21 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Del Mar

“Kudos to Gerardo, He was always very attentive & making sure we had a wonderful experience. Super Friendly Staff. Overall Amazing Service.“

“Pancakes are so good! One order is enough for two. And wherever they get their bacon? Delicious!“

“I was definitely surprised by how spacious the place is and also how good their food is! Quite pricey though and some items may be fairly small for the price but definitely a good place for brunch!

Came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon exactly at noon and there was actually no wait which is amazing. Had a nice spot outside on the patio and also brought our dog. This was a nice ambience for sure.

Dulce de leche Chai latte was phenomenal! Husband got this one and he definitely made the right choice. There we asked for almond milk and were a little surprised that they charged an extra $1 for that. Not too bad though cuz that drink was delicious.
Friends got the ibara mocha and raspberry mocha. But honestly, everyone agreed that the dulce chai latte was the best!

Asparagus and roasted beet salad - 8/10
Honestly this was a really nice salad with flavors going really well together. We added some chicken on and it was a great source of protein. Chicken was not too oily and was also cooked really well.
Only downside here for which I had to take off a major amount of points is the salad was actually very small. Quite expensive for the small portion size.

Raspberry ricotta stuffed French toast - 10/10
This was absolutely amazing! Soft French toast with that raspberry compote and the ricotta filling on the inside was a really good combination. Quite a large amount of ricotta filling which was appreciated. Fresh berries on top were also abundant and overall a really good item on the menu.

Fried green tomato sandwich
Friend who was vegetarian got this and honestly we were both surprised how large the sandwich was! Really really good portion size with an abundant amount of filling inside. Also got some fries on the side which was nice. Value for money here.

Salted Caramel Waffles
Friends got this to share and nice how it was loaded up with pecans and bananas and came with Chantilly cream on the side as well. I think they quite enjoyed it because they finished everything on the plate.“

“My wife loves these bagels, she likes taking our son and enjoying the outdoor seating along with a fresh bagel. She orders the angry everything with veggie cream cheese and she loves the portion size!“

“Amazing atmosphere! Fantastic food and service! A go to destination! You will not be disappointed 👏🏼“

“A nice clean restaurant with a nice simple menu. The breakfast burrito and the French toast were very good. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and parking behind the restaurant. The service was friendly, albeit slow. Took 20 minutes to have a waiter come after we were seated. Then he didn't check back until the check. But when he was around, he was nice. The seating indoors is loud but only because of the staff very loudly talking to each other.“

“Just all around good food, and excellent service.“

“Fabulous as always 😀 thank you“

“Parakeet Café is outstanding. The food is fresh, clean, and dialed in—no fluff, just quality ingredients done right. Coffee is top-tier, service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is relaxed but polished. It’s the kind of place you can hit for a quick bite or settle in and enjoy your time. Consistently solid. Highly recommend.“

“I started coming here as a kid for the pancakes. Now that I'm older I still go for the pancakes...but the other food is great too! Great location to grab breakfast with the family and then a short hike to the beach to burn off the calories. Can get super crowded but is worth the wait for the home cooked local dinner feel. I have never had a bad experience here.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

T’s Cafe is an absolute gem! The Bloody Mary is amazingly delicious—one of the best I’ve had. The create-your-own scramble with chorizo, cheddar, and sweet peppers was packed with flavor, and the skillet with eggs, home fries, bacon, and cheddar was hearty and perfectly cooked.

The menu offers a nice variety, the atmosphere is exactly what you want in a fun beach town cafe, and the service is excellent. Most importantly, the food is consistently delicious every single visit. Highly recommend stopping here!“

“Yummy! Freshly squeezed orange juice…“

“I had the pleasure of dining here during a weekend getaway, and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The atmosphere was intimate and charming, with soft lighting and great music. The duck confit was tender and flavorful, and the accompanying mashed sweet potatoes were a perfect match. The dessert menu was tempting, and I went with the crème brûlée, which was smooth and creamy with a perfectly caramelized top.“

“Can't go wrong with the Dutch baby and a side of BACON!!!!!!!!“

“👍🥰😊🍾🥂🤣🥳🤩🤘🫵🙋🏾‍♀️💃🏽💐🍓🍊🍍🫐🥞🧇🥓🥩🍳🥂🍾🍾“

The staff were all amazing and extremely friendly , we will definitely come back to dine here .“

Our meal was served promptly and prepared with care—everything was fresh, well-presented, and delicious. The pancakes were light and flavorful, and the overall quality exceeded expectations.

The manager deserves special recognition for running such a well-organized establishment. Their presence was noticeable in the smooth service, attention to detail, and overall positive atmosphere. It is clear they take great pride in both their team and the guest experience.“
