Turkey Club
Angie M.

This is a small restaurant with really good food! Parking was a bit of a challenge, but was able to park out on the street. We were three, and there was a bit of a wait as there are minimal tables. I had the turkey club and it was amazing. I am not often a fan of sandwiches so that is saying a lot. The service was very friendly and if I am ever back in the area I would definitely go again!

After a 12-hour night shift, I had to get my tires fixed and ended up handing my car over to the capable hands of the shop. With some time to spare, I walked down to Mia's Cafe--and I'm glad I did. This is a cute, family-owned café with a welcoming feel. I ordered a coffee (of course!) and the avocado toast--something light enough to keep me going without putting me to sleep. And let me just say... this was real avocado toast, not guacamole spread. It came with a fried egg, bacon, spinach, and fresh sliced avocado, and it was satisfying and well put together. Nothing over-the-top, just a solid, enjoyable breakfast. Service was great--I was greeted warmly, attended to quickly, and my food came out fast, which was exactly what I needed after a long shift. Overall, a nice, easy stop for a quick bite and good service. They also have outdoor seating. Parking is challenging but still doable.

Ribeye & pork belly burrito with side of potatoes
Erika M.

Highly highly reccomend stopping into Mia's Cafe! The food is truly delicious ! We came in on Saturday morning around noon and only had to wait to be seated about 10 mins or so! As we waited, we ordered a hazelnut ice coffee, which was delightful. When we sat down, we each ordered burritos - modified! I asked for mine with chicken and no pico de gallo. My only knock down was, they didnt put the country potatoes in my burrito. Only on the side! But honestly, the burrito was so delicious, I couldnt even complain! My gf ordered the ribeye burrito but with an addition of pork belly! She absolutely loved it! The meat was tender and the pork belly was melt in your mouth worthy! As we were waiting to eat, we spotted some people next to our table ordered Cafe De Olla! My gf was curious...so of course we ordered it! And look, when i tell you that i don't like coffee and I thought this was NEXT LEVEL....is not a lie! Haha! I cannot rave about it enough! We will be coming back for that alone! We also ordered a side of fruit, which was just right! And a cup of hot water! Anthony, who was our server, was marvelous! He was super helpful in our modifications and was kind and hospitable! So if Anthony is there, give him some love! All in all, the place is wonderful! Not a lot of seating. But they have both indoor and outdoor! The space is a bit tight, but honestly, thats never a big deal for us! There is plenty of street parking if you can't find any in the lot!!! Seriously! Make your way out!!!

Menu as of 4/4/26

Located in an industrial area. There's limited parking space in the lot but there's also street parking. This replaced what used to be Shirley's Temple. There's picnic tables outside and smaller tables available on the inside. We were seated on arrival around 10 am, but there was a slight wait once we were finished. The prices are average and menu isn't overwhelming. Our server was attentive and friendly. I ordered Mia's breakfast platter, which came with eggs, bacon, chicken sausage and my choice of French toast or pancakes. Everything tasted decent except the house potatoes were slightly undercooked in my opinion. Side note: The restroom is slightly hidden around a corner so signage directing customers to it would be helpful.

I found this place because it appeared on my Instagram feed and decided to try it out! Mia's café can be located in an industrial area in Smill Hill, which is part of Long Beach. There was plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating. The waiter was outside and kept the door open for us. We sat down immediately. There were a couple of other tables. It seemed like our waiter was solo, but he handled all the guest very well. I believe our waiter's name is Marvin, he was polite, attentive, and had a great customer service with everyone. My daughter and I ordered the Chilaquiles's with ribeye that came with eggs and potatoes and the fancy French toast. I wasn't sold under coffee either. I love me a good café diner coffee and this one just didn't give anything for me. We've had Chilaquiles's at other restaurants so we might be a little biased and we're not sold on them completely. They just lacked the right flavor and the ribeye had tons of fat. We were hoping that they had a different type of steak for them, but we left most of the meat on the plate because of the fat. The French toast was amazing! The presentation and the flavors were all there. There is a cream cheese frosting in between the French toast. That was amazing. Prices were a little higher than I expected for the location. Overall, it's a nice spot for breakfast/lunch.

Pork Belly Brunch Burrito
Dezmond B.

