Overall, our experience was great -- delicious food, kind staff, and excellent service. Highly recommend!

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!!

I was expecting a milder strawberry flavor with a stronger coffee presence, but the strawberry overpowered the coffee. I'm open to trying it again another time. None of the pastries caught my attention during this visit. I also wish the menu was displayed more clearly. Currently it sits on the countertop, and I didn't notice prices listed. It would be helpful if the menu were better organized, especially separating hot and iced drinks with their sizes.

We came right when the cafe opened and were the only ones there so far. Even though the drinks can be on the pricier side, they are well worth it! I got the peppermint mocha and it was delightful. It wasn't too sweet and the taste was great. I would gladly return to this cafe. I love all the decorations and informative signs as well.

I was scrolling on yelp for a good mom and pop coffee shop and found this hidden gem in Escondido…read more You all go not sleep on trying this place! You walk in and the vibes were so welcoming, clean, vibrant, comfy, and spacious. Loved all the details of the artwork and colors they put in to their space. Take time to read the captions of the photos on wall -- it made me feel so connected to the coffee shops origins! I love a good story and knowing the heartbeat of a business. I told the barista how I randomly found them asked her what was their most ordered drink? She told me the De La Olla Latte, Horchata Latte, and Blueberry Matcha. I was in a coffee mood so I went with the De La Olla Latte, got it half sweetened, with oat milk and got it hot. This cup of coffee was one of the best the had. The quality and taste of their coffee beans from Mexico do not disappoint! Also the extra flavoring for this speciality drink was so flavorful too. Well worth the taste, experience, and price! I also ordered a Cardamom Vanilla Cinnamon Morning Bun to go with it. My word the pastry was perfectly made with its softness and outside crunch, and the flavors were so well balanced none of it was over powering or too sweet. The barista's customer service was also so welcoming, kind, and took time to explain their drinks and any other questions I had. She put the cherry in top of my experience there. I am already looking forward to going back to try out their blueberry match or horchata latte! Plus I heard they have bomb conchas. Overall: 10/10 would recommend!

The turnover 11/10, and I will make special trips just to get great pastries. The service here is very kind, inviting and so helpful. They have some seating inside and a few tables outside as well for ample seating. The ONLY negative thing about this place they have no control over. The parking SUCKS OUT LOUD. I hate trying to park in downtown Escondido. I can't take anything away from them for this but-for me- the frustration in this keeps it from being my regular place. If you live in the area and like good coffee and food, 100% would recommend

Their coffee tends towards a brighter, citric flavor that reminds me very much of cold brew. Which I don't care for. But others might! So if a brighter, lighter flavor is what you enjoy (what up tea people) then this might be the place you're looking for. And again, I adore the vibe here. Probably the chillest work/read spot in all of Escondido. Parking can be rough if downtown is busy, but only if you're adamant about needing to be very close for mobility reasons etc. Otherwise you can usually find something walkable. Beautiful, open cafe with a lovely view of the small park across the street and downtown Esco.

And picked up an almost croissant. They do not shelve non fat milk, but have oat and almond. So I went with oat. Two customers that came after me go thier drinks first. And when mine came up, it was lovely but not right. It was a cold mocha. They remade it. It was just a wee annoying, especially since I was coming here with the hopes of a mind blowing experience. The coffee was fine. The staff seem to know the local regulars and chat them up appropriately. The seating it still hard and uncomfortable. I'll try again one more time to see if hey flip my bippy. So far two stars for they way they interacted with other. One star for the pastry and the coffee mis up and late service was a - of stars. And my picky pastry folks (she knows who she is) would say it's not a true croissant, as there are cuts across the pastry... but it's buttery and flaky..
