    This is certainly not what I ordered. The game is ice cold.
    Ken L.

    This is one of my go to spots for SDCC. A lot of options to choose from. I do want to warn you that they get your order wrong. Today I got the Mama Alicia Coddled Breakfast Crossanwich. I asked for no bacon but add sausage. I cannot eat pork as I get bad stomach issues sadly. The guy I ordered from kept saying bagel and I would say no Croissant and I showed him the menu. He told me it's a new menu. The. I looked at my receipt and it said bagel so I had to go back and tell him. It also cost more than what it is posted. I got my food and back in line to find that I got ice cold ham and no Avocado, Tomato and Cream Cheese. Oh well. Last year I waited forever for my breakfast burrito and it was completely wrong. Oh well right?

    Look no further for great sandwiches! I ordered a classic turkey sandwich and it was so fresh. It's also such a convenient spot since it also has a wide selection of drinks and snacks.

    For having spent a lot of time in San Diego, I haven't spent much time downtown. So I went for a wander for a bit of breakfast and actually went in because I saw they had drinks and snacks. When I walked in, I could smell the deli so I had to try it. Even though I knew it would be too big, I went for the Breakfast Burrito. I went for just bacon because all the meats seemed a bit much. It comes with tomatoes, peppers, and onions. They also asked if I wanted salsa, which of course I did. It was made fresh and it was delicious. I didn't manage to finish the whole thing but it was so filling! I definitely want to come back and try their other sandwiches. The staff were really friendly as well.

    It's basically a liquor store slash bodega slash deli slash convenience stores slash whatever you call it in your area lol It's a great place especially for breakfast during comic con as you can get a lot of fresh breakfast items like sandwiches or bagels or burritos or even salads along with other items like soda, chips, ice cream, snacks for your comic con needs But I can see this also as your local go to place to grab a good sized meal for your lunch as well Service was standard and the ambience is a bit messy it could use a cleanup or tidy up honestly but it's fine

    Great value, friendly people. I had a breakfast sandwich and coffee, great price and delicious

    Veggie Sandwich (add bacon because yum!)

    Great little (actually not that little) deli, convenience items, liquor....oh and ice cream! Been in multiple times and generally really great service. Fun energy. Got a sandwich made for the first time and it was huge. Full of fresh veggies and crispy bacon. I couldn't finish it. Made by a sweet woman who definitely puts love into these sandwiches!

    Wow this place is amazing. It's a liquor store slash convenience store slash deli! The Ham egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was made fresh and was delicious! The location was great for us since we stayed at the Hilton Gaslamp across the street. Do not pass by this place based on appearance!

    WHEN: Thursday @1pm It's a damn shame I have no written a Yelp review for Cine Cafe. My apologies :( I used to go here every year for San Diego Comic-Con. This has been my number one go to for lunch for a few reasons: + Hecka bomb sandwiches + They also sell alcohol + THERE IS NO LONE LINE FOR FOOD + Prices are reasonable But its been awhile due to the pandemic. However, since I decided to vacation in San Diego, I thought I still swing by for my usual sandwich: NEW YORK - $11.99 Corned Beef, Pastrami, Swiss, Sauerkraut, 1000 Island & Mustard. Although its not as hefty as I remember, it's still a solid sandwich. Slightly warm and so full of flavor and dressing. PERFECT. I love this sandwich so much. I noticed they've renovated the place to a new layout with new LCD screens for menus. They all sorts of things you'd find in a convenient store. Staff is always friendly and prices are reasonable for the area. Hope to see you again soon!

    Walking distance from our hotel. Before calling it a night, we went in to buy some water, chips and booze. Okay so far, not that busy. Social distancing and masks are required.

    This place was a combo of corner street liquor store, bodega and convince store all in one. It was a close walk to the convention center and most of the hotels. I went in pretty early in the morning to pick up breakfast and lunch as I was going to have a busy day. The breakfast burrito was massive but so good. Highly suggest if you want a filling and tasty start to your day. I also picked up a BBQ wrap and it was also pretty good, I can't rate as accurate because I ate when cold after a few hours but even then pretty solid at room temp. But if it was anything like the breakfast when hot I'm sure it would have been great. Only comment I will make is that it was very obvious the woman in the back making the food needed some help so if there are a lot of people I would expect it to be slow.

    Excellent food, located near convention center and went during Comic Con and just off the beaten path so it wasn't jammed with people.

