• 3/12/26I have not seen a better value on DoorDash than this place. The pasta and ceviche were both excellent, came in a surprisingly large portion, and are less expensive than anywhere else in LA.
Can't wait to try more of the menu. Will be ordering again

• 11/17/25⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Melrose Café Delivers Restaurant-Level Craft Through Delivery
I ordered from Melrose Café through DoorDash, and the quality of the meal genuinely exceeded my expectations. This wasn’t “good for delivery” — this was just good food, period.
Melrose Pasta
The Melrose Pasta is a carefully crafted dish that shows real intention behind each ingredient. The sautéed chicken breast is tender and well-seasoned, not dry or overcooked like you often get from delivery. The apple bacon adds a smoky-sweet depth that elevates the entire plate — you can taste that slight crisp caramelization that only comes from cooking with attention.
The mushrooms and garlic bring an earthy aromatic base, and the Alfredo ties everything together beautifully. The sauce is creamy without being overly heavy, and it coats the rigatoni perfectly, filling the tubes with flavor instead of drowning the dish. The balance is what stands out: every bite gives you something different — a hint of sweetness from the bacon, savory notes from the chicken, and that silky Alfredo backdrop.
Rigatoni is a bold choice for a dish like this, and Melrose Café nails it. It kept its structure in delivery, maintaining that firm, al dente bite you want from a proper pasta.
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
The homemade chicken noodle soup was another highlight. It tasted like something made in-house, not mass-produced. The broth is clean, warm, and flavorful — comforting without being overly salty. The noodles held their texture, and the chicken pieces were soft and plentiful. It’s the kind of soup that feels intentionally layered, not rushed.
Overall
Melrose Café clearly understands technique, balance, and flavor building. Getting this level of quality through delivery speaks volumes about how they operate in the kitchen. Everything arrived hot, well-packaged, and consistent.
This is the kind of spot you end up ordering from again because you trust that they take their food seriously — and it shows.

• 1/28/251. Melrose Pasta was very good, but pasta itself was barely al dente and because it wasn't eaten right away the sauce broken
2. Creamy Chicken Pesto too oily, pesto itself had an Earthy taste. Chicken was really good
3. Cheesecake Super good, on the sweeter side
4. Chocolate Mousse Has small silver of cake, and mousse almost tastes like frosting. Also small slice but good

• 10/10/25I like having the option to pick different sides for the Chicken Parmigiana , since I have to limit my carb intake due to health reasons. Tasted good and good portions for the price! The Minestrone Soup was a delightful surprise. Hearty, warm and comforting, lots of veggies and tastes great, like it was freshly made. Would definitely order both items again.
