This place looked like a great place to study! It was packed with people either reading, writing or on their computers. My boyfriend and I ordered the iced caramel latte. It hit the spot! It didn't have too much of a caramel taste to it though, which I was hoping that there would be more of in our drinks. Definitely a smaller, more local coffee shop with a nice vibe to it. read more

Coffee was ok. My only complaint was the cup itself. I grabbed a to-go order and the coffee spilled from underneath the lid and onto my white shirt (I wasn't even drinking out of it it was just splashing out from underneath as I was walking back to my car) :/ It looks like it's a known issue since there are 2 cups stacked? read more

Mishka's Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Ambience 4/5 Starting with hot, there are sensitive places to try to find parking in this town however, most of it is two hour parking. I am reviewing in the standpoint of studying so this is not exactly ideal. However, as I need a location this would be great. The interior of the coffee shop is very unique and very individualized. The tables and decor were carried over from the old location and I have been told that Mishka is a staple in the Davis community. Plenty of seating. But it has to be made known that the seating near the door is strictly enforced to be sit and chat/enjoy food and drinks, no studying. The seating further in is open for studying and using your laptop. Several locations for outlets along the wall which makes it very nice. Drink 4/5 $5 got a lavender latte 16oz. Im not even sure if there was really espresso in it, but it tasted almost like lavender tea in soy milk. Pretty tasty but light on the caffeine I believe. The drinks come in either 8/10oz?, 16oz, or 20oz. The mid is a great between :). Overall 3.5-4/5 Tasty drinks (heads the teas are better) but not a great place to study for too long. Especially since for WiFi you have to purchase something, get a special code that gives you WiFi for two hours only. Might be back to try something in the future! read more

This place has really great coffee. We went here twice during our quick trip to Davis. I ordered a cappuccino both times. Wish it came in a larger size! My daughter got a white mocha and my husband brewed coffee. All were good. We even bought some to take home with us! read more

My favorite coffee shop in Davis! They have a variety of pastries and drinks. I always get the chai latte with oat milk and honey. It doesn't have a strong spiced flavor but it has a nice ginger kick to it. The drink is very smooth with the oat milk and I love that they use Oatly! read more

HAVE AGAIN: Best hot chocolate in Davis! Much better than Peet's. Great outdoor seating.

My chai latte sucked, I don't have proof that this was the reason why but I think because I didn't tip they intentionally sabotaged my beverage. See the picture of this guy, that's how I feel rn. read more

Such a fun cafe! I love the inside because it's so cute with all of their fun signs :). I would've loved indoor dining but either way their service, coffee, and outdoor aesthetic is a 10/10! I got the Mishka's latte and my sister enjoyed a lavender latte and they were both amazing. If you're looking for a good classic vanilla latte then try out the mishka one! We also got a coffee cake and blueberry crumb cake which they are KNOWN for. So yummy! Highly recommend and will def be coming back read more

I finally had the chance to go to Mishka's just recently and I'm glad I got to explore this amazing spot. Going in, they have lots of space to sit & study and their drink options are endless with various teas and coffee drinks. They also have great baked goods, especially vegan ones too, so that was nice to see. I had gotten just an iced coffee with a piece of baklava and my friend got an iced chai latte with a gingersnap cookie. The iced coffee was smooth and pairing it with the baklava was a good choice since the baklava was sweet & somewhat sticky too. My friend enjoyed her chai latte & the gingersnap cookie was just perfect. I'll come here more often, either to study or just to grab my daily dose of caffeine! read more

The hotel's coffee was not very good. After checking Yelp to see which place had the best coffee Davis, it was a no brainer to come here. The only problem was that my GPS tried to get me lost by telling me that I had arrived when I was still a block away. Since it got me close, I was able to find Mishka's. There were a couple of people ahead of me when I arrived. The line moved pretty quickly. The server told me to get an espresso drink after I asked what they did best. I ended up getting a Latte. They were pretty quick in making it. After getting my drink, I was able to use their free wifi to check in. The Latte was good. I didn't have to add sugar in it. It was perfect the way they gave it to me. They gave it to me in a cup, as if I was going to drink it there. It made for a good picture. When I told them that I needed it in a to go cup, they gladly switched cups for me. They had lots of tables. However, a lot of them were taken at 7:45 AM. But, I did manage to find an empty table. Overall, it was a nice experience here. I'm sure I will be back when I am in the area again. read more

