Mello Velo Bicycle Shop Cafe - Syracuse

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.

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 menu clearly marks the vegan options available, and we tried the Beet Hummus Plate, the Non Mi Salad with Tempo, and the Pesto Tofu Scramble. All of the dishes were delicious, with a special mention to the beet hummus which was a step above the usual hummus found in most restaurants. The Pita chips served with the dishes were also fantastic! They offer the option to make any menu item vegan, which is great because the tempeh is delicious. A recent addition to the menu is the Fried Mushroom Sandwich, which can be made vegan upon request, and it was absolutely outstanding.
