“ My wife and I stopped here for a late night snack and coffee, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. She had fish tacos, and I had the breakfast burrito. Both were excellent. We had espresso with dessert, and the coffee was outstanding. Atmosphere is relaxed and casual, and the outdoor heaters kept us comfortable. Service could not have been better, and although this is a tourist area prices were surprisingly low. Highly recommend! ”
“ This cafe has a very cozy outdoor seating that is entirely covered with the shade of trees. I went here on a hot day yet the outdoor seating had cool breeze. The owner was a sweet person who showed me the difference between milkshakes and malts. both their chocolate and vanilla malts were yummy. Special and biggest shoutout to their churros. I personally never liked churros but they were delicious here. They were warm, crispy and had a cream filling inside with just the perfect amount of sweetness. Definitely going back here ”
“ Really awesome Super great lovely place.Must go. Try it out have fun. ”
“ I went to this place 10-15 years ago and studied during high school and college. Had to do a work day there and it was amazing. Pulled up a comfy corner and plugged in my laptop, ordered multiple coffees and meals, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was kind and let me stay for hours as I kept ordering which was nice because my internet was shut off due to some electrical work at home. They didn’t have a menu, beer, or wine when I went long ago and the menu is surprisingly expansive considering how small and cozy the place is. ”

The atmosphere here is warm and inviting, making it an ideal place to unwind, whether you're starting your day or seeking a late-night snack.
The cafe's reputation is built on its fervent commitment to authenticity and quality. From its diverse array of sandwiches to gourmet burgers and artisanal pizzas, each dish is crafted with care. Take the Chicken Salad Sandwich, for instance—tender chicken breast intertwined with a light mixture of sour cream, herbs, and spices. Or, dive into the heartwarming Philly Cheese Steak, bringing together succulent beef, sautéed mushrooms, and onions with a beautiful melt of Swiss cheese.
The burger selection is equally impressive, featuring delightful options like the Hawaiian Burger with sweet grilled pineapple, and the classic Original Cheeseburger which you can customize with Swiss, provolone, or cheddar cheese.

And let's not forget the pizzas—each made fresh to order. The San Diego Pizza stands out with its unique mix of feta cheese, red onions, avocado, and black olives, embodying a laid-back Californian spirit. It requires a little patience, with a cooking time of 15 to 20 minutes, but trust me, the wait is worth every bite.
Customer experiences echo the cafe's charm. Many rave about the impressive Mexican mochas that are rich, satisfying, and served alongside mouthwatering churros—warm, crispy, and filled with creamy goodness.
