This is easily the NOISIEST coffee shop in Vancouver. If you’re looking for the normal noises of a coffee shop, you won’t find them here. It’s fairly dirty. The interior of this coffee shop hasn’t changed in 30 years.
This is a coffee house located on Davie, near Bute. In addition to various drinks, they have a pretty large menu of sandwiches and other breakfast/lunch items, as well as pastries and other items, which look homemade/rustic. I had their Blueberry Cheesecake, Sausage Roll and Carrot Cake. In general, the food was fairly enjoyable, but nothing outstanding. I don’t know the individual prices of the items (they didn’t have prices posted), but the total came to just over $16, which is fairly reasonable. This is certainly worth a visit if you’re in the neighbourhood.Blueberry Cheesecake3.5/5The cheesecake was served with blueberry sauce. The filling was dense and very firm; I like my cheesecakes to be on the firmer side, but this was a bit too much even for me (I could hardly cut through it with my fork). It was sweet; I would have liked there to be a bit more tang. It had a nice fragrance; I think that there might have been some cinnamon or other spices in the crust. The blueberry sauce appears to be homemade and was filled with small berries.Sausage Roll3.5/5The pastry enclosing the sausage was a bit soft, but flakey; I did find it to be too salty however (and I actually like salt). The sausage itself was quite tender and juicy, with a nice bit of spice.Carrot Cake4/5The cake itself was quite moist, contained raisins, and had a great fragrance of spice. The cream cheese frosting was creamy and sweet, with a nice bit of tanginess.SummaryFood: 3.5/5Price: 3.5/5Service: N/AOverall: 3.5/5Recommendations: Carrot Cake
Coziest coffee house on davie? Perhaps… I love the all day breakfast menu, vancouver needs more! I had the breakfast croissant, it had a layer of black forrest ham, topped with 2 scrambled eggs some tomatoes and a ridiculous amount of cheddar cheese. It came with a side of hot sauce which was nice, and for 6.25 you cant complain. The coffee here is pretty good too. Well done coffee house, well done.
Debit card fee. Went in today to buy cinnamon buns. Used my debit card and noticed there was a .25 cent fee. I asked the cashier what that fee was for and she said she did not know. Other guy behind the counter has so much attitude it was crazy. Looks like they are charging their customers for the fee that they must pay to the payment processor. Sorry Mr Melrich but that should be a cost of doing business. Never stepping in that joint again.
Long wait and greasy paninis. I walked into Melriches only because it was busy. Busy must mean that there is something good here, right? Obviously I made the poor choice of ordering a panini, because I waited 27 minutes for food that was already made and sitting in the glass showcase. I understand that the wait was long because it was so busy, but is no way around this? Half an hour for lunch is much too long.The meal itself was slick with grease and reflected light at all corners (see photo). Was it filling? Yes. But I didn’t feel very comfortable eating something layered with oil. Would I return? Probably not.I admit that this review may not be a good reflection of Melriches’ true capabilities, as I did not consume any of their coffee nor specialty drinks. So if you’re going for a drink, don’t accompany it with a Panini of any sort.
Perching and watching. It’s a good place to grab lunch, if you can get one of the coveted seats by the window. Lots happen on the Davie street, so it’s a good place to people watch. Toward the evening, it can get a little noisy as it is next to Score.
Best breakfast sandwich in the Lower Mainland.. Not much more to say, really. It’s an excellent breakfast sandwich (scrambled egg, ham, cheese and veggies, served on delicious sourdough toast), it’s served with a small container of really good hot sauce for dipping, and this is pretty much the best place in Vancouver to settle down for an hour with a newspaper, a cup of coffee and — of course — the sandwich. In the heart of one of Vancouver’s more vibrant gay villages, so if you’re particularly comfortable in that milieu, so much the better.
