Café Mia Brew Bar & Bistro - Marina, California

Hands down one of the best cafe in Monterey, if not the whole Bay Area. The special sandwiches we got, the lamb and the steak sandwich are amazing. The steak sandwich is in fact mind blowing. The steak pieces are big, medium rare perfection, and you can munch down with a clean bite. The latte is solid, and their pastries! The croissant is again perfectly crisp and buttery. The pumpkin bread is thick and heavy with loads of nuts and raisins. The cherry on top is that the owner, I believe, is so kind and attentive. He pumped everything up, but he speaks the truth. Everything is amazing here. Definitely will come back and eat here again.

Awesome menu and service. The smell of fresh meat on the grill accented by coffee really pulls you in. Patio is dog friendly too.

Absolutely amazing, was greeted with respect and kindness. The sandwich that was in special today was a leg of lamb sandwich. I must say, this is absolutely delicious. I am from Southern California, this may be the best sandwich I’ve had in awhile.

We had the opportunity to passing through the California State in JUN_FY2024 and it was an amazing experience be in the Café Mia Brew Bar & Bistro, a great opportunity to learn more about Mexican cousine.

In an sunny sunday morning following by good music.

Definitely, it's a place with good vibes that deserves my respect. It was a privilege.

Amazing food and excellent customer service. Thanks Mr. Horácio anf family, Good bless you!

Discovered this cafe while driving from Monterey to Santa Cruz. Cute little cafe. Reminded us of a cafe we worked at in college. Food was eggcellent. We got the egg volcanos. Amazing! Also enjoyed their pour over brewed coffee. Would only recommend having either a QR code menu available or simple print out menus, even us two young women with pretty great eyesight couldn’t read the menu on the wall and were told to take a photo of it on our phone and zoom in, in order to read the menu.

Small portions, for what your paying; but delicious.
I wasn’t offered a receipt and I was to shy to ask when I realized I wasn’t provided one. We only ordered 5 items (2 sandwiches, 1 small coffee, 1 juice, and and 1 pastry) and it came out to almost $50, wish I knew how much i was charged.
The natural press juice is $12.50 but there is no signage regarding the price until you’re rung at the register.
The pesto Mayo was bomb!
We probably won’t return but it wasn’t horrible.

Use to come here regularly but became too busy. We came in on my birthday today and I was in disbelief of Horace’s demeanor and behavior. The staff was great and was very friendly while ordering but when Horace delivered our plates first my moms oatmeal he damn near slammed the glass plate down in front of her startling her because he came from behind her then as we were chatting and eating he decides to open up the bathroom door which my moms chair was in front of due to poor positioning on Horice’s part and instead of saying excuse me or anything at all he tried to yank the door like 3 times hitting the side my moms chair and she looked at me all confused and I’m sure very uncomfortable because of his demeanor on top of that very hostile action. Now as I’m not sure as to why he was in a bad mood I do not condone that disgusting disrespectful behavior towards me or MY FAMILY especially on my birthday and pregnant. For how much money we spent for my birthday breakfast this was so disappointing and disgusting. Foods great, coffees great, we love this place but we will never be coming back with how badly the owner treated us! He’s so far up his ass that he thinks he can treat people that way?!?! Absolutely NOT. I’m pregnant as I stated before and that had me shaking in anger ready to leave. Like I said before I don’t know if he was just going through it today or something but hell no are you allowed to treat people that way when your upset or whatever, it was extremely childish and rude of him to be acting that way in his own place of business. He’s lucky my dad found Jesus because my dad showed up and saw the whole thing and even he was in disbelief because Horace is actually cool with him. Happy birthday day to me right?
