I'm a big coffee lover, so I'm always excited to try new spots. I actually came across this place a…read morewhile back but thr Vista location, it's a small drive-through hut, and at the time, I wasn't too impressed. Recently, I found myself in San Marcos and decided to give it another shot at this location and I'm so glad I did! I've been back a few times now, and every visit has been great. The shop is in a convenient shopping center with plenty of parking, which is always a plus. It's a small, cozy spot with a really cute setup. Each time I've gone, it's been the same person working, and he's always incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. I've tried a few different coffee drinks, and every single one has been delicious although the Mazapan Latte is my absolute favorite! Definitely a must try. The combination of great service and consistently amazing coffee is exactly why I keep coming back. Definitely worth checking out and making the drive since I'm in Carlsbad.

I treated myself to a lavender latte during my visit to power me through a few hours of work while waiting for my car to be serviced nearby. The latte was delicious, but a little too sweet for my taste. I wish there was an option to make it less sweet. It's possible that it was an option, but I didn't know about it. If you like the taste of coffee to come out more when enjoying an espresso drink, the lavender latte may be too sweet to your liking. The ambiance is perfect for a work day or even a intimate conversation with a friend.

The taro bingsoo was super light and fluffy. Not overly sweet, which I actually appreciated. It's definitely a good shareable dessert, especially if you want something refreshing instead of heavy. The taro with creme brulee was the standout for me though. The layers were really pretty, and once mixed, it had that creamy taro flavor with a slight caramelized richness from the brûlée topping. It felt a little more elevated than your typical taro milk tea.

I waited less than a couple minutes to order. There are some tables to sit inside so you can hang out while enjoying your drinks or desserts. I just ordered a Jasmine milk tea with boba, zero sugar, and I was happy with my order. They offer bing soo so I want to go back to try that. I would recommend this place and would go back.

I come here often to study since the ambience is really nice and clean. I love their drinks since it's hard to get more unique Asian flavors down here in San Marcos. Their Osmanthus tea/milk tea is my favorite!! One note is that their syrups are pretty sweet, so I recommend trying 70/50% sweetness. Love this place

My sister got the iced matcha latte with whip cream and loved it! (First drink) my boyfriend got the iced matcha latte with chocolate drizzle, his two favorite things, and wanted to go back for more from how delicious it was. (Second cup) We got the bubble waffle with Ube and Hojicha to share and oh my, definitely something i will keep craving until i go back! Everything tastes so authentic, fresh, and overall just delicious. Super friendly staff and clean dining area. They have some games to play while you wait which was nice as well. There's a few up here in NorCal where i am from like in SF's Japan town, and this one tasted just as delicious! Side note- they also have just a huge variety of other drinks and desserts! Definitely a must if in the area!

The store has a unique vibe, with old VHSs playing, a giant astronaut mural, tech decks, and other knickknacks. This shop has become a gem in the heart of old Vista, a community-oriented space serving some of the best brews and espresso experiments in north county San Diego. Try their cortado, "youniverse" cold brew, or cappuccino. They also serve a bunch of single serve clever drip coffees, loose-leaf teas, and even kombucha! Whether you're a coffee lover or just interested in cool spaces, be sure to check out this shop while you're out and about in Vista! Update: Been back several times since my original review. Still love this place's vibe, aesthetic, and attention to quality. Every drink is really good, and they are serious about their coffee and brewing. I've bought a couple bags of beans from here and they were great as both hot espresso and cold brew. Come by and support Vista local!

Before, I reveal, yet another amazing addition to the menu that is out of this world, yet so simple, it would be unfair of me to not show my gratitude to the most welcoming staff working at the front desk .. all of them very respectful, and their service is the reason why Mika has such a wonderful, and inviting ambience for young and older people, and has a very family oriented vibe to it!! Finally, the new big reveal.. it's the Mika's Salad... somehow, the chef Dušanka came up with a perfect medley of greens, spinach, heart of palm, black olives, garbanzo chickpeas, delicious sprinkling of feta cheese and pine nuts and to top it off, request two velvety poached eggs that sit delicately on this bed of goodness, you will keep coming back!!

I'd call myself a frequent customer of this establishment at this point. I love their menu, their…read moredrinks usually rock and the food is pretty satisfactory, but I've just had so many unpleasant encounters with one staff member at this point that I'm not sure how to feel. I'm not sure of their name but I believe they work in the kitchen/back, but they don't act like it. Whenever I come in and this person is working I know almost immediately, either by the way they incessantly hover over the poor workers at the front or if I'm getting gypped in my food portions. I understand how stressful a morning rush can be at a small cafe, but I wouldn't call it an excuse for having my meal come out half assed. I've come in during hectic hours on different occasions and not once has my food come out quite as poor. There was one instance when my avocado toast looked like the avocado had barely coughed on the toast. I can't imagine how hard it is on everyone else to have to work with this person as I've had a pleasant experience every other time. The gamble of going in with the chance this person is working is making it not worth it at this point.

I tried their salmon toast and the kids tried their sweet crepe. All very yummy. My husband got something with bacon and eggs on top of hash browns and that was equally delicious. I think this place is better suited to come with a friend or two. Not a huge area for sitting so if you're looking for a place for a large group, you might want to try a different place. Saying that, its such a cute place to meet up with a friend or two or even a casual date. :) I havent tried their coffee, but a lit of people were order them. Next time I'll have to try some.
