This new restaurant is absolutely incredible! From the moment you walk in you're greeted with such as sophisticated and welcoming decor! I was extremely impressed with the selection of the food on the menu. Their house made beignets came out perfect, fresh in hot and with an incredible matcha topping to put on it. I ended up getting the duck confit waffles for my main meal and they were amazing! Duck was cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of crisp and full of flavor and seasoning, and the waffle was also very flavorful and cooked perfectly as well. The house made guava syrup for the waffles was such a pleasant surprise! 10/10 def recommend and can't wait to go back and try! Our serving V was also really nice and gave great recommendations for us to try! read more

I came in for brunch with my bestie and her daughters, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff and seated right away. The decor is so cute inside, there's also a beer can wall by the restroom - which is pretty cool. We started off with beignets and drinks. The matcha latte tiramisu and black sesame latte is perfection - the black sesame blended well with the nutty flavor from the hojicha shot. Beignets were hot and fresh, it comes with a tasty mascarpone. Everything on the menu sounded appetizing, but we ended up ordering the brown butter buttermilk pancakes with fresh fruit - pancakes were fluffy, the blueberries were huge! My goddaughter loved adding more syrup to her pancakes, which was pretty good. The avocado toast, as well as the mushroom toast toppings ate both good, toast was a bit tough to chew though. Lastly, the curry hamburg- the egg, rice and curry.. yum! well seasoned, but the beef patty was a little dry. Parking in the area is general is difficult, but I was able to find parking a block over. read more

Parking is street only. Some is metered. Very difficult to park. When we walked to the front door we were asked if we had reservations. We did not but were told they could 'fit us in'. Not sure if this is mostly a reservation only kind of place. Staff - our waitress might have been new. She had to check the kitchen for the items we wanted to order to see if they were still available. The matcha tiramisu she had to ask the head of staff as she was told they did not have it but later on we were told it was available. She did not check on us at all throughout the meal. It was difficult to get the check to pay at the end. Ordered Curry hamburg - the curry was so salty. We could not finish it. The egg was unseasoned and we were unable to get pepper or anything for it. Rice was okay. Beef was odd, slightly undercooked center but overcooked exterior. Matcha tiramisu - it was okay. I personally wouldn't order this again. Broccolini - this was very good. Recommend to order this. Overall the service and food were not very good for the price so we most likely will not be back. read more

My roommate and I came here on a weekday morning because we live in the neighborhood and walk around this place often. The seating was super fast, and the menu is extensive in terms of options (I want to try the beignets one day). We got the two eggs and the steak and eggs, my roommate got the matcha tiramisu latte and i got a cup of coffee. Overall the experience was good and ambiance was nice, people were nice as well. I would recommend this to people who want a different brunch selection than swamis further down the street or the flapjacks place. I think the missing star comes from the little things along the way, the coffee being lukewarm (no refills), the food being a bit greasy, matcha taste a bit not like tiramisu, i think they might've been understaffed a host/waiter which impacted wait time. read more

I'm so happy I stumbled upon this new brunch spot! It's super cute inside, service is great, and the food was so delicious! Definitely worth try if you're in the area. Parking, per usual, is difficult in North Park, but super worth it! Food/drink review: Tiramisu matcha: (5/5) This was so delicious! You really taste the matcha with a hint of sweetness. You also get a cute little cookie with your drink! Strawberry matcha: (3.5/5) Wasn't my favorite, but still has good overall flavor. It's definitely sweeter than the tiramisu matcha. Two eggs your way: (5/5) I honestly love a simple breakfast. This was perfect. Very filling, but everything had great flavor. I was weirded out by the beans, but they were actually really good. Haha Breakfast tartine: (5/5) This was delicious! Some of the best bacon! They use the milk bread too which is super yummy! Beignets: (5/5) OMG, yummmm! These came out nice and hot and fluffy. The dipping sauces were delicious as well. Matcha cream and black sesame. The simple toast: (5/5) This was honestly really tasty. Not overly sweet, it was just right! read more

It's a Saturday afternoon less than an hour before the restaurant close and I was able to be seated immediately. There is ample seating (bar, main, and outdoor) in the establishment. Neutral, modern decor. My server came quickly to take my order. Unfortunately, there were out of my initial entree choice which was Curry Hamburger. I order the Steak and Eggs. Eggs over easy, steak cooked medium, the only option for toast is sourdough. I decided not order a beverage during the experience, however, I saw many matcha ordered. I would have an order a matcha with the curry. Personally, I don't believe the matcha would pair well with the steak, and the server didn't recommend any beverage. I was provided with water. Shortly after my food was delivered. My plate was a nice presentation. The steak is of a good quality, cooked very well, and seasoned properly. It one of my top steak brunch experiences. The eggs were well cooked. The potatoes were crisp and lightly seasoned. I enjoyed the jam and whipped butter on my sourdough toast. My steak got cold quickly because I sat at the windiest table in the restaurant so I only ate half of it. I did ask if the large windows can be closed and the staff did obliged. The service wasn't anything special. It was order your meal, deliver meal and accompaniments, to-go box (which took three tries, hahaha), pay for meal. read more

