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!
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.
Mango smoothie was literally just plain shaved ice. Good service though!
Beautiful place, clean. Great food, coffee and a friendly service.
Incredible smoothies and burritos, It’s a little pricey but completely worth it.
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 coffee!!! Menu was smaller than posted online but still met our needs
Love the location, coffee is great, and the staff are good people. Always like going in. Besides coffee I like getting a bottle of Lavender Dry.
My favorite coffee place in Wenatchee. Service is superb and coffee quality is great. Not much cheap at all but hey you get what you pay for.
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.
I had an amazing coffee and me and my daughter shared one of their turkey wraps and a scone. Both were delicious. The barista was super sweet and engaging. Love it!
Great coffee. Thank you Christina!
Beautifully designed space in a convenient location, friendly staff. Had a dirty Chai latte and it was excellent.
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.
Hands down best coffee !
Good coffee, not a lot of variety but whatever they offer is good. I wish they had more food selection instead of wine, but still will come back for sure.
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!
Coffee tasted like charcoal, matcha tasted like grass clippings and wayyyy over priced:/
Great service, great people
I enjoy the coffee and ambience here.
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.
Apart from the great coffee, my son spilled his drink in there and the barista was so gracious with us about it. Such great customer service!
Best nitro infused cold brew coffee on tap!
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.
Always amazing service and coffee! If you haven’t had the chance to have breakfast or lunch, I highly recommend it! Very laidback atmosphere, great place to have meetings.
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!
Good selection of whole bean coffee and excellent customer service from the young lady assisting us.
The coffee was very good. Loved my latte!
Great service, clean, great cookies and other food when offered.
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.
Great coffee and food! Love their sausage breakfast burritos. Customer service is spotty. Sometimes friendly and other times not as much. Nice place to sit outside and enjoy coffee.
Had an almond milk mocha and a berry white chocolate scone. Great ambience as well.
Fantastic coffee house! I love their vanilla green tea lattes! Id much rather go here than Starbucks. They are a tad pricey, but the quality makes it worth it!
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.
Excellent food, coffee, and service...not to mention a great friendly atmosphere..highly recommend it to people looking for a great coffee shop.
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.
It is the best place to get coffee and the people there are so nice. it is calm relaxed and not formal in a good way. you can be your self and everyone will love you!! they make you feel important! Thank you Mela for your amazing service!!!
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 food good coffee better hard ciders
Great atmosphere and a place that many locals use as a meeting spot. Great espresso and some limited, but good food options. Try the biscuit breakfast sliders.
Amazing coffee, delicious, my wife and both ordered iced Americans who room, and the flavor that came through was astounding. I was referred to Melas by a friend and we were not disappointed. Next time I drive through Wenatchee I will be stopping here and ordering an iced or over, cant wait
The food is delicious. I had a breakfast burrito with bacon and joined with a matcha latte. It was sooo yummmy🤤
The barista was amazing! She was open to custom orders and super kind and upbeat. The variety of coffee, tea, flavors, and kombucha was fantastic!
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.
Beautiful atmosphere. Friendly service. Great coffee.
Good breakfast. Good espresso. Take it for there. Drinking out of a mug is much better. Good selection of tea. Scones are beautiful.
Had a fresh breakfast burrito it was fantastic yall got to try this one yummy !!! Conversation was a five-star too. Thank you Brenda Pickering from MetLife Insurance for a meeting up with me. Your So fun and informative. Appreciate your help :)
Coffee was good and service was amazing. Would love to visit again.
Nice place to sit and enjoy well made coffee. Very friendly counter staff. Small menu of fresh cooked breakfast and lunch items served on real plates with silverware. Handy location downtown.
A great atmosphere!Excellent service at the counter.I love their coffee and hot chocolate!
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.
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!
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!
Very nice place with a relaxing atmosphere. They roast their own coffee beans, and the quality shows. They also offer some DELICIOUS breakfast items (try the sausage sandwich!)
Excellent coffee and welcoming atmosphere.
Good coffee, small selection of tasty pastries/treats, and a good ambiance. Great place to hang out for a while or meet with a friend. Their breakfast menu looked really good, though I didnt try anything from the menu this time.
Good local spot with great coffee and breakfast bites.
Fantastic single origin beans. Breakfast menu is solid. All the baristas are knowledgeable and skillful
Awesome food! Atmosphere was great, not too loud even though it was busy. Wait staff was nice and polite, and I will definitely be returning!
Sunshine latte is the sunshine!
Very good coffee. Reminds me of a Portland coffee shop right in the middle of downtown Wenatchee. Will definitely be back every time I come back into town.
So good, I love it. Deffinitly go there if you can. Cant even say how much I love this place. Smoothys are definitely recommend.
Espresso drinks are pretty good, custom roasted drip coffee is the bomb. Breakfast dishes are wonderful as well.
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!
Good food and coffee. Fast service.
Great coffee and pastries. Atmosphere is nice too.
Our place to gather with friends after church most Sundays. Coffee is good. Atmosphere is welcoming and they let us move the tables around to fit whatever size group we have that day.
My husband and I ordered breakfast (Burrito and combo slider) everything was good especially the Chipotle sauce.Coffee was ok.
Good coffee and atmosphere. Would be a superb place if only the hours were better!
Nice place and friendly staff. While the espresso drinks I have had here were good, todays drip is ass. Not even worth finishing. Stick to the espresso from now on.
Fabulous fresh ground coffee and lovely cool cafe. Great friendly staff.
Great coffee and service, and decent food as well. Breakfasts are excellent.
My favorite place to sit down and conversate over an excellent cup of Java!
A charming place to study or have a meeting. Good customer service...
Really glad they serve breakfast! The biscuit sliders were pretty good. The drip coffee (black) was really good. Great, friendly staff.
Came into town from Portland and was very pleased to find this wonderful coffee shop! My grandpa would have loved this is he was still around.
