Jo was a firm favorite and a must go to. Miss her superior croissants, I still crave her bliss cakes and my dogs miss her bacon! She worked hard and her hospitality was genuine - Cardamon will be missed, but now she can enjoy life!!!

If it's breakfast you're looking for, you better come quick because the new owners are just about to rebrand the establishment as an Italian dinner place. This will be my most-quickly-obsolete review ever. For now, they have outstanding breakfasts including good rosemary potatoes. I like the breakfast croissant-which, with egg and turkey sausage. Great choice of hot tea, including Earl Grey and Darjeeling. No salmon of any kind, but they do have a seafood omelette.

Overcooked, flat eggs on my omelete (turn that heat down), no sausage or ham on a Sunday, then charged extra for bacon instead. Upholstery was repaired with duct tape (Fabric is $5/yard at Walmart, no excuse.) Took my wife there for the first time. She had to sit on the duct tape. Embarrassing. Food is OK. But seriously, with the competition for breakfast in that part of town... better step it up. A good location only goes so far. Hello Mission 21, Breakfast Republic and Snooze, etc. They take pride in their work. So should you. I gave 4 stars because I'm not trying to be mean or punish anyone, just being honest and would be surprised if any changes were made based on my feedback.

I love the atmosphere and the food here. A little hole-in-the-wall cafe with delicious food at the right price, especially compared to the other hipster breakfast joints in North Park. I've never had better pancakes or chicken salad in San Diego, and I am a life-long customer!

North park omelet was good. I think the potatoes were cut too big. Some of the of the potatoes were hard and some were mushy. Should cut them smaller. Overall pretty good.

A great bakery and cafe that´s convenient, reasonably priced, friendly, and delicious. They have a variety of pastries and specialty breads that are home-made. They serve excellent salads and sandwiches too. There´s a small parking lot in the back, but many of the spaces are for denizens of the neighboring apartments, so be thoughtful where you park. Recommended.

Excellent service. Every request was graciously satisfied. Great place to catch up with friends. We were never rushed. We were checked on during our meal to be certain we didn't need anything. Great place for a small meeting. Portion are very generous and can be shared. We all enjoyed our breakfast. It was a little disappointing that they changed their Cardamom French Toast recipe. Free parking in the back accessed through the alley. We return often and I would definitely recommend them.

This morning I had a simple breakfast - it was two eggs over medium with the potatoes and English muffin. the quick story is Why only 4 stars not 5 - because my potatoes and eggs were on the cold side. the English muffin was more of a small bun cut in half than an actual English muffin. the reason why 4 stars and not 3 is because my eggs were actually cooked over medium which is strangely not often the case.
