Service was timely and friendly. There were a variety of food options. The posole was delicious and so was the chipotle chicken melt!

Food was great and our server Caroline was great! We had the corned beef hash and the burrito. Delish!

Our new favorite brunch place. The service was amazing. From the hostess to the waitress to the food runners. All so great. The food was different from a typical brunch spot too! In all the best ways this place exceeded our expectations. Very kid friendly and nice at the same time. That can happen...Madi proved it!! read more

We came from OC for the weekend and made reservations on OpenTable. Our table was ready upon arrival so we didn't have to wait at all. The parking lot directly connected to Madi is paid parking, but there was street parking around the corner. Super cute brunch spot with good food! Service was quick and friendly. Our food arrived fairly quick as well and it was all delicious. I would def come back next time i am in the area. Shakshuka- very tomato forward but the carnitas was an excellent protein addition. Greek fries- fries held up well and were nice and crispy throughout. The sauce they used was a true tzatziki. Chicken was also nice and juicy Waffle churro fries- I personally liked them without the sauces. Nothing too fancy about these but still good. Pulled pork sandwich- so tender and juicy and the perfect amount of bbq sauce. read more

The only reason this isn't a 1-star review is because of one server who stepped in and tried to make the situation as okay as possible. My mom and sister-in-law were visiting, so we went out for brunch. I ordered a build-your-own bowl with potatoes, quinoa, avocado, and added feta cheese. When my food came, I mixed everything together and took a bite it tasted off immediately. I realized goat cheese was also an option on the menu, so I asked my mom to try it. We both agreed it was absolutely goat cheese. For context, I'm vegetarian and eat feta all the time, I know the difference. I told our server, and she took my plate to the kitchen and said they'd remake it. A few minutes later, she came back... with the same mixed plate and told me the kitchen said it was feta. They tried to serve me the same dish that had already been taken to the back. That alone was enough to turn me off completely. I refused the plate and explained again that it wasn't feta. After going back and forth, they said they'd remake it, but at that point I didn't even want the food anymore. The situation felt uncomfortable and honestly just gross. It didn't end there another staff member came over and continued insisting it was feta, saying "I'm not saying you're wrong, but it was feta," which felt dismissive and unnecessary. Then oddly asked if we wanted coffee when we already had drinks and walked away again. Meanwhile, our original server never came back to check on us or apologize. The only redeeming part of this experience was another server who came over, acknowledged that it wasn't handled well, apologized sincerely, and removed the item from our bill. Overall, it was an uncomfortable and poorly handled situation, and I won't be returning. read more

Came here on a Sunday at around 8:30am and was sat right away. We ordered the salted toffee iced coffee + brown sugar & cinnamon iced coffee. We enjoyed the brown sugar iced coffee more, the salted toffee had a more subtle taste & just tasted like iced coffee. The food was good, we enjoyed the flavors of the shakshuka (has a tiny kick to it but not spicy overall) and the orange flavor of the pancakes. Service was decent though it took awhile to get our check after we finished our food. It's a cute restaurant but they have a huge fly problem in the summer if you're sitting outside. Not their fault but we did ask to move inside & they just gave us a little fan for the table instead bc the host said it was the same inside. It lasted a few minutes but the battery died. They got us a second one & that one died too... read more

Was in town with some friends and we stumbled across Madi for our Sunday brunch!I We loved the retro, cute vibe of the restaurant and service was great despite how busy they were on Sunday. what I tried: - Waffle churro sticks - these were so yummy and fun and perfect for sharing! Comes with a delicious jalepeno-blackberry sauce and a maple cream cheese - The GOAT breakfast sandwich which comes with ham, egg, Swiss and goat cheese, apricot habanero jam. A great sweet and savory combo - Surfer breakfast burrito - includes scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, avocado, chipotle cream. Very hearty and satisfying - Guava elderflower mimosa - super refreshing! they offer pitchers as well Parking: paid parking in the lot or street parking, was definitely tough to find on a Sunday and we had to circle around a bit read more

Parking is paid & quite expensive so I'd reccomend street parking, tons nearby. Also paid but a fraction of the price. Inside is so cute, loved all the decor & the overall vibe. Service was good & friendly. We made reservations for Saturday morning the night before with no issue. I got the vanilla bean latte which was good but I liked my friends ube matcha more. I got the Greek fries which were decent & we had the ricotta raspberry pancakes which were also good. Also want to try the waffle churro sticks. Overall great brunch spot! read more

Madi is such a cute brunch spot with the sweetest vibes! It's located in a plaza with a small shared parking lot, so parking can get a little busy, but having a reservation made everything super easy (there were 8 of us!). The service was great, the atmosphere was adorable, and everything felt really welcoming. I tried the ube matcha, which was creamy and delicious! Lots of yummy stuff on the menu for everyone to choose from -- sweet to savory! Overall it was a great place for brunch. Definitely a cute spot to check out when you're in San Diego! read more

Cute little restaurant by the beach. Love how they did up the place and they have plenty of seating. Staff were friendly enough, though I do wish they were a little more attentive to refills on coffee and water. Food was good but not great. I ordered the chilaquiles. It's worth checking out but nothing to write home about. read more

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

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

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

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

Terrible service. Servers ignored us when we walked in, then we had to wait for over 25 minutes to have our order taken. Less than half of the tables were full & they seemed to have a full staff, I have no idea what they were doing. Considering it's a paid parking lot outside, the wait was unacceptable. We ended up leaving. Coffee tasted good though. read more

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

Met girlfriends for brunch here, it was recommended and my first time. It was pouring rain this day and was completely packed! Super cute decor, tight quarters which makes in quaint.

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 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

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
