- mimosa flight (strawberry, peach, passion fruit, and pineapple) - white mocha latte - aloha latte - street tacos (shrimp) - birria Benedict First time here, drove from LA to try this spot. The restaurant was very cute and adorable. Like the name of the restaurant it was a total vibe in here! From the restaurant to the service itself! Honestly my favorite dish here was the Benedict. It was my first time trying birria Benedict over salmon and I must say it exceeded my expectations! Everything else was very good. My experience here was very pleasant and quiet since we came by during close to closing! Sorry!! 10/10 would comeback! read more

Pretty disappointed with this spot. When first walking in, it seemed promising - it's super cute & trendy inside, and we were seated right away which was great. We ordered a couple of coffees which tasted like nothing special. I tried the Déjà vu, but it was as if no syrup was added - I had to ask for some on the side. Our food was alright. I got the benni which was more on the basic/bland side, and my boyfriend got the birria Benedict, which was actually not bad. Our waitress pretty much didn't tend to us at all throughout - we had to ask other staff for pretty much everything which they were super helpful with. The most nastiest thing was that the women's restroom had NO soap whatsoever. Not only is that disgusting for customers & hygiene concerns with staff, but also is against code. The bathroom itself was a let down too - looked super unprofessional and one stall out of the two was out of order. Wouldn't recommend this spot & won't be back, but if you plan to come, I'd recommend doing so on a day where you don't have too much going on. read more

This was definitely a trendy and aesthetic brunch spot, but I felt like I was paying more for the atmosphere as opposed to good food. Starting with the positive, the interior was vibrant and I loved the shades of green on the wall. For the food, I ordered the smoked salmon benedict, which tasted pretty standard but came with pretty small portions, especially for the price. The pistachio latte was also disappointing, it tasted too artificial and syrupy to the point where I couldn't taste the espresso. The wait was around 40 minutes, so I would definitely recommend making a reservation during peak hours. The host at the front was very nice and gave us waters while we waited outside! read more

I have not been to this spot since it first opened and love that I remembered this spot when trying to find a good place for breakfast with my mom. During the week this spot really isn't super busy so it is easy to walk in and get a table. I love how bright and colorful it is inside. My mom went with the chilaquiles and I got the papacito bowl which has vegan chorizo and a vegan creama but I got it with real eggs because I am not vegan but the bowl itself sounded really good and it was a good amount of food I ended up taking some home to have for breakfast the next day. Every time I have gone it has been during the week so parking has been very easy, mostly paid street parking but what isn't in San Diego these days. read more

My friend invited me here for lunch and I had never tried this place before. She indicate that she enjoyed her time dining here and that she wanted me to also try it. Upon arrival, my friend was not there yet, a hostess greeted me and offered to seat me. I texted my friend to let her know that I was seated. The place is visually appealing. There are nice green plants and calming design elements throughout the dining room. Our server came to introduce herself and she was customer service oriented. We ordered: 2 Chicken Sandos, 1 Latte, and 1 Matcha Latte. Everything was DELICIOUS!! Our experience was awesome! I will definitely come back and bring my family. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while now. It was just ok. The restaurant is cute. But nothing really wowed me. Service was ok. Our waitress was a low talker (iykyk.. lol) so I couldn't understand her when I asked a few questions. I had the mimosa flight. I sent one of the flavors back because it did not taste good at all. My sandwich was just pretty good. I had the chicken sandwich. Nothing really stood out here. It was just ok to me. read more

Very cute spot! interior and location is so cute. service could be improved. our reservation was 930 we didn't put orders in until 1009 and that was after i flagged the waitress down. Food was also okay, not bad but not the delectable brunch i was looking for. husband got the AM asada- it was fine. steak needed seasoning. i got the bacon benny- it wa better once i stopped eating the english muffin and just the egg and bacon it lacked sauce. they also brought out my sons food immediately which was great but that was the only thing that came fast so then he was ready to go when we had r even put in our order. drinks were the standout both the cucumber martini and lattes read more

