Went early on a Sunday morning , around 8:30a, no wait for a group of 6. Service was a tad bit slow but we didn't mind at all, allowed us time to look over the menu and take in their back patio. Dirty chai tea latte was delicious. Highly recommend the banana foster French toaster to share and getting your own dish because everything is so good. read more

Great food, comfy outdoor/indoor seating and Friendly Staff. One of my regular spots!

First time coming to this location but I love Fig Tree! Was worried it was going to be busy on a Saturday and that parking would be hard to find so we got there at 9 AM. easy street parking and not many people there so we got sat right away. The outdoor patio is really cute. Got the Italian fennel sausage omelette which is my usual, This time with the upgraded potatoes that cost $2 extra. They put Parmesan, arugula, and truffle oil on them. Also got the hazelnut cappuccino that was really good. Waiter was super friendly and everything was delicious. read more

Went there this morning for breakfast for the first time. I don't know how I didn't know this was in north PB! It's tucked away and built into a house. The back room and front dining is very calm and easy on the eyes. Wood tables and many green plants growing. It accommodates all sizes -- larger booths for bigger parties and smaller tables for smaller groups. Must try: breakfast sushi, the American and the crab sandwich with french fries! And yes. Mimosa flights or a bottle is perfect! read more

Was super excited to try it out - we initially waited 20 minutes which was to be expected. Unfortunately ended up waiting over 45 minutes for food, we were never checked on & food ended up being cold. Loved the aesthetic inside but food ended up pretty average & nothing special. Little disappointed in quality of service. read more

Cute brunch spot in a neighborhood. The vibes reminded us of Hawaii a little bit. Very woodsy and rustic inside. Lots of trees and greens surrounding the restaurant. We really liked that it's a seat yourself type of place so we got to choose where we wanted to sit. The staff were very friendly and helpful! We ordered the Burrito with steak that was very good. It's HUGE so definitely enough to share for 2. The potatoes were very good as well. We also ordered the Fig and ricotta stuffed French toast. This was alright. The Syrup was the fake kind... it would be much better with real maple syrup. We would be willing to pay extra for it if it was available. This dish is very sweet so it would be too much to have as a full meal. We shared the burrito and shared the French toast as a dessert. We recommend this place! read more

Granted we did go here in a San Diego heat wave... BUT close off the back area and don't seat people there if it's more than 90 degrees please it was like sitting in a sauna. Sweating the entire time and our drinks we ordered didn't arrive until after our food. The breakfast sushi and lemon ricotta pancakes were amazing honestly, but we couldn't get over the service/environment read more

Food is amazing as is the service. I actually prefer the pacific beach location. I've been to the one at liberty Station. PB vibe is just..more comfy cozy. And the food is better imho. Try the meatloaf hash, and definitely share the trio sampler for your sweet tooth. Can't miss with whichever combo you chose. Pancakes or french toast, they're all fantastic. Man candy..do it, you wont regret it. Short rib bennys..yum. Great coffee choices as well as cocktails. Give em a try, the wait is def worth it. read more

My husband and I had a lovely lunch here for our anniversary. I have Celiac so it is important to find places that are gf and aware of cross contamination. The gf bread was delicious and the server was knowledgeable and kind with all the questions I asked him. My only complaint is that my tray came out with a regular fry on it. I didn't order fries because they are fried in shared oil. It wasn't touching anything so I risked it and didn't have any issues but it was a little random. The atmosphere was very lovely especially if you like flowers and birds. Our food came out quickly and our drinks were delicious. I will come back. read more

