Cafe Mia

Really enjoyed the spicy Damario sandwiche, a little messy, but definitely worth it even if you need a second napkin.

Great breakfast sandwich and coffee, good prices too

Great service and great food

Sum: Tasty and good value for money but small portions and cramped space. The good: Ordered quarter dark chicken darkwith 2 sides (spinach and sweet plantains). Everything was quite delicious and cost less than $10 (that's a great deal for the area). The plantains in particular were simply succulent. Service was friendly. The menu was large. The bad: You can't see the rotisserie chicken itself when you order, which is strange for this kind place, where the rotisserie is main attraction. The portion of the chicken was anything but generous and we had to wait more than 5 min to get the food. Also, there wasn't a lot of seating space (in part because one of the (very few) tables wasn't cleared from previous customers). The self-service table cleaning thing they had going on was badly organized (nowhere to put the trays, for example; the trays were also strangely curved, so not the most comfortable to eat from). Everything considered, I'd recommend this place and would return in the future to try out their many sandwich options).

With some fanfare in Popville, I was excited to give it a go since the pictures of the chicken and sandwiches all looked quite good. But knowing the history of that location, I definitely walked up the steps to Cafe Mia with tempered expectations. I stepped in for a quick lunch and noticed that the space was pretty much kept the same, with a few tables and some bar seating towards the entrance. Most of the side dishes are already prepped and sitting in warmers, which I figure it pretty typical and not necessarily a knock. I decided to go with the quarter dark to test out the quality of the rotisserie along with a esquites and mac n' cheese as sides. The former of which was delicious while the latter was eh. But for the star, the chicken was actually quite good. And that's coming from the guy who really doesn't like ordering chicken out since it so often ends up dry and tasteless. But not so here at Cafe Mia. While I didn't get to try any of their sandwiches, which do sound great off the menu and look great on instagram, I think the chicken plate earned them another visit for this hungry eater.

Hit this new place for one of their beef barbacoa breakfast bowls. Very tasty, and a huge portion - really enough for two meals. Great value. Will definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu.
