Very nice bar! They have different gluten-free croissants, cakes, or tarts :) Made by an external bakery and then heated on site. But they are SPECTACULAR!

a small place stocked with packaged but artisanal brioche, however both times I passed by after 10 they had already sold out, so availability is low.

Very nice and clean place, comfortable, cheerful atmosphere with plants which is always a good thing. I can talk about gluten-free products and dishes. The products are very good; some are handmade and others like the already made bread slices. For breakfast, they have pastries, slice cakes. As a second course, they can make excellent omelettes and tasty toast or fresh salads. What I love most about this place... is the attention to customers, the kindness, and the commitment that the two guys at the counter put into finding suitable solutions for eating gluten-free there. Often people with celiac disease are very superficial and get impatient quickly; of course, it’s also the fault of those who pretend to have intolerances and allergies, but they are always committed to accommodating you and finding something suitable for your needs. You can also feel that the products are of quality and fresh, even when talking about the salads... Smiles are never lacking, both from the guy and the girl behind the counter (who, by the way, is really a beautiful girl). The environment is calm, intimate, and pleasing to the eye. The foam in the cappuccinos and/or lattes is thick and bubble-free, which is not easy to find. The dishes used are also very charming, from cups to bowls and plates. Whenever I’m in the area and need to have lunch or get a coffee/cappuccino, I make a visit there, great! I recommend it!

Every morning I go for a coffee (actually two) at this magical place called Melée Café. Although it's not on my way, I prefer to detour and risk being late for work because the quality of the products is excellent. I have also stopped by for lunch and have always found all the offerings from the extensive menu exquisite, suitable for vegans and those with intolerances or allergies. The owner and the staff working with her are always very kind and smiling. I recommend it to everyone for finding a moment of serenity in their day.

A beautiful little bar that caters to all tastes, including vegans and gluten intolerant individuals, with truly delicious brioche and cookies. The venue is meticulously curated and also offers breakfasts based on yogurt with various accompaniments, as well as special coffees. If you're in the area, you must stop by. Pets are welcome, and you can often find highly appreciated dog cookies for sale as well.

A corner of cuddles in the heart of Bologna Melèe Café was a wonderful discovery. For someone like me, who has gluten and dairy intolerances, finding a welcoming place that pays attention to dietary needs is truly rare. I tasted a gluten-free and dairy-free cake that was a real delight, accompanied by a coconut milk cappuccino beautifully decorated with latte art – a small gesture that made me start my day with a smile. The environment is well-kept, serene, and the kindness of the staff made me feel right at home. In this little corner of Bologna, you feel welcomed, cherished, and, above all, loved. A place that stays in your heart. I will definitely return. 💛
