“I’m a local customer for over 25 years. I love this place every thing is well prepare with love. The owners are always happy to see the customers! One of my favorite is the Mexican Mocha, the breakfast sandwich. To say the least everything on the menu is excellent. I’ve rather support this small family coffee shop, then Starbucks. Thank you so much for caring for you’re customers and the great food. Many Blessings!“

They offer inside and outside seating. The place gets very packed during peek hours, so either come early or later in the day.

They also offer a small market offering snacks and beverages.“

“Loved Saturday, and Sunday breakfast at Gillespie Field. A great staff of folks, and a must visit if your only on vacation.“

“This is now my favorite coffee shop. Everything about this spot was perfect. The breakfast panini was delicious and the mexican mocha with oat milk was amazing. Their outside patio reminds me of a time with my family in Mexico . 10/10 would recommend.“

“Best corned beef hash ever!!“

“The workers are always so kind and ready to greet you with a smile. The restaurant is always clean and has a welcoming feeling as soon as u enter. The dishes are always clean in the mornings, not like other restaurants where you see dirty spots on the cups. It's just amazing service especially on Sundays the busy days. Props to everyone working there. The owner really knows how to manage a restaurant. I will recommend many friends and family to eat here knowing they'll leave satisfied. The young looking guy that's always wearing an apron on Sundays and sweeping, working nonstop is always saying hi to everyone and very kind. He looks like a hardworker.

Vegetarian options: They have plenty of yummy vegetarian options. Just let them know what your craving and they will accommodate.

Parking: They have plenty of parking. And extra parking.

Kid-friendliness: The workers are always very sweet and patient with the kids. My daughter loves going to give them hugs.“

“Best coffee in The Village, no contest.

I really appreciate the complexity of their signature drinks like the Black Sesame and brown sugar cinnamon. Lots of places just load up on sweet and syrup, not here!

Still kicking myself for ignoring this place for 4 years. I guess that's what I get for thinking "I'll get there eventually.". Now it's my go to spot when I want a great cup of something special.“

“Great customer service great food Great coffee Highly recommended“

“Always great service and delicious food prepared fresh. Family atmosphere and worth the wait.“

“The space is small and cozy but if you preferred open air they do have a few chairs outside. The menu is short and concise for a quick breakfast and/or brunch. The interior design is minimalistic I would say (when I visited a few years ago & I don’t know if they have any major change).“

“Todo riquisimo muy amables y atentos“

“Nice place to relax and chill away from the house“

“Best coffee in San Diego!!!! ☕️✨“

“Cozy and friendly best coffee ☕️“

“Me encanto el lugar que es muy familiar♥️“

“The food and service is magnificent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I am horribly disappointed!!! They changed the sausage gravy to the LAZIEST sausage gravy you can make! Cut up sausage links! I tell people to go just for the sausage and biscuits. Now I will Not tell anyone to go. Bad Bad Bad decision. It's just a run of the mill, nothing special about it, breakfast place now.“

“I was here yesterday to grab some coffee and breakfast while I did some work. The staff was very kind and helpful. Made me feel like I was at home. My waitress was so sweet, she reminded me of a Disney princess haha. I got a cafe mocha and it was soooo good, I had to get it twice. If I’m ever back in town, this is the spot.“

“What an amazing gem of a place this is. The owner is amazing and eating here is like eating at a family‘s house. So warm and welcoming, and the food is great! Everything is made in the house or in the case of some of the pastries actually imported from Italy. The owner gave us a sample of the limoncello doughnut she had just received from Italy and it was fantastic. Whether you come by car or come by boat I highly recommend just coming here.“

“My new favorite place. They may not have all the flavors but they did not disappoint with the strawberry Smoothie! The drink was cold and the boba to my surprise was nice and warm on the bottom! The cup felt warm on the bottom. Drinking warm boba through the cold drink was such a nice touch!“

“I love La Mesa Bistro team working is very nice, friendly and efficient. It’s clean and you can eat indoor or outside The food is all very good and ready quickly! My favorites açaí be wil and grilled Cheese on sourdough with artichokes and avocado. It’s fabulous- sorry I can’t remember the benefits of it. ?“

“Such a sweet little hidden gem. My son is in archery camp and I was looking for a close by place to grab a snack. I was pleasantly surprised to find this tucked inside the tennis center. I had the turkey avocado sandwich and a chai tea...very tasty. Pleasant staff. Quick service. Good food!“

“This place is cozy, inviting, clean. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff, but didn't interact much. The music was low which I personally like. I love the booth seating. Fast service.

My Complaints: I ordered a tuna melt but the tuna was cold and the bread of toasted. Defeats the purpose of a melt. But everything else was great. They have on the menu Mr. Pibbs soda, but didn't have any, and offered a Dr Pepper instead.“

“Very good prices throughout the menu. I sat in the Cafe and was brought my order pretty quickly.
I changed out the croissant bread on my sandwich for squaw bread and I was disappointed that it wasn't toasted but all the other ingredients were good so I still liked it. It had lots of turkey, and the cranberry mayo on the sandwich was a nice touch. I also got Thai tea and it had a nice bold flavor the way I love it.
My receipt had wifi login information for easy access and I was able to stay and do some work on my phone after I finished my meal. The atmosphere was very slow and all the employees I spoke to were very kind.

