My wife ordered the sampler plate, and I had the Eggs Benedict. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Don't skip the specialty lattes--they were outstanding and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The prices were also very reasonable, especially compared with many of the restaurants near the Convention Center. The combination of great food, fun atmosphere, and good value makes this place an easy recommendation. I heard they're closing a few locations, so I'm really hoping this one stays open because it's a total gem. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in San Diego!

We visited this established on a Sunday, I expected the wait to be a bit long. There was a lot of confusion about, where stand to check in.

You order at the counter, and you pick up your food when called. We shared the avo toast, acai bowl and WOW sandwich (bacon & egg on croissant or bagel). First of all, the WOW didn't look very big, but it packed a punch. It was so filling. Secondarily, the avo toast had uber fresh avo, and the arugula & balsamic vinegar provided nice contrast to the creaminess of the avo. Lastly, the acai was nice & cold on a hot day. The fruit was fresh and plentiful, making the bowl worth the price. Valentine, who took our order was super nice as was the owner and remainder of the staff. There is a small amount of seating inside, and a few tables outside. I would definitely return to Chiefy, vs waiting in the long lines in the places around the corner. The food is very good, and the service is excellent.

The place looks nice and the staff seems friendly, but repeatedly ordering grocery delivery and never tipping the person bringing it to you is certainly... a choice. I actually considered bringing my girlfriend here sometime, but I think I'll spend my money somewhere that shows a little more appreciation for service workers. And a little tip for their customer reading this, apparently tipping for service isn't necessary here, so maybe keep that same energy when your check comes. One star from this delivery driver

Seating took a little while after opening, likely because they stagger new parties to avoid overwhelming the kitchen with orders all at once. There were tons of fun brunch drinks listed on a cute, record-shaped acrylic menu, although the coffee options were pretty limited. The food menu was just as fun and whimsical, and the waitstaff were all dressed to match the theme. Everyone was efficient, friendly, and helpful. We tried the soufflé pancakes, which were good, though they weren't quite as fluffy and jiggly as Japanese soufflé pancakes. They were also quite sweet on their own, so we didn't really need the syrup. We also ordered the cheese fondue plate, which came with steamed vegetables, kielbasa, and bread cubes--a really fun concept. Overall, the atmosphere is beautiful, playful, and definitely part of the experience. I'd happily come back if I'm in the area, especially if there isn't a long wait for a table.

Conveniently located right by the little Italy farmers market. There's a self serve water station and self seating. You line up to order your food and they will give you a number and bring it to your table. Although the line looked long, it moved at a relatively quick pace. We really enjoyed our food and everything looked so colorful and appealing with fresh fruits and vegetables on top. The waffles were delicious and the eggs were perfectly poached atop the avocado toast.

The menu leans classic breakfast but with portions big enough to fuel another day of taco hunting. I went with pancakes and eggs bc it was simple, but they nailed it. Fluffy pancakes, eggs cooked right, and orange juice that kept coming (a true blessing on a food road trip). It's not flashy or "Instagram famous," but that's exactly why I liked it. The Lazy Hippo does the basics really well, which makes it the perfect pit stop before diving back into California's endless lineup of tacos, burgers, and desserts.

Since the carnitas was an add-on, I wasn't sure what to expect on the portion but they were quite generous. Great place for breakfast or lunch on Sunday if you're also looking to catch a game!

She made sure my Corona Non-Alcoholic beer arrived right on time every time, and her warm energy added a lot to the overall experience. The skillet is, without question, one of the most skillfully executed brunch dishes I've had in San Diego. Every component felt thoughtfully prepared and well balanced. The potatoes were flavorful and satisfying, the shrimp were large and succulent, and the eggs over easy were cooked perfectly, adding richness to each bite. The combination of cheese, vegetables, and chipotle hollandaise brought everything together with bold flavor without overwhelming the dish. Beyond the food, the restaurant is clean, spacious, and welcoming. It works equally well for a family brunch, a relaxed meal with friends, or even catching a game. The music also added a great touch to the atmosphere.

It's street parking only, so can be challenging depending on when you come. I stopped in during the week, as I walked from the nearby Padres stadium. It wasn't very busy when I came in around 11:30, but after I ordered it really picked up. They do have a counter where you order the food, and also a bar that you can sit at that appears to have a pretty good selection of alcohol. There are a few tables to sit at. After I place my order I decided to sit at the table with the Ronald McDonald statue, because why not? I asked the very nice server about the menu, and she let me know what was popular and answered my questions. I decided to go with the muffaletta as it was on focaccia bread, which I really love. The sandwich was huge, and I definitely needed someone to share it with. They do cut it in half, so it is actually perfect for sharing or taking the other half home. It is filled with several different types of Italian Meats, including salami, sopressata, mortadella, some cheese and arugula and onions, and a sauce they use. I've never had a muffaletta before, so I can't speak to how authentic this is, but I can tell you it was a very good sandwich. I loved all of the flavors and the way they came together, and the fact that it was on focaccia bread just made it all the more perfect. Overall this is a very cute place to grab breakfast or lunch, I believe they are only open until 3:00 p.m.. The decor is very cute, with several different statues, disco ball, and a music area , and I think kids would love it as well as adults. I also enjoyed the food, and would like to try some of the other things on their menu as well. I could see myself going back if I'm in the area.
