Absolutely amazing place for brunch!! We are literally still here eating as I write this review!! PHENOMENAL FOOD SERVICE AND EVERYTHING!! My mom who is a picky eater enjoyed her food gosh it was so delicious. You definitely need to try this place.

Gets crowded early! Wonderful breakfast and coffee menu. The staff is friendly, efficient, and does well to get everyone seated even though the seating is first come first serve after you order. This is by far the best breakfast view in San Diego!

Out of towner from Wyoming here! This is the place we decided to go wake up, eat and see the ocean! What a treat! Food was great, lines were long but everyone friendly, and the view! Oh the view of the ocean was a great way to wake up with a good cup of coffee! When someone says, 'would go again' you know it's worth the Uber! 'would go again!'

We love this little cafe with a gorgeous view! It’s can be packed some days, but it’s worth to wait! My favorite dishes are Smoked Salmon presentation and Albacore Tuna melt sandwich with cheese and French fries ???? They serve a good coffees too. You order at the counter and get a number. Find a table with a ocean view and wait for your order) We usually go for a beach walk after) Enjoy

I absolutely loved this place. The food was delicious, the staff were amazing, and the atmosphere was super chill and quiet. Unfortunately, we went on a cloudy day or we would have seen some spectacular views from both the deck and the inside. I would recommend and will definitely revisit when I am back in the area.

What an amazing spot! We ordered at the counter then went to find a table. The view is spectacular and the food was delicious. We only shared the bagel plate with a cup of coffee (maybe a little strong for my liking), but I saw the food on other peoples tables and I would definitely go back to try more of the menu.

5 star for the view and look. It is the best place to watch the beach and the pier. You can also see the La Jolla Cove from afar. You’ll need to get a number first before finding a seat. They are very strict about it so it takes a bit of luck to find a great spot. Ours was fantastic ????right by the window on the patio.

We loved dining by the beach. The staff was friendly and efficient. The food was fantastic! Remember when you go on a Saturday, there will be a line. Its super busy but worth it ????

My friend invited me out to this spot for breakfast recently. Its located close to the Scripps Aquarium in La Jolla. Its got beautiful views of the La Jollla shores beach just below with an outdoor deck patio. I ordered a breakfast veggie scramble. Damn, it was actually surprisingly good. Toast, eggs, potatoes on the side. I cleaned my whole plate. My friend only got coffee as she was just getting off a night shift. I was going to get one too on the way out but a long line had just formed so we headed out. I gotta say the rich La Jolla people can eat good sometimes!

Really great view. Surprisingly not busy on a Sunday afternoon. Not my favorite seating set-up: you order at the counter and then find your own seat and they'll bring you your food. It worked out well for me this time with a great seat right by the window overlooking the water, but I would be stressed out if it was busy. I got an iced chai latte with almond milk and it was really good, very sweet and flavorful. The prime smoked salmon presentation was good except that you had to put it together yourself. Everything came separate and you had to assemble it yourself. DIY lox bagel. Good ingredients though.
