The Fancy 3 Leches Toast
Shawna H.

Pleasant surprise for a small restaurant with one cook and picnic tables outside. The food was so good and the service super friendly and efficient. Off the beaten path, so it wasn't as crowded as some restaurants at the center of town. We didn't have 45 minutes to wait on a Saturday morning so called Mia's and found there was a 10-15 minute wait. While there was a steady stream of guests, not a lot of waiting for tables. Really pleasant experience!

Inside
Vita H.

After a 12-hour night shift, I had to get my tires fixed and ended up handing my car over to the capable hands of the shop. With some time to spare, I walked down to Mia's Cafe--and I'm glad I did. This is a cute, family-owned café with a welcoming feel. I ordered a coffee (of course!) and the avocado toast--something light enough to keep me going without putting me to sleep. And let me just say... this was real avocado toast, not guacamole spread. It came with a fried egg, bacon, spinach, and fresh sliced avocado, and it was satisfying and well put together. Nothing over-the-top, just a solid, enjoyable breakfast. Service was great--I was greeted warmly, attended to quickly, and my food came out fast, which was exactly what I needed after a long shift. Overall, a nice, easy stop for a quick bite and good service. They also have outdoor seating. Parking is challenging but still doable.

Turkey Club
Angie M.

This is a small restaurant with really good food! Parking was a bit of a challenge, but was able to park out on the street. We were three, and there was a bit of a wait as there are minimal tables. I had the turkey club and it was amazing. I am not often a fan of sandwiches so that is saying a lot. The service was very friendly and if I am ever back in the area I would definitely go again!

Menu as of 4/4/26

Located in an industrial area. There's limited parking space in the lot but there's also street parking. This replaced what used to be Shirley's Temple. There's picnic tables outside and smaller tables available on the inside. We were seated on arrival around 10 am, but there was a slight wait once we were finished. The prices are average and menu isn't overwhelming. Our server was attentive and friendly. I ordered Mia's breakfast platter, which came with eggs, bacon, chicken sausage and my choice of French toast or pancakes. Everything tasted decent except the house potatoes were slightly undercooked in my opinion. Side note: The restroom is slightly hidden around a corner so signage directing customers to it would be helpful.

I found this place because it appeared on my Instagram feed and decided to try it out! Mia's café can be located in an industrial area in Smill Hill, which is part of Long Beach. There was plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating. The waiter was outside and kept the door open for us. We sat down immediately. There were a couple of other tables. It seemed like our waiter was solo, but he handled all the guest very well. I believe our waiter's name is Marvin, he was polite, attentive, and had a great customer service with everyone. My daughter and I ordered the Chilaquiles's with ribeye that came with eggs and potatoes and the fancy French toast. I wasn't sold under coffee either. I love me a good café diner coffee and this one just didn't give anything for me. We've had Chilaquiles's at other restaurants so we might be a little biased and we're not sold on them completely. They just lacked the right flavor and the ribeye had tons of fat. We were hoping that they had a different type of steak for them, but we left most of the meat on the plate because of the fat. The French toast was amazing! The presentation and the flavors were all there. There is a cream cheese frosting in between the French toast. That was amazing. Prices were a little higher than I expected for the location. Overall, it's a nice spot for breakfast/lunch.

Pork Belly Brunch Burrito
Dezmond B.

Was in the Long Beach area and stopped by Mia's Cafe for a late breakfast--and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Pork Belly Brunch Burrito, and it was absolutely amazing. The pork belly was cooked to perfection--tender, flavorful, and they definitely don't skimp on the portion size. Every bite was packed with flavor. Pro tip: ask for their spicy hot sauce--it's not automatically served, but it takes the burrito to another level. The burrito also came with a side of potatoes and peppers, which were a great complement to the meal and well-seasoned. The outdoor seating area really added to the experience. It has a relaxed, laid-back vibe that's perfect for enjoying a slow brunch, especially with the Long Beach weather. On top of that, the staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which made the visit even better. Overall, Mia's Cafe is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. I'll be back for sure.

Paola M.

