- NanaAugust 8, 2016Loved this place! Such a chill ambiance. Prosciutto crepe was so simple yet delicious and salmon omelette was so unique (beet cured). Get the mimosa flight, get buzzed then head over to the beach 🌊
- ShopaholicMom My.August 9, 2012Not sure what to have, sit at the bar and ask the bartender! We got some great menu suggestions. We ordered one of the shrimp cakes and the scallop omelette! So good - such a unique blend of flavors
- Flyy MahmiOctober 26, 2014Short rib skillet is better than filet mignon. Tiramisu pancakes are a MUST! Try the mimosa flight, sampler of 6. Sit outside when weather is comfy. Sat us quickly on a busy Saturday. Good service.
- Will CurranFebruary 18, 2018The monte cristo was by far the best I've ever had and it was huge. Get it with a side of prosciutto and put it on the sandwich. Also, Jason was awesome.
- Sabrina SchmalstiegJuly 5, 2017The seafood salad (with balsamic sauce) was one of the best i ajd in a restaurant.. I highly recommand it!
- Bilhan KaraorenMarch 5, 2015We were for breakfast here,and they have awesome specialities to choose from. I've tried eggs with tomato and cheese,which called menemen in Turkey.Coffee from Peru was super,Special thanks to Cihan..
- Niesha LouisOctober 19, 2013Just may have found our favorite cafe in Gaslamp. Love the decor, the friendly upbeat and hilarious staff, not to mention the mimosa flight is amazing. Try the Farmers Market Board if it's available.
- Beto BorbollaJune 27, 2022Short rib omelet and short rib crumpet are amazing. Tiramisu pancakes 👌 definitely the best place to have brunch in San Diego
- Cleo CauwenberghJune 21, 2015Great address for a weekend brunch or lunch! Creative & yummy dishes & drinks. You'll have difficulties to choose :) Try the mimosas when going for a brunch. Lively & happy atmosphere.
- Kristen FerrettiAugust 16, 2015Everything here was delicious. Tiramisu pancake and the short rib omelette were the standouts and the Bloody Mary was spicy and pretty strong.
- Filiberto Torres jrMarch 26, 2013A wonderful experience from the Mushroom flatbread, kabob trio for me and the masala chai braised short ribs for Jacque.... A great staff which made the experience memorable.... Thanks Inga...
- Christine NolanNovember 16, 2014Dirty chai is really good if you're not in the mood for alcohol (sangrias are amazing), strawberry pancakes and shrimp/corn cake are both delicious! Love the atmosphere here :)
- VickiJanuary 3, 2016Unique and fresh tasting mimosa flights. Definitely has a Moroccan vibe to it. The food was delicious. Chicken curry Benedict is a must. Will be back for more!
- AmateurConciergeAugust 16, 2016Tasty food for a reasonable price and relatively healthy options available. Even tho I was trying to work and I hated it, have to admit the live band was actually pretty talented
- Cuneyt UysalSeptember 23, 2015Great service and entertaining array of omelettes. Startling that they don't have a barista who can make a cappuccino ... But can make espresso? Doesn't compute. Only flaw
- Katie KearseyApril 7, 2013Salmon diamonds = heaven in my mouth. If you're craving dessert for breakfast (which is totally acceptable in my book), definitely go for the tiramisu pancakes. Love the outdoor patio, too.
- Kashmir HillFebruary 24, 2013Excellent coloring/toy box for kids. And great service. We had rib omelet, shrimp corn cakes, lamb sandwich and blueberry pancakes. Pancakes and corn cakes are the way to go here.
- Jennifer NunezMarch 11, 2014Best breakfast I've ever had. I got the prosciutto crepes with a side of potato pancakes. Also a delicious drink tip is a tangerine mimosa with a hint of strawberry, it's amazing!
- James DyerAugust 28, 2013Peanut butter and bananas stuffed French toast were the bomb! A great server suggested the banana bread French toast as well so we ordered both and split it, great, but the stuffed French toast won!
