Mel's Petit Café

Highly recommend if you crave authentic sweet and buckwheat crêpes (galettes)! Also -- If you have Celiac or are gluten-free, this should be on your list! Most buckwheat options are gluten-free and are labeled clearly on the menu. The owner and chef is a French lady. Met her and she was lovely. The service was equally great and quick! Will come back again!! Format is you order and pay first, get a number, sit anywhere (inside or out), and they find you and serve.

I’ll preface by saying I have a severe gluten intolerance, and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. They cleaned all the equipment and changed their gloves before making my order, which put my mind at ease. I ordered the savory classic crepe with buckwheat, I believe someone else posted a photo of it already. Wow, it tastes amazing and fills you up but not in a bad way. The fresh salad is a breakfast addition as well. The coffee, lattes and cappuccinos are also very well made. The atmosphere is very relaxing, nice decor, and the shop is well kept and clean. Definitely give Mel’s a try when you’re in the Burgh!

Delicious! Cute! Unique flavors and familiar favorites. There is something here for most people. I’m excited to come back and try their gluten free items with my gluten free fiancé
