Husband and I wanted some coffee after an early morning appointment and we have driven past this coffee multiple times and decided to stop in. It has a quaint vibe. Cozy decor. Advertised that you can rent the space for events. Very simple coffee menu and they have a small ramen bar. The barista greeted us loudly when we walked in which was good because we did not see him until we were halfway into the shop. Super friendly guy. I ordered their Carmel toffee crunch latte and my husband ordered their cold brew. The barista explained it's more like an Americano which was perfect for my husband (if you've read my coffee reviews you know my husband drinks his coffee black). Our drinks were made quickly while we looked around and after we received them we took them to go. Both drinks were very well made. Latte wasn't overly sweet and husband said it was a good Americano. We will return to try some of their other menu items. read more

Melrose Coffee and Boba in Clemmons is an adorable local coffee shop. They have a spacious interior with ample seating, including couches, loveseats, chairs, and high-top seating. The perfect place to work on the go, catch up with friends, treat the kids and yourself, or just come to relax. The barista was friendly and suggested one of the seasonal drinks. The owners are California transplants who aim to share their love of specialty coffee with the community. Offering a wide range of coffee, tea, mocktails, and cocktails as well as baked goods, they have something for everyone to sip on and enjoy. Offering a variety of monthly drink specials to choose from. I purchased the chocolate kiss, and it was delicious and even came with a Hershey's kiss. I recommend eating the chocolate before you start to enjoy your drink. It enhances the cocoa flavor profile and adds an extra depth to the drink's taste. read more

We visited Winston-Salem for the first time and were looking for a coffee place and decided to visit Melrose Coffee. What a wonderful choice we made because just wow. The place looks so modern and sleek and gives chill, cutesy vibes all around. It just so happened to be their grand opening and we showed up literally right when they opened and the owners were SO NICE. They made us feel so welcome and treated us like we were family! As we were looking at the menu, they noticed that I was Filipino and even mentioned some items that weren't on the menu. She asked if I liked Ube (I LOVE UBE) and offered to make me an Ube latte! Not sure if maybe they plan on adding it to their menu or creating a seasonal or limited menu because it definitely wasn't listed, but I'm so glad she did because oh my goodness that might have been the best Ube latte I've ever had. A lot of times I find the coffee taste overpowers the Ube, but the way she made this latte I was very impressed. I could taste the Ube right away. Sad this place isn't closer to me. Not sure when we are coming back to the area, but if we ever do I am definitely coming back to try more of their things! read more

We made a stop at Melrose on our way to drop our son off at App State. I absolutely loved the decor and different types of seating. It was very cozy while still giving you a good place to set up and work or study if needed. The young man at the counter was polite and efficient. Our coffee was fantastic and the pastries were quite yummy. They were also warmed to the perfect temperature to enjoy. This can definitely be a repeat stop when traveling in the area! read more

I've been to Melrose Coffee 2x's where the service is great and coffee & tea has a wide variety of both. The pastries and muffins are very good. On August 8t, the Triad Women's Club - Scholarship program held the Scholarship certificate presentation and celebration. The setting was perfect for the celebration! Everyone was very comfortable as we shared about the program, each of the recipients brought family members and shared about their path towards achieving their college degrees. We were able to take some great pictures of the attendees with a great backdrop. There are multiple areas within the space so you can have one on one conversations or group meetings or small or medium celebrations. Melrose has weekend and weekday packages to host events. @melrosecoffeesws. Want to know more about TWC Scholarships go to triadwomensclub.org. read more

First off I just would like to say I found a GEM. This coffee shop is so girly and I felt as if I belonged here. You know the term, "I'm just a girl". That was me. It was blush pink everywhere and the decorations is just what I needed to be around to get work done. They have guest WiFi which works pretty well. I was able to get my favorite drink a "hot chai latte" which was very tasty. They also have treats for you to enjoy as well as RAMEN. The service was great. However, I would have liked for the music to be a little bit more quieter as I was trying to get work done but the selection was still great. read more

Hidden gem! Just came here yesterday for the first time and had a wonderful time. It's so hard for me to leave the downtown area but I'm glad I ventured outside the radius because I discovered this amazingly clean, chic, and vibrant space. They serve coffee, pastries, and wine in the most inviting, co-work/hang out friendly space. There's plenty of lounge, couch, and communal seating in the open concept space. We arrived right at noon (Tuesday) and there was only one other person there. We ordered our drinks (salted caramel toffee crunch latte- coffee- and a blue cat latte-tea) and split a nutella croissant. They heated the croissant so it was perfectly warm and chocolaty and the drinks came out in no time. Flavor wise, it hit the spot. I am not even a fan of tea to begin with, but the blue cat was not bad! We hung out for an hour or so and got to chat with the owner and business partner a bit at the end. They also own Sushi Rose in downtown, so I'll add that to my queue. Glad I discovered this place, I will be back. Minor note: they served our drinks in to-go cups and we noticed that a party who arrived after us had been given their drinks in dine-in mugs. It's nice to enjoy real drinkware when we aren't taking orders to go! read more

