This place deserves great rating! Awesome view just by the shore and food is delicious. Some of the servers are very nice & kind, some can get on your nerves- just ignore them and enjoy the view :)

Caroline’s is on the oceanside campus of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography (part of UCSD), and has the best breakfast views in the La Jolla neighborhood of San Diego. Read more

My favorite all time weekend breakfast hangout, watch surfers, steps go down to beach , or explore the trails , al fresco seating, power breakfast is favorite, go for the house coffee while you wait.

Order by one person at a time, maybe this way not took so much longer

Robert Starkey

THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Long wait , horrible customer service, misleading advertising to download app to beat standing in line only yielded "order to go" after waiting my turn in line after all.

Marc Schneeberger

Brunch is decent but the wait is totally not worth it! Although there is nothing better near by.....

We asked if they had real maple syrup and they said yes. Not only was it fake, but it was the cheapest fake syrup .

Reid Carr

This place is beachfront, ocean-view gold.

Takis A

Nice place but the servers wanted to close up the place at 2:10 so we couldn't see the view . The place closes at 3 pm normally. WTF

Sofie Gogic

Crappy buffet food that is overpriced and oversalted. Just go to the beach .