Small little joint but we were seated fairly quickly, within 15 minutes, for Saturday brunch around noon. Place was clean, service was great, the iced coffees were delicious (not too strong and not too sweet), food was good - would come back to try some of their other plates! Also, there is a small parking lot and also lots of street parking available so that wasn't a struggle.

Pork belly breakfast burrito.
Joelnramoz ..

Nice place, the staff is amazing. Our waiter was so polite and attentive. The wait was about 10 mins but he kept checking on us. The food took a bit longer than normal to come out but the staff made up for it. They kept reassuring us that the food was on its way and made sure that our drinks were topped off while we waited.

Ribeye & pork belly burrito with side of potatoes
Erika M.

Highly highly reccomend stopping into Mia's Cafe! The food is truly delicious ! We came in on Saturday morning around noon and only had to wait to be seated about 10 mins or so! As we waited, we ordered a hazelnut ice coffee, which was delightful. When we sat down, we each ordered burritos - modified! I asked for mine with chicken and no pico de gallo. My only knock down was, they didnt put the country potatoes in my burrito. Only on the side! But honestly, the burrito was so delicious, I couldnt even complain! My gf ordered the ribeye burrito but with an addition of pork belly! She absolutely loved it! The meat was tender and the pork belly was melt in your mouth worthy! As we were waiting to eat, we spotted some people next to our table ordered Cafe De Olla! My gf was curious...so of course we ordered it! And look, when i tell you that i don't like coffee and I thought this was NEXT LEVEL....is not a lie! Haha! I cannot rave about it enough! We will be coming back for that alone! We also ordered a side of fruit, which was just right! And a cup of hot water! Anthony, who was our server, was marvelous! He was super helpful in our modifications and was kind and hospitable! So if Anthony is there, give him some love! All in all, the place is wonderful! Not a lot of seating. But they have both indoor and outdoor! The space is a bit tight, but honestly, thats never a big deal for us! There is plenty of street parking if you can't find any in the lot!!! Seriously! Make your way out!!!

Churros and ice cream
Karina G.

It definitely is off the beat and path but the it has a 4.5 on here. Parking is limited, you have to park on the street, which there is plenty of. I happen to be off early and my friend that I was hanging with likes to try new places. Right off the bat server was great but it took a long time to get anything we ordered. Even to get a refill on coffee. Breakfast sandwich was very tasty, bacon was cooked as ordered and potatoes were delicious wish for a bigger portion served. Although he mentioned desserts are not made in house I still went for Cheesecake, ahhhh I could have done without. I appreciate the glaze and blueberries, it made it palatable. A negative would be they close early.

Menu
Raymond A.

This place is a hidden gem. It's located on 28th between Junipero & Signal Parkway. Four dishes and all 4 were good. I want to go back already and try some more stuff on the menu. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. It was a nice day to sit outside so I did. The service was great with Anthony leading the charge. He was a 1 man show. I wish this place was open for dinner. I love this place and I look forward to eating here again. See you soon.

Mia's Breakfast Platter with pancakes
Viola L.

Finding Mia's Kitchen in Signal Hill can be a bit of a challenge, but it is clearly a local favorite because even on a Monday morning, nearly every table was packed. The menu offers a great Mexican-American breakfast fusion, and after trying the food, it is easy to see why the place stays so busy. We both went with Mia's breakfast platter, one with pancakes and the other with French toast and paired them with a hazelnut latte that was honestly incredible. The espresso was super smooth with the perfect amount of sweetness, and as someone who is usually sensitive to lactose, I was thrilled that it didn't cause any of the usual bloating. The food itself was just as impressive as the coffee. The pancakes hit that elusive balance of being a little sweet, a little savory, and slightly crispy around the edges. They avoided that common issue of being too dry or heavy on the batter, making them incredibly easy to enjoy. The French toast was equally amazing, clearly made with a high-quality brioche that was rich and buttery. Even the sides stood out; the sausage was perfectly salty in the best way possible. While you might have to hunt a little to find the front door and should definitely expect a longer wait on the weekends, the quality of the meal makes it well worth the effort. They have seatings inside and outside. Pretty nice to sit outside on a sunny day.

Rib eye chilaquiles and Chorizo chilaquiles
Lisa E.

