This place easily has the best coffee in town, and some of the greatest people on staff. The quality of the coffee is far beyond most anything I can think of, based on taste and how I feel after drinking it. I love the gluten free pastries and food here as well. The omelets and tacos they were offering before COVID were absolutely amazing! I hope they bring them back soon!

A cute and quaint little coffee shop in downtown Wenatchee. Cute spot to take a break and grab something to drink, sit and chat with friends/family or take some time for yourself to enjoy a bite to eat.

Really great coffee, especially their nitro cold group. Very tasty breakfast burrito and quiche with a very cozy atmosphere.

Moved to the Wenatchee area a few months ago and finally was able to try this place out. The coffee is great and so was the ham egg sandwich.

Outstanding breakfast -- the Classic, featuring eggs (over easy), thick, artisan toast, chunks of potatoes, bacon (or sausage), ROCKED -- & a small array of coffeehouse desserts (scones, cookies). Outstanding baristas. Spacious, clean, classy brick & mortar decor. Nice community hub too in the heart of downtown Wenatchee. The coffee, though, tastes like its been sitting in the bottom of an aluminum pot. Offer coconut sugar as an option!

Well roasted coffee and lot of seating. Plenty of parking too. I was impressed with the royalty program. This coffee shop looks and feels like a real coffee shop. It even has a stage! The coffee was flavorful, and they offered a variety of roasts.

My Americano was pretty good, but for a place that only roast specialty beans I wish the beans were at least sold in bags with the little air hole to squeeze the smell through. There’s no way to smell, and no way to sample with out spending $4 on an 8oz americano. I would’ve bought a couple bags if I had a way to at least smell what I was purchasing. I would highly recommend a “sniff at your own risk” area, OR serve a coffee flight like at a wine bar. You’re truly missing a ton of sells!

Hand crafted espresso drinks. Comfortable coffee lounge environment. Limited menu at this time due to the pandemic.

The coffee was perfect! I had a vanilla latte with lavender syrup. I was happily surprised that they offered lavender syrup. I got the steak breakfast burrito and it was good, nothing special about it. The service was fast. It was a popular spot, some folks there for small meetings, some reading books, others working on their laptop, it was truly a nice coffee shop to sit and get my work done.

Fantastic coffee shop in downtown Wenatchee. The roast their own beans, and whether you want a pour over, bottomless cup of drip, or specialty coffee or tea, you wont be disappointed. The also have a great breakfast menu, and there are a few delicious items for vegans.

You walk in from the busy street in wennatchee and immediately come into a relaxed and friendly atmosphere! You get a nice enthused welcoming from the barista and she asks what she can make for you! I asked for a pour-over made from Costa Rican beans, and it was quite exceptional! Very smooth coffee! My wife ordered a vanilla latte which was made perfectly! Nice temperature, texture of the foam was right, and the art was beautiful! Lots of places to sit at in seclusion, or if you like enjoying company and activity, than you can sit at the bar and watch the barista and enjoy you drink! They sell quality equipment to make coffee also also! Cant say enough good about it!

Excellent quality latte. Customer service was not great and the prices are akin to Seattle, a little too high for my taste ($8 for a mocha). Id come back but Id only get drip coffee because of the prices.

One of the awesome coffee shops here in Wenatchee. Great ambience and right in the downtown area adds the Star to it.

While I was there visiting my friend, we both recognized that the floor was very dirty. We also noticed that when the people that were behind us left, nobody came over to wipe the table off.

Coffee is sour and burned. Matcha latte tastes like Luke warm fresh cow milk. Given this place a try but ended up with a rancid smoothie, and burned beans every time. I love the food and it’s a great place to study but numerous times I’ve been disappointed.

My partner declared not once, but twice, this is really good coffee! I agree. We are always looking for independent roasteries/coffee shops to support. So glad we stopped here today. Adorable covered sidewalk seating. Plus, you can buy cider and wine to go! Bonus points: they have a swiss water decaf, which is hard to find!

