We went for breakfast and greatly enjoyed it. The spam musubi is a must try! The Jr boy was delish and my husband greatly enjoyed their spicy pork omelette. It is only outdoor seating and no restrooms available.

There’s no place like Leilani’s.
Leilani’s was a regular go-to for me and my Ohana when we lived in the area.
I still crave not just the food, but also the beautiful and welcoming aloha of everyone here. I’ll always come get my ultimate comfort dish loco moco when I’m in town.
Much love and aloha from the other side of the country. I’ll be back!

This is a charming outdoor dining only Cafe. Hawaiian food and smoothies. Open until 2:00. Weekends often have lines of people waiting for their delishous food.

East coast girl here- can’t leave San Diego without getting the Loco Moco Hilo style and a blended iced coffee. Great atmosphere, huge portions and friendly service

This place BROKE DA MOUTH!!! 😋
The Hilo Loco Moco is bomb, so was the Jr Boy breakfast. Gotta try their cold brew, the “Nut Buzz” was absolutely delicious!

Good food. Unique selection and options. Laid back atmosphere.
Absolutely love this place. Atmosphere is laid back but it was so busy the air was still filled with energy. Awesome selection of items. I got the My Kalani and French Toast!! French toast was fresh and on point. The My Kalani was a huge portion of fantastically cooked eggs, delicious kaluha pork and sausage. I always make a point to come back when I am in town.

Leilani’s is an absolute gem—one of those hidden spots you feel lucky to stumble upon. Tucked away in northern PB, it’s easy to miss, but once you find it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Everything I’ve ordered here has been a hit—zero misses. Their fried rice is hands-down my favorite in San Diego (and I don’t say that lightly). And the French toast? The syrup and coconut butter combo is chef’s kiss perfection. It’s comfort food at its finest.
The setup is super laid back—outdoor seating only, with just a few tables and some bar stools. But that’s part of the charm. It honestly feels like you’re hanging out at a friend’s house and his mom just threw down in the kitchen. No frills, just great food and good vibes.
Lived in PB for years and never knew it existed until a buddy from SD brought me. Now it’s a regular go-to. Can’t recommend it enough.
