A community‑minded favorite since the 1990s serving Chino‑Latino breakfasts, cinnamon bread French toast, and hearty plates after a beach walk. Praised by local food critics and included in numerous city breakfast roundups for its value and neighborhood roots.

Went here on a sunny Sunday morning. Our wait time was about 20 minutes and after being seated we waited 7-8 minutes to be greeted by Stella. She took our coffee orders and they were promptly delivered. My Mocha was delicious, sorry no picture. My quesadilla with black beans hit the spot and my wife enjoyed her Avocado Toast. Both plates were plentiful. Stella did a great job checking with us and had a great attitude and smile on a very busy day. We were a bit disappointed after being told the kitchen did not make modification to orders. We loved the Mission Bay vibe and enjoyed our leisurely breakfast.

Such a great breakfast spot in a beach town! The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The pancakes were generous in size and absolutely delicious, and the chilaquiles were super tasty and satisfying. It’s also a very kid-friendly place, making it perfect for families. A relaxed, welcoming vibe with great food—definitely a place we’d come back to for breakfast. Great place to stop at before heading to Sea World.

Our first time eating at the Mission. Chose this place because of the amazing on line menu photos. Food was plated and served just like the photos and the flavor was amazing! Our waiter Omid was really friendly and did an amazing job with helping us decide what to order. Would highly recommend this place!

Mission Cafe has always been a favorite in my family when we’re here for vacation. We got there as soon as they opened on a Friday and there was no wait in the morning. Very peaceful and quiet in the sitting area. We had great service and Nikki made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. We usually come in during the summer time but the fall season was new to us and will probably be back again in the next season!

Amazing brunch place. Food is delicious. We had the chilaquiles and biscuits and gravy but every plate that came out looked delicious. Prices were great too!

We are in San Diego on vacation and came here almost every morning for breakfast. As a vegetarian I really appreciate their variety on the menu. I’ve gotten chilaquiles, zen breakfast, veggie omelet. You can’t go wrong with any option on their menu. Their rosemary potatoes and banana bread are delicious. Evan was our server most times we were here and he was very attentive and helpful (and as he says a stud 😂). Portions are large - you can tell they put a lot of care in their food. I feel spoiled by their breakfasts and I’ll miss going here after vacation.

Oh my Gosh. Service was good. We went on a holiday and yes it was busy but our server took great care of us. Food came out in record timing and I got the seasonal pancakes (cinnamon and apple) it was soooooo Goood the server also asked if I wanted a scoop of ice cream with it. 😭😭 I wanted to cry. That was so sweet of her and I had to tell her she really made my day. Food and drink was good. Adequate seating. Also I was surprised at the price. It’s very reasonable.
