As you can guess from its name, MELD’s specialty is sandwiches. The folded sandwiches include bread that almost has a thin, pita-like consistency and generously stuffed with the filling of your choosing. The most popular sandwich at MELD is the mouthwatering Turkey Bacon with shaved turkey, crisp bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and garlic aioli. Each sandwich is accompanied with chips or house-made coleslaw. You can also upgrade your side to a simple salad or bowl of soup.
