I had been wanting to try this coffee shop for quite a while, and every time I was in the area, I somehow forgot to stop by. I finally made it in, and unfortunately, it wasn't what I had hoped for. I ordered a Honey Lavender Iced Latte, but I couldn't taste any lavender flavor at all. My husband also wasn't a fan of his drink. Sadly, neither of us really enjoyed our coffees, and I don't think it's a place I would go out of my way to revisit. The coffee shop itself is small and in a crowdedshopping center. While the pastries looked delicious, I don't really remember much about the customer service--it just wasn't particularly memorable. If I do decide to give it another chance, I may try one of the pastries and hope for a better experience.

First time visiting this restaurant with a group of friends yesterday. Right off the bat there is very limited seating at this shop. The seating and tables were also not maintained, there were cups and dishes and food debris all over several of the tables and no customers were at them. The shop wasn't very busy so I'm not sure why these table weren't cleaned up. We had a group of 6 total, and we had to move tables and chairs together in order for us to sit together. There is only one large table and of course it was already taken. The other areas with couches had such low tables at them that there was no way you could dine there comfortably. We ordered a few different items off the menu but my absolute favorite was the breakfast croissant. I highly recommend it. It had great flavor, it was a complete breakfast and was fresh. The small side of cantaloupe was like a child's portion though. We did go back and order more because we were still hungry so if you're a big eater this place can get pricey. I ordered the toffee decaf iced latte as it was recommended by my friend, but it definitely didn't taste like decaf. It was still super strong so just a heads up if that is something you would be interested in. Overall this place wasn't bad, if you're looking to eat somewhere as a group of 4 or more I'd recommend you go elsewhere.

My sister and I found Mika's on yelp & were excited to try their menu based on all of the great reviews. It was fairly busy, many people seemingly working remotely. We ordered 2 iced matcha lattes, the poached egg avocado toast and greek yogurt fruit bowl and had a seat outside. The environment felt homey and the food I do believe was made with love. However, the avocado toast was lacking seasoning and flavor in my personal opinion. I wouldn't recommend the matcha to anyone. It tasted like green milk, which we were kindly given an extra shot of matcha powder for free but it just wasn't good. All of this said, not the worst experience we've had but for around $50 for the two of us we were disappointed.

This is my second review of Mika's.. I am a regular/frequent visitor here..there are many reasons, first and foremost being the great healthy and scrumptious breakfast and lunch options besides its plethora of amazing coffee and tea choices... Before, I reveal, yet another amazing addition to the menu that is out of this world, yet so simple, it would be unfair of me to not show my gratitude to the most welcoming staff working at the front desk .. all of them very respectful, and their service is the reason why Mika has such a wonderful, and inviting ambience for young and older people, and has a very family oriented vibe to it!! Finally, the new big reveal.. it's the Mika's Salad... somehow, the chef Dušanka came up with a perfect medley of greens, spinach, heart of palm, black olives, garbanzo chickpeas, delicious sprinkling of feta cheese and pine nuts and to top it off, request two velvety poached eggs that sit delicately on this bed of goodness, you will keep coming back!!

This was my first time here and I loved the aesthetics and atmosphere. The employees were super helpful and friendly, which made the experience even better. I ordered avocado toast with scrambled eggs, and it came with a small kale salad and cantaloupe. Everything tasted fresh. The toast was thick but didn't overpower the other ingredients, and I especially loved that it came with pickled red onions. I asked for a side of balsamic vinaigrette, which paired perfectly with the toast. Overall, a great experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

Drove by and had to stop for a quick coffee while I continued running my errands. This cute little coffee shop is location in a busy shopping center. What makes it stands out to me is the cute space they created with fresh flowers on each table, variety of board games, and ample seating. The menu is extensive with a variety of drinks to fit anyone's palette! I ordered their new toffee latte. It was delicious, a little sweet for my tastes, but still well balanced and something I'd get again when I'm in the area as long as I remember to stop by before they close in the mid afternoon!

