My husband and I went here on our honeymoon and it turned into one of our favorite breakfast places in San Diego. We recently took a couple family members when we visited and everything was just as amazing as before. Each time we were seated very quickly, service was on point, and the food was beyond fantastic. They also have a gluten free menu and vegan options. Sitting outside on the patio is ideal, but most people are waiting to sit outside so you have a better chance getting a table if you choose to sit inside.

Deep dish gluten free that tastes amazing. Nothing More needs to be said if you are in the gluten free community! So yummy. My wife and son loved their regular NY pizza as well!

Cute spot and opens early! There were Gluten free pancakes and other options, but you'll need to ask the server to double check regarding allergies. Service was great and the food was tasty. Everything came out fast. Atmosphere was good, especially for an early morning crowd.

Food was out of this world. Some of the best Thai food I've had. The meats were tender and flavorful. That fried fish was crispy and most. The beef stew flavor was bright, savory, and crisp. Well worth what you pay for it. I would definitely be interested in trying some of those cocktails next time! My friend had the Beef Tallow fried rice and the NY steak on that was epic... Tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Order it Medium Rare at the very most.... But rare if you can handle it. You will not be disappointed. Plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options if needed.

I used to live around the area and this is my go to spot! Moved to the other side of town and still love when have something to do in the area and I get to stop by. The music is upbeat, the food is filling but not heavy, and the ingredients they use make me feel great. I have a gluten allergy and love that they give me two slices of toast! Gluten free bread is a lot smaller than normal bread and most places don’t make up the difference. All juices, bowls and smoothies are made fresh in house too and they have travel bottles for convenience :)

Ate there for a late lunch. Open air dining. Multiple games on. Music kind of loud. Service was friendly. Food was tasty. My wife is gluten-free and was able to find multiple options she could eat. My street tacos had really good flavor.

So sad I found this place just a month before I plan to move from the area! Really good protein shake flavors that can be made vegan or gluten free! Reasonable prices. Support local!!! If the door feels closed just wait for them to open it. They have to keep it closed so homeless don’t keep wandering in with only 1 person on staff. Lots of seating so feel free to bring your laptop.
