During my visit to the casual Italian café, I chose to order a large meatball sub sandwich, which cost me about $11 with tax included. The sandwich menu was vast, featuring chipotle chicken, vegetarian and several other classic options to choose from. Customers also have the option to build a custom sandwich from a list of ingredients.

The price was reasonable — considering prices everywhere have gone up — and the serving was quite exceptional. The food was made and done within five minutes of ordering, and the staff was friendly. 

The sandwich was savory and had a very slight kick to it, which was enjoyable. The sandwich was not exactly easy to eat neatly, so make sure to have plenty of napkins handy if you choose to order it. The scenery in the restaurant was varied, featuring an industrial-style lobby and a colorful upstairs seating area with plastic vines and fairy lights, making the space feel like a balcony of a nice apartment with good lighting. 

Overall, Mia Za’s Cafe has a pleasant ambience and offers a wide variety of menu items. This cafe is worth the trip — as long as customers are willing to pay a little more for their bite.
