Meli Cafe

Upscale all day breakfast and lunch cafe, very attentive staff and bar. Several vegan options like pancakes and scrambled tofu. Outdoor seating is nice, no parking but just a couple minute walk off of the Brown, Pink, Blue, Red, Purple and Orange L at the Harold Washington Library.

breakfast tacos , blueberry French toast both fantastic. reasonably priced place. great food. efficient. friendly service. They accommodated our stroller, no problem. Really loved this restaurant!

My girlfriend and I booked a last minute reservation tonight. We were happy to be able to get in and sat about 10 minutes early for our reservation. Unfortunately due to a mix up our meal came out very late, but the staff was extremely apologetic and even provided us with an extra side and dessert on the house! The food was amazing and very filling. We would completely go back again on another occasion!

My Boyfriend took me there for Valentine's day, and I was so romantic! Candle lit dinner, with flowers on the table. Our food was great! It was our first time in Chicago.

Good breakfast place with fast table service for a reasonable price. If you judge a restaurant by its coffee quality, Meli gets lower marks. If you dine by the window you see the hustle and bustle of the city. Not bad for people watching. During the week it never seems very busy, which makes it great place to meet for a business breakfast, the sound level low enough to have an engaging conversation. I frequently dine at this place because of value, and get myself a proper cup of coffee elsewhere.
