Oh my goodness, worth the hype and the wait in line. I went on a Saturday afternoon during Labor day weekend with a couple of friends, but it honestly was not that bad of a wait. I was expecting 40 minutes to 1 hour, and only waited 20 minutes. They did make us create a line in the sun though, but that's no problem since we did not want to block the sidewalk. The inside is small, so they allowed 2 parties for crowd control. They provided us with samples, but I only tried the natural Greek yogurt, and that was all I needed to try. They also had dulce de leche and guava sorbet that day. Each size came with different # of toppings: small came with 1 topping, medium with 2, and large with 3. I can't quite remember the price exactly, but the each additional topping was +$1 something. There were a lot of toppings to choose from, and I could not decide what I wanted. They had olive oil, salt, granolas, nuts, drizzles, etc. I went with a small natural Greek yogurt with pistachio crunch and added an extra chocolate crumble. The sweetness of the pistachio crunch worked so well with the yogurt. Total was about $10, tax and tip included. It could be viewed as pricey, but worth it for a treat. Already trying to plan my next trip to Myka!
Guava and Original, swirl, 5/5: The original tastes very similar to 0% Greek yogurt, but little sweeter; I could eat this alone unlike normal store Greek yogurt. But Guava is really good! Very refreshing, def better than frozen yogurt. Toppings: The Berry Crumble is the best!!! Truly just get this! Adds a nice sweet crunch. The Baklava crumble was good too but I wouldn't get it again, like buttery flaky croissant flakes. Not much fresh fruit options which sucks... Line is out the door since 2-3 parties at a time, but moves very fast. Store is super cute and exterior is a standalone Greece vibe.
I went here twice now with the 2nd experience being way better than my first. The first time I came, it was Thursday. No line, no wait. But since it was my first time, I didn't know what to expect. The menu in store was very small and at first I couldn't find it. I saw a special menu item and ordered it. I really wanted to try the Mykataifi topping which is a pistachio flavored sauce. I didn't know we couldn't add extra toppings to the special menu item, so I was a bit bummed. The special menu item was hazelnut flavor and reminded me of Ferrero Rocher. However with a hint of greek yogurt sour and a tad bit too sweet. The 2nd time I went, I got the Natural Greek Yogurt mix w/ Guava Sorbet. The yogurt will taste like greek yogurt but the sweetness of the guava will help balance out the flavor! This time I got the mykataifi topping and it was so worth it! I highly recommend that topping especially if you are a dubai chocolate fan/pistachio fan. I also had goji berries as my 2nd topping. Since I came on a Saturday, there was already a line before they opened. However, it took only about 10 minutes to be served! The inside is very small and can only really take 10 people max inside. Which is why theres a line outside. But the decor inside is very cute and gives Greece! Im glad I came back and had a better experience. This place is good and I recommend it! Although, Im not sure if I would wait any longer than 20 minutes for this. Im not a fan of long lines or waits, so that is a personal preference.
MYKA MYKA is a small shop that offers Greek style frozen yogurt with various toppings. Opened over a month ago and it was so popular, there was always a serpentine line of customers. The menu is limited to Greek original, matcha flavor and sorbet(vegan), toppings and bottle water and sodas. I chose the OG Greek yogurt with the Pistachio syrupy topping with crunchy pistachios, it was yummy. I only wanted the smallest posible size because my pup didn't like it after giving her a taste. The smallest size will cost you an Alexander Hamilton. The shop is smallish and has no seating inside or outside. They offer free samples. The staff were cordial, helpful and looked cleanish but none of them wore gloves...which goes against my comfort level. All the staff stand behind the counter and over the uncovered toppings ingredients and I am not a fan of that at all, not here or anywhere. As much as I like this Greek froyo, until they practice wearing fresh gloves prior to serving is when I'll return. If you don't have an issue of being served with ungloved hands, go for it, go Greek...MYKA!
