About Meet Mica

Skip the standard morning run—Meet Mica brings inventive Japanese-Western brunch craft to a sunlit pocket of Elizabeth Street. In this minimalist room, breakfast ventures well past basic eggs on toast. Brunch regulars look for the flaky croissant stuffed with sweet crab meat, scrambled egg, and flying fish roe, or warm lobster congee showered with katsuobushi. Dessert leans savory-sweet, led by thick-cut matcha lava toast hiding a chewy center of mochi alongside house matcha ice cream. On bar, fruity Ethiopian pour-overs pour alongside earthy matcha lattes and a signature Sunrise lemonade layered with thick mango foam.

  • Japanese-Western Plates: Savory lobster congee topped with flying fish roe and buttery croissants stuffed with crab meat and scrambled eggs.
  • Creative Sips: Earthy matcha lattes, Ethiopian pour-overs, and custom coolers like the Sunrise lemonade with mango foam.
  • Matcha Lava Toast: Warm toast packed with molten matcha and mochi, served alongside matcha ice cream.
  • Minimalist Room: A clean, airy Elizabeth Street dining room that fills quickly during peak morning hours.
