What a cute little intimate spot to stop for breakfast! Ambiance: small cafe, lots of stuff to look at and the environment is chill. Parking: be careful of street parking but a cop came inside to warn us before ticketing us(WHAT?!!) Amazing community Food: Excellent, reasonably priced and very filling. Ordered an Omelet and French toast which were perfectly made and excellent fresh taste. Service: Andrea is so lovely. Had so much fun I will be back on my next drive to San Diego. Highly recommended!!! read more

If I lived in Pt. Loma this would be one of my regular go to spots. I would be able to leave my mug on the rack on the wall. The whole place has a wonderful vibe and the people that work there are friendly and efficient. My mother in law had the avocado toast and she liked it. I had a bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwich and it tasted good the only complaint is that parking is confusing the first time you visit, but you leave full and happy read more

Wonderful little cozy cafe near the beach. Love the ambiance of the place. Everywhere you look, it's very lovingly decorated. Came for breakfast and Andrea took wonderful care of us. She has such a great welcoming personality. Supreme Brekky - Great breakfast sandwich with all the meats. Hose the bagel for bread which was kind of on the small side and too dried out. Otherwise great. California Omelette - Fresh and fluffy. Very good. French Toast - 5 stars would order again. Even comes with sides of sausage and egg. I always welcome more eggs with my eggs =) read more

Customer service is a 5 from the moment we walked in to ordering to leaving. So polite and very welcoming, the place is small so it has limited seating with a couple tables out front. Parking is available in the back or side street right in front of the cafe. Ordered the Cliffs Breakfast Sandwhich and the Avocado Toast, both were very filling and delicious. The avocado and toast for $9.25 was a bit much for me and adding the egg and pesto for $5-6 more didn't help much either. It was very good though, but probably order something different given what you get. Uploaded the menu prices for a more up to date one. read more

The cons: I feel like the pictures were quite deceptive...even if you eat in everything was served in to-go cups or boxes, no coffee mugs and beautiful latte art like the pictures show. Even the parfait wasn't in the glass bowl as shown, it came in a plastic cup. The muffin wasn't anything special, tasted like it came from Costco and not baked fresh. The smoothie tasted like it was made with sugar syrup and not fresh fruit. I saw they made the eggs for the sandwiches by microwaving the egg in a plastic Tupperware dish, no wonder it tasted like rubber. The protein pancake was tough and dry, not fluffy at all. For microwaved food, it actually took a long time and the prices are the same as if you went to a restaurant where they serve you. The Pros: the lady in the front taking the orders was so amazing, she was super friendly, welcoming, was a boss at taking the orders, quick and efficient multitasking the whole time. And the coffee was really good, hot and not acidic, just wish it came in the glass cup with the latte art. Overall was very underwhelming and wouldn't come back. read more

I'm so glad I finally checked this spot out. First off, it's absolutely adorable inside. I loved all the Easter decor. And secondly, the staff was so friendly and lovely to be around. I'm typically not a huge breakfast person, but this breakfast burrito was FANTASTIC. Like, sooo good. Can't wait to come back and try more off the menu. read more

10/10 food is great, coffee is great, vibe is great, the people are phenomenal. If you haven't been here, you're missing out!!

The service, food and coffee was great. I had the Cliff sandwich with a croissant and it was delicious. I really appreciate the prices at this establishment. Several places are charging an arm and a leg for mediocre food these days. This place stays busy as it should with Natalia's great service! read more

3.5/5 Very cute cafe! The people working there were so sweet and helpful. Food was fine! Got a veggie omelette. Felt like it didn't have much flavor. My partner got another type of omelette and felt the same. Maybe we should try something else next time! read more

Quick stop in the morning with my family and I. Super good food everything was on point. Absolutely no issues and the guy that was working at the counter was a super nice guy and gave great recommendations. Coffee was great and the vibe was chill but very accommodating. Thank you we will be back read more

