Always very happy with Claire's Try the breakfast enchiladas. One red and one green to find your favorite sauce. Add a Coconut cortado for your coffee. So great read more

I had a green scramble with rye toast and hash browns, along with a guava mimosa. Everything was delicious and fresh, and service was friendly and great! The menu is large and fit for different dietary restrictions. Prices are reasonable. This is a super cute brunch spot with a very long wait. There aren't enough restrooms and it's quite noisy inside. read more

I really enjoyed brunch here at Claire's. Jade, our server, was super attentive and also helped make our big group of 9 work on the outdoor patio. I ordered the dulce de leche latte and turkey and goat cheese melt with sweet potato fries (pictured). Both did not disappoint and I will be coming back again for brunch as it's near the water and perfect on a sunny day. Really great spot to check out if you're in or near Solana Beach. read more

I was definitely surprised by how spacious the place is and also how good their food is! Quite pricey though and some items may be fairly small for the price but definitely a good place for brunch! Came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon exactly at noon and there was actually no wait which is amazing. Had a nice spot outside on the patio and also brought our dog. This was a nice ambience for sure. Dulce de leche Chai latte was phenomenal! Husband got this one and he definitely made the right choice. There we asked for almond milk and were a little surprised that they charged an extra $1 for that. Not too bad though cuz that drink was delicious. Friends got the ibara mocha and raspberry mocha. But honestly, everyone agreed that the dulce chai latte was the best! Asparagus and roasted beet salad - 8/10 Honestly this was a really nice salad with flavors going really well together. We added some chicken on and it was a great source of protein. Chicken was not too oily and was also cooked really well. Only downside here for which I had to take off a major amount of points is the salad was actually very small. Quite expensive for the small portion size. Raspberry ricotta stuffed French toast - 10/10 This was absolutely amazing! Soft French toast with that raspberry compote and the ricotta filling on the inside was a really good combination. Quite a large amount of ricotta filling which was appreciated. Fresh berries on top were also abundant and overall a really good item on the menu. Fried green tomato sandwich Friend who was vegetarian got this and honestly we were both surprised how large the sandwich was! Really really good portion size with an abundant amount of filling inside. Also got some fries on the side which was nice. Value for money here. Salted Caramel Waffles Friends got this to share and nice how it was loaded up with pecans and bananas and came with Chantilly cream on the side as well. I think they quite enjoyed it because they finished everything on the plate. read more

Sweet brunch gem right across from the Solana Beach Amtrak station. Parking was pretty tight and small behind their lot, so I'd suggest parking along the street nearby. Waited a bit for walk-in dining, so I'd recommend joining the waitlist first. Food was fresh & delicious, if a bit simple, especially the sides. I did enjoy the maple chicken sandwich, crispy outside and juicy inside. Service was a bit hit & miss. I'll chalk it up to a busy weekend since our server did look a bit rundown even though it was only noon. Overall, I'll try this spot again and since I do want to try their other brunch specialties, especially the sweet ones. read more

Such a cute little place. Small inside with a larger outside eating area. Along with a quick takeout coffee area. Came for the fried green tomatoes yet they were out. Settled for the white chicken chili which was perfect for the chilly day. A pistachio cortado went well. Wish I had saved some to dip the cookies they gave with the bill. Service was quick and pleasant. read more

Breakfast here is simply exquisite--clean, vibrant, and paired with impeccable service. Our waitress paid close attention to every detail, even bringing out extra plates and silverware for an additional item we split during our visit. It was completely unsolicited--they simply watch out for their customers. The pancakes are delectable and have a distinctive flavor all their own; they're reason enough to come back here intentionally. The breakfast enchiladas with black beans are perfection, down to the tortillas themselves, which are just subtly crispy and give the dish a gourmet, fresh, and beautifully balanced feel. The eggs Benedict offer a perfect blend of flavors. Every vegetable and fruit ingredient is consistently fresh and neatly served, whether as a side or as part of a larger dish. The oatmeal has a wonderfully rich taste, and the smoothies are spot-on in flavor while leaving you with a satisfying sense of satiety. Everything you eat here feels healthy and thoughtfully prepared. The pastries must surely count as an indulgence, yet they have such a flavorful texture that you still feel that, with some moderation, you'll be just fine. And if the pancakes alone don't keep you coming back, the Oatheart cookies certainly will--they're incredible, and you'll likely want to take home a couple of bags. Claire's is surely confident of this since they serve a sample with your bill when you finish your meal. Highly recommended... but arrive early. It fills up quickly. read more

