Came here in need of breakfast and Mika's did not disappoint. I opted for a Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast and it was pretty good! I got nice fatty flavors from the avocado and smoked salmon. The capers on top added a little zing to my bites. read more

Cute little shop! The breakfast croissant and strawberry matcha were both delicious. Only con is it was pretty pricey for breakfast, but the great flavors did make up for the price. The cashier was very friendly and helpful with the order :) I would definitely come back to try some of their signature lattes! read more

Took a drive and wanted to grab a coffee I found this place , super cute inside and clean. They recommended the homemade blueberry scone with the jelly . 1000/10 recommend! Cookie butter ice latte was also good with a fresh baked cookie on the lid which I loved . Wait was a bit long ( only customers in there ) other wise very nice staff and was apologetic for the wait as they noticed we were waiting a while . read more

Mika's was a great spot to stop into to get some work done. All of the employees were extremely nice and polite. The restaurant is small but has a decent amount of seating at tables and couches. There is also an outdoor area with a few tables. I am very picky about my matcha and theirs is definitely a good one! It was a vibrant green with an earthy and sweet taste. The poached egg avocado toast was great! The bread was amazing!! Definitely would come back here and am excited to try more on their menu. read more

We stopped by for a light breakfast and glad we did. The breakfast croissant was warm, crispy, and flavorful with perfectly melted cheese. The avocado toast was the standout, fresh, delicious flavor, and great bread. The crepe was light, fluffy, and served hot. The guava danish was tasty, though it had a little too much guava filling for my liking. I also tried the cinnamon latte. It was good, but next time I'd probably try a different coffee. The mango cake pastry wasn't for me since it was a bit too sweet. Seating is limited, with mostly two-person tables and a few couches. It was also a little pricey, we spent over $77 for what was more of a light breakfast than a full meal. Overall, I'm glad we tried it. I'd definitely come back and be a little more selective since I now know the menu. It's a great spot for a light breakfast or coffee. read more

I absolutely love this place. Anytime I'm in the area, this is my go to for quality coffee and a great breakfast sandwich. 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. read more

We were greeted really well here. I asked about the coffee. They said it was roasted locally, but they couldn't tell me from what country they were sourced from. I tend to not like not knowing that but I had the flat white. It tasted very good, possibly Colombian blend of sorts. I'd like that they had children's toys in a corner where a child could play while adults could have coffee. I noticed a lot of their food items looked very delicious and well done. I also ordered a cookie. I thought it was a bit sweet but all in all it's a great place. read more

First time visiting this restaurant with a group of friends yesterday. Right off the bat there is very limited seating at this shop. The seating and tables were also not maintained, there were cups and dishes and food debris all over several of the tables and no customers were at them. The shop wasn't very busy so I'm not sure why these table weren't cleaned up. We had a group of 6 total, and we had to move tables and chairs together in order for us to sit together. There is only one large table and of course it was already taken. The other areas with couches had such low tables at them that there was no way you could dine there comfortably. We ordered a few different items off the menu but my absolute favorite was the breakfast croissant. I highly recommend it. It had great flavor, it was a complete breakfast and was fresh. The small side of cantaloupe was like a child's portion though. We did go back and order more because we were still hungry so if you're a big eater this place can get pricey. I ordered the toffee decaf iced latte as it was recommended by my friend, but it definitely didn't taste like decaf. It was still super strong so just a heads up if that is something you would be interested in. Overall this place wasn't bad, if you're looking to eat somewhere as a group of 4 or more I'd recommend you go elsewhere. read more

I had been wanting to try this coffee shop for quite a while, and every time I was in the area, I somehow forgot to stop by. I finally made it in, and unfortunately, it wasn't what I had hoped for. I ordered a Honey Lavender Iced Latte, but I couldn't taste any lavender flavor at all. My husband also wasn't a fan of his drink. Sadly, neither of us really enjoyed our coffees, and I don't think it's a place I would go out of my way to revisit. The coffee shop itself is small and in a crowdedshopping center. While the pastries looked delicious, I don't really remember much about the customer service--it just wasn't particularly memorable. If I do decide to give it another chance, I may try one of the pastries and hope for a better experience. read more

Cozy lil coffee shop with amazing treats; scones, avocado toast, pastries. The owner is most kind and sweet...great atmosphere.

