We're visiting from Southern California and we were looking for a good breakfast and coffee spot, and this place was definitely it! We had the bacon egg and cheese croissant which was amazing! We also got two cold brews one with pistachio cold foam and one with Irish cream, both delicious! The owner was also super sweet , 10/10 will definitely come back when we're in the area. read more

I had a wonderful first experience at Cafe Mia recently! My husband and I were visiting Monterey/Marina for the weekend and wanted to grab some coffee and breakfast. We stumbled upon Cafe Mia and were so happy we did! We sat outside on their little patio and enjoyed the sun and music while we waited for our drinks and food. The iced chai latte was DELISH. The quiche and apple fritter were pretty good as well. We didn't choose any of the healthy options but there are some! We briefly talked to the owner (I believe) and he was extremely kind and helpful. We will definitely go back if in the area again. read more

A cute family-owned cafe! Everything tastes delicious but what's also important is that you feel welcomed. The owner was very nice and accommodating to our large party and made sure that all was taken care of. My favorite is the croissant sandwich! My sister's favorite - bagel with lox. Will be back! read more

A gem of an independent coffee shop with solid food offerings. Spinach quiche was fluffy and light. Coffee was OK. The recommended apple fritter was drenched in a sugary glaze. The dough was delicious without needing the over-the-top excess of sugar. Wish we had chosen from another of their incredible looking sweet offerings. read more

We stayed at The Sanctuary Resort and stopped at this coffee shop every day of our trip. The family who owns and runs it made us feel so welcome. The pour-over coffee was wonderful, and the pastries and breakfast paninis were excellent. It quickly became one of our favorite parts of the morning! read more

Went on a lovers getaway to Marina this past weekend & found this gem of a cafe the day we were leaving. Upon entry it's decorated very lovely and the inside is pretty small but good enough to enjoy your meal. I didn't get the gentleman's name that took our order but he was amazing. Very patient and kind with it being my partner n I first time there. I ordered the Mias Breakfast Panini with Bacon & Pan Fried Egg, while my partner ordered their Veggie Breakfast Burrito. To start off, my sandwich was PERFECT. It was layered with a hefty amount of bacon and had a wonderful crust at each bite. I used some of their Cholula sauce and that took it next level. The burrito had a variety of ingredients which made it super tasty and not soggy at all. We partnered that up with their Mexican Mocha & Vanilla Latte, both half sweet & oatmilk. Both drinks were a 5/5 & that's coming from a former barista. I especially loved the Mexican Mocha, they really paired all the flavors well together and didn't overdue it. To finish up the meal we shared one of their Apple Danishes. My goodness! It was delicious, not sweet at all & the apples were very fresh. I would most definitely come again whenever I'm in the area! read more

Hmm, I just read some of the negative comments for this place. I'm of Asian descent and I look more Latino than Asian and yet had a pleasant experience here. We ordered breakfast burrito, hazel nut coffee(good per my wife), almond croissant, oatmeal (was really hot), breakfast panini. Everything we ordered were delicious. Check this place out when you're in the Marina area. read more

It feels like being at a friend's place! My husband and I were on our way to Big Sur when we needed a coffee break. We were debating going to a coffee shop we've been to before, but decided to switch to a new place and Cafe Mia popped up at the next closest option and it was great timing! The cafe itself has a good amount of tables inside and outside. The staff was friendly and didn't pressure us to order. We opted for their tri tip sandwich, a couple lattes, and a cannoli before hitting the road again. The food was good, the latte kept us warm and we left with pleasant memories of this place. Pleasant enough to come back for a 2nd visit on our way back from Big Sur. I'd highly suggest stopping by Cafe Mia if you're in the area or if you're passing through! read more

Yum!! Cafe Mia has a wide selection of breakfast/brunch plates & coffees, and my table loved everything we had. The Egg Volcano was such a fun dish to look at and then deconstruct, and I was so obsessed with the french bread of my Tuscan Chicken sandwich--it was so airy and light and made for a refreshing but wholly satisfying breakfast! read more