Sadly I did not enjoy what I ordered at Cliffs Cafe. I ordered a zucchini walnut muffin and a lightly sweetened vanilla oat milk latte and both items tasted horrible. The latte was overly sweet and I could barely taste the coffee in it. It tasted like it was hot vanilla milk instead of a latte and when my husband tasted it, he agreed that it didn't taste the way it should. Sadly I had to throw the drink away and bought a cappuccino that tasted a bit better. Then the muffin given to me was hot when I didn't ask for it hot. And microwaving the muffin changed the texture which made the muffin rubbery and taste bad. I only ate half of it and threw away the rest. I really think what's actually missing from Cliffs Cafe is attention to detail when making coffee and preparing foods. I hate to say it but the whole vibe here felt like I was eating food from a gas station which I'm pretty sure nobody wants. If you're in the Ocean Beach area I highly recommend skipping Cliffs Cafe and going somewhere else. read more

Went down to San Diego for a long weekend and had the pleasure of eating here twice. First night in we were tired and just wanted something quick and easy through door dash. Husband got a breakfast burrito, I got chilaquiles, and my son got French toast. It was all delicious. We decided to go back a couple days later and ate there. Everything was great again. The location is more a pop in sort of place, so don't expect a full service restaurant experience. All food is served to go but you can sit down and eat with utensils and water available to grab. Would definitely stop in again next time we're back in town! read more

Even though there are many breakfast and brunch spots to choose from in San Diego, I always circle back here because I know the food never misses. Dropped by again recently during a day trip and tried the Green Eggs and Ham on an everything bagel. Sensational. Loved every bite of it. In addition to the great food, the service is always impeccable. No matter how busy it is, and believe me this place can get pretty damn busy, they always get the food out in less than ten minutes. Cliffs is a cool place to drop by when in SD and you are looking for something good to have for breakfast. I promise that it will not disappoint. read more

The Cliffs Cafe - Green Eggs and Ham Bagel Breakfast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Love this place. Mexican mocha is delicious. Ambience is cool and unique. We'll be back for sure next time we're in the area for brunch.

This review is solely based on the breakfast burrito alone. The one word I have for it - BOMB. The café itself is so cute. Really great ambiance and very nice and cozy. They had so many coffee and smoothie options. Looking forward to grabbing a drink the next time I come back here. I ordered the breakfast burrito 2.0. This burrito was stacked. (Scrambled eggs, bacon, corn beef hash, sausage, onions, roasted potatoes, fire roasted chilies, and cheddar cheese.) Tasted super meaty and the eggs and potatoes were cooked just right. Burritos come with salsa and sour cream upon request. My only complaint is that for such a stacked burrito, they only gave one small container of salsa. I recommend requesting an additional. read more

This is one of the cutest and chillest cafes I've visited in San Diego. It's pretty tiny, no more than 20 people can fit inside. There's a handful of tables outside for sitting as well. The staff was fast and bubbly which is always a plus. The drink menu was dope. The speciality drinks and blended drinks seemed complex and you can't go wrong with any option. It all seemed super thoughtful. There's also frapples, smoothies, and your regular drips and lattes if you want something a bit more simple. Large menu for food but the food was a bit better than average in my opinion. Wouldn't run back to get food here but wouldn't be opposed. Basically.. it didn't blow my mind. We went with the: Greek Omelet Breakfast which consist of feta, spinach, bell peppers, tomatoes and oregano. Served with your choice of fruit, potatoes or hashbrowns and toast. Cliff's Delight which cosist of scrambled eggs, sun dried tomato, avocado, fresh basil, and goat cheese on pita bread. The omlete was the better of the two. The sandwich didn't smack and wasn't really filling. But it tasted super fresh and light. The menu in general has a lot of healthy options. Smooth place with good vibes, solid food, even better drinks, and perfect for a early morning coffee run. read more

We visited this location after running along the cliffs. There was a lot of options to choose from and we were there around 9 and there was limited seating. Fortunately there was enough space for 4. The menu has a lot of options and we went with omelet and acai bowl. The build your own omelette was helpful as I got to choose what I wanted and it was delicious. The acai bowl on the other hand was good but it was more watery than most acai bowls we've had. The water station has these really small cups that you can use more than once but a funny feeling as it is already wet. The decor gave the location a cafe vibe and the service was nice and helpful. Their register does seem a bit older there were some specific modifications that they could not do because the register system did not allow it. Overall we enjoyed our time. read more