Decided to go here for brunch after originally trying to go to Crushed, but didn't wanna wait that long. Though there was still a bit of a wait here, they let us hang at the bar until our name was called. First impressions, this place looked super popular and cute! Loved the different sections and decor it had. It was a nice vibe on a Sunday morning. I ordered the caffeine sampler which was SO good, especially for a coffee drinker like me. With that, I also got the California Breakfast Burrito. I didn't care much for the salsa it came with, but the fixings inside were amazing. Paired it with the cluckin' good hot sauce and it was the perfect mix. I also opted for upgrading to truffle fries on the side (my fave) and I was obsessed. The only reason they get a couple stars off is for the service. It seemed that they often got a lot of our orders mixed up and it would take them a while when we would have to call them over (granted, it was super busy). For example, my boyfriend ordered a spicy sausage omelette without spinach, but they still put spinach and omitted the spicy sausage. When he pointed it out, the waiter ended up bringing the sausage on the side, which was nice. Still, it just overall seemed very hectic in this place and ruined the experience a bit. Also, we got 18% gratuity added for being a large group, which is understandable, but also not worth it for the service we got. Would not be the first place I'd choose to go to brunch, but also wouldn't be opposed to going back for the food alone. read more

I'm here at 7:30 am. Sign on the door says open at 7 am. Guy inside setting up tables yelled that they open at 8, but I'm pretty sure they're late by the sound of things. Nothing online shows them opening at any other time. Wasted my morning driving out to this place. read more

I would like to thank this place for providing us horrible customer service. This weekend was my best friend's birthday getaway and she couldn't even have an egg poached correctly. Lets go into detail shall we? Upon our arrival, we were seated within 25 minutes. Which wasn't so bad. We were given waters but, for some reason our table was so slanted we couldn't place our waters near us. It kept sliding off the table, we had to place all out waters on one side of the table further away from all of us so it wouldn't fall. Our server, Grace, greeted us and took our orders. After 40 minutes of waiting for our food, we had to flagged down one of the busboys to check on it. We were able to see Grace provide good customer service to the other tables, not us. After one of the busboys mentioned to her we have been waiting for a while, she then came to us and told us our food was otw! You can only imagine how relieve we were that the food was coming. Especially after looking at the yelp reviews/pictures. Unfortunately when the food arrived, it was horrible. My best friend's egg benedict had a hardboiled egg... SO, you're telling us we waited 40 minutes for a hardboiled egg?! Her boyfriend's eggs benedict also had a non-runny egg. Both was sent back to the kitchen. No apology from Grace. We were just hoping it wasn't going to take another 40 minutes for poached eggs again. Alright, here we go with the second round. The eggs benedict came out again, and BOTH weren't runny AGAIN. Grace then went into detail how the restaurants poached there eggs over medium & that we need to tell them if we want it otherwise. I've never had to tell any restaurant how to poach my eggs for a eggs benedict. Ridiculous. Her boyfriend asked to speak to the manager.. and TADA! The manager was Grace! No wonder why she was acting the way she was acting. She felt entitled because she was the manager. Throughout this whole time no sorry was said or anything. The busboys had help us put way more than she did. Alright, third times the charm? I don't think so. Eggs benedict came out the third time and the second time looked better than the third! My bestfriend's boyfriend went up to Grace to address the matter. Grace basically said that she was sorry the poached eggs wasn't up to his standard. She had also mention that she would bring it up to the owners attention that it should be stated that the eggs are poached over medium in the menu, but when my bestfriend's boyfriend had asked for the owners number, they said they didn't have it and there wasn't a way to obtain it. Ridiculous. In conclusion, the busboys deserve to be servers. They helped a tremendous amount compared to Grace. We were better off eating elsewhere. read more

We went on a Saturday morning around 10:30 and amazingly did not wait any longer than 10 minutes. First off, this place looks very cozy and spacious with all the wood around. We got the french toast sampler - Stuffed, Fig Jam and Ricotta Cheese and Berry Sweet - and it didn't disappoint. It was enough to share between 2 people, but could also be eaten by someone who has a big appetite. I like that none of them were overly sweet and the french toast was fluffy but also had crunchy edges. They all definitely hit the spot! Parking - we had to park quite far as it was quite a busy Saturday morning so expect to loop around several times or just park somewhere in one of the residential areas. Surely a brunch spot to visit when you're in SD. read more