Waited around half an hour on a Saturday afternoon. I didn't mind the wait but it did smell kinda bad in this area. The line was fully outside since the inside of the shop is pretty small For flavors, they had natural greek yogurt, dulce de leche, and guava when I went. I like that you can mix any combo of flavors. I shared a kids size natural/guava + berry crumble with my cousin. We weren't super hungry so this was a perfect amount. I also liked the pistachio sauce and hazelnut sauce a lot
Came on a Sunday around 11:30 am and waited about 20 mins. There's no room to stand or sit inside so there was someone controlling the line but it wasn't too slow. Service was friendly and let us sample the flavors and helped us choose our toppings. There's only 3 flavors but I enjoyed the watermelon lime sorbet immensely. It was nicely refreshing on a hot day and the perfect amount of sweetness and flavor and wasn't very sour. The natural Greek yogurt was creamy and thick but a little too tart for me and the matcha Greek yogurt didn't really taste like matcha. My sister and I shared a regular size which came with 2 toppings which was a decent size but pretty pricey. We chose the berry crumble and butter crumble as the toppings which added a nice crunch. I would come back for the watermelon lime sorbet only if I'm in the area and if the lines are short.
Glad I finally got to try this spot! We luckily only had to wait about 20 minutes to order when we came on a Sunday around 11:30AM. The line usher was friendly and helpful, had a QR code to view the menu while we waited. Once we got to the front, we got to sample all of the 3 flavors they currently had. I found the workers inside friendly and they gave recommendations on toppings when I asked My friend got the kids mixed with natural/matcha greek yogurt with pistachio sauce, while I split a regular watermelon & lime sorbet with berry crumble and butter crumble with my sister. The natural Greek yogurt was slightly tart and I didn't taste matcha in the matcha flavor. I really liked the watermelon & lime sorbet, it was not too sweet or sour, and very refreshing on a hot day. I liked the berry and butter crumbles which added a nice crunch. It's a bit pricey for the size, and I wouldn't wait too long in line for it, but I would come back if I was in the area!
honestly a good dessert! to be honest, nothing really sticks out... the toppings are good (a bit limited),i just would rather be able to put my own toppings on. it's pretty pricey for the serving size. inside is cute, bit small. the line is insane, but definitely give it a try if you're in the area and have time.
Highly recommend going early when they open for the shortest wait time! Got there around 12pm and only waited 10min. Got lucky and snagged a free parking spot but definitely expect to pay for parking in this area Super small storefront they only let a few people in at a time. Very natural and healthy options for toppings although not much can fit on the cup. I did enjoy the chocolate shell and strawberry toppings I got. Their original yogurt is slightly sweeter than a regular plain tart (i.e. Yogurtland) Fun place to try but personally I wouldn't wait longer than 20min and would try to go in the morning
I got to try MYKA in Madrid and loved it! So happy they just opened in San Diego. If you're local, you know this area can be tough in terms of parking. Scenic, but hard. We lined up a little after they opened at 11. The guy who was manning the line was friendly and offering us a QR code for the menu and to offer info. He was also passing around umbrellas which I thought was really thoughtful. My tip: make sure you have your choices for ingredients ready. That could definitely hold up the line if you're not even preparing beforehand. It's as delicious as the one I had in Madrid. Get the Mykataffi for a topping!! Best thing ever. I wish they'll start having the white chocolate sauce soon.
OBSESSED! Their signature flavor is a natural super creamy tart yogurt, which tastes similar to the tart flavor that you'll get at other frozen yogurt places. BUT THEIR TOPPINGS IS WHERE IT'S AT! The regular size comes with 2 toppings, but I got an extra topping for $12 total. The mykataifi is the inside of a dubai chocolate bar. Really creamy pistachio cream with slight crunch from the katakfi. This was my fav topping for sure. The nocciola crunch is basically a hazelnut spread. But tastes like real hazelnut. You can really tell they use high quality ingredients. The berry crunch tasted like a nice fruity cereal which complimented the other sweet toppings and yogurt so well. We waited 15-20 mins on a weekday afternoon and this was definitely the shortest I've ever seen the line. The shop is small and cute so only so many can fit inside at a time. Service is also so friendly and quick. If the lines weren't as long this would definitely be my go to dessert spot.
