If you are looking for a fat meaty tasty super big and delicious hot pastrami sandwich anywhere in San Diego...you cannot leave out this place. You have to try it because it may be that this is the one you say, "Had I known about this place before...OMG!" I also am in heaven and am known to just stop by to pick up a big Strawberry-Banana smoothie. You know...like some people stop at the bar for a drink...well, I go for the smoothie here. YUMMY! The locals I saw here the first time I came were neighbors. What do ya know? I didn't even realize what a following the place has. But I sure understand why. The family that runs it is very cool as well. Love this place and you should give it a try. Bet you won't regret it! This restaurant is small but not too busy most of time to dine there. By the way, when driving in Jamul...the rest of us are not in vacation mode. Pulling over to let others go by is nothing to be embarrassed about...someone may throw you a million dollars as a thank you! Okay...maybe not but they will thank you a million times over! :) Be polite while visiting and you will be happier when you are enjoying the meal. Thank you! read more

Dude, this place is awesome and a local gem. The portions are extremely generous and the taste is incredible. I am a huge fan of their albóndiga soup that is served only on Tues, Thurs, and Sat. Smoothies are also thebomb.com ! The service is always very friendly and fast, which is always a plus in my book. read more

Holy crap what a hidden gem. Massive delicious portions and dirt cheap. Will make it a habit to go when in east county. Go there. Eat food. Be happy. read more

The best sandwich shop ever. If you want delicious, huge, high quality (all ingredients are fresh) food for really cheap, go here. It is impossible to be dissatisfied here! YUM They must use magic because everything they sell is amazing, from bagels to BLT's. (I have only had the veggie but from what I have heard) The vegetarian sandwich is delicious-they put a whole avocado on it. The veggie is carnivore-approved also. They are mainly known for their sandwiches, and I hear a lot about the BLT from friends. If you don't want two meals worth, you can ask for a half sandwich! read more

Order a tasty sandwich, and you will have enough food for lunch and dinner. Also, try the excellent potato salad. Very nice place and friendly folks. read more

This is some of the best food around. Huge portions, awesome smoothies, a great mocha frappe, and amazing salads and sandwiches!! Definitely recommend a stop here if your in the area! read more

Bravo Cafe & Yogurt - Mocha Latte and bacon and egg croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Spring Valley, California

It's hard to keep places a secret and not get them blown-up, but when I say that Café Bravo is HANDS DOWN THE BEST DELICATESSEN IN ALL OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY, I mean there isn't one better. I've been coming to this location for over two years and it still just blows my mind that some random place that's so simple can do everything so right. I travel clear across East County from Ramona to Jamul just to eat here. That's how great this little hole-in-the-wall is. Sandwiches are massive. Want to test that theory; order a half and see how far you get. Anything that's barbeque related is made fresh and utterly splendid. Can't go wrong with ham or pulled pork, but if you keep Kosher, there's mounds of roast beef, chicken, turkey, etc. And it all is just so generous! Salads flow off the bowl. I have not had soup or other potage type orders, so I won't comment on them. However, watch what other people order and see just how much you get, and what you're in for. For the nay-sayers who want more, make your own food if you can do better! They're no slouch when it comes to refreshments. As a former Barista for Starbucks and Seattle's Best, these guys are far better at making mochas than any current satellite go-to café. Espresso is never burnt, steamed milk is always perfect temp, right amount of syrup/caramel/chocolate. They also serve shakes and smoothies, which are surprisingly popular at this place. No boba. (GTFO Clairemont hipster!) This is a true hole-in-the-wall. There's no Wi-Fi, there's no fine patio seating, and space is limited. And that's just fine because frankly all of Jamul DOES NOT need to swamp this place every day. If they made this place any larger, people would bring sleeping bags. As it is, every BP agent from Campo to IB hits this place for lunch, and there's no confusion as to why. It is THE place to go to for an incredible lunch. Unbelievable place. The only thing I wish they had more of would be Mediterranean food dishes like gyros. Give these people your money! read more

This is the best little cafe around! Great food, great service and wonderful people. Their sandwiches are huge! Delicious and such big portions. Enough to share and have left overs. I only wish they were open on the weekends. I highly recommend the chicken salad sandwich on the roll, yummmmm!! And their soups are just as tasty. Highly recommend Bravo Cafe, our lil gem In Jamul. read more

This place is great!! I came here with the whole family (5 people) and we all ordered something different. We got all of our food at the same time delivered by a young man with a great attitude. After the delicious lunch we all had ice cream. Very delicious food and great prices!! A Must Go! read more

The only thing better than the world's best sandwich is the amazingly friendly service. Hands down beats Jersey Mike's. I love a great sandwich and Bravo Cafe is my heaven. read more

