Mishka's Café
610 2nd St, Davis, CA
Crema's Take
“Mishka's Café has earned its reputation as a Davis institution by nailing the fundamentals—their espresso pulls with clarity and balance, creative drinks like horchata lattes that let quality coffee shine through, and pastries (especially that lemon poppyseed muffin) that keep people coming back. The space has that rare cozy energy where you can settle in for an afternoon of work or study without feeling rushed, and the staff keeps pace even when the place fills up during peak hours. If you're after a specialty coffee experience that actually prioritizes hospitality and comfort alongside craft, this is the kind of neighborhood spot worth seeking out.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Wifi.

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.
