Review Nice Cafe - Vancouver Island

Another bakery near my place, Melo Patisserie is a very underrated shop tucked away in Mt. Pleasant area. While space is a bit limited, I love how feminine and flowery their decorations are, with the design changing every few months based on the season/occasions. Service can be a bit slow due to limited staff, but they’ve always been friendly and accomodating to my requests. I’ve rarely heard people recommending their croissants, but it’s definitely one of the best in town. Sadly stocks are quite limited and they don’t even make the double baked ones everyone. Do call them ahead of times if you are planning on getting the almond ($7) or bananuts ($7) croissants. Croissants are always perfectly golden and buttery without being burnt. Their layers are beautiful with nice crisp while still being soft inside. Normally I would always prefer almond croissant, but for me the bananuts is actually the highlight from Melo. The banana, hazelnut, and chocolate make such a nice flavour combination. The almond croissant is also excellent, with generous almond on top and just the right amount of filling. The paste inside was also not too sweet yet rich with almond paste.

Nice little cafe with delicious pastries and cookies located near Main. It has a little bit of a Parisian feel to it as the outdoor seating is nice. It’s near the alley where the dumpsters are, so be careful where you sit. The cookies and beverages are delicious, a bit pricey though. Overall, a cool little spot to visit or if you’re in the mood for some dessert. If you dine in, they will heat up the cookies and pastries for you.

Lovely little neighborhood patisserie. The decor is tasteful, classy and pleasing. Nice seating arrangement both inside and outside. It's the perfect place for a coffee, light meal or dessert, or all three. The staff are very pleasant and take time to explain the menu courteously. The service is excellent. Lots of great desserts and take home goodies. The quality of the coffee, tea, sandwich, quiche and desserts we had there today was excellent. Everything tasted delicious, including the sandwiches and salad. Our first time here, but we'll be back again for sure. It does deserve a full 5 star rating!

We enjoy checking out patisseries in the city and have been wanting to visit Melo for a while. We really enjoyed their coffee and hazelnut banana crossiant. We loved their decor and ambience too. The gentleman who served us was so kind and friendly. Melo will definitely be our go-to place on a nice Sunday :)

Absolutely fantastic almond croissant! It was super flaky slightly with a slight crunch on the outside and perfectly light and fluffy inside. The almond filling was creamy and the perfect amount (not to much but not to little!) and the topping was phenomenal! Service is wonderful and the cafe itself is super elegant and well lit. I will definitely be returning!

THE BEST CROISSANTS AND PASTRIES IN METRO VANCOUVER!!!! I’ve had croissants in Paris and I can promise you these are some of the best you can get in North America. Melo uses high quality butter with low moisture content to give you a flakey butter croissant with beautiful airy crumb structure in the middle. Enjoy with some Earl Grey tea. The atmosphere is simple one of the best in the city. A broad breakfast and lunch menu too. The espresso, coffee, and teas are top notch. And so are the amazing and delicious pastries. My husband and I come here at least 3 times a week. You’ll be hooked once you’ve tried Melo Patisserie.

I stumbled upon this stunning French pastry cafe while walking my dog, and it's a must-visit! Nestled in the heart of Mount Pleasant, this charming spot offers tasty pastries and drinks. Their iced chai latte is an absolute masterpiece – perfectly balanced and utterly delicious. What's more, the prices are great, making it a delightful treat that won't break the bank. Despite the limited outside seating, the ambiance is perfect – cozy and inviting. Soak in the atmosphere and savor every bite in this charming spot. Don't miss out on this hidden treasure, it's a treat for your taste buds and your senses! 🥐🍵 #HiddenGems #MountPleasantCafe #MeloPatisserie

We had such a great experience, from ordering to receiving the finished cake. The staff there were so nice and accommodating. But most of all, the cake itself was delicious. For such quality, their products are very reasonably priced. This bakery will definitely be our go-to spot for all our future cake needs!

Pretty fantastic. Jumped straight to the top of my favourite patisseries in Vancouver. The Choco Melo and the Chocolate Trio, both gluten free, we so delicate and delicious. The Financier tasted fresh and was great. Cappuccinos were also great, with a thick milk foam layer.

