Morning Glory

This is one of the rare places where you could blindly order anything from the menu and it would be amazing. Great interiors and service even when they were crowded on a Monday morning. The souffle pancakes were out of this world and so we're the hash browns. Even the hot chocolates were perfectly done and hit the right spot. I got their orange-vanilla and maple cinnamon one. I also tried the Kachapuri, inteuresting concept of a flatbread with a fried egg. From the presentation to the taste of the food everything was perfect. I would definitely love to go back and try other things on the menu.

Cute and modern breakfast place in the middle of little Italy. There are 2 entrances to get inside this upstairs establishment either by climbing stairs, or taking the elevator. The decor is stunning with crystal carafes and glasses for water and coffee drinks, which gives it a feel of elegance. There are booths and bar seats available, as well as shaded areas covered by beautiful pink umbrellas. There is a bar and barista stand available. I ordered the soufflé pancakes and they did not disappoint. Extremely fluffy and jiggly and just as fun to eat! I also ordered their pork belly fried rice and that was super hearty with a good mix of meat and veggies. Lastly, I got their dirty latte (non-alcoholic) which is a different flavor weekly. This week it was peanut butter chocolate. Although it was a bit on the sweet side, it was still delicious. The service was excellent with very attentive workers who work together as a team and were eager to answer any questions I had, as well as offer suggestions and food modifications.

After almost 3 years in San Diego I finally checked out Morning Glory for breakfast. It is probably the most famous brunch spot in San Diego. I never wanted to do it because there was always a huge line and I hate waiting to eat, plus could it really be that great? Well one day my husband and I woke up very early and decided to go, it was also a weekday and we got there right when they opened. We were let right in, no wait. We ordered matcha lattes to start, loved the latte art! We then ordered their famous Soufflé Pancakes, Egg Mcfunnin, and Veggie Scramble. Everything was honestly amazing. I would highly recommend getting something savory and sweet to try both. I don’t think you can go wrong here, but definitely get the soufflée pancakes! They were light, fluffy, and not too sweet. Service was also great. Overall a great experience and I will be back!

You come here for the atmosphere and experience of the restaurant. Had such a fun meal with friends. Really enjoyed the vibe this place set to be able to catch up and have a good time. The iced coffee was incredibly weak and lacking (for multiple different coffee drinks). It looked heavily diluted. The drip coffee was good though. The waiter was very sweet and let us sub out the coffee for something else. Food dishes were overall good. Nothing out of this world but they held their own. We got to the restaurant 10 minutes before opening and the line was already several people deep. We were in the first round of tables. This place appears to always have a line. Overall really enjoyed this place. If you are going for the food alone, I don’t think the wait is worth it. If you are going for the full experience and are willing to wait an hour in line and that won’t rain on your parade, it’s worth it. Highly recommend getting a coffee from a cafe nearby to sip on while waiting!

We loved this place! We arrived around 11am and there was no queue at this time so we walked straight in. The food was amazing - we were on a USA trip from the UK and visited NY, LA & Vegas and this was my favourite place we ate at out of everywhere! Food was 10/10 and the service was great too. I’m vegetarian so chose the Veggie Benny which I loved. Gutted that we live too far away to return and sample the rest of the menu!

Great place for breakfast. A must, if you are visiting San Diego and especially if staying in the little Italy area. There was a small wait line witch starts at the bottom of stairs leading up to restaurant about 10 min for us. Then gave our name , took our phone number and in around 20 min they called us. The sat us at the bar for faster sit down . But the wait is worth it. The food is excellent. I ordered eggs Benedict and the wife ordered souffle with berry's which is fantastic, I also ordered the thick cut bacon , but I did not like it, too fatty and smelled of strong pork ( almost farm like pig) yes I know it's bacon But I never smelled it this strong and pungent . Not worth it for me. But everything else looks amazing ! Coffee was awesome as well . Highly recommend place ! Hope to be back one day !

This place is awesome, food was delicious, service was good. The line moved pretty fast even though it was long. The Georgian cheese boat is a must, the bread itself was amazing. Also, best hash browns I’ve ever had. Place is a bit expensive but hey, it’s definitely worth it, believe this place has 2 Michelin stars. Decor was funky and interesting, don’t sit at the window though because everyone who’s in line will look at your food and you’ll get awkward eye contacts.

Went here for brunch while visiting SD on a vacation. There always seems to be a wait, but that didn’t surprise as we had done some research ahead of time. The whole vibe of the restaurant is trendy and “maximalist”. Including the menu— so many choices! Nearly everything looked good, and we thoroughly enjoyed what we did order. The only con was that service was rushed and it was difficult to get our server if needed, since the staff seemed stretched too thin. Overall, it was a fun brunch, but not sure if I would return now that I can say I’ve checked Morning Glory off the list.
