Mel's Commonwealth Cafe

We've come a long way from the early days in 1958 when Mel's was known as the Elmwood Donut Shop - just a counter, 14 stools and a large variety of donuts. But even back then we always listened to what our customer had to say. That's why in 1956 we added a grill and started to cook hamburgers and hot dogs. When our customers saw the grill they said "How about bacon and eggs?" and so breakfast became the new meal at Mel's. Next came BLTs and ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch.
