    I had the Big Melo & my boyfriend had The Roast. Both were absolutely delicious. "This is the best sandwich I've ever had in my life!" = direct quote from my boyfriend Then we had an awesome waffle with ice cream. Melo is friendly, welcoming & genuine. Definitely check out this place in Temecula!

    Very friendly and helpful employees, generous samples, and limited, but comfortable seating inside. The shop is cute, and relaxing. They have lots of fun ice cream flavors! I had the mint, and it was so good! My husband and kids enjoyed their ice cream too. They also have sandwiches, which we will have to come back and try!

    January 2026 visit: I was in the mood for one of their sandwiches and got it for takeout. It tasted slightly different as it didn't have the same impact on me the first few times, but it was still good.

    Exterior of Melo's shop.  He's only been there for 10 months.  Hope he's here for a long while!

    Saturday, 9-27-2025: We were craving these sandwiches after our grandson's soccer game. When we entered it was in a little disarray as there was a very bright, expansive mural in the progress of being painted. Staff were welcoming & friendly. Unfortunately, no Gabriel. We ordered our usual faves: Little Melo Sandwich & Tuna Salad Sandwich. It was served rather quickly for which we were grateful because we were starving. As before, sandwiches were scrumptious, the bread was to die for! We really enjoyed it very much! Their ice cream is so good. Great dining experience. We're fans.

    Our sandwiches were AMAZING! We would definitely recommend go there to try it out! We devoured our sandwiches (the Gusto and the Roast)! We would go there again in a heartbeat and tryout other sandwiches! The bread was amazing as well. Next time I will try out the cheese and jalapeño bread! We were also given ice cream samples their cheesecake and salted caramel-those too were fantastic! Service was phenomenal! The chalk board was a fun interactive thing that my son loved!

    Club

    Great sandwich shop. My husband and I ordered the club and we both loved it. Next time I would ask for mustard as well. My daughter ordered the Italian sub and loved hers as well. So much better than all the chain sandwich shops and it is great supporting a smaller business. Try it out you won't be dissapointed.

    Birria Panini on jalepeno cheese bread with provolone cheese, onions and cilantro. $13 This sandwich was excellent.

    They no longer have the Birria sandwich. Still a cute place, great employees but a little overpriced for the size you get.

    Spectacular food and service at this lovely little shop. It feels like you're in a small town on an island rather than in Southern California. Sandwiches made with care and quality ingredients. Ice cream is also very good. Very nice and helpful staff. Will return.

    Melo was amazing at customer service and his sandwiches were delicious. I wish I could say that was the best part but I would be lying. The ice cream here is from a different planet. I've tried MANY different ice creams in America from MA to CA and this is the absolute best. Support a young man working hard to make something of himself. Doesn't hurt that you might become addicted to his food and ice cream

    Delicious and fresh ingredients! I enjoy the vibe with the painted murals and great service. Definitely my new sandwich spot!

    How have I not yet written the review about Melo's?! my kids love this place and so do I. We first came here with friends one hot day after school for ice cream. I fell in love with a flavor called Fat Elvis because who can't?? Decided I needed to come back with my son and so on a half day from school, I bring both kids in for a sandwich and ice cream. We're chatting with the nice young man who is serving us and learned that he is in fact, Melo! The kids are now thrilled to know that they've met the owner and when we find him on Instagram, the children are now buzzing with excitement that they know someone who is "famous". Every time they get a good grade on a test or wanna celebrate something the request is always can we go to mellows. They want to say hi and enjoy how he looks after them ,letting them try different flavors occasionally get some to sample some new fun thing he's been working on. Everything is fresh. Everything is delicious and we love coming here.

    Cado (i added tomatoes/onions)

    the cado sandwich was delicious and they have really unique ice cream flavors - i liked the heaps of love flavor!

    This is their snack bar of latin munchies with candy, fruits, chips, and sauce toppings!