Between Us - Steak and Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Food was yummy and aesthetics were so pretty. My friend and I came here and got the matcha tiramisu lattes. The matcha was pretty creamy and the foam top was sweet, I just didnt like the cookie that was on top of the drink for the taste besides the look. We also shared the beingets, which were fluffy but I really enjoyed the dipping sauce specifically the black sesame. For my main dish I tried the shakshuka. I've never had this dish before but let me say was it soooo good. I loved the tomato flavors, which were very bright and strong. One thing is that there are a ton of flies since its an open concept restaurant. read more

Really excited for this new brunch spot - we don't see a ton of asian fusion brunch places so was very excited to check out their dishes. We called in around 11 and were originally told the wait would be about 35-45 min, but they called us just a little over 15 min later letting us know a table was ready for us. Everything we ordered was delicious. The beignets were airy and not dense at all - the matcha and black sesame mascarpone spreads were sooo good. I ordered the Hamburg curry and my friend opted for the mushroom chazuke. We both really enjoyed our dishes. My friend also had the Yuzu-ade with added mango purée and it was really refreshing. Vi took care of us and service was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back to try their other dishes! read more

Wanted to try a brunch spot before visiting the zoo, and this place happened to be nearby! My bf and I came on a Saturday around 11:30, and the expected wait was 30 minutes. We ended up only waiting 15 minutes and opted for the outdoor seating since we were pretty hungry. The restaurant was really lively, and there was even a DJ playing in the background! The servers were incredible and very accommodating, recommending the duck and waffle to us! They always came by to make sure our bottles were refilled and helped us when we needed it. My biggest gripe with coming here at this time was not the initial wait to be seated, but the long wait for the food. We ordered three items: the beignets, duck and waffle, and the mushroom chazuke. We got the beignets first, 20 minutes after we ordered, and admittedly, they were very good. They were light and fluffy, and the black sesame and matcha cream were the perfect combo. I especially enjoyed the black sesame since it was extra nutty and had a unique texture that complemented the beignets perfectly. After we were done with the beignets, we waited an additional 30 minutes for the other two plates. At that point, we were so tired from waiting so long, and being outside in the hot sun with only an umbrella basically curbed our appetite quite a bit. I didn't mind sitting outside, but I didn't realize it would be for almost an hour straight with no food in the heat. When the duck and mushroom chazuke came out, they were also pretty good, but I personally did not end up eating much from fatigue. The duck was tender and paired well with the waffles and sauce provided. I think it could've been crispier and was a little bit gamey, imho. As for the mushroom chazuke, it was nice to have a soup dish, but I also personally found it pretty salty (though it could also have been the fatigue talking). I think the kitchen was backed up on this day because, looking around, there were definitely more people waiting for their food versus actually eating it. We officially left the restaurant about 2 hours after we initially came, when it could've been an hour at most if the food had arrived in a timely manner. Overall, the food is good, but my experience with the wait this time around will likely deter me from coming here again. read more

One of the best breakfast experiences in SD! We went at opening on Saturday and what immediately caught my eye is you can really appreciate the interior design when the space is empty. We ordered the beignets to share and they are a must have! The black sesame dip is nutty and complements the simple subtlety of the beignet. My wife had the avocado toast and mango matcha for her order, I had the breakfast tartine and matcha americano. Definitely enjoyed the flavor of her drink, and the house-baked sourdough of the toast. The star of my meal was the candied bacon, slightly spicy and reminded me of chinese pork belly. The service was also excellent, we were checked on frequently but without disturbing our meal. Can't wait to come back and try everything on their menu, well done Between Us! read more

Had breakfast here and this place blew me away! I got the shakshuka from our server's recommendation, and my boyfriend got the breakfast tartine. The focaccia bread and the bread for the tartine were AMAZING!! We both wanted more. The fresh fish with the shakshuka was 10/10! Flavors perfectly balanced, poached eggs jammy and not overcooked, tomato sauce was just the right acidity. Probably one of the top most memorable breakfasts I've had! We were here on a Tuesday morning so it was quiet and service was great. Oh, and don't forget to get the matcha too! Highly recommend this place. It's clear that they really pay attention to detail and everything is made intentionally. Will definitely be back, especially to try the beignets! read more

I came back here thinking I'd try something new but the mushroom chazuke was calling to me and I had to answer. Still so good, and a little improved, they got the salt level down a little and it was perfect this time. It was super busy on a Sunday for brunch, totally different vibe from the weekday. We had a 35 minute wait around 11am, but the hostess was great and called us when our table was ready. Service was good, drinks came out fast, and prices were what you'd expect for brunch in this part of town. Street parking only. Great for anything from a casual brunch to a low key celebration brunch. I love this place! read more

I enjoyed a great avocado toast from this new local eatery on a locally baked levain toast for $14. Between Us is just getting under way and are offering breakfast and lunch. The toast came with freshly sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, sliced radishes, a variety of locally sourced greens, and nice seasoning. Although it was delicious, I did think it was slightly undersized for the price. The toast is called the "Chunky Avocado Toast" on the menu. They make really good freshly squeezed orange juice as well. The young lady who took my order was very sweet and friendly. The place is quite spacious and offers a lot of good seating. They serve quality ceremonial matcha from Japan, bake most of their own breads from the menu items, and have kambucha on tap. This place is a great addition to North Park. read more

