Fried green tomato sandwich
Haylee M.

I was definitely surprised by how spacious the place is and also how good their food is! Quite pricey though and some items may be fairly small for the price but definitely a good place for brunch! Came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon exactly at noon and there was actually no wait which is amazing. Had a nice spot outside on the patio and also brought our dog. This was a nice ambience for sure. Dulce de leche Chai latte was phenomenal! Husband got this one and he definitely made the right choice. There we asked for almond milk and were a little surprised that they charged an extra $1 for that. Not too bad though cuz that drink was delicious. Friends got the ibara mocha and raspberry mocha. But honestly, everyone agreed that the dulce chai latte was the best! Asparagus and roasted beet salad - 8/10 Honestly this was a really nice salad with flavors going really well together. We added some chicken on and it was a great source of protein. Chicken was not too oily and was also cooked really well. Only downside here for which I had to take off a major amount of points is the salad was actually very small. Quite expensive for the small portion size. Raspberry ricotta stuffed French toast - 10/10 This was absolutely amazing! Soft French toast with that raspberry compote and the ricotta filling on the inside was a really good combination. Quite a large amount of ricotta filling which was appreciated. Fresh berries on top were also abundant and overall a really good item on the menu. Fried green tomato sandwich Friend who was vegetarian got this and honestly we were both surprised how large the sandwich was! Really really good portion size with an abundant amount of filling inside. Also got some fries on the side which was nice. Value for money here. Salted Caramel Waffles Friends got this to share and nice how it was loaded up with pecans and bananas and came with Chantilly cream on the side as well. I think they quite enjoyed it because they finished everything on the plate.

Brioche Breakfast Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Sweet brunch gem right across from the Solana Beach Amtrak station. Parking was pretty tight and small behind their lot, so I'd suggest parking along the street nearby. Waited a bit for walk-in dining, so I'd recommend joining the waitlist first. Food was fresh & delicious, if a bit simple, especially the sides. I did enjoy the maple chicken sandwich, crispy outside and juicy inside. Service was a bit hit & miss. I'll chalk it up to a busy weekend since our server did look a bit rundown even though it was only noon. Overall, I'll try this spot again and since I do want to try their other brunch specialties, especially the sweet ones.

Great breakfast, service is friendly. Plenty of parking. There's a coffee shop for take away orders. Not cheap but nothing is around here

So yummy!! Always a fun place to go. I love seeing all the dogs outside. The staff are very kind and helpful. Claire's had been a favorite of mine since I was a kid.

Such a cute little place. Small inside with a larger outside eating area. Along with a quick takeout coffee area. Came for the fried green tomatoes yet they were out. Settled for the white chicken chili which was perfect for the chilly day. A pistachio cortado went well. Wish I had saved some to dip the cookies they gave with the bill. Service was quick and pleasant.

Tuscan Benedict
Gale R.

Great menu and food choices. The Tuscan Benedict was fantastic with bacon. It's really unique that it served on a delicious risotto cake. I have also gotten the short rib Benedict previously which is also delicious. The Greek yogurt with açai is very refreshing. We also sampled the lemon ricotta pancake, which was fluffy and yummy! The divorciado was savory and awesome with salsa verde and pico de gallo. Our table also shared the salted caramel waffle which was delicious . The coffee drinks are great too ! Service was superb and friendly. Very helpful when you can't decide what to order any ambience is cozy and intimate!

Waffles & bacon
MiKall D.

What a perfect cafe. Given the number of reviews for Claire's, I expected this to be a cafe with loud signage and in a location heavily trafficked. But it's not. Which I loovveeed! Though it's clearly very popular, and for good reason, it still feels quaint and undiscovered. Like a secret oasis. Well done!

Tuscan eggs benedict with sausage and hashbrowns
Mikayla G.

Went for a late brunch/lunch. Make sure you put your name on the waitlist before you go! Otherwise be prepared to wait a while. It's in a great location on Cedros with lots of parking across the street. The food was great! I got a hot chai latte that was one of the best I've had. The Tuscan benedict was good, but the tomatoes slightly overpowered it. However the hash browns were perfectly crispy. One thing that was disappointing was our server. They were busy and the host told us they were understaffed(part of the long wait), however our server, Jenna, was not friendly. We were overly nice and not demanding, but we never even saw a smile. Disappointing

Green Scamble
Allison L.

Claire's is consistently a great spot for brunch. My family has been coming here since they opened. When we have time we sit down in the restaurant for a relaxed meal. The Green Scramble is my go to meal at Claire's. I also request berries on the side and they are very fresh. The salmon Benedict my son tried during our last visit was delicious as well. We go lucky on a weekday and did not have a wait. There is typically a 30+ minute wait for a table. If you don't have time for a sit down mean, the walk up cafe has some delicious options. I particularly like this spot after a long walk in the area. With new walking paths available this is a convenient meeting spot with friends.

