In 1995 Mishka's was started with a mission to give the city of Davis a cafe in the Old World tradition: a cozy place to meet a friend, converse, read, and relax. We also decided to accomplish this in a guilt-free manner: we roast and serve only Organic Fair Trade Coffee to help provide honest pay to those who grow it and to help save the planet.
In February of 2011, Mishkas Cafe moved to its own building that was built by Harrison Construction of Davis. The construction took seven months next to the Davis Varsity Theatre.
