Are you looking for the most delicious latte ever made with Intelligentsia coffee and the thickest, most juiciest burger ever to go along with it? Do you crave food that hits the mark and ticks all the boxes for a fabulous burger? Well then, if that sounds like what you have been dreaming of; then head on over to Myke’s Cafe in either Pacoima or Sherman Oaks.  These are two very intensely populated areas with hard working people and great locations for Myke’s.  Myke’s  has been around for quite awhile. It’s a great cafe with great food and eclectic artwork by up and coming artists.  They have a grill where the food is made to order and an espresso bar for cappuccino, espresso or lattes.  They describe their food offerings as Wild Pancakes, Crazy Burgers and Tantalizing Mexican Food.  That was enough to make we want to have a meal there immediately. It was a call to my inner gourmand that loves all new types of food strange and wonderful. 

The store front is unassuming except for the black and white hand painted sign in a cartoonish font. It’s located in a mid-century modern type mini strip mall  right next to a residential area. The location is modest and not at all exciting. Nothing really to do around there but eat and live. Which actually makes it perfect.  It’s very easy to focus on your food.    There’s a big A in the window which is something I always look for as well and I find quite comforting.  For those of you who are curious and would like more information, please email me or DM me on Instagram at Victoriagoodsandtradingcompany.com, my partner and affiliate. 

The vibe is relaxed and it’s a great place for meeting friends and working on projects. The counter help is friendly and make you feel at home with their genuine smiles and questions to make sure they get your order just right.  The menu has creative dishes that I’ve not seen at other cafes such as banana pineapple pancakes with chocolate sauce, which was decadent and delicious and there is plenty for meat lovers too. The burgers are made of a high grade beef thats grilled to perfection and comes out hot and oozing goodness. 

I especially love the vegan burgers, since I’m currently a flexitarian(got that from a good friend),  that are thick, juicy and so full of flavor that with one bite your mouth is infused with delicious sauce and natural elements that fill you up and make you feel good. When the food comes out, the presentation is appealing and the food is dressed to kill with the appropriate garnishes and sides you order.

My friend and I were able to easily hear each other and it was fun to take in the eclectic art that decorates the walls. My favorite was the huge black and white graffiti depicting all sorts of things, that made a statement and was eye catching.  There were other works in different metiers as well to peruse and discuss.