Angus Short Rib & Hash Brown Potato Cakes
Kevin H.

This place is amazing! Came here on a Wednesday at around 1020 am and there was a small line forming. We got seated almost immediately. However when we got our food, there was definitely a line. A lot of people come here for brunch and there are people of all ages here. Their servers here are super nice. The food here is what I enjoyed the most. This place gives me a fancy breakfast vibe. We got the Angus Short rib & hash brown potato cakes and the waiter was nice enough to split it into two plates (we were sharing). The French toast is also a must. The food tasted so good. I will be coming back

This place is a gem! We ordered eggs Benny with salmon and hashbrowns and the eggs were cooked perfectly over easy. It was Sunday around 2pm so there was an hour left until closing. We started with their pancake and they were so custard tasting almost like a creppe, delicate and light...the bacon and eggs were cooked perfectly crispy and over easy on my meal as well. There are pictures to prove it! We know Tom DeLonge loves this place and we agree with him so much! Thanks

This is one of my Most Favorite places !! The customer service was wonderful. They are always so attentive and helpful. Regarding recommendations as to what is most popular and what we might like. Adding or changing things is never an issue but it's all so perfect already.

It ice tea with pineapple juice. The decor is too cute. It's a mix with a farm cafe type of feel. Overall, we will keep dining here. Always great service, yummy food and good memories!

Of course with my luck, this dog starts shaking its fur and wagging its tail and ya fur flew all over the place and on my plate. Between the fly and fur fiasco, we're taking a break from this spot. -- And to the owners response below: We did find another restaurant with no flies or friendly dog hair in our food **besitos** ;)

Located just blocks away from the water and situated with an amazing view, Naked Cafe has nothing to hide but this hidden gem is off the well traveled highway 101 serving patrons inside and outside of their cozy bungalow-styled establishment. As you arrive (for many by foot), consider seating yourself at one of the many umbrella-shaded tables or venture inside to grab a seat. I saw a few folks with dogs so if you plan to come with your furry friend, the place seems to be well suited for them. For those looking to order takeout, simply walk up to the register and the staff will get you started. Their menu includes a variety of options like wraps, burritos, salads, bowls, tacos, pancakes, and other brunch-like items. Their drink menu is also extensive including alcohol like wines, mimosa and beer as well as coffees, teas and smoothies. You're bound to find something fitting that craving of yours or satisfying the nutrients needed for energizing your metabolism. I ended up ordering the pesto chicken wrap that also came with a side of chips. The wrap was loaded with succulent pieces of chicken and was very flavorful. The whole grain tortilla held up well throughout the meal and had good texture with each bite. The chips that came along were decent - had good crunch but lacked any kind of flavor. Fortunately the salsa came in clutch to kick things up a notch. The portions were also better than I had expected. The staff were friendly, efficient in placing our order and packaging it up, and thorough in fulfilling the order by including utensils and napkins as they handed the order to us. For takeout orders, they had given us an approximate wait time of 15 minutes and it was quite accurate. There wasn't much space to wait near the register so we ended up waiting near the front entrance near the sidewalk but after the 15 minutes, we made our way back to see that our order was in the process of getting packed up. Overall, Naked Cafe is a great spot to grab a light meal or lunch while soaking in so rays. With its open seating area covered only by the umbrellas at each table, you'll bask in the open air while consuming delicious plates made to order with fresh ingredients and healthy and sustainable options. For those with strict diets, you might want to seek this place out and see for yourself. The menu is anything but bare at Naked Cafe!

(editing to add this is a French-owned and Black-owned business, in case folks are looking!)…read more I usually come here when I'm doing errands on Cedros - and I usually just want to get my français on and order a café crème and a croissant. But today I needed a little extra je ne sais quoi because my morning was annoying, so I decided to splurge on lunch and not just a pastry here. I asked Steve, the (très beau et gentille!) co-owner what the quiche of the day was. There were two: one with jambon (ham) and one with épinards et fromage de chèvre (spinach and goat cheese). When I hesitated, he told me that the spinach one was amazing. Even though it's $20 for a quiche plate, I decided to go for it. I thought I was going to get a sad little quiche slice for that amount and might regret it. But OMG, it was more than worth it! Already they have a lovely patio on this pretty street in this fancy design district. But it was also a HUGE and exceptionally savory rectangular slice, alongside a DELECTEABLE petite salade. I asked Steve what mustard they use in the vinaigrette, and he said plain old Dijon - but the proportions and the seasoning were EXCELLENT. So it was salad perfection, not heavily dressed at all, just delightful. The patio was full on a Friday with ladies who lunch - but did that include me, as a solo diner, since I am a lady who had lunch? I'm not sure, but you can feel comfortable here no matter what. And now I know Madeleine Cafe is much too good to just come for coffee and for ordering in French from Steve or his co-owner Emmanuel. I don't want to spend that much for lunch every day - but I'll be back!
