This place is awesome! What a great little neighborhood breakfast/lunch/coffee shop! The service is excellent, staff is very friendly! The food is soooooo good! If you find yourself wandering around University Heights, stop in and check it out! Also they are dog friendly!

I ordered a chai latte here, and it was solid with a good balance of spices and tea flavor. The bartender was excellent and and skilled. They did the best foam of the oat milk I've ever had!! A nice perk was that milk substitutes are free, which I always appreciate. For the location, it's located in a corner with limited parking, but the roads around it are relatively quiet which is nice if you want to enjoy the seating outside.

A total gem in University Heights. Great customer service, warm smiles and an atmosphere that’s friendly and inviting. Not the closest coffee shop to our apartment but we make time to visit MM because we love them.

I have been here a few times and seen the same cook who also happens to be the owner and I’m pretty sure the same barista. Every time I go in, I feel welcomed. Very welcomed and the chef REALLY knows how to craft the PERFECT Bacon, Egg & Cheese! First time I came, I had ordered the Chilaquiles but wasn’t too impressed by the flavor of it. My wife ordered the BEC first and the first bite into the sandwich and I WAS HOOKED! 2 visits after, and the flavor IS STILL CONSISTENT! The atmosphere is so inviting, and the employees as well as the owner ( His picture is located at the end, book and wall ) have been so sweet with every interaction. The coffee was just as sweet! I had the Jack Torrance Iced with the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese, and I think it’s the perfect combo. Seating is provided inside and outside. Inside Mystic Mocha, they have outlets connected in certain areas, so you may be able to do some work. Outside, they have table conversations that are fun while you wait for the food or while you are eating. Parking is a little strange. I do have a posted picture, and the opposite side is the TUESDAY. I did park on one of the days there, and all the customers were kind enough to point me in the correct direction and not get a ticket, so I AM FOREVER grateful. This cafe is an easy recommend and I can’t stress that enough. Good coffee, great food, and even greater staff and ownership.

Awesome! Fabulous! Neighborhood maker! I’m not sure I have the eloquence to fully describe my love and luck for living near this gem! To start- great coffee, great vibe, great people. Then add dog friendly, vegan friendly, vegetarian friendly and local business friendly. And we don’t stop there… now mix in good music, fun decor and lots of awesome sun filled picnic tables. Oh and if you are around later there is also beer and wine available. But what I like best is the thought behind everything they do- from fundraisers for childhood cancer and Christmas presents for an orphanage to organic options and supporting local options for their drinks and pastries. Eat and drink here to feel good and enjoy good tasty bites;) feed your soul and your belly!

Better than I thought it would be! There is no shortage of coffee shops in SD. This one is a good. Heads up it’s wall to wall dogs. Not saying that’s a bad thing but not everyone loves dogs. The breakfast sando has an “I can make this myself feel” but that’s what I want. It feels lived in. Cozy. I’d take my friends that visit SD here after a night out for a hangover recovery. Service was great. It was busy but was treated with patience.

Came in for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Was able to find an outdoor table. It’s a small cute cafe, and even with the good reviews on google, I didn’t have high expectations for some reason. I was pleasantly surprised. The dishes didn’t look that special but both the scramble and sandwich were very tasty. The sandwich buns were nice and warm. Latte was good but not amazing. They had a solid selection of hot sauces which added to the fun. Would definitely eat here again.

My son is in a very short 2hr preschool in normal heights so I usually take my other kids to trolley barn park while we wait. Came here today and it was so relaxing but energetic. I came with my 3year old son and 10month old in a stroller. Indoor and outdoor seating. Barista customized my drink to add coconut because duh! My son and I also loved the zucchini muffin. Will be back!
