Fig Tree Cafe

The only ding is what makes it special, the restaurant is entirely outdoors,but it's covered; similar to a covered patio. It's rather large. It has only 2 bathrooms which made for a long wait on our way out. The servers were helpful and the food was good.

Toby was amazing and super cute! He made sure we had a great time! Food was delicious - got the seasonal omelette and gluten free cinnamon raisin French toast. Will come back!

Adorable little café with some of the best breakfast and coffee in town. Sweet, savory, and flavorful, and the coffee is rich and smooth. Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and pet-friendly outdoor seating make it a perfect spot.

The breakfast sushi was interesting while also being quite delicious. In photos it seems smaller than it actually is. Also unsure the alcohol content (probably hid it very well) of the margarita but hey it was a good sweet drink

Cute outdoorsy cafe with tasty brunch options. Loved the atmosphere and friendly service. Would recommend the veggie scramble and spicy chicken sandwich.

Fig tree is a cute little restaurant. The food was okay, the potato’s were dry and the eggs Benedict were good but nothing extraordinary. Our server was pretty bad, she kept forgetting about refilling our drinks and quite frankly, she wasn’t very nice. The atmosphere It’s really cute!

We stopped in here for breakfast during our visit to San Diego. They have a lively warm atmosphere. We got seated indoors quickly after arriving. We had a party of four and ordered a variety of meals. All of our meals were delicious and full of flavor. The staff was very nice and attentive. The Mimosas were refreshing. Overall, we had a great dinning experience.

Fig Tree Cafe is a great spot for a delicious meal. The banana Foster’s French toast was absolutely delectable. The big hit at our table, however, were the arugula potatoes—you could smell the truffle oil from across the table! The man candy Bloody Mary is massive and impressive. We also really enjoyed the short rib sandwich; the focaccia bread was tasty and had a great crispy texture. It's a very family and dog-friendly place, which is a huge plus. We sat on the back patio, which was lovely, though it was a little buggy. Fortunately, they have fly fans to help keep them away.

I like Toby he is good. Great service, great tude. Never a dull moment w/ this guy ;)

Great vibes, Tobi was our server was on point and made really good drinks thank you! Definitely recommend.

We came here for brunch. We ordered the breakfast sushi and the house cured smoked salmon + eggs Benny on focaccia. The breakfast sushi was innovative, great melding of flavors with the egg/rice/scallion mix, plum sauce, bacon and avocado. It was filling and delicious. The smoked salmon was velvety and the eggs perfectly done, bursting its yellow yolks on the eggs Benny. There also wasn't too much bread, which was good. Also liked the Lightly toasted potato cubes. Toby was our server and he was responsive, intuitive in anticipating our needs, friendly and helpful. Ambiance was quite nice, liked the kitschy decor and appreciated the heaters.

I love this spot. Not sure what's not to love. They an amazing outdoor space. Plenty of healthy and not so healthy options. The portions are massive...in a good way! Also, kid friendly. Winner! One of our favorites.

My husband and I stopped in for breakfast a couple weeks ago and had a great time. We were sat right away which was super lucky for a Saturday morning. Our server was super nice and helpful. We both really enjoyed our meals and drinks. Love that the entire place is indoor/outdoor. Super cute vibe with all of the plants and unique furniture.

Was looking forward to my first visit here. Service is far below average. At the hostess stand. We waited 5 minutes. The place looked empty. I thought they were closing up for the day. Food is average. The egg frittata was not fully cooked and they took it back. We waited 20 minutes, no one told us what was going on with the meal. The chili quillas eggs also average. Will not go back. Too many youngsters serving the guests and are more interested in chatting together in the back.

Cute weekend brunch spot. Lots of outdoor seating and dog friendly. Staff has been top notch every time I've been here. The breakfast sushi, burrito and Benedict's are all solid choices. Tried the French toast sampler for the first time and the fig jam ricotta was perfection! Until next time!

Their eggs are so fluffy, like clouds. Our waiter was kind, patient and helpful - and kept their coffee (which is roasted dark and delicious) coming. We sat on the patio and even though it was a rainy day it was so warm with the heaters and a calm atmosphere for our meal.

We had a great waiter Jake. Friendly and good service. My second time here first time for my husband. We just dropped our youngest son at the airport and stopped in on the trip home. I got the breakfast sushi. I had it my first time here and really like it. I also wanted the apple fritter pancakes so my husband was nice enough to order them so I could have both. The pancakes are delicious and I would recommend them. Happy we have leftovers of both for breakfast tomorrow. Glad they had fly fans for the tables so we had no problems.

