Stopped in today and thoroughly enjoyed their Bacon & Bleu salad. It had red onions, bacon, blue cheese, and cinnamon sugar pecan pieces with a wonderful vinaigrette. What really sets this place apart from everyone else in the area, and I mean EVERYONE, is the absolute quality of their ingredients. Often times I feel guilty ordering a salad out, because I can make one at home, but this one, you just can't buy the quality of ingredients they use. I've never seen more perfect lettuce in my life. I could eat all the blue cheese they have in the building. So amazing. I can't wait to explore the rest of the menu. Pro tip- I know it adds calories, but an extra dressing is pretty clutch in my book. read more

My friend and I have been here a few times. She really loves your salads. Yesterday we got salads and hers had 2 long blonde hairs in it! She threw the rest out! Nothing is more disgusting. We will never be back. There's no excuse for this! read more

Food was delicious, very good service, recommend for everyone, will be coming back, the places is super clean, well cared for, and so cute

Second visit and love the Tuscan salad! There's enough in the order to have two meals! The staff is very friendly and helpful with questions about menu options. Everything is clean and there is plenty of comfortable seating for dining -in. Very happy to have Sweet Melissa's so close to home read more

Excellent customer relations skills. Sweet Melissa's is genuinely concerned about the quality of their products and does whatever it takes to ensure that every customer is satisfied. read more

I'm here at least once a week. If you're a fan of salads and wraps, this is the spot for you. My absolute favorite is the Dylan's wrap.

The food quality is good. They do not close the wraps. It's a pain /mess to eat them. Going to be awhile before coming back.

My first visit! I tried the Bacon and Bleu. I loved it. Loved the presentation; in a to go box- just in case you need to take it home. Loved the fresh ingredients and the in-house made dressing. I also had a bit of the Monday special; Ham and Cheese Sliders. They were fantastic as well. Friendly cashier. Decent amount of seating. read more

First time here and got the lunchbox salad. It was absolutely delicious and such a unique flavor combination! Looking forward to trying more! read more

The food is always fresh and amazing ! The staff is always attentive and nice. The establishment is always clean and the decor is inviting.

Eight of us went to the restaurant. There was no one in the restaurant at 11:30. I went up and asked if we could put two tables together to accommodate all of us. I was told that we were unable to do that, so we all left. They will never see any of us again. You would think that with a new establishment in Howland they would want to do all that they could to serve their customers. read more

This is some of the best food I have ever had the pleasure of eating. ‍‍ It's so fresh, and the chicken is so flavorful! I got the pesto wrap, it was bursting at the seems with fresh lettuce. The pesto/peanut sauce is AMAZING. I also got a cookie-BEST COOKIE I HAVE EVER EATEN. You can see into the kitchen and it is so clean!!! The service was IMPECCABLE. They have these cute little tables out front to sit and eat at. My friend and I shoved our faces full and between full bites could not stop saying "this is so delicious", or "so fresh!", or my favorite was "if I had 100K I would invest in her business" or even "I could write a whole romance novel about this lunch". It was so so so worth it. Great prices and great food. Honestly they could charge more if they wanted to- it's that good. 10/10 EVERYTHING. Love to see a business with such a cute aesthetic, clean kitchen, and WONDERFUL FOOD. read more

Sweet Melissa's - That's all I had left when I realized I should show proof of my absolute muck:) - Comfort Food Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

Excellent....just excellent. Salads and wraps galore all of which had fresh ingredients and are made to order. I sampled a few of their salads with the first being the Tuscan salad which had chicken, mozzarella, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and their homemade garlic and lemon vinaigrette. I also tried the Cinnamon Harvest which is chopped apples, roasted walnuts, bacon, bleu cheese with a cinnamon sugar vinaigrette over greens. Like I mentioned earlier, every ingredient is so fresh and the house made vinaigrettes are simply delicious. The Cinnamon Harvest salad was like dessert which was a deliciously pleasant surprise. After sampling these salads, I finished it off with a Caprese slider which is topped with turkey, black forest ham, mozzarella and baby Swiss baked on a Hawaiian sweet rolls. Ummmm-yeah! Delicious! Will definitely be going back and highly recommend a visit. read more

Great customer service. Consistency with excellent quality. Delicious wraps and salads. Always excited when someone suggests Sweet Melissa's!! My favorite is the garlic chicken wrap and i usually take home a container of something. read more

