Kind of off the beach path location we were there with a group of girls and not the establishing us fault but our fault. One of our friends came late, but when they delivered our food and we kept asking for a server or someone to take our order it took about 15 minutes to get someone over to actually take the order. On Sunday at 11:30 it was not busy so take what you want. It's kind of off the beaten path but I like that. Lots of gluten-free options my friends are so thankful for that and you can have any of the French toast made into gluten-free. I had the burrito. It was amazing thanks to my server who suggested it I would just say this is a good staple if you need a nice outdoor seating chill vibe
Had brunch at Fig Tree Cafe for my friend's birthday and absolutely loved it! It wasn't my first time but it was his and he loved it! The vibe is so cute, especially with the outdoor seating and adorable decor. I got the mimosa flight, which was delicious, along with the Berry Sweet French Toast, bacon, and potatoes. The house potatoes are to die for, and the arugula potatoes were my first time trying them. I highly recommend them because they were so good! The staff was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive, which made the experience even better. Such a great spot for brunch with friends. Definitely recommend checking them out!
Came here for a classic brunch spot and left knowing I had the best apple fritter pancakes. Ambiance gives adult rainforest cafe vibes. Food portions for the classic breakfast was great. Would recommend the California breakfast burrito and Chipotle chilaquiles! For something sweet, please try the apple fritter and fig and ricotta French toast!!!
My mom and I came here on a Friday for breakfast. It wasn't that busy. I didn't know the restaurant was pretty much all outside and it was kinda cold. The heater went out halfway through our meal. I got the short rib benedict and my mom got the apple fritter & lemon curd pancakes. They were very yummy but sugary. The food was kinda cold so idk if it was sitting there for a bit before we got it. After we got our food, our server didn't check on us. We had to ask a different server for our bill. Mid food and bad service. I probably wouldn't come back.
Fig tree was amazing! I hadn't been back in years and it's nice to see the food is still super good, service is friendly and the place is so cute and clean! I ordered a chai and the berries French toast and it was so good! Also got garlic fries on the side and it was heavenly. Highly recommend!
The pancake/French toast sampler was amazing. The apple fritter pancake was the best. I could eat that forever. The fig and ricotta french toast was very delicious. The lemon pancake was also very good but my least favorite out of the three. I also got the short rib eggs Benedict which was very good. The short rib was tender and juicy. I didn't get much flavor from the hollandaise. I was not a fan of their ketchup because of its aftertaste. Maybe I'm just too used to ketchup. The service was ok, our waiter seemed to be busy and understaffed because we didn't see them for a while and had to get our own refills on water. The cafe was also kind of dark and there were some birds flying around that we had to dodge. I would go back for that apple fritter pancake.
I took my Wife, mom and grandma here for mother's Day a week after mother's Day to beat the traffic. My grandma and mom just got regular eggs sausage and pancakes my wife got the lemon curd pancakes I got a turkey meatloaf pesto hash. My hash was good but it was all one note it needed something to cut thru, my grandma and mom enjoyed their plates but my wife didn't enjoy her lemon curd pancakes the lemon was to strong and she had to wipe it off . I will go back and pick other items cause they do have a nice menu and the customer service was good.
My husband and I stopped in for breakfast a couple weeks ago and had a great time. We were sat right away which was super lucky for a Saturday morning. Our server was super nice and helpful. We both really enjoyed our meals and drinks. Love that the entire place is indoor/outdoor. Super cute vibe with all of the plants and unique furniture.
Talked myself into walking by and trying some breakfast. Def a disappointment, trucker cafe style food. Only thing fresh were the eggs, hopefully not the cheapest eggs on the market but probably so. I had the American, it came with the thinnest bread ever, was supposed to be sourdough, they str8 lied, thinking cuz its white its sourdough, nahhhhh it wasnt. I dont like the no chicken sausage option, possible too pricey for them. I expected more but it def gives off that 'no one cares' feel. Cruise by Second Nature for some legit cooking ingredients.
New to the area and I've walked by Fig Tree Cafe everyday! My mom came to visit and I decided it was the perfect time to try it! The cafe is cute and quaint. Very Boho surfer vibes. Service was great! The manager came by to say hi and check on us. I was so excited to see that they had shakshuka on the menu so I had to order it! The poached eggs were cooked to perfection and the sauce was incredible. It also came with Pita bread. My Mom ordered the short rib Benedict with foccia bread and the meat was tender and delicious. Everything was great and I will definitely be returning.
Great cafe down the block from our AirBnB. Great outdoor vibe, delicious food, varied menu and nice staff. We had the breakfast sandwich with sausage, short rib Benedict, lemon ricotta pancakes and vegan crispy cauliflower with soy chorizo, vegan egg and hollandaise sauce. Breakfast potatoes were awesome.
Had breakfast here with my mom and her dog, which worked out perfectly because the patio is super dog-friendly. We grabbed a table outside--it's such a cute setup. Even though it's totally open-air, the trees and plants make it feel kind of tucked away and cozy. I ordered the chipotle chilaquiles and WOW. So good. The sauce had just the right amount of kick, and the chips stayed crispy--not that sad, soggy mess you sometimes get. My mom got the Benedict and liked it too, but I definitely won that round. Also had a honey lavender latte and now I'm obsessed--wish I had one right now honestly.
Solid Brunch Spot with Some Hits and One Miss cute, plant-filled patio vibe drew us in right away. It's got that relaxed PB charm, perfect for a casual weekend brunch. I went for the Crispy Pork Belly and Grits, and wow, the pork belly was absolutely perfect in my book: super juicy, incredibly flavorful, and that ideal fatty crispiness that makes it indulgent without being overwhelming. The grits were a totally new thing for me, and the first few bites were amazing--rich and tasty. But halfway through, the sauce started to feel a bit too heavy and salty for my taste (it was pretty drenched), so I didn't finish it all. I get that it might appeal to folks who love bold, savory flavors, though! My husband got the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which he really enjoyed--crispy exterior, juicy inside, well-seasoned, and overall flavorful. Solid choice. We added a side of Thick Cut Bacon, and honestly, this was the only real disappointment. It wasn't thick at all, and the flavor came off like a weird experiment with clashing seasonings that just didn't work together. Skip this one. To end on a high note, we shared the Berry Sweet French Toast, and it was delicious--not overly sweet, just the right balance to hit the spot and leave us satisfied. Overall, a good experience with some standout dishes. Service was friendly, and the outdoor seating is lovely.

