Mello Velo Bicycle Shop Cafe - Syracuse

Every time I go and try a different menu item, I’m continuously more impressed with the quality and the flavors. And then they added the Sunday Brunch menu. Especially their hollandaise sauce. Extremely well done!

The vegan items are marked in the menu. we had the beet hummus plate, the non mi salad with tempeh, and the pesto tofu scramble. all were delicious, especially the beet hummus, because there is an improvement over the simple hummus they receive in most restaurants. the accompanying Pita chips were fantastic! they give them the opportunity to add everything on the menu, which is beautiful because the tempeh is delicious. update: they added a new peaceful mushroom sandwich to the menu that can be made vegan on request. it was outstanding.

Takeout options are limited nowadays, but thanks to melo velo my birthday was saved! I was introduced into the family meal via a vegan group. there were two vegan options for the entree and three vegan options for the two sides included. we added on the additional page so we can try them all! the risotto was underdonated, but taste was good. the loaded sweet potatoes really loved! fast, free delivery and it was affordable to start with! this place has definitely made its way to our lists! can not wait to taste the vegan chocolate peanut butter cheesecake!

With 3 non-Bierns, who enjoyed all their burgers. my train Mi-sandwich leaned well. the since then was packed in large cubic shapes in sandwich and slipped out of the floor. it had some Jalopena peppers. 3 or 4 vegan options marked clearly on the menu.

I absolutely love the interior decorating and the thought that went into the design of the cafe. The menu has clearly labeled vegan options and the staff is very friendly. While the food is good (and prepared to order using local ingredients when possible), I have found the consistency in the kitchen to be lacking. Each time I've returned and ordered the same dish that I've had on a previous visit, it tastes different and generally the texture is different, too. Tonight I ordered the Mandarin Orange Crispy Glazed Tofu. The crispy was right on the edge of too much (any more and it would have tasted burnt) and the bok choy listed on the menu as part of the dish was substituted for broccoli without the staff saying anything before the entree came out. It was still good, but it's a little disheartening to know that something you really enjoyed (as I enjoyed this dish in June 2019) might not be as good the next time you come back. This has happened to me with multiple dishes on multiple visits since the café opened.