The owner is rude and it felt to me like he was being racist to me. He disrespected me and my wife as we sat outside at one of their tables mistakenly. He walked by and with no explanation, spoke at us rudely about using their table, which was an honest mistake, and continued to walk into the store without an explanation or any decency as human being or approach and talk to us politely or with respect. I was only brown person there and he did not treat the other non-brown people there the same way. I feel that if I were old and/or white, he would have approached me differently. While others may have great experience at Mishka's or with the owner, I wanted to share my specific experience. I've patronized Mishka's in the past with no other issues and enjoy their coffee, but today's interaction with the owner was uncalled for and unnecessary. He could have simply approached me and my wife politely except he chose the lesser path to treat a person of color as if I were a person that didn't deserve respect to be spoken to politely. I expect an established business like Mishka's to do a better job with treating people with respect in such a diverse town. This is my experience that I wanted to share. Mishka's itself is a great coffee shop, it's just too bad the owner choose a poor way to communicate with me today. I'm sure others have had great stories to share of the owner, but today is that today. He's lost my business indefinitely. read more

This is the best cafe in Davis. The inside is cozy, the drinks are delicious, and the baked goods are delectable. The art on the walls rotates monthly, always offering reasons to return to sit for a spell. I also like the ambient music. The personnel are friendly and quick. I have especially enjoyed interacting with the owner. His attention to quality, detail, and his customers is apparent, and refreshing. I really love this place. I can see why it is so popular! read more

I've been meaning to try Mishka's but haven't gone to davis often enough to stop by. I was finally able to stop by and the line was very long but they moved fairly quick. I got one of the seasonal drinks (I forgot the name) but it had raw honey in it. Super good. My bf got the cold brew as he does everywhere he goes and he really enjoyed it. They were open fully when I went and all the seats were taken inside and outside the shop and everyone looked to be enjoying their time. I will definitely come back again. read more

Cozy Cafe with great drinks and pastries. Ordered an iced maple latte and got a few treats. Everything was delicious. Will definitely come back again. Great customer service too. read more

This is the one coffee shop that opens till the latest (11pm) in Davis. Thank you! (I needed those late night hours at a coffee shop studying!) I love studying at coffee shops and this place not only provides a good amount of seating, it also provides plenty of electric outlets! There are so many students, as expected - especially during midterms or finals week. Sometimes I had to wait about ten minutes to get a seat. It isn't spacious enough for people to walk through the aisles/rows to get a seat. I feel like I would have to bother the person or people already seated when trying to get to a seat because the tables and seats are so narrowly placed next to each other. I love their cappuccinos! It is very frothy and the taste is clean. read more

I loved this little cafe or a quick coffee and oatmeal. The ambiance is really nice - warm and cozy. TONS of students studying and working on homework. Nice and friendly workers. Quick turn around on coffee and reasonable prices. You get two hours of free wifi with a purchase. The coffee was delicious and smooth. The toasted coconut oatmeal was yummy and plentiful. Great alternative to Five Bucks down the street. read more

First visit. Really happy my UC Davis daughter recommended Mishka's! First the coffee is organic and fair trade sourced. I tried the Dark Balkan Night and it was great. The pastry section looked great so I had a chocolate chip croissant and shard it with my wife and daughter. We all thought it was superb. Can't wait to go back! read more

mid tier drinks AND cruel to employees?? don't support this business yall I ordered a tasteless matcha and a very chemically tasting lavender latte on two separate occasions. i have never ordered something genuinely good here unfortunately and used to come in solely to say hi to other students and workers (at least the staff is always friendly and sweet). found out firsthand how abusive the owner speaks and texts employees and now i'll NEVER be back and will tell everyone i know how awful this place is. Respect your staff! read more

Snacks are good, flavor is okay, but at least make some latte art, how hard is that to do?? I could honestly say Starbucks is much better. The double chocolate chip oatmeal cookie and matcha shortbread were good for sure though. My latte tasted like I was drinking water with foam on top. It's like they have espresso on tap... And a suggestion, use cuter mugs, the mug I brought is an example. Have people donate mugs like some places in Sacramento do. read more

Been here my first time with a friend and enjoyed it The environment is nice and quiet for those who go here to study (free wifi is a plus) Ordered ice matcha blended and baklava and the drink was ok, not as sweet as I have expected. But this dessert was pretty good, but not worth the money for the small proportion to be honest Would i come back again: yes read more

Nice spit, good coffee and loose leaf tea. Being able to sit outside and watch people passing by a nice plus!