Great menu and food choices. The Tuscan Benedict was fantastic with bacon. It's really unique that it served on a delicious risotto cake. I have also gotten the short rib Benedict previously which is also delicious. The Greek yogurt with açai is very refreshing. We also sampled the lemon ricotta pancake, which was fluffy and yummy! The divorciado was savory and awesome with salsa verde and pico de gallo. Our table also shared the salted caramel waffle which was delicious . The coffee drinks are great too ! Service was superb and friendly. Very helpful when you can't decide what to order any ambience is cozy and intimate! read more

What a perfect cafe. Given the number of reviews for Claire's, I expected this to be a cafe with loud signage and in a location heavily trafficked. But it's not. Which I loovveeed! Though it's clearly very popular, and for good reason, it still feels quaint and undiscovered. Like a secret oasis. Well done! read more

Claire's is consistently a great spot for brunch. My family has been coming here since they opened. When we have time we sit down in the restaurant for a relaxed meal. The Green Scramble is my go to meal at Claire's. I also request berries on the side and they are very fresh. The salmon Benedict my son tried during our last visit was delicious as well. We go lucky on a weekday and did not have a wait. There is typically a 30+ minute wait for a table. If you don't have time for a sit down mean, the walk up cafe has some delicious options. I particularly like this spot after a long walk in the area. With new walking paths available this is a convenient meeting spot with friends. read more

Went for a late brunch/lunch. Make sure you put your name on the waitlist before you go! Otherwise be prepared to wait a while. It's in a great location on Cedros with lots of parking across the street. The food was great! I got a hot chai latte that was one of the best I've had. The Tuscan benedict was good, but the tomatoes slightly overpowered it. However the hash browns were perfectly crispy. One thing that was disappointing was our server. They were busy and the host told us they were understaffed(part of the long wait), however our server, Jenna, was not friendly. We were overly nice and not demanding, but we never even saw a smile. Disappointing read more

This place is amazing! Came here on a Wednesday at around 1020 am and there was a small line forming. We got seated almost immediately. However when we got our food, there was definitely a line. A lot of people come here for brunch and there are people of all ages here. Their servers here are super nice. The food here is what I enjoyed the most. This place gives me a fancy breakfast vibe. We got the Angus Short rib & hash brown potato cakes and the waiter was nice enough to split it into two plates (we were sharing). The French toast is also a must. The food tasted so good. I will be coming back read more

Great food!! Welcoming to families with small kids and dogs. Wonderful place for weekend brunch or weekly lunch dates.

I've always come all the way up here just for the fried green tomato sandwich, yummiest thing ever and so worth the drive. Unfortunately it's off their physical menu (still online). We ended up leaving after realizing they didn't have it. Giving 4 stars because it usually is amazing and I don't want to bring down their rating but won't be coming back without it :( definitely a bummer. The waitress said a lot of people ask about it, hope they bring it back! read more

This place is a gem! We ordered eggs Benny with salmon and hashbrowns and the eggs were cooked perfectly over easy. It was Sunday around 2pm so there was an hour left until closing. We started with their pancake and they were so custard tasting almost like a creppe, delicate and light...the bacon and eggs were cooked perfectly crispy and over easy on my meal as well. There are pictures to prove it! We know Tom DeLonge loves this place and we agree with him so much! Thanks read more

Have been here multiple times and always love it! My ceiling for breakfast food isn't that high, needs to be something super unique for a 5 star. Lots of seating, no reservations tho, but you can get on the online waitlist through Yelp. You can park at the Solana Beach train station parking lot right across from the restaurant so it's great for that. Never have to worry about parking and have gone here right after a train ride before too. Definitely wanted to shout out the limoncello spritz, never seen or had anything like this before, but it's simple and was super refreshing on a hot day. I got the breakfast sandwich and it was real tasty, but it is standard breakfast items so I'm sure you've had something similar to this before, but still great nonetheless. Will definitely be back, this place is a classic! read more

Claire's might be my all-time favorite breakfast place. The menu is excellent. I've never had anything but an incredible high-quality meal. What I love about Claire's is how it feels like you're at home but better. They're focused on creating a sustainable place that is comfortable and inclusive. As well as just excellent quality and healthy food. read more

This place is super cute and the food is delicious!! Staff was very sweet however the food took so long to come out and service was very slow. My party was there for probably 3 hours, and we were all so hungry because it took forever just to even order the food. Maybe it was because we had a bit of a bigger party (6), however I don't think a wait should be that long at all. Prices are also pretty high. read more

