Mi Vida Reviews
There aren't a ton of great places to eat on this island, and while the better-known brunch place a block away had a line out the door, in my eyes this gas station restaurant was the place to be. Offering a mix of smoothie bowls and Latin American breakfast, this place had multiple options for vegan and other dietary needs. Their pastry spread looked impressive as well; they said it is from Auspicious rather than being in house, but if you were going to get pastries from anyone that would be the place. Me being me, I already had a haul of Auspicious Bakery goods in my trunk, so I stuck with a bowl and a beverage. My chai was a complex flavor, and offered with oat milk by default. I couldn't quite place the spice mix, but there was definitely something distinctive in it. The juice bowl I received was small, but had quality ingredients and I savored it. The price for the portion was high, but to have gotten some quality selection within walking distance of the beach, I was quite satisfied.
All the YES for this joint!!! After eating more fried food than I care to ever eat, found this gem on Yelp. Ended up coming back a second day for breakfast. What a welcome and wonderfully fresh treat. Super sweet wait staff. Fast service. Great patio. Indoor play corner for the kids. Healthy, colorful plates begging to be eaten. So tasty. Hidden at the corner of a gas station, could easily be discounted as not stop worthy worthy.worthy That would be a huge mistake. Nothing but love for this place!! Even better, my pickiest eater, cleaned his plate!
The service here is absolutely top notch- our waitress was so great with the kids, very cheerful and just lovely at brunch a few weekends ago. It was busy but she made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. Lovely deck to sit on with lots of shade. We biked over from our beach house and left the bikes by the stairs with no concerns at all. Lattes were delicious. Food was fresh, flavorful and was a healthy start to our boozy beach day!
Mi Vida is a wonderful way to start your Day! ( after viewing the fabulous sunrise on Pier 14 on this beautiful Tybee Island) . The cold pressed juice that Maria and her great team make fresh - to special order -. Then I called from the beach... and ordered a Greek salad . I walked a short walk, got my fresh tasty salad and went right back to my oasis on the ocean. Thanks I'll be back!
What a great find!! This is a must when in Tybee! It is lovely. Staff are delightful. Food was fresh, modern and so tasty. Loved the decor and family friendly service. Would have gone here every morning had we not waited until our last morning on the island.
