I was sat without any menus, the server came by and asked if I was ready to order after waiting 10 minutes. I explained my situation, and he was quick to remedy it. My friend joined me, we ordered drinks and food. After 20-25 minutes our server comes by with our check, we quickly explained we haven't even eaten yet. He was surprised, in which we were surprised because he's been serving us. He then, goes to the kitchen, brings our food, in which you can tell it's been sitting under heat for quite some time. My friend's eggs, are beyond yellow, and my bread is hard as a rock. He later comes around and asks how it was. I explained that our food was cold and over cooked. He replies, if there's anything WE want him to do. I responded yes, something would be nice. So he offered free refills and left his toast handheld for us to pay. He never came by to pick it up, nor our dirty dishes for that matter lol. I work hospitality and I'll never dine at this location again; HORRIBLE! read more

Really enjoyed Fig Tree Cafe. Pros: Coffee cake was AMAZING Decently priced Delicious gluten free options! Cons: Super busy plan to wait at least an hour or get there super early. Service is okay, our waitress stopped checking in on us. read more

Amazing breakfast sampler plate! It was our first time there and we'll certainly go back. The reason for the 4 rating vs a 5 was the service from the bar and kitchen was somewhat slow. read more

Came here for brunch and it was very underwhelming. The wait time for the table wasn't too bad, maybe like 20 minutes but when we got sat, it took a while for our server to come and take our order. After we placed our order, our drinks took 10-15 minutes and then our food took another 20 minutes. We got the meatloaf hash, lemon ricotta french toast, breakfast sandwich, huevos rancheros, and spicy chicken sandwich. The huevos rancheros were very bland which is odd since huevos rancheros should be flavorful. They also forgot the avocado for the huevos rancheros. My breakfast sandwich was okay. The eggs were the best part for sure but the potatoes lacked so much flavor. There was no seasoning on them, not even salt. My friend and I had to dump cholula sauce on our food to make it taste a little better. As for the spicy chicken sandwich, it was alright but it was small. The meatloaf hash was not good either though. As for the service, our server was super nice but we couldn't find her for most of the time. In all honestly, I don't think I'll go back here. read more

The water service was stellar. Water is provided quickly to the table and refills are frequently provided. The mason jar aesthetic adds to the experience. read more

Fig Tree Cafe - Water - Sandwiches Near Me - Pacific Beach, California

This place is located in a residential area. There is enough parking on the street. Expect a long wait time (45 to 90 mins ) on weekends. We were there at 10am and had to wait for 45 mins to get the seat and another 45mins to get the food ! The ambience and vibe is amazing . It is set up under a big (fig?) tree. Servers were very friendly and nice I ordered an anti oxidant mimosa, lobster and blue crab cake Benedict and man candy. Drinks came soon but food took 45 minutes ( I would have given this place a 5 star if the wait time for the food was shorter ) Mimosa was very good. Lobster and blue crab cake Benedict was awesome, man candy was good too. It was a great breakfast experience overall. Would definitely go back when I'm in San Diego again . I am going to ditch the other very popular breakfast place ( that doesn't have egg benefits on the menu !!) in San Diego in favor of this one. :) read more

Breezy brunchin'!! I had previously went to the Hillcrest one about five years ago so it was interesting to come back and try the PB one and compare. The wait time was about twenty minute around 10am which was worth the wait. However the service was blah with the long wait for the drinks as the server tried to make an excuse say there was only one guy at the bar. It was the LONGESTTTT wait ever for drinks which was no bueno, waaa felt forgotten and that was lame. Minus a star for that. Breakfast: Grilled Turkey Sandwhich (turkey, bacon, avocado, cheddar & mozarella cheese, tomato, grilled sourdough toast, garlic aioli)= yummy sandwich!! Amazing option as my whole group opted for benny's and I was the odd one out lol.. I had turkey goodness! Each bite was delectable and savory delight! This with parmesan truffle fries... MmMM the fries were so friggin' delish.~ The whole menu is so diverse from food and drinks. The location is in the area of North PB and has a nice outdoor vibe. My group had a secluded area semi-private that was awesome near the front entrance behind the front diners sort of center and separate from the main dining area where we stepped aside to go inward it was really cool like a world of our own. I loved the ambiance, and delightful grub. The atmosphere is so awesome which made for an enjoyable experience with the open and airy backyard vibes. The drink I got also paired perfectly which was the lavender mimosa. :) read more

