    OB Surf Cafe is a cool spot to pick up a coffee, tea, breakfast items, and smoothies, either to go or to enjoy the plentiful outside seating that is available. I like the urban park-like setting. I had a black iced tea and it was great. It came with just the right amount of ice and the black tea had a rich tea flavor. The service was super friendly and up beat. The coffee shop is a trailer, just so you know, not that there is anything wrong with that. It is easy to spot given that it is on the corner of Cable and Voltaire.

    Toffee Nut Cold Brew

    Staying for the weekend in OB and took a walk. Even though there are many shops to choose from we stopped at this outdoor cafe. We loved the decor and decided to give this place a try. It's now our second day in a row coming here for a delightful breakfast and delicious coffee drinks. I tried the toffee nut cold brew and my husband got the Matcha Latte The drinks were great! We also shared a breakfast sandwich. The sandwich came on an everything bagel with egg, bacon and cheese and a sauce that was just perfect and delicious with tots on the side. The customer service is wonderful. We were greeted with a delightful smile and serviced promptly..

    I loved it! The food was so delicious and flavorful! The outside was decorated cute just bring a sweater because it's all outside. The service was amazing they were both extremely nice and answered all my questions! 10/10 recommend!!

    Had the pleasure of having breakfast here this morning with my husband and doggy. We were so full from our order but we it was so delicious. The staff were so friendly and cleaned our table before we sat down. It was honestly such a relaxing morning. We took our drinks to the beach and enjoyed the rest of our morning. I bought a dog hat there and loved it! I'll definitely be back next time we come back to SD.

    Love love love! Classically OB food truck cafe with delicious food and friendly owners. I only just recently found this spot and I'm definitely adding it to my breakfast rotation when in OB. I had a large takeout order which was ready surprisingly quickly. They also happily accommodated a couple special requests which is always appreciated. I personally ordered the Croissant Breakfast Sandwich and it was seriously one of the best I've had in San Diego. You can just tell everything is just made with love. They even have a small dog menu which earns them extra bonus points!! There's a small seating area out front and I found street parking easily. Really enjoyed the vibes and will return. Fair prices too.

    Breakfast burrito

    Solid breakfast burrito. They had bacon, chicken, beef and chorizo options. Great flavor and sauce with tots on the side. Lots of seating outside!

    Chicken egg burrito

    My fiancé and I stopped by this café for the first time and were blown away. We tried the chicken egg burrito, breakfast burrito, iced tornado coffee with oat milk, and the toffee nut cold brew and every single item was a 10/10. The burritos were flavorful, perfectly wrapped, and super satisfying not greasy or heavy like you find at some spots. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and thoughtfully put together. The iced tornado coffee with oat milk was SO smooth and not overly sweet, just the right balance. And the toffee nut cold brew was rich, nutty, and refreshing. Both drinks were unique and delicious. Highly recommend this place for a tasty breakfast or coffee stop. We'll definitely be back!

    Sitting on the corner at 4896 Voltaire St, I'm super surprised this place doesn't have more reviews. I came here on a Saturday morning and was one of only a handful of people here. There is plenty and I mean plenty of seating for people to come and hang out. There's no covering and no heaters so if the weather acts up, you're out of luck. It feels like a one person or two person operation so drinks and food could be a bit slow but the menu is so carefully thought of and complex that it's worth the wait. Can't speak of the food because I didn't order any but I got two drinks: 1. Toffee Nut Cold Brew 2. Tornado The toffee nut was surprisingly the better than I thought. But it took a while for me to like it. It was a slow burn for me. I'm not a toffee person but it was interesting enough for me to go and try it. The cream sits on top and so you're going to need to give it a good mix. I think it taste better the more the cream infuses with the coffee. So if you sip your coffee slow, you'll start to really enjoy it after 10 or so minutes. The tornado which has espresso, caramel, vanilla and hazelnut, chocolate and milk was the better of the two in my opinion. It could be because it was a chilly morning and this drink was hot. It was rich but not too sweet. The hazelnut which I'm again not a big fan of, was the perfect equalizer here with all the other flavors. I got this drink with alternative milk. There's also a pup friendly menu if you want to order something for your dog. They have an IG and a website if you want to follow them as well. Not sure if they have wifi available. Probably not if I had to guess. But there's a bar across the street and maybe they have wifi strong enough for you to connect. I wouldn't call this a place to do work but a solid spot to stop by before heading to the dog beach or to have a quick date.

