Service and food was amazing, I got the crab egg Benedict and a regular matcha latte. This has to be the best matcha I’ve had and the atmosphere was so nice and cozy def a must visit And after you can walk up the street and enjoy the nice coast view!

The food portion is small. Not filling. The bathroom is located in the kitchen. This does not seem sanitary as random people are walking in and out through the kitchen where the chef prepares the food.

This is a great cafe if you want to be near the beach. It’s a cute atmosphere, with pretty decent service. It’s busy on the weekends, so probably best to get a reservation. A little overpriced for what it is, but as long as you’re prepared, then it’s a great place to enjoy a breakfast meal!

Sarah is such a doll. There was a huge line for opening Saturday and she met everyone with a smile and a nice attitude. So sweet and apologetic for the wait times. Cute place.

Delicious gourmet breakfast and lunch is served in this cute boutique Cafe that lies along Sunset Cliffs at Point Loma boulevard. Seating is both indoors and outdoors but very limited so make a reservation. I have been a fan of this place ever since it opened a few years back. It has enhanced the neighborhood and provided a gourmet option where it was really needed.

Overpriced as if this place is on the moon. Service ok at best. Food basic and mediocre for the extreme dollar amount. Not worth it.

I’ve heard such great things and always drive by Little Lion Cafe so finally got the chance to try it out!

It’s such a cute cafe right around the corner from Sunset Cliffs. I highly recommend making reservations, it is very small with not a lot of seating so you could be waiting a bit if you try and walk in

Service was great, I thought the food was okay overall. A little on the pricier side in my opinion for what you get

We got the California Croissant sandwich with a side of the duck/bacon sausage, turkey and bacon sandwich, coffee cake and two coffees

Overall it was a cute place to check out. I’d come back again to try out some of the other food options

Highly recommend going for a walk along the cliffs after your meal it’s so beautiful out there

I love this place SO much! This was no doubt the best breakfast I have ever had. Next time I visit the area I will have to go again! The atmosphere was so nice! We had an extremely kind waitress who was very friendly! The cafe was super cute, cleanly, & well decorated! There was outdoor/indoor seating! I had belgian waffles with berries & cream, I also had the horchata cold brew which was sooo amazing! I definitely would recommend this place to everyone!

Been a regular for years now! The California Belgium cuisine is STILL working! Space is charming and sweet. Wait staff is attentive and chill. Oh…the BEST PLAYLIST done by one of the Coulon sisters! From espresso to dessert and everything in between your palate will be pleased! There’s usually a wait but well worth it! Put your name down and take a short walk to Sunset Cliffs to watch the waves! Chef Sara blows us away every time with her food! Her Belgian potatoes are craveable!
