“Went for brunch with my wife, found parking right outside on the street. No wait when we showed up but the place was far from empty. Loved the plants everywhere and open design. Wife ordered a Greek breakfast with chicken I had the eggs and potatoes with chicken and a cold brew, I skipped the coconut foam, just not my thing. The portions were large and it was a filling meal. The chicken was done to perfection! The house hot sauce of was great and the potatoes were nice and crispy on the edges. Overall a great little spot!“

“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!“

“Officially my favorite coffee shop in PB! I love their coffee, the boho vibes, the AMAZING food and the always friendly service. I love this place so much that I take all my out of town visitors here; yes, it's that good.

Highly recommend ordering the Drift Bowl and The Vegan Burrito! My go to coffee order is the Drift latte with oat milk - delish.

Major plus is that it's literally a block from the beach. Grab a coffee, hang for a bit, then take a lovely stroll by the ocean. DAY MADE!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“amazing! I had their burger which was great! and their coconut shrimp on salad. which both were amazing! the salad dressing was so good. everything must be home made.“

“highly recommend this place! AMAZING coffee, DELICIOUS acid bowls and incredible breakfast croissants. The owner is awesome and the staff is incredibly friendly. I will definitely be returning (:“

“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.“

“I am new to IB and am just so impressed with Katy's Cafe! They are busy (so you know they're good!), but they get your order out quick. The staff is friendly, inviting and accommodating! I had my dog and daughter and they could obviously tell that I had my hands full and brought my order outside to me without me even asking. I have definitely found my go to local coffee shop!“

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

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

“Great customer service great food Great coffee Highly recommended“

“The two time I have been here, the service is beyond! The food amazing. I do not recall the waitress name, but both times she has been our waitress. She's about 5 1' 52'. Dark black hair speaks Spanish as well. She is such a nice waitress & fast. All the staff is great. Its nice to have breakfast/ lunch where kindness still exists.“

“Heard great things about this place and finally stopped by — it didn’t disappoint! There’s plenty of indoor seating, which is perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. Street parking is a bit limited, so plan ahead if you're driving.
We ordered the iced caramel and vanilla lattes — both were smooth and refreshing. Also tried the Velvet Knot and chocolate mousse pastries. Not only were they beautifully presented, but they tasted just as amazing as they looked. A lovely spot for coffee and dessert!“

“Patisserie Melanie keeps surprising me with incredible pastries. Their kouignette is absolutely sublime. I usually get my order to go, but everything I have tried has been top quality. In my opinion, it is one of the best pastry spots in San Diego. Prices are on the higher side but totally worth it.“

“I got the soy chorizo burrito with breakfast potatoes and a mimosa. There's some other veggie options like a veg omelette, a wrap, chilaquiles, impossible burger, and some other things. Coffee and drink selection looks good. There's a nice little patio outside I sat in. There's a few 1 hr reserved spots in the parking garage for this place. Definitely a nice morning treat for myself.

Parking: There's some 1hr reserved spots in the parking garage.“

“Stopped here for brunch and got a chicken sandwich on a brioche bun, it was enjoyable but could have used a little more flavour… I used the salsa from the chips. It did have a very nice atmosphere and everyone was friendly. I would recommend that the chairs be checked as we sat on two broken ones and had to swap them out with others from other tables.“

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

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

“Tried:
Matcha Jin Xuan Oolong
Iced - Regular
75% Sweetness

The Oolong tea flavor was stronger than the Matcha but the drink was good.

BA-LA Matcha
Iced - Regular
25% Sweetness

A fruity twist to the classic matcha taste. The guava flavor definitely predominates, so keep that in mind.

Popcorn Chicken
Thigh (Dark meat)

I really enjoyed that Chicken especially with the dipping sauce.“

“Papaleco is a true gem in the neighborhood! Their gelato is absolutely amazing — so creamy, flavorful, and authentic. You can really taste the quality in every scoop.

All of their paninis are perfect, with the freshest ingredients and just the right balance of flavors. I’ve also tried their toasted sandwiches, and they are just as delicious — warm, crispy, and satisfying.

The place has such a charming, local vibe. It’s the kind of spot that makes the whole neighborhood feel cozy and welcoming. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat or sitting down for a bite, Papaleco never disappoints.

Highly recommend if you’re in the area — it’s one of those places you’ll want to come back to again and again!“