Parking: The parking lot is a little small and therefore a bit tight to drive around but during the time I went, there was plenty of open spaces so it wasn't a problem.“

“I got the soy chorizo burrito with breakfast potatoes and a mimosa. There's some other veggie options like a veg omelette, a wrap, chilaquiles, impossible burger, and some other things. Coffee and drink selection looks good. There's a nice little patio outside I sat in. There's a few 1 hr reserved spots in the parking garage for this place. Definitely a nice morning treat for myself.

Parking: There's some 1hr reserved spots in the parking garage.“

“i frequent Lollicup for the Boba which is an option for any drink on their menu- hot, warm, or cold. The menu covers the usual flavored drink combos with just as many unique signature flavored drinks. Of course, like the Boba you have the option to get a traditional iced tea or hot cocoa But Why?? Lollicup also serves Slushies, Smoothies, Milkshakes, Snow, Dairy & Non-Dairy just ask the staff are always friendly and know their drink ??. Been here for 10+ years and Lollicup does not disappoint/hits the brain-freezing/warm-soothing spot Everytime.“

“We have been dining at Patty's for about 6 years.Well love the food. It has a homemade flavor that we appreciate.We have our favorite items such as the Carne Asada burrito served with rice and beans and the 1/2 lb Sirloin burger topped with sauteed onions and mushrooms, served with perfectly streamed veggies and mashed potatoes. It also comes with either salad or soup. Salads are good and I definitely recommend their Lemony chicken and rice soup. Also included is your choice of bread.The wait staff is always friendly and attentive.Patty's has a diner feel.“

“My daughters and I had brunch here, and the staff was really friendly. The place had a nice atmosphere with great outdoor seating. While it's not a vegan restaurant, they were able to adjust my dish, the Mediterranean Breakfast, to make it vegan. Everything was good, but the salad was way too salty with too much dressing. I should have asked for the dressing on the side. My daughter got the churros. They were okay, but I thought they were too doughy, so I wouldn’t order them again.“

“Bistro Cajon is a hidden gem! The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a perfect spot for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. Their omelettes are simply divine—fluffy, flavorful, and generously filled with fresh ingredients. Whether you're a meat lover or prefer veggies, they have options to satisfy every palate. Pair it with a freshly brewed coffee, and you're set for a delightful morning. Highly recommend stopping by Bistro Cajon for a culinary treat!“

“Great website! Excellent products, fast shipping, and top-notch service. Highly recommended! 5 stars!“

“Coffee is really good !! Owners are incredibly nice !“

“This place serves coffee that’s stronger than my will to live. I’ll be back. ☕️“

“Limited seating so gettingthere early is recommended. 8 counter seats, outdoor seating. Enjoyed sitting inside at lower bar; allowed us to better engage with the chefs and wait staff. Very friendly, neighborhood hangout. Interesting wine selection from smaller vineyards. Daily menu specials along with regular items. Had the tomato salad, cabbage rolls, sheepshead fish. Everything was very well prepared.“

“Hidden health Cafe/Coffee bar on third avenue. They open at 5:30am Mon-Fri! Great way to start your day. They have a variety of smoothies/coffee flavors and treats. Staff is very nice. I wanted to tip on the pinpad..but could not? Cash only. I hope the owner changes it soon. Recomend coffee heads to try it out muscle heads! ? and every1 in between“

“6 stars for the croissant dough- buttery, flakey awesomeness! I also love that the pastries are not as sticky sweet. I'm Swiss and its the closest I found in Northpark to the french pastries I know from home. Everything I tried so far tasted very fresh & they seem to use high quality ingredients. The catch: there is very little filling, often concentrated in one small spot. While I don't mind that in the sweet versions as much I was disappointed with the savory... for 6$ there was only a tiny piece of ham & the cheese had either mostly leaked out during baking or there just wasnt as much to begin with.

Staff is always friendly & the place very airy and clean. Quite polished modern decor which feels a bit cold/sterile to me, could use a bit more color & warmth to feel more inviting.“

“Great bartender too. Started with Negroni and had the house red. Not bad with the diiavola pizza.“

“1st time, won’t be the last....“

“Honestly, I’ve been looking for a good San Diego bagel since 2015 and I have finally found my place. Living in New York really spoiled me and unfortunately I am addicted to bagels. I have been thoroughly disappointed in my search for bagels until I stumbled upon Memo’s Cafe. Immediately upon entering, the aroma of a fresh baked bagel hits your nose. The staff is extremely friendly but I don’t care. I just want a good bagel. I started off with a classic bagel and cream cheese. I always start with the basics to gauge my bagel. The Bagel was toasted and savory plain cream cheese was smeared on. I didn’t have high expectations since all my previous San Diego bagel experiences have been trash. But once I took a bite, that was it. I was back in New York. Perfect balance of crunch and chewy. Just the right dose of cream cheese hit my veins. I was in heaven. I devoured the bagel. I politely thanked them and left. Now after I was off the cream cheese high, I decided to try Memos again a week later, to ensure it wasn’t a fluke.
My second visit, I had the pleasure of meeting Memo herself. She was very kind and knew her bagels. This time I had to go with the everything bagel. A real test. Most places can make the everything too salty. There is an art to the everything bagel. It needs to taste just like everything and nothing all at once. I ordered the everything bagel and it was phenomenal. I’ve been back several times and it’s consistently good. Thank you for the best bagels Memo! You guys are amazing!!!“

“Love ❤️ this place..I drive 25+ miles to go there but there the best in town..“
