We have just wanted coffee. But we found a small beautiful place that looks like an old European place.Coffee was perfect. Home made cakes are great. Low volume great music, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin style.Friendly, efficient service by the owner.We didnt try the menu but we will be back.Recommended.
The managers here treated the waiter poorly. Thats a non-starter for me, and I dont want to support a business that operates that way.The employee was clearly new on the job and was still learning the ropes as youd expect. The managers would harshly criticize him for small things.Another issue was the $30 minimum for a credit card purchase. Ive never heard of a minimum for a sit-down place like that. I offered to pay an extra dollar to cover the $0.40 fee that card processors charge, but they made me get up and walk to an ATM to withdraw cash.When the waiter asked what to do about the fact that I didnt have enough cash, someone behind the bar said why are you coming to me with this? and got angry for asking a question on how to deal with the fact that I didnt have cash on me. Theres no way he could have known since he was a new employee!My $13 omelette was tasty but nothing special. The restaurant itself was nice. Id probably have rated 4 stars if it werent for the disgusting treatment of the waitstaff.
MeLore is a cozy breakfast and lunch restaurant. It serves all the standard brunch dishes in addition to some surprises such as eggs Benedict on a potato pancake. All dishes were excellent.Unfortunately we arrived at the same time as two large parties which stretched the staff, but the server was calm and friendly.
I had the breakfast and lunch and it was lovely. Love the french vibe, the food is delicious and the presentation beautiful. The grilled brie with caramelized onions and pear was incredibly good and gooey and the accompanying tomato soup tasted fresh and bright. Breakfast was avocado on sour dough with dazzling greens. My only regret is that I left my camera home. Oceanside is lucky to have MeLore......

2021-06-14Food was really good and tasty. Proportion was on the small side compare to the price of dishes. The smoke salmon over 1 slice bread, cheese and little green salad on top dish was $20. Thats fine dining for you... 🤷🏽♂️ But, overall I did enjoy it.

2022-06-13If you are looking to relax, take your time while experiencing delightful food in a tranquil atmosphere this place is for you. If you are expecting jump at your feet speed service keep it moving, this aint a burn & turn money hog.. If you are looking quality ingredients and proper portions at justifiable pricing this place is for you. If you are looking for cheep over sized portions this is not the place. I will be going back and I look forward to meeting you there

2022-07-25About my third time coming out here for dinner and food has been fantastic along with the service. Service on my last visit wasnt that great but that was on me because I should have switched out. Dessert is great too and wine prices are awesome.

2022-05-08Quiet, cozy atmosphere and a freestyle guitarist playing relaxing music makes for a great vibe.Cappuccino was bad bad bad. Very disappointing as a coffee lover. Tasted like a poorly extracted stale Robusta blend, and milk was not stretched or foamed much.Pancakes were incredible - visually, aromatically, and most importantly, palatably. Best Ive ever had and probably ever will.

2018-11-29I’ll tell you what I like about this relaxed cozy place. Fresh food cooked properly with tasteful French influences. My goat cheese omelette with avocado and bacon was yummy. The ricotta pancakes are a home run as well as their eggs Benedict. Great decor and a friendly staff make it great place to start your day
