Una Mela - Uptown is a relaxed cafe and brunch spot tucked along Masterson's Avenue in Cagayan De Oro City, blending the comfort of a neighborhood hangout with a tasteful approach to coffee and desserts. Its interior carries a distinct charm, decorated with lush plants, shelves of books, and even bicycles on display, giving it a casual, slightly eclectic vibe that invites lingering over a cup or a slice of cake.

This spot suits those looking for a calm mid-morning or afternoon pause—whether you’re settling in with a book, catching up with friends, or working on your laptop. The atmosphere feels homey but thoughtfully styled, so there’s a balance between cozy and stylish without feeling too polished or bustling.

Coffee takes center stage here, with well-crafted espresso drinks like cafe lattes and more inventive options such as their peppermint S’mores mocha or Spanish latte adding a playful twist for those who want something beyond the usual. Alongside that, the tea selection offers respite for those who prefer a lighter, premium cup alongside their food.

Food-wise, the menu stretches comfortably from breakfast and brunch staples to more refined dishes like paprika chicken and salmon en papillote, accompanied by pasta and pizza choices. However, what stands out most to regulars are their desserts—particularly layers of opera cake, pistachio cake, and unique takes on local favorites like their version of sylvannas, which leans sweet and satisfying without overpowering.

Service here is noted for its friendliness and a personal touch, making visitors feel recognized and well cared for, whether popping in for a quick coffee or settling down for a longer meal. The vibe remains relaxed throughout the day, providing a versatile setting for casual dates, small gatherings, or solo quiet time.

Overall, Una Mela fits nicely in the Uptown neighborhood as a spot that invites you to slow down and savor both familiar and thoughtfully curated tastes amid a calming, plant-filled environment.

Such a charming and cozy spot! The interior is full of plants and personality—definitely a great place to chill, read, or catch up with friends. Tried their cafe latte and it was beautifully done, smooth and comforting. The mixed berries juice was refreshing with just the right hint of tartness. Their take on Sylvannas (called Slyvannaa) was delightful—on the sweeter side (matamis), but the flavor variety made up for it. I really enjoyed the texture too! The kamote chips were golden and crispy, with a dip on the side—great for sharing and perfect for snacking. Also love their little slogan: "Celebrate meaningful moments". That vibe really matches the whole experience here. Definitely a place I’ll return to!

You had me at "Dessert House". Their opera cake is a must try, and definitely a cake like no other. Layers of goodness in every bite. Ambience during the time of dine-in was cozy. Filled with books, plants and even 2 bikes. If you're into taking pictures, this place has great area for shots.

The place has a homey feel. Also great for taking pictures. The food is amazing. Kudos to the Head Chef. One should try the Paprika Chicken, a favorite of mine. The cakes are delicious, too! Just the right amount of sweetness. Service? 10/10. JM, our server is so funny and nice. I wish to be served by him again soon. All in all, Una Mela is a great place to dine in.

Super happy my amigas brought me here. Loved their blueberry cheese, pistachio and opera cakes. (We shared, okay?) Took home sylvanas for pasalubong which were equally yummy. My amiga had carbonara and she loved it. They have good coffee and tea options, too. Service was just great. Thanks!

You should try this place!! Great food, good service and a very cozy place to enjoy your food. Pistachio sans rival is highly recommended, as well as their pasta. Their drink selection is also great too. Not just a dessert house!! It is so much more than we expected. Another great food experience for us!

What a Blast! Thank you Una Mela Dessert House for a welcoming service. First time here, and it was okay. Nice little space and area for a chill hangout. I really like the place, the vibe, ambiance and atmosphere is perfect. To all dessert house I've visited, this place is the best. Service - approachable and friendly staff. They make sure all your needs are met, from its free service and food feedbacks. Also, they are friendly and always leaving you with their enthusiastic smile. Especially, I thank Miko, not sure if it is his real name but i got his picture though HAHA, for his service from taking an order to serving the food. Special mention, the candle lighting in our table - it really makes me so special. In short, they treat their customers with care. Food - so delicious and fancy. Their food is equally serve with formality and proper preparation from making the food on spot to their food decorations. From the RED VELVET CAKE AND CAPPUCCINO, it taste great and the preparation is the best. This just means that the chef really prepares a lot of effort and creativity for their customers. They also serve Brunch, Lunch and Dinner Meals. More of that, five stars for the chef. Place - Warm and Eco-friendly. What I like the most is the place itself. It is eco-friendly with their real plants and eco-vibe. At the same time, they also showcase a lot of books where you can read and take pictures for some aesthetic moments. Overall evaluation, this place is recommended for all, young professionals, friends, and family. It is a place where you can bond while enjoying the food serving to you. Just by its place, you can relieve your stress from your work or academics. Indeed, a place where I want to visit again. "if bibisitahin niyo to, pramis hindi kayo magsisi. Ari na higala!!! Again, Thank you so much Una Mel Dessert House and the staff. Keep it up!!!!

Super cozy and chic place! Although a bit pricey, the food was scrumptious and aesthetically pleasing. Our servers, sir Jose and sir Myko, were very attentive and pleasant as well. Highly recommend if you want a nice and quiet place to eat and enjoy your time with friends.
