Drink orders were backed up and my order was skipped - I didn't receive my full order of avocado toast that I paid for and wasn't able to talk to anyone about since the staff was stressed. Mediocre at best especially for charging an extra for alternative milks. Will check out their other locations to see if things are different.

The bacon and egg empanada had cubes of ham NOT bacon. And it was half empty. Pretty disappointed overall.

The turnover 11/10, and I will make special trips just to get great pastries. The service here is very kind, inviting and so helpful. They have some seating inside and a few tables outside as well for ample seating. The ONLY negative thing about this place they have no control over. The parking SUCKS OUT LOUD. I hate trying to park in downtown Escondido. I can't take anything away from them for this but-for me- the frustration in this keeps it from being my regular place. If you live in the area and like good coffee and food, 100% would recommend

I love the ambience here, but always feel a little meh about the coffee, but let me explain: I'm a…read morebold coffee person. I love a rich roast. Their coffee tends towards a brighter, citric flavor that reminds me very much of cold brew. Which I don't care for. But others might! So if a brighter, lighter flavor is what you enjoy (what up tea people) then this might be the place you're looking for. And again, I adore the vibe here. Probably the chillest work/read spot in all of Escondido. Parking can be rough if downtown is busy, but only if you're adamant about needing to be very close for mobility reasons etc. Otherwise you can usually find something walkable. Beautiful, open cafe with a lovely view of the small park across the street and downtown Esco.

This is my go-to coffee shop whenever I'm in North County. I always end up stopping here because…read moreit's consistently good and reliable. Their vanilla latte is one of my favorites-smooth, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. I also love that they rotate in seasonal drinks regularly, so there's usually something new and fun to try depending on the time of year. The drive-thru is quick and convenient, which makes it super easy to grab coffee on the go. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, even when they're busy. Overall, it's a great, dependable spot with good drinks and solid service. Definitely recommend if you're looking for an easy go-to coffee stop in North County.

We can Definitely a cool coffee shop in San Diego. The pastries here are pretty good. I heard they just changed the bagels only made by their sister Co.. I need to give those a try I got the coffee soda basically like an espresso tonic pretty good the glass that it comes i in his super cool and different to most of the places you get coffee at the side of the building is small, but still kind of spacious in a way gives us pretty cool atmosphere. I heard they're gonna do some more upgrades to the inside, making it feel a little more home like that's cool cause I like cozy spots with a manly touch concrete leather metals. It's just a vibe.

I wanted to give this place another shot, I know people love. I was in the area and popped in…read more I ordered a large hot non fat mocha. Which is my standard order. And picked up an almost croissant. They do not shelve non fat milk, but have oat and almond. So I went with oat. Two customers that came after me go thier drinks first. And when mine came up, it was lovely but not right. It was a cold mocha. They remade it. It was just a wee annoying, especially since I was coming here with the hopes of a mind blowing experience. The coffee was fine. The staff seem to know the local regulars and chat them up appropriately. The seating it still hard and uncomfortable. I'll try again one more time to see if hey flip my bippy. So far two stars for they way they interacted with other. One star for the pastry and the coffee mis up and late service was a - of stars. And my picky pastry folks (she knows who she is) would say it's not a true croissant, as there are cuts across the pastry... but it's buttery and flaky..

The atmosphere is great and while busy, the shop never seems to get too loud or dirty. The food is amazing!! Drinks are just okay, but I'm insanely picky so most people should end up liking them. The people I brought here have loved their drinks (usually lattes of some sort). Service is great and the staff have all been super patient and knowledgable both times I stopped by. Parking is okay. I despise the Nordahl Marketplace parking lot with every fiber of my being but Mika's is def worth it!

I love trying all of their lattes, great flavor and the sweet doesn't over power the taste of the actual coffee. I love that balance. I'm in love with the croissant breakfast sandwich, the aioli in it is amazing and the croissant itself is the best I've had. I tried the breakfast burrito and it was good, but I preferred the croissant sandwich over it. I love that there's a variety of games and books to choose from, it really gives it a great vibe and welcomes you to stay for a bit.

I got the tiramisu latte, which is recommended by my friends and it did not disappoint. It was really really good! I also got some bacon and egg bites that were good.

My husband purchased our drinks and a cookie to go, and we waited about 5-10 minutes for our order. When we went to pick up our drinks, the cashier informed us that they had accidentally sold the cookie we had already purchased to another customer who was behind us in line. My husband was really disappointed since he had been looking forward to it. While this may have just been an off day, it was frustrating to pay for an item that was then given to someone else. I hope the business implements a better system for tracking baked goods that have already been purchased so this doesn't happen to other customers. We have enjoyed coming here, so it was disappointing to have an otherwise pleasant visit end this way.
