Stopped by here on a Friday class. Located in an industrial area it is kind of random where the location is. Parking sucks a little bit of plenty of street parking. We ordered the Mia café, breakfast and Chilaquiles. Both are very aesthetically appealing and also very filling. About $19 per plate. Don't forget about their lattes it is excellent! Service is good attentive and they were incredibly accommodating. I'd like to come back and try their things on the menu.

I haven't been eating a lot since my surgery but today I woke up and had an ungodly craving for chilaquiles. I did a quick yelp search and this place came up. (I never would of known about this place if it wasn't for Yelp) I only live a couple miles from here. It is tucked away It has private parking and some outdoor and indoor seating (again, would not of known about this place if it wasn't for yelp) Maria greeted us and told us to sit anywhere. In the middle of waiting for, Maria to take our order, I got extremely sick. Between not eating much lately, the medication from surgery and the pain, it felt like I was going to faint and I started to get shaky. I came here with my mom, so she went to the counter to see if there was anything small and already made that I could eat In a hurry. Carlos, overheard everything and started getting me some country potatoes. Which came to the table within 2 minutes. I am extremely thankful for this and honestly, some places wouldn't have done this / made it a priority. So right out the gate, 5 stars for service. (When the bill came they didn't even charge me for them) after we paid, I went to the back and thanked Carlos. Now with that out of the way The place is really cute. It's your typical breakfast/brunch/lunch place that closes at 2:30 They have a simple brunch menu. They have your breakfast burritos, wagyu brunch burger, omelets and their the churro French toast looked amazing!! We got plain pancakes and they did have sugar free syrup, which is a bonus. Not all places have it Chilaquiles - you can pick between green sauce, red sauce or creamy chipotle sauce. I LOVE any kind of chipotle sauce. So I asked if they could do the red sauce and chipotle sauce. (The creamy chipotle was out of this world) it came with beans and country potatoes. Maria asked if I wanted eggs or meat, I declined. I also asked for no onions or cilantro. Which is exactly how it came out. The beans were also amazing. They tasted fresh and homemade. Nothing was overly salty This place also had a good size selection of drinks (such as different coffees) however, I did not notice if they had mimosas and other alcohol beverages. Cute little atmosphere Good menu and good food And I'm really thankful for the service. Staff went above and beyond I would 100 percent come back. It had a good steady amount of people, I wish it wasn't so tucked away, so more people knew it was here if you drove past it

Cute brunch spot. It gets packed on the weekend. Food was good and service was nice. There is street parking.

Steak & eggs
Jennifer C.

This is my second time coming here , the service is always so welcoming , Maria was our server & she was so kind . The food here is good , today I got the steak & eggs , medium rare , it was perfectly cooked . The potatoes here are good , not to salty or bland . My friend got the chilaquiles, he said it was also really good , he got half red & green salsa with steak added . The cafe de olla they serve is so good , as well as the Jamaica . The restaurant itself if diner style , colorful . We will definitely be back !

The Fancy 3 Leches Toast
Shawna H.

Pleasant surprise for a small restaurant with one cook and picnic tables outside. The food was so good and the service super friendly and efficient. Off the beaten path, so it wasn't as crowded as some restaurants at the center of town. We didn't have 45 minutes to wait on a Saturday morning so called Mia's and found there was a 10-15 minute wait. While there was a steady stream of guests, not a lot of waiting for tables. Really pleasant experience!

Mia's Cafe is tucked away a few blocks off Willow Ave, and unless you work in that commercial area you'd never know it even existed. Mia's is a cute little place that has a fun French vibe, but a more Hispanic menu. Don't get me wrong, the food was good, and the serving size was pretty decent, but I felt like there was a bit of an identity crisis happening. Parking was easy, and there's patio seating, so if it's a nice day, you can sit in the sun and enjoy your coffee and pancakes. Our server was great and on point. The meals weren't too pricy, and pretty much what you'd expect to pay nowadays. Overall we enjoyed our first visit. Be sure to check them out if you're tired of the usual breakfast spots in Signal Hill/Long Beach.

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.

