Private Events
Host your event at Café Mia.
Birthday brunches, team off-sites, workshops, evening receptions. A photogenic Bushwick room you can have entirely.
Café Mia is available for private events. The room — emerald-velvet seating, cherry-blossom installation, pink-lit shelves — is one of the most photographed cafe interiors in Bushwick, and it's surprisingly versatile for events from 8 to 50 people.
