The line moves pretty quick and there's plenty of seating in and around the cafe, plus some great spots right by the beach. I ordered the French toast with bacon, my wife got a burrito, both were so freaking good. Simple, solid breakfast done really well. Super popular for a reason. Great food, great location, and a fun beachy vibe. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Parking was straightforward with a small lot and plenty of paid street spots nearby. Dakotah took great care of us. She handled our group's quirky requests with total composure, checked in at all the right times, and even sent a couple of coworkers off with to-go refills. The food was outstanding. One of my coworkers ordered the Poke Bowl Surf Shack, and it looked as good as it tasted -- bright, fresh ingredients piled around a scoop of rice and a side of spicy mayo. Another went for the Surfer Breakfast Burrito, which came with black beans and a choice of salsas. I had the Oklahoma Onion Smash Burger with bacon, served with crispy fries and a cold Mexican Coke. Everything at the table landed well. Coffee was excellent, too. They also add a 5% hospitality fee to the bill, which seems to be a growing trend in San Diego. Overall, a great spot for brunch with friendly service, good vibes, and food that delivers. I'd happily come back.

Checked out this location for a Saturday brunch that did not disappoint…read more It was a packed house with an efficient staff and seating for parties of all sizes. Light, airy and full of colors. We ordered the French toast to split, also try the French sticks if you don't want the toast. The menu has something for every flavor. My friend had The G.O.A.T. and I had the Papas Locas. Both were good portions so come with an appetite.

This place has Big Pretzel energy and I'm here for it…read more We're no longer your typical PB customers anymore, trading in day-drinking for mid-day lunches with our doggo, toddler, and family in town (and maybe a few drinks, but far less than 15 years ago!). We've been here twice this month with different out-of-town family members and both times our servers (Lynda and Ryan) were on point. Throw in the two managers (woman with dark hair, guy with a fun pink golf polo) were there to assist when we thought it was going to rain. Menu is diverse and something for everyone (or most). Beer and beverage list are great. Ample seating in different areas makes for a great experience. If this was 15 years ago we'd be bellying up to the bar to watch games or chill after a day at the beach. I'm sure it's a great place when the sun goes down. But for now, we're on a different page of the life book and I'm glad there's some reading material here for us to enjoy!

I'm also sometimes weary of places that are "Instagram worthy" or that I would discover on TikTok but this didn't disappoint. My husband got the breakfast burrito and it was a great twist on a San Diego classic without sacrificing the most important part (the tortilla, obviously). I got the swell bowl and it was a great start to the day, while the littles loved their pastries. For a place that does not seem to have a full kitchen, you wouldn't know from the food that came out. This will be going into the rotation for visits back home!

We got lucky with a table of 6 opening up but otherwise looked like every table was taken. Took about 30 mins to move through the line to order & 30 mins to get food but otherwise not too bad, there were signs with time warnings. I got the chicken & waffles, was so pleased they were gluten free! Friend ordered the same but they forgot to take off the peppers for her allergy. Such a cute nature forward space, would be a great spot to work from home however, they have no outlets. Would go again to try their cafe drinks!

Sunday morning: Line out the door, kind staff, beautiful decor, high vibes, great fresh food that makes you feel great. None of the colors in my photo were enhanced, this is just what it looks like! Only thing is that there is a bit of a wait after ordering, especially for smoothies. I would preorder or deliver if you're in a rush! Will definitely come back next time I'm in Pacific Beach. Great spot for first/second dates, I think I saw 3 while I was sitting there LOL

The line moves fast so if you're in a rush you'll be fine. I got a cold brew, and a breakfast burrito with bacon. It comes with Pico, potato's, egg, and beans.

My child loved the view, access to the sandy beach, and the bacon, smoothie and donut holes. Overall the staff were professional, and quick!

We stopped by Waterbar on Christmas Eve for a drink before dinner. We stay down in PB for the…read moreholidays every year, and have seen this place since it first opened. Last year around this time we peeked our head in to see the space, but didn't stay. Located upstairs, the venue is large and well-lit, with windows overlooking Pacific Beach and the boardwalk. When we arrived, we were greeted by a local patron at the bar. He noticed my 49ers hat and made a joke about keeping me and the owner away from each other, because he is also a Niners fan. Immediately loved the vibes. There were a decent amount of people there for it being Christmas Eve, but it was still pretty open. We were seated at a long high-top table for our group of 7, with one kid. The restaurant was all decorated for the holidays, and they had a pop-up situation with some fun themed drinks and even a giant inflatable igloo for people to play in! We ordered a variety of beverages, many from the "Tinsel & Tides" menu, including the Candied Cranberry Punch, Maple Smoked Old Fashioned, and Spiced Peartini. All of which were fun, and received positive feedback on taste. In addition to the holiday drinks, they have quite an extensive list of around 14 cocktails, and 2 mocktails. The cocktail prices range from $15 - $18, and even have fun little photos on the menu next to the description. They have a section of 6 specialty margaritas, over a dozen canned beverage options, and over 2 dozen beverages on draft. You can find an entire page of wine options. From bubbles, to rosé, to whites and reds. You can buy it by the glass or the bottle. Beyond drinks, there's a nice looking food menu. Mostly seafood and Asian inspired, the menu featured items such as crispy calamari, crab Rangoon dip, ahi tuna poke, ceviche, sashimi, and various sushi rolls. There are several soup and salad options, as well as a dozen or so entree options, and a half dozen side dishes such as fries, coleslaw, veggies, and mac & cheese. There's also a brunch menu, which is available Saturday & Sunday from 9am - 2pm, and includes some boozy drink options like a Bloody Mary and bottomless mimosas. There are around 8 entree options, and another 8 or so brunch themed sides. While we didn't get to try the food this time around, the menu looked good enough that we are planning to come back for a legit meal. There is an "Oyster and Martini Wednesday" from 3pm to close, where oysters are 50% off, and martinis are $10. We happened to be there on a Wednesday, however the deal wasn't applicable due to the holiday. Our server, Destiny, was friendly and helpful with info and drink recommendations. The vibes were great here, and everybody was very welcoming. This is definitely a place we'll be adding to the regular rotation during our trips to PB! IG: @bbnem.eats

I got a vanilla cold brew and the California breakfast sandwich. The sandwich portions are huge, so make sure to come hungry.