All right, this has got to be one of my favorite places in San Diego. I try to eat lunch here at least once a week. Bravo Cafe is a little mom and pop shop just off the side of highway 94. The owners are extremely friendly and the portions are humongous. I often ask myself "How can these people stay in business with as much food as they serve and as little as they charge?" Seriously, awesome food, big portions, great service and cheap!!! My favorites are the Mexican style meatball soup, chicken salad sandwich and the BLT. Bravo isn't a fancy place but if your looking for great simple food this is the place. If your ever in the area stop by and if your not in the area, its worth the drive! read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is great - generous portions and fresh ingredients. Their Greek Salad is just perfect. Its a great break from the fast food down in Rancho San Diego. The family who runs the shop is very nice. Can't beat the customer service and product. read more

The guy is great, the food is fresh and fast. Good coffee too. Also, the fruit stand next door is CHEAP read more

Wow. Sandwiches don't get much better than this. If you would like to know quickly if you should eat here, the answer is YES. If you like more descriptive reviews, than let me start off by saying that I have never had a better sandwich. We got a BLT (extra Bacon of course) and a chicken sandwich, both on a multi grain roll. The bread was fresh and warm. The sandwiches were stocked full of fresh veggies and the meat on both sandwiches was very well cooked. We will ABSOLUTELY be regular customers here. read more

Such a nice little cafe here in Jamul. I go here everytime I want a sandwich. It can be a bit pricey, in my opinion, but it is worth all your money. The sandwiches are always filling. Shakes are also filling and its just very smooth, unlike some which can be very thick that you have to wait to suck its contents up through a straw. They have a nice assortment of tea bags to go with the breakfast croissant sandwiches, and a nice assortment of chips to go with the sandwiches, but personally, I go to 7-11 across the street to get chips since Bravos doesn't have the flavor of chips I like. Service is nice and genuine, like a home. Recommend going here at least once to try out if you're in the area. Some local high school kids, including myself, go here whenever there is an event happening. Its completely worth it! read more

I didn't know I needed that sandwich in my life, but I did. It was huge and came out in less than 5 minutes. Definitely will be coming back

I love this place. Great prices, huge portions, friendly staff. I would highly recommend the the smoothies!

In a world of foot longs that come up an inch short (I'm looking at you subway) this place delivers great food for an exceptional value. The breakfast sandwiches are loaded with eggs and piles of bacon or sausage and can easily feed two people. No precooked eggs (*cough... Starbucks...cough*) microwaved just for you, or the ones folded over themselves into a perfect square (seriously fast food places, how much science does it take for you to do that?) the eggs are cracked fresh and cooked to order. You're not going to get smoked pulled pork hash with artisan Gouda cheese on ciabatta bread here, not that there's anything wrong with that, but this is just not that kind of joint. You will get honest food prepared by honest people. Pick any sandwich on the menu and stand by for a heavy roll. You will have two choices, save half for later or bring a friend because these things are no joke. They remind me of something I'd make at home only they're bigger and better. The deli meats taste fresh and of high quality, the vegetables were clearly cut in house and not poured out of a bag, and the bread is always fresh. If you're not a local you're probably never going to find it, but if you find yourself in the area, look across from the 7-11 and you'll see it. If you're from here, it's convenient as you head in to town, grab breakfast and lunch in one quick stop and you won't be disappointed, except for maybe by the coffee. It's the best coffee shop in Jamul, but that's because it's the only coffee shop in Jamul. It's still better than 7-11 coffee, but it's just not great, but I confess to being a coffee snob, so I don't hold it against them... The food is good and family that runs the place make it great. So next time you're out for a ride on your crotch rocket, hog, or peddler stop in and support a local business instead of just riding through! read more

Always great every time all sandwiches I can't believe I still have to type more. This place is good. Yelp forces me to say more and more and more. Just go get a sandwich from here. read more

Best service. Food is always on point. I love the chicken soup, chicken salad Sandwich and the chocolate milkshakes.

Basically made this just so I could write a great review about this place. The portions are huge which I LOVE! I bought a half sandwich and half salad to go that lasted me two days- lunch and dinner on both days! I have nothing bad to say about the food or the service; both excellent. However, I am not a big fan of the seating but that doesn't really matter to me because the food is that good and I usually take to go. Anyways... EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS. I am always beyond satisfied. read more

After reading all the 5 star reviews about this place I just had to try it for myself. I was excited and was looking forward to an amazing lunch but was quite disappointed. I ordered the bravo sandwich which came with three types of meat, turkey, ham and salami, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, red onions, pickle and potato salad. The sandwich was stacked so high it was a challenge trying to fit it into my mouth! There was probably a pound of meat on each half of the sandwich! The sandwich was ok, nothing special that you can't make at home yourself. The potato salad was bland. Over all, I think that this place is ok. I think that the quality of the food was taken by the quantity. I would go back just to try the salad and soups. Will update. read more

Yum yum yum!!! Great place for a quick bite or order to go! Perfect catering for big events! The bread that they serve is delicious! The Mediterranean salad with chicken is wonderful and the sandwiches are huge and can be split between two people or saved for another meal read more

Awesome mom and pop sandwich shop on Hwy 94. The food comes in giant portions and is delicious. The customer service is wonderful and it being a family run shop sure makes the difference. My favorite is the chicken salad sandwich. read more
