Checked out this location for a Saturday brunch that did not disappoint. It was a packed house with an efficient staff and seating for parties of all sizes. Light, airy and full of colors. We ordered the French toast to split, also try the French sticks if you don't want the toast. The menu has something for every flavor. My friend had The G.O.A.T. and I had the Papas Locas. Both were good portions so come with an appetite. read more

Such a cute spot for a girls brunch! Service was great, estimated wait was an hour but we got in within 20 minutes for a group of 8 on a Sunday. Everyone really enjoyed their meals; great portions, great variety on the menu. Two of our girls got the Lucky Duck and didn't enjoy it, the mimosa flavors were not strong, as 3 different mimosas were ordered and all tasted very similarly and light. The Ube Matcha was a hit though! Overall, the vibes here were so fun! We would absolutely come here again the next time we're in San Diego. read more

Madi - Ube Matcha - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Cute restaurant for brunch. Food was good but nothing special. Tried the corned beef hash, papas locas, waffle churro sticks, ube matcha, and brown sugar cinnamon latte. The ube matcha was sweet but couldn't really taste the matcha. The brown sugar cinnamon latte had very strong coffee with little to no brown sugar or cinnamon flavor. read more

Our server was wonderful. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so we were able to bring the dogs. We came for breakfast and for me personally, I wasn't dazzled by the menu options, but that's not to say others won't be. It truly is personal preference so I say, give this place a try for yourself. I think it was tricky because I'm a pescatarian and there were a lot of meat items. I ordered the surfer burrito with soyrizo. It was good. I would have preferred it come with sour cream rather than chipotle. We also ordered the waffle churros. Those were good too but they don't give you enough dipping sauce. read more

Had a work brunch at Madi in Pacific Beach today, and it was a hit with all six of us. It wasn't busy when we arrived, though I've heard it gets packed on weekends. Parking was straightforward with a small lot and plenty of paid street spots nearby. Dakotah took great care of us. She handled our group's quirky requests with total composure, checked in at all the right times, and even sent a couple of coworkers off with to-go refills. The food was outstanding. One of my coworkers ordered the Poke Bowl Surf Shack, and it looked as good as it tasted -- bright, fresh ingredients piled around a scoop of rice and a side of spicy mayo. Another went for the Surfer Breakfast Burrito, which came with black beans and a choice of salsas. I had the Oklahoma Onion Smash Burger with bacon, served with crispy fries and a cold Mexican Coke. Everything at the table landed well. Coffee was excellent, too. They also add a 5% hospitality fee to the bill, which seems to be a growing trend in San Diego. Overall, a great spot for brunch with friendly service, good vibes, and food that delivers. I'd happily come back. read more

I came here for a friend 30th birthday celebration and it's did not disappoint. The menu had a ton of fun options, and I ended up getting a cute iced coffee that came in the most adorable little glass. I got a classic breakfast and it was absolutely scrumptious. The whole restaurant was such a good atmosphere and the decor was really really cute. I actually ended up coming back a few weeks later to bring some friends and show them the place! Our server was extremely kind and took care of our large party very well. They made my friends birthday extra special by putting candles in one of their desserts, and it was a huge success! read more

The inside was nice, clean and bright. We made reservations I we got seated right away. The waitress we had was quick to get our order in. The waffle churro sticks was really good.

First time at this location and it was very spacious, clean and bright. The service was good, the waitress was very approachable and kind. The food was good. The shareable waffle churro sticks were tasty, just a bit too crunchy for liking. Be sure to get here early or make reservations because it is a long wait. Thank you Madi for your hospitality, will definitely be back if we are in the neighborhood. read more

I made a reservation for a weekend brunch, and we were seated right away. We had a large group of 8+, and they were great with handling all our orders. Food: -Waffle Churro sticks $16 (order comes w 4 sticks): so yum!! The blackberry sauce wasn't that great though because I wasn't a fan of the jalapeño. I would get this again. -blackberry & goat cheese pancakes $16: this was better than the lemon blueberry pancakes. I like that they served maple syrup on the side. I'd ask for butter on the side next time too. -lemon blueberry pancakes $16: tbh i can make it at home. I wouldn't get this again. -build your own bowls $17.50: this is the way to go! Get what you want. This prob could have been 2 meals. -the basic $17: also kinda having it your own way. Typical eggs and bacon/sausage. -chipotle chicken melt $18: good while it's hot. Then it's kinda dry. 20% Gratuity was included in our large party. Indoor/outdoor seating available No wifi Apple Pay/Credit cards accepted. Bathroom available Cute vibes but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. read more

