Born and raised in California, Mike T. knows a thing or two about the melting pot of West Coast cuisine. After spending time in Las Vegas as a flair bartender and restaurateur, Mike returned to California in 2010 with a vision: to turn a small coffee shop into a community hub where flavor, culture, and creativity collide.
Under his leadership, Cha Café evolved from a cozy café into a vibrant space serving California-inspired comfort food. In 2015, the café shifted to a fresh-casual dining model, making it quicker and more convenient for busy guests without sacrificing quality or experience.
Mike’s commitment to innovation, hospitality, and the local community continues to define Cha Café—a place where every dish tells a story, and every visit feels like home.