I've come here multiple times now, and it's become one of our go-to breakfast spots. Making reservations is always super easy, which I really appreciate. I always get the steak and eggs--they're so delicious and the steak is always juicy. Their coffees are all amazing too, and the Irish coffee is especially yummy. I also love that this spot is kid-friendly, has good music, and isn't overly loud, so it's still comfortable for families or a nice breakfast out. The staff is always very attentive and welcoming. My only small downside is parking can be a little tricky, but that's pretty expected for North Park. Overall, definitely one of our favorite breakfast spots! read more

Ok, I shouldn't have fallen for the Tik Tok trap when I saw their eggs benni burro online. The burrito consisted of straight thick slices of potatoes, soggy spinach, and raw egg. I've never had a watery burrito, so this is a first! Crepe was just average. read more

My first time here was a year ago. I gave it another try recently and it's still 3 stars for me, maybe even 2.5 stars really. Food is overpriced but the atmosphere and aesthetics are great. The bacon was overdone. The chimichurri steak sandwich had a nice flavor but the meat was very chewy. On the menu it's listed as coming on ciabatta bread but it came on sourdough instead. I love sourdough so I didn't mind but would've rather ciabatta for this particular sandwich. The passionfruit margarita and michelada were good but nothing special. The winner of our meal was surprisingly the organic greens salad which we added shrimp to. It was delicious but came with only 6 shrimp (so $1 each) but the shrimp were big and cooked well. Customer service lacked. It took a long time for Sasha to bring us water and she forgot to bring us a sharing plate that she stated she would. We had to ask for water refills in the beginning. She never once checked on us, only to ask if we wanted more alcohol. When we paid the bill, she just took the payment machine, stared down at it, and walked away in silence (not even a fake 'thanks, have a nice day') or anything. I no longer really tip based on the % of the total bill anymore because I've realized customer service is the same no matter how much the bill is. I think she was unhappy with her tip but sorry, I'm not tipping well for below average service and food. read more

My friends and I visited the Vibe for brunch and had a delicious meal! My friend ordered a gluten free avocado toast and the waitress was so kind to double her portion (complimentary) since GF bread (accommodation) is normally so small! The potatoes were delicious. The restaurant is quite loud. I'd say the quality of the food is average. read more

Such a cute place! They've got the aesthetic down perfectly!! The cups were so cute, the plates, even the way they plated their food was beautiful. It didn't take long to seat us at all, and they were very patient even though I had a party of at least 5 people. I got the main breakfast burrito, but I replaced the bacon for steak because I normally don't really like bacon. In this case, I should've just left it the way it was since the burrito was kind of plain to me and maybe the bacon would've brought out the flavoring in a better way. The poached egg was delicious though. My friend got the chimichurri steak sandwich which looked SO good, the salmon Benedict, and the chilaquiles. All of it was good food, the burrito and the aloha latte was the only let down. Pretty plain & basic. Such a cute experience!! read more

Been to this location in the past before it changed to The Vibe and for this visit, my friend and I definitely came during a good day! We got seated right away and our server took care of us shortly after. My only complaint was that it gets stuffy inside when you're seated away from the door and the open windows, but maybe (and obviously) the heat contributed to that lol. That's no one fault for that either. As for our orders we got: - Birria Benedict (go do yourself a favor and get this) - Chilaquiles - Arnold Palmer - Orange juice (can't go wrong with that for a quick lil brunch meeting) Will I be back? Yes! I'm looking forward to trying their other brunch options and hopefully drinks next time. For those who care about this part: parking is mainly street (since it's in a busy location), but if you don't mind walking, there's usually spots around the residential areas. Please remember to be respectful of your surroundings if you do decide to leave your car in those areas for some time. read more

The Vibe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Ive been on a mission to find some of ther best breakfast/ brunch spot in San Diego so of course I found the vibe close by. There were a couple people in the restaurant for brunch since it was almost noon. I looked over the menu and decided on the berry French toast with a side of bacon and 2 medium eggs. The bacon was some of the best bacon I've ever had. Super crispy and just good. They make their brioche in house and man was the French toast on point. Soft not eggy and yum. The vibe was great. I sat by the long table on the wall that had the pull down gate open. There was shade from the tree but it was still nice and sunny. The breeze coming from outside made breakfast super enjoyable. Service was great my waitress was super nice and attentive. I'd definitely come back and try other items. read more

