Mel’s Tiki Cafe

Nice little spot in Indian Harbour just across from the beach. I went with the Brekky Breakfast Sliders (open face) and they absolutely did not disappoint! Very good! Also tried the You're Bacon Me Crazy waffle, also very solid! Not a place for big parties, but it is nice and cozy.

Tried the make your own breakfast bowl and it was great - I chose sweet potato, plantains, eggs over medium, bacon, onions, and peppers. Everything was fresh. The Hawaiian roll sandwich wasn’t made in-house but still tasted surprisingly fresh, pictured with the egg and seasoned bacon. The kids waffle was huge and the smoothie got zero complaints from the kids. They also had crayons and paper to color. The space was clean, loved the beach vibe, and the staff were friendly. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to.

We’re first time customers and drove an hour to have lunch. Pretty small place, but inviting. We were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. Mels has a different flair of its own that made it a nice change from the usual places to eat. The menu was right up my alley but not so much for my partner who likes a simpler taste. However, we both found dishes we liked and they did not disappoint! Very flavorful and well proportioned and we ended up taking home leftovers. Service was attentive and polite. They were passionate about their establishment and menu. I had the coconut curry bowl with roasted pineapple and it was very delicious! He had the BLTeaky sandwich with home fries. It was well put together and delicious as well. Thank you Mels for a great meal!

Food was amazing. A local hidden gem. Drove by so many times n never saw it. Had breakfast sliders. They were delicious. Their bacon is off the chain. Hunny maple with brown sugar.. damn..

Had a great experience!!!! Food is actually as good as the reviews. Service was very good and attentive. Eggs were fresh. Back is delicious. U definitely need to stop by if you are in Melbourne area. We will be back before we leave Sunday.