The only brunch place I've ever been to where I felt like I was in a tree house! The open airy atmosphere here has a total California beach bum vibe as well that immediately impressed me as soon as I walked in. Literally sitting under a bunch of fig trees for brunch was a unique experience and best of all their Eggs Benedict selection here is top notch! The breakfast burrito, stuffed with various veggies, cheese, eggs, meat, potatoes, etc was gigantic and was probably my favorite item on the menu. I'm also a total sucker for fresh mangoes and they include a heaping helping of them on their omelettes. If you are ever in the pacific beach area in SD you have to give this place a try! read more

We had just gone to San Diego and were extremely hungry. We spontaneously stumbled upon this place because of the fig trees. We saw them from outside and I just look like a very cozy restaurant so we decided to give it a try. And I think we made the right choice. Right when we walked in we were lucky enough to be seated and I saw someone having a Mamosa flight so I decided to order that and the rest of the party went with the bloody Mary which was called big daddy I believe. Moments later our drinks arrived and one after another they looked beautiful and more importantly they were delicious. My mimosas had four different flavors: kombucha, Goji, and the other two I don't remember. The bloody Mary's were amazing as well they came with Canadian bacon and celery and tomatoes and a bunch of other things. It came down to ordering food and I decided to go with the Huervo's breakfast which was 3 eggs (cooked any style) on top of tortillas with side of black beans, rosemary potatoes, and the rest went with the breakfast sushi and egg Benedict. We also ordered the banana French toast on the side because our waitress told us that it was a must try. Not long after all the food came out and wow did we enjoy every bite. My eggs were perfectly cooked and the potatoes were extremely delicious and very soft on inside. The French toast was beyond delicious dip banana syrup was a winner for sure. Everyone else truly enjoyed their meal and we all were extremely happy that we had come across this delicious restaurant that we can not wait to go back to. read more

The wait doesn't take long, maybe 20 minutes or so. And there is plenty of residential parking around! Fig Tree Café is a house that has been converted into a restaurant with a covered patio/backyard. The décor throughout is so adorable! The ambiance is the backyard area feels as though you're in a treehouse. Our waitress made some great recommendations since it was my first time there. I got the Breakfast Sushi which I thought was good and a really unique take on breakfast. Their coffee is pretty amazing too! Definitely worth checking out. read more

I really enjoyed everything about this place; the ambiance, the food, the service..everything. The wait to get in was about 20-25 minutes, which isn't too bad but when your starving it can feel like forever! It's street parking and can get a lil crowded we ended up parking on the next block. Fortunately they got our food to us really fast. The wait to get in was longer than the wait to order and get our food. I ordered the veggie scramble with an English muffin that didn't fully make the picture. It was yummy!!!!! There's just something about sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese together that tastes BOMB! Organic coffee was also delicious, especially with caramel syrup to sweeten it up Takeaways: Loved it. Would go again. Try it! read more

great drinks but i wasn't impressed with the service...i went out for breakfast with the lady friend and i went to the restroom to wash my hands and by the time i came back the waitress had already came by to put in the orders...my lady friend said the waitress would come back to get my order but she never did. ( very weird to sit there and not be served as my lady friend got to eat ) sad cause i just moved in 2 weeks ago and i live one block away...i suggested this place but i definitely won't be returning here for anything other than a bloody mary read more

We stopped by Fig Tree Cafe on a busy Sunday morning. We were quoted a 45 minute wait and it took as long to get a table. Our service was kind but did take a bit as they were short staffed. We ordered a bunch of things off their extensive menu - including the French toast sampler which was really fun. The vegetarian scramble was just OK, as were the mole chilaquiles. Prices were reasonable and ambiance was a bit hectic. On a less busy day it would probably feel more like a cool, Cali patio experience. read more

