Mellana Cafe
4539 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Oakland, CA
Crema's Take
“Mellana Cafe is a neighborhood gem in Oakland where the specialty drinks and smoothie bowls are the real stars—reviewers rave about the fresh, organic ingredients and genuinely good coffee that keeps them coming back. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with friendly staff and a cute space that's perfect for lingering with friends or getting work done, though it's worth noting that consistency with some items like the açai bowls can vary. This is the kind of spot that feels like a local discovery, with that authentic Oakland character and care for ingredient sourcing that makes people want to add it to their regular rotation.”

Great smoothie bowls—fresh fruit and not too sugary. Good coffee. Very friendly service and it’s a cute spot.
Picked up a coffee. Love the neighborhood vibe, the friendly staff, and the menu. The coffee was really good! Definitely going to add to my rotation.
This a cute cafe! I had a strawberry and banana smoothie so good I forgot to take a picture. Definitely come check it out.
I found this gem on my way to Vallejo and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! This has an Oakland vibe, the smoothie was all organic, the açai bowl was fresh, and I could tell they probably source their ingredients locally. I loved the music as well! Finally, the shop itself had a cozy vibe. Love this place and will be back!
Unfortunately this place is tied for worst açaí bowl I’ve ever had. The bowl was pre made in the freezer. I also got it with peanut butter, which was also in the pre made / frozen container. As a result, when I went to eat it with their flimsy plastic spoon, the spoon just broke in half. I needed to wait probably 30 minutes until it was thawed.
