Had coffee here on a trip to the beach and the service was very fast and efficient. The coffee was very smooth and perfectly made as well. Would be my go to place from now on here. The only downside was that I had to wait outside since I ordered takeaway and it was super cold that day. So would probably order in advance and head out to just pick it up.
Excellent service, great food. I had mixed grill, loved the bread and chutney. Daughter had the buttermilk pancakes, she said they are the best she has had. Got take home desserts as meal was filling. Dessert were beautiful. Lime cheesecake was delicious.
Amazing service, friendly staff, wholesome hearty food obviously cooked with care and passion. Great on the wallet and stomach
The service we received at Mission Bay Cafe was absolutely fantastic. The staff are friendly and professional, and I thought it worth mentioning in a review.
Thank you all.
This cafe has been around for decades.
Good ambience however the furniture and settings are pretty distressed.
Ordered the MBC Grill for brunch. Food came with a decent portion. The Their chicken waffle was divine, the fried chicken was crispy and tender, excellently flavored, the savory flavors matched well with the maple syrup.
The ice mocha was nice, the beetroot latte was nice but could have used lesser grains. The cappuccino was nice.
Excellent presentation on both the food and drinks.
Definitely revisit and highly recommended to everyone.

Food: This is my go to place for weekend brunching! Their eggs bene with bacon is one of my favorites in the city. It's simple, but done so well. Their MBC Potato Hash Cake is also veryyy good. I've tried their cabinet cakes as well as most of their Brunch menu - and never had a bad meal here. I also recently tried their open steak sandwich - the steak was cooked to perfection and I would totally have it again in a heartbeat.
Service: We were greeted immediately and seated outside in a sunny spot with a perfect view. They were incredibly friendly, took our orders quickly and our food arrived in appropriate timings. It does get pretty busy here at the weekends, so it was a little hard to capture someones attention when we were after more drinks. But as soon as we did, they were super helpful! So overall the service was good.
Ambiance: It's in prime location along the mission bay waterfront. It's roadside so the cars can be a little noisy. But it has beautiful views, and has a great busy/bustling vibes without it being over crowded.
I love this place and will keep coming back most weekends... can't get enough of their eggs bene!
I have been to this cafe a couple of times. It opens early in the morning and closes late at night. Most time I would go there for dinner. And I always order the steak. The steak is tasty with reasonable price. What I wanna recommend is their dessert which tasted very yummy.
Been going here for over 3 years now. Great staff... great service. Always feel welcome.
Kid friendly too and nice range of meals on the menu. Great coffee.
One of my favorite and regular places over the years. Dinner dishes has always been great, haven't been disappointed yet after more than 10 years. Kudos to the chef. Coffee is excellent from my regular barista. I can see why it won the Supreme award!
Great food and service. Combo, entrée and main or main and dessert for $49. They are accommodating too. I usually ask to swap my mash for roast potatoes, and they are always willing to say yes to my request. Highly recommend.
Very nice food and really nice staff, however, when you're inside, there's very little space to move around so if you can sit outside 😀
Very close to the beach and there's parking lot just nearby. The coffee is really good, strong and creamy.
Update: 25/12/2022-I could clearly see a distinctive improvement from my last review. However, there should definitely be more vegan and vegetarian options available. I was actually surprised they don't have something as basic as kumra fries. Also, surcharge on paywave and credit card transactions is something I've never been a fan of.
There can be more done in terms of improving the overall experience. Overall presentation, wait time, customer service etc. can improve. Prices are okayish for the location.
Decent lil cafe for breakfast or lunch. Food is good, service can be slow and staff friendliness varies. Limited indoor and outdoor seating. Ok for a quick stop.
I usually come here with my hubby for afternoon tea but this time with my family - husband, my son's family, his wife and two children for breakfast, we called in for reservation for 7 pax and.our meals..wallah, when we arrived we were so pleased. Everything is prepared, food so delicious at a reasonable price and portion. So love the place, highly recommended. Staff most of all friendly and helpful. See you soon.
Nice cafe by the beach for a lazy Saturday morning brunch. The staff were friendly and the breakfast menu was good. Delicious food and great coffee. Try their Mocha, best one had so far! Not much food option in vegetarian or chicken... most of the breakfast menu had bacon in it. You can customize the order to exclude bacon.
Great location with good service. All day menu. Very busy place put still relaxed. Options of inside/outside, sofa/chair/stool seating. Menu is limited but excellent quality. I didn't try the coffee so I couldn't advise you.
On a wet and 🥶 cold day i googled searched a good rating and review cafe for a morning breakfast meal
Mission bay Cafe was reccomended
Parking was good out on the main street .
I decided to sit out side as there were table seating available.
Heaters were in the ceilings and also stand up heaters which created a nice warm feeling and having the outdoor atmosphere 😀.
I was greeted with a welcome from the staff 😀 and ordered a decaf mocha and poached eggs (free range) on toast
Also MBC grill (check out photo's)
Nicely presented and delicious 😋
Enjoyed the breakfast staff polite and patient as I was searching the menu on what to order.
Coming back again
Loved the view, delicious food and top it off with an amazingly kind & wonderful staff. The view of mission bay beach and Rangitoto Island is just breath taking. We loved the chocolate mud dessert with vanilla ice cream. The combination of great view, delicious food and wonderful staff, the cafe does deserve 7 stars.
We will come again and friends with us.