The most charming brunch spot in PB! Entering Fig Tree Cafe feels like going into a hidden oasis. The decor and layout is a bit funky, a lot beachy, and super San Diegan. There's a bunch of seating options in the front and back- countless tables and quirky booths. We tried out their Shakshuka, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, and a Hibiscus Lemonade to wash it all down. Everything was so yummy and affordable! The portions were a good size and we all left feeling satisfied. Their menu has a pretty good spread of brunch items, so we will be back to explore and peruse the rest of it! read more

Tucked away in the heart of Pacific Beach, Fig Tree Cafe is the kind of charming little gem you stumble upon and immediately want to keep coming back to. The outdoor seating captures a breezy, beachy-paradise feel, while the cozy indoor area offers a snug retreat for anyone craving a bit more shade and shelter. Soft music and quaint decor tie the whole space together, perfectly echoing the laid-back coastal vibe of the neighborhood. Whether you lean savory or sweet, the menu has plenty to tempt you, and the service was warm and attentive throughout. My boyfriend ordered the American breakfast while I opted for the seasonal veggie omelet with an added helping of jack cheese. I'm usually a devoted meat lover, but the seasonal veggies sounded too good to pass up, and I'm so glad I took the leap. The omelet arrived fresh, fluffy, and utterly delicious, the cheese and vegetables melding together so beautifully that I never once missed the meat. The American breakfast was just as impressive, crowned with gorgeous over-easy eggs whose bright orange yolks practically glowed. The house potatoes were savory and satisfying, and the fig jam paired with warm sourdough was an absolute standout, sweet, rustic, and completely irresistible. I'm knocking off one star since the server who brought our food dropped a piece of toast and, oddly, never replaced it. That aside, the coffee cake we ordered came out piping hot and was the perfect companion to a good cup of coffee. read more

Fig tree is a cute little restaurant. The food was okay, the potato's were dry and the eggs Benedict were good but nothing extraordinary. Our server was pretty bad, she kept forgetting about refilling our drinks and quite frankly, she wasn't very nice. The atmosphere It's really cute! read more

