Would give this place 1 star. I wanted to support a small coffee shop and chose this place but the manager. So rude. I didn’t like my drink so I nicely asked if I could have it remade. She said no ok fine. I asked for a refund the manager said no. Umm ?? I have never been to a coffee shop where they refuse to remake a drink and refuse to give a refund. I spent almost 8$ on the drink. Ridiculous. Would not come back again. Worst coffee shop ever. !! Beware !!
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.
Good coffee. Pastries are lacking in skill but taste good with the coffee. I liked the rose latte.
The best coffee quality in Davis. This cafe is a work of art. It feels like Europe.
I have been going to Mishka's religiously for the past 4 years. The issue I have always had has been that the kids who work there sometimes make my order wrong--completely the wrong drink, or they won't make the modification I ask for. I have worked food service, so I understand and try to look past it especially as I am a staunch supporter of small local businesses.
Unfortunately however, this has been happening more and more. I exclusively go in when it's quiet; today when I went there were maybe 20 people sitting and only one person in front of me.
I ordered a matcha cold brew and did not ask for it to be unsweetened because I wouldn't expect there to be a default of sweetener in it--that doesn't make sense because additions to a drink, such as sugar, should be the modification. Unfortunately I drank half of the drink before I tasted the sweetener--I guess it had been added to the matcha, so it was more apparent at the bottom.
I have fibromyalgia and I specifically am not supposed to ingest sugar or pretty much any sweetener (or dairy) at all as it inflames my organs and causes me nausea and pain. I was already at home by the time I realized there was sugar in my drink. i can't go back and ask for a refund because I need to stay home in case I end up throwing up/in too much pain. I'm now out more than seven bucks (I tipped generously) and I can't even drink half the drink I paid for. I'm done going to Mishka's because I just can't trust that they will make my drink correctly. I don't want to risk that they might use a dairy creamer or do something like this again. Normally the issue is minor (eg, they very often make a hot drink iced), but this is just too much at this point. Sugar should not be a default on a drink that, by name, should not be sweet (matcha and coffee are bitter by nature). At the very least, the person taking the order should ask if this is a common modification. The baristas should not be so inattentive. They really need to be trained better. I'm sad because I like supporting small independent businesses but I can't play fast and loose with my health like this.

This is honestly my least favorite cafe in the world. Imagine having a cafe in a college town with rules against not just laptops, but any form of studying. The quickly rotating cast of very young workers seems to absolutely hate it here, and if the tabletop signs reflect the owners’ personality at all I definitely don’t blame them. Food and drink are overpriced and mediocre. Air conditioning is all but nonexistent in the broiling summer. But I’ve still spent countless hours and dollars here because it’s practically the only independent coffee shop in Davis with any amount of seating. So I guess they can be as surly and mediocre as they well please.

? Mishka's Café ! Talk about a perfect downtown Davis gem. The cappuccino is perfectly foamy and strong. The little chocolate covered coffee bean is just the thing to make it even more indulgent.
