I absolutely adore this little gem. This is my son and I's special spot when we travel to Mission Beach for Spring Break. I love the euro/cafe vibe and the friendly staff. It's all open air tons of outdoor seating and so lovely.The menu has a little bit of everything but this time I enjoyed the yogurt bowl (yum! fresh fruit!) and cars had the Basic Beach with scrambled eggs, pancakes and bacon! He loved all of it and cleaned his whole plate. They have a great assortment of coffees, juices, and many other beverages. We will keep coming back, and back, and back! Thank you for such a lovely brunch!

Food was terrible, tasted like a low end Dennys. Pancakes were rock hard and eggs bland....tasted like both were pre-made like a buffet. Coffee was fine. Definitely will not go again.

Best avocado egg toast I've had! Normally most avocado toast get soggy after a while but this one didn't. I asked for bacon on the side. Best combo ever!! We also got pancakes and they were delicious!

Wonderful last minute decision to stop for late breakfast/early lunch. Heart platter was tasty, and guest loved his tuna melt! Sat on the option, coffee was great too, close to the beach, nice and fast service, thought prices were appropriate. Check it out!

Stopped by after Kayaking in mission bay. This is a really cute hole-in-the-wall Cafe that was absolutely great, perfect for post exercise chilling. It's all mostly outdoor seating but there are some available seats inside. The service is at the counter but they bring the food out to you! I got the breakfast burrito with chicken and peppers, which was super good. I never thought chicken in a breakfast burrito would be good but it was rock solid. For drink I got an ice caramel latte which was so refreshing! I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

We are visiting from British Columbia, Canada for the second year in a row.We loved it in 2023 and again this year.The food is always delicious and it was fun to have lots of new items listed. Accommodates vegan and gluten free. Service is fast.Unlike the rest of Mission Beach and Pacific Beach it is not rundown. Very clean and cozy.Highly recommend.