Was in the Long Beach area and stopped by Mia's Cafe for a late breakfast--and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Pork Belly Brunch Burrito, and it was absolutely amazing. The pork belly was cooked to perfection--tender, flavorful, and they definitely don't skimp on the portion size. Every bite was packed with flavor. Pro tip: ask for their spicy hot sauce--it's not automatically served, but it takes the burrito to another level. The burrito also came with a side of potatoes and peppers, which were a great complement to the meal and well-seasoned. The outdoor seating area really added to the experience. It has a relaxed, laid-back vibe that's perfect for enjoying a slow brunch, especially with the Long Beach weather. On top of that, the staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which made the visit even better. Overall, Mia's Cafe is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. I'll be back for sure.

I got the avocado toast with egg and cafe de olla! Omg it was the best breakfast. Everything tasted fresh and delicious! Loved it!

Churros and ice cream
Karina G.

It definitely is off the beat and path but the it has a 4.5 on here. Parking is limited, you have to park on the street, which there is plenty of. I happen to be off early and my friend that I was hanging with likes to try new places. Right off the bat server was great but it took a long time to get anything we ordered. Even to get a refill on coffee. Breakfast sandwich was very tasty, bacon was cooked as ordered and potatoes were delicious wish for a bigger portion served. Although he mentioned desserts are not made in house I still went for Cheesecake, ahhhh I could have done without. I appreciate the glaze and blueberries, it made it palatable. A negative would be they close early.

Mia's Breakfast Platter with pancakes
Viola L.

Finding Mia's Kitchen in Signal Hill can be a bit of a challenge, but it is clearly a local favorite because even on a Monday morning, nearly every table was packed. The menu offers a great Mexican-American breakfast fusion, and after trying the food, it is easy to see why the place stays so busy. We both went with Mia's breakfast platter, one with pancakes and the other with French toast and paired them with a hazelnut latte that was honestly incredible. The espresso was super smooth with the perfect amount of sweetness, and as someone who is usually sensitive to lactose, I was thrilled that it didn't cause any of the usual bloating. The food itself was just as impressive as the coffee. The pancakes hit that elusive balance of being a little sweet, a little savory, and slightly crispy around the edges. They avoided that common issue of being too dry or heavy on the batter, making them incredibly easy to enjoy. The French toast was equally amazing, clearly made with a high-quality brioche that was rich and buttery. Even the sides stood out; the sausage was perfectly salty in the best way possible. While you might have to hunt a little to find the front door and should definitely expect a longer wait on the weekends, the quality of the meal makes it well worth the effort. They have seatings inside and outside. Pretty nice to sit outside on a sunny day.

Paola M.

Small little joint but we were seated fairly quickly, within 15 minutes, for Saturday brunch around noon. Place was clean, service was great, the iced coffees were delicious (not too strong and not too sweet), food was good - would come back to try some of their other plates! Also, there is a small parking lot and also lots of street parking available so that wasn't a struggle.

Turkey club with potatoes.
Barney L.

First time coming here. The food is great and also the cafe de la olla is very good. Super happy customer here. I will definitely be back next week

Aurora G.

Excellent service! Good food. Place super clean. Was my first time eating in this restaurant.... Thank you your hospitality Marvin . Definitely we will come back!

Happy and satisfied after our burritos (we forgot to  take pics!)
Beth O.

Mia's was the perfect halfway place between where I live and a friend lives. We met there today for lunch and we're served by Marvin an excellent waiter! My friend and I hadn't seen each other in quite a few years so we ended up talking way past finishing our meal and Marvin was very accommodating and refreshed. Our water kept checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed while not pressuring us to leave. About the food... We both were intrigued by the ribeye burrito and Marvin said it was one of the best things on the menu so we trusted him and he did not lie. We both loved it and the potatoes that came with. It were so good so perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside . Perfect perfection! I kind of wish we had tried two different things, but will be back to do exactly that sometime soon. The churros are next level! This picture does not describe how good they taste. Mia is tucked away in an industrial area so you know the food is good. Because it appeared to be the only restaurant in that area and is probably frequented by a lot of people that work there so you know to have longevity you have to have good food and Mia's has it in spades! Thank you, Marvin for your excellent service and care and your great photography skills!

Most people come here for their matcha so I'd have to give that a try next time. While there is a parking lot, parking was a bit challenging as this coffee shop is in the same lot as a lot of other businesses.

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers.

I noticed on this visit that some of the tables had fluffy blankets over the chairs, since it was a little cooler out that morning, which was a very nice touch. The owner was also making the rounds, stopping at every table to welcome and check in with the guests. That kind of care makes a big impression and I believe it's a big part of their success. I haven't been for dinner yet, but the owner let me know they have live music some nights and I would love to check that out.