My bestie was in town for the weekend and we absolutely love to try new breakfast spots ! I knew I had to stop by this cafe located in an industrial business area. It's lthe sweet hidden gem! The food was tasteful and delicious . Everyone at my table enjoyed the presentation and service was impeccable! Let's talk about the chorizo chilaquiles, Rib eye chilaquiles and to top of my sweet tooth the Churro French toast .I cannot wait to bring my family again 10/10

I ordered one of their seasonal beverages, a tiramisu latte. This latte was pretty much a dessert, and exactly what I needed to fix my morning blues. The only thing that could have elevated this experience would be a side of lady fingers for dipping purposes. The breakfast burrito came packed with crispy potatoes, plus, eggs, bell peppers, chipotle aioli, and cheddar. To be honest, I found this burrito to be lacking. It was about 90% potato and I'm pretty sure the aioli listed on the menu description was non-existent. While the food didn't blow me away, this place truly stands out due to its extra large interior seating area. It feels nearly impossible to find a coffee shop with enough tables in this newly WFH society. Good Time has got us covered, with plenty of seats and outlets for everyone.

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers.

It's been a few years since I've been to Ubuntu Café, but all I remembered from my last visit was…read morethat they had an amazing almond croissant. And let's just be honest, my obsession with chai lattes and almond croissants really needs to be studied:) So, naturally, that's exactly what I ordered. I got a chai latte with almond milk, and it was creamy, frothy, perfectly spiced, and just so good. The almond croissant was every bit as sweet, buttery, and delicious as I remembered. One of the reasons I love Ubuntu Café is the location. It's right by the marina, so you get this beautiful ocean breeze while you sit outside and watch people walking by. It's one of those places where you don't feel rushed to leave. They also offered me a half order of their cheese bread, and I wasn't really sure what to expect, but it ended up being one of my favorite things. It comes with a guava and passion fruit jam, and the sweet jam with the cheesy bread sounds like it shouldn't work... but somehow it absolutely does. The thing that really stood out to me, though, was the service. Everyone was so attentive, friendly, and genuinely helpful. It just made the whole experience even better. Five stars. No notes.

The bread was especially good, and it came with crispy fries topped with Parmesan. One of my friends ordered the French omelette with a side of sausage and really enjoyed it. The biggest highlight for me was the customer service. From the cashier to the staff bringing out food and clearing tables, everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The owner even stopped by our table to check in, which added a personal touch and made us feel appreciated. It's also pet-friendly, which adds to the welcoming neighborhood feel. If you're looking for a locally owned café with great hospitality and a comfortable place to spend time with friends or family, Ubuntu Café is definitely worth a visit.

Cool, they can make it. what I got was a cup of coffee in a to go cup (even though I was dining in) with milk and a foam, so really what I got was a flat white. the other coffee ordered was a latte which was pretty standard I ordered the chicken sandwich ($12) which comes on a biscuit and a side of fruit, to round it out I also ordered the yogurt bowl which is yogurt and granola. When the sandwich came out it looked rather disappointing. The biscuit itself is small, probably the size of a Pillsbury dough biscuit, and the chicken wasn't much bigger. nothing else on it like a green, coleslaw, sauce, etc. just these two items. However, it did come with a side of a honey butter. the side of fruit was about 8 pieces split between pineapple, melon, and grapes. the whole sandwich was dry, which can be expected from a biscuit, but this was just too dry for me. the yogurt bowl($8) came in a small bowl that had a large flaring, basically the entire dish was large but the bowl portion was small. I eat yogurt everyday and the amount you get is probably half the size of a standard serving of yogurt (170g) and it was sparsely sprinkled with granola. my partner ordered a chorizo burrito ($15) and while she raved about the flavor the size of it was laughable, especially considering there are plenty of spots in LB that serve double or even triple the size of this burrito at or near the same price lastly, and the most disappointing of all, was the cinnamon roll($8). they were on display at the register and figured yeah I want one of those and instead of giving it to me right then and there it was brought with the rest of the food but it was not warmed up, which made me question why I waited for it. It was rool temp, burnt, and hard. I do want to try other items but the price you pay for what you get, especially considering this experience I had, is off putting.
