"Really cool coffee shop / lunch spot in South End. Chris the barista is a major baller. I ordered a cafe au lait (not on the menu) and they rung it up as a latte but he made the CaL anyway (to perfection, I might add). Was supposed to meet Mike Truty for a one on one but he didn’t show up. (He sent some cryptic message about having to evaluate an investment in a yak farm. Oh well.) The little pantry up front is a godsend - often saves me a trip to the grocery."

"Very good food! I got the sweet potato pancakes which were fluffy and soft and perfectly seasoned. Such an amazing fall flavor. My friend got the back on egg and cheese which looked amazing and the eggs were fluffy and potato’s perfectly seasoned. Matcha and coffee were alright. Would like to try a cocktail next time"

"Salted Melon has a really cool, modern vibe - clean design, relaxed music, and a great place to hang out or grab lunch. The steak sandwich was the highlight — tender, flavorful, and well put together. The soup was a bit on the salty side, and the drink was just okay, but overall it was still a nice spot with good energy and friendly service."

"I ordered the steak sandwich, which was very delicious and juicy. I also ordered an iced green matcha latte with vanilla. I’m a frequent matcha drinker and this one was one of my favorites! Usually they are too watery or bitter but Randi made it perfectly! The atmosphere is also very cute with plenty of seating. I will definitely return here."

"Hands-down one of the best brunch spots in Charlotte! I had the Bandit Burrito and it was absolutely packed with flavor — hearty, spicy, and incredibly satisfying. My wife ordered the sweet potato pancakes, and we were both blown away. They were somehow fluffy and perfectly crunchy around the edges — seriously amazing. The vibe was relaxed, the service was friendly, and everything felt thoughtfully crafted. Salted Mellow Market is a hidden gem we’ll definitely be coming back to."