We absolutely loved this little spot!!!! super good vibes. casual, outdoor seating. We had our dogs so we sat outside and it was just perfect. We were in town just for a few days and came here two days in a row because first of all my skinny vanilla latte was absolutely perfect exactly how I like my lattes. We also ordered breakfast burritos. I got mine made with egg whites and the kids got the regular burrito. Both of them were great. We also got some sandwiches which were delicious as well. Service was good. Everyone was very kind. They gave us some cups of whipped cream for the kids, which was a big hit. drip coffee was also really good and fresh. read more

Delicious food and the owner has a great personality and recommendations on the menu helped lots. Small place with a big menu with quality food. Service is quick and delicious. Ambiance of a small bistro. Lots of people who came in were regulars. We definitely will be back. My wife had the Panini Mia with Humboldt fog cheese. and I had the Pork Belly sandwich, which was great. The leftovers were just as delicious the following day. read more

Cute little local coffee shop. Lots of pastries to choose from. We had a quick pastry and latte before heading to San Francisco. It was a little busy but nothing crazy. The pastry and latte I had were good, the service was friendly. We will be coming back again as we frequent this area to try more things, read more

Came here twice in one weekend during our short stay. The owner is extremely kind and creates such a welcoming vibe. Bagel and lox was perfect with very high quality tomatoes. The apple fritters are extremely crisp on the outside with perfect apple chunks. Coffee drinks are brewed perfectly. The breakfast burrito is soooo good and such a good value. I suggest the sausage. It was so aromatic and flavorful My only bummer was I tried to back for lunch and the line was so long and I didn't have the time to wait. Maybe some other time I can try one of the paninis. read more

Long line on a Sunday but the paninis were great! Loved the Tijuana taxi for a good kick read more

The best spot in the Monterey Area! Great pour over coffee, great good, and most importantly great people. Horace treats everyone like family at Cafe Mia. I toggle between Sweet Italian and Heart of Darkness for my pour over. read more

Great little spot that's nicely tucked away. Good seating, both patio and indoor. Solid service with a very nice staff. Heck, even the owner came by to introduce himself and thanked me for coming in. Ordered my usual vanilla latte, which was perfect and tried the Greek Avacado Toast (off the Blue Zone Menu). Great start to the day, I'll be back again! read more

This nice little coffee shop tucked away in a little strip mall off Reservation was a hidden gem. I assume the gentleman behind the counter was the owner. He was welcoming and kind. The food was delicious! From the yogurt parfait to the broccoli/spinach quiche and their biscuits and gravy, it was a treat in every bite. If you're driving by or stay a few nights, stop by and check out Cafe Mia Bar & Bistro. read more

Awesome spot in Marina! Perfect little café for takeout. We got the apple fritter, a breakfast panini, and their special of the day (croissant sandwich). Everything was delicious. The croissant sandwich had a fried egg, bacon, and cheese on an incredibly fresh croissant. The manager (or owner?) was super friendly and told us about the daily specials, which he very much recommended! It was fairly busy, but the vibe was so chill. The woman at the register was also super kind and recommended the apple fritter. So glad we took her advice. A sweet treat in the morning is hard to pass up, and this one hit the spot. Loved the self-serve water setup too. Definitely recommend! read more

The owner could sell you a bad pie and you would leave smilin, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC FOOD and coffee but even better service. Go met a man who is way too awake for it to be a competition and has a never ending smile. You gotta go in cause he's got special breakfast options not on the menu. We got the greek avocado toast, quiche, and veggie breakfast (no cheese). The ingredients are clean and fresh, leaving you full but not heavy. The ambiance is great and a great spot to learn about community events. read more

The service was very friendly and attentive. This spot also had good free wifi and comfy indoor seating. I ordered a cafe latte and the bagel with lox plate. The cafe latte was solid. While I enjoyed the lox itself, I found the bagel tasted a bit old and stale. My dad ordered the Caesar salad which was decent too. I'd come here again for coffee but not for food, or at least not for bagels. read more

