    Fried Chicken sando
    Madeline T.

    Coffee and drinks were great! We were not a fan of the fried chicken menu items ( ordered the chicken waffle and chicken sando) , both did not have much flavors go them. The chicken waffle doesnt come with syrup or any seasoning to it and the sando is just the lettuce, fried chicken, buttered buns, and a quarter of a pickle (with your choice of sides) service was nice, but beware they dont take apple pay. But the views and location is stunning!

    Nice ocean view from this little cafe. You order from the counter and they bring your food to your table. Food was good but nothing special. Dog friendly patio. There's a couple of high tables inside but the majority of the seating is outside.

    Amazing view with delicious food

    Great view and very yummy food would definitely come back and order the same food. Also had a great variety of drinks.

    Chicken BLAT Wrap

    Stopped here before an appointment I had in the plaza for a quick bit. The staff was freely and the view is great. The patio is perfect to eat and get some work done. I had the Chicken BLAT wrap. The chicken tasted a little funny to me. It's thick cut deli cut meat. I also grabbed my favor coconut water. Great for a quick meal.

    WILD MUSHROOM Omelet

    I really love coming to the Del Mar Plaza (San Diego, CA). Amazing views and awesome ocean breeze. I was looking for something quick and easy in the area (in between appointments) and ended up at Pacifica Breeze Cafe. I visited in June 2021 and tried their Wild Mushroom Omelet (wild mushrooms, spinach, brie, and herb hollandaise). Food was pretty good but the location and views were amazing! Prices are really reasonable (order at counter, pick a table, put your number down, and food will be brought out to you when ready). ENJOY!!

    Caesar with Sugar - spiced Salmon and House Made Yam Chips
    Kristie L.

    I can't believe I've never dined here before. I never even noticed it on my way to Pacifica Del Mar but a friend wanted to get lunch here a couple weekends ago. SO HAPPY she picked this spot and brought it to my attention. I love the casual feeling and open space environment this spot has right under Pacifica Del Mar. The view is stunning and relaxing. The restaurant is kind of fast casual. You order at a register but then get a number and your food is brought to you. My friend & I shared the yam chips. Get these! Don't even think twice. They were so good, I might not share next time. The Caesar salad with salmon was exactly what I was craving. Something light and refreshing but still super fulfilling and satisfying. My plate was almost licked clean. No bad bites! Service was fast and friendly and the downstairs lot is free for 2 hours. The perfect amount of time to lunch and even shop a little!

    My sister had a gift card and treated Mom and me here for breakfast. What a treat it was! We ordered from a friendly, helpful young man at the counter. Then we sat at our table and enjoyed the beautiful view. Mom and I got the Two Egg Breakfast with Bacon and Potatoes, English Muffin for her, Sourdough Toast for me. Sis got a Breakfast Burrito with Fruit. Nice cold beverages completed our meals. Everything was delicious and lovely.

    Very friendly service but the food was just pretty basic. Not much love or creativity put into it. The outdoor ambiance is nice. Fresh orange juice 10/10 Parfait plate 9/10 Breakfast sandwich 2/10 Breakfast burrito 4/10 The roasted potatoes seriously need seasoning. They use such standard ingredients here and don't even taste like they put salt and pepper on their food. It'd be nice if they stepped up their flavor game but I doubt they really care to.

    Avocado toast

    Waited 25 minutes for this and paid 9$. I never order avocado and toast now I know why. Better idea go to market deli in the same shopping center

    Coffee, mimosa and a great view!

    This is where the locals go! It is a very dog friendly enviroment. The staff is extremely helpful. You order and the register, pick up your drinks from the side window and the food is delivered to your table. The views are breathtaking and the food is good. Great little place!

The menu is a little bit different than I remember, but still focuses on fresh and healthy. The girl working at the front used to also work at the PB Location and she's very friendly and knowledgeable. She also gave us samples of the berry smoothie and the green juice to try. I went with the golden milk latte to drink, and it was fabulous. I did have them add a shot of espresso to it because when I was ordering a latte, I definitely was looking for caffeine. It's lovely with turmeric, cinnamon, oat milk, MCT oil and black pepper. I also ordered the Hot Chick salad. It came out looking gorgeous. The salad tasted really good, the chicken was seasoned nicely, and I liked the different textures with the rice, the quinoa and the roasted corn. The dressing was super tasty too. When I got towards the end of my salad, my last few pieces of avocado were bad. It wasn't a dealbreaker for my experience, but I would've definitely preferred that they would've left those pieces out. Also, the little toasted cracker things tasted like cardboard, dry and flavorless. I probably should've tried scooping up some of the salad with them, but I left them on the plate. Overall, I would definitely return to this location. You cannot beat them if you are looking for something fast, casual, and healthy. Definitely not on the cheap though, my salad and latte were $34 before tip, but I don't mind paying for good quality food that is fresh and healthy.