Big fan of the food. Not a big fan of the drink I got (it had ube in it along with something else) but everything was finished! You get to keep the rubber duck the drink came along with haha. Server was always checking up on us and took my group's picture. Parking may be tricky cause the parking lot can be full. The atmosphere is great! You'll enjoy the sunlight if you go during the day! read more

Came here with a group of friends for Sunday brunch. We had a reservation but were still seated about 10 minutes late, despite there seeming to be plenty of open seating in the back where we were eventually placed. That said, our server was friendly and attentive once we were seated. We shared two dishes: the blackberry goat cheese pancakes and the chilaquiles (subbed chicken for carnitas). The pancakes were decent-- I really enjoyed the blackberry component, but I didn't love the savory goat cheese element mixed into the pancakes. It tasted almost exactly like the berry goat cheese log from Trader Joe's. This might be more of a personal preference issue than a knock on execution, as someone who enjoys goat cheese would probably like this dish more. The chilaquiles were pretty average. They were a bit heavy on the black beans, and I wish there had been more avocado. Chilaquiles are usually my go-to savory brunch order, and unfortunately this version fell a bit short compared to others I've had. The iced latte was also a bit subpar. Overall, an okay brunch experience, but nothing that really stood out or would make this a must-return spot for me. read more

Happy to see Madi in PB and a good use for the old Rubio's spot. Came on a Saturday early so parking was not an issue and there were plenty of tables. I've been to their other location and I like the feel and ambience of this one better. Brighter and more cozy. And easier to find parking is a plus. This time I had the blackberry and goat cheese pancakes. They were good but probably will order somewhere different next time. My husband had the shashuka and it looked great. Eggs perfectly poached and carnitas looked tender and moist. The sauce had a slight spicy kick which was nice but unexpected. The burger was good and so were the fries. The pineapple cold brew was ok...tasted like pineapple mixed with coffee and slightly tart. The coconut flavor was mild. It smelled really good. I appreciated that it didn't taste artificially flavored. Service was friendly. read more

The food was slightly pricy for what it was. Overall service was nice and friendly. In the area there are better options for this price range. Food was fresh but not super flavorful. For 2 people was an easy $70+ meal. I feel as if it's decent and gets the job done but there is better options. read more

Oh my gosh one of the BEST brunch spots I've ever been to. Every time I go I want to order the entire menu, because everything looks outstanding. Last time I went I got the breakfast burrito and it was amazing. I also got a hot latte and again, just superb. The ambiance and aesthetic of the place is stunning. It's homey and cozy and includes a patio outside. One of my favorite spots ever. I always take visitors here for brunch when they're in town! read more

The food at Madi is great and the service is wonderful. I came in for brunch with a group and my friends dishes all came out but mine did not. After about 10/15min the server came back and realized I hadn't gotten mine and it came out super quick and the manager comp'd my entree. It was totally unnecessary and I understand things happen, but that was a very generous thing to do. Everyone loved their brunch and all of our coffees/matchas were fantastic. I will be back and I definitely recommend. Fan favorite was the breakfast burrito, but I loved the white bean shakshuka. read more

Food was ok, but the waitress did several shady things to our bill. First, she charged us for a dish that after going back over the receipt, we didn't order. I didn't catch this one initially as after she took my card, she then added 2 more dishes to the check that weren't originally on there. Thankfully the manager fixed these after I called later in the day to dispute these charges, but this experience has left me frustrated. I would not go back. read more

There's a large parking lot in front, so parking was easy on a Sunday afternoon. We had a reservation but ended up being seated about 15 minutes late - the staff was very apologetic though, which I appreciated. I ordered the iced salted toffee latte, but the salted toffee flavor was very subtle. By the end, I could barely taste it at all. That said, our waiter was extremely kind and very accommodating of dietary restrictions, which really stood out. We got the chilaquiles and subbed carnitas for chicken - I actually really enjoyed this dish. The two poached eggs were cooked perfectly. My only complaint was that there was barely any avocado on top; I would've loved a bit more. Flavor-wise though, it was solid. We also tried the blackberry goat cheese pancakes, and unfortunately this was a miss for me. The goat cheese flavor was pretty strong, and since I'd never had it in pancakes before, it felt a bit experimental. If you prefer sweeter pancakes, I'd skip this one. Food came out quickly and the restaurant was decked out for Christmas, which was cute. Overall, it was fine for a one-time experience - nothing really blew me away food- or drink-wise, but the staff energy was great. Also, if you want to embarrass a friend on their birthday, bring them here. This was the most enthusiastic Happy Birthday singing I've ever witnessed - the entire restaurant joined in. read more

