My food rating is actually for their drinks. Ive never had their food, but would like to try the next time I go.
The coffee is really good and my favorite drink is the Mermaid Special. Since I tried it, it is the only thing drink I order. Don't need to try anything else 😃

Attempting to be laid back, but place was dirty almost every table had dirt on them. No one cleaned the lobby while there. Flys as a result. Food was only ok. Expensive for what u get.

Katy’s Café in imperial Beach is when a few places open on a Sunday. This is a place where you can get smoothies, coffees, snacks, and just about anything else you want to drink. The place is always hopping and busy I a good way.

There are three tables against the south wall near the graphic where you can meet with people. In the middle, there are two additional larger tables where some people hang out. And then along the northern wall, there are lounge chair high tops where we can either sit or wait for your order.

The local painting art is fun as well. There are a couple pieces on the flower cooler that are nice. But the ones near the door, showing scenes of surfing, are my favorite. The artist is listed as Lynn. I’ve never met Lynn, but I definitely like Lynn‘s work.

Katy’s Cafe does offer a Wi-Fi, though I don’t see a lot of people parking here and doing the laptop lifestyle. I’m sure some people do, maybe they hook up with their phone. The location is dog friendly as well. It has a total Imperial Beach vibe.

The graphics and painting on the wall makes us place super vibrant. I love the style of the painting That they have. In the morning, parking is usually pretty easy. In the afternoon, parking would be a little bit more challenging.

The staff is always super friendly and accommodating. It doesn’t take too long to get whatever you order. I have tried the Norwegian, lox bagel, the Café Club sandwich, and the Banana Slamma smoothies. I’ve always enjoyed everything here. Not being much of a coffee drinker, I always revert to the chai latte. But today I ordered the Banana Slamma. Total winner.

This is an excellent place to snag some food. In the back, there are some chairs there are always constantly busy. It’s a great place to hang out before heading back to the beach.

Katy’s is a local spot! My elderly father walks here almost daily and I tag along sometimes. The staff here is the best in town— so friendly, kind and helpful! My personal favorite is the chipotle bueno.
It help that is also mere steps to an ocean view. What’s not to like really

My friend and I stopped here after getting into SD. The salmon beach bagel was amazing, and the açaí bowl was also great!! The workers were so friendly too! Nice vibes all around.

Great coffees and the food is perfect for a slightly different take on breakfast foods. The Bedhead has been an after surf standard for years.

Stood at the counter for 4minutes , shop was busy (that’s ok) there was no “hey I’ll be right there” or “I’ll be with you in a moment” just people walking past me. After 4 minutes cool guy with mustache (great dude) came up took my order. Went to go sit down with my girlfriend, the whole bench was wet so I sat on a corner that wasn’t wet(that’s fine , it happens), the tables were pushed in a corner so we just shared 2 tables (I felt it rude to move the establishments set up). There are 3 open tables in the restaurant , woman with curly hair that works the front walks over and tells us that they have a lot of customers and that they need to take a table from us and that we shouldn’t have taken 2 tables because there’s only 2 of us( my girlfriend was mid bite lol) . I asked her for a rag so I can wipe the bench and not get wet so I could scoot us over. ( the lady that had talked to us needed space for her friend that didn’t need to wait in line, she just walked in an was greeted with a huge hug). 1. would of been cool to hear a “just one moment please” 2. “Sorry for inconvenience, do you mind if I move this table that your eating on we mis judged our table placement”. Literally ANY common courtesy would have made it ok. Even me saying “thankyou” after I ordered and tipped was greeted with a blank stare.