I have been meaning to try Melrose for a while. My son and I decided to try Melrose since we were close by and looking for a coffee treat. The inside is modern and lovely. They have nice couches and places to sit. The baristas were very nice and helpful. They were also sweet to my son. They were knowledgeable about their coffee and gave great recommendations. I ordered the pistachio latte and an almond croissant. My son had the chocolate croissant. Both pastries were delicious. My coffee was also excellent. We enjoyed hanging out while enjoying our food. We plan to come back. read more

This place has an interesting vibe. Unlike most coffee shops, there aren't a lot of tables for people to use laptops. It's much more focused on facilitating conversations. I ordered a large vanilla latte. That came to over $6 (plus a tip), so it's not the cheapest place in town. I like the dimly lit experience though. read more

This place is amazing. I love the atmosphere. You have different sitting areas to sit down and have conversations with friends or family or even to sit down and do some schoolwork or some work on your laptop or even just to read a book is very peaceful. The coffees and teas are amazing. The service is great and fast. They even have a little greenery area where you can stand and take pictures before leaving. Definitely a place to check out. read more

This is actually a review for the Greensboro location! We are soooo excited this LA/Miami chic coffee shop has opened in Greensboro. It's so much more than coffee, they are opening a wine bar, sushi/peruvian concept. They even are building a whiskey bar and will have a science themed speakeasy for the kids! Nevin, the owner, sat down with us as we enjoyed our ferrier roche and saluted caramel iced almond milk lattes. Super cool guy and grateful the WS location has expanded to Greensboro. read more

Cute place, great coffee! We came in on a Saturday morning en route to some antiquing and it was quiet: just a few folks and the nicest baristas. I got a vanilla tiramisu latte with almond milk and oh it was creamy and very delicious. Def major tiramisu vibes! Hubs got a ferrero rocher latte and he's pretty sure there was one in it because it was so chocolatey and decadent! Barely something to bring up: the neon light art on the left side of the store is a VIBE but BRIGHT. I think if I was working there during the day I would need my back against it or a guaranteed migraine. Fantastic coffee and service though! read more

Easily the swankiest coffee shop in Winston-Salem, with good drinks and service, so not just fancy on the surface. My biggest problem was how the seating was set up. The sofas faced each other for conversation but there was no place to set your drink down! That said, will happily revisit when I need some caffeine on that side of town. read more

I got the blue cat latte because I love cats. But then I found out that it's made with butterfly pea tea flower and if you add something acidic it turns purple or pink but adding a basic substance turns it blue. How bout them apples. Also, it tastes like a flowery cotton candy read more

In the hunt for coffee, we found this cool cafe via Yelp and then read the reviews. And the reviews are good! Taken right in to the "Cali" experience by the relaxed atmosphere set up by the interior decorating and playlist, we walked to the order counter in back. The coffee recommendations and assistance we received in our initial order and the follow up friendliness of the staff and owner, Benjamin, are a big part of the 5 stars. We chose lattes and iced drip coffee. Family members enjoyed their lattes and my light roast Brazilian drip coffee (black) was smooth. After reading a review that mentioned a "secret menu", I knew I had to ask. The off-menu item was a mocha strawberry latte (2% milk recommended) and Benjamin walked me through the options including sweetness level. When I took my first taste, my taste buds were thrilled. Like a liquid ice cream drink, the flavor combo provided the perfect combo of chocolate, strawberry and milk. While coffee was our choice, teas, adult beverages and bakery items are also available, including macaroons and an El Camino brownie. I'm one of a growing number who are thankful that Benjamin and crew, have relocated from CA to the Winston-Salem area. When we are back in the area and coffee is needed, I'll definitely stop back here. read more

California Dream' Love this place!! And you will too!! I found my new coffee spot and I don't even drink coffee!! (I'm more of a tea person haha) I wish I could give them 10 stars!!! Anytime I can support a local business I'm all in, especially if they are my homies from LA :) As soon as you walk in, the atmosphere itself is like nothing you've ever seen in Winston. About time we get something NEW and FRESH in town. Move over Starbucks, there's a new cat in town and it's called Melrose Cafe. I was immediately welcomed by Nevin, the owner, when I walked in. Him and his staff are the friendliest people I have ever met. I'm not exaggerating. He told me about their secret menu, which of course took me back to my In-N-Out days. My Cali peeps know what I mean lol. He also did an overview on the rest of their menu, which was super helpful. They have a lot of offer! Anyways WOW....the options they have are so unique and interesting! I plan to try something new every time I go because everything sounds amazing!!! Things like their Fruity Pebble Latte or Blueberry Lavender Latte...wowowowowow Aside from their secret menu there are a multitude of choices for coffee, tea, and signature drinks. Plus baked goods and savory treats. Alongside my coffee I ordered a chicken croissant sandwich and 2 macaroons. OMG!!!! There are no words to describe how amazing everything tasted. You have got to go there for yourself and see. Don't delay. GO!! Like right NOW!!! You will not be disappointed. Your tastebuds will thank you! **The cafe is also available to reserve for events or special occasions. read more