Parking is a bit of a pain bit of you are in waking distance or come early enough it shouldn't be an issue. Sometimes they run out of items if you come later in the day. They have a special Bagel of the month, so make sure to ask what it is. They have several bagel flavors, and different flavor cream cheese spreads. I love the habanero bagel, it's one of my favorites, but just be warned it is very hot. Definitely don't eat it without something cold to drink. They also have a breakfast sandwich called the San Diego which is a favorite of several people I know. You chose the bagel you want it with and they add fried eggs, bacon, cheese and aioli. I highly reccomend it. I've not had a lot of their deinis, but i did order the cinna-bee which has honey, cinnamon, espresso and milk. I thought it was good and would order it again. Definitely check them out and try some of their bagels, or perhaps one of their sandwiches.

    The award for BEST coffee during my recent trip to San Diego easily goes to Spill the Beans Coffee…read moreand Bagels. I tried several coffee shops along Seaport Village--some stood out for creative flavors, others for strong espresso--but Spill the Beans nailed the perfect balance every single time. We went back multiple times, and the consistency was impressive. My go-to was an iced "Basic Sitch" with oat milk, while my husband loved the warm "Cinna-bee." Both were incredible. The espresso quality was top-tier, and the drinks were made quickly without sacrificing flavor. Our only regret? Discovering this place halfway through the trip. Had we found it sooner, we would've been there every single day. This review is solely based on the coffee, as we didn't get a chance to try their breakfast sandwiches, though the options looked appetizing. This particular location isn't a fully built-out coffee shop, but it's perfect for grabbing your drink and taking a stroll along Seaport Village or, enjoying it at a nearby bench or outdoor seating area.

    Finally got to try this cute Japanese cafe we saw on TikTok, and it did not disappoint!…read more Service: [5/5] The two girls who helped us were so sweet and made the whole experience. We were seated at the bar, which ended up being such a vibe--we got to chat with the girl behind the bar and watch her make lattes and desserts right in front of us. That kind of interaction really sets this place apart. Price: [4.5/5] It's on the pricier side, but honestly it feels fair given the quality of food you're getting. You can taste where your money is going. Food/Drinks: [5/5] Matcha Latte -- We shared one, extra sweet at my request, and it was perfect. Exactly what I was hoping for. Chef Soichi's Karaage -- We had this as an appetizer and my boyfriend made a point to say this is the closest he's had to traditional Japanese karaage. High praise from someone who's passionate about his Japanese culture. Hayashi Omurice -- This is their most popular dish and it's easy to see why. The demi-glaze has a really unique flavor that ties the whole dish together beautifully. This was my pick and I'd order it again without hesitation. Guratan -- My boyfriend's order, and it was incredibly creamy and delicious. We were both too stuffed for dessert by the end, which says a lot about the portion sizes. Ambience: [5/5] The restaurant is small, but honestly that's part of what makes it so charming. Pink everywhere with wooden accents and cherry blossoms throughout (very fitting)--it's cozy, homey, and just really well put together. The intimate size adds to the appeal rather than taking away from it. Overall Experience: [5/5] Hatsuzakara was such a wonderful first experience. Yes, we waited about 30 minutes to be seated arriving at 7:30 on a Friday night but for a waitlist-only spot this small, that's actually a pretty reasonable wait by San Diego standards. The food, the atmosphere, and the staff more than made up for it. Already looking forward to coming back to try the curry and work through their dessert menu.

    This Japanese restaurant is so cute and pretty!! The servers also add to the Japanese vibe~…read more The menu is pretty easy to navigate. I feel like everything looked really good, so it was hard to decide what to order. The dishes have small portion size despite the price. I think this kinda helps in that you have room to eat dessert! The brown sugar Okinawa tea was good but the after taste of the sugar was not good. They kept the tea pot warm, and they served oat milk on the side. Karaage had too much chicken skin for my preference. Guratan was penne pasta and not macaroni as specified in the menu. Yakisoba could have used more chicken. Omurice had the more flavor and the egg was really good. I want to try naporitan next time because of the tomato based sauce. Of the desserts I tried, the parfait was most enjoyable because of the fruit with ice cream. The mushi pudding was good; it was the thick and "hard" type of flan. I want to try kakigori next time because I saw their shaved ice machine was legit. Parking - free street parking only. Be prepared to walk up/downhill. Credit card/apple pay accepted Bathroom is only one room in the back. THE SEAT IS WARM. This was a nice gem to find in this part of town.
