Melon & Rye

Had delicious food served on ridiculously small plates. Very friendly and quick service. Great coffee and tea but the decor could do with an update. Nice enough to return though

A new local has opened and we were so excited to give it a try. Ordered the vegan granola which was just so fresh, creamy and full of flavour. The baby cino needs a bit of work as it was very hot but other than that it was delightful. High chairs are available with a little kids area outside. A great spot to stop into after being at the park.

Staff doesn't seem happy to be there, too difficult to crack a smile.
Irregular coffee quality based on who's the barrista, expensive expresso, too long (nearly reaching top of the t/a cup) even after asking for it to be tight and short - slightly better coffee than their only competition, hungry jacks

Excellent food in a lovely light and airy location! We ordered the zucchini fritters and chilli scramble and both were fantastic. We’ll be back here asap!

I have been to Melon & Rye a number of times and I can officially not recommend it. Each time I've purchased food here, the food was tasty, but a very small serving, nowhere near enough for a brunch/breakfast or lunch. Sadly unless the store is able to restore it's image to me, I cannot recommend buying food here.

Coffee: 3/5
Food: 1.5/5

Not too much choices and over prices. We just went there to look around and we couldn't even think about take something. Lovely vibes but quite expensive. And I understand the current global situation which is like how it is.
I would like one day to come back and see more options with more affordable prices.

Thanks for all.

Melon & Rye ticks many of the boxes for a quality experience. There are two interior rooms for indoor dining and a further area out the back for an outdoor experience. Staff offered a pleasant greeting upon arrival and we were able so sit wherever we pleased. In fact the variety of staff were all attentive and efficient.
This visit was an exploratory post hiking coffee venture and we were not disappointed. The coffee was rather hot but had a bold flavour and creamy milk froth. The coffee was one that you would savour with a bun or similar, not something you could gulp down. An almond croissant fit the bill today, and I'd be happy to say that it was the tastiest iteration of its kind that I have experienced!
Food and beverage selections look very good. Possibly the only point off was that it was a tad on the expensive side.

I’ve been eyeing this location off for a while on Instagram and finally got to try this week. My whole experience was lovely, from the moment I was greeted by the lovely barista. I got a classic iced mocha and ham and cheese croissant, and they were both fantastic. I’m a big judge of iced mochas but would certainly get one here again.
My friends food also looked delish! Certainly recommend stopping in here for food and coffee, aswell as for service!

Group of five for lunch here today. Warm and welcoming cafe, generous and delicious food. No food envy. Will be back!

Very pleasant lunch. Delightful staff. Menu healthy choices and inventive. Something new to try food wise. Delightful.

Just a VIBE! Came in really quick this morning for a coffee and i couldn't drink it fast enough! Staff were super nice and welcoming, menu looked impressive aswell.

Amazing breakfast! Bacon and eggs on sourdough with avocado. Cooked and presented with perfection.

And to top it off, coffee was sensational!
One of the best breakfast cafes in adelaide.

Nice eggs Benedict. Welcoming. I went their bit early. They didn’t mind. And serve red us very well.

Nice place for a coffee, fresh juice or smoothie and a bite to eat for lunch. Plenty of room to sit outside too.

Won't bother staff couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge us and didn't seat us, was basically empty.

What a great way to celebrate my birthday. Good food, great service & relaxing atmosphere. We’ll be back soon.

I always love the service and food here. The coffee is the best in Adelaide. The Staff are very friendly!

My wife has been following them on Insta for a while now and was pretty pumped about our visit. We had a fresh out of the oven orange and chocolate muffin (forgot pic!) which was delicious and a New York cheesecake which was equally excellent. Both ordered the cherry ripe hot choccie and it was alright, a bit disappointing tbh but it didn’t spoil the overall experience which was good, opposite a beautiful park and lovely warm service. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

I have visited this deli on many occasions for coffee or lunch and have always found the staff to be helpful & friendly and the coffee and food fresh and delicious, with lots of healthy options. Highly recommended,