If you're even remotely into chai or pancakes, this café is a must-stop. Their chai is hands-down the best I've had -- perfectly spiced, super comforting, and somehow tastes like a warm hug in a cup. And the multigrain pancakes? Incredible. Fluffy but hearty, with that slightly nutty flavor that makes you feel like you're treating yourself and making a good life choice. The vibe inside is cozy and relaxed, the kind of place you end up staying longer than planned. Bonus: right next door they have a little grab-and-go spot where you can pick up treats and drinks to take with you. It's dangerously convenient if you want "just one more" pastry for later. Overall, a perfect café for slow mornings, catch-ups with friends, or a solo chai date. I'll absolutely be back. Best service too. read more

Paid by card. Claire's is located in it's own little space and there's a large parking lot across the street. I went in on a weekday morning and there weren't many people so my party of 3 was able to be seated right away. They have a lot of standard American breakfast options as well as Mexican options. I enjoyed the food (I ordered enchiladas and eggs) and the server was friendly. The prices were cheap compared to many other places. Overall I would go back and would recommend this place. read more

Claire's on Cedros has the best pancakes in San Diego! The gluten free option is surprisingly light and fluffy and pairs well with fresh berries and lemon zest. The wait can be long especially on weekends so I recommend going at off-peak times. The patios are dog friendly and the service is always very friendly. We recommend Claire's as the #1 choice for breakfast or brunch read more

Clair's on Cedros has a cool, laid-back vibe that made for a perfect family brunch spot. We all ordered different things, and overall, the quality and freshness of the food really stood out. The avocado toast (my pick) was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and served on bread they get from a local bakery, which is seriously next-level. That same bread made the cucumber sandwich and Peruvian chicken sandwich total standouts--fresh, crisp, and satisfying. The biscuits and gravy were decent, but not as memorable as the other dishes. The fresh-squeezed OJ was fire (super refreshing) and the mimosas hit the spot. Great place for a casual but high-quality meal. The service was good but when we first were given our cups for the orange juice one was exceptionally dirty, which they quickly changed out. Nevertheless, I definitely would come back, especially for the sandwiches and that amazing bread. read more

I went to Santa Fe Christian just up the street for high school so I've been to Claire's many times over the years and this past weekend it was just as good as I had remembered. There is always a bit of a wait during weekend mornings and we were told we would have to wait 25 minutes, but it ended up being about 5 to 10 minutes. We were able to be seated inside, but they have plenty of heated outdoor seating in the back as well. Parking is extremely easy because there is a free parking lot in the back or it's also easy to find parking in the train station parking lot across the street. They don't have a very large menu, but it has a lot of great options on it. For my breakfast I started off with the Salted Caramel Latte and thought it was fantastic. Claire's is known to have some of the best coffee around and it was just as good as it always has been. For my entrée, I chose the Parmesan Risotto and Cured Bacon Benedict and really enjoyed it. It was an extremely unique take on a classic dish that I love so it was nice to have a different version. The hashbrowns on the side were fantastic and I would highly recommend anyone ordering them. Overall a great breakfast spot and somewhere that I would call a neighborhood gem. It's definitely a hit with the locals, but would be great for people visiting town as well. I plan to be back in the near future. read more

I hadn't been to Claire's in some time until this past weekend. I'm really glad to see they're still killing it! The back patio with the filtered light through the trees provided an amazing ambiance to have brunch. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive. My latte was one of the better ones I have had in a while. It was bold and strong while being balanced. I had the brioche grilled cheese sandwich with sausage and it was fantastic. The bread was perfectly toasted and buttered, the sausage link was sliced longways and layered so you got a delicious bite each time, and the cheese was ample, so you got gooey goodness throughout the entire sandwich. 10/10, would order again. Claire's is amazing and you should go there. Be sure to check the website before you leave the house to get on the waitlist. It'll save you time waiting when you get there. read more

I don't even know where to begin. It's suuuuch a cute spot! The front, inside, rear outside and side outside are just so adorable and the perfect brunch vibes. The brunch options were a mix of classic and unique dishes. I opted for the unique risotto egg Benedict. It was amazing. Even the toast that came with it seemed exceptional, like it's baked on site. Not sure if it is. I also got the dark chocolate mocha which was not lacking in chocolate in anyway. Our waitress was fantastic. A couple of items took a while and she was apologetic and would let us know she was checking on it. Can't wait to come back! read more
