Melt

Melt Café and Gelato bar is a fresh, new experience that excites customers with healthy, tasty European inspired foods and desserts, from delicious crepes to Gelato, Sorbetto and Italian yogurt, to yummy paninis and wraps, all made to order, the traditional way. Authentic Italian gelato and Sorbetto has been loved for hundreds of years, it has yet to be fully marketed to American consumers. The same can be said for crepes and paninis. Melt brings delicious products, including savory and sweet crepes, fresh-pressed Panini, tasty wraps, coffee, smoothies, Italian sodas and other treats to the American food lover.