I love love love Sweet Melissa's! My mom knows Melissa, so she was eager for my sisters and I to try it out. We had catered boxed lunches for my sister's bridal shower last august, and everyone raved about the food. I ate inside once (quite awhile ago), but this review is for May 10. Sweet Melissa's is only open for take out right now. We ordered online and chose a time for pickup, and the whole process is very easy and organized. We all ordered the same thing, the Tuscan Chicken salad. I am definitely not a salad person, but I have no idea what is in this salad, because I am absolutely obsessed!!! It's a combo of romaine, mozzarella cheese, craisins, sunflower seeds, and grilled chicken. The dressing is their garlic lemon vinaigrette. The portion is HUGE! We ordered two salads for three of us to split and there were enough leftovers for two more portions. We did order two extra dressings - totally worth the upcharge. I've already asked my mom to ship some of that dressing out to Arizona (they sell bottles of their dressing!) for my birthday so I can have it at home ;) Highly recommend!!! Very high quality food for incredible prices. read more

Best salads in town and I'm a salad freak! All the dressings are homemade no artificial ingredients- the proof is in the fresh taste. Sweet Melissa's food comes alive in your mouth! Update: So I've been going here since they opened and I'm sorry to say this place has slipped. Same good flavors but the quality has gone downhill. We order the same salad and the last 5 times (yes, we are gluttons for punishment) we got it, the lettuce was so soggy it was inedible. Call us hopeful, but the flavors are so good we kept trying. I even called once to let the owner know, not because I wanted a refund, but because I so wanted them to get better again. Really gonna miss this place. Please, please get a salad spinner and make your customers happy again! read more

Service is fast, food is great!, and the staff are friendly and willing to help! I have not eaten in at this place, however the place is very clean! I order to-go and my order has always been prepared quick and correct. read more

Anytime I stop in town this is one of my must haves!! Their food is SO GOOD! Blueberry Hill salad is literally to die for! I just recently tried the basil dressing and will be getting a huge to go of that next time! Do yourself a favor and go! read more

Their daily sliders, when they haven't sold out, is always a treat. For the longest time I thought they were a bakery or pastry shop due to sweet being in their name, but it is a fast casual place with great food. read more

Hands down...best salads and wraps in the area. My absolute favorite is the Tuscan Chicken Salad without the red onions and an extra vinaigrette. read more

Everything is so fresh here. They have a lot of different tasting items that are amazing! Great place to go for lunch. Service is excellent and I've never been disappointedwith anything I've ordered. Superb Just had carry out lunch from here today on April 15, 2020. I ordered a Tuscan chicken salad and chicken Gyro wrap. I thought they might be slow since most businesses have slowed down due to coronavirus. However, when I placed my order, they told me it would be ready in 40 minutes and asked if that was OK. It was during lunchtime, and I'm glad I ordered it before I started doing errands because a lot of times I only allow 15 to 20 minutes for restaurants to prepare carry out food. When I arrived, I was a couple of minutes early so I paid for the items. As soon as she ran my credit card through the machine, my order was up. They had lots of orders waiting to be picked up, and I could see at least four people in the back preparing the food, so they were not short staffed. Everyone that worked there was wearing a mask read more

What a gem in town! Driving through and found this place online as a town favorite. The owner works just as hard as anyone else in the restaurant and even greeted us herself when she found out we were from out of town. The bacon and bleu salad was to die for. The grilled cheese is really just a cheese quesadilla and was nothing special. As a heads up, they do not have a soda tap either, so all beverages are sold in cans/bottles. Highly recommend popping in for lunch! read more

Greatest salads, wraps, dips and employees! Fun atmosphere especially in Columbiana! Melissa is so nice and down to earth! Emma is so sweet those cookies are to die for!! read more

The inside is so cute and the staff was adorable and friendly! It's such a great lunch spot! 10/10 Recommend!! read more

I am in town from Georgia for work, and I got a recommendation to come here and eat. During my visit, I saw the owner visit with her regulars, introduce herself and meet new customers, and help run food! She had a genuine smile and seemed to care about her customers satisfaction. The prices are great. The salads!!!! Absolutely the best salad I've had in a long time. If you're like me and you're scrolling and searching for local food that won't disappoint, come here! I'm serious! I travel to a different city each week, and this place is exceptional! read more

Anytime I'm in town, this place is at the top of my list to grab a salad!!! It is so good!

This is a rare find in the Valley; a salad and wrap place. Simple menu, good food, nice size portions for the price. Conveniently located just South of Akron Children's Hospital- Boardman Campus, it's I nice place to pop in for lunch and decompress. No gluten free menu, per se, but all salads except the Thai Chicken are GF. Would be nice to have a bit more variety (kale, roasted veggies, salmon) but I would definitely come back. We've picked up some of their hummus for home - highly recommended. Thanks read more