Came here with a big party of 10 the food was authentic & flavorful. Spectacular service! All the dishes were delicious. The chilaquiles were definitely tasty. I also tried the ice coffees and they were good! Our server was really attentive. Will definitely be coming back!

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!

Menu as of 4/4/26
Sandy H.

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.

Anita G.

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.

Croque Monsier. I spread a light layer of the Chipotle sauce and added the banana peppers. It enhanced the flavor and was so good. 10/10

The matcha latte was too sweet, and had a stronger than normal bitter aftertaste. The drinks were average. Service, though, was very good, both the young man at the register and the young lady who called out our order were friendly and professional. I would go further - to Da Vien or Trung Nguyen for the flavors we tried here. UPDATE: Thanks for the clarification, Reina. I did not say that artificial banana flavoring was used. Perhaps I'm not accustomed to tasting cheong, which I believe is a fermentation process of fruit. I didn't taste a a "strong" banana flavor. It was actually a subtle banana flavor. There was an aftertaste that I did not expect and not anything I've tasted in banana lattès from other shops. Maybe it's just my palate. Also, when we ordered we had wanted a vanilla matcha lattè. However, we were told that the matcha is pre-sweetened and that vanilla could not be added because it would make the drink too sweet, so I'm not certain how the sweetness can be adjusted if the batched matcha is already sweetened. Thank you again for the response and the best of luck with your business.

Thursday comedy night they host there (they aren't *normally* open as late as they were both times I was there, if anyone was wondering why I was *drinking* so much wine and beer while I was here - but my understanding is it seems they do always *have* wine and beer, anyway.) So as far as that goes, they have a couple wines, a red and a white, I'm not sure if they change, but as of when I was there, the white was pretty good, the red (a cab) was super good. They're also not cheap, at 12 bucks a glass, but I was there to support them for hosting great local comedy obviously. Their beer is also local and craft - they also only have a couple, and one's always a pilsner (I've never liked pilsners personally), but the other, when I was there, was a great local lager (also a lot cheaper, at $6.50.) If you're there at a more normal time for more normal coffee shop type products, though they are also great. The first time I was there, I didn't have any coffee drinks, but the second time, I felt like I could use the caffeine, tried their tiramisu latte, which I absolutely recommend. I also had a chocolate croissant with it, which I can also totally recommend. Maybe not as good as the best chocolate croissant I've ever had, but that was also in France. It's a lot cheaper than flying to France.

They have a very, very small parking lot off to the side of the building and you can only use the right side because the left parking spaces is reserved for the other building. You're better off finding street parking.

Cool, they can make it. what I got was a cup of coffee in a to go cup (even though I was dining in) with milk and a foam, so really what I got was a flat white. the other coffee ordered was a latte which was pretty standard I ordered the chicken sandwich ($12) which comes on a biscuit and a side of fruit, to round it out I also ordered the yogurt bowl which is yogurt and granola. When the sandwich came out it looked rather disappointing. The biscuit itself is small, probably the size of a Pillsbury dough biscuit, and the chicken wasn't much bigger. nothing else on it like a green, coleslaw, sauce, etc. just these two items. However, it did come with a side of a honey butter. the side of fruit was about 8 pieces split between pineapple, melon, and grapes. the whole sandwich was dry, which can be expected from a biscuit, but this was just too dry for me. the yogurt bowl($8) came in a small bowl that had a large flaring, basically the entire dish was large but the bowl portion was small. I eat yogurt everyday and the amount you get is probably half the size of a standard serving of yogurt (170g) and it was sparsely sprinkled with granola. my partner ordered a chorizo burrito ($15) and while she raved about the flavor the size of it was laughable, especially considering there are plenty of spots in LB that serve double or even triple the size of this burrito at or near the same price lastly, and the most disappointing of all, was the cinnamon roll($8). they were on display at the register and figured yeah I want one of those and instead of giving it to me right then and there it was brought with the rest of the food but it was not warmed up, which made me question why I waited for it. It was rool temp, burnt, and hard. I do want to try other items but the price you pay for what you get, especially considering this experience I had, is off putting.