My friends and I are from out of town and were excited to check out one of San Diego's amazing brunch spots. Madi's was a great spot! I loved their chilaquiles in particular, which had the perfect ratio of crunchy tortilla chips to egg to black bean to sauce... it was perfection. Their lemon blueberry pancakes were good, but I feel like they were too small! Haha... well, they're probably the right size portion-wise, but you know how you're expecting a massive stack of big pancakes? Yeah, these were just normal sized. The kind you would make at home... all good though. Still a good spot! read more

Madi is an aesthetically pleasing restaurant in PB that was on our list to check out. We came in with a party of 5 on a Monday morning and had no trouble getting seated, although we did have reservations. They were obviously short staffed. The staff were friendly and our waitress was super nice. We ordered 2 basic breakfasts and a papa's locos with a stack of 3 pancakes. The food took a long time to come out but we were patient. When the food did come out it was cold and they were missing 2/3 pancakes. We kindly informed the waitress and she was kind enough to take care of it for us. What I didn't like, aside from long wait and cold food, was that they allow dogs inside the restaurant. My son is extremely allergic to dogs and the dog who was with its family was shaking constantly, jumping on patrons and the poor waitress, barking and allowed to walk around on a long leash. Madi has a nice big patio they should have been seated at. I probably won't be back but glad I tried it at least once. read more

Madi - Love dogs but they should be on the patio. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been curious to try this place out and finally got the chance today. It was ok. Not bad, but not super good. Good and friendly service but seemed to be short staffed. Food came out pretty cold. Also there was a family sitting near by us inside the restaurant with a big dog. It's a pet peeve of mine when restaurants let people have dogs inside when a patio is available for them. Especially when it's not well trained and barking and jumping on other customers. I love dogs, just not inside restaurants. read more

I went here with a group of 10 girls for a Bachelorette Party brunch and it was truly everything. Our table was ready for us when we arrived - we did pre-book a reservation. The server was super friendly and immediately noticed we were there for a bachelorette party and congratulated the bride, making her feel extremely special. We ordered a pitcher of mimosas, and a few of us got lattes - the Brown Sugar Latte was incredible. And the food was exactly what we needed to fuel us up for a long, fun day. A few of the girls ordered the breakfast burrito and said it was one of the best ones they've ever had! I definitely recommend Madi for any fun brunch occasions and will definitely be coming back next time we're in San Diego! read more

So glad we found this place! Great ambiance good food and the Pineapple Cold Brew coffee was yummy and unique!

Amazing food! Quiet ambience especially in the left side closest to the 15 freeway, great for studying and work. White bean shakshuka was so flavorful and filling. Normally comes with carnitas but they will substitute soyrizo instead if you want them to! Egg was poached perfectly and I kept getting more sides of pita bread it was so good. read more

Madi - White Bean Shakshuka substitute soyrizo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

First time here after seeing some pretty good reviews. We were seated very quickly even without a reservation, which was nice. Our waitress was great and very attentive. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. It was my first time trying it (I'm usually an Eggs Benedict foodie, but I didn't see it on the menu. Maybe I missed it). The biscuits and gravy were just OK in my opinion, but I did really like the potatoes and bacon. My fiancé ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs and also liked the potatoes. However, the steak itself wasn't crispy at all and was honestly a bit mushy, which was disappointing. That said, the waffle churros were delicious and definitely the highlight of the meal and I liked my coffee, you can actually taste the Ube and the matcha wasn't overpowering! read more

Been here many times for lunch/brunch. Great Oklahoma Onion burger, love the build your own bowls, and good coffee as well. If it's busy service can be spotty. It's a go to spot for us. Be sure to make a reservation especially on weekends. Otherwise wait times can be long for a walk in. read more

I was pleasantly surprised that parking was easy. The lot is paid parking, although I think there is parking validation. I was in a rush to arrive so I did not check. I absolutely loved the aesthetic and design of this restaurant and plan to come back in the future. My favorite appetizer was the churro waffles. The entrees were generous in the amount of meat in the shadhuka and chicken fried steak. We also had a pitcher of Mimosa--recommend if you plan to split with another person. We got about 2 heavy pours each between two people. You could easily split between 5 people if you do regular servings. There is a waitlist, but we were able to get in pretty quickly (20 minute wait) and were served right away. Clean, good food and service. Highly recommend checking out read more
