The Empanadas were fantastic wish they were larger because it was so yummy. My daughter got a bagel with cream cheese and it was toasted to perfection Only 2 girls working so service was a little slow but we were in no hurry. Very clean, polite, and good vibes Check it out and support local

The employees were all so sweet too! We ordered the iced classic matcha latte and the salted maple latte. I like to order a classic matcha to get a taste for it, and their matcha was great quality. I'd absolutely come back to try their banana matcha! The salted maple latte was also delish - I would get it half sweet next time for my preference. Can't wait to take a friend here!

I got the tiramisu latte, which is recommended by my friends and it did not disappoint. It was really really good! I also got some bacon and egg bites that were good. My latte with oat milk and the egg bites came out to $14 which isn't too bad. Cute place overall to hang out and grab a cup of coffee.

Found a new favorite spot!…read more Blue Mug Cafe is a total hidden gem. Fast service and great vibes. It's popular and stays busy, but the team here moves fast. I tried Steph's Special (Americano + Vanilla Bean Powder) both ways hot and iced. The iced version with whipped cream is 10/10. The decor is so cute, with plenty of seating options both indoors and outdoors. I love that they support the community with local artwork for sale and a Little Free Library (take a book share a book) in the corner. I also saw they have a fruit series. I'll definitely be back to try their matcha!

The place isn't huge, but they make good use of the space and have lots of seating (and wifi) if you want to sit and do work for a while. We got the Banana kona ice blended, which was absolutely delicious, and iced vanilla latte, which was solid and very tasty. Glad we took the gamble and will definitely be back !

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

I love the ambience here, but always feel a little meh about the coffee, but let me explain: I'm a…read morebold coffee person. I love a rich roast. 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.

The atmosphere is great and while busy, the shop never seems to get too loud or dirty. The food is amazing!! Drinks are just okay, but I'm insanely picky so most people should end up liking them. The people I brought here have loved their drinks (usually lattes of some sort). Service is great and the staff have all been super patient and knowledgable both times I stopped by. Parking is okay. I despise the Nordahl Marketplace parking lot with every fiber of my being but Mika's is def worth it!

The employee who helped me came across as grumpy and unfriendly, making me feel like I was inconveniencing them. A simple smile or kind attitude would have made a big difference, especially on a special occasion. It was my first time visiting your place.

I need to give those a try I got the coffee soda basically like an espresso tonic pretty good the glass that it comes i in his super cool and different to most of the places you get coffee at the side of the building is small, but still kind of spacious in a way gives us pretty cool atmosphere. I heard they're gonna do some more upgrades to the inside, making it feel a little more home like that's cool cause I like cozy spots with a manly touch concrete leather metals. It's just a vibe.

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..

My only surprise was that the breakfast burrito seemed to have sausage in it, even though the menu listed turkey bacon, eggs, and cheese. It wasn't bad, just a little heartier than I was expecting.