Talk about a WHOLE. VIBE. Lucky for my husband and I, when we visited Melrose last Friday, it was their first day serving wine, champagne, and Bellinis so at 12 pm, it was definitely socially appropriate to partake ;) I ordered the lavender rosemary Bellini as well as the watermelon rose Bellini. My husband tried one of their many fancy mimosas and all we gatta say is... WOW! We didn't get the opportunity to try any coffee but no worries there, we HAVE to return to try EVERYTHING. From their sleek, L.A.-esque atmosphere to the hospitality of the owner/employees, this is a place you're just... drawn to. If that even makes any sense. Iykyk. It was also a nice perk that the owner sat down to chat about their upcoming projects and let's just say they have big plans for EVERY part of the triad... so stay tuned read more

Wonderful atmosphere with dark moody vibes and comfy couches. They have a selection of your traditional coffees and then some crazy dessert lattes that can also be turned into frappes. I ordered vanilla pistachio with soy and it was perfect and not too sweet. We met the owner who was so welcoming and so passionate about what he does and we fell into wonderful conversation . Any coffee shop that has warm vibes, a wide selection of coffees (and tea and wine), and some solid baked goods is always a win. But add in a passionate and driven family owned coffee shop where the owner takes time to make sure your coffee is perfect and to engage in conversation about their vision for expanding culture and diversity with their upcoming projects in the triad makes this way above the rest. read more

What a vibrant and lively atmosphere! Melrose Cafe is unlike any other coffee shop. They offer coffee, tea, wine, and small bites. Transitioning from Cali, the owners brought a little of home and successfully incorporated into the design of the cafe. The environment itself is very electrifying, modern, and well-kept. The owners were personable and made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend coming to this cafe to hang out with friends to chill. The dirty Thai tea was great. It was a great twist on the Thai Tea. The salted caramel toffee crunch was also delicious! Overall the drinks were unique and yummy. read more

Vegan options for food and beverages as well. read more

Maybe if it's. Different batista. I personally believe she has absolutely no training no organizational skills there wasn't even enough milk to make a full breve and she got the orders wrong and it took 25 minutes to get the drink and there were six other people after us and just absolute chaos for this poor girl. However I've seen very skilled very trained Baristas be able to handle a crowd with no problem. But this wasn't it. Only thing going for this place right now is the ambience read more

Stop what you're doing and come to melrose. Not only are they serving delicious coffee but they offer wine, good vibes, and a gorgeous seating area.

I love coming here the energy always brightens my mood. THEY HAVE A SECRET MENU! Ask for it. Everything is a 10/10 melrose is exactly what Winston need and what YOU need to try.

Finally had a meeting free day to come in to work. It was perfection! The staff are all super friendly and welcoming. I think I have been at least 5 times since I've started this review. The atmosphere is very chic plenty of work space and outlets through out. There is a private meeting space and an ally for the perfect selfie or picture. Every time I come I get something different because the specials drinks on the Instagram always sound amazing and their staff make great recommendations. A few times I just say I want something strong, rich coffee taste, and lightly sweeten and whatever their staff cups up with is always magic in a cup! read more

I've been on Yelp since 2008, and with my husband even longer... yet in all that time I don't think I've ever heard him urge me to review a place. Until now. We moved to Winston a couple of months ago and Melrose has quickly become his favorite coffee shop in town. Full disclosure I am a California transplant so probably biased but the aesthetic of this cafe is totally my jam. Classy, hip, chic...and yet still inviting and cozy enough to kick back here. It's hard to find anything else like it here. The coffee variety here is great. I am a HUGE fan of the dalgona here. I was a coffee shop barista in college and we have our own capability to make americanos, cappuccinos and lattes at home, but when we have time for something special, Melrose is our go to. I think my husband was worried because it's never too crowded in here unlike some of our favorite coffee shops in Chicago and SD, but I honestly think that it's just a reflection of the different culture/population size in Winston. I love that we always have a place to sit here if we like. But you should go visit! And don't sleep on the dalgona. read more

