★★★★★ 5.0 Isabelle Crespo · Dec 2025

Jennifer was the best server! The food was delicious. You get a huge portion size for your $$. I definitely recommend coming here for breakfast, or lunch! We got the limited edition crème brulle French toast, it was so good, and not overly sweet. I also love the portion size on the breakfast bowl! It’s almost as if you’re getting two servings!

★★★★★ 5.0 Sonia Martinez · Jul 2025

Each time we visit Chicago we love having breakfast here. The staff are very welcoming and attentive. The food is made fresh and service is quick. The coffee...the best! Prices are good compared to other breakfast restaurants. The atmosphere is relaxing with good background music. We will continue having breakfast here while staying in Downtown area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Caleb Kramer · Sep 2025

This spot is a go-to for a fresh and filling breakfast or brunch. The menu is full of tasty options, from egg dishes and waffles to lighter plates with plenty of flavor. The atmosphere feels bright and welcoming, and the service is attentive without being rushed. It’s an easy place to enjoy a relaxed meal any time of day.

We went there for brunch and the menu was really great, they have a lot of options and the food tastes amazing! Portions are very large thought, you have to keep that in mind when ordering.

My son and I came to Meli's for breakfast during a weekend trip to the city. I discovered the restaurant because I'd Google searched for breakfast spots near our hotel, and I'm so glad we chose it! The staff were all very friendly, service was fast and the food was great. I got a chicken chorizo bowl that was delicious with a pepper Mary to drink and my son really enjoyed his chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. I would absolutely choose Meli again for a meal!
