50 Best Cafes near Coronado

“Really cool and unique coffee! I went in and just asked the barista to give me two coffees he recommended and it did not disappoint! We got the black nitro cold brew and the honey lavender and both were delicious! Also got a donut and it was also great. The barista was so friendly! I would totally make this my go to coffee spot when we visit Coronado.“

“We had awesome service by Dern! He was polite, friendly and outgoing. (Killer now tie too!) He made our experience so fun! I even witnessed his care for his customers as I watched him ensure an elderly man did not fall walking to the bathroom. Also, he seemed to interact positively with his teammates too. Thanks Dern! The facility and restrooms were clean. It was like stepping back in time. There are a lot of nostalgic things to take in. My husband and I split a classic hamburger, crinkle fries and a strawberry malt. All of it was delicious. My husband said, “if we lived here, I’d be a regular.”“

“Absolutely love Calypso Café food is great. Service is beyond excellent 10 star all the way.“

“Very nice environment and outstanding food and entertainment 👌 😀“

“Tastylife™️. Would buy treats again.“

“I now see why TikTok recommended this place and why it has such high ratings. The food was SO good. We had the popular waffle churros which was very tasty and sweet. I had the Shakshuka and hubby had the Biscuit w/Gravy breakfast which were very filling and satisfying. I was hesitant about trying the Shakshuka but glad I did - delicious! We also ordered the blackberry pancake with goat cheese which was full of flavor and just perfection. We went on a Friday morning. The customer service was on point, the timing of the food was efficient and the dishes came out plated well and looking just like the photos online. I can’t wait to go back!!!“

“Great food! The only thing negative for us are the seating. It’s always crowded every time and there’s no restroom😔.“

“I’m a local customer for over 25 years. I love this place every thing is well prepare with love. The owners are always happy to see the customers! One of my favorite is the Mexican Mocha, the breakfast sandwich. To say the least everything on the menu is excellent. I’ve rather support this small family coffee shop, then Starbucks. Thank you so much for caring for you’re customers and the great food. Many Blessings!“

“I love this place. It captures a breezy beach vibe with great coffee and a delicious breakfast menu that feels both simple and thoughtfully made.

I’ll definitely stop by again the next time I’m in San Diego.“

Normally, one of the better quiet café spots in San Diego, and so the 4.9 rating.

The Xtra thick breakfast sandwich is fantastic...one of the best I've had in over a decade..had it made by the middle aged fellow on Sunday at noon for $11. No meat, no extras. Don't need it. Vegetables on it were very fresh and thick as was egg. You will need patience in preparation. If you have a smaller toddler, ask for a second egg on the side, it's perfect size.

House, Americano, and Expresso are excellent for the reasonable price.

Order at counter, take paging coaster, rings when ready, you have to pick it up yourself. But usually drinks are taken to you first. It's not full service. But food makes up for that.

Improvement? Keep the small backpatio clean and foilage manicured, add some more flowers or plants. Add one-person coffee tables outside to free up larger tables, smaller umbrellas in vacant tables. and stay true to modern and folk Portuguese music (owner) to complement the relaxing vibe, or keep other music quieter as you shouldn't have to prevent people from enjoying conversation or reading.

Cafés in San Diego are overpriced and noisy. Nice to find a gem. Keep up the good work“

“Food was good. I can't give 5 stars when orders are messed up. There were only 3 of us and they switched our orders so I had a steak that was undercooked and my friend had one that was overcooked. Really? You want to charge us over $200 each and you can't get a basic restaurant function right? If you want to charge prime/premium prices. Get the details right!“

“Todo riquisimo muy amables y atentos“

“Audrey was the best! We came from Maine and short notice we were able to get a dozen cupcakes ordered for pickup with 2 days notice. They were fantastic and gone quickly!! Thank you again!!“

“Charming atmosphere and wonderful tasting as well as beautiful dessert s.“

“My daughters & I visited this area in March & found this cute little cafe. It was so good we ate there 3 mornings in a row. Andrea greeted me by name on only our 2nd visit there. If you want a friendly, quaint little breakfast place I would highly recommend The Cliffs Cafe!“

“Loved my visit, All the women working there were so sweet and super quick they really keep things moving while still being super friendly. The vibe of the place is fun and cozy, and it’s beautifully decorated. I tried the Morning After Juice and I totally recommend it super refreshing and delicious. Can’t wait to come back“

“Cannot wait to go back and enjoy the the food, excellent service and ambience of this restaurant. We often each brunch here and their chef events are amazing! I savor every bite 🤤“

“Because they have good music and they sing good love sherry“

“Awesome little coffee shop! Kim's baked treats are to die for. She brightens everyone's day and makes you feel like family. The 1st Avenue neighborhood is lucky to have her.“

“I would’ve loved to give this place 5/5, but the heat in the store is miserable. I feel extremely bad for the girls working efficiently in the heat. Coffee is good, matcha looks good but not my thing.

I recommend the owner look into getting a real AC instead of dingy fans. I understand it’s a store-front coffee shop, but the heat was circulating in the shop from those fans. It felt unclean, sticky, and muggy inside.“

“Nice place to relax and chill away from the house“

“I really enjoy the coffee here, it’s consistently great but the overall experience could be improved. The atmosphere tends to feel warm and stuffy since there’s no AC, which makes it uncomfortable to work for long periods. The music is also quite loud, making it hard to have a conversation with friends. Because of these issues, I’ve stopped recommending the café, even though the drinks themselves are excellent.“

“Love the bakery and matcha latte!“

“The Turkish eggs and fried rice were outstanding. Some of the best I ever had. Atmosphere was great. The only negative mark was the lobster omelet. It was plain a bit overdone and not special. Particularly in comparison to the other plates.“

“Amazing cultural events. Ongoing. Something for everybody: music, dance, celebration.“

“la nieve muy deliciosa(Gelato) matcha late no esta muy concentrado como ami me gusta, el pan que venden muy rico, la chicas que atienden muy amables, pero sobre todo una vista maravillosa... P.D. precios accesibles.“

“Phenomenal service. Be warned this is cash only, but luckily I carry cash on me usually for these reasons. Cheap coffee and definitely good quality. Nice drive through makes it an easy stop before work as well. Would recommend if you're in the area“

“Great customer service great food Great coffee Highly recommended“

“We are visiting from England and wanted to check it out again. We were here six years ago. Our friends really enjoyed it. Loved sitting opposite the ocean. The food is still amazing.“

“Awesomeness had great time“

“Always a fun visit. Every location has been great.“

“1st time, won’t be the last....“

“Was only in town for 2 days, saw this spot thought I would try it out, and was not disappointed! They have great coffee, food, and bread! And the customer service was amazing as well!“

“Great drinks and food - with fantastic customer service!“

“Great ambiance. Was a great scene to see a kitten being walked on a leash. I appreciate the dog friendliness. Reminder of better times. Hopefully all is well in sunny San Diego.“

“The chillest Grill and Cafe. The food is fresh, crispy soft chibatta bread, Chai tea latte is perfect and the Berry smoothie is flavorful. Definitely will come back. The atmosphere is blend of city and home style. The staff is very helpful and attentive.“

“The food and service is magnificent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Service is always fast, it can be little busy and loud but the crepes are so delicious, I make the drive to this place since there aren't any good ones in my local area. I never have been served anything incorrectly made and the workers are attentive to what I ask for (added/taken off items).“