Had breakfast here with my mom and her dog, which worked out perfectly because the patio is super dog-friendly. We grabbed a table outside--it's such a cute setup. Even though it's totally open-air, the trees and plants make it feel kind of tucked away and cozy. I ordered the chipotle chilaquiles and WOW. So good. The sauce had just the right amount of kick, and the chips stayed crispy--not that sad, soggy mess you sometimes get. My mom got the Benedict and liked it too, but I definitely won that round. Also had a honey lavender latte and now I'm obsessed--wish I had one right now honestly.

Fig tree is a cute little restaurant. The food was okay, the potato's were dry and the eggs Benedict were good but nothing extraordinary. Our server was pretty bad, she kept forgetting about refilling our drinks and quite frankly, she wasn't very nice. The atmosphere It's really cute!

Wowwww. This was amazing. Every single item ordered was delicious. 100% would come back for the breakfast trio and try some more of these sweet pancakes and French toasts. Worth the sugar rush! Staff were friendly and service was quick. Vibe here is fantastic. Highly recommend.

this place was okay. the menu looked amazing and promising. i got the pork belly grits and man candy. the grits was creamy and rich. the pork belly was a bit dry and not moist as i had hoped. the soy sauce egg had great texture but a bit on the saltier side. the man candy i will skip next time. didn't taste any papiri service was nice. the wait staff was great. the atmosphere was nice too. maybe i just ordered the wrong things.

The main entrance is gorgeous. The giant fig tree is enormous. Our server, Mark, was on top of everything. We ordered the french toast/pancake sampler with lemon ricotta pancakes, lemon strawberry french toast, and berry sweet french toast. It was delicious, especially the lemon strawberry french toast. My husband loved the crispy pork belly & grits. Thank you Mark for the recommendation. We tried a traditional breakfast, as well as the short rib sandwich. Our food runner, Axel, was super nice as well. The manager, Eva, and hostess, Maggie were also very friendly. The restrooms were clean also. We will definitely come back on our next visit.

Cute and delicious brunch spot! Perfect to sit outside in the sun. My friend got the breakfast sandwich - the brioche bun was amazing. I got the veggie omelette, the goat cheese was a great addition. The gluten free toast was not my favorite, a bit too thin and crispy. The chai latte is a must! Service was quick and friendly. We'll be back!

I can't believe I snoozed on my review for this spot! Despite the mixed reviews and the inconvenient parking, it's still a great place to mingle or go solo. I like this specific location for the following reasons: - It's very feminine yet welcoming to all. I feel like an enchanted albeit probably hungover fairy whenever I eat breakfast here because the patio is situated beneath a beautiful tree. In fact, I'm thinking of making up Mother's Day brunch here soon because it's the perfect mix of chic and lowkey. Perfect for all the moms at any age--messy buns, no makeup, leggings, or all done up! - The food has a homemade quality and I've never been disappointed. - Service was always standard for me without anything to complain about. - I'm currently daydreaming about their arugula truffle potatoes. I've even recreated them at home a few times but nothing beats getting out and having a friendly person serve them to you while you're enjoying a morning outside of your pjs. I live in southeast San Diego and I don't mind driving and circling for parking here once in a while. I will admit that this location is more pedestrian-friendly because it's situated in a way that's best accessed by locals, but it's a cute location and I prefer it over the others so Fig Tree PB... I choose you *big hand heart*.

Reliable brunch spot :) my favorite part is probably the ambiance of their outdoor seating. Feels like you're in a tree! lol. I've been a couple of times, and I'll say their egg breakfast dishes are average. Nothing amazing but no complaints. What I had for the first time though was their crispy pork belly with Gouda grits... OMG. I did feel my arteries being clogged by the dish but it was fabulous. Really makes me want to try more of their niche dishes. Their breakfast drinks/lattes are really good to me...but the coffee drinker I was with said their latte barely tasted like coffee but it was a yummy dessert just fyi. Also my chai flavor was good but it was almost room temperature when it arrived.

