  This hands down was one of THE BEST sandwiches I've ever had! The flavor was such a great and perfect combination of fresh and savory. I had intended to go to a place across the street but they were taking forever to let me take an order bc a dinner rush had just come in. I was getting hangry and so I looked up what was nearby and saw Mellis Cafe and it had even higher reviews than the place I was at. I now know why! You can smell the tasty food from down the corner walking up to it. I had a marinated chicken sandwich on sourdough bread. The baked goods also looked fantastic. I had a chicken empanada as well. The person serving me said they were Algerian. It was my first time having Algerian cuisine if that's so but I NEED to have more!!

  Cheap and cheerful. Delicious and great value for money.
  
  I ordered the egg and cheese bagel with avocado extra. Perfect. The jalapeños in the bagel were a great touch.
  
  I will most certainly be back.

  6 months ago I tried a sandwich here, it was impossibly tasty. I live in an another place, so I couldn’t let go thoughts about the sandwich. Finally after all this time I’ve came back specifically to eat it again and again it was fabulous! Also the owner is so welcome and everyone is co nice! Strongly recommend!!! ❤️❤️❤️

  I visited Mellis Café early on a Sunday morning and was immediately struck by how busy and lively it already was. It’s clearly a popular spot, with a steady stream of customers coming through the door, which usually speaks volumes about a place.
  
  Despite the bustle, the staff were welcoming and efficient when taking orders. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese bagel on a cheese bagel, which came to around $10 — very reasonable by San Francisco standards, where breakfast prices can often be noticeably higher.
  
  Unfortunately, my order seemed to get lost somewhere in the system, which meant I ended up waiting just over 20 minutes for my food. While this was a little frustrating, it was clear that other customers were being served quickly, so it appeared to be an isolated issue rather than a wider service problem.
  
  When the food did arrive, it was well worth the wait. The bagel was fresh and flavourful, with a good balance of fillings that made for a satisfying and tasty breakfast. The quality of the food definitely left a positive impression.
  
  Overall, Mellis Café offers good value for money, tasty breakfast options, and a vibrant atmosphere that shows its popularity with locals and visitors alike. While my wait time was longer than expected, the quality of the food and the generally efficient service mean I would happily return and give it another visit.
