What People Are Saying

from Google & Yelp

"Cute quiet corner cafe about 7 minutes from the airport. Indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered the super biscuits and gravy, and the eggs italiana using egg whites. We did not order a waffle however they looked and smelled amazing. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient. Sinad was amazing! We will definitely be back!"

★★★★★

"Food was very good - from the infamous pb & banana stuffed French toast to the basic American breakfast! Service was excellent from a long-time staff server to a friendly chat with the hard-working owner. Atmosphere was authentic and comfortable. Highly recommend."

"I stepped away from a conference to decompress and grab a much needed Solo Brunch last Saturday, and tried this adorable place based on reviews. Definitely a highlight of my visit! There was no wait for a table, surprisingly, and the staff was bright and friendly throughout my visit. It’s off the beaten path, so I opted for outside seating to enjoy the lovely San Diego sunshine. I ordered an egg (scrambled hard with cheddar), potatoes and a plain waffle, and was delighted by all of it. Best waffle I’ve ever had in my life - and I’ve researched this thoroughly, trust me - it looked so perfect, almost like a toy waffle in a kid’s kitchen set. Just enough crispy outside, but light enough to absorb syrup. Chef’s kiss! I barely used any butter, it really was delicious bare. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and the portion sizes were generous. I think the combination of 70 degree weather and a delicious meal sent me over the edge because it was some time before I realized I was out in public doing a perfect imitation of that Jay Versace vine from back in the day: shoulders shimmying, smiling, humming, rotating carefully between items 😂😂😂 While I was eating, a waiter went by with a waffle topped with whipped cream and giant strawberries that also looked amazing. I am a big fan of Solo Brunching in general, but this place? A must. You are going to want to focus on your meal, my goodness. I’ll be back, for sure!"

"Old school diner experience on the city corner. Good food, good service, classic atmosphere. We had the Peanut butter and banana French toast with eggs and sausage. We also has the waffle with eggs over easy. Eggs needed salt, but the French toast and waffle were great. Two people with Tip - $72.00"

"Found our way here while walking from the US Grant to the waterfront. It was fun, kitchy not crowded, and bright but best of all we had a great brunch...."
