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.

The blueberry cake was too heavy and sweet, not too moisture either.

Coffee and pastries are top notch. I’d recommend against trying to work or study here, the internet is extremely slow and spotty. Great spot for reading or meeting up with people, not great for everything else.

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.

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.

I like this cafe 💙, I just wish the interior design was a bit different. The seats are too close to each other and it makes me uncomfortable when the cafe gets crowded.
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.

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!

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.
Excellent all around 😁
