Mikey was super kind and great experience overall. Food looked amazing. Tasted delicious.

MIKEY IS THE GOAT!!! love her and she was so sweet to me and my friends. amazing vibes

We grabbed an early breakfast as this casual spot. Yes, they have a kids menu so we were sold. They don't take reservations so it can get a lengthy wait. Service is fast but a very relaxed vibe...it is only a block from the beach after all. The coffee, particularly the cold brew, was FANTASTIC though a bit pricey at $7. The kids menu featured pancake for $5, fruit for $4.50, and eggs for $3, among others, in a very easy mix and match sort of way. I tried the Mission Chilaquiles for $17. A great CaliMex meal that had the right amount of ingredients, perfectly cooked eggs with the right amount of spice. I also ordered a piece of Rosemary Bread (though really toast) for $4.5 on the side and it had an excellent flavor. Highly recommended! read more

Food 6/10 Drinks 7/10 Ambiance 7/10 Service 7/10 Honestly, slightly disappointed in this place. I was recommended this restaurant by many friends even what was on and they even said today was not a good day. We got the breakfast and the rice was crunchy. The tofu did not seem cooked and there was not a lot of gravy on the food as well. I got the Matcha, which was decent yet not nothing to write home about the orange juice was good though. The service was average nothing that was spectacular and just seemed like she was very overwhelmed and busy. read more

Came here for my birthday since this was an old favorite place from going to SDSU and living at the beach - the nostalgia of it all. Seated quickly and found street parking so we were immediately ecstatic and then little things became noticeable that this place wasn't the same....the menu was a little different, the table wobbled and was old and kind of sticky, the fake flowers didn't have the same vibe. Food we ordered the Loco Moco and a Biscuits and Gravy. The biscuits were a bit hard for me, I guess I like a squishy biscuit. We ate it all and had a nice breakfast with great service. After leaving looked it up and it has since changed ownership but it was good food, good portions and many diners were happily enjoying. read more

My mom and I tried to go to this restaurant last week but couldn't find parking so we left. We were able to find parking this time around. I got the ABC omelette and my mom got the lemon curd pancakes. I wish the bacon in the omelette was cooked into the eggs instead of just slapped in between the cheesy omelette but it did have a good amount of bacon. The omelette overall needed seasoning so I added salt and pepper. The potatoes were unevenly cooked with some being really crispy/almost burnt and the rest were soft. The bread needed some butter but was good with the rosemary taste. My mom liked her pancakes. Service was good. I'd give this place another chance. read more

Parking is very limited, we found one spot by the Gone Banana store, we paid $25 for more hours to spend on the beach. We came here on Saturday around 10:30am, the wait time was about 10-15 mins. Overall the food is good, except the chips & salsa - the chips were not authentic tortillas chips and they were stale. For the side, you can only pick salad or chips & salsa. They don't have fries or other side options. The price is reasonable considering it's close to the beach. Breakfast entrees are about $15-24. read more

Wait staff is very kind and straight to the point. Went on Mother's day and was only a 10 minute wait. it is a smaller, more cozy spot that seemed to have lots of locals, nice ambiance. Our waiter said they are known for their french toast and their rosemary potatoes. We ordered a variety of dishes (cinnamon french toast, mission breakfast, chilaquiles, abc and chorizo omelet, and steak & eggs) , and while the cinnamon french toast was indeed delicious, everything else was lacking any flavor. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy or finish our meal and did not feel like we needed to take it to go. The reviews are very different from our experience so maybe we just came on an off day. Maybe mother's day weekend affected the quality we received. Hope to try it again if we are in town soon! read more

I was excited to come here after looking at the great reviews and pictures of the food. Not sure I was prepared for the wonderful service we got coming here. You never felt like you were waiting for your water to get filled or waiting to see a member of the waitstaff. The place can get busy, but I didn't feel rushed and the food came in a very timely manner. The tables indoors were plentiful, but you didn't feel crammed. The food was really solid and I would definitely return here for brunch! read more

First thing, my 8 year old ordered steak and eggs for breakfast, which was a shock. I think the word she used was delicious, but it was hard to decipher as she was shoveling food in. I ordered the cinnamon French toast, because why not try the best French toast around?! 3 big slices of French toast arrived and they were good, but I couldn't finish the last 2 bites of the third. My youngest devoured her pancakes, so you know those are kid friendly, and my wife nearly finished off her croissant breakfast sandwhich. What I am saying without saying was there was a lot of food served per plate. Definitely a place to check out, friendly, efficient service and good food. read more

