Misto Caffe & Bakery

"Their bread is tasty, it comes with a few types. The brown bread had sunflower seeds. The dipping sauce for the bread was great and nicely garlic-forward. The Ahi Tuna Tartare was good. It was very light, I didn't eat the wonton. There were little bits of sweet pickled peppers in the tartare, which was more ceviche style. The Baja Salad was so good. The dressing was nice and smokey, not your average restaurant chipotle. I added some ground pepper for taste.Misto's Mix Grill had unseasoned mashed potatoes. It was necessary to do something to the potatoes to make them edible. Choices were salt, pepper, and the garlic oil for the bread. They do offer sauces when serving entrees. We did not ask for any."

"This is a nice local spot....kind of under the radar unless you happen to live in the area. Tucked away in the back of the plaza just off Hawthorne Blvd., is a quaint little spot where you can get really good baked goods or a tasty meal. There's covered outdoor dining as well as indoor seating options. Food was good and so was the service. Really good portion sizes for the cost. Like many local food spots....I think they're still recovering from the COVID era and they could use a little updating and some repairs to the outdoor space. But that only comes as folks continue to get back out and supporting their local establishments. Definitely worth a try!"

"I went with a friend for lunch. I got the chopped salad and she got the crab cakes. Both were delicious. The server was very attentive. We had a lot to catch up on so we took our time eating. No pressure from the server to hurry up. While the place wasn’t full there were still a good number of people there but we had no problem hearing ourselves talk. Highly recommend Misto’s for lunch."

"Excellent food at a reasonable price and very friendly staff."

"One of my favorites. It's usually less noisy than most sit-down restaurants. The food is always good. The service is always good. Some favorites in our family are fish and chips, cheeseburger, BLT pizza, and bread pudding."
