The cafe has operated in Cincinnati's Northside neighborhood along Hamilton Avenue since before its TV appearance. According to the business's own website, meltrevival.com, checked September 8, 2026, the cafe now operates under the name Melt Revival and identifies Melt Eclectic Cafe as its earlier name.