We stopped here on the way home from Pechanga while charging our Tesla and since it was in the same plaza, we figured we'd check it out. I assumed it was more of a franchise bakery than a standalone artisan spot, so I came in with pretty low expectations. I was just planning to grab a cinnamon roll, a loaf of their Cinnamon Burst Bread and a quick sandwich for the drive home. To my surprise, their house-made sandwiches are served on freshly baked bread, made with fresh ingredients, and cost under $10 (Panera could never!!!). Their baked goods were also reasonably priced with generous portions. We picked up the Cinnamon Burst Bread, a cinnamon roll, a honey bran muffin (which completely stole the show for me; it was incredibly moist and I'd come back just for that) and an almond poppy seed scone. The service here was just as impressive. Everyone was so friendly and personable and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed being there. I also loved their "Giving Rack," where anyone in need can take free baked goods. It's such a thoughtful idea and says a lot about the kind of business they are. This is easily one of my favorite bakery finds and it'll definitely be a regular stop whenever I'm back in the area.

On my first visit, the employees were so engrossed in watching Ice Age that they would actually stop making sandwiches to watch scenes from the movie. I thought it was just a one-time thing, but on my second visit, the same thing happened while the staff was watching Star Wars. They would pause their work to pay attention to what was happening on the screen instead of focusing on customers and food preparation. The employees also seem very inattentive and reluctant to interact with customers. It often feels like they're more interested in watching movies and collecting a paycheck than providing service. The food is good, but the customer experience suffers because the staff appears distracted, disengaged, and uninterested in doing their jobs.

The subs are always made fresh right in front of you, which is kinda fun to watch, and everything tastes really good and consistent every time.

The workers are usually really chill and get your order done pretty fast, even when it's busy. It can get a little crowded during lunch hours, but it usually moves quick so it's not a big deal. And plus with a good ambiance inside, even when it's just, it's still enjoyable. Overall it's just a really solid spot when I want something quick, filling, and actually good.

    This 12-Inch Toasted Beast Just Executed My Sad Spinach & Nut Butter Smoothie Diet -- And I'm Not…read moreEven Pressing Charges Temecula, I rolled in a starving 6'4" disaster who's been choking down spinach-and-nut-butter smoothies like a hostage for weeks. Rockin' Jay's looked at my weak soul and said "bet" -- then saved it in the best way possible. Counter girl hit me with a smile so bright I almost reached for sunglasses. The entire all-female crew was straight beast-mode at the open sandwich bar, slinging subs like they were on a mission from the sandwich gods. Atmosphere? Spacious as hell, proper New York deli that moonlights as a 70s rock dive -- screaming reds and greens, green booths, wooden tables, tiled floors, the whole retro package you see in the pics. The playlist was gloriously all over the place in the best way -- Contemporary Christian one minute, 2019 pop bangers the next, basically spanning six decades of straight fire. "Listen to your heart" came on and I damn near did while they built my baby. Every single pick was gold though. I ordered the 12" Capicola & Provolone ($16.69). I yelled "the works -- no mustard, drown me in onions and olives." They dropped an absolute beast of a sandwich... and it came perfectly toasted straight out the gate the way it should be. No sad "can you toast this?" negotiation. Golden, crunchy bread that cracks like it owes you money. Meat stacked stupid high, provolone doing its melty thing, then they buried the whole thing under an avalanche of fresh, snapping shredded lettuce and threw in those glossy peppers on the side like a mic drop. This thing is ridiculously messy -- oil dripping, lettuce flying, pure delicious chaos in every bite. Pro tip: there's no napkin dispenser at the tables, so you gotta go full scavenger hunt by the self-serve soda machine to grab your own stack. Worth every greasy finger and napkin raid. It fed this giant for two meals and left me still full, slightly greasy, and weirdly emotional. My spinach smoothie PTSD? Cured. If your diet has been as depressing as mine, stop torturing yourself and drag your weak ass here immediately. Friendly as can be, killer vibe, and subs that actually deliver. Tell 'em the tall smoothie refugee sent you. I'm claiming a booth next week and bringing stretchy pants... and maybe my own napkin stash.
