For my money, MELD is WAY better than Panera Bread and a lot of other cafés that offer a similar ambience and menu.
Note: The place can be a little easy to miss from the road. For reference, it is part of the apartment complex building.
The dining room is a little cozy when it's busy, but the environment is modern, bright, and simple - really pleasant. Nice outside seating too.
The menu is fantastic - there are so many things that sound so good! And then there's the food itself which is SO FRESH and the flavors left me feeling so happy and full!
Highly, HIGHLY recommend! 👍👍

Had a fantastic turkey bacon sandwich here. The prices are a lot more reasonable than I was expecting based on the atmosphere when walking in. This restaurant is sort of part of the apartment complex so don't let that confuse you when trying to find it.

Met a friend at MELD for a late lunch, it's a great location- tucked off in a corner of an apartment complex. Loved their menu, very easy on the eyes and almost everything sounds really good. A whole section of sweet potato entrees, which I'm sure is appealing to many folks watching the bread. The interior is clean and pottery- barnish, not too bright- easy to converse. Our food was outstanding, fresh and hot and filled the plate. I had the spinach and chicken sandwich and my friend had the spicy chicken sweet potato. My only hold back for 5 stars on food is that there was no inkling of artichokes or caramelized onions on the sandwich. It's also described as having balsamic reduction, but it was only balsamic vinegar. I can tell because as soon as you pick up the sandwich. The balsamic all drips off the spinach. So it was fresh, hot and tasty but not necessarily as described. It's not a $5 sandwich either. Chips were incredible! I'd definitely go back, and I forgot to mention- the service was spectacular!

MELD kitchen and sandwich bar is a good restaurant with a good variety of sandwich, burger, and even taco options. I tried the pesto grilled cheese which came with chips and tomato basil soup. The grilled cheese was good (but had a lot of oil/butter, so likely not a healthy option) and unfortunately the tomato basil soup was a bit too salty. The special drink was blackberry lavender tea, which unfortunately did not taste like lavender (it had a faint taste of cinnamon instead) but the staff was friendly and swapped it out for regular iced tea.