Great vibes here! Angie was awesome, great customer service. Will 100% come back to fig tree read more

Ambience: Beautiful outdoor dining under a giant tree Service: Absolutely outstanding! Very attentive, never needed to search for our server, he was always checking in on us for anything we may need Food: May be the best breakfast I've ever had. The Lobster & Crab Cake Benedict was perfect. I added avocado and tomato, which really just added to the dish. The flavor and consistency of the meal was absolutely delicious!! I highly recommend upgrading your potatoes to the arugula/Parmesan/truffle ones - they're insanely good! Cannot wait to return here! read more

The food, drinks, and service here are the bomb. However, there's two reasons why I can't give it more than three stars. One: dogs at the "dinner table" is a big no-no. It's disgusting, especially when the people with the dogs coochie-coo it to death and then don't get up to wash their hands before eating. On top of that, customers next to them have to essentially have someone else's dog at their table. We're not talking service dogs here. More like insecurity dogs. Two: After 0845, expect a loud volume of twenty-somethings who have to be heard. Maybe if you get here while it's already loud it might not be so bad. Otherwise, best french toast in town. Get here early if you like great food and peace. There's a chill vibe before the big morning crowd shows up. I'll be back. read more

Fun and be achy vibe atmosphere. We sat at the bar, the bartender was very sweet and attentive. We ordered spicy sausage omelette, crab cake egg Benedict and the breakfast sushi. The breakfast sushi was interesting and fun to try. The s'mores latte was absolutely delicious. I'd definitely come back for brunch next time I'm in town. 4 stars. read more

Came here for lunch last week and loved it! Its decor and ambiance is great. Food and service were also top notch. I got the vegan Benedict which was surprisingly good and then we got a side of the candy bacon and coffee cake for dessert. Honestly I don't even like coffee cake and theirs was fire. Highly recommend this spot! PSA there's only street parking and it's in PB so that may be difficult on the weekends. Consider taking Uber or Bird instead. read more

Tried this breakfast spot on our way out of town yesterday. This place was highly recommended by a local. I had the French toast banana foster with a side of bacon. My guy had the steak and egg burrito which he said was amazing. The food was good, service was great, and we were able to get a glass mason jar as a souvenir. We also learned same owners as eggies, Eggies please bring back the glass jar French toast. read more

Found this beautiful gem on yelp. Order the French toast and get buzzed off the mimosas. As we walked into Fig Tree Cafe I was delighted to see all the plants! Super cool vibe. We were seated right away and our waiter was so attentive. We started with some water and a mimosa flight. The mimosa flight was great. It didn't taste like any artificial sweetener. The lavender was my favorite. As for food everything we ordered was Devine. I decided to be different and order the bahn mi eggs Benedict which is their special rn, I'm so glad i did!!! What an exotic twist on a traditional dish. My boyfriend ordered the meatloaf hash which was great. He enjoyed it! My mother in law ordered the best dish, the stuffed French toast!!!! It was so perfect, so soft, and so buttery. The sweetness of the fruit balanced the butter. The waiter even offered us to go cups for our leftover beers. :') management, thank you! What a great experience. What a gem 10/10 will return. read more

I really liked the restaurant atmosphere and food. A very pretty place to get brunch. It took me (party of 2) about an hour wait until we were brought to our table outside. It is dog friendly, so it does get kind of loud when dogs want to bark at each other, but it was no problem to me :) The food itself was very good, and although the orange juice seemed pricey for how much I got, it honestly was one of the best OJs I've had. However, I give this a 4 rating because of how long I had to wait for the food (about another 30-40 min) and when I got it, it was fairly cold/lukewarm. I would want to come here again since it was just my first time, and I'd still highly recommend it. read more

