I absolutely love it and now when I go back to San Diego, this is now a must stop. Service was friendly, welcoming, and made you feel at home and they are very attentive as well.

My wife ordered the sampler plate, and I had the Eggs Benedict. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Don't skip the specialty lattes--they were outstanding and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The prices were also very reasonable, especially compared with many of the restaurants near the Convention Center. The combination of great food, fun atmosphere, and good value makes this place an easy recommendation. I heard they're closing a few locations, so I'm really hoping this one stays open because it's a total gem. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in San Diego!

We visited this established on a Sunday, I expected the wait to be a bit long. There was a lot of confusion about, where stand to check in.

You order at the counter, and you pick up your food when called. We shared the avo toast, acai bowl and WOW sandwich (bacon & egg on croissant or bagel). First of all, the WOW didn't look very big, but it packed a punch. It was so filling. Secondarily, the avo toast had uber fresh avo, and the arugula & balsamic vinegar provided nice contrast to the creaminess of the avo. Lastly, the acai was nice & cold on a hot day. The fruit was fresh and plentiful, making the bowl worth the price. Valentine, who took our order was super nice as was the owner and remainder of the staff. There is a small amount of seating inside, and a few tables outside. I would definitely return to Chiefy, vs waiting in the long lines in the places around the corner. The food is very good, and the service is excellent.

The place looks nice and the staff seems friendly, but repeatedly ordering grocery delivery and never tipping the person bringing it to you is certainly... a choice. I actually considered bringing my girlfriend here sometime, but I think I'll spend my money somewhere that shows a little more appreciation for service workers. And a little tip for their customer reading this, apparently tipping for service isn't necessary here, so maybe keep that same energy when your check comes. One star from this delivery driver

We arrived around 10am on a Friday and there was a long line, as expected. We waited for about 40 minutes for a table. Luckily Parakeet Cafe is across the street so we grabbed a drink while we waited. Once we were seated near the kitchen, we knew this was absolutely worth the wait! I loved the 2000s music they were playing inside, and the staff was super friendly. The menu was so unique! It definitely stood out from other brunch restaurants. I loved the colors and design. We ordered the souffle pancakes, hashbrowns, and chicken & waffles to share. The chicken was crispy on the outside and so tender and juicy on the inside. The souffle pancakes were light and fluffy. The hashbrowns were the perfect amount of crispy. It was my bestie's birthday, and our waiter brought a cute little macaroon dessert with her name printed on it. The personalization was such a nice touch and made her feel extra special! Even though we were there during peak brunch hours, by the time we got our table, the service was quick and attentive. The waiters seem like genuinely nice people which made the experience so great. The drinks we ordered were so cute. Presentation is everything and our waiter even gave us the option to choose the flower color. He knew we wanted good photos! Non-alcoholic drinks were also available which is great if you want a mocktail instead after a night out, or just can't hang like you used to (shout out to my fellow 30+ girlies lol). This is definitely one of the most instagrammable brunch spots in San Diego so come hungry with your camera ready!

Ridiculously long wait time, bad food, and dismissive/gaslighting service. We ended up spending…read morearound FOUR HOURS of our day at Morning Glory, most of which was spent waiting to be seated, waiting/looking for our server, waiting for our food, and waiting for our check. If we were told accurate wait times, we would have went somewhere else for brunch instead of wasting our precious vacation day. The location and aesthetic being located on the second floor at the corner of the building was a big reason that drew us to this location. The music is horrendously loud that our group of girls could not converse without screaming or going right up to someone's ear. I think they should promote this place as a bar instead of a breakfast/brunch spot. Long wait time: We waited for a long time in line just to check in, then we were told the wait would be 1 hour and 15 minutes. We were told they would text us when a table opened. Luckily, there was a farmer's market going on outside. We came back around the estimated wait time and not having been texted. The hostess proceeded to gaslight us about our actual wait time, then told us it would be another 45 minutes. We proceeded to wait well over that estimated wait time was well. After they told us our table was ready, they told us to "go to the middle area". So, we sat at the middle table that was open and waited for a long time. The servers stared at us confused and told us we were supposed to stand at the bar instead of sitting down, but then he proceeded to take our order and said this was our table anyways. But why should we stand awkwardly at the bar in everyone's way when our table was ready? The servers forgot to get one of our orders and instead of apologizing, pretended that we were the ones at fault. Food: - Breakfast Carbonara: overcooked noodles. tasted like mac n' cheese. the "porkbelly" are basically little cut up bacon pieces. - Souffle pancake: should have labeled it as a biscuit, not souffle - Power Bowl: yes, the salad was the best thing at this establishment. it was very flavorful with all of the tasty ingredients mixed together. hard to mess that up though. There is barely any parking nearby except for a few on the street.

The menu leans classic breakfast but with portions big enough to fuel another day of taco hunting. I went with pancakes and eggs bc it was simple, but they nailed it. Fluffy pancakes, eggs cooked right, and orange juice that kept coming (a true blessing on a food road trip). It's not flashy or "Instagram famous," but that's exactly why I liked it. The Lazy Hippo does the basics really well, which makes it the perfect pit stop before diving back into California's endless lineup of tacos, burgers, and desserts.

It's street parking only, so can be challenging depending on when you come. I stopped in during the week, as I walked from the nearby Padres stadium. It wasn't very busy when I came in around 11:30, but after I ordered it really picked up. They do have a counter where you order the food, and also a bar that you can sit at that appears to have a pretty good selection of alcohol. There are a few tables to sit at. After I place my order I decided to sit at the table with the Ronald McDonald statue, because why not? I asked the very nice server about the menu, and she let me know what was popular and answered my questions. I decided to go with the muffaletta as it was on focaccia bread, which I really love. The sandwich was huge, and I definitely needed someone to share it with. They do cut it in half, so it is actually perfect for sharing or taking the other half home. It is filled with several different types of Italian Meats, including salami, sopressata, mortadella, some cheese and arugula and onions, and a sauce they use. I've never had a muffaletta before, so I can't speak to how authentic this is, but I can tell you it was a very good sandwich. I loved all of the flavors and the way they came together, and the fact that it was on focaccia bread just made it all the more perfect. Overall this is a very cute place to grab breakfast or lunch, I believe they are only open until 3:00 p.m.. The decor is very cute, with several different statues, disco ball, and a music area , and I think kids would love it as well as adults. I also enjoyed the food, and would like to try some of the other things on their menu as well. I could see myself going back if I'm in the area.

Service was a little slow and our food actually came out before our coffee, which was strange, but they do make each coffee to order. The cold brew was just okay and tasted watered down.

Overall, the ambience is what makes this place stand out, but the coffee and food were hit or miss for me.