A hidden gem! I love this little cafe tucked away in Ocean Beach. The food is really good, definitely one of the better omelettes I've had. The coffee is also really great, I tried the cinnamon honey latte. They have a solid menu with lots of different bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and even a breakfast burrito. The staff is very friendly and sweet which is always a plus. There's some indoor and outdoor seating and it seems like you can usually find a spot. Lots of people were getting grab&go orders too. I would definitely come back to try a bagel breakfast sandwich or open faced bagel. read more

While in Ocean Beach I visited and had some breakfast and a deliciously smooth Mexican Mocha. The cafe was cute, the food and beverages were on point. The best part had to be the staff. I'm not a small talker by any means and one of the workers gave menu recommendations, shared cool anecdotes about the city (since I was visiting) and I saw the same interaction with others that appeared to be locals. A very dope spot and I think I'll visit again for breakfast before I depart. read more

So many breakfast choices! We're visiting the area from Northern California and we chose this spot because it's cafe style. We wanted to sit, take our time and plan our day. We started with some cold brews and looked over the menu. It took me a long time to decide from all of the breakfast options. Open faced bagel sandwich? Pancakes? Veggie Scramble? At the last minute I chose Chilaquiles. It was delicious. The woman at the register was friendly, helpful and oh so patient while I tried to make up my mind. The cafe has a friendly vibe with snacks for sale and a cold case with "to go" drinks. There's limited seating, but there are some outside tables too, but of the patrons seemed to be picking up take out orders. We're definitely going back for some pancakes before leaving town. Edit: Went back for pancakes that did not disappoint. The same nice woman at the counter who remembered that I prefer to keep my receipts. If you're in the Ocean Beach area discover what it seems like the locals already know--this place is the place to go. They serve breakfast all day too. read more

Super cute little café that definitely has more than you would expect when you walk in. Looks like a little coffee shop but actually has some really good food. I got the 2 x 4 as well as an everything bagel with cream cheese and the mini pancakes. The orange juice looks like it was freshly squeezed however, I didn't watch them do it, but it was delicious. For the amount of food I got. I definitely got enough to fill myself and feel satisfied with what I paid. The hostess was so kind and sweet, overall I would definitely recommend this place opposed to other trendy spots in the area read more

Love this spot. Always for a breakfast burrito and the French toast is fantastic as well! The lovely lady at the front is always so kind and makes our day. Sometimes the breakfast burritos vary but if it's the lady in the back they are top notch. Busy on weekends so can be hard to find a spot to sit but usually a spot outside or at the window at the least! read more

Just finished our breakfast here. Andrea was extremely nice and attentive. The food was outstanding. We had the breakfast burrito, chocolate chip pancakes, the cliffs sandwich and an açaí bowl. Everything was delicious, great quality and completely finished by everyone. My kids love the pancakes. Will definitely return on our next SD trip! read more

Found this place while visiting San Diego. It's a cute small place with some dining inside and a few outside. It has a good size menu for a small dining area The service was excellent. The food was good, cooked just right; however, not so flavorful. The Greek Sandwhich is a warmed pita bread with a scrambled eggs, spinach and a little bit of feta cheese. The avocado toast was just that (toast w/avocado) which was fine but again, not so flavorful. The Honey latte was delicious as well as the strawberry smoothie. Overall, I would give it a 4.5 because the food was a bit bland. On the upside of that, you can add as much or as little salt/pepper as you like. Give this place a try if you're in the area. read more

I've heard great things about this place and was so excited to try it! We got a to-go order and my friends picked up the order, and they said the ambiance was super cute. I got the cliffs breakfast sandwich on a croissant which had sausage and bacon in the eggs with cheddar, and was pretty good! It was bigger than I thought and pretty filling. I also got the tropical blast acai bowl which was much bigger than I expected. Since I wasn't there in person, I was relying on the prices I saw from the menu's posted here on yelp, I thought the bowl was $9 but it was actually $11. Then I also got an iced matcha latte with raspberry syrup and it wasn't the best, it tasted very earthy and kinda like dirt but it was okay. Excited to try more from this place, they have a wide variety of options! read more
