    Nice diner with great food! Amazing view and excellent service. I will be back here again. I just ordered a simple one pancake breakfast with 2 scrambled eggs and sausage but everything was great. My friend ordered the sunny side eggs with potatoes, bacon, sourdough toast and she loved it. Huge portion too. Their coffee is good too. Toni took care of us and did a great job. Sit on the patio and enjoy the San Diego skyline!

    Saturday, 2-14-2026: Stopped here for lunch before going to the commissary at 32nd Street. It was a beautiful, sunny day but a bit breezy. Had it not been we would have opted to dine outside. There was no wait when we arrived so we were seated right away. We enjoyed the amazing views from our window. Looking around it wasn't a very big eatery but there was indoor & outdoor dining. There is also a counter out front. The interior was bright and clean but could use updating. Our server was very friendly and efficient. I had the grilled cheese on sourdough with tots while hubby wanted the tuna salad on wheat with tots. We enjoyed our yummy meals and it prepared us for a commissary trip. Never a good idea to shop for food on an empty stomach! They serve good old-fashioned comfort food. We will definitely return!

    Homemade corned beef hash with hash browns and over medium eggs. Yummy! Homemade salsa too

    Have been coming here for over 20 years now, the view is always the best, the customer service just as I've always remembered, Dahlia is a main staple. Food was delicious and just what I wanted. And the weather was fantastic. Gotta live Sunny San Diego!!

    Simple diner food with an awesome view of the Balboa golf course. Service was also great. Good to come early to get an outside seating if you want a view

    Great lunch with views over the course and downtown San Diego. We enjoyed a chicken salad and a BLT for lunch. Both were excellent. We also tried their appetizer platter that came with four sauces. Friendly service, good vintage vibes and a lively crowd of all ages!

    Food is average but there are two things that elevate this spot and make it a worthy visit even if you aren't golfing: The salsa (you have to ask for it) The view on the patio. One of THE BEST if not the best view of any spot in San Diego. Really a hidden gem for those in the know. Prices have gone way up in recent years, but it still just a solid unpretentious spot with an amazing view. Worth the visit if you want to escape the busy neighborhoods for a bit.

    The food was excellent, but the view was AMAZING!

    The food was excellent, the service quick, but the view is AMAZING! If we lived here we would be regulars.

    Friendly staff, clean bathrooms. Golf course diners have some of the best diner foods. This place is no exception. Nice view of Balboa, good spot after a round of golf.

    Alright, I was purposefully not going here making assumptions based on anything attached to something else. You know what I mean. Hotel restaurants are always a scam. I was wrong. Great diner, such a great diner! The driving rage was closed so we had time to kill and figured we might was well give it a shot. Looking over the menu it had all the classics. I went for a random choice at 6:30am and got a sandwich. I figured it had an egg which makes it breakfast. They didn't have any tater tots and asked what I wanted instead, so obviously I asked if I can have it with hash browns. Vibe is the word for this place. Good service, very unique cabin vintage feel. It's all out of place almost like the city just threw it together and they made it work. That's.. wait, yeah, that's exactly what's happening here but I'm here for it. Haha. The people running it are awesome. Will be back. Also if you read this, you read that right, I had a double at 6:30am ;)

    No complaints! This is obviously meant to be a golf restaurant and bar, but open to anyone! We stopped for brunch on a walk and had a great time. A bucket of beer and two eggs breakfast plate and it was great! The view is 100% worth the stop!

    Read a number of good reviews and decided to make our way over for brunch. The cafe is small and has an old school vibe to it. Has a number of barstools in the front with a counter and dining room with tables and booths. Also has an outside dining area for guests. Rebecca greeted us warmly and laughed when we told her that it was our first time in and no we aren't from out of town, lol! She quickly reassured us that she's heard that before and has been told their cafe is somewhat of a hidden gem. After a few minutes of looking over the menu I decided on the calamari steak with O'Brien potatoes and side of sourdough toast. Hubs went with the hamburger steak, tater tots, salad w/blue cheese dressing and sourdough toast. Both meals were brought out hot and tasted great! The calamari was thin (but not overly so) and lightly breaded, crispy and tender at the same time. Delicious! The potatoes were fried just right, crispy and had grilled onions with bell peppers throughout, yum! Hubs ate all of his food and said he'd order it again. While we were there (around 1ish) we saw most patrons were ordering late breakfast meals. I will definitely be back to try the breakfast!! Come check this place out!

    I ate here this past Sunday and have eaten here quite a bit before. It's delicious and the perfect way to end a round. Standard diner/bar food fair. Chicken strips, BLTs, French fries, tater tots, etc. Service is quick and efficient. Sit on the patio and enjoy a nice view of the last hole on the 18 course and the San Diego City skyline.

    The view!!