Wow! I wasn't expecting such an awesome breakfast in Marina today. We were greeted with a presentation of all the special dishes and fresh pastries not on the regular menu. We were enticed to try the egg, hash brown and cheese loaf with fresh salsa and sour cream. It was very tasty and filling. We also had the oatmeal with the works, brimming with fresh fruit and nuts. The highlight, though, was really the pour over coffee, expertly brewed. The gentlemen helping us must be the owner. He greeted everyone so graciously. I was really impressed with the effort he made to make everyone happy. The menu is really diverse with a lot of healthy, vegetarian items, which I really appreciate. read more

Just earlier today I stopped by this quaint vibey cafe to grab a coffee with my friend, and I truly only have good opinions of my experience here! The latte that I ordered was out and ready, steamy and very milky, a few minutes after I placed my order! The cashier that I conversed with was very friendly, seeming genuinely interested in how my day was going, which is always appreciated, human on human connection, despite the customer and employee innate barrier. And, I also adore how diverse the food and drink options are of this establishment, I will definitely be looking into trying a pistachio cream frappe next time I come here! If you are in the Marina area and itching for some breakfast food or caffeine, highly implore you to check out this place! read more

We were visiting the area and stopped by this coffee shop during our trip: we highly recommend it. The owner and his daughter are super friendly and the quality of our drinks was outstanding! Keep up the good work! read more

Enjoyed our first visit today and really wanted to rate it higher but the overall quality for what we paid was not what I expected. May try again in the future and get other bakery items or a sandwich/panini. Today we enjoyed the kids breakfast and avocado toast with an iced oat milk lavender latte. Pros: - friendly service - many options to choose from - pet friendly patio seating Cons: - strawberries on the plate were bad/mushy - eggs were bland (probably premade liquid container ones so not fluffy) read more

Cozy Spot with Great Food and Vibes Stopped by Café Mia Brew Bar & Bistro and right when I walked in, it just felt warm and cozy -- the kind of place you actually want to sit and enjoy your meal. The vibe was super inviting. The menu had a bunch of things that sounded amazing, but I went with the New York Breakfast -- a croissant with salmon, capers, mayo, and egg. It was really good! The croissant was flaky and toasted perfectly. My daughter got the Avocado Toast with arugula, honey, and yellow cherry tomatoes, and I've gotta say... hers might've been even better than mine. It was creamy, a little sweet, and the arugula gave it that nice slight bitterness that tied everything together. We spent around $40 for the two of us, which felt a bit pricey, but honestly, everything's a little expensive these days. Still, the food and the atmosphere totally made it worth it. I'd definitely go back! read more

The food is exceptional here! We eat here almost every time we're visiting. We love to sit outside and linger while we catch up with our friends who live locally. It's always a treat! read more

Came to this shop on my first full day of a Monterey vacay trip and fell in love! I can see why there's a stable flow of customers in and out. Didn't get the guy's name but all workers were extremely down to earth. Had to come back on our last day vacationing the area~ Second time coming back and I tried their quiche! Delicious just like how it looks. Coffee's price is very impressive--saying as a person who's used to Bay Area coffee prices. Quantity and quality is amazing. Variety of coffee beans is phenomenal. Other food and pastries look soft and fresh! Horace--the owner-- was nothing short of compellingly friendly! He really makes an effort to make every customer feel like family. The cafe shop's interior felt well-loved and kept. Definitely a gem~ Note: Don't listen to other reviews who complain about a wait time. If you really want to support a local business and you value quality, that's exactly why this place gets busy--because they value quality service over speed! Will definitely be recommending this spot to others and expect me to come back soon! read more

I love this place! The staff is friendly. The coffee is delicious and the food looks and tastes delish! Wide selection as well! The place has tables and chairs both indoor and outdoor.

Food was not fresh. There were fruit flies buzzing around behind the bar. Coffee was not worth leaving the house for, the establishment had an overall rundown and sad feeling. I hate to say it but there is no good coffee in Marina, Ca. I live here in Marina and it's very frustrating to not have a good bakery or coffee shop. As a matter of fact, there isn't anywhere great to eat, all just average or worse. Sad but frustratingly true. Marina, please step it up, we have so much potential. read more
