But Mezzo's offerings extend beyond salads. Their Loaded Toasts are a treat in their own right, featuring combinations that range from the savory—avocado, bacon, and a perfectly cooked 6-minute egg for $7.00—to the sweet, with almond butter, honey, and banana drizzled with cinnamon for just $4.50. For a more classic taste, don’t skip the housecured salmon toast on rye, which comes beautifully layered with cream cheese, capers, and red onion for $8.00.

And let’s not forget the coffee! Mezzo proudly serves up local brews from renowned roasters, offering rich and robust options that are perfect for any time of day. For just $3.50, you can enjoy a freshly brewed Americano or opt for something refreshing like the Mint Iced Coffee.

What truly sets Mezzo apart is its atmosphere and community feel. Customers rave about the spacious setting, which includes outdoor seating that enhances the dining experience. The ambiance is lively yet relaxed, making it an ideal spot to unwind with friends or catch up on work with a cup of their expertly crafted coffee. Customer Joanne Liu aptly describes it as a place where the “long line goes through pretty fast,” hinting at the popularity of the shop during peak hours. And with such delicious options, it’s no wonder!

As you navigate the bustling menu, be prepared for a hearty meal that’s not only delicious but also healthy.
