Stopped here for brunch and got a chicken sandwich on a brioche bun, it was enjoyable but could have used a little more flavour… I used the salsa from the chips. It did have a very nice atmosphere and everyone was friendly. I would recommend that the chairs be checked as we sat on two broken ones and had to swap them out with others from other tables.

What a great casual spot to have breakfast in the Mission Beach area of San diego. I had some eggs, hashbrowns and sausage and asked them to add tomatoes and cheese which they did. It was super flavorful. Highly recommend.

My wife enjoys the Tuna Melt and tortilla chips with house salsa. Reliably tasty ?. I tried the Machaca Burrito. It was pretty good, but do yourself a favor and substitute with the house salsa on top instead of the out-of-the-can flavored tomato sauce they provided. First time I haven't loved everything from this place.

The bakery makes the yummiest sourdough bread. The restaurant is ok... the acai bowls are tiny and overpriced. The service at the bakery is awesome at the restaurant it's busy and chaotic/ disorganized. Overall bakery near the ocean for the win. Oh, and the homemade cinnamon rolls are delicious!

Great breakfast / brunch cafe on mission boulevard: the breakfast quesadilla was tasty and exactly the right amount of food. In addition to that, the coffee was excellent. Including the vibe, the quick and obliging service, I can really recommend stopping by or even taking the food out to the beach, which is close by.

Food- Paid $15 (to-go order after tax+tip) for a small breakfast burrito with bacon that was made up of almost entirely potato and very lacking in flavor.

Service- Had to ask for our ONE ITEM order after waiting for almost 30 minutes and the girl we spoke to seemed bothered we were asking.

Atmosphere- there were so many dirty empty tables and flies everywhere. People were also occupying tables by storing their luggage at them which left little option for seating.

Overall disappointed and at the very least deserving of a refund.

Not my favorite place. They only have scrambled eggs which tell me they probably come out of a bag. Everything I tried to order wasn't available. They did have a honey lavender coffee that I really enjoyed, but that was about it. The place was crowded and I'm stumped as to the reason why. I would pass on the Olive cafe

Loved the atmosphere as it is dog friendly in the patio area. The waitress made our order to go when we’re dining in which was not a big deal. The food was overall good though the regular buttermilk pancakes were below average.