I love little coffee shops. My generation has an affinity for wood counters, good coffee, cozy environments, and downtown locations. Of course, large windows for natural lighting and the hustle and bustle of young students and professionals make for an even more exciting spot. Take all of that and add some house roasted beans and nice baristas and you've got Mishka's. If you're here and adventurous as I am, try out the Rose latte, it's delicious! read more

Best cafe in Davis hands down! I love the atmosphere, the drinks are 10/10, and I really recommend the baklava to anyone who comes by

Of the places I visited while in Davis, this spot was the coolest. A great community vibe and some delicious fare. Try a coffee or a croissant or a smoothie or a cookie... I don't think you'll be disappointed by anything here. Note... they charge an extra 20 cents for credit card transactions... weird. But the folks are friendly, the food and drinks are good, and don't forget to bus your own dishes. read more

The owner of this cafe is super rude and does not care about costume service at all. I will never give this place my business. The coffee is not even worth the penny that it's priced at. The place is super old and always packed. There are not enough outlets. The food is stale and old. The kitchen is super dirty. And it smells bad. Never coming back here ever again read more

I can't believe I haven't been to Mishka's until very recently! The place is super cute and great for studying with friends. They have a great variety of teas and pastries. I went for the Hazelnut Latte and it was delicious! read more

I stumbled across this little place a few months back when I was lost in Davis. I mean... I've had coffee cake in many places. I've visited to few other for states being in the military and a morning coffee with coffee cake is something I cannot resist. This is by far the best coffee cake I have ever had read more

This is a cute coffee shop in Davis that my mom and I chanced upon after having lunch in the area. The decor is rustic and homey feeling. I like that they have areas of the cafe that are marked as 'work free, laptop free' zones, allowing for patrons who are simply visiting for a cup of coffee and conversation to be able to find a seat. However, I'm not sure how strongly they enforce this rule because there were still a few individuals in the designated area obviously doing work. I didn't order anything out of the ordinary, so I don't have much to say about their coffee, but I definitely like this cafe for a good study spot! read more

Went here for a quick pick-me-up a couple days ago. I have studied here before and had some good tea while I was writing a paper. It is very small and cramped in the cafe. I enjoyed the variety of tea that they have but it was too crowded for my taste. I would not recommend this place for studying or doing work, but that's just my preference; many will disagree with me! This time around I had a single shot of espresso. I like the little chocolate espresso bean that comes with it. The little cup and saucer were pretty cute. It was a good little cup of espresso. The cafe is fine for just relaxing and hanging out. Lots of people were doing work on laptops and tablets and only a couple others were just hanging out. Not too bad. read more

Cute inside but sometimes service isn't very polite which ruins the atmosphere. Coffee and drinks are really not that good, especially compared to the better options nearby. Pastries are mediocre, nothing noteworthy except for that they're large-ish. read more

Mishka's Cafe is a great place to hang out. Times are a bit different at the moment and we have to enjoy their offerings from afar. My daughter surprised us with a mixed gift of coffee. We were so pleased to receive the gift. Even better was the fact that Mishka's dark toast is the best coffee I have ever brewed at home! So smooth and aromatic. Can't wait to have it again tomorrow morning! We suggest you order some for yourself. read more

Drinks are pricey, but they're good (both coffee and tea). You can also order your coffee half decaf and half regular because those coffee drinks will get you energized! There's a tea list you can ask for too. Store's Wi-Fi slow and spotty and they give you a 2 hour time limit, but that's because it gets crowded. Good vibes and atmosphere. Gives off a hipster vibe. Great place to catch up with a friend or a date! read more

I was visiting Davis for the first time and was looking for a coffee shop besides the usual Starbucks. Mishka's Cafe is perfectly nested in downtown Davis. It is spacious and open but can be filled with students and professors. They have a wide variety of pastries, coffee, and tea. I went for the Passion scone and Morning Soul latte, suggested by the barista in the front. I enjoyed every bite and sip read more

I wanted to support the local coffeeshop over the chain. I waited in line for quite a long time for a very mediocre caffe latte. I had to explain to the cashier the difference between that and a cafe au lait after he tried repeatedly to ring me up for the latter. In the end it tasted like a lot of steamed milk with a very small amount of espresso. My companion's chai latte was much better. The scone was good, but I wouldn't wait in that line again just for another one. read more

Very young, rowdy, crowd. 1 barista, waited 20 minutes for 2 drinks. Ordered a matcha latte. Very bitter!

Have loved this place for decades and still do! I recently tried the 2-tone mocha and it was amazing! Love just ordering something and hanging out outside and either studying or reading or just people watching. Support this amazing local coffee shop. read more
