Cafe con Mel 2228 Western Avenue, Guilderland, NY 12084

"Cafe con mel is a delightful local restaurant specializing in coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and rice bowls. The food is always phenomenal. The staff is a delight and takes the time to get to know their returning customers. The restaurant is located conveniently within the Guilderland Public library and has a cozy and eclectic vibe. They also offer locally made goods and discounted books. Food and drink from the Cafe is welcome in the library as well. We go usually once a week and can't wait for our next trip."

"The employees were extremely friendly. The vibe was nice to sit down and focus for a bit but the music was coming from an employees' phone, so when they were texting it was playing on the speakers, which was distracting and a bit annoying. I got a breakfast sandwich and a coffee. The sandwich was good, just a bit greasy. The coffee was hard to drink, it tasted like the water they made the coffee with was musty. I'd try this place out again but not for a while."

"First time at Cafe Con Mel at the Guilderland Library. It was supposed to be open at 8:30 but they were late arriving to open the Cafe on time by some 20 minutes. The room is quite nice and certainly could be a nice spot to enjoy some coffee and a treat. I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese along with a coffee. The first cup of coffee was simply not hot. The server apologized and made me another which was better. The sandwich was most disappointing though. It was served on a soggy roll that just couldn't hold the egg and meat. It fell apart and became a soggy mess. I know the Cafe only recently opened so I am one who can definitely understand that it takes a bit of time to get the kinks out. I would suggest finding a different type of roll for the sandwiches, maybe playing some soft music at a low volume and serving people who dine in on a plate rather than in a paper bag. I might give it another try in a few months."

"I was in need of a coffee and figured I'd stop in Cafe con Mel because of their drink menu and now I'll be coming back to try out more! The service was really friendly, and the atmosphere was super welcoming - plus they have a lot of merchandise for sale to meet just about any needs! This place is definitely worth checking out, and because they have coffee icecubes they became a top coffee shop for me!"
