Melissa Patisserie & Confectionery

On Camden High Street just a little bit further off from the beaten tourist track, there lies a little bakery and cafe called Melissa. When I used to work near Mornington Crescent, I’d regularly pop in to see a particular waitress but what also truly is a marvel is their tomato, feta and basil flatbreads, croissants cut in half and stuffed with brie and sun dried tomato and rocket, homemade sausage rolls, hotdog style frankfurters in crunchy pastry lined with cheese (ask for mustard), chorizo and mozzarella rolls and ensembles of fruit filled pies, crepes and pastries to mention just a few things on offer, displayed in the shop window. Make no mistake these are all of course extremely delicious and very reasonably priced, you’ll totally love it. For all the reasons above, I couldn’t recommend it more.

Melissa's is a great place to sit and gobble! You can't beat the prices for Camden, they are truly reasonable. The food is good, although the pizza/some pasteries can sometimes be on the oily side. Coffee is okay too if you need your fix. And if you manage to get a seat, great little place to sit for a few minutes to catch up with the day

This place is great, some really nice food at reasonable, borderline cheap prices. My nephew loves the pretzels. Just had a vegetarian pizza and it's easily one of the best I've ever had. Super soft base with lots of veg and tons of flavour. Brilliant! Has seating in the back and though small, they don't try to rush you out.

Melissa's has been serving affordable, good quality food for several years in Camden. They have a range of sweet and savoury selections at a price range extremely suitable for lunch. Limited seated provided ( ~15 seats, very cramped but nice decor). Everything is made fresh on the day, from their large £1 cinnamon pretzels, to their chicken & bacon sandwiches. Their small pizzas were a favourite of mine, but the quality of them has dipped quite significantly over the past year, whilst raising the price by 20p. Regardless, I still eat here fairly regularly, and their salads and sandwiches are great quality for the price. And the clear out discounts at the end of the day don't hurt either.