They have a huge selection and everything is delicious! I was starving and devoured their pesto panini, it was delicious. I was having a hard time picking which pastry I want - so many options, I have to go back soon! The sour cherry philo pastry was incredible - not too sweet, I could eat them every day! I love tiramisu and their small tiramisu cakes are adorable and delicious! I absolutely love when a pastry is beautiful and tasty and their mango cake pastry was delicious! The team is very friendly and welcoming. They also have many drinks and refrigerated beverages. I'm planning to try their matcha next time. Highly recommend it! read more

This is my second review of Mika's.. I am a regular/frequent visitor here..there are many reasons, first and foremost being the great healthy and scrumptious breakfast and lunch options besides its plethora of amazing coffee and tea choices... 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!! read more

I've brought a few people to Mika's, and everyone has loved it so far! I really dig the vibes of the cafe. 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! read more

This was my first time here and I loved the aesthetics and atmosphere. The employees were super helpful and friendly, which made the experience even better. I ordered avocado toast with scrambled eggs, and it came with a small kale salad and cantaloupe. Everything tasted fresh. The toast was thick but didn't overpower the other ingredients, and I especially loved that it came with pickled red onions. I asked for a side of balsamic vinaigrette, which paired perfectly with the toast. Overall, a great experience. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Drove by and had to stop for a quick coffee while I continued running my errands. This cute little coffee shop is location in a busy shopping center. What makes it stands out to me is the cute space they created with fresh flowers on each table, variety of board games, and ample seating. The menu is extensive with a variety of drinks to fit anyone's palette! I ordered their new toffee latte. It was delicious, a little sweet for my tastes, but still well balanced and something I'd get again when I'm in the area as long as I remember to stop by before they close in the mid afternoon! read more

This was our first visit to Mika's. What a great discovery! Lovely cafe setting with outdoor tables surrounded by flowering plants. Our latte's were excellent, and the scone delicious! The personal service was wonderful too. We wish they were closer to our home in Vista so we could visit more often. read more

Not sure how this gets its rating. Definitely not a 4.8. Bathroom locked from the inside so my wife and daughter waited and waited only to find out no one was in there. Menu is just ok. Breakfast plate came with frozen hash brown patties and one strip of backing cut into two pieces. Took a while to get our food. Not enough seating. We won't be back. read more

After a meeting at City Hall, I came here with my mom, who had a doctor's appointment just down the road. We stopped in for lunch and it ended up being the most pleasant surprise. The high reviews were super reassuring, and after our visit, I know I made the right move choosing Mika's. First of all, the Spanish latte was hands down the best coffee I've ever had in my life. Light, smooth, not bitter at all and just absolute perfection. My mom got a dirty chai, which was bold, flavorful, and comforting. She said this is the best cup of charge she's had since the past 20 years! I ordered the avocado toast with poached eggs, topped with roasted red peppers, pickled onions, and pumpkin seeds. It was fresh, balanced, and delicious. It came with a small side salad and fresh cantaloupe, which made the meal feel complete. We also shared a pitaya bowl, which was bright, refreshing, and packed with fruit, granola, coconut, and texture. Not overly sweet, just right. What stood out most? The staff. One person made our drinks and cooked the food, all while being professional, calm, and incredibly kind. That kind of care and work ethic is rare. These kinds of interactions with small businesses are exactly what help invest in the kind of treatment, service, and community we want for ourselves and for the generations to come. Corporate chains can't replicate this. Mika's is authentic, clean, welcoming, and full of heart. I'll be coming back for sure. This place deserves all the love it gets. read more

My sister and I found Mika's on yelp & were excited to try their menu based on all of the great reviews. It was fairly busy, many people seemingly working remotely. We ordered 2 iced matcha lattes, the poached egg avocado toast and greek yogurt fruit bowl and had a seat outside. The environment felt homey and the food I do believe was made with love. However, the avocado toast was lacking seasoning and flavor in my personal opinion. I wouldn't recommend the matcha to anyone. It tasted like green milk, which we were kindly given an extra shot of matcha powder for free but it just wasn't good. All of this said, not the worst experience we've had but for around $50 for the two of us we were disappointed. read more