First time at The Fig Tree Cafe today. We arrived at 9 on a Saturday morning and waited 15 mins for a table. The setting was certainly nice, with the huge ficus trees outside the cafe. My wife ordered a Bloody Mary while I got a Chai iced tea. Unfortunately I was brought a regular Iced Tea and the Bloody Mary was not built as advertised. The drinks took 12 mins to arrive. Moving on to our entrees, we ordered the American breakfast and a Monterey scramble. I asked for no peppers in my scramble. It took another took another 20 min for our food to arrive. The food was average at best. My scramble arrived laced with peppers but it took so long to get, I didn't feel like waiting for a reorder. Not our favorite breakfast in the area, as the food we ordered was not as requested and the wait for food was way too long. read more

I had such high hopes for this place. We waited 40 minutes for a table of 5. Initially, our waiter was on it. We got our drinks fairly fast but 2 waters we got had something foreign in it. Despite ordering first, a table of 7 who came after us got their food 15 minutes before us AND the side they ordered fairly fast. Us? We waited an additional 30 minutes for our food and waiting another 15 for our SIDE we ordered BEFORE. The food is alright, not much flavor and service is not so great. So sad I wasted my time here. read more

Being new to San Diego (moved here in 2021), we explore a new breakfast restaurant once a month. Today our adventures took us to Fig Tree Cafe in Pacific Beach. We ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes, a side of Man Candy (candied bacon), a breakfast burrito and a honey lavender latte. Everything we ordered was pretty tasty. Service was good. Friendly and accommodating. It was a chilly day so the patio heater was welcomed. Only recommendation would be replace the metal chairs with something more comfy. Thanks for the experience. read more

Breakfast sluts such as myself will love this eclectic, beachy-vibe spot below a large banyan tree. The visual appeal doesn't end at the décor as the food continues this motif with their breakfast dishes. Some obvious gastro-points: man-candy bacon and a Bloody Mary if that's your cup of tea. Also, the staff is super friendly and attentive despite the bustle. The only problem is that it is kinda small so it is hard to get a table; also, it can get pretty loud with the wrong/right group. read more

We found this place through a website. It is a different concept. They served organic coffee, breakfast sushi, and california style beenie with turkey bacon. The food tastes so good. One of the best breakfast brunch place that we encountered.

The bacon wrap the fried rice like sushi. It also comes with a bowl of fruit. read more

Brunch is the basic necessity in local San Diegoians. My, oh my, why have I not tried this place before. Since my friends cannot tell time, we arrived at this place an hour before closing (I'm sorry!) Food (5/5) - Chicken Sausage Omelet: chicken sausage, bell peppers, cheese, onions, salsa verde with your choice of bread and a side of potatoes. Perfect balance of all & very generous with their portions. Their potatoes were also extra crispy! - French toast: fluffy as can be with fresh strawberries and syrup for those with a sweet tooth! -BUTTER: yes, THIS is what gives them the 5 stars. yes, it deserves it's own category. MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR THEIR BUTTER FOR YOUR TOAST!!!!! Bellies down, this is the best butter I have ever taste in my life. So fluffy, so light, yet so creamy. Honestly, I can just have this as my main dish with a bunch of toast. Service (5/5): Everyone was so generous! They made sure we were warm under the heaters, constantly refilling our beverages, and constantly checking up on us! **In all honesty, you can't really mess up brunch food. But their butter is definitely underrated here. TRUST ME! read more

Waited 2 hours to be sat in the dungeon (little stuffy hot addition) ... it was a great disappointment for us on a very special occasion. The hostesses did not know how to seat a table of 7 and when they crammed us in the dungeon I saw at least 4 tables for large groups with 2 people only. I'll bet they didn't wait 2 hours either! So upset & can't wait for Isabels Cantina to open back up. Service & food was fine. Tuscan Benedict was good. I was not as hungry when I got it at 1pm as when I arrived at 10am and was told "40 mins wait". Ugh ‍ read more
