The new spot is at 4635 Arbutus Street in Kerrisdale, tucked away in a small strip mall – a definite departure from its first location on busy Pender Street in Chinatown.
This new space is large and airy, with plenty of interior seating. In true Mello fashion, the interior is incredibly cute, with terrazzo-tiled flooring and tables, pastel-hued seating, and abundant tropical plants – the perfect backdrop for all those donut pictures you’ll undoubtedly be taking.