Cute and delicious brunch spot! Perfect to sit outside in the sun. My friend got the breakfast sandwich - the brioche bun was amazing. I got the veggie omelette, the goat cheese was a great addition. The gluten free toast was not my favorite, a bit too thin and crispy. The chai latte is a must! Service was quick and friendly. We'll be back! read more

First time coming in here after a marathon we ran, though they did have a wait time due to the overall people that came in that day, IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! I ordered the steak Benedict and boy the food was GREAT! The setting, the vibe was there! Only issue is the parking, if by any chance you come in like the day we came in, you'll have a hard time looking for a spot, but other than that, will totally comeback here! read more

Hi Jenre!…
The main entrance is gorgeous. The giant fig tree is enormous. Our server, Mark, was on top of everything. We ordered the french toast/pancake sampler with lemon ricotta pancakes, lemon strawberry french toast, and berry sweet french toast. It was delicious, especially the lemon strawberry french toast. My husband loved the crispy pork belly & grits. Thank you Mark for the recommendation. We tried a traditional breakfast, as well as the short rib sandwich. Our food runner, Axel, was super nice as well. The manager, Eva, and hostess, Maggie were also very friendly. The restrooms were clean also. We will definitely come back on our next visit. read more
Wowwww. This was amazing. Every single item ordered was delicious. 100% would come back for the breakfast trio and try some more of these sweet pancakes and French toasts. Worth the sugar rush! Staff were friendly and service was quick. Vibe here is fantastic. Highly recommend. read more

Cute weekend brunch spot. Lots of outdoor seating and dog friendly. Staff has been top notch every time I've been here. The breakfast sushi, burrito and Benedict's are all solid choices. Tried the French toast sampler for the first time and the fig jam ricotta was perfection! Until next time! read more

We had a great waiter Jake. Friendly and good service. My second time here first time for my husband. We just dropped our youngest son at the airport and stopped in on the trip home. I got the breakfast sushi. I had it my first time here and really like it. I also wanted the apple fritter pancakes so my husband was nice enough to order them so I could have both. The pancakes are delicious and I would recommend them. Happy we have leftovers of both for breakfast tomorrow. Glad they had fly fans for the tables so we had no problems. read more

Fig Tree cafe is a solid and affordable breakfast/brunch option in PB. It has a very crunchy granola aesthetic. The food was decent, nothing extraordinary but good prices and hefty portions. Service was also good. Definitely recommend checking it out for the atmosphere read more

Reliable brunch spot :) my favorite part is probably the ambiance of their outdoor seating. Feels like you're in a tree! lol. I've been a couple of times, and I'll say their egg breakfast dishes are average. Nothing amazing but no complaints. What I had for the first time though was their crispy pork belly with Gouda grits... OMG. I did feel my arteries being clogged by the dish but it was fabulous. Really makes me want to try more of their niche dishes. Their breakfast drinks/lattes are really good to me...but the coffee drinker I was with said their latte barely tasted like coffee but it was a yummy dessert just fyi. Also my chai flavor was good but it was almost room temperature when it arrived. read more
Very cute cafe with cozy wooden covered outdoor area! Nice lights and decor and casual ambiance. Servers were very friendly and kind! The drinks came quickly, food took a bit but must meant it was fresh! The rose latte was very nice and had good balance of coffee and rose flavor. Got the traditional Benedict, the focaccia was nicely toasted, the egg yolk was runny and the potatoes were nice and crispy. Hoped there'd be a bit more flavor but filling and solid meal! read more

Was looking forward to my first visit here. Service is far below average. At the hostess stand. We waited 5 minutes. The place looked empty. I thought they were closing up for the day. Food is average. The egg frittata was not fully cooked and they took it back. We waited 20 minutes, no one told us what was going on with the meal. The chili quillas eggs also average. Will not go back. Too many youngsters serving the guests and are more interested in chatting together in the back. read more

This place is super cute with lots of outdoor seats. Really good Bloody Mary and the food here is also really good. I got the breakfast sandwich and the bread was perfectly toasted and the flavor was super balanced. Would definitely come back and get this again. Only critique is that the food came out super slow. I was almost done with my drink before the food came out. But besides the slow service our server was super friendly and we got seated super quick and the food came out hot and super delicious. read more
