Welcome to Café Melo, an extraordinary event space in the heart of Harlem, NYC. We are more than just a venue; we're a vibrant art gallery and a community gathering place committed to uniting the local community.

Our Mission

At Café Melo, our mission is to be the cultural hub of Harlem, fostering a sense of community through art, events, and shared experiences. We believe in bringing people together, creating connections, and enriching the lives of our neighbors.

Why did we invent Cafe Melo?
Because community matters. It’s more than a buzzword; it’s a lifeline. We’re here to provide safe spaces, vital information, and outreach programs. Justice-involved individuals find resources within our walls, and emerging artists find a platform to showcase their brilliance. Cafe Melo isn’t just a venue; it’s about creating opportunity, fostering awareness, and giving voices to all. We’re accessible, inclusive, and deeply connected to Harlem’s legends.

Our Company 

Cafe Melo is a living testament to Harlem's heartbeat. As a local establishment, we're intricately woven into the community's fabric. Our roots run deep, drawing inspiration from the brownstones, vibrant murals, jazz clurbs, and spirited conversations that echo through these historic streets. But Harlem’s legacy isn’t just about the past; it’s about creating a bridge to the future, a continuity our founder wholeheartedly embraces. From the Harlem Renaissance to the civil rights movement, this neighborhood has been a crucible of creativity, activism, and resilience.

We translate this belief into action, by ensuring accessibility and equity for all. From emerging artists, business pioneers to the “birthday girl” - Cafe Melo is your stage to claim.