After a meeting at City Hall, I came here with my mom, who had a doctor's appointment just down the road. We stopped in for lunch and it ended up being the most pleasant surprise. The high reviews were super reassuring, and after our visit, I know I made the right move choosing Mika's. First of all, the Spanish latte was hands down the best coffee I've ever had in my life. Light, smooth, not bitter at all and just absolute perfection. My mom got a dirty chai, which was bold, flavorful, and comforting. She said this is the best cup of charge she's had since the past 20 years! I ordered the avocado toast with poached eggs, topped with roasted red peppers, pickled onions, and pumpkin seeds. It was fresh, balanced, and delicious. It came with a small side salad and fresh cantaloupe, which made the meal feel complete. We also shared a pitaya bowl, which was bright, refreshing, and packed with fruit, granola, coconut, and texture. Not overly sweet, just right. What stood out most? The staff. One person made our drinks and cooked the food, all while being professional, calm, and incredibly kind. That kind of care and work ethic is rare. These kinds of interactions with small businesses are exactly what help invest in the kind of treatment, service, and community we want for ourselves and for the generations to come. Corporate chains can't replicate this. Mika's is authentic, clean, welcoming, and full of heart. I'll be coming back for sure. This place deserves all the love it gets.

Service was very friendly. We all enjoyed our coffees and breakfast. Honey cinnamon latte iced was really good. Overall a Little pricey but quality food. Not a lot of seating but there is outside too. Definitely recommend.

Hidden gem. Yummy coffee with great lunch & breakfast options (I had oat meal with banana and raisins). Great service. Tasteful decor, the fresh flowers and mural gives the place an extra nice touch. Plenty of parking.

Avocado Toast with Scrambled Egg Whites! Delicious!!!

Wendy A.

Cozy environment, great service, delicious food! I will definitely be back! I had the Avocado Toast with Scrambled Egg Whites. The sourdough was thick and the seasoning on top was the perfect amount. The cantaloupe and the little salad were yummy, too.

Love this little restaurant! Tucked in an unassuming strip mall off the 78 in San Marcos, Mika's was a great place to have delicious coffee and breakfast. They have fresh made pastries, coffee and surprisingly large menu with various breakfast offerings. I tried my normal order of a vanilla oat latte and avocado toast and was pleasantly surprised and how good they both were. Would recommend and will be back!

Love this little gem! Cute decor, great Avocado Toast, and Cortado. I was even able to custom mine with Honey and Oatmilk. They pair it with sparkling water. The service was great too. Parking was easy. Plenty of seats, even two couches inside and games to play with your friends.

Ran into Mika's randomly. I ordered the latte and it is delicious! Their pastries are amazing. I tasted the creme brûlée croissant which is phenomenal. Will return just for that. Mika, the owner, is also sweet. The place is beautifully decorated, they have free wifi, and a cozy lobby space to work in.

It's clear that all their dishes are freshly made and they have gluten free bread to substitute for many of their dishes which is a big plus.

Passing through town, I paused to grab some coffee and gab with one of my local girlfriends. Such a cute cafe in a busy strwpmall right off the highway 78. My friends food looked so good and I even got flowers with my cookie. Sweet and pretty touch! Food and drinks were nice and enjoyable. I'll come back here again if we need a good meeting place. I can't say it's the best coffee spot I've ever been. I'm pretty picky when it comes to super cool cafes. This one was solid and the ambiance was cozy and quiet for a gal pal catch up! read more

My dad was lamenting the lack of coffee shops that serve coffee in a mug instead of a paper cup so I scrolled through Yelp and found Mika's nearby. We were just going to grab a few pastries until we saw the rest of their menu. The croissant sandwich, avocado toast, and crepes were delicious. Even though they were busy, the servers were very gracious and the whole experience was a sweet Saturday morning surprise. read more

Such a great hidden gem! My friend wanted to meet for coffee and I had never heard of this place. I was so happy when I arrived, it's a perfect little spot. I ordered an iced Mexican mocha, it was served up so lovely. I will be trying a regular coffee next time tho! I must add that their homemade scones were perfection! I had the jalapeño and Cheddar cheese and it was soooo good! My friend had a cappuccino and a bowl of oatmeal and she loved it! The service was great, everyone was so friendly! They also have outdoor seating which was a must!! The ooooonly feedback I have for the owner/manager/employees is that you should never use strong smelling cleaning agents in a restaurant/cafe.

