This place worth the hype! It takes a lot of skills to make simple things so tasty. Eggs are perfection, corned beef is so good, you keep dreaming about it... Service is super friendly and efficient.

"Googled" Best breakfast in SanDiego and this place came up. Didn't let me down. Very good food, if you don't mind waiting in the line down the block. that shows how good it is. Get here if you can.

Best pancake syrup ever!! It's nice and hot when you get it and its very sugary sweet but very light! It's very real syrup and "straight from the source" taste! :)

Erica Arnold Nance

Everything we had was amazing! They let us split our order so we could both try the AMAZING baked omelette , delicious bacon & filling pancakes . The coffee is so good here too! Can’t go wrong.

The pancakes are some of the best I’ve had in San Diego! The portions are big and filling. The combination of their delicious omelettes and pancakes on the side is unexpected yet perfect combination.

Pecan Baked Pancakes and the traditional pancake flight (2 Pancakes of each of 3 flavor you choose) along with coffee and orange juice are the best options

Peyton Keller

The ham and cheese oven baked omelette was awesome. The chocolate pancakes with whipped cream on it was amazing. The cherry crepes were also very good!!

You don't need review to read about this restaurant , just walk in and you are going to love everything. Just be aware that it's full size plates "huge".

I would definitely come back. Best omelette I had while visiting San Diego of the 5 breakfast joints I visited. Bacon was to die for and the hash browns perfectly cooked. Come check this place out!

The house coffee is by Prime Roasted Coffee . The cup is a medium dark roast with light aromatic, light mouth and light acidity. Mostly a clean , likely washed, savory sunflower seed mid-large body.

Brenda Flores

Delicious. Worth the wait! The best: Pancakes and omelettes .

Peanut .

The service is super fast and super friendly . The portions are huge so sharing is a great idea. It is a must for all pancake lovers when in San Diego.

There was a line and there was food and both were worth it. I am still full from the reasonably priced beautiful German pancake . When can I go back?

Mediterranean omelette was delish. Coffee is a notch above the normal shiz they serve at breakfast places. Good pancakes . Got banana with pecan . Can't really go wrong. Bring your own paper.
