Mishka's Cafe

Quick stop in Davis for lunch break and we found this adorable coffee shop. We had mint latte and cappuccino. Mint cappuccino was delicious with a subtle minty flavor. The m&m cookie was huge and delish!

We love this place and the hot chocolate is the best! Every time we come to Davis we have a little treat here and our favorite Mexican Mocha and Lavender Latte. The outside sitting area is limited but if you get lucky you can find a nice comfortable table. Surrounded by beautiful threes.

Cheese cake was the best I’ve had at a coffee shop. Loved the atmosphere, felt relaxing. The oat milk latte was creamy and delicious. Wasn’t impressed with the mishkaccinos blended coffee. But plenty of sweets and treats to choose from, and the their hot coffee was great!

My favorite coffee shop in Davis. Love the cappuccino! I order with oat milk and cinnamon. Hits the spot every time, they also give you a delicious dark chocolate covered coffee bean to compliment the drink. Local artist’s work is on display as well. Thanks Mishkas ☕️ ♥️🐱 -Anthonyxibarrax

A great cafe to sit back and relax with heir cozy indoor space and outdoor seating for cooler days. I enjoy the unique menu and twist on classic drinks. Very big tea options as well.

Whenever my sisters and I visit the Davis Farmer's Market, we always stop at Mishka's. The abundant seating, tall ceilings, and natural light make for a comfortable ambiance and the coffee is superb. We love having quality coffee and bonding time at Mishka's!

Mishka’s Café is hands down one of my all-time favorite coffee shops — not just in Davis, but anywhere. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warm, cozy energy that makes this place so special. It’s the perfect blend of artsy, relaxed, and timeless — a true Davis landmark. The coffee is exceptional — rich, smooth, and brewed to perfection every single time. You can tell they take real pride in what they serve. Their espresso drinks are amazing, the pastries are always fresh, and everything pairs perfectly with the calm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether I’m meeting a friend, studying, or just taking a quiet moment for myself, Mishka’s always delivers the perfect experience. The staff is friendly, the music is mellow, and the entire vibe makes you want to stay for hours. It’s more than just a café — it’s a community spot with heart and soul. If you’re in Davis, do not skip Mishka’s. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why you fell in love with coffee in the first place.

The coffee here is rich and well rounded for those who enjoy real coffee. The horchatta late was a subtle sweet that let the coffee shine. The pastries are wonderful. My coffee cake was buttery and soft, easily the best I've ever had. The owner is a kind no nonsense gentleman who keeps a quaint, wonderful shop.

Good and creative variety of coffee drinks. I liked the multigrain croissant and also the ham and cheese. During the week it is hectic and depending on the time, parking can be difficult. It gets easier on weekends. I will come back to try more pastries.

The cafe itself is like library, because it is filled with students using computer, doing their homework. Also it's totally self service so you need to get the drink and food all by yourself to the table. I sat outside and the drink is so full that it spelt over my trousers...Anyway, the taste of food is just okay, but i really enjoy the outside atmosphere, because basically you sit under an unknown tree and the white petals keep falling down, it's like in a japanese movie.

I got a lavender latte and a pastry. In terms of specialty coffee, there wasn't any super nice latte art done or anything. It tasted good though, not too sweet. I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of the atmosphere of the Cafe though. It's very crowded and can smell a little musty. The decoration is cozy though. I think they sell a wide variety of teas which is nice for noncoffee drinkers.

I was enjoying my coffee before hitting the road back to the Bay Area. I opted for the cappuccino, and it definitely tasted great. Even though I've been to Davis before, I never had the chance to visit this cafe, and I must say it didn't disappoint.

Cozy environment with good coffee, tea & pastry options, a few outlets to recharge (would be nice if you could add a few more), the big windows add lots of light and the staff is kind

I love this cafe it’s beautiful and the employees are nice. I used to come here all the time when I was a student. However, they have cheaped out on their internet. If you are meeting a friend to socialize it would be a perfect spot! I don’t think the foods anything special but the drinks are really good!! Which is why I am giving them 3 outta 5. When I went there the cafe was only half full and I thought I lucked out! Then I realized the internet was so slow I’d have to pack up and leave anyhow.

Cold food, cold coffee, bad service, and overcrowded. I know that a lot of people like Mishka's, but the experience during my last visit was very frustrating. Half my order was forgotten, and my crumb cake was cold and hard. Even the ordering process was difficult, because the employee didn't know how to use the computer. I've been to Mishka's at least 100 times...and the quality has steadily gone down, until I finally got the the point where I have to give it a bad review. This is not the same Miskas as it was...

I went here to try something different in Davis and I was dissatisfied. I ordered a chai latte and it tasted like heated water and spices, my friend who ordered the same said it was the worst chai latte she'd ever had. I asked the barista about it and she was put out by my question and only added steamed milk to what was served. We ended up throwing them out. It's a shame because the venue is so nice and it does have a nice energy about it. I also ordered the pecan bar, that was excellent. I might try it again and get a coffee but I was a bit upset about the service. With all the great coffee places within 3 blocks I would not recommend Mishka's.

This place has decent coffee, but the customer service is like a competition in who can roll their eyes the hardest. Every time I order, I feel like I’m inconveniencing them just by existing. You don’t just get caffeine here..you get a side of attitude. Honestly, it’s kind of impressive how consistently rude they are. If you’re into paying good money to feel like a burden, this is your spot.

Today, I watched a barista scrape some scum from the back counter and put it into a drink. . . I've been going to this coffee shop for over a decade, but I won't be coming back.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Ordered an iced Mexican mocha with an extra shot. Didn’t like it. Spent 8$ on it for it to Taste spicy and way to powdery, Not sure why but what really got me was the manager. I walked in asking if I could get another drink remade, manger said no. I asked for a refund manager said no. They tried to give me a discount to BUY another drink. Why would I want to buy another drink at a discount if I didn’t like the first 1. Anyways beware of manager, she was rude and not helpful. I also work at a coffee shop and this is not how we treat costumers, if they didn’t like their drink I would have gladly remade it.
