A local recommended this to us during our day on the island. She liked it for their vegetarian options, but as far as I could tell everything is good and reasonably priced.

Pretty alright; nothing particularly exceptional springs to mind. Another trip could easily push this to four stars.

It's closing soon, but before it does I want to take a moment to speak fondly of it. Okay here goes: a reliable choice for dinner when no particular inspiration struck us; a business needs a certain comfort with itself to be a go-to choice, and Mikaku managed that well.

Don't come here, I like it here. I don't want you cluttering it up.

...Maybe get something to go, they deserve your patronage.

My server was shockingly nice and conversant. Thanks Wendy. You should probably go work somewhere better: you'd make a fine barista or a hostess.

...That's all I have to say. Either you have been to Taco Bell/KFC and you know what to expect, or you haven't been to Taco Bell/KFC and you probably shouldn't.

Velo Rouge Café

This place grew on me.

I had been in a sublet nearby for a couple months, cursed to a life without internet at home. I had no choice but to come to Velo Rouge, as it offered the most accessible internet nearby. In that context of desperation, the fact that it closed early Saturday-Tuesday did not endear me to it.

But, phew, let's just enjoy it as a neighborhood cafe: I don't need regular internet to survive. Let's just go and read a book. Let's just relax. Let's get an Americano for the bus, because I do need regular coffee to survive. The quality of your coffee is hugely dependent on your barista, but try not to worry too much about it.

Didn't write a review after first visit a year ago and felt funny reviewing it months after the fact. A good excuse to go again last weekend, as if one needs an excuse for something so delicious.

It may be in your interests to expect a wait, at least for a weekend dinner seat. It took a half hour to get a table and then at least that again to get our food, but it is well worth it.

18" burrito = yes. If you haven't eaten a tube of food comparable in size to an obese person's arm then you haven't truly felt the full range of human emotions.

Be warned that the emotions you will be feeling may include "regret" or "agony."

Enjoy it with friends, enjoy it with family, enjoy it by yourself, fatty. Just order it and marvel.

Pretty good drink, location-appropriate price, nice baristas at the time. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again, but if we're walking by in the future--very likely--I could imagine dropping in. 'Adequate Bear' or 'Sufficient Bear' may be more apt.
