Update: we visited again today, mid day. Super busy inside and out. Same lovely service and great coffees and pastry. I tried a flat white today, excellent! And a blueberry scone. I am serious when I say this was the best scone I have ever eaten. Moist, rich flavors, plump blueberries! And served warm with whipped cream and jam on the side. Amazing. (See photos!). Our first visit to this cute comfy coffee house was absolutely perfect in every way! We were warmly greeted when we arrived (with eye contact), service was friendly fast and efficient, interesting and diverse pastry and food selections. Comfy couches and chairs with pillows, or lots of table options too. Funny coffee house sayings on the walls to get you smiling, and some cool art hanging too! (Thank you for supporting our local

My husband and I were looking for a new coffee shop and Mika's had just opened. It's tucked away, and doesn't look like much from the outside yet (banner in lieu of name sign, etc.) but the minute you step in, it's like a different world. Cool ambience that doesn't try too hard to be cool, plenty of seating including couches; huge menu for beverages, breakfast, lunch, snacks; wonderful pastries; and incredibly friendly and professional staff. We will be back. Soon.

Raspberry Matcha scone! Thank me later!! This place has hands down the best food I've tasted in California! I've learned that the owner was a pastry chef for 20+ years and she still makes everything herself! Being from Europe myself I was always struggling to find healthy and good tasting food here. This reminds me of Europe. There is a huge line on the weekend so I guess I'm not the only one in love with this place it's definitely worth a wait! They even have blankets if you're sitting outside! They even have Gluten free options. My kid has severe allergies and this is a place where we can eat together.

Cozy cafe with excellent service and tasty food and beverages. Had the eggs Benedict, avocado toast with poached eggs, chai latte. Yum! Fresh cantaloupe and kale on the side. Feels family owned and operated. Great place!!

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.
