Highly recommend! Meli cafe Pancake House is clean, hospitable and the food is delicious. I have never had a bad meal here ever. The service is always accommodating and friendly. You can feel a sense of their appreciation for stopping in. As with all breakfast places (it seems), weekends are busy no doubt, but if you don’t mind somewhat of a wait, you will not be disappointed. Thanks again, Meli, for a fantastic experience

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday with my sister. I had the bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, and mini waffles 🧇. Everything was perfect. I loved the mini waffles because they were the perfect size and very light and crispy. Our server was friendly and there was someone else walking around to tables ensuring everyone was enjoying their meals. There is a reason the parking lot is full but we were seated immediately and our meals did not take long.

Nice good sized restaurant with large menu. Staff was very nice and efficient. Had breakfast which was both plentiful and quick. Coffee refills were often and pretty good. Highly recommend the corned beef hash, 2 eggs, hash browns and pancake meal. We sat there for quite a while and never felt rushed.

Huevos Rancheros....very good.....Presentation was OK. Pancakes? WOW! Huge and tasty. One order will feed two easily. The Benedict items we ordered came out very hard boiled, but they offered to redo with moderate success. This place is hopping. Our server was knocking it out and everywhere. Really efficient but constantly tossing loaded dishes on the table (NOISY). Great food. Efficient but unpolished hardworking server. Still....worth a visit. Owner cares.

Decent breakfast but very close tables made it hard to converse. Food was good but had to ask for items that I wouldn't have know about if my neighbor hadn't told me everything that was included. Our waitress was rushed and didn't give us the complimentary donuts up front -- etc. Disappointing. Haven't been back - wasn't worth it.

Meli Cafe is known for its delicious breakfasts, so being in the motel next door... we had to try it and find out. We were not disappointed!
The people there were very friendly, the choices were many, the prices were reasonable, the portions were huge, and the food was delicious!
We will definitely go back the next time we're there!!
They are only open from

First off, really have to say how clean this restaurant is! The address is Mt. Pleasant, not Racine.
The staff was very nice and accommodating, too. Made for an even more enjoyable solo visit.
I ordered the 2 eggs (your way) with hash browns, no toast, but with a side of bacon and the 3 crepe breakfasts.
They brought me 2 “Greek” style donuts with my coffee first. The rest of the food came out very tasty and as I ordered.
I highly recommend this place.
I will definitely go back, when I’m in the area again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast at Meli’s. Meli has a huge menu with a great selection of eggs, scramblers, and Benedicts. The pancakes are huge as well with two different sizes.
Highly recommend!

One of our favorite breakfast or brunch spots in town that is locally run. The food is always delicious with super generous servings (enough to take home for another meal).

Waitress was very nice, very thoughtful. Food was good. But the place could use a little cleaning up. Waitress was the only person to show kindness.

We found Meli Cafe by chance and were so impressed with the excellent service and the breakfast food. Portions were large (my husband and I could have shared and omelet platter) and delicious. Definitely would recommend
