    All I can say is WOW. We didn’t even make it to the car, it was incredible. The strawberry lemonade, we’re still thinking about it. Definitely will be coming back here!

    I couldn’t make it to the car. The wet burrito is thick, hearty and juicy. The strawberry lemonade was nothing like you’ve ever tasted before, let’s debate. it’s delicious and refreshing. The best late night/early morning grub spot in Atlanta. VEGAN | VEGAN

    I don’t know which critically acclaimed chef is hiding in that kitchen BUT THEY NEED TO COME OUT AND STOP PLAYING WITH US!!! I was craving rice super late at night and found this place and read the reviews I was less then 10 mins away so I called and placed my order customer service was warm friendly and helpful. I normally add salt to most of my meals just because I personally tend to like more salt then the usual person but this food was so flavorful I couldn’t be bothered I ordered the rice bowl and 1 taco and BRO! Both were amazing, if whoever the cook is was going to make all my vegetarian meals for the rest of my life then I would probably never ask for another wing or steak again!!! EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT VEGETARIAN PLEASE TRY THIS PLACE… and leave a review ppl need to know!!!! And excuse my picture I had already started digging in.

    This is a LONG overdue review! This is my FAVORITE late night food spot! The food is reasonably priced, hot and delicious. I’m a real foodie so I was shocked the first time I had it that it was this delicious and vegan!I’ve tried pretty much the whole menu at this point. Tacos, burgers, sloppy Joe’s, samosas, sausage, all of it goes crazy! So good! Taco bae and her daughter both are such good vibes with good customer service. This place is a gem!

    This place is DELICIOUS! Went here after a concert at the Masquerade and was totally blown away! There are few places I rave about, but this place is awesome! The flavor is balanced and unique and absolutely delicious! If you happen to be anywhere close when they are open, GO!

    So let me tell you... my homegirl brought me here, expecting nothing but the best, because my girl is vegan and PICKY. So, I ordered the two tacos. AWESOME, DELICIOUS, and the lime to top it off was the best. And the samosa. I ATE ALL OF THAT. To the point I had to order another burrito and a polish sausage. Haven't had the polish yet. But I'm sure it will be great. Beautiful women running a delicious business.

    Oh, OK so I showed up hungry. Everybody else was closed around my area. One of the workers introduced me to their menu, I needed my food as fast as possible so I let the service worker decide my order. They gave me the two vegan taco special. it was two vegan tacos with a side of rice, and it was so filling . I will be back definitely for sure and bringing my coworkers

    Chile whett??! I ordered the nachos, hands down the best I have had vegan or not. I was a bit skeptical at first but after trying it, I thought to myself, what sorcery is this?? lol! I almost called her back to get the recipes😂 (I live in another state!) you won’t be disappointed! Was grateful for the late night hours as well.

    The polish sausage was sooo good my friend had the Spanish rice. Everything was fresh and it was filling and I’m not vegan but it’s good. Definitely will come again

    Some of the best food in the city, by far the best Vegan. The Whole menu slap, make it hard to choose a favorite. If you didn’t know it was vegan before the 1st bite you wouldn’t believe it after.

    Phenomenal. Grabbed food here with my wife after a show at the Masquerade and OMG. I did not expect the food to be THIS good. We initially went there because the food looked unique and like it had soul, as well as a variety of vegan / plant based options. However, it went beyond that with a depth of flavor. This place was the cherry on top of our night on the town. Veggie sloppy Joe ✔️ Plant based nachos ✔️

    A friend of mine as well as myself are traveling via bus and stop right here in Atlanta Georgia where we could find nowhere to eat . Lo and behold this amazing speak easy cooks the most delicious meal. The environment as well as the service employees brought us back to a place of complete solitude. Stay sweet Melinated Cafe

  • 5/5 DJ D. 7 months ago on Google
    This is probably some of the best vegan food I have ever had. Spices was on point. Loved ever bite. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Symone B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite spots to eat. I don’t know if I love the flavors, the customer service or the, late night hours more. Protect Melinated Café and all the beautiful ladies that make this possible at all costs 💚🤞🏾

  • 5/5 Michael B. 1 year ago on Google
    Best polish sausage I’ve had, tacos were great too!

  • 5/5 george r. 6 months ago on Google
    Vegan from boston looking for some good plant based food late night. The affordable polish sausage and side of rice was 5 stars! I’ll definitely be coming back.

