  Good selection of yummy coffee concoctions and a great variety of foods: sweet, savory, healthy, and not so healthy goodies.
  
  It's close to my office so I enjoy the walk there and the ambience inside is a great place to take a short break.

  I ordered a cold brew and a bear claw for 6.50. Both were good quality and tasty. The location itself is large, dusty, and spacious, like a living space in an old mansion. The service was OK, not great. Everyone in there seemed a bit scattered and distracted, even though it wasn't very busy.
  I liked it enough to return the next time I am needing coffee in Medford.
  
  Actually I just took the last sip of my cold brew... Bummed its gone. It was excellent, in fact.

  Decent medium/dark roasted coffee, pretty good options for food and pastries. It's kind of hit and miss though. Some baristas here really know their stuff and some not as much.
  They know their stuff with Classic Italian espresso drinks so I would opt for that rather than one of the big sugary options unless that's your thing.
  
  The employee named Cody was nice enough to explain a lot to me and answer my questions. I will come back.

  This dancing elephant crushes a tasteful chai tea latte but topples a bit on dietary options and presenting itself as a luxury cafe.
  
  Digs:
  With tall ceilings greeting you like a coliseum, you begin to feel spoiled or flattered with the surroundings - I did; I looked closer and items seem to disorient and clash from a designer's perspective on photo choices to menu/ bag layouts; the issue that turns me snobby is when a coffee shop presents itself as a higher experience then Starbucks (the foundation of artistic middle-class coffee consumerism); again I have no idea what I'm talking about concerning coffee but I felt if they want to be "high-and-mighty" then get it right; Seattle/ Portland/ Eugene have the focus of coffee shops that don't need to push their elegance on a customer; if you give them an awesome brew and a shop personality then they will return; chairs/ tables ready for use and Christmas music blaring to fill our hearts with boastful cheer;
  
  Drank:
  Chai Tea Latte - (warm sippin' delight): sadly they did not have or supply the drink with almond milk, which would have pleased my dear companion when she needed that fix that would not upset her system quite as badly;
  
  Service:
  The front desk barista seemed disconnected and less charming to us as brand new patrons;
  
  Overall:
  With Limestone Coffee just down the road I don't understand why someone would continue down to take part in Mellelo's establishment. They both have premium prices and other coffee havens just present a better customer service i.e. Dutch Brothers or Human Bean when it comes to caffeinated addictions. If you're in business proximity to it that would be the only reason to linger further.

  Pretty decent coffee although it's slightly overpriced. The guy who rang me up was nice enough, but the other dude who made my iced latte was lacking in basic coffee house etiquette. He was having a conversation with his cute co-worker and never called out that my drink was ready. I looked over at him to see what was up and saw him breaking down boxes and cleaning the half and half station never missing a beat in his flirtation. I wandered over to the counter, and sure enough, there was my order. It won't kill your game to call out when a drink is ready. I don't blame you -- she was pretty! But come on, take two seconds to let a paying customer know their order is ready.
