Review by Syble Walsh

Meli Cafe is an absolute gem in downtown Chicago! 🌟 I visited for brunch and was delighted by the cozy, trendy atmosphere. The buttermilk pancakes were thick and fluffy, just how I like them, and the specialty mimosas paired perfectly with my meal.

The service was friendly and efficient, despite the busy Saturday crowd. I also loved the breakfast quesadilla, loaded with flavor and paired with crispy hash browns.

Next time, I can't wait to try the cinnamon apple crepe! A fantastic spot for all-day dining - highly recommend! 🍽️
