    This morning, I had the country skillet. I have visited this place four or five times and so far this is the best one..
    Sir C.

    Food is always good, good service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And I like the music playlist![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom is always clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of toilet paper and soap to clean your hands.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll be back!!

    Chorizo y Huevo Scramble
    Jordan E.

    Came to the cafe on a random Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised that such a local spot could deliver such amazing quality food. Both pancakes and the scramble were superb. The hashbrowns perfectly golden which is funnily enough hard to get at cafe/diner nowadays. The jalapeño's in the scramble were also delicious with plenty of flavor. Will definitely be returning with the great service as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only critique is the ambience is cute and quaint, but to perhaps raise the volume on the music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entire time you can hear the fridge display louder than anything else in here[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Came to try brunch at Mikayla's and it was a good experience! It's a small plaza but not busy so we could easily find parking. Service was quick and kind! The pricing is pretty standard. I got the spicy crab cakes which was delicious and surprisingly pretty spicy. My boyfriend got the hot mama scramble and it was good. I wish there was more even balance of everything but there was a lot of sausage. The potatoes were yummy, but the hashbrowns really stole the show. We got the French toast to share and it was perfect texture.

    Nice breakfast place that has a wide selection and good quality. Came right at the crack of dawn when they opened and was greeted with a warm welcome. The food was decent and a nice start to the morning. Portions were a bit lacking but overall ok value.

    Granny's Hash with sourdough. Amazing.

    I've only gotten pick up from here (twice) but each time it is such a solid breakfast meal! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is casual with lots of seating, even some seating at the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I sat at the bar while I waited for my food. Service was friendly as well The corn beef breakfast meal is my favorite. I got it with scrambled eggs and hash browns and it was beyond perfect. The eggs were fluffy and the hash browns had the best crust. Sour dough toast was delish as well, however I would like two pieces not just one. I also got a pancake and chose bacon and chocolate chips as toppings. It came out as one large pancake with the bacon on top and mini chocolate chips in a container. It was delicious as well. I also got a fresh squeezed orange juice, which was decent. Would repeat this meal in a heart beat!

    Mikayla's is a OG bay area brunch spot that has been long standing classic that everyone frequents They deliver high quality food and great service to everyone! This is one of two locations and both locations have high quality food! Overall great place for brunch or breakfast! [[HIGHLIGHT]]May get busy at peak hours[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I definitely recommend any of their pancakes and eggs benedict as all of them taste fresh and in house made! Their hashbrowns are also unique and has very good texture and flavor

    Crepe Southbay Style

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely little spot for breakfast or brunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We stopped there while in town for Metallica weekend!!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was friendly and prompt, outdoor seating was comfy and shaded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was attentive to umbrella positions and making sure you're comfortable. The prices were reasonable. I wish I had paid attention to their coffee options before ordering a regular cup of coffee but I was happy that they offered Oatmilk and other non-dairy options. We had the crepes, South Bay style... hella good! The toasted coconut was the perfect addition. We also had the chicken and waffle, the waffle was perfect. The chicken was good, but more Asian style in the batter so included a little cornstarch to keep the batter crispy and the chicken tender - I just don't like the texture it gives the meat - personal issue lol We will definitely return next time we are in town! Oh added bonus - they didn't make you feel rushed, even with a line of people waiting for tables.

    When there's a line, stop here!

    I was in town for the Metallica concerts and staying at the Aloft Santa Clara. I was looking for a great spot for breakfast and hit a home-run with my decision to eat at Mikayla's Café on Tasman Drive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I knew I must have pick the right spot when I arrive and found a line outside waiting for seating. That's always a great sign you've picked a popular place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went inside and put my name on the wait list and in about 15 minutes, I was seated on a Satruday morning. My biggest decision was selecting what I wanted to eat. The menu is packed with so many delectable breakfast items. I went with the Hot Mama signature scramble and it was super tasty and a large portion. Loved the spicy Cajun sausage, with onions, bell peppers and mushrooms. I saw lots of diners ordering drinks served in a large glass mug and handle and said I got to get one of those. The iced coffee was delish. Super efficient and friendly service. Can't wait to come back on Sunday for round #2.

    Chicken fried steak is wonderful. Gravy is flavored, consistent and tasty. The hash browns were fried, buttery and well seasoned. The coffee drinks are delicious too

    Eggs Benedict wonderful
    Lisa T.

    Friendly with huge portions. This neighborhood has slim pickings for brunch so we were happy to find it!