Busy, friendly, the Mission is a breakfast spot where the staff is dialed in and the energy is good. Which is why this one hurts. I'm loyal to moist, fluffy well seasoned scrambled eggs with a silky finish. What landed on my plate here? Dry, loaf-like eggs. My friend's omelet didn't fare better. The eggs were dry, overcooked. The twist: everything else was excellent. The rosemary potatoes were both moist and crisp, the thick-cut rosemary toast (very Texas toast like) was good, and the cinnamon toast was decadent. The housemade chicken breakfast sausage was delicious. Coffee and expresso drinks were not as strong as I like, but still solid. I wanted to love The Mission. On paper, this beach breakfast stop has the look and feel that I love; extra generous plates of food arrive in the arms of extra friendly local servers, and good music plays in the background. The food comes out quickly, which I appreciate. It's just that when a breakfast spot fumbles the eggs, it's hard to overlook. Fix this detail, and The Mission would be hard to beat. read more

Such a good find for breakfast! The food was delicious and had unique tastes that you don't get from just any breakfast place. Our server was so sweet and recommended the cinnamon french toast and mission rosemary, which we ended up ordering, and it did not disappoint! The french toast wasn't too sweet, it was the perfect amount, and so delicious too. The rosemary bread was the highlight for me, with the whole dish being a perfect breakfast! They also have a coffee stand inside with a variety of different drinks & some pastries too. Came on a Sunday during brunch time and got very lucky with parking and no wait! There seems to be a good amount of seating for both small and large parties. There's also art on the wall for sale which is a cute little touch! Will be coming back to try more on the menu! read more

I was very excited to eat at The Mission since the line is always long and due to its location in the heart of Mission Beach, but I left extremely disappointed with a headache and starving.. Let me start by saying, I am very grateful for The Mission offering vegan options. However, the chilaquiles were so soggy I could not even eat them. I asked my boyfriend to try them just to see if maybe I was being too critical, but he agreed and actually described them as tortilla mush. I added a side of tofu, hoping it would add to the chilaquiles in place of the egg, but even that was disappointing. The tofu was teriyaki flavored with smothered with grilled mushrooms and onions. Very good with the right dish, but a terrible combination with soggy tortilla chips on a bed of black beans. I took the tofu home but left nearly the entire plate of chilaquiles untouched. Additionally, the restaurant itself was so loud that my ears hurt. I did notice The Mission also offers a vegan bowl and tamale plate. So perhaps those would be a better option for my fellow vegans! read more

We went there for breakfast. Great place with great food. And wonderful service by Stella. 5 thumbs up! read more

Great service but the food was only mediocre. We heard it had the best breakfast in town so we had to try the out. Hostess was polite and handled customers well. Our server took our order quickly- Lemon pancakes and side of eggs for me and French toast and sausage for my partner. We also ordered iced Mexican mochas with oat milk. The pancakes were thick , the lemon was tangy but the combo wasn't great. My eggs arrived cold and had to be remade. The French toast was average. Our Mexican Mochas were made with Hershey's syrup ( not Mexican chocolate) and we think they made them with regular milk instead of oat since we both had digestive issues later. Would not recommend read more

Everything was amazing. From our friendly server Tessa and our fantastic breakfast. Tessa was super helpful and suggested we share because the plates were huge. She was right. We went back 3x for breakfast out of 6 days. We had the mission and a side of pancake and also an avocado toast. Coffee and lattes were both delicious. We definitely recommend this breakfast spot. read more

We've been coming to The Mission for over 20 years, and it's one of those places that's just always so so good! Mikey took great care of us. She was attentive, quick, and kind. My kids both got the French toast, which they order every time, and they loved it as usual. The portions are great too. I tried the Moco Loco for the first time, and it was really good. My husband ordered the Papas Loco which is a family fav. We live near where Isabel's Cantina used to be, so whenever I'm missing that spot, The Mission is where we go. The Mission is a true local favorite that has been consistently excellent for years. You really cannot go wrong here read more

