Fun ambience, great place for morning coffee with friends. Usually a line to get in (and doesn't that tell you something?)

Service: great Good: delicious Interior/atmosphere: beautiful/cute Parking: hard to find, may have to walk I got a strawberry cream French toast, it was delicious. However I prefer a crisper toast, but it was still yummy. My bf got an entree called "Monterey scramble", he cleared the plate, so I assume it was good. read more

This is the best breakfast I have ever had. As a stereotypical 22 year old, I live for mimosas at picturesque brunch spots but that sometimes means paying $15 for what turns out to just be a Costco bagel and a pretty but gross yogurt parfait. This is not that place. Photo worthy? Yes.. but it's actually the food that makes this place 5 stars My friend and I split the bottle of champagne and fresh squeezed orange juice (so homemade you'll think they have a tree in the back) and we ordered Tuscan Eggs Benedict and the stuffed French toast for a little sweet and a little savory. Upon first bite, we were hooked. Every bite was absolutely perfect. The sun dried tomatoes went well with the eggs and the stuffed French toast was every sweet tooth's breakfast dream. read more

Fig Tree Cafe - Drool Worthy Breakfast: Tuscan Eggs Benedict, Stuffed French Toast, and Mimosas - Sandwiches Near Me - Pacific Beach, California

Can we say YUM! We got there for brunch at 11 and the place was packed. Standing room only with about 50 people in line to wait for a table. Parking is available in the side streets. We were seated in about 25 minutes because we had a group of six. Everything that was on the menu looked amazing. I really wanted a Bloody Mary and I got it spicy. It was delicious and came with olives, cucumbers, and a huge stalk of celery. I also got the bananas fosters French Toast and it was delicious. Of course I had to get the two bacon two egg side with it. The pancakes looked delicious too. This is a wonderful place for brunch and we will definitely be back. read more

Great casual cafe for breakfast or lunch. Food was delicious and they had a good amount of vegan/vegetarian options.

I am usually very happy with the Fig Tree at other locations however the Pacific Beach location has been disappointing. Today was my 2nd time there in the past few months with the same group of friends. Both visits it was understaffed with long waits for any service. Today it took 30 minutes for the food to arrive and all 4 entrees were cold to lukewarm. Nothing worse than cold eggs Benedict or cold soup. There was no point in complaining as we'd have to wait another 30 minutes to see the good again. The salsa we requested was never served. Any ambiance is ruined by street noise and the loud screeches from the metal chairs being moved. This was my last time at the PB location read more

Food, Service, and atmosphere aka ambiance : I decided to eat Christmas Day breakfast at Fig Tree Cafe in Pacific Beach and was delighted with eating beside and under a big Ficus tree, the homey Christmasy atmosphere, the friendly, joyous, attentive server (Jordan), the ginger lemon tea, and my meal, Crispy pork belly and grits(braised pork belly, smoked gouda grits, pickled mustard seeds, soy marinated soft boiled egg. I was able to observe the meals that other diners were enjoying and all looked very good. I am happy to give this place a 5 star review. read more

Cute hole in the wall place. Was next door to our place so dropped in. Pancakes were a bit cold and dry and no butter was offered. They didn't give enough syrup so had to ask for more as pancakes soaked it up like crazy. I've had better. Eggs were good. Bacon cooked perfectly as long as u ask for none crunchy. Wife cane a few times so there's definitely something good here. For 5 stars I want to be wowed. I also was not asked about salsa for my eggs. I did and was charged for it. What? Salsa rocked though. read more

Brunch here was delicious and our server, Miguel, was amazing! I had visited a few years back and ordered the 'surf and turf' michelada. I was disappointed they had taken it off the menu, but Miguel was able to have it made anyway! Loved that they were so accommodating. Will definitely come back - especially for that surf & turf that will *hopefully* makes its way back on the menu! read more