    We've been wanting to check out Long Play Hi-Fi for a while, and after finally finding it (which is…read morepart of the experience ).. It's got this hidden, almost speakeasy vibe. You ring the doorbell, wait patiently, and once you're inside, you realize this isn't your typical coffee shop. It's a place to slow down, enjoy the music, and savor your drink. Monique and Danica were both amazing. They're warm, welcoming, and you can really see the passion behind what they do. Danica is also the DJ, and her eclectic playlist made the whole experience even better. One of my favorite parts was just sitting there watching our drinks being made. You can see the care and craft that goes into every cup...even the Kuramoto ice is beautiful. The Matcha Americano completely changed my perception of matcha. The Kyoto cold brew pour-over was fascinating to watch and incredibly smooth. We loved it so much that we came back the very next day. This time I had the Midori, and my brother-in-law loved the Highball, especially the yuzu. No laptops. Trust the DJ. Drinks are meant to be enjoyed fresh, so take your time. If you're looking for a quick coffee run, this isn't it. But if you appreciate great coffee, good music, and people who are passionate about their craft, Long Play Hi-Fi is absolutely worth the visit.

Not greeted upon entering the business just gave me that stare with not asking if I had any questions. I dont recall his name but he was very skinny, curly hair or wavy and i believe he had braces, but not sure if he was having a bad day but something wasn't all there. I ordered 2 drinks, I forget the other but it had cinnamon on top. The drinks were just hand on the counter without saying which drinks is which, so i asked which one is which. Didn't hear me, so i kinda said again and he pointed them out not in a nice or rude way but the approach of how it was handled was not friendly. How can you have Mazapán without the Mazapán crumbles which are very iconic to the drink. I just found it super strange and did not care for it. The cinnamon based drink was good tho, which I'll give them that. Experience could have been better.

The menu featured various matcha tea drinks which seems to be all the rage right now. The same seating arrangement of the bar countertop and tables across from it was available if you wanted to hang out and chill. A sign behind the bar described the ceremonial grade matcha that was used with the region of origin and the flavors imparted to the powder. Five different matcha drinks were offered along with hot and cold coffees and lattes. The top three matcha choices were priced at $8 each. I chose the Ordinary Pleasure which was the first one. Pandan sticky rice milk and mango puree were added to the matcha and topped with a salted coconut foam. I wasn't a fan of the foam, but the matcha flavor was intense and contrasted by the fruity puree on the bottom of the cup. The baristas were very focused with measuring the exact amounts for each ingredient in the drinks they were preparing. The matcha quality seemed to be very good based on what I tasted so maybe it's why the price was $1 higher than what I have tried elsewhere.

The drink was creamy and thick. Such a refreshing summer drink! The cafe itself is super cute and quaint with a trendy, boho chic vibe. Baristas were super friendly. I would come back again!

Unfortunately, there were no signs or guidance showing where the line should be directed, which made things confusing from the beginning. By the time I reached the front, the owner (I'm assuming) a woman with glasses and long black hair spoke to me in a passive-aggressive tone and told me the line was actually on the other side. Given the setup, it wasn't obvious at all. There's a fence directly in front of the shop, and with the large crowds that day, it was even more chaotic. I tried to be understanding and moved to the correct spot, but while I was waiting for my drink, she repeated the same interaction with several other customers in the same tone. People were clearly confused, walking around the fence trying to figure things out, and without any guidance, I saw multiple customers leave frustrated. Customer service, especially from the owner, was disappointing and could definitely be improved particularly during busy events when clear communication matters most. That said, I'll give credit where it's due: the drinks were great. I'd rate my banana coffee a solid 4.5/5, it was delicious, and the heart-shaped straw was a really cute touch. If you're running a business, especially in a high-traffic setting, better organization and customer service would make a huge difference.

The place is located on one of the main strips in the community, Logan Ave, near Salud. This is the only local street in which I have seen vehicles parallel park in the median of the road without any concern from law enforcement. It is certainly an unorthodox solution to help with the parking situation as the legal curbside spaces fill up quickly. There was an outdoor kitchen setup behind the house including a wood-fired pizza oven, smoker, Santa Maria grill, and fire pit. All of the seating was al fresco either at tables in the front patio or at picnic tables in the backyard and deck. You walk up the steps and through the front door to place your order at the service counter in the main room. Some prepared foods and drinks were available as grab and go items. Pizzas and paella will be the main focus of their menu. For the soft opening, four pizzas, a vegan paella, and skirt steak tacos were the choices. I chose the last item for my meal. Arracherra skirt steak, grilled onions, and chiles were accompanied by flour tortillas and guacasalsa. The components were placed on a rectangular cutting board as a serving vessel. The steak was cooked medium rare and then sliced into pieces that could fit inside a tortilla. The two grilled chiles had a nice smoky flavor to them. The avocado based salsa added a creaminess to the meat and vegetables. For the food quality and relaxed outdoor setting, I gave a four star rating for my initial experience at Cafe Califas.