Street parking only. People drive a little fast, be careful when parking. They have a small happy hour menu M-F from 8am-10am with $12 items. Tacos are ONLY on Tuesdays. One waitress was serving the entire restaurant so service was slow. Never had a water refill and by the time we were checked on we just asked for boxes so we could leave. I was hoping they would bring the check with the boxes or shortly after but no, we had to wait another 5-10 minutes for someone else to see us sitting there with boxes waiting for the check. Tried: Chilaquiles $12 + $5 to add Birria - this was decent Aloha coffee - good Pistachio cold brew - good Breakfast sandwich $12 - awful. This was the worst breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The smoked turkey was super dry, like crispy flakes. There was no seasoning on the eggs. It really needed an aioli of some kind. The potatoes were under cooked and slightly crunchy. I would have mentioned my dislike of the sandwich/asked for mayo/salt/pepper from the server however we were never checked on after receiving our food. It was only after my friend was almost done with theirs that I was able to flag someone to get a box to just take it home. Overall I would say stop by for coffee but not food. read more

Had Saturday morning brunch at The Vibe & we loved how spacious it felt inside with all the windows & doors open. It blended the inside & outside really well so much so I was wearing my shades indoors haha Service was great, our waiter was really attentive & patient given we needed some extra time to order. There's a good selection of drinks, cocktails, mocktails, and coffee. I didn't get a picture but I ordered the Hotel California cocktail and it was so good I ordered another. It was sweet but not too overwhelming that you couldn't taste the tequila. We ordered the Salmon Toast, Veggie Benedict, and A.M asada. All the food came out in a timely manner & was delicious. My only issue is that I felt like the A.M. asada was such a small portion of steak for what it was priced at but it's a trendy brunch spot in San Diego so the high prices were expected. Parking can be a little tough over the weekends in this area but overall a good spot for a brunch date. read more

I can confidently confirm that The Vibe was in fact a vibe. Make a reservation on OpenTable prior. You will have a seamless experience. Parking was the only challenge but if you come here early then you're good. Uber is an option as well. No docking stars for parking please... My hubby and I were here yesterday for the day after his birthday brunch!!! He loved his birria benedict. So flavorful so good! Generous portion FYI I ordered the veggie omelette with pico de gallo on the side. The mushrooms, spinach, cheese and everything was the perfect combination. The herb potatoes were cooked to perfection. I almost cried. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS! Also you get your veggies in at brunch so I'm here for it. Would I ever steer you in the wrong direction? Negative$$ Our waiter checked in on us frequently. He was so kind and helpful. He recommended the pistachio espresso martini so I got that. Loved the subtle taste of pistachio and how festive this place was. It was giving Christmas time is here fa la la la la la la la la. The total was $87 with tip. Sunday Funday~ I would highly recommend The Vibe. Good Vibes Only okkurt! read more

The service is great. All the workers are super kind and attentive The food was okay but forgettable. I got the baby bacon Benedict and the good, was the contrast in texture. The crunchiness of the bacon paired well with the softness of the English muffin and the tender eggs (eggs weren't properly poached but not too bad. What didn't fit in was the spinach. The flavor of the spinach was nonexistent but the texture was overwhelming and resembles wet paper and clashes with the eggs to be mushy not enjoyable. The flavor profile promises but does not deliver. The food wasn't bad it just leaves an underwhelming feeling. My biggest complaint is The truffle hollandaise sauce due to its lack of depth and would've actually been better without it. Maybe labeling it just as a sauce would've left a better impression because it was not a hollandaise sauce. The herb potatoes aren't anything special unfortunately. Their crispiness is either mushy or like a fragile cracker. And only serves as a carb on this plate. Doesn't add any flavor to it. But still a fun thing to mindlessly munch on. All in all the food was adequate and the menu leaves curiosity to try their other items. But this specific item I wouldn't get again. read more

