We opened our first cafe in 2013 with the mission of offering specialty coffee in a warm and inclusive environment.
During our expansion, we quickly understood that as a company, our central commitment was to our employees. It is with them and thanks to them that everything else is possible.
Reviews describe MELK Café as a place with excellent coffee and pastries, a cozy interior, and a friendly, approachable staff, making it a popular spot for studying or catching up with friends. Many praise the consistency of drinks and baked goods, including muffins and scones, while noting that prices can be a bit high. The café can feel busy due to limited seating and a lively atmosphere, which some patrons enjoy and others find overwhelming. A recurring observation is a shift toward a coworking vibe on weekends, prompting some to call for more laptop free hours to preserve the cafe experience. It remains a favorite for coffee lovers despite occasional noise and a few service quirks.
5. Great spot with lots of delicious treats & seasonal specials. Good mix of tables & booths & lots of folks working as well as socializing. Many options for coffee, tea, & matcha- & a variety of alternative milks. Really loved the iced chai! The baked goods were great- they had 2 types of savory scones which is rare, & wonderful! Not many vegan baked goods available. Friendly staff & nice space.

It is really cozy european coffee place. A lot of options & nice options for milk alternative. It is really busy it is not guaranted the place to sit. There is free water to drink that is such a great thing because coffee dehydrates. The stuff is kind & smiley. Thank you
Great atmosphere & good coffee, the food options are a bit stuck in the middle of healthy cafe or quick "healthy" snacks . They have some good items but the variety isn't the best .
There is not always space to sit & enjoy your coffee. We usually get it to go. The everything bagel scone is the best savoury scone & I highly recommend.
Been coming here for years & drink quality has gone down significantly over the past year. It used to be the coffee would be very acidic when hot, then cool down & become more flavorful. Now the acidity & bitterness continue increasing as the drink cools.
Cute lil café with lots of beverages & snacks! I got a large hot chocolate with dark chocolate & marshmallow, & it tasted very good! Very busy on a Saturday morning, but they serve your drink quite quickly, & they fill it to the brim (I had to drink a few sips before I took my photo, otherwise it would've spilt). Hot chocolate with tip was 6.54$ :)