Very cute cafe with cozy wooden covered outdoor area! Nice lights and decor and casual ambiance. Servers were very friendly and kind! The drinks came quickly, food took a bit but must meant it was fresh! The rose latte was very nice and had good balance of coffee and rose flavor. Got the traditional Benedict, the focaccia was nicely toasted, the egg yolk was runny and the potatoes were nice and crispy. Hoped there'd be a bit more flavor but filling and solid meal!

This place is super cute with lots of outdoor seats. Really good Bloody Mary and the food here is also really good. I got the breakfast sandwich and the bread was perfectly toasted and the flavor was super balanced. Would definitely come back and get this again. Only critique is that the food came out super slow. I was almost done with my drink before the food came out. But besides the slow service our server was super friendly and we got seated super quick and the food came out hot and super delicious.

Had a delicious brunch here. The decor is so cute and immersive, there are plants everywhere which I love. We got the chipotle chilaquiles and the short rib Benedict. The service was a little slow, but I think only one waitress was working.

What a cute spot! They have private rooms where you can sit outside and have your own little mimosa bar. All of the food in the group looked delicious. I just got the American breakfast which was simple yet tasty. But LOOK at this man candy Bloody Mary I got I ate the bacon before the picture because it was just too good. I also got the regular which was still pretty spicy if you don't love spice FYI. But SO GOOD.

This place was UHmazing. Literally the best breakfast I've had in FOREVER. espresso martini also one of my favorites in town. Sampler was 10/10. Toby was the best ever as well, was super sweet, accommodated us with our pups as well! He even gave them a special treat for my son's birthday!

Toby was the best, he even gave our dogs treats! Food was also amazing, great vibes all around!

Great service, great smile... food was delish, will definitely come back. Maggie took great care of us!

Just drove into San Diego for the first time, waiting to check in the Airbnb down the road, figured I'd get some breakfast and coffee found this place and it was not disappointing at all! The food was delicious, I had the apple fritter pancakes and nitro brew, everything was amazing. The place was quiet and peaceful and the staff was very kind. Definitely try it out.

Tate was such a sweetheart when we walked up to Fig Tree! He greeted us with a big smile and cracked a joke, definitely set the tone for our experience. Fig Tree is lucky to have him!! Food is amazing as always! I love Fig tree for its nice warm atmosphere and cozy vibes.

Late review, was going through old food photos and was reminded that I didn't review this place! I do not typically order grits but somehow decided to order the crispy pork and grits dish. I was on vacation in the area, and this was right down the street from where I was staying. Very big surfer vibes, so SD. Great vibes, except I remember there were a few flies that just would not leave me alone. Still I remember these buttery savory grits were amazing! Definitely recommend the grits. The hibiscus lemonade was also delicious, and made for a great combo.

Surprising went around 10am and it wasn't jam packed. The food is good but I was disappointed with the coffee. When it first arrived there were the dregs from the bottom of the pot. I asked for a new cup and I'm pretty sure my waitress gave me the exact same cup... When the new cup arrived my companion said it looks like spices so maybe that's their blend, so I drank it. Surely enough by the end I knew it was just the bottom of the barrel. At the end the waitress asks if I would like a refill and I said no. She reminds me it's endless refills and I'm still saying no but my companion asked for a cup to go. No coffee bits in their cup... but they didn't like it and asked for me to bring it in to throw it away. Also, make it make sense they charge $3 for man candy on the standard breakfast but only .75 more on the sides cost...

Our server Tobi was very friendly and attentive and gave us great service. The food was delicious and was served quickly. We especially loved the hibiscus lemonade and the fried chicken sandwich. Also, this spot is baby and kid friendly, which is a plus.

This is such a cute location. I came for breakfast right when they opened and it was such a great vibe sitting in the outdoor patio area. Service was great! She was attentive at just the right amount. I tried the fig and ricotta stuffed French toast and it was good but a little too sweet for me. I would love to come back and try something different - maybe a little more savory. Street parking only but there were quite a few options when I went. The surrounding residential area may have extra spots as well. I love this area as it's so close to the beach!

Perfect brunch spot with wonderful service! My friends and I came in on a Saturday morning after a night out and it was amazing! Their outdoor patio is surf themed and really goes well with the San Diego vibe. Angie was incredibly attentive and made sure we were always taken care of. I ordered the traditional Benedict and definitely recommend it on the focaccia! I also got the man candy Bloody Mary and it was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back!

Service was great, burrito was great. Ordered some French toast to share but it ended up being way too much food on top of the burrito. We were happily stuffed.