Checked this place out for two reasons: 1) I wanted to find a new breakfast place that is in an easy-to-get-to location. 2) The wonderful people of Yelp had great things to say about it. I was not disappointed. Went to breakfast with my dad and son who both also absolutely loved it. It's a small café tucked into the rather busy shopping center on Nordahl. When we arrived the doors were wide open and inviting. Walked up to the counter and the people helping us were so nice, helpful and felt genuinely sincere. The vanilla latte is good, the Mexican mocha late is AMAZING. My dad order the egg white omelet, which he loved. He kept saying how it was the perfect amount of food to feel full but not bloated. Kudos to perfect portion sizes. My son ordered the waffle, which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The fruit on the waffle was fresh and delicious. It's topped with powdered sugar and Nutella (or something like it). My son demolished the whole thing and told the waitress that this is his new "favorite place to eat." So they certainly earned a new fan. I had the avocado toast with poached eggs. It was spectacular. The eggs are poached perfectly, the avocado was fresh, the toast was light and fluffy with nice crisp on the edges. I was really impressed. Again, a perfect serving size as well. Finished the food, didn't feel like I overate. It was just right. There are some other menu items we did not try, but will be returning to try including a croissant breakfast sandwich, crepes, oatmeal, and acai bowl. I also want to add, that another table had left a bit after we arrived. They take great pride in their cleaning, they were wearing gloves using clean supplies and cleaner and did a thorough wipe down of the table and surrounding area. I was really happy to see them take so much pride in their cleanliness. It further supports the pride and attention to detail they put into their food. They won 3 fans today and we will definitely be returning! read more

This was possibly one of the worst breakfasts I've ever had. It's extremely disappointing to spend $40+ for two people to eat, then experience the type of meal and service we did. We ordered a breakfast bagel and a breakfast plate, one of which came out 10-15 minutes before the other, so we did not get to eat together. The breakfast plate had items on it that weren't even listed on the menu. The eggs were undercooked, and the scone that I subbed my english muffin for tasted like flour. My husband got the breakfast bagel and the bagel was so stale that he couldn't even bite through it, or cut it with a fork and knife. It was hard as a rock and served so long after me that we just left before even finishing. Extremely misleading reviews, not happy with this food. read more

It was delicious with all the toppings on it (it had a lot!). I ordered the waffles which usually comes with everything on it but it was for my picky 5 yr old so I asked for everything on the side. I ordered the croissant breakfast sandwich for myself. It has eggs, cheese, bacon, tomato and spinach. Very yummy!!! Of course I also had the Mexican mocha and also delicious!!!

One word to describe Caffé Caffé? PHENOMENAL. It was my first time in today and I had a PHENOMENAL experience. From the second I walked in, it was a sight to see. The space is intimate and felt safe. I was immediately drawn to the glass display window where the salads were stored. Everything looked colorful, delicious, and healthy! However, because I came in with a mission (to try their Chai Latte), I simply stared the ingredients down intently and promised myself to try them the next time around, guaranteeing a second visit. The service (by the one and only, Beba) was also PHENOMENAL. She was warm and welcoming, bright, hardworking and brought me joy, as her Serbian name would suggest. It was a pleasure to get to know Beba today, her barista skills were just as PHENOMENAL as her customer service performance. I'm a huge fan of Chai Lattes and I had to try Caffé Caffé's. It did not disappoint! I requested to have my espresso shot on the side, as to not affect the originality of the Chai and Beba kindly accommodated my (picky) request. I'm so grateful to have more local hubs like this one pop up around North County San Diego! I pray everyone tries them so they stick around for a long, long time.

As a non-coffee drinker, it's very important to me to find places with alternative beverages to coffee. I have had great experiences in the past with their seasonal flavors. I tried their chai, and I was disappointed. Their chai is a powdered, and not worth $7. Would not recommend the chai beverage for chai lovers. I wouldn't recommend their matcha beverage either as it did not taste like high quality matcha in my opinion. Would love to come back if their recipe changes for these beverages. Their food looks great and I hope to try it soon. read more

I also ordered the almond croissant and feta slice (forgot what it's called) It did take a long time to get our drinks and food, but they were worth it! It's definitely a place to sit and chill at, not really to the to go. They take their time to give you quality drinks and food. Like mentioned above, the owners were very sweet, and I appreciated their friendliness. I'm definitely coming back when I am in the area. Try this place out friends! Happy yelping, Mis amigos y amigas. read more