    UFC (Ultimate Fried Chicken)
    Lola M.

    The food was phenomenal. We had the Morning Burger and ultimate fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was spicy but the coleslaw balanced it well. I will be returning.

    Country Skillet
    Lili M.

    Came here on a trip to Great America as our pit stop / breakfast of the day. We randomly found this place online when looking for some where to eat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is small, but it's clean and the staff were friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was slow and quiet when we came and our food came out pretty quick I would say. We all ordered different things and in general we enjoyed the food. I had gotten a country skillet that was potatoes, eggs, and country gravy. It was super filling! Other people in the group got French toast and a breakfast sandwich and they liked their choices. My coffee was ok, not very strong, and the hot chocolate also lacked flavor. If I was in the area I would come back and try some other things.

    We were seated right away for Sunday lunch. Most tables were taken and it's not a big restaurant but luckily didn't have the overcrowded vibe. I got the All American Favorite and chose bacon, poached eggs, hashbrowns, and sourdough toast. Can't really go wrong with these classic breakfast items and I had no complaints! Tried the buttermilk pancake too which was my favorite item! It was fluffy and so good with the powdered sugar, butter, and syrup. Food came out pretty quickly and service was good. Would come back!

Beautiful, flaky, sweet and savory; there are so many delicious options. Gourmet pastries with gourmet coffee equals perfection. Best way to start the morning. I love that. You can actually see them fresh baking pastries while you're sitting. We didn't go overly sweet because it was the morning, but I would love to come back in the afternoon to have a nice sweet treat and a cappuccino. For my family of three we definitely got over excited in order too much, but each bite was delicious. We got a leek quiche, a banana latte, spinach, artichoke danish, mango croissant, almond croissant, and a ham and cheese croissant. I was trying to increase the protein to not spike my blood sugar. Lol. I'd have to say the mango and the almond croissant were probably my favorite. The strong second would definitely be the artichoke and spinach croissant danish thing. Sorry, I forgot what they called it. They offered to heat it up a bit and I definitely recommend this. They did the perfect temperature for the perfect timing. Just enough to make the outside flaky and the inside warm and soft. The pieces that had cheeses were so much better warmed up. They definitely know what they're doing there. Seating was great. I'd love the decor. You can also order off of a menu, but we were too enamored with the actual pastries to even glance at it. I took photos but made sure to not take photos of the staff. I let the staff know that I wouldn't include their faces without their permission. they were very friendly and very appreciative. My family loved your little shop and we will definitely be back when we're in the area.

The burrito was huge and the leftovers were almost enough for another meal. It was really good and hearty. All the ingredients tasted very fresh, the steak was a bit chewy but other than that it was good. Service was also fast and the waitress checked up on us a lot. Highly recommend for your next brunch spot or outing with the family.

There might be a parking lot nearby. My only suggestion to the staff is for them to wear a hairnet or something similar. The last sandwich I purchased had to be thrown away after I took a big bite out of it and pulled out a long strand of hair from inside my mouth . It was fully mixed in with the meat and I didn't realize it was there until I was already chewing on it. Unfortunately I won't be able to go there again for awhile from feeling a bit grossed out from this experience.

It wasn't crazy busy so it was easy to order through one of their two tablets and find a spot to sit. It is very spacious and filled with many tables, so even when busy you'll likely be able to find a spot. The menu is a bit messy to look at--there is a big menu hanging over the kiosks, another posted alongside where a line is formed, then the menu on the tablet kiosks themselves. It's a pretty big menu featuring primarily coffee-based drinks, matcha lattes, and a wide variety of food, so you'll likely find something appealing. I ordered their smoked salmon bagel (which rang up to about $16) and their matcha latte ($8); to be honest, neither were outstanding. The salmon and avocado in the bagel were great, but the bagel itself was a bit stale--for $16, it's a bit hard to swallow. The matcha was very milky, and there is another store offering better matcha drinks in the same plaza. I'll admit, though, it's a little on me for not picking coffee at a spot with "coffee" in the name. I will say, though, that the atmosphere in the main area is pretty good; the decor is understated but comfortable, and the lighting is good. The service is also solid--the servers are friendly and our order came out quickly. I will say that the bathroom feels ominous. Overall, it's a great spot to study; Big Mug is open late, has free Wi-Fi and a bathroom for customers, and offers both food and caffeinated drinks for longer study sessions. I feel that the prices vary widely for items but skew towards being too pricy for the quality, at least from my limited experience. I plan on coming back to give other items a try, but for now, it's not a favorite.