Fig Tree is my go to breakfast/brunch spot. Starting off, the coffee is always good. Whether you get the cold brew (delicious) or bottomless hot coffee, Fig Tree hooks it up with some delicious brew to get your day off and running. Their coffee mugs are fun too! I have been thoroughly impressed with every dish I have ever ordered. During my last visit I split the breakfast burrito with my wife. Personally, this is my favorite item on the menu. It has great flavor and is a big ole burrito with a side of potatoes. It was enough food for my wife and I to split. My friend ordered the same and wasn't able to finish (he's a big eater too). I have also had the huevos rancheros and French toast, both of which were amazing. Lastly, I'm a big fan of the set up of Fig Tree. Most of the seating is outside under the large Fig Tree the restaurant is named after. The rest of the seating has cool vibes and makes for an enjoyable meeting no matter where you are. There is some seating available under a roof if you want to visit on a rainy day. Overall, I highly recommend Fig Tree for breakfast or lunch. I've been pleased by every meal I've had and would label Fig Tree a go to for me! read more

I love Fig Tree Cafe. Good old hippy place... everything brown everything green- San Diego style. I like that it feels like a tree house and all the plants around. I've visited various times for breakfast. I like sitting at the bar when its just my husband and I. When we go with friends or family we get an actual table. It definitely gets crowded on the weekends so be prepared to wait! The line does move fast :) I'm a big, eggs benny girl- love me some Canadian bacon! It comes with potatoes- you can pay a little extra for truffle, arugula, parm cheese potatoes - which are pretty delicious. read more

Stopped by for brunch. Solid Bloody Mary! Also tried the chicken tahini salad and the banana foster French toast. The salad was spectacular. Nice size with a generous portion of moist, grilled chicken, crunchy pita, tahini and an overall very tasty dish. Banana foster French toast was also very good. Good portion size, not soggy and a nicely flavored topping of sautéed bananas in a sweet sauce. Also tried the man bacon, which is a a couple pieces of bacon with a coating of some sort of sweet sauce. The bacon could have been thicker and cooked more to get it a bit crispier. But good idea...We will definitely return, especially when it's not cold and raining. read more

You can't go wrong with anything here. Been a few times and have loved it every time. The berry french toast was delicious and not overly sweet, but you HAVE to get the Man Candy Bacon!!! Sooooo good. Wish we got more! read more

Probably my favorite brunch place as of lately. Absolutely love the atmosphere, dog-friendly environment, and delicious food! Have been here on several occasions and enjoyed almost every dish I've tried here. They even do their sides well - if your entree doesn't come with a side of their rosemary potatoes, I definitely recommend it. Their garlic fries are great as well. For entrees, I like to go for the simple breakfast platters and enjoy the "American" plate with three eggs your style, bacon, rosemary potatoes, and your choice of bread. It's a lot of food and the plate gives you a good variety. My boyfriend almost always gets something from the french toast menu. His favorite so far has been the Strawberry & Cream one. For brunch, they also have $5.25 bottomless coffee. There was a time the server even asked us if we wanted a to-go cup for the cup of coffee we were still working on, which I thought was nice of them to offer. If you ask for a dog menu, they also have a small menu of 4-5 items for your pup. It ranges from a couple bucks to $5/6 to get a serving of eggs, bacon, or a meal of turkey breast & rice. They will also bring out a water bowl if your dog is dining with you. Service is always great. Unfortunately, there is always a wait but it goes by surprisingly fast so don't be discouraged by crowd standing outside the restaurant. If there is a wait, I recommend dropping by the Hawaiian establishment next door to order a coffee and/or walk around their gift shop. Aesthetics of Fig Tree Cafe are super cute and make you feel like you're in a forest. Highly recommend if you're in the PB area! read more

Casual healthy eating in PB. Great drink menu. Would go back for breakfast. Food is good. Drinks are better. Would go back for sure.

