Editorial Review for Sweet Melissa – by Ben Klipstein
The Scene
Sweet Melissa, named after the omnipresent Allman Brothers song, is a welcome and casual addition to the hopping Court Street restaurant scene. In summer, the small outdoor garden is an ideal place to sip coffee while reading under a canopy of trees and sky.
The Food
Owner Melissa Murphy Hagenbart rolls out an impressive lineup of sweet treats such as kiwi and blueberry tarts, linzer tarts, cookies and puddings. Afternoon tea service runs from 1pm to 5pm. There's even a nice menu of savory items served during late lunch and dinner hours.

Not up to the hype. Not very fresh and the staff is rude. This is true of the Park Slope location as well.
Pros: When fresh the baked goods are fine
Cons: Not always fresh and the service is pretentious and rude

Treats are okay, not the best I've ever had. Sometimes I feel like they aren't that fresh. The service is horrible, at least in Starbucks they sometimes try to force a smile and serve you quickly.
