Melriches Coffeehouse

Great coffee great atmosphere great people.....its really great....no actually make that excellent :

This is a coffee house located on Davie, near Bute. In addition to various drinks, they have a pretty large menu of sandwiches and other breakfast/lunch items, as well as pastries and other items, which look homemade/rustic. I had their Blueberry Cheesecake, Sausage Roll and Carrot Cake. In general, the food was fairly enjoyable, but nothing outstanding. I don't know the individual prices of the items (they didn't have prices posted), but the total came to just over $16, which is fairly reasonable. This is certainly worth a visit if you're in the neighbourhood.<br/ <br/ Blueberry Cheesecake<br/ 3.5/5<br/ The cheesecake was served with blueberry sauce. The filling was dense and very firm; I like my cheesecakes to be on the firmer side, but this was a bit too much even for me (I could hardly cut through it with my fork). It was sweet; I would have liked there to be a bit more tang. It had a nice fragrance; I think that there might have been some cinnamon or other spices in the crust. The blueberry sauce appears to be homemade and was filled with small berries.<br/ <br/ Sausage Roll<br/ 3.5/5<br/ The pastry enclosing the sausage was a bit soft, but flakey; I did find it to be too salty however (and I actually like salt). The sausage itself was quite tender and juicy, with a nice bit of spice.<br/ <br/ Carrot Cake<br/ 4/5<br/ The cake itself was quite moist, contained raisins, and had a great fragrance of spice. The cream cheese frosting was creamy and sweet, with a nice bit of tanginess.<br/ <br/ Summary<br/ Food: 3.5/5<br/ Price: 3.5/5<br/ Service: N/A<br/ Overall: 3.5/5<br/ Recommendations: Carrot Cake

Coziest coffee house on davie? Perhaps... I love the all day breakfast menu, vancouver needs more! I had the breakfast croissant, it had a layer of black forrest ham, topped with 2 scrambled eggs some tomatoes and a ridiculous amount of cheddar cheese. It came with a side of hot sauce which was nice, and for 6.25 you cant complain. The coffee here is pretty good too. Well done coffee house, well done.

Best breakfast sandwich in the Lower Mainland.. Not much more to say, really. It's an excellent breakfast sandwich (scrambled egg, ham, cheese and veggies, served on delicious sourdough toast), it's served with a small container of really good hot sauce for dipping, and this is pretty much the best place in Vancouver to settle down for an hour with a newspaper, a cup of coffee and of course the sandwich. In the heart of one of Vancouver's more vibrant gay villages, so if you're particularly comfortable in that milieu, so much the better.

Melriches is a good place for not just coffee and other beverage favourites, but also for breakfast, lunch and deserts. I tend to go for the Huevos Rancheros and my partner grabs the Italian Breakfast. Check out their carrot cake, New York style baked cheese cake, sausage rolls and variety of cookies and muffins. Great atmosphere and a local gathering spot. Check it out if your in the neighborhood.