My wife and I tried Mika's for the first time yesterday and it didn't disappoint. We tried one of their omelettes, along with a prosciutto and burrata on toast. Everything was fresh, along with the fruit it came with. The lattes were equally delicious, and the service was exceptional. The guy Adrian was super nice, and gave me a heads up to try the scones and cookies, which we brought home for later. They were incredible! This is a great spot, a little tricky to find, but hope others continue to discover this hidden gem! read more

The cook was very unfocused & cashier failed to wear gloves yet put a straw in my drink after touching different appliances. I had to ask for a covered straw. They also included an allergy on our food that was specifically told to remove & was on the receipt. I was told that the cook was on a financial aid call as the reason for the mess up. However, we could've ended up having serious issues due to this mishap. Its proper business etiquette to step away when dealing with personal issues. read more

Ran into Mika's randomly. I ordered the latte and it is delicious! Their pastries are amazing. I tasted the creme brûlée croissant which is phenomenal. Will return just for that.

This cafe is hidden away in the Nordahl marketplace off Center Dr! It is small, but has both indoor and outdoor seating. I came here to get some work done and try the matcha. The inside is relaxing as they have couches and tables available. They have fast wifi and the service is friendly. They will bring you your order to the table. I enjoyed my matcha and will definitely be coming back to try out their other food and drinks. They also have a punch card where you can buy 9 drinks and get a free one on your tenth visit!

I'm so delighted my coworkers and I stumbled upon this place when we craved an avocado toast. Then to find out its near my house was just the cherry on top. The place was busy so there was a bit of a wait. The cashier was delayed due to a lot of drink orders before us. We were memorized watching him do that foam art on top of the various drinks. When it was our turn to order, it was nothing bit friendly service filled with jokes and giggles. My food came out fairly quick and so did the food for one of my co workers. Our third, on the other hand, was initially brought the wrong order. I was already half way done when she finally got her smoked salmon avocado toast. It looked amazing and with a generous amount of smoked salmon. By the time we finished, she still hadn't received her pistachio croissant and had to remind them about it. At this point she got her to go. I on the other hand, got my food first and it was absolutely delicious! I'm not a fan of tajin so I didn't eat the melon but the small salad that came with my toast was great. The toast itself was large and filling. The pistachio croissant was a surprise. We didn't expect this cream filled monstrosity. But, boy, am I glad that is what came out. I was already bursting at the seams however, I had to try it and once I started, I couldn't stop. It was so good. I was so impressed with this place that the next day I insisted on my husband and I going there. As for the space itself, I love that there is a small shelving unit filled with games and toys giving both children and adults games to play. I think adds an extra touch of fun. When we were there, it was clearly busy and the tables were not getting cleared. When we sat down, our table was a bit sticky. I'd suggest hiring another person to clear tables and run fun/ drinks instead of having the cashier do it. read more

My initial thought when walking in was HOW CUTE! They definitely have very festive holiday decor in there at the moment. Their staff is also very sweet and helpful! I was accompanied by my friend, instead of just getting coffee we decided to sit down and have breakfast as well. I would suggest coming here with one or two other people max, the space is not huge and the tables fit about two people comfortably. They do have a full kitchen, which is a nice change from the ordinary coffee shop where they can only offer premade meals that they just heat up. They also have a variety of baked goods off to the side that look delicious. I will have to snag something from there next time. As for food ratings, we ordered the following: Poached egg avocado toast: 8/10 The eggs were fresh and perfectly poached. Everything bagel with cream cheese: 10/10 It is your standard bagel, it was delicious! Plain Latte: 10/10 Very delicious latte! Blood orange hibiscus tea: 10/10 I like that they let me make my own tea combination. Perfect for this weather, I would just maybe like to have it come with a side of honey to control the sweetness. Although, that is a preference and not a deal breaker. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and have recommended it to a few people since visiting. I will definitely be back! read more

I visited this coffee shop on my birthday and was looking forward to a nice experience. Unfortunately, the customer service was disappointing. The employee who helped me came across as grumpy and unfriendly, making me feel like I was inconveniencing them. A simple smile or kind attitude would have made a big difference, especially on a special occasion. It was my first time visiting your place. The coffee itself was good, but customer service is just as important. I hope management encourages staff to provide a more welcoming experience for everyone.