- Patrick Finley (@pjfinley)January 17, 2019It may take a minute to get seated, but the food is worth the wait. Try the sangria too!
- Mary SAugust 27, 2015Really great brunch. Seasonal berries used in pancakes, French toast, and bread pudding. Good prices too!
- Katie WDecember 16, 2012homemade cookies - a must., watch out - large portions especially for a London chick - but really fresh tasting food and sangria flavours are refreshingly interesting (in a good way)
- Ana CaMarch 27, 2016Salmon omelette the greatest and the ginger mimosa! And for dessert have the strawberry french toast!
- Spicy Cristo sandwich is awesome (it's made with thanksgiving style turkey). Recommend ordering the side of grilled prosciutto and slapping that bad boy inside. Delish!
- Eric ThomasAugust 11, 2014Fantastic French toast prepared with care. Friendly staff with nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend.
- MatJune 24, 2012I ate here 3 days in a row. Had the shrimp cakes, the chicken curry cakes and the lamb sandwich. Out of the three, the lamb was the all time stand out. Get the lamb.
- Alyssa LulieJuly 21, 2019The Tiramisu Pancakes are perfection. They also travel well and are good the next day too!
- Jenya SJune 19, 2016Salmon omelette! Stuffed french toast is pretty awesome too or frankly anything. Portions are huge, service's great, food's amazing. Would go back anytime.
- Asha SJanuary 13, 2013+eggplant sandwich, + filet mignon omelet. Get a half stack of pancakes (banana walnut) for some side sweet. Beware of noise level (gotta be in the mood for loud Sunday morning club music)
- Kristi HellmerDecember 29, 2013Delicious mushroom flatbread! Flaky and decadent. And the beer flight is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Fun decor... I'd recommend this place!
- Tricia TanguyJune 29, 2014Salmon diamonds are now called the salmon omelette! Absolutely delicious. And the tiramisu pancakes are DELISH!
- Sarah PasquesiNovember 22, 2014The prosciutto crepes were amazing! And the juice of the day was a delicious fresh squeezed apple and carrot juice. Yum!
- Chad HennermanMarch 24, 2016Food was great. We ordered multiple small plates, thinking they would be small, but were surprised at how ample they were. Good value for a touristy part of the city.
- Mariana TorresJanuary 7, 2016Everything is so good you could pick anything and be sure is a great choice. Excellent service, fair prices.
- Seph M.September 1, 2014Cafe 21 is owned by the same person who owns Zymology, which is now one of my favorite bars. Trying to figure out how to convince him to adopt me.
- KellyMarch 15, 2015Really awesome breakfast/brunch spot - amazing cast iron omelette and awesome stuffed french toast.
- Carol-Ann LundyAugust 15, 2015If they have the lamb belly bacon skillet special so yourself a favor and get it.
- annie frizzell millsJuly 19, 2013Their happy hour is a great deal! The fondue is fabulous and the sangria flight is well worth your time. Enjoy!
- Toia CapelliDecember 28, 2014Classic Bloody Mary is very picturesque! I would ask for more tomato juice though...
- Lizette LozanoJune 9, 2013My Classic Cristo Sandwich was delicious! Service very great, the personal is friendly.
- Patti PierceApril 11, 2015First meal in SD. The mimosas was wonderful. The salad with strawberry vinaigrette was very good. Omelettes were over cooked and service was very slow.
- Barbara ShumerMarch 16, 2012The best breakast we have ever had! Homemade vanilla pear jam pancakes & spinach feta salmon omlet all organic and local produce.
- Mary DesjeanAugust 2, 2012Creme brûlée cheesecake! Delicious & creamy with a sugary top. Cheesecake in the middle!
- Natalia AndrievskayaMay 17, 2017We just came for drinks and the live music. Both were great! It was a jazz night 😍
- jacqueline scordatoMarch 26, 2013Can't go wrong .. The menu is small but mighty with amazing options that make it almost impossible to decide!