  • 5/5 Ryan J. 8 months ago on Google
    Whether you are visiting Atlanta, or you are just finding out about this spot, this is most-go spot to grab a bite after a fun night! If you tasted the food you will never be disappointed. You are sure to tell a friend.

  • 5/5 Erica J. 11 months ago on Google
    Food was so good, and I was pleased with the many vegan options. Prices were reasonable and the owner and so sweet and nice. Great customer service as well. Definitely will be coming back.

    Really good Tacos haven’t tried anything else I’m stuck on the Tacos.. Simply the best!! Love me some Melinated Cafe!! ❤️❤️❤️

  • 5/5 Santez H. 8 months ago on Google
    The chef be doin her dam thang! Came here one late night on a whelm, when nothing else was open and found some of the best vegan tacos in ATL. Highly recommend for vegans looking for a late night weekend spot!

  • 5/5 Ashley N. 10 months ago on Google
    This my second attempt at writing this review. The first time was as soon as I finished those FANTASTIC tacos that subsequently put me to sleep. You don’t expect common staples like a polish sausage or tacos to be that mind blowing but……definitely underestimated them both. Only drawback is I wish they were open during the week to feed my new addiction 😂

  • 2/5 Sofia O. 11 months ago on Google
    Wanted to see what’s all the fuss about:) I saw five stars & was elated to try it out! Usually, wouldn’t give a low review after I speak with someone at the restaurant but I wasn’t impressed with the food nor the response. The packaging is poor quality & more than likely the reason why the food arrives cold; we were only ten minutes away. Putting a burger with lettuce inside of aluminum foil & foam is not a good idea btw. The fries was okay though the toppings were tasty. The lettuce & salads was not fresh. Big disappointment. I expected better with having five stars 👀 Interesting, to say the least. Hope this helps.

  • 5/5 Jocelyn D. 11 months ago on Google
    The food is amazing and absolutely worth it. Music and vibes in here. I’m so glad I came because It’s hard finding good vegan spots open late. And the have a bar and open late. I will be back!

  • 5/5 Jennifer G. 11 months ago on Google
    So good!! (and I eat meat- chicken only, but still). You can taste the love! Honestly I was taken aback by how good it was. The flavors were fantastic! If you haven't been here before COME HERE and if you live in ATL - come here all the time. Mt gosh. So dang good!!

  • 5/5 Jay R. 1 year ago on Google
    Best burger and hand cut fries ever. Friendly service!! Definitely a must have every time I visit Atlanta.

  • 5/5 Gerard W. 1 year ago on Google
    The best kept secret in Atlanta!! I'm not a vegan but I must say anytime I'm down there I'm making a stop. A++

  • 5/5 Quinn M. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a beautiful gem to experience. The food is amazing, freshly made, and full of flavor and depth. The chef was very sweet and accommodating. This will be my late night go to spot in ATL. I was not prepared for how delicious this was!!!! There is no way you would think this is all plant based.

  • 5/5 Constance C. 6 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Food was hot, fresh, and so so delicious! I will back here again and again! I got the Taco Bae and my bf got the vegan sloppy Joe. Hands down best vegan taco I ever had! The lettuce and other toppings seem fresh from a garden somewhere! Best vegan food Ever!!

  • 5/5 WITH 1. 6 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Hands down this place has the best Tacos and Nachos in Atlanta I think i want another one as i post this review! Not only were they delicious but theyre healthy as well so its a win win. Its somethings about that signature seasoning, the cheese and sour cream is a must! I recommend the Melinated Cafe to the stomach of the world. Better than a Waffle House in the late hours of the night if you ask me but go see Taco Bae for yourself! The Burgers, the fries and the Dogs are slapping mothers out their own kitchen!! 5 Stars!!!!

  • 5/5 NextGen C. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    These are literally the best tacos I’ve had in Atlanta. And being from San Antonio Texas, trust me when I say….IVE BEEN LOOKING! Vegan or not, the fresh and delicious ingredients are the perfect combination, drizzled with the lil hot sauce……. Do yourself a favor and check em out. 10 outta 10 would recommend!

  • 5/5 May M. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Sooooooo, this is the best vegan comfort food I've had all year; it's December. The taco shells! Bruh. The girl who took my order was warm and kind, and she had a good face too. I'll definitely be back.