Nice neighborhood vibe. Good service. I got the avocado toast with over medium eggs. The toast had some orange and beet slices on it as well as some nuts and goat cheese. Simply delicious! read more

Had a good experience coming to this establishment for breakfast. The location of the spot is on the corner of the street so you can't miss it at all. You have to find either parking on the street or paid parking lot. It wasn't so busy, just had to wait for a table to be cleared and clean. Our server, Omid was amazing because he had cleared the table for us and got out ordered in fairly quickly while he kept seating other parties and attending the other tables that he was already serving. Got the mission rosemary - 8/10, pancakes with chocolate chips - 8/10 and French toast - 10/10 read more

This place never lets me down! I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived around noon on Sunday and only had to wait five minutes before getting seated. I will say parking is definitely a challenge in this area so we decided to Uber from Pacific Beach. I tried the mushroom frittata, which was recommended by our server, it was good and not as heavy as some of the other options. My boyfriend tried the loco moco which he really liked and we shared the French toast which was also really good. Service was fast and friendly and restrooms were clean. read more

We had such a delicious breakfast at Mission Cafe in Mission Bay! I got the ABC omelette -- that's avocado, bacon, and cheese. Packed with bacon! The rosemary potatoes were crispy and tasted healthy and delicious. I also loved the bread they use. It's nice and thick, and the same kind they use for their French toast. Speaking of their French toast... wow! So flavorful, covered in cinnamon with an amazing blueberry compote, and the syrup had such a good flavor too. My fav dish out of the two! Martin ordered the chorizo omelette and devoured the whole thing! There was nothing left on his plate lol! Evan took great care of us! Super friendly and attentive! Service was impeccable. We had everything we needed and left so happy with full bellies. It was very busy, as expected from an awesome restaurant. Music was fun and I loved the beautiful artwork on display and on sale. Definitely coming back the next time we're in Mission Bay! read more

Food and service was amazing. Had breakfast burrito and Johnny suggested the French Toast and it was BOMB! Great service from Johnny

This was a breakfast and brunch spot that had an Asian Latin fusion fare going sort of. They had a number of traditional breakfast choices with a few twists along with sandwiches and other "brunchy items." It did take some time for our order to be taken, but besides that, the service was fine. I had the steak and eggs ($22). It was certified angus beef with horseradish cream, tomatoes, scallions, rosemary potatoes, grilled rosemary bread, and scrambled eggs. The steak was all chopped up, so it was a little overcooked (waiter did not ask what temperature it to be cooked at), but it worked out well combined with everything else. The eggs were not seasoned but combined with everything else, especially the horseradish cream made up for it. The rosemary potatoes and bread were good too. It really needed to be all eaten together to work. It was very filling. I also tried the turkey club, which was huge. There were thick turkey slices with just enough mayo. The rosemary bread was even better here as a sandwich. Will I go back? Yes. read more

We got the loco moco and chilaquiles with a couple coffees. Had requested the eggs on the loco moco to be over hard, but they came out super runny. & there was barely a thin layer of rice on the bottom of the plate. For something that comes with gravy, my expectation is a generous serving of rice to soak up the saucy goodness, but was disappointed. Eggs on the chilaquiles were scrambled but it came out in a chunky ball that was dry. Coffees were okay. Overall not worth the wait in that long line.. read more

My siblings and I are visiting the area for a small trip and found this brunch place through tik tok. Walking in it seemed very busy but thankfully they were able to seat us right away. The restaurant was full and loud due to the amount of people in there but it was also nicely decorated and you did not feel super packed in. The staff was super nice and welcoming especially our waitress, Stella. She was super helpful and recommended the chai latte which was so delicious. The food was amazing. Our favorite was the lemon curd pancakes they were insanely delicious. read more

Tes is the reason we keep coming back to The Mission! Her friendly personality, positive attitude, and exceptional work ethic make every visit enjoyable. She always greets us with a smile, stays attentive even when the restaurant is busy, and genuinely cares that every guest has a great experience. Great food brings people in, but outstanding service keeps them coming back, and Tes consistently delivers both. She goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and taken care of. We always look forward to seeing her, and she is a huge part of what makes The Mission one of our favorite breakfast spots. Thank you, Tes, for your hard work and for always making our mornings better over the past 9 years! read more

This was probably the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant.