I recently tried the Times Square Myka location in New York City, so decided to try this new San Diego location and it did not disappoint! Myka is one of my new obsessions! Be warned that there is typically a long line - we waited about 30-40 minutes. But in my opinion, it's worth it! They have a cute Greek themed storefront. There are only a select few flavors - classic Greek yogurt, citrus sorbet, and their seasonal flavor, which was the piña colada. They let you sample all the flavors and give very generous portion sizes. My favorite flavor is the classic Greek yogurt, although the citrus sorbet was also very light and refreshing! The piña colada flavor is very subtle. My favorite topping is the pistachio mykataifi, which is a crispy filling like what is typically inside of Dubai chocolate. The Greek yogurt + mykataifi + chocolate chip combo is elite. They also have a large selection of other unique Greek toppings.
Tried MykA's new San Diego location and had a mixed experience. As always, parking in La Jolla is rough, but we got in line a few minutes before 11am on a Thursday and we were on the way home by 11:20. I ordered the pina colada, and unfortunately I couldn't really taste the pineapple or coconut, which was a letdown since that flavor combo is exactly why I wanted to try it. I went with a medium so I could add two toppings, but I wish they'd been a bit more generous with the portions. Overall it was okay, not bad, but not quite what I was hoping for. I'd be curious to try another flavor next time to see if it was just this one that missed the mark.
Came here to see the hype. Wasn't too much of a wait as once you get inside, there were two options for frozen yogurt. The inside is small, with no tables. Got the cinnamon frozen yogurt and some crumbles as toppings. Honestly, quality is high and it was delicious. read more
There seemed to be some trendy craze over this joint on Prospect Street...with a long line. Possibly the only place with a line like that in this area! So I had to see why... It's simply a small Greek Yogurt place...and I guess the special perk was in choosing the special toppings. Service is great...as there's even a staff member outside the door interacting with folks in line, offering info that'll make the order easier-faster. I went with 3 toppings, 2 of which were recommended from the staff member while waiting in line (though I forgot what the names of all these toppings were!). Well, I thought the Yogurt was cool and refreshing...and toppings were good. But frankly, I found the fanfare a bit puzzling for what it was! Still, it was high quality yogurt...and glad I tried it. read more

I've been hoping a Myka location would open in California, and while San Diego isn't exactly close, it was worth the drive this one time. I never got a chance to try it in New York because of the lines, but I always knew I'd have to make it happen someday. I finally tried Myka and absolutely loved it. This is 100% my type of place. The Greek frozen yogurt was perfect for me. I personally love plain frozen yogurt, and this was some of the best Greek frozen yogurt I've ever had. The flavor, texture, and tanginess were exactly what I look for. The toppings were honestly the highlight. They have some of the best topping options I've ever seen at a frozen yogurt shop, and they really make the experience. The only downside was the wait. The line took about an hour, which was pretty crazy considering the actual length of the line. They clearly need to work on speeding up their process because they are moving very slowly. I personally wouldn't wait in a line that long again, but I'm sure things will improve as the hype dies down and they find their rhythm. My husband wasn't as impressed, but he also doesn't like plain frozen yogurt, so I knew it might not be his thing. For me though, this was a huge hit. I'm already hoping we get a Los Angeles location because I know I'd be there all the time. At least the San Diego location was in the best area. * The hazelnut crunch topping was even better than the pistachio one! read more
