Our story
A true family business
Two generations of the Mellicovsky family, baking by hand in the heart of Amsterdam since 1999. From one of the city's first espresso bars to fresh cookies, alfajores and dulce de leche, every day.

A juice bar on this very spot
Argentine entrepreneur Guillermo Mellicovsky opens a small juice bar in the heart of Amsterdam. The start of everything.

Melly's Cookiebar
One of the first espresso bars in the city, pairing Italian-roasted Arcaffé coffee with Argentine alfajores, dulce de leche and yerba mate.

The next generation
Guillermo returns to Argentina and his nephew Daniel takes over. Rita teaches him every recipe by hand, so the cookies and alfajores stay exactly as hers.

Melly's Stroopwafels
The juices make way for warm stroopwafels, pressed fresh on the iron next door. Same hands, same passion, made fresh every day.
