Mello Velo Bicycle Shop

Had dinner here last night (8/10/18). Food and vibe was excellent with a wonderful staff to boot. Wife and I ordered the Mac n cheese to share as an app. It was perfect. Not too heavy, great flavor. She ordered a sandwich w bacon and pear and I got the bahn mi. It was all delicious. The bahn mi was a touch soggy on the bottom, it was the only criticism I have of the whole place. Going back for sure. Wonderful dinner, so glad we stopped here. Fix the wet bottom bread on the bahn mi and I will order one on the regular.

I made the mistake of trying to buy two items they had “in stock” on their online store with the intent of picking them up the same day or the day after. After talking to them twice on the phone and once in person at their store I received one of the items but never got refunded for the other item even though I was promised twice I would. I ended up just buying what I needed on Ebay and cut my losses realizing it wasn’t worth my time to ask them again to refund me. 18 days after I paid for the items I received notification that they were ready to be picked up, even though I had already picked the one part up. By the time I had received the notification my bike was repaired and it wasn’t worth my time to deal with them. again.

Cafe/bar/eatery inside of a bike shop. Cool specialized concept. I came for the coffee and pastries and my review is based on that: - friendly service - hipster vibe - spacious indoor and quaint outdoor seating - cold brew was pretty good . 👍🏽 - pastry (apple walnut muffin) did not taste fresh (tasted refrigerated and sitting there for a few days) - average pricing Would come back for coffee, not for pastries

Mello Velo is a one-of-a-kind in Syracuse. Their food selection is unique, their coffee is very good and their beer selection is updated regularly with local and popular options. If you go for breakfast, try an oat milk late and for food: any of the options that include potatoes. Those roasted potatoes are some of the best I've ever had. Recently, I had a pesto tofu plate that was pretty good, but had too many onions for my taste. For lunch, their sandwiches are interesting pairings of flavors and toppings. Highly recommend ordering one and a smoothie. Only negative note that I have is about the wait. Whenever I go I need to make sure I have a full hour or more. I understand and I'm not mad, but the wait is a little long to get your food.

Great selection of brews and even better menu. The grain bowl with lamb meatballs was a great mix of traditional grains and roasted veggies. Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese was absolutely delicious.Some excellent comfort food. Service was prompt and friendly. Breakfast is served all day and a great vegan selection.

I had been wanting to visit Mello Vello for quite some time and finally found an afternoon to taste the amazing food at the cafe. EVERYTHING was delicious!! The Blueberry BasilMargarita was so smooth and refreshing. The Ham u0026 Pear Quesadilla was filled with flavor, warm and sweetness with a kick of savory in every bite. My husband had the High Wheeler. He devoured every bite. Bold but subtle cajun-spice with a balance of cheddar and bacon to calm the the spicy chicken. The Hummingbird cake is a must have for those who enjoy a balance of banana spice cake with a cream cheese frost so smooth you will want another piece. Every bite had a note of pineapple and coconut. Makes you feel like you're away in the Caribbean. Can't wait to go back and try something new!

Saved my day! I blew through town on a busted tire. Got me fixed up and running in 25 minutes. Then did a hundred miles to Rochester without any issues! Highly recommend, they know what they are doing hands down! Amazing selection and nice customer service / store

Love this place for lunch! Hearty and flavorful vegetarian and/or vegan options which is sometimes a hard thing to execute. The vegan breakfast sandwich was not too dry either, which is another common problem I run into with vegan meat substitution when I’m dining out. The star of the show was the fried Brussels u0026 halloumi dish, packed with good seasoning and the Brussel sprouts are excellently crispy. Cafe has an impressive selection of different drinks to choose, from coffee, to tea, even smoothies and also wine, beer and cocktails! Quick and friendly service as well, what a nice little spot!
