What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"I can't give enough praise for this incredible cafe/restaurant (although I'll try). Tl;dr though: whether you work in the nearby building or are just driving by, you absolutely have to stop by Daffodil Cafe for their amazing food, warm service, and cheerful ambience. Food: I've tried essentially every item on the menu, and honestly nothing disappoints. Everything is carefully thought through, made fresh from high quality ingredients, with a distinctive flair. Highly recommend items from me are the Frittata (mushroom+sundried tomatoes, with a flavorful house-made chimichurri sauce), the Belgian Waffles (crunchy outside, soft inside with a gentle buttlemilk flavor), and the Bacon/Egg/Cheese Burrito (can't go wrong but still excellent). Service: Although the food is incredible, the service is really where Daffodil shines. Run by a small, lean team, the ladies from the owner to the server are all lovely, chipper, and welcoming. From first time visitors to regulars (of which they have many), they greet you with a warm welcome and do whatever they can to make sure you have a great meal from start to finish. Atmosphere: Bright, open interior with a cute mini-bazaar full of interesting, hand-picked snacks. Plentiful seating that can accommodate individuals to large groups. Easy to access with parking validation. Food spots within walking distance is sparse in this area, so having a high quality eatery like Daffodil here is a godsend. Even if you don't work in the nearby buildings or are just visiting the area, I highly recommend you give Daffodil Cafe a try."
"We came across this hidden little gem while browsing La Jolla. It is in La Jolla commons so plenty of spaces for parking & they also validate parking. If you are looking for clean, fresh light food with so much flavour this is the spot. Very refreshing to find somewhere that deserves a review with 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️. Niddia is the manager and so attentive & friendly so much so when my husband was ordering his cookie she warmed it up. We came here for breakfast and delighted to have found such a lovely spot. Coffee was delicious. Thank you for a lovely experience Niddia. Your Irish supporters Robert & Lorraine 🇮🇪"
"The owner and staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. The food is so good. Every dish is a 10. Best waffles in San Diego. I hope they open on weekends soon!"
"Pretty spacious interior with cute decor. The food was not bad and pretty filling with decent portions. Both the avocado toast and lox toast had so much stuff on it and was really filling. The cafe can validate parking for an hour, but after that the parking is paid."
"I had such a great time here! The staff were so friendly. Nidia was exceptional with everyone that walked in the door. She knew their names, gave great recommendations and really made it feel like home with her hospitable service at daffodil! The food was amazing with great portions. The ambiance was calm yet positive and lively. I highly recommend coming here for breakfast/brunch, you will not be disappointed ☺️😋"
"My friend and I stumbled upon this cafe tucked away inside a local business park, and wow, what a score. This is seriously a hidden gem that deserves all..."