MYKA has landed in San Diego with its first shop in all of California and the West Coast. It's a frozen Greek yogurt business that started in Madrid, Spain with US locations in only two other cities (Miami, NYC). The owners took a bold risk by picking a suite on Prospect St in the village of La Jolla. This block probably has some of the highest leasing rates in all of the county because of its proximity to the Cove. Parking can be challenging as the curbside spaces were limited for so many high end businesses. You can use a public valet or even one of the nearby garages as options. I arrived just after their 11 am opening time, and there was already a significant line down the sidewalk. It took about 30 minutes before I reached the counter. The inside was small without any available seating. A few parties could enter at a time to be serviced by one of the workers. The current menu featured natural Greek yogurt, pina colada yogurt, and citrus sorbet as the frozen bases. Individual cup sizes were kids, regular, and large which came with one, two, and three toppings respectively included in the price. A cone could also be purchased as the serving vessel. After letting a worker know which one of the three bases you wanted, the tough task was to select the dry or wet toppings that were broken down into the following categories... Myka Signature, Crumbles, Candied Nuts, Nuts, Compote, Sauces, Olive Oil, Seasonal, Super Foods, Fruit, and Honey. I am uncertain if all 30 choices across these categories were available, but most were on display at the counter so you could watch the staff assemble your item. I chose a large serving of the natural Greek yogurt in a cup. This was MYKA's signature frozen product made with premium Greek yogurt, pasteurized milk, and goat's kefir. It was creamy with a noticeable tang. The toppings I requested were Mykataifi, Dulce de Leche, and Fig Compote. The first was a pistachio-pastry blend made to resemble baklava. That by itself was sweet, but then the dulce de leche added a caramel flavor while the fig jam took the sweetness to another level. The biggest difference at MYKA compared to another premium competitor in North County was the quality and choice of toppings. The price included at least one topping depending on the cup size versus paying a la carte for toppings at the other place. You still could add more toppings here for $1.25 each. If you had a wet topping like I did, then that combined with the yogurt made for a fast-melting item which was a minor drawback. I gave a 4.5 star rating for the quality and cost of my frozen yogurt and rounded up. read more
I finally got the chance to see what all the hype was about, and yes--the lines are still long! I ordered the original flavor, and it was incredibly smooth, rich, and creamy without being overly sweet, which made it perfectly balanced. The variety of toppings was great. The staff were friendly and very helpful. read more

i tried this for the first time and was surprised on how much i liked it! the greek yogurt is so yummy and tangy without being too sour. we tried all three yogurt flavors: greek, guava and dulce de leche. there's three sizes and so many toppings you can chose from. the line and parking make this place somewhat difficult and unappealing to go to but a sweet treat with a view is something you can't pass up on. read more
Omg Greek frozen yogurt?! This place is still relatively new, so be prepared to wait in line! But it's better than Go Greek and I loved how fresh it tasted with the toppings. I got the piña colada and natural Greek yogurt swirl with the crushed berry and the green sauce toppings. Delicious!! The inside was also cute and decorated in a way that transports you to Greece and the Mediterranean. Go on a weekday when it's slightly less crowded if you can, otherwise the line can get up to an hour or so long. read more
I got the kid's cup with plain Greek yogurt and mykataifi. The yogurt was delicious - smooth, creamy, perfectly sweetened, and not overly tart. The sweetness and crunchy texture of the mykataifi paired incredibly well with the yogurt. The pistachio flavor wasn't very prominent, though; it tasted more like a rich, thick caramel sauce than a pistachio topping. Came at 12PM on a Tuesday and waited in line for about 30 min. Line moves at moderate pace, they allow two parties to be in the shop at a time. Worth the hype though, high recommend! read more

Went on a Sunday around 1 PM and the line was LONG! We probably waited around 25 minutes just to get inside the store. It was really hot outside, but they had umbrellas for people waiting in the sun, which was nice. There are so many different toppings and sauces to choose from, so it was definitely hard to decide. I loved the chocolate topping because it hardened into perfectly thin, crunchy dark chocolate pieces. The butter crumble and pistachio sauce were also to die for. Paired with the Greek yogurt, everything wasn't overly sweet and had such a nice crunchy texture. The yogurt itself is pretty tart, similar to plain tart froyo or even Vietnamese yogurt if you've ever had it. Definitely a little pricey, but I think it's worth trying at least once! read more