Over priced and only premade breakfast burritos, really? Update your website so travelers dont go out of their way to visit your business only to end up disappointed in lack of variety on baked goods paying $11 dollars for a coffee and tea.

Great food and excellent coffee. I came here during a camping trip with family. We were hungry for a good breakfast and were greatly rewarded here. If you’re anywhere within the vicinity, check it out. Wonderful staff and a comfortable atmosphere make this a major hit.

Coffee is not over-roasted bitterness here! I had a lovely lighter-medium pour over and you can actually taste origin flavors. I also had the biscuit sliders and they were totally yum!

I stopped in for morning coffee. It’s coffee, maybe the whole bean has some artisanal roasting notes, but the drip didn’t inspire me to chaff out the beans for a bag. So a 16oz coffee to go is just over $4 - that’s a lot. The cafe has a nice coffee house atmosphere in an old downtown setting. Hey, way effin better than supporting Nestle’s national owned coffee company.

This is an awesome and amazing place to come and drink coffee, meet with friends or co-workers, do a little online work, study and catch up on that long overdue homework, or just find a little peace. With an amazing and friendly staff, you cant go wrong. I come here pretty much on a daily basis.

A great place in Wenatchee. Could use a solid vegan item or two on the menu, but usually something in the case. Very friendly, the coffee is good, and the space and location are ideal.

Amazing breakfast options. Even the grab and go burritos are delicious. Sometimes too much potato but still great! Coffee is da bomb. I recommend buying whole beans from them. I usually get them as gifts from people. I just wishI could buy it everyday!

PLEASE READ: Absolutely ignore the couple negative google reviews Mela has somehow received until you go there yourself. Its the perfect place in Wenatchee to hang out, visit with friends, grab some fresh, local, AMAZING coffee, or even grab a bite to eat. Caffe Mela pretty much is Wenatchee. Check it out. Now.

Great place. Very beautiful. However my family and I were rudely treated. Weve never been to Cafe Mela so we didnt know what was good or not. Still this is not a reason for you to tell us to hurry up because 2 other people showed up. Thanks a lot.

Review №74

Quite possibly the best breakfast sandwhich I have ever eaten.I had the ham sandwhich and it comes with grilled onions that have a delicious smokey and sweet flavor that is then perfectly contrasted by a basil aioli. If I lived in Wenatchee I would find every chance that I had to be at this cafe for the sandwhich alone, but on top of this they made me a delicious lavendar latté as well.If this coffee shop was located in Seattle, Portland, or San Francisco it would be the best coffee shop in any of those cities.

Review №75

I have given Mela chance after chance to impress me and im sad to say that I just havent been impressed, I do not care for their coffee and the atmosphere there makes me feel like I dont belong, its dark, I never seem to be satisfied with my drinks, I do not care for the taste of their espresso and for the rep they get I just have not been impressed. However, their baked goods are delicious! a little pricey but worth it. If there was competition in Wenatchee that had a welcoming atmosphere for everyone Id be there!

Review №76

I love a great coffee joint where the ambiant noise of the the bean grinder is cut with the trill of a jazz tune or poppy vocals of an indie band. This place has all the atmosphere you need to relax with a hot chocolate or chat over a bold Americano. And dont overlook the food menu. I had the grilled breakfast burrito and it was truly a surprise. Not that I had doubts. Some places you can tell they put their emphasis on the coffee and the food is an afterthought. Not here. Do yourself a favor and get the burrito. Youll thank me. 😉

Locally owned and operated coffee roasters and coffee house? For the win!! Prices are in line with most corporate stores with a lounge and service is adequate. Go local!

I am visiting Wenatchee for the first time, and I have to say this beats anywhere Ive been in Seattleby far. Super friendly atmosphere. Ive been a manager at a Starbucks for a long time and Im not easily impressed in coffee places. Rachael (spelling?) went above and beyond with genuine kindness and customer service, but beyond that was the drink suggestion. I said surprise me, I like coffee and sweet things. She came up with something right away with her own special twist, and I have to say it was really good.P.S. - The foam art is greatThanks so much!
