This establishment is characterized by outstanding food, service, and affordability, and its impressive 60-year history speaks to its enduring quality. The coffee, paired with delightful choices like oatmeal pancakes and a substantial fruit parfait, proved to be thoroughly satisfying. Noteworthy is the inclusion of gluten-free options, including the delectable tuna melt sandwich. Shelly, our amiable and cheerful server, enhanced the overall dining experience. The convenience of ample street parking in the front, coupled with additional spaces at the rear, adds to the overall appeal.

Exceptional food, service, and affordability are the hallmarks of this establishment, and its longevity of over 60 years attests to its quality. The coffee, along with delightful offerings like oatmeal pancakes and a generous fruit parfait, was quite satisfying. A notable feature is the availability of gluten-free options, such as the delicious tuna melt sandwich. Shelly, our friendly and smiling server, made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Ample street parking in the front and additional spaces in the rear add to the convenience.

First time here! It was busy and yet we were seated right away! They have a parking lot behind the cafe.
We ordered chicken fried steak & soft over easy eggs and Corned beef hash ( see photo) & eggs.

Best diner, coffee shop, greasy spoon, whatever you want to call it. Delicious food. Perfect hash browns. Really really good. Chicken fried steak with sausage gravy. Highly recommend if you’re into this stuff like I am.

Okay. Let's get to the important stuff right off the bat (cliche' noted). There is a rather large and free parking lot behind the building that I don't think ever gets mentioned. But a warning about the lot. It's designed, as an accident I have to assume, as two parallel "one way" parking aisles. Meaning that if you drive though one aisle you can't flip around and go up the second aisle. Each is designed in the same direction. This can be denoted but arrows painted "point to point". They just need to restripe one of the lanes. Oh, and there is a back entrance right off the parking lot.
Next....there is only one, single occupant restroom. So please don't wait till the last minute to relieve yourself. You might have an accident.
The place has a ton of seating and a relatively small kitchen and even smaller dishwashing room located next to the single occupant restroom.
The staff is fantastic and the portions are very generous. The bloody Marie is good and on the spicy side.
It's a great value and really enjoyable.

We went on a whim to HARRY's COFFEE SHOP today, just because my partner was in the mood for some pancakes.
We got a disabled parking spot in their parking lot in the back of the restaurant, and were seated right away.
I always wanted to try their EGGS FLORENTINE, and it didn't disappoint!!! I asked for how they do it on their website with raisin bread and it was delicious. It was also so pretty to look at!!!
My partner had something new, the SUPERFECTA. I have had it about three or four times before, loved it. He loved it too.
I had so much food that I had to take some home for breakfast tomorrow.
We had a great server named Kathy, who was very nice, and on the ball.

Excellent home cooked food and the best horchata cold brew! Friendly and attentive staff. Love going here when I visit San Diego

The veggie omelette and the chicken apple sausage plate were both excellent. The hash-browns especially were delicious - crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Huge portions, and really excellent diner fare.

A fixture in downtown La Jolla.
Been there over a dozen times, everytime I've gone there's always been a 5-10min wait, it's just a popular place! Lots of seats at the counter and booths.

Awesome food, service, and price. There is a good reason why this place survived for over 60 years. Coffee was decent, too. I loved the oatmeal pancakes. Fruit parfait, or fruit bowl with yogurt and granola was excellent and generous. Tuna melt sandwich was delicious and even had a gluten free option! Our server Shelly was friendly and actually smiled, which I find are becoming rare these days. Street parking in the front and more parking in the rear.