I love healthy desserts so when I saw this place open, I knew I wanted to stop by! Their pistachio sauce was very good and although Greek yogurt itself is very sour, it complemented the toppings very well! I will say that it is pretty expensive for what it is but it's worth trying it. I saw that they had umbrellas for customers wearing in like which was really nice. The interior design was really cool but I think the workers do not like working there or something since no one was smiling and they didn't really talk to the people asking questions about the toppings. read more
TL;DR: Delicious Greek frozen yogurt with great toppings - worth it if the line isn't too long. I've seen so many posts online about MYKA, so I was super happy to see that they opened a location in SD. After having it, I can't stop thinking about how good their frozen yogurt is and keep wanting to go back. They currently have their classic natural Greek yogurt flavor and their seasonal flavors are a pina colada Greek yogurt and citrus sorbet. You can sample all the flavors before making a decision. I went with their natural Greek yogurt which is creamy and tart. There are three sizes which comes with 1 topping for the kids, 2 toppings for the regular, or 3 toppings for the large. They have a large variety of toppings that it's hard to choose which toppings to get, but I've tried their mykataifi, butter crumble, and berry crumble which are all so good. The toppings pair so well with the tartness of the yogurt and isn't overwhelmingly sweet. SO GOOD! If you don't have to wait more than 30 minutes, I would say it's worth it, however, most people have been waiting over an hour. I've been twice and got there ~15 minutes before opening and am the first few in line and haven't had to wait long. Another downside is since they're right by La Jolla Cove on Prospect St, parking is challenging and the area gets very busy/chaotic. The inside is also very small so once you grab your yogurt, you'll have to walk outside and find a spot on the sidewalk to eat it. The staff is great - friendly and helpful. read more

Myka is a delicious new authentic greek yogurt spot. It is hyped up and expensive, but definitely worth a visit if you enjoy true greek yogurt. The line was long, but took maybe 30 minutes to get through. We ordered the matcha swirl + watermelon limade swirl which were both so good. The watermelon was a standout because it complimented the tart so well. The matcha flavor was extremely light. The toppings were healthy and good but I don't know how sanitary it is to keep them out in the open, especially the syrups and sauces. read more
I love Go Greek in LA so when I saw this on IG. I had to try because it seemed similar. High quality frozen yogurt. Very creamy but it did melt a little fast. They give out samples to try if you are debating on flavors. Love the variety of toppings especially their pistachio with the kataifi. Each additional topping is $1.25 so if you want a lot of toppings. Be ready to spend a lot. I ended up getting the medium with Myka special toppings (honey, olive oil, ground pistachio and bitter orange compote). That was already $12. Service was fast but be ready to wait outside in line since it's popular with the recent opening. We waited like at least 20 minutes. I give it 4 stars because despite the bougie aesthetic, it's a little deceiving. It's just a grab and go spot for frozen greek yogurt. There's not even any seating so if you want to sit, you have to find a bench further down the street. Also it's only street parking available unless you want to pay for one of the parking garages nearby. read more
Yogurt soft serve was very refreshing on a hot day. If you are a fan of sweeter frozen yogurt, the original flavor might not be sweet enough for you. But it pairs really well with sweeter toppings. I had original and it was very delicious and the pistachio Kadayıf was perfect sauce to pair it with tart yogurt. As for the service, I waited about 25-30 minutes but apparently it was supposed to be shorter wait. If it takes longer than that I would not wait at all. There's no seat inside so you're coming in and out real quick after getting yogurt but it is really nice inside. But would I go back? I would not go back. It's not because of the product or the wait time. The workers are not the warmest people. And unprofessional. I handed the cashier a dirty spoon, she literally placed it right back into the bowl for the next customers to use. Basic hygiene standards and customer service are clearly not a priority here. read more
