This place was such a special experience. Not only is the coffee and food excellent but the service was exceptional. It was as if we were guests in a fun home. We had their ham and egg breakfast sandwiches with coffee. Tasted so fresh like a home cooked meal. They also have this delicious anti inflammatory drink that was extremely good, he called it a “vaccine in a cup” lol definitely tasted the medicinal properties but it was enjoyable to drink.Thank you for being apart of a great weekend. We will be back!
Great food!! We were at Carmel by the Sea which can get busy for breakfast,nap we decided to venture out.. found this gem not so far away and was glad we did.The owner was super friendly and very accommodating. I asked if it was too early for fish and his response was, its never too early... He made me this amazing grilled salmon with jalepenos. my wife asked about tamales that he then suggested to try it with an egg since it was breakfast, and it was deliciousIf you are in the area or somewhat close, give this place a try. Only caveat to be aware of, they dont take cards, so cash or Venmo to pay
We stopped here on the way home from a trip and couldn’t have ended the trip in a better way! Horace was so kind and friendly and our food and coffee were incredible! I got the sausage breakfast burrito and my husband got the chorizo one. We both had vanilla lattes that were delicious! Highly recommend Coffee Mia!
Awesome food & great service !!! PLEASE if your in Marina, you MUST go check this place out. The food is amazing and the staff & customer service are the best in the area. Coffee is fantastic here too. All of the dishes are very reasonably priced and good portions. Again, the food is the best in the while area for breakfast or lunch. Their pastries are also VERY good. I cant say enough great stuff about this place. MUST SEE if your anywhere near Marina Ca.
Nice lil local coffee joint. The coffee is excellent and they have all the coffee mutations youll need - mocha, etc... lots of pastries and stuff like breakfast burritos. Staff was great - lots of personality. Would go again just based on the coffee.
The overall experience of this restaurant was superior! You get a fresh cup of coffee because they’re all done as “poor overs”.. We had a breakfast croissant sandwich, with chorizo, which was fresh and flavorful. The pastries are excellent and the customer service was over the top!
I hadnt been to Monterey in a very long time. Personal issues brought me here. I just happened to find Mias and Horace (I hoped I spelled his name correctly). What a ray of sunshine. We need more people like him in the world. Great food too. Thank you and bless you Horace. I will definitely be back 😊.
Good food but super slow. Be prepared to wait for a while as they serve friends and regulars that come after you. 45 minutes from order to eggs arriving.
Great breakfast place with a relaxed family atmosphere. Pour over coffee and a full menu. Food and service was amazing. Thank you
Cute, little, happening place to get coffee, tea, specialty beverages and quick-serve gourmet food items. Say hello to the kind, hard-working owner, Horace, whenever u go there.
Great Coffee ☕ I love the pour overs here. I recently tried a Bullet Proof Coffee.
Very good coffee and even better people. Horace, Allie and others are always happy and welcoming.
Very yummy, the man working there is very kind. Also Mr.Robert loves it
Fun, friendly, welcoming! Horace makes you feel like part of the family the moment you walk in. And he obviously remembers everyone the 2nd time they walk in, even if it is just for a second cup he remembers the roast you are drinking.
Had the light roast drip coffee. Its was excellent and the staff was very friendly and personable!
This place has great service, food, and coffee. Would definitely recommend! The owner is really friendly and personable.
Excellent variety of coffees and pastries. Friendly owner Horace, courteous staff and quick service.
We visited on the first morning of our vacation and returned every day therafter, not only for the great breakfast food and coffee but to visit with Horace, the owner. Always greeted with a warm welcome and made to feel at home. Great, great place.
I’ve come a total of 3 times and I must say I’ve never felt judged, watched or confused. The coffee is always amazing and they’re desserts are extra sweet. The owner makes it seem like this place is too good to be true. The service isn’t worth me talking about because I could do it no justice by how wonderful they’ll treat you. And for that I keep coming back!
This is one of the best restaurants Ive been to just because of the service that was provided. The workers are so positive and happy, you can tell that they want to be there!
Best breakfast place with a side of great service😊. The sweet Italian coffee hits the spot!
What a find. I have driven by 100s if not a thousand times. My wife and I now have a great breakfast spot!
Amazing food and staff! We loved the bread pudding, Tuscan chicken panini, and panini Mia. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
Magical place. Food is maybe 4 stars, but this place gets 10 stars ✨
Great little coffee shop. Wonderful selection of breakfast items. Amazing coffee. Will definitely be going back.
This place is a home away from home, great food, great coffee shop, even better family that runs it!
Many excellent choices for breakfast. Eggs Volcano is our familys favorite. Their Bullet coffee is the best!
Owner is a blast, super interactive and made our quick stop there an experience. Food was great also, breakfast panini and coffee were amazing!
Delicious New York breakfast and lovely homey Mom and pop business
Delicious fresh coffee and baked goods. Enjoyed chatting with the charismatic owner.
Great pour over and great tasting pastries. Highly recommended and will definitely return
This place is fantastic. You feel like you are at home or a places your friends will be at. The food is fresh and prepared with the best ingredient, LOVE.The owner knows your name and cares about his customers.God bless this cafe.
Terrific coffee, good breakfast selection available and pleasant outdoor seating area.
Neither people working were wearing masks. Pastry and coffee were good.
Great stop for breakfast! The owner is really nice and welcoming. Definitely a favorite for locals
Good food. Positive staff. Strong coffee.