The best cafe in town. Super friendly owner, Melo is always making us feel welcomed and happy to be in his Patisserie for any celebration 😊 The pastries and mini colorful and tasty cakes are always fresh. 👌 Thank you for keeping your business open and running successfully, specifically on late Sundays.

My husband ordered Passion Fruit Ganache cake with hazelnut for my birthday. The cake was extremely delicious and I fell in love with the cake even before I ate it as the cake looked prefect and so beautiful. Special thank to the chef as he took Tim ego understand my birthday cake expectations and he assured my husband that I will love the cake and I won’t deny it. It was Layers of chocolate sponge, passion fruit ganache filling and milk chocolate mousse. The cake is coated in a smooth chocolate glaze and crispy hazelnut flakes. Its light, melting texture and creamy flavour. So true to their description of the cake. Thank you chef for making my birthday memorable as after birthday girl it is the birthday cake that gets the lime light.

Melo rocks! My wife and I are regulars and we absolutely love the food and beverages that Melo serves! Most recently, we asked Melo to make our wedding cake, which turned out to be extremely delicious! Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable with the cake that you made. We highly recommend Melo as a caterer for any event!

I tried this place today for the first time and got impressed by how they think in every single detail, they have fresh flowers around, the china is beautiful, and the desserts have a touch of delicacy. We felt welcomed since the beginning, all staff are friendly the owner tried to manage our big group of friends, to seat altogether, as much as possible. Everything didn't only looked delicious, but was actually delightful. I will come back to try the other desserts for sure. I recommend bringing your guests who are visiting the city, no mistake, especially if they like instagrammable places.

Great little cafe with amazing character. Baked goods were amazingly tasty, and they were delightful to look at. They have various drink menu options, as well as bakery menus. The place might seem small, but they have some outdoor seating if the weather is nice. If you are in Mt. Pleasant area, we must visit this cafe!

Lovely place, I was surprised of good baked good, croissants was delicious. I haven’t chance to try coffee, but will come back for it.

This Patisserie truly deserves a 5 star. From the cutlery, friendly service, delectable desserts, just amazing. I felt like I was in France. Almond croissant is a must try. Only thing is that the Quiche was very subpar, but everything else we had was good nonetheless. Server gave us the wrong order and quickly fixed it with no fuss, really appreciated that. Seating is small and limited to one hour, so plan accordingly. We will definitely be back!

Hands down, it is the best bakery in Vancouver. I’m so glad I found this amazing cafe! The croissants are perfect, even though we went there around 1pm which is quite late for croissants, usually I found croissants are only good when it’s freshly baked. The croissants were very flavourful and airy which was perfect. I assume they bake croissants freshly whenever they are running low on them. So customers can have good quality baked goods. Since the “pain au chocolat” had nicely melted chocolate inside, not the hard firm chocolate. I was so impressedddd!🤎 And the vibe of the cafe reminds me of Paris with all the chairs and tables outside. It’s also quite interesting to have iced coffee in the wine glass. Price was very reasonable and service was simply nice. I will definitely go back and be a regular for sure😂

A hidden gem discovered on our walk, that is open late on an evening. Delicious desserts, great service, and cute decor. Looking forward to coming back and trying their coffee and breakfast!

Excellent French bakery. The croissants were really good. I also had the chocolate chip cookie, which while not traditional (wasn't chewy) was still one of the best cookies I've had. Their hot chocolate was also quite good; a bit sweeter than I would have liked, but had a rich chocolate flavor that you don't always get with hot chocolates you get from other places.

He food is okay but the service was terrible. Screwed up my order 3x and only gave me a 10% discount. A decent restaurant would comp the meal.

Been going to Nice for 14 yrs! Friendly staff! Tasty comfort foods! Espresso n desserts! One of Mount Pleasant's best breakfasts! Reasonable prices!

The best hash brown in town best breakfast in town. Friendly, brightly happy atmosphere.

The food was bland not enough flavor. Salt and pepper helped a little poached egg had jello whites

Delicious food, limited seating so be prepared to wait for a table on the weekends.

Got the steak and eggs today...it was the bees knees!

Was a great experience
