Brasserie Melrose

Wow! I’m always on the lookout for the best croissant. Once we heard there was a new brasserie not too far away, couldn’t resist checking it out and Brasserie Melrose did not disappoint in the least! Super cute spot on the corner of 7th Ave. Great ambience, get your pastries and order your coffee downstairs and then head upstairs where we sat outside in the sun on the patio. It really couldn’t have been a better vibe. I can imagine having lunch of dinner up here would be perfection. Chocolate croissant, butter croissant, cappuccino, and a Parisian latte. All of it was exceptional. My other favorite pastries in the Valley are Essence and Chaccone, and this is right there. Truly. The latte was one of the best I’ve had in a long time and I will be back for another soon. The service was frie

My husband and I stopped in for a quick bite and coffee, and we were so glad we did. It’s such a quaint, charming little shop, and the subtle holiday décor made it feel really cozy without being over the top. The potato Parmesan pastry was the star of the show - truly the best savory pastry either of us has ever had. We also tried the pumpkin spice, cardamom citrus, and lemon curd pastries, and they were all incredible: super flaky, beautifully made, and full of flavor. My husband ordered a hot chocolate with a couple shots of espresso added (amazing), and I tried the sparkling lemonade and espresso drink. I know it sounds unusual, but it was so refreshing and actually brought out these bright, minty notes in the coffee. Such a fun surprise. We wandered upstairs and were blown away by h

Talk about attention to detail in every aspect. The above and beyond service started the moment we had to drive around the building only to discover there were only 4 parking spots in the rear of the building. The hostess came outside to let us know were to park. Everyone was very friendly and helpful through our dining. We had a lovely French 75, latte, lobster salad, steak friets, and ended with a beautiful pain au chocolat for desert. All around supurb!

​If you’re looking for an authentic brasserie experience, this is it. We stopped in and every single dish was a knockout. ​The Highlights: ​French Onion Soup: Perfectly caramelized with a deep, rich broth and that essential, gooey cheese crust. It’s a hug in a bowl. ​Charcuterie Sampler: A fantastic variety of meats and accompaniments. It’s the perfect social starter. ​Niçoise Salad: Fresh, bright, and beautifully composed. A great balance to the richer dishes. ​Hot Chocolate: Do not skip this! It’s thick, decadent, and felt like a true dessert rather than just a drink. ​Brasserie Melrose has definitely earned its spot as a local favorite. I’ll be back for the atmosphere alone, but I’m staying for that soup! ​Pro Tip: Next time, get the baguette, save a piece specifically for the leftover

If you love trying new coffee shops or just love great food, you must check out the new Brasserie Melrose. Everything we had here was delicious, and made with care. The staff was excellent and friendly. We will be back!