Dang - had an amazing turkey and ham Panini with a spread or sauce that I've never tasted before. I'm a foodie and it takes a lot to wow me. It was fantastic. Went next door to a European little grocery store and discovered the sauce and so so much more, they are Eastern European products that I've never seen before. Cordado was excellent as well read more

I love this new little place! The atmosphere is peaceful and eclectic. With nice decor and comfy seats. The coffee is Calabria coffee and if you know this coffee you will know why this is exciting I had a packed egg avocado toast that was done to perfection. Originally done with sourdough bread I replaced it with a delicious croissant. The young woman and chef were friendly and would brought my food and drink to me. My niece and I really enjoyed the time we spent there. Looking forward to more coffee dates and remote work time at this place. read more

[Parking]: Free private parking lot with plenty of available spots. [Reservation & Price]: Our party booked an advanced one-hour reservation session on the website from 4 PM to 5 PM on a Saturday. The price is $20 + $0.51 booking fee per adult (ages 16+) for a one-hour session. [Experience]: Our party checked in at the front counter and hung out in the waiting area. The waiting area sells various pug merchandise and also has a touchscreen pinball machine. There is a unisex restroom available. Once our party stepped into a separate pink & clean room, the staff went over instructions on how to handle the pugs. Visitors are allowed to pick up the pugs but cannot carry them while standing. Any pug wearing a pink bandana is available for adoption. Each of us received few free treats to start, but additional treats like pupccino (a small pup cup), sausage treats, or fruit cups are available for purchase. The staff was friendly and was playing fun & energetic background music during the pug session. Our party didn't stay for the entire hour and left around the 45-minute mark because we had a dinner plan afterward. [Conclusion]: Our party had fun playing with the pugs and took plenty of photos. It was a fun and Instagrammable experience & I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who's visiting the Escondido area.

I got there at 9am on a Monday with a co-worker. We ordered coffee and then started working on our laptops. From the get go we could tell the cashier woman was NOT a friendly person, it was like we were annoying her by being in her cafe. Our goal was to work there for the day and eat lunch there as well. There were hardly any other customers in the place the entire time we were there. At about 11:20 the cashier woman came to our table with our original receipt and showed us the time stamp on the receipt and said, "I told you you can only be here for about an hour, this is not the kind of cafe where you can sit and work all day." I said, "It's only 11:20, it's not even lunch time, we planned on ordering lunch here as well." She just walked away and said nothing. We should have left but we were in the middle of working. We did end up ordering food, 2 avocado toast dishes. They made one of them incorrectly and they tasted just OK. We certainly didn't tip her and we certainly will NOT be going back there EVER again. There are other reviewers who feel the same way about this woman, read carefully before you consider giving this place a single penny, she doesn't deserve your business. We are always looking for nice little cafes to work from, she could have gotten 2 new customers for life, instead she gets this review and maybe one day will learn a lesson.

Mr. mustache man is also a terrible choice for a manager role as he provides zero value to this team. No sense of awareness when his teams tables are clearly looking for their server. I actually never saw him visit a table. He also gave attitude to my family... he just chilled at the front of the house. This is why people prefer Mama Kats, Mariah's or literally any other breakfast spot in the area.

I stopped by Mika's Cafe a couple of months ago to catch up with a friend over coffee, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The cafe is certainly a solid option for a casual meet-up. We had no trouble finding a comfortable spot to sit and chat. The customer service was good. As for the coffee and atmosphere, it was good, hitting all the right notes for a standard neighborhood cafe. Everything was well-executed, but nothing stood out as particularly distinctive or exciting. It delivered exactly what we needed: a relaxed setting and a good cup of coffee. read more

I stopped by this spot on a Sunday morning and found the staff to be very friendly. It was fairly busy but I still managed to get a table. The line to order was a bit long, though it moved fairly quickly. I got a latte and an almond croissant, both of which were good. The downside, however, was that the tables weren't very clean. When guests left, the hostess cleared the plates but didn't actually wipe down or sanitize the tables, which felt a little unsanitary. Hopefully that's something they can improve on. read more

I discovered this cafe a few weeks ago and absolutely love it and have been back 4 times already! They have one of the best lattes I've ever had, and my daughters love their matcha. I haven't tried the pastries but they look amazing and the service is also super friendly. It's also a cute space inside with some seats outside as well. Their prices are also reasonable, especially for the quality. Highly recommend! read more