This place came highly recommended and did not disappoint. This relaxed vibes place has coffee, savory and sweet breakfast options, as well as alcoholic drinks for those brunching. The breakfast burrito is a MUST have for those savory breakfast eaters. Perfect mix of everything breakfast wrapped into a nice burrito. Think breakfast + Chipotle. Their stuffed French toast was also delicious. Very sweet with the fresh fruit / fig jam. I didn't use any syrup, and enjoyed the natural sweetness. The fruit flavors really come through mixed with their rich ricotta and mascarpone. Their breakfast sushi is fun and definitely for those photo-op eaters. It was alright. Tasted like it looked: bacon, eggs, rice, with some fig(?) jam. Their mimosa flight was a fun way to try a lot of the flavors. They had strawberry, kiwi, lavender, and original. All where champagne-forward in flavor. The coffee and espresso-drink options were good with a range of milk alternatives. I got the chai latte and loved the spice blend. Overall this place was chill, with solid food and drink options, and friendly staff. The only small ding (pandemic related) was their speed taking our order. But the friendliness and vibes definitely kept us happy and relaxed. read more

I ordered steak and eggs. I never got it. There system went "down". I was offered a half azz apology. The service was super slow and the food lacked flavor. Do not waste your time and money here. read more

Staff can be a little rude but I think it's mostly because they stay busy and a little in over their heads. The Bloody Mary cocktail is absolutely fantastic and the food certainly hits the spot. I'd recommend this spot to anybody who wants an open air spot to relax but don't expect your interactions with anyone else to be so casual. read more

Cute breakfast place! I love the rustic decor with the globe lights strung across the ceiling. As we entered the restaurant, there was a sign saying that we could seat ourselves. We found ourselves a table and sat down. But no server came to bring us the menus right away so one of us went up to the entrance to pick up some menus. I ordered an orange mimosa ($4.50) to start and one of my friends ordered a blueberry oatmeal stout ($5.00). My friend and I shared the stuffed French toast with mangos and strawberries and the crab cakes Benedict. Both were very delicious and we were not disappointed. However, I wish the eggs Benedict had more hollandaise sauce. My other friends also ordered the stuffed French toast as well as the apple cinnamon French toast. We were all very full at the end of the meal, so you can be sure that you get a big portion for the price you pay. read more

When people ask for a brunch recommendation, I'm always quick to recommend Fig Tree. It's the perfect lazy afternoon spot to enjoy some quality food and drink. I'm a big fan of their benedicts. My go to benny used to be the crab cake one but I've recently moved on to obsessing over their smoked salmon omelet. The flavor on this omelet is incredible. Paired with some potatoes, it's the perfect breakfast! They've also got a lot of great lunch options as well. I like their sandwiches because they come with fries (or you can upgrade for garlic fries). Be warned though, the garlic fries are dank. Your breath will stink. The drinks also make this place special. They have alcoholic options but I love their chai latte and almond latte. You can also order them in a to go cup so you can continue drinking after your meal. The whole restaurant is open aired and surrounded by trees and cute greenery. It feels like a comfy backyard patio. Large parties or small parties welcomed! Love this place! read more

I truly love this place, from the tree house like patio, to the beachy casual feeling, the food, the service, and the coffee. I got the Atlantic Lox Omelette and it was just perfect. Salmon wasn't over cooked, the asparagus was perfect (not adente), and cream cheese was soft and delicious. The potatoes were decent. The bombest vanilla coffee cake I ever had. They also have this side dish, the Man Candy my bestie ordered and it was so good. Pretty typical bacon with maple syrup, but they dash it with paprika which gave it a very yummy contrast. I love that they have energy boast shots. I took an Acai one and it definitely brighten my morning. I also had this coffee that was just lovely. I love black coffee for its integrity and this was a good medium blend. Overall legit spot. If I lived in Pacific Beach I'd be a regular. read more

Obligatory "if I could give 0 stars I would". To summarize in a few bullet points: - terrible service - terrible food - overpriced food - unclean Service: we arrived and we were not acknowledged for a good few minutes . When we were finally greeted, the waitress had a look on her face like we were another chore on the list. The food took at least 20 minutes to come out. To top it off, we never got any water fill ups or "how are things" checkups. Terrible food: I got the breakfast sushi and my girlfriend got the huevos rancheros. Now the description of the breakfast sushi sounds kinda funny but it sounded like their most popular item so maybe there's something about it that I wouldn't know about until I tried it? Nope: there isn't really any real "integration" between each of the ingredients. It's just a bland fried rice shaped into 3 cylinders, each wrapped with a single piece of overcooked bacon, topped with jam that tastes like it came from a can. Huevos rancheros could be described as similar: just a bunch of ingredients that came from a can from the deepest corner of the pantry. Overpriced food: look at the menu prices and tell me that it's not highway robbery. Unclean: if you like a bunch of flies buzzing around your face while you eat then come on by. I don't know how places like these have such rave ratings: a bunch of reviewers here who claim that the breakfast sushi is "to die for" must not eat out (or go out) very much because the breakfast sushi is a joke of a dish that makes Applebee's look like a Michelin 5-star restaurant. It's probably because it's in a "prime" location like Pacific Beach (hint: a lot of PB food sucks, but I digress). read more