Beignets - solid puffiness and chewiness with a nice pop when I ripped it in half but not as good as NOLA ofc. Matcha paste paired super well. Curry - like Vermont curry so overpriced, patty is a little tough that it was a real struggle to cut into it at first. Fried rice - tomato rice tasted about right, bacon is thin and crispy. Overpriced idk man but it's like a really comforting dish. Tornado egg is good! Matcha - 6/10 Good food, good aesthetic, but definitely on the pricier end. read more

We stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday morning, and it was busy of course. Worth it, though! There are so many interesting things on the menu, it's hard to decide what to get! I opted for a strawberry matcha-while it was good, it was on the bitter side(which I don't mind) but if you prefer the sweet stuff, maybe order the matcha with some added sweetener! I also got the pancakes with lemon curd-I've never had this mix before and I was delightfully surprised! But the real star of the show for me-was the beignets! They had a matcha cream and a black sesame cream to dip them in. Both were sooooo good. I would come back for the beignets alone! read more

IG reels lured me with the beignets but the other dishes kept me coming back. Came here twice for brunch and the food/service were consistently on point. I swear the beignets were made from mochi flour because they're extra bouncy and loved eating them with both the sesame and matcha dipping sauces together. I've also had the fried maitake (texture of soft shelled crab if you didn't know it was mushroom), breakfast tartine, curry hamburg, steak and eggs, and mushroom chasuke. The curry was too overpowered by the tomato and pepper taste imo, but you honestly still can't go wrong with any of the menu items! I enjoyed the hojicha latte as well although I've had better elsewhere. read more

Service, vibes and food were great. We came on a Monday morning a little after opening and it was pretty empty. The favorites were the seasonal beignets with matcha and black sesame spread and the duck waffle. It's nice they offer complimentary sparkling or still water too. The black sesame latte that I got hot was alright, but the matcha tiramisu latte iced was nice and bitter in a good way. Curry Hamburg was a big portion. Overall delicious and their music playlist inside was on point. Street parking in the neighborhood. Fair prices for quality and sizes. Don't sleep on the beignets, they're hot and airy, delicious! read more

However, service was really great and we will come back here in the future. read more

Between Us has quickly become one of my favorite brunch spots in San Diego. The restaurant was bustling during Saturday brunch, but I was lucky enough to grab a seat at the counter overlooking the street. For larger groups, I highly recommend making a reservation. Service was impressively attentive despite the busy atmosphere. Plates were cleared promptly and glasses were consistently refilled. *Curry Hamburg: I was glad the curry had a bit of kick. The tornado egg was fluffy and soaked up the spices nicely. The mushrooms were cooked until tender, adding a deeper savory note to the rice. The whipped ricotta was light and contributed creaminess rather than tang. The portion size was generous as well. *Latke Egg Benedict: one of my favorite Benedict variations. The potato pancake was not too heavy and the pickled toppings balanced the richness. The smoked salmon was sweet and tender. As someone who loves acidity, I found the yuzu hollandaise added the perfect brightness to the dish. *Iced Matcha Latte: I ordered it with their seasonal fruit mixture. The matcha itself was well prepared, though I would have preferred less ice and milk. The base drink was not overly sweet, so the strawberry puree provided just the right touch of sugar. *Beignets: these were airy and chewy, with dough that was not overly sweet. The black sesame and matcha cream paired beautifully with them. The creams could have been a bit firmer, but the nutty and earthy flavors were impressive. A delicious option to share. The Asian-inspired flavors blended seamlessly with American brunch classics. I already find myself craving the beignets and Benedict on a regular basis. read more

Found this place as I googled a brunch spot. It was a lot bigger than I thought, good thing we had reservations on a Saturday mid AM as the place was packed and people in line outside. Parking was a bit of a nightmare so get there early enough as you might need to circle a bit, esp on weekends. Wide array of Asian / International inspired brunch options - opted for the duck+waffle with guava peach syrup (yum!), curry hamburg w beef patty (homey and very filling), along with the popular Matcha Latte tiramisu and a refreshing hibiscus yuzu-ade. See a lot of tables ordering the fresh beignets with black sesame marscapone and matcha cream but unfortunately no room in our tummies this time around. Would def come back to try other options in the future. Food was good, service was great as well and love the vibes. read more

This place is so cute! Definitely for the cutesy Instagram stories, but would not recommend for the food or drinks. Staff was very friendly and helpful with questions on the menu. They do get quite busy so service can slow down. The tiramisu and salted maple matcha lattes were very lackluster and just tasted like milk. Cookie crunch french toast was also not to my liking because of the lemon curd, but that's personal preference! Potatoes, however, were so crispy and so delicious. Loved them! TLDR: Instagram aesthetics: 8/10; Food and drinks: 4/10; Service: 9/10 read more
