Bites Nearby: Mel's Commonwealth Cafe

For this week's bite, we're going to revisit a favorite that we stopped in about a year ago.

About a year ago, Wayland Patch editor Brooklyn Lowery visited Mel's Commonwealth Cafe for Bites Nearby. We thought it was time to take another look, so Acton Patch editor Pat Clark gave it a shot. His review is below:
