Mikayla's Cafe is a standalone place close to Lafayette and Aldo. The parking lot is small, though, there is street parking if needed. This their second location. They offer both outdoor and indoor seating. The floor service was ok. One server seemed to be working the entire restaurant, though when the food came out for other customers, that's the time you saw that there were actually other workers! So not sure if they were helping the kitchen or just in the back waiting on the food. Our food came out nice and hot. My friend and I ordered the... Granny's Hash: Corned beef hash, plus two eggs any style, breakfast potatoes and toast. Includes two farm-fresh eggs any style, breakfast potatoes or hash browns and choice of toast (3.5/5). Ah...canned corned beef hash. I should have asked if canned or freshly-made. The hash browns were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I asked for the eggs to be soft poached, though they were more medium-hard. But nonetheless, a good standard breakfast for me. I think my friend also enjoyed his Granny's Hash. My wife ordered the... Bourbon Bacon Jam Chicken: Grilled chicken breast, house made sweet and spicy bacon jam with melted Cheddar. (Bacon jam made with hickory smoked bacon, real maple syrup, chipotle onions, Kentucky bourbon and French roast coffee). All house chicken sandwiches are served on a sweet Hawaiian roll bun and served with fries (3.5/5). She enjoyed her dish, the chicken was juicy, though a bit disappointed in the bacon jam. Another friend ordered the specialty, Spicy Crab Cake Benedict: meaty, crispy crab cakes, topped with our spicy hollandaise sauce. Made with two poached farm-fresh eggs atop a toasted English muffin. Served with home fried potatoes or hash browns (3.5/5). I asked my friend if he liked his dish and he said, "It's was ok." Overall, and good place to have brunch.

I'm in Silicon Valley today. I saw this more than a few times going to the Great Mall. I'm also familiar with this neighborhood in North SJ. I can be found right around the corner block on some nights. I've been meaning to do this a long time. I'm at Mikayla's in Santa Clara for Sunday. It's nice, warm, and slightly charming up in here. I wanted something new and different today, this is a Red Velvet Specialty Griddle Pancakes. I don't see this everywhere, this is one of a kind around here. Something special happens when I lather some of that Butter on these Cakes, like wow, out of this world, unbelievable, it's unreal. This was executed almost perfectly. I give this 4.4 stars. This was devine.

No wait time; seating was spacious; noise was average and the ambiance was chill. Service was quick and attentive. Came for brunchskiis with the girls. Defs coming back for another round. I got the chicken and gravy with hashbrowns; chicken was well battered and the hashbrowns were nice and crispy.

Mikayla's cafe more than impressed me. A little off the grid breakfast spot. They have a wide variety on the menu including, waffles, pancakes, etc. The staff was very very and accommodating. Small and simple, delicious and worth a visit.

Ventured into this breakfast cafe on a sunny Saturday. Clean and open area with outside seating. It took quite a while to wait on me after sitting. I was surprised they didn't have any skim or nonfat milk for espressos, so I ended up just getting their coffee, which was average. I ordered the veggie Benedict with hash browns. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The hash browns were crispy. But the muffin was cold, and should have been toasted or warmed. Pretty good Benedict altogether.

We were just passing through during a road trip and decided to try this spot. Must be a locals favorite because shortly after we arrived the place filled up. Good food. Quick service. Two thumbs up. I reccomend.

Situated right on a nice corner pocket next to a bunch of industrial parks, it'd be easy to write off Mikayla's as just another cafe, but I'd suggest at least giving them an honest whirl. While the service could stand to be improved, the food is pretty darn good and it was a pretty time-efficient experience. Moderately sized private parking lot, but they didn't seem too busy on a Saturday morning so shouldn't be too hard to find a spot. Service was less attentive, but they'll at least get food to you in good time. We didn't get checked in on at all and minimal interaction despite table service. Wasn't too busy of a time, they just seemed more interested in socializing than service. Couldn't grab their attention to get plates for sharing so stopped trying, but we did get a water refill eventually. We did get in and out in good time, so I've certainly had far worse. Breakfast wrap Cajun sausage - 5/5 Solid mildly hot sausage wrap with a simple mild tomato salsa. Very good iteration of the breakfast wrap. It's compact and cleanly wrapped with a good distribution of smooth cheesiness and potato with nice little bits of crisp from the pan frying, interspersed with salty sausage with a lovely snap on the skin. Comes together really well and as a mid-sized portion. Chicken & Gravy biscuit benedict - 5/5 Blew my expectations out of the water as it turns out to be a rather unique take on the benedict. It's a gravy ride the whole way down with a very crispy bready chicken patty, which while it wasn't juicy the texture matched the biscuit quite well with a drier but flavorful fry profile. Throw a soft egg on top and a well pan-fried biscuit and you have a pretty darn unique benedict with the flowing mushroom gravy. Croissant French toast + South Bay Style 4/5 Surpsingly well balanced between the nutella and banana with a bit of crunchy bits from the coconut shavings, while being pretty smooth. The french toast part was the slightly weaker part since it was a bit dry and could do with a bit more fluffiness; didn't quite get the whole croissant thing out of it, but the south-bay style was certainly quite elaborate on top and evened it out methinks. This got brought out first though so if you're treating it like "dessert" then I'd be clear in specifying to avoid having it just sit.
