Welcome to Meli Cafe & Juice Bar
You are cordially invited to sit back, relax and enjoy a home cooked meal prepared by our kitchen. Here at Meli, the Greek word for honey, every seemingly insignificant detail receives special attention from our warm, inviting decor to each specially crafted variety of our all natural home made seasonal marmalades, and signature menu items. Every ingredient is carefully inspected to meet our strict standards and high quality expectations. High-grade maple syrup, our own whipped butters, our own fresh baked challah bread, and Eggland's Best Organic enhance the flavor in all of Meli's unique recipes. We thank you for choosing Meli Cafe
Now a few words about our coffee selection....
Coffee is an art as much as a science. Coffee is a fruit, its rich flavor comes from a combination of organic and inorganic compounds; including proteins, oils, and sugars. The history of coffee is steeped in legend and romantic lore. Although no one knows for sure, coffee was discovered around 500 A.D. and since then it has been used as food, medicine, social rituals, intellectual, cultural life and most important as a symbol of hospitality. Our coffee is a blend made up of a selection of the sweetest and roundest Asian varieties carefully combined with the fragrant mild beans of Central American mountains and smooth Brazilian varieties. That is why here at Meli Cafe we take great pride in offering our guests the finest quality of coffee.

Our Mission
To market the freshest, best tasting, healthiest and most nutritious egg possible to customers nationally.
Eggland’s Best is a research-backed, marketing and sales organization owned by egg producers with over 100 million hens. Our 19 franchisees are geographically dispersed throughout the U.S. Eggland’s Best eggs come from hens fed a patented, all-natural, all-vegetarian diet with no animal fats or animal byproducts. The feed contains healthy grains, canola oil and an all-natural supplement of rice bran, kelp, alfalfa meal, vitamins, minerals and Vitamin E. Eggland’s Best never uses hormones or antibiotics of any kind.
Eggland’s Best shell eggs are produced to the strictest quality standards in USDA-certified facilities. In addition, Eggland’s Best conducts over 30,000 laboratory tests yearly to ensure that lower levels of cholesterol and saturated fat, and higher levels of Vitamin E, Iodine, and Omega 3, are met. Eggland’s Best is committed to producing the healthiest, freshest and most delicious egg possible.
Eggland’s Best feed program is so special and unique that the US Patent Office has granted the company US patent #5,246,717 for “Eggs Compatible with a Cholesterol Reducing Diet and Method of Producing Same.” The EB stamp on our shells is your assurance that they meet the highest standards of taste, nutrition and quality.

Cholesterol
Eggland’s Best white eggs have 175 mg cholesterol (EB brown eggs: 170 mg) vs. 213 mg in ordinary eggs. Clinical tests demonstrate that people on a low-fat diet ate 12 Eggland’s Best eggs per week without increasing their serum cholesterol level.

Omega 3
Eggland’s Best eggs contain 100 mg of Omega 3, which is 3 times the level found in ordinary eggs. Omega 3 fatty acids are considered "essential" to overall good health but cannot be produced by the body. They promote infant development, improved heart health, brain and eye function, and mental health. Omega 3 fatty acids may also reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
