"Opened six years ago, Melo has built a strong following with its popular brunch and friendly staff, leading to an inevitable wait on weekends. Owner and pastry chef Anna Gueye Diagne brings in customers with appetizing baked goods like lemon pie and Oreo cheesecake, but there are plenty of savory items as well, including breakfast tacos, kebabs of tender and juicy roasted lamb, and vegan salads. Vintage touches like chandeliers and colorful velvet armchairs contribute a cozy feeling to the whole affair." - Yasmine Fofana