There's free parking in the back and street parking in the front. This place is known for their breakfast but their other items are just as good. We recently found out the Chicken Fettuccine Al Pesto is the owners Italian mother's recipe. My youngest son enjoys getting this dish. My favorite breakfast dishes are the chicken and waffle, country fried steak and french toasts. They perfectly bread the chicken and the homemade country gravy it adds that extra goodness to the meal. I also love their fresh-pressed juices, and I usually request a plantation iced tea -- iced tea mixed with pineapple juice. So refreshing! The decor is adorable too. It has a cozy farmhouse café vibe that makes the whole place feel warm and inviting. And the bread pudding from Sunny Side is definitely worth mentioning. I usually don't like bread pudding, but this is far from ordinary. It's made with croissants and chocolate, drizzled with chocolate sauce, dusted with powdered sugar, served with raspberries, and strawberries. You have to add the ice cream...cause why not? Absolutely indulgent and perfect for sharing. Totally worth those extra calories! Overall, we'll definitely keep dining here. Great service, delicious food, and so many good family memories every time we visit!

My family was vacationing in Encinitas and stumbled upon Claire's on Cedros on our first morning while searching for an early breakfast spot. Pancakes are usually not something I get excited about - I tend to think most restaurants use the same premade mixes from the same suppliers, resulting in pancakes that are ultimately forgettable. That changed the moment I tried a bite of the pancakes my daughter ordered. I was genuinely surprised to discover what may be some of the best pancakes I've ever had. Since then, Claire's has become a breakfast tradition whenever we're in the area. Buttermilk Pancakes (OG) - 5/5. These pancakes completely changed my expectations of what a pancake can be. What makes Claire's buttermilk pancakes stand out is their depth of flavor. They have a rich, buttery character and a subtle fermented tang that give them a distinctive personality. Add a little extra butter and real maple syrup, and the flavor reaches another level. The texture is equally impressive. Unlike many restaurant pancakes that are either soggy or overly dense, these strike a near-perfect balance. They hold their shape well while remaining tender and fluffy, with just the right amount of air pockets. They're substantial without being heavy and soft without falling apart. The finishing touch is a thin ring of golden-brown crispy edges that adds both texture and extra flavor to every bite. Seasonal Lemon Ricotta Pancakes - 4.5/5. Our server recommended the seasonal lemon ricotta pancakes, and I'm glad I gave them a try. They are every bit as well-executed as the original buttermilk pancakes, with a bright citrus flavor and a richer, creamier profile from the ricotta. While I still prefer the original buttermilk version for its subtle fermented tang, these are excellent in their own right and well worth ordering if they're available. Eggs Benedict with Crispy Parmesan Risotto & Honey-Cured Bacon - 4.5/5. Once I find a favorite dish, I have a habit of ordering it repeatedly - which was becoming a problem thanks to those buttermilk pancakes. On a return visit, I made a point of trying something different and was glad I did. The standout pairing here is the crispy hash browns. This is one of those dishes where the individual components really shine when eaten together. Combining the arugula, poached egg, hollandaise sauce, and crispy hash browns creates a wonderfully balanced bite. The hash browns contribute crunch, the egg and hollandaise provide rich creaminess, and the arugula adds freshness and brightness that keeps everything from feeling too heavy. It's a thoughtfully composed dish that delivers both flavor and texture. Drinks - okay. The juices, teas, and coffee were perfectly fine - nothing remarkable, but nothing to complain about either. They do their job and complement the food well. Here are my final Thoughts. I'm so glad we discovered Claire's on Cedros. It has given me a new benchmark for what great pancakes should taste like. Even as someone who never considered pancakes a favorite breakfast item, I find myself thinking about them long after the meal is over. If we're back in Encinitas or Solana Beach, Claire's will be one of our first stops. The pancakes alone are worth the visit.

But today I needed a little extra je ne sais quoi because my morning was annoying, so I decided to splurge on lunch and not just a pastry here. I asked Steve, the (très beau et gentille!) co-owner what the quiche of the day was. There were two: one with jambon (ham) and one with épinards et fromage de chèvre (spinach and goat cheese). When I hesitated, he told me that the spinach one was amazing. Even though it's $20 for a quiche plate, I decided to go for it. I thought I was going to get a sad little quiche slice for that amount and might regret it. But OMG, it was more than worth it! Already they have a lovely patio on this pretty street in this fancy design district. But it was also a HUGE and exceptionally savory rectangular slice, alongside a DELECTEABLE petite salade. I asked Steve what mustard they use in the vinaigrette, and he said plain old Dijon - but the proportions and the seasoning were EXCELLENT. So it was salad perfection, not heavily dressed at all, just delightful. The patio was full on a Friday with ladies who lunch - but did that include me, as a solo diner, since I am a lady who had lunch? I'm not sure, but you can feel comfortable here no matter what. And now I know Madeleine Cafe is much too good to just come for coffee and for ordering in French from Steve or his co-owner Emmanuel. I don't want to spend that much for lunch every day - but I'll be back!
