    Chorizo y Huevo Scramble
    Jordan E.

    Came to the cafe on a random Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised that such a local spot could deliver such amazing quality food. Both pancakes and the scramble were superb. The hashbrowns perfectly golden which is funnily enough hard to get at cafe/diner nowadays. The jalapeño's in the scramble were also delicious with plenty of flavor. Will definitely be returning with the great service as well. My only critique is the ambience is cute and quaint, but to perhaps raise the volume on the music. The entire time you can hear the fridge display louder than anything else in here

    Nice breakfast place that has a wide selection and good quality. Came right at the crack of dawn when they opened and was greeted with a warm welcome. The food was decent and a nice start to the morning. Portions were a bit lacking but overall ok value.

    We decided to try this on Mothers Day to go. The French toast and waffles were definitely the best part, my kids enjoyed them. The only thing that was disappointing was the Pulled Pork sandwhich, sadly the buns were the main part of the sandwhich, I had to remove most of the buns and pick it apart because of the Lack of actual pork. The sandwhich was very sad, it just kinda sucked considering I ordered from here because of the sandwich.

    Granny's Hash with sourdough. Amazing.

    I've only gotten pick up from here (twice) but each time it is such a solid breakfast meal! The inside is casual with lots of seating, even some seating at the bar. I sat at the bar while I waited for my food. Service was friendly as well The corn beef breakfast meal is my favorite. I got it with scrambled eggs and hash browns and it was beyond perfect. The eggs were fluffy and the hash browns had the best crust. Sour dough toast was delish as well, however I would like two pieces not just one. I also got a pancake and chose bacon and chocolate chips as toppings. It came out as one large pancake with the bacon on top and mini chocolate chips in a container. It was delicious as well. I also got a fresh squeezed orange juice, which was decent. Would repeat this meal in a heart beat!

    The food was phenomenal. We had the Morning Burger and ultimate fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was spicy but the coleslaw balanced it well. I will be returning.

    Mikayla's is a OG bay area brunch spot that has been long standing classic that everyone frequents They deliver high quality food and great service to everyone! This is one of two locations and both locations have high quality food! Overall great place for brunch or breakfast! May get busy at peak hours I definitely recommend any of their pancakes and eggs benedict as all of them taste fresh and in house made! Their hashbrowns are also unique and has very good texture and flavor

    Chicken fried steak is wonderful. Gravy is flavored, consistent and tasty. The hash browns were fried, buttery and well seasoned. The coffee drinks are delicious too

    Crepe Southbay Style

    Lovely little spot for breakfast or brunch. We stopped there while in town for Metallica weekend!!!! Service was friendly and prompt, outdoor seating was comfy and shaded. The staff was attentive to umbrella positions and making sure you're comfortable. The prices were reasonable. I wish I had paid attention to their coffee options before ordering a regular cup of coffee but I was happy that they offered Oatmilk and other non-dairy options. We had the crepes, South Bay style... hella good! The toasted coconut was the perfect addition. We also had the chicken and waffle, the waffle was perfect. The chicken was good, but more Asian style in the batter so included a little cornstarch to keep the batter crispy and the chicken tender - I just don't like the texture it gives the meat - personal issue lol We will definitely return next time we are in town! Oh added bonus - they didn't make you feel rushed, even with a line of people waiting for tables.

    Eggs Benedict wonderful

    Friendly with huge portions. This neighborhood has slim pickings for brunch so we were happy to find it!

    When there's a line, stop here!

    I was in town for the Metallica concerts and staying at the Aloft Santa Clara. I was looking for a great spot for breakfast and hit a home-run with my decision to eat at Mikayla's Café on Tasman Drive. I knew I must have pick the right spot when I arrive and found a line outside waiting for seating. That's always a great sign you've picked a popular place. I went inside and put my name on the wait list and in about 15 minutes, I was seated on a Satruday morning. My biggest decision was selecting what I wanted to eat. The menu is packed with so many delectable breakfast items. I went with the Hot Mama signature scramble and it was super tasty and a large portion. Loved the spicy Cajun sausage, with onions, bell peppers and mushrooms. I saw lots of diners ordering drinks served in a large glass mug and handle and said I got to get one of those. The iced coffee was delish. Super efficient and friendly service. Can't wait to come back on Sunday for round #2.

    First, the customer service was extremely unprofessional. I came in for a pickup order and was told "they're making it" without the employee even asking for my name or confirming the order. When I followed up because the app showed the order as ready, she responded with "I don't know." No effort to check or communicate. just attitude. When I asked if she could check, she went to the back visibly irritated, talking to another employee with an attitude and making faces the entire time. It was unprofessional and honestly unnecessary. Then to make matters worse, when we opened the food, there was a bug inside one of the containers. At that point, no one in our group felt comfortable eating anything from the order. Between the poor service and the serious food safety issue, this experience was unacceptable. I would not recommend this place.

    Country Skillet
    Lili M.

    Came here on a trip to Great America as our pit stop / breakfast of the day. We randomly found this place online when looking for some where to eat. The restaurant is small, but it's clean and the staff were friendly. It was slow and quiet when we came and our food came out pretty quick I would say. We all ordered different things and in general we enjoyed the food. I had gotten a country skillet that was potatoes, eggs, and country gravy. It was super filling! Other people in the group got French toast and a breakfast sandwich and they liked their choices. My coffee was ok, not very strong, and the hot chocolate also lacked flavor. If I was in the area I would come back and try some other things.

    We were seated right away for Sunday lunch. Most tables were taken and it's not a big restaurant but luckily didn't have the overcrowded vibe. I got the All American Favorite and chose bacon, poached eggs, hashbrowns, and sourdough toast. Can't really go wrong with these classic breakfast items and I had no complaints! Tried the buttermilk pancake too which was my favorite item! It was fluffy and so good with the powdered sugar, butter, and syrup. Food came out pretty quickly and service was good. Would come back!

    No longer serve vegan wrap and wasn't offered any other vegan options. Meat lovers had great experience and love their milkshakes as well.

Toni worked with me over the phone to make it happen, and when there was a small miscommunication about the vibe I was going for, she course-corrected instantly -- not just in communication but in the actual setup. That kind of pivot is rare. The outside area was ideal for our group of roughly 60 throughout the day -- a mix of high tops, low tops, and couches that gave everyone somewhere to land. Heat lamps on when we needed them, off when we asked. Ellie and Shailyn were exceptional the entire time. I had to leave before I could personally thank the staff, which I regretted -- so I'm saying it here. This was exactly what I hoped it would be for my dad. Thank you, Toni, Ellie, and Shailyn. -- Anton

First, I like the glass. There are stained glass windows at the front and in the ceiling that add beauty and character. It was order at the counter, seat yourself, and pickup your own food. This made it faster, which was appreciated. The chicken burgers feature thighs, not breasts, which means someone here has a brain. THANK YOU! They did had Gluten Free buns available, too. Thursday night, it was noisy but no judgement. Husband got mushroom burger, came with chips. Enjoyed. I got a bacon bbq chicken burger. Decent. Gluten Free buns tend to crumble and that's life. Came with chips. We also ordered a side of bacon and cheddar fries. I thought they were stale, sadly. Like they were made from old fries and then cheese added or created as held until ready. There is a large outdoor patio that looks dog friendly. I think we should try this place again.