Something so new and different for Winston, about time! Not your average coffee shop, Melrose coffee is truly unique. Such warm and friendly staff. Full of info and telling up us about the secret menu, which luckily I'd already read about. Great coffee menu, and snacks and pastries. Huge space, lots of couches, chairs, a private room with a TV and couches for those wanting a less public arena. An extremely cool garden walk area, indoors , great picture taking spot! I love how spacious it is, most Winston coffee shops are small and cramped. Tastefully decorated for the holidays, but also in general, creating a very cool vibe. So the barista told us about the secret menu drink, the blueberry pancake latte, literally tastes just like one! So delish. I also had the dirty chai latte, loved it, my only request is real cups and mugs please! I get that disposable is the way to go, but everything is better in a real mug! The Chai was nice with spice, and I could taste the espresso. My new Goto drink. It was my friends birthday and we mentioned that we were taking her for coffee and then brunch, so they came and gave her a brownie, after we had our drinks, that was a really nice way to start her day! Great brownie too! They told us that they were looking to add a wine bar soon, and give the evenings a different kinda vibe. Can't wait for this! I do wish they had a patio for seating but they don't. I'm praying this place gets more popular and becomes a staple in town. I'm telling everyone I know. Very California, very cool, very much needed ! read more

This spot has an unassuming exterior- but I'm loving the vibe that you encounter on the inside. This definitely fills an aesthetic that is not found in Winston.

Great place, great people, great drink! After a short conversation at the ordering station about how I love the seasonal Peach Green Tea Lemonade @ Starbucks, the barista (I think his name was Ben!) recommended a mix of their Peach Lemonade refresher + Strawberry Orange Sunrise loose leaf tea. It was even better than my go-to seasonal drink at Starbucks. Love the gradient when it came out. It really told me they know their stuff! I loved the drink and the vibe so much, I went back the next day for more. I met Nevin the owner who is super awesome. There is a lot of seating space, both casual couches for conversation + raised tables and stools for laptop work. Interior is very cute. I like that Melrose is different than an average "coffee shop" because it a perfect for someone like me who enjoys coffee but sometimes leans more toward "refreshers" that are juice- or tea- based. & I was told about a ~Melrose At Night~ event where they do cocktails & wine! Talk about doing it all!! 10/10 recommend! read more

INTRO: A hip coffee shop with a contemporary interior that gives off California vibes. Look no further if you're trying to be dazzled by a coffee shop that has exceptional customer service, passionate employees, perfect photo opportunities for the Gram, and most importantly, fantastic drinks. DRINK 1: DIRTY CHAI LATTE w/ SOY MILK ($5.25) - Honestly not the biggest fan. I could barely taste the "chai" flavor, and the drink tasted a bit watered down. Not sure if this is how the drink was intended to taste, but I've had dirty chai lattes in the past and this doesn't taste like a dirty chai latte. 5/10 DRINK 2: BLUEBERRY LATTE w/ OAT MILK ($5.50) - GET THIS DRINK. YOU'LL THANK ME FOR IT. This drink is a part of their "secret menu", and isn't listed anywhere on their actual menu. This latte is the literal manifestation of a blueberry muffin in drink form - it smells like a freshly baked blueberry muffin from Camino Bakery and tastes exactly like one too. I don't think I've ever had my mouth drop from tasting a coffee as unique as their blueberry latte. 11/10 DRINK 3: DALGONA (THAI TEA) ($5.00) - I promise you that you can't get dalgona coffee anywhere else in Winston-Salem. There's no other coffee shop that does this. They add the thai tea foam and condensed milk on top of a layer of milk of your choosing. The thai tea is tasty and tastes as it should. 7/10 DRINK 4: DALGONA (COFFEE) ($5.00) - See above. Can't go wrong with their standard coffee flavor. 7/10 DRINK 5: LE CHOCOLAT CHAUD AKA HOT CHOCOLATE ($3.50) - Solid hot chocolate that isn't overbearingly sweet. The chocolate they use for their hot chocolate is a slightly bitter, semi-sweet chocolate that will make you wonder why you haven't ordered more hot chocolate. 7/10 SNACK 1: CREAM CHEESE BROWNIE ($4.75) - This brownie literally melts in your mouth. You don't even need to close your mouth to chew it because it will disintegrate the moment it touches your tongue. Unlike most brownies, this brownie is NOT overbaked or unnecessarily dense, but rather, it is extremely moist and retains a fluffy consistency. 7/10 SNACK 2: COOKIES - OATMEAL RAISIN and BUTTERSCOTCH ($1.50/each) - Slightly smaller sized cookies that are moist on the inside and hard on the outside. The flavor profile is 100% there. 7/10 WORTH IT? YES! It's about time that Winston-Salem had their own modern coffee shop that strives to incorporate the traditional familiarities of coffee culture and the continuous experimentation required to break out of the norm so that Melrose can make a name for themselves, and to be honest, I think they're doing a pretty darn good job. read more

This charming coffee shop is a wonderful place to start your day or brighten an afternoon. read more