Great outdoor seating, wonderful food choices, tastes as good as the menu states, love the service. Sometimes wait times are long, but that to be expected for really good food. Try the lavender latte!

Food is always solid. My go to is the huevos rancheros. Madi is also amazing - great service and very pleasant

The coffee was really good! I went with my dad and the environment was peaceful and the patio was large and beautiful with all the greenery. My Huevos Rancheros was good but I didn't taste the ranchero sauce at all. Good beans and chips, though. I wish the service was better, my dad and I sat clearly finished and I had to get up and get the check.

Great breakfast and now a great full bar. This is a hidden gem here in San Diego, don't tell anyone. I lived a block away from this place and have seen it grow to the unique breakfast/brunch experience that it is. The favorites: Man Candy! (bacon with brown sugar),meatloaf hash (hash with pesto), rosary potatoes

Oh my gosh excellent service! We got sat down right away and we had a party of eight people around 10 o'clock. I was expecting to come and have to wait but absolutely no way in the status in the back under the tree, which was absolutely amazing. Angie was our server and she was absolutely amazing very attentive. Absolutely love that she could hear my daughter's Mexican accent, and spoke to her in Spanish. She was so friendly and thoughtful and very helpful and patient with our party. Food was absolutely amazing big portions, which I absolutely loved and everything came out fresh and hot.

This is by far my favorite restaurant in the United States lol I miss living in San Diego so every chance I get to visit this is my first stop. It was my b day and the staff was amazing and made sure I had the best experience!

Plenty of seating, service is super friendly, and the food is delicious. I love the outdoor patio, and it almost feels like you're in a treehouse. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup which came with French fries. Yumm! Definitely recommend coming here!

Super cute brunch spot with great food! Met up with a friend here and got to sit out near the front of the patio. Our server was really sweet and just the right amount of attentive. My husband and I split a breakfast burrito. It was delicious and super filling! The burrito was huge so definitely a shareable. Coffee & tea were great but they also have alcoholic beverages if you're looking for a more brunch-y vibe. Definitely check out Fig Tree if you're in the area!

one of my favorite spots in pb! great food and great environment! love their breakfast sushi.....

Cute place and not too crowded. However, we waited for almost 30 minutes for our breakfasts to arrive. We noticed that the waiters were not hustling food to the other patrons during that time either. When we were finally served our food, my husband's Traditional Benedict was room-temperature, which was absolutely unacceptable. The saving grace was the nice server who deducted the cost of the Benedict from our bill. Long wait times and room-temperature food is a management problem and lack of quality control.

Food: I am vegan. The savory options were incredible; I am not a sweets eater. I loved the food so much that I went back the following day. My expectations were exceeded. Service: Honestly, the service was great, once they acknowledged that I was waiting for a table. It took at least 20 minutes. It wasn't even busy. If I had not been there with a group, I would likely have left. This is an area for improvement. Ambiance: Love the ambiance. Once things got rolling, it was a pleasant experience.

I came here for brunch earlier today with three other girls. We got a seat in the patio back which in my opinion is the best place to sit. It was really busy so our server definitely was running around, but she tried her best to make sure we had everything we needed! We did have to ask a few times for a water cups to be filled up and stuff like that. I got the salmon Benedict and it was so good! I love the potatoes it came with. I think maybe they could've given you a little bit of extra salmon, but otherwise, it was really tasty!

Very cute restaurant. Parking isn't very good. It's in a residential location. The staff were very kind and friendly! I was hopeful for more options in the menu but it was very minimal. We all ended up getting the same type of dish. When going on a weekend, be prepared to wait as it was about a 35-45 min wait. The food overall was not spectacular...it was pretty expensive as well.

Service was good but our dishes were a bit stale, especially the focaccia bread on the eggs Benedict. This place really used to be the IT spot and it's definitely not as great as it was. Ambiance is cute and fun though.

Not worth coming back. Don't understand the high ratings. Long wait for the food to arrive after ordering. They didn't even fulfill my order request when the food arrived. Portion sizes were smaller than expected.

Omg - such a cool Brunch spot! Please get the breakfast burrito. It was sooooo good! Staff is so friendly and helpful. It started to rain and no questions asked, they moved us immediately. Cool and hip ambiance. Would probably only recommend when the weather is good enough to go there!

Pretty place but food was very mid. Got 2 Benedict's both not warm. Fruit was old. Bread was stale. Everything felt like it was a couple days old.
