Incredible spot with a true OB vibe. The food is exceptional quality with a range of hardy to fresh foods. The shrimp 🍤 sandwich is a must try dish. The hostess was quick to have my party of 3 seated quickly even with a wait list. A truly local spot, and I suggest you come early to get on the list then you can walk the sunset cliffs while your table is set. We are so happy to have found this boutique spot with farm- fresh flavors

Good, fresh food, just would’ve liked a tiny bit more attention to detail for the high prices. The Benedict was delicious except for tiny serving of the frozen potatoes and the really cold avocado/tomato inside (though they were very fresh!) - would feel more comfortable paying $20 if I got a good serving of homemade potatoes and if the food didn’t feel so cold bc of the refrigerated tomato/avocado. I also got a matcha lemonade and it didn’t seem like they knew how to make it, the matcha hadn’t been sifted so there were tons of little chunks of matcha inside. Coffee was just fine, pretty watery. The crispy bacon was the highlight, absolutely perfect and I’d go back just for that.

Would love to put 6 stars!
The only negative reviews here are from people who wanted a “quick bite”... As the age-old saying goes, “you cannot rush perfection”!
Best bacon I’ve ever had, hands down.
15ish min wait, 15-20ish min for the food to come-completely worth the wait! If you’re in Point Loma, look no further for an amazing brunch spot!

We arrived in a large group (9 adults, 6 children), we waited a bit and it was worth it. The foods were delicious, and the service was top notch! The Egg Benedict w Crabs, Glow Bowl, and Sausage Bowl did not disappoint, fantastic flavor.

What a sweet little place! It's packed inside but in the best Paris Cafe kind of way. They have a great selection of beverages with some choices that aren't on every menu. My husband got the sausage plate and he even enjoyed the kale! We started with the cinnamon coffee cake and it was killer. Definitely make reservations because "little" is in the name for a reason. This is an OB gem and I hope they're there for years to come so that I can return whenever I visit San Diego.

Great place to treat yourself 🥰 The crust on the coffee cake was DIVINE. The staff said the owner isn’t shy about the recipe, and let me leave a note with my contact info🤤. The cafe can get quite busy on weekends so it’s best to make a reservation. Or put your name in and walk Sunset Cliffs.

We came here for breakfast and there was a line out of the door however the wait wasn’t too bad. I would definitely recommend making reservations here on their website though.
We ordered the Sausage Bowl and the Belgian Waffles. The Kale & Sausage bowl was great. The buttermilk biscuit was nice and flaky and the gravy was savory. The real winner here though was the Belgian Waffles. The waffles were heavenly and definitely the best I’ve ever had. If you get anything here get the waffles.
This cafe is definitely a gem and I plan on returning here very soon.
