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

My absolute favorite cafe in San Diego. I love this place - everything about it - the friendliness of the staff, the food, the atmosphere… it’s all incredible! The price of the food and beverages is very reasonable. I come several times a week. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

This place has been my favorite iced vanilla latte in all of San Diego for almost a decade now. I love the chill coffee house vibes and cutest little courtyard ever. I walk my dog down almost every weekend and grab my latte and açaí bowl. Honestly Dos palmas just makes me so happy. And you can use your own cup! Much love.

I guess in 2025 some places will do whatever it takes to sell something. Including flat out lying. I asked if they made some pastry’s that day and was told yes. They obviously were day old stale pastries. Maybe Have some integrity?

Honestly, one of the best avocado toasts I’ve gotten in a while! Perfect amount of avocado, it’s smashed perfectly so it stays on the bread but still filling. I added crispy bacon and you can tell it was bacon that’d been made fresh to order.

They have an entire wall of hot sauces to choose from and great coffee options. I had the horchata cold brew, which was the perfect treat for me!

Came here for lunch and enjoyed a very nice sized turkey pesto panini. They load it with veggies and plenty of turkey. The staff was super friendly and helpful. It was lunch time and there was plenty of space to sit inside and out. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in town.