Woah. I have lived in PB for close to 3 years and have never tried fig tree cafe until today. I have always wanted to try it, but every time I would walk by there would be a giant crowd waiting and I would always just go somewhere else. What I didn't know is this restaurant is giant and the wait goes by super fast! I got a mimosa flight (watermelon, strawberry, blueberry and lavender) that was a great start to the morning. I also ordered the California breakfast burrito which was heavenly. Super filling, fresh, flavorful and delicious. I would recommend anyone in PB to roll to this spot and try it ASAP. It's a must have. read more

Absolutely fricken love this place. The bloody Mary's are SO GOOD. The coffee is decent but not my first choice. The setting is so cute. There are birds everywhere (but not in your face or food) and tons of trees. It's truly beautiful and such a cute place. I got the breakfast sushi which is pretty good but does get boring so I recommend splitting another meal with someone else so it is not so repetitive. I also got the braised angus beef short ribs with avocado and it was AMAZING. Cannot recommend it enough. So good. Definitely try this place out. It does not disappoint! read more

Well I usually don't line to write bad reviews and this isn't a bad one necessarily. The vibe is nice. Just a warning that if you're here for breakfast you may want to dress warm as it's all open air seating so it's cold in the morning hours. Honestly it's a 4 star place for the food and atmosphere. Food is good albeit a tad pricey. So I will say two main items made me decide to give 3 stars unless I try it again. There are about 8-10 heat lamps spread out across the restaurant (again because its open air) sooo... how do you run out of propane ?? There's 10 heat lamps and they are totally out?? That's just kinda a mistake that should never be made. 10 lamps zero propane 57 degrees and cloudy. Second is my server wasn't attentive. She delivered the drinks and then I didn't see her. My steak and eggs came out and my cup was empty. The bus boy was kind enough to get me a refill. So in the end I froze my ass off and paid over $30 for a decent breakfast where I was in a rush to get out because I was cold. Maybe I'll try again when there's propane or I'm wearing sweats in May read more

Fig Tree Cafe - My adult daughters and I enjoyed an outing to brunch and the beach a few weekends ago. - Sandwiches Near Me - Pacific Beach, California

Do not recommend. My family and I were visiting from out of town, and hoping to enjoy our last brunch together. We waited about 20 min to be seated (Sunday, so no problem here) then we were sat in an area swarming with flies. The friendly waiter sat us in another location, so we were grateful for that. Waited probably 30 min for our food to come out and it was terrible. Bland, no flavor. Potatoes all seemed like they had been sitting out for hours. The vegetables in my omelet were overcooked, and the fig French toast was soggy. Super disappointed. read more

The entrance to Fig Tree Cafe was really charming with two trees cascading shade in the front half of the cafe. However, due to the long wait and average food, I don't think I would be coming back here... Our party was told that the wait would be 30-35 mins, when we actually were seated 1 hr and 15 mins later because we were a large party and needed to wait for a specific table. Everyone in the group was starving so we ordered right when we were seated. While the sun dried tomato Benedict was pretty good, my friends that got the omelettes and pancakes were disappointed. The banana pancakes were just regular pancakes with slice banana on top. At least the waitress was quick and accommodation since she knew we had been waiting a while. read more

Came here for brunch with some friends on a weekday morning. Found parking on the street pretty easily. We didn't have to wait for too long for a table since another group was leaving right when we arrived. The table was cleaned up very quickly and we were seated. I had the eggs benny which were delicious. However, i didn't expect the potatoes to be so good as well. They were very crispy and flavorful!