    You know how some places have yummy breakfast, but mediocre coffee, well this place is not it. Food and coffee are delicious--you won't have to compromise either. Plenty of outdoor seating in the front and round back, which is totally family dog-friendly. Prices are reasonable especially given the friendly and attentive customer service we experienced. We ordered the breakfast burrito, chorizo burrito, croissant sandwich, and açaí bowl. To drink we ordered the house coffee, which I take black and was so smooth, my partner had the honey flat and loved it so much she ordered another, and my sister ordered the toffee nut cold brew. Everything was yummy!!!

    Staying at an Airbnb around the corner and found this little gem through yelp. And boy I'm glad we did! The staff are just lovely especially the woman running it (i didn't catch her name). We ordered the iced salted caramel raf and the iced tornado. Both were amazing. I would go so far as to say the salted caramel latte was one of the best I've had ever. I know that's a bold statement and trust me i love my coffee! It's the perfect amount of sweet without tasting artificial. For food we got the friend chicken egg burrito and the avocado bagel with an added egg. Both were DELICIOUS! We scarfed our food down. It's an outside food truck and there are plenty of tables and chairs. Such a cute little spot for some yummy food and coffee!! It's a food truck and it's made from scratch so don't expect the food and coffee to be lightning fast. Patience is key! It's worth it. We will be back next time we are in OB and every time after that!

    Fried chicken and egg burrito + side of spicy aioli

    The fried chicken egg and burrito was 10/10, it was SO GOOOD and flavorful and tender. Also ordered a side of spicy aioli and it was scrumptious. The service was lovely too. Will definitely be coming back

    The food here is absolutely delicious--personal favorites include the avocado bagel and the lite burrito. Their coffee is excellent as well; I highly recommend the honey flat. They also offer a dog menu, which looks like a fun treat for when I eventually get a puppy!

Both the burger and fries were delicious, and the server was very friendly, though it took them a minute to notice that I was there. The truck appears clean and well-lit, and they have menus both on the truck and on a stand off to the side to make it easy to see the options. My only negative is that the takeout containers are just open cardboard sort of bowls with no lid, and for a place with no seating where people are meant to take their food with them, this makes the food difficult and messy to transport. Regular takeout containers would be much more helpful. I will also say that $19 is a lot for a takeout burger (with tax and tip) however good that burger was. Definitely a splurge for me.

I ordered the Westside Burger because I was craving onion rings and was pleasantly surprised that the side of curly fries (or chips) came with it! Burger was cooked to perfection, the cheese melted nice with a good pull, I had a plethora of pickles with extra on the side and the onion rings were just right (thinly sliced, nice crispy batter). Another plus was my brioche toasted on both sides. The customer service was amazing, the guys were kind and efficient. Also, they played good music while I waited for my food, so another plus for that! 12/10 would highly recommend ‍

Devilicious is a San Diego-based food truck and a long-time participant in the twice-yearly Great American Foodie Fest in Las Vegas. I must've tried them last time because I found a picture of the duck confit grilled cheese. Whether I was slacking on reviews/photo uploads that weekend or I intentionally avoided doing the review, that sandwich clearly wasn't memorable. But I tried them again because of the relative lack of out-of-town newcomers, and I wasn't disappointed this time. My choice was the Cali Pork Belly Burrito ($11, at least for this event), their version of the San Diego local favorite California burrito. It's a burrito with french fries inside, and the first one I ever tried was fantastic. This rendition is an even larger departure from its Mexican inspirations, with the salsa verde and perhaps the crema being the only Mexican flavors discernible. However, it was still a filling treat because of the delicious, not-too-chewy pork belly that's cut into large chunks. The potato were pretty good too. My only issue was that one half of my burrito had zero meat when I got to the bottom; fortunately, I still had the other half still to eat. The Cali burrito seems to be a newer menu item, and I hope it stays on. And I hope that Devilicious keeps coming back so that I can work my way through the rest of their menu, including their popular lobster grilled cheese.

Its $9 for the real life Delivious food truck version of the Cubano sandwich...this was pretty darn good, but also pretty darn small! Its on sliced bread, not a long roll. I was still feeling hungry afterwards, but I didn't feel like paying another $9, nor $4 for fries...the motto is "Food is so good its bad"...the food is good, but the portion/price ratio is very bad. But to be honest, its probably enough of food for a sorority girl, a child, or a midget, but not for a grown 6ft-2inch 190lb male. As with all food trucks: No free water, no place to sit, no bathroom, nowhere to wash your hands, etc...it also doesn't help that I know of a little place in Clairemont that serves a bigger Cubano sandwich and with fries or a salad for only $5.95.