Absolutely wonderful genuine kind people very friendly atmosphere wonderful food Wonderful Coffee I highly recommend stopping
Dude making coffee seemed like a great guy but wore his mask under his chin while he whistled along making everyones order. Even coughed off to the side. This is a tourist area, just wear the mask. (3 stars tho because his personality was fantastic)
Great place. So friendly and good vibes.
I would rather give my business to a place like this than starbucks, and my first several visits were great. Today, the gentleman making the coffee and working the register had his buff around his neck. Pulled it back up at my request saying I just had my coffee, dont worry im healthy as an ox then took it back off while serving the next customer after I was in my car.Youre serving people food, you have a responsibility to do better than that. Take your coffee break outside and keep a mask on inside.
Excellent coffee and food. Great service.
Food here is super good and the people are super friendly!
First time visiting here. menu seemed varied, some uncommon coffee choices, like a bulletproof brew. seemed like I waited quite some time to even be acknowledged while the single server (owner, I presume) finished what seemed like a private conversation with a friend. Was really ready to just leave when she finally admitted I was there. Ignoring that, coffee was good, well priced, great temp. I will definitely return, look forward to it, maybe try out a sandwich, just hope to be treated a little more like a valued customer.
Super friendly service. Great coffee, I try to hit up some of these local shops rather than go to chains and its so worth it. The coffee was brewed to perfection, not over done like some leading coffee places. They offer all types of sweetner including organic raw honey. Cute atmosphere inside and offer indoor & outdoor seating. Great spot!
A place with good vibes. Tomato, mozzarella and pesto sandwich was awesome!
The coffee was good and so was the food
Excellent food great dirty chai. I will be making this a daily stop
The Coffee Mia Brew Bar & Cafe .It was the first time I have been there. I didnt know that it a cash only place. I ordered a large strong black coffee. So the owner said pay me next time. Another customer paid for my coffee. I Will be Back. Great service Great coffee. Fantastic customers.10 Stars.
Delicious food, AWESOME and friendly owner and workers! 100% will go back as often as possible!
What a fantastic place! We chanced upon this little cafe while visiting from Canada, and were so delighted to have breakfast here. Wonderful, authentic, home made food and excellent coffee. My double espresso was perfect and my wifes espresso macchiato was topped with a nice, dense foam. Their baked chile rellano egg and cheese casserole was comfort food defined. The almond croissant was sweet and buttery, perfect pair for the espresso. Even better here was the sense of community. People were meeting each other, holding court on local issues, being friendly and supportive. The owner seemed like the heart of a warm community. Honestly this place felt like the best of America. Recommended.
Best place in marina by far. Love the atmosphere, love the food, love the coffee, and love the owner!
Have breakfast.. Coffee.Pastries.. Lunch & more.1st time but this place seems perfect to me.Excellent service.
Great spot, wide selection of drip coffee
Best breakfast around Monterey
Fast, great service and delicious food at fair prices with a cozy atmosphere. Large but not overwhelming menu. Everything was perfect!
Driving up the coast of California and found myself in marina. Stumbled into this place. It has the absolutely the coolest owner. Best menu. If youre reading this and dont end up going here youre making a mistake. My route back to socal will come by here just for this place.
I like to hang out and dine in at my coffee shop, so I was looking forward to checking out Cafe Mia. Unfortunately, it closes at 2pm and I missed them.
Excellent customer service, great prices, yummy coffee! Skip Starbucks and visit this gem!
The food and coffee are amazing! Horus, the owner, has a way with his smile and words. He spreads love and has such a lovely demeanor. He gave me a immune boosting shooter because I am a first responder and said he does this daily for all the frontl workers. What an angel on earth! 🙌
,Best coffer in town, and wow I had French toast with strawberries, blue berries sm amount whipped cream on side and powdered sugar. It was to die for.Hoarse the owner greets you with a smile and asks how ya doing with your name.Take the time to give him a shout out, relax and enjoy your break from the covid.
Food ! Coffee! And service is the Best They help the homeless the owner gives food free to people ineed if your in Marina please go in also italian food
Always great service and incredible coffee!!
Wonderful, friendly, great scones and coffee, lots of yummy choices!
Basic coffee shop. Quick.
The lattes were not very good. The staff let much more than 6-8 people hang out inside, including a few who didnt wear masks. Larger crowds congregated outside without masks near to the entrance door. I would have skipped the place if the crowds had been there before we ordered.
Had a vanilla latte and avocado toast- both very tasty!The experience was made so great by the people, seems like a great community spot! Worth visiting any time youre in Marina
Great and friendly service, awesome coffee and of course: Mias Gold!!!
Amazing coffee and food. Excellent service. This place is a true blessing
Amazing experience! Food is fantastic and the customer service 100%
Wear your mask we are still in a pandemic
Delicious coffee, yummy breakfast and pastries. What makes this spot 5 stars is the staff and how friendly they are. You’ll be made to feel like a regular on your first visit!
The staff was not wearing a mask (even when they had a sign that everyone entering the building has to wear a mask) during COVID pandemic and touching food and coffee lid with bare hands. He had an attitude and didn’t even say goodbye when I did. Not going back.
Great customer service and a verity of fresh foods.
Really loved this place. The portion sizes are large, the food is homemade yummy, and the service is exceptional. They loved our dogs and everyone was very nice. Highly recommend stopping by. The pastries were also very good. We will be coming back for sure.
This place has the best coffee in town. Great service!
Love this place horace and his staff are so nice and food is amazing!
Friendly nice owner and people great food choices. Great coffee choices too.