I am man. Man get steak and eggs. Yum. But seriously, it amuses me how the market in San Diego props up these overpriced brunch spots. Locals would rather pay $30 to eat somewhere with a neon "Live, laugh, love" sign written in cursive than pay $10 at a greasy spoon with a waitress named Marg. Doesn't bother me. I'd prefer it. Although the server here was nice, I'll admit. read more

The Vibe - AM Asada: steak, eggs, and potatoes. Wouldn't be a Normal Heights hipster brunch joint without putting crema and pickled onions on it. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Saw this place on social media and decided to give it a shot for a friend's birthday. Parking wasn't a huge issue, but we arrived pretty early on a Sunday. The inside was pretty big; during the course of our meal, it got quite busy but never full capacity. Wow it's very aesthetically pleasing inside. Tasteful furniture and plates/cutlery. It was a nice, sunny day outside, and it made the restaurant look brighter. I ordered the benni burro (basically eggs benedict in a burrito) and my friend ordered the birria benedict and the mimosa flight (can't remember the names of the juices used unfortunately). I thought the food was pretty good/average for brunch. I thought it was pretty expensive but it's the decor tax. For your birthday, you get birthday pancakes for dessert, which I thought was a nice touch! Service was fine. Overall, average food but The Vibe was definitely a vibe. Cute aesthetics. Recommend if you want a cute place to enjoy brunch. read more

Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambiance: 4 We stopped by The Vibe on a Friday morning, and it was perfect... no wait at all and not busy yet, which made the whole experience super relaxing. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted right away. The space is bright, clean, and really aesthetic, definitely the kind of place that puts you in a good mood. We ordered three different Benedicts, the Smoked Salmon, the Bacon, and the Birria and all of them were extremely tasty. Each one had great flavors and was cooked perfectly. I also got the Mexican mocha latte, which was delicious and definitely worth ordering again. Overall, such a great brunch spot with amazing food and a welcoming atmosphere. Would absolutely come back! read more

Not a place I would pick for myself but a friend wanted to go. Staff was very friendly.

The pistachio espresso martini was beautiful and excellent - $17 I was a little surprised that the only sugar substitute they have to offer is sweet & low read more

The Vibe at Normal Height! We stumbled on this cute and vibing place for breakfast. They did not disappoint. Our server was on point and catered to our needs, 5 stars for sure.

The farmers with egg white's upon request , with bacon and potatoes was delicious . This was more than enough to share. The veggie omelette was delicious and the ingredients were fresh and savory!! This places serves breakfast and brunch. They also have an array of Martinis. Great place overall, definitely will come back! read more

Cute place with nice offerings in both brunch dishes and drinks. I got a refreshing Strawberry Chiller (non alcoholic drink with coconut milk and strawberry and mint). I highly recommend it - it was soooo refreshing! I also ordered the Koloa Ube French Toast. It was yummy but overpriced for the portion you get (which is 1 French toast). The place inside was well decorated and super cute for a brunch date with gals. The place has to work on their fly problem though. There were soooooo many flies in the restaurant, it was kinda gross. We kept trying to swat them away. One landed (& died) in my water glass. I've seen some places have little tower fans for people's tables, I think that would work well for this place. read more

We came here on a Saturday morning in September and sat at the bar top. We usually like sitting bar top because service seems faster. Unfortunately this time around they forgot to put in our food after 40 minutes. They brought us out pancakes (without asking) to hold us over while the food was being prepared. I understood why, but nothing we ordered indicated we'd want pancakes, so the pancakes just sat. The bloody Mary mix was not good to the point where I asked for a different drink. However the steak and eggs, chilaquiles were delicious!! The ambiance was pretty busy considering it was pretty early. The people working were nice, but that place needs a deep cleaning. The menus smelled, and the floors were sticky. read more