Waited 1.5 hours for this deliciousness. Place was clean. I got the plain yogurt with the pistachio crispy sauce, strawberries, and cheesecake toppings. I was definitely a little upset seeing that only 2 staff members were working on the yogurt orders and 1 staff member on the register. I feel like the line would of went faster if more staff members were working on the yogurt orders and had more urgency. Would definitely come back because the yogurt was good :) read more
Are we all becoming crazy or what? Waiting for an hour under the sun for an underwhelming and heavily overprice yogurt? To a place that you cannot even sit inside and with a non smiley worker opening the door only to 3 people at a time. What is this, Chanel? Pretty aesthetics of Greek Island and photo factor. That is all. No more for me. $12 is way too high. read more

The yogurt was so good and honestly worth the wait! I got the sorbet with cherries and I love that they pour the cherry syrup over the yogurt. My partner got the regular Greek yogurt with honey and granola and we were both impressed with how good it tasted. It was way better than we expected and the line was surprisingly not too bad for a Saturday. The staff was also really nice and helpful. They answered all my questions and didn't make me feel rushed. I also loved the vibe inside and how clean everything was kept. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

It's pretty decent greek frozen yogurt. But the wait is not worth it. I waited almost an hour and I think Pinkberry would have been comparable. I would definitely wait until the hype is gone to try it out! The only unique thing is their toppings which is why I still rated it a 4. The frozen yogurt itself is nothing special, but the pistachio cream and butter crumble were pretty good. They do let you sample the flavors which is nice. It's pretty small in there so they are only able to serve about 3 parties at a time. read more

Yummy! Greek yogurt at its finest! This place went viral fast! Waited 45 min in the sun but worth it. It's very small but very well decorated and cute. I will come back and choose other toppings but I will wait until there's less people or go when they just opened. read more
My new favorite fro yo spot! We had similar Greek Frozen yogurt a month ago in Spain and Portugal, so very excited when I heard Myka was coming to town. I had a medium of the tart plain yogurt w/ pistachio sauce and nocciolo (hazelnut) sauce w/ 3rd topping of baklava flakes for an extra $1.25. It was amazing! My daughter had a matcha yogurt swirl w/ pistachio sauce and butter cream topping - she loved it, too! Line can be up to an hour long, but we lucked out on an early Saturday afternoon, and got inside in just 15 mins. Totally recommend! read more

Had MYKA in New York just the week prior, and then someone told me one had opened in La Jolla and I had to try! Had to wait in a pretty long line unfortunately but it was worth it at the end. Tastes exactly the same, great flavors and generous servings. Just a warning that the Greek yogurt is not sweet at all, not like what people may expect a normal frozen yogurt to taste like. The citrus sorbet is also extremely tangy and refreshing! Lots of toppings to choose from and they are pretty generous with the amount they give as well. The pistachio cream topping is the best, very creamy and nutty pairing great with the yogurt. No seating inside but it's a quick walk across the street to some nice views to eat with! read more

I was drawn in to Myka's because of the Greek vibe. We stopped by around 11:30 a.m., and the line was already long. As I waited, I noticed the manager/owner working with another employee trying to move the line into a more shaded area. That gesture alone gave me insight into how much they care about the customer and the overall experience, rather than having everyone bake in the sun while waiting for their turn to go inside. Inside, is very tiny, but the staff is efficient in trying to get your order. I opted for the small Greek yogurt which came with one topping. I chose the pistachio topping, paid the extra dollar for the baklava topping and added chocolate drizzle. The baklava topping did not disappoint and was worth the extra dollar. It was perfectly crunchy and it instantly took me back to eating dessert in Greece. The pistachio topping also elevated the entire dessert. The Greek yogurt itself, though, was just meh for the nearly $10 I spend on it. While the toppings were the highlight and packed with flavor, the yogurt didn't quite live up for me. read more
Honestly, pretty dang good Greek yogurt. Though a bit pricey (maybe because they're located in prime spot La Jolla?) - smallest cup was about $9. Overall, i don't think it's worth an hour long wait. Half an hour, maybe. But it was still good and very enjoyable on a hot summer day! read more