So much to see and enjoy at this spot. Great decor and full menu to choose from! Gets crowded for a reason, and may take sometime to get food so enjoy a cocktail. Relax and sit back and you will be happy when their delicious food arrived. The crumb cake was delicious and cinnamon was hitting the sweet spot. Breakfast sandwich w sausage was moist and flavors, wish we had time to sample more. Parking is a pain, so walk or ride a bike if you can. You will be happy you did so! read more

Came her for the first time today for their brunch and I have to say that I left a fan. I came with 2 other friends and the wait time was around 25 minutes for 3 people (I'm pretty sure that it ended up being like 20 minutes instead). We got seated and the menu had quite a few options so it definitely wasn't easy to pick a dish since everything sounded great and was priced pretty well (most options were $10-11). I ended up getting the braised beef bennie($14.95), one friend got the traditional bennie (~$10) and my other friend for the lobster/ crab cake bennie ($14.95) and strawberries and creme french toast (~$12). My friends really enjoyed their bennies and both upgraded to the Parmesan arugula potatoes. I enjoyed my beef bennie on focaccia bread, and although the beef was a bit chewy the flavor was still really good. The french toast could've been better and we were a bit disappointed because it lacked in flavor. The only downside to this experience was that a waiter spilled water on my friend and instead of apologizing, all he said was, "it's just water." Other than that, we had a great time and really enjoyed the food. I can't wait to return and try something else off their menu. read more

The food was delicious. All outdoor seating but they had heaters. There wasn't a crowd so we were seated immediately. We ordered basic breakfast staples but they didn't disappoint. I had the eggs benedict and it was perfectly made. My partner had french toast with a side of eggs and bacon. Would go again! read more

Fig Tree Cafe is an underrated brunch spot in SD! I came here with my friend and we had a wonderful time. The wait wasn't too long either. We waited around 20 minutes on a Saturday. Our waitress, Jordan, was super sweet and gave really good recommendations. We ordered the Fig and Ricotta French Toast and the Spicy Sausage Omelet with Truffle Potatoes. - Fig and Ricotta French Toast: 10/10 the perfect amount of sweetness. The fig and Ricotta paired perfectly - Spicy Sausage Omelet with Truffle Potatoes: 9/10 really good omelet and the potatoes were to die for. Pair with the spicy ketchup!! read more

I have been to Fig Tree Cafe several times over the past decade and it has been consistently great! The ambiance is beautiful with the indoor/outdoor options, lush, beachy, in the trees theme. They have an extensive menu containing some creative options in the omelette/scramble department as well as the sweeter breakfast pancakes and French toast department. The Man Candy bacon is always a hit and something we have attempted to replicate at home quite a few times for brunch get togethers. I highly recommend Fig Tree and will continue to return every time I visit the San Diego area. No reservations are accepted though and parking is challenging so be prepared when you head over there. read more

Cozy spot, with a dog friendly environment, and very down to earth staff. The food had great presentation, among great taste agreed around the table. The drinks were very strong, but we're very fruity and light. Everything was perfectly cooked and the Man Candy bacon was WoW worthy. I can see this spot being a Sunday brunch hit with the group after a fun night out on the coast. I had the turkey sandwich on sourdough, tortilla soup with a salad. The salad and sandwich were portion and taste wise perfect. The cup soup was small. But the whole meal split between two was perfect. Would definitely go back if in area. read more

We live nearby and have gone to fig tree many times. The last two times we order breakfast to go. The order was wrong, cold and greasy the first time but today I thought I'd try again since they have been in good in the past. We ordered online for one breakfast burrito to go. The estimated time for pickup was 30-45 minutes. A long wait but it's Saturday morning so not a problem. The food took an hour and 15 minutes, the order was wrong and the burrito is served differently than before. Very disappointed in the food and service and would not recommend this spot to friends or family and do not plan on returning. Lastly, I have a lot if patience because I worked in the service industry for many years and I am aware of the staffing issues currently so I do hope they can improve because I would love to support them. read more

The people here are very nice but it doesn't help that it felt like it took forever to get seated or served, especially for breakfast/brunch food that is just OK. Got to Fig tree and nobody was there to take our names so we waited about 5 minutes until someone showed up and said it would take 10 mins for us to be seated. After about 20 minutes we were finally seated and then after another 5 minutes our waitress came over and got a coffee order in. After that things felt OK, but the berry french toast was alright and the yogurt and granola was actually really good but overall just wasn't killer. read more