My friend and I came to The Vibe last Sunday. And for the most part the food was delicious. The place is pretty cute, and is decorated nicely. The food was good. The potatoes could have used some more salt, but the eggs were done perfectly. My friend and I did sit for a while before someone greeted us. When we got our food, we probably were checked on once until we had to pay our check. Before we left, we made a visit to the restroom, and here is why I am giving this place 3 stars. There are 2 stalls, and one was clogged and not flushing. The larger stall had their toilet paper on the railing. There were key marks on the mirror (which is not their fault) and the paper towel dispenser was open but the roll for the new roll of towels was on top. It was a stark contrast to the ambience that was in the main dining room. I don't know, but if you're going to charge minimum $20 for a plate, and decorate your spot to the nines, I think the bathroom should reflect the establishment. read more

THE VIBE @ NORTH PARK Parking is available for street parking online, it is free for two hours. Walking into this place, we got seated immediately for our reservation of 17 people. THERE WERE FLIES EVERYWHERE. In your hair, in your food, EVERYWHERE swarming. There was no AC, just some small little fans on a table or two. The service was great, our waiter was kind and they were very attentive with filling up water and helping others. I noticed all their cups were the exact ones I found at HomeGoods the other day, they are very nice cups! I decided to order a Nutella Crepe, instead of bananas, I asked to replace with Strawberries, my friend also order their other crepe, the Dulce De Leche. They fully messed up both our orders, in her crepe had nutella (she's fully allergic) and for my nutella crepe, there was dulce de leche syrup inside of it, with bananas. My friend got hers fixed, I didn't mind my bananas, it was fine but preferred what I ordered which were the strawberries. I also tried other dishes like their Salmon Toast, it was good but on the blander side. The chilaquiles were decent, but the chips didn't feel fresh, but the toppings were good. Overall, this is a spot that I really like for the ambiance, it was definitely decorated very well and had a great aesthetic, but the flies and the AC was definitely a miss, and quality of food. read more

The Vibe is a breakfast, brunch, and cocktail spot in Normal Heights that is a must try for all my brunch lovers out there - They definitely live up to their name and bring ALL the VIBES! I love me a good mimosa flight with creative juices. We tried their crispy chicken sandwich that had the perfect crunch from the panko and Parmesan coating, just the right amount of sweetness from the brioche bun, and a little kick from the chipotle aioli. I'm also a sucker for a good hollandaise sauce so I got a side of that for my fries and it totally hit the spot; it was delicious!

The name of the restaurant speaks for itself. It definitely has an aesthetic vibe to it. I loved that they accepted reservations but it honestly wasn't needed which was surprising since it was a Saturday. Ultimately the food looked delicious and photographed well but the taste was okay. I set myself up for disappointment by ordering the chilaquiles when I know that I have a go to spot for them. The french toast was dry. The mimosa flight was delicious! It came with juices such as peach, orange juice, strawberry, mango, and more that I can't remember right now. I do agree with everyone's reviews about the flies. They were definitely annoying and the little fans they had didn't help much. I've been to other outdoor brunch spots and they didn't have a fly problem so I'm not sure what's going on here. read more

I decided to give this place another chance because I was able to reserve a table, but instant regret. My experience here somehow always gets worse. Our table was ready by our reservation time and we had waters when we sat down which was good, but that's all that was good. No one attended us almost the whole time. We waited for about 20 minutes until we had to flagged down someone to take our order. He took our order and told us the food would just be a 20 minutes wait, which we were fine with since they communicated that. We got our drinks like 10 minutes after. They weren't even that good. There was hair in my water as well. We finished our drinks before even getting our food. We waited 45 minutes and seeing our server just at the bar and just looking around, not really attending anyone. We tried to flag him down 3 times. Finally, we got his attention and asked for our food. He went to check and instantly our food came out. However, when we got our food, it looked as though it had sat out for a long time and my mom's steak was too dry and hard to chew. My baby's food included toast and it was rock hard and cold. My husband's truffle fries were all soggy and his burger was dry. The ube french toast was hard as well. The whole experience and overpriced food was terrible. It was so loud, I could barely hear the person next to me. I will never go here ever again. Third time is not a charm. read more
