Amazing amazing service and hospitality to us and the waiters. We met the owner and she was lovely and came to chat with us. Our waiter was great and checked in frequently. Our food was delicious!! The Super Bowl was so nice and fresh and perfect for a breakfast with veggies (which I was craving badly) and the Reuben sandwich was toasty and saucy. It was lovely to come here on a Sunday afternoon and we got seated right away in a great booth for two, watching Sunday football. Very cozy and homey vibes.

Chocolate Chip Pancake

Hands down, the best brunch spot in Del Mar, CA! Amazing food and the outdoor dining area was awesome! The party of 9 was served by Wendy who did a phenomenal job of tending to such a large party. We sat outdoors under the shade and enjoyed the lovely trees with yellow flowers and matching butterflies! It was absolutely lovely and the food was amazing! I had the bacon, cheese and guacamole omelet and a chocolate pancake. DELISH! The service was stellar! Thanks Wendy and all of the food runners, for making our experience absolutely fantastic!

If you're looking for a lovely spot right by the beach with great coffee and massive portions, this is it. The food is definitely big enough to share. The service, however, left a lot to be desired. The servers weren't very nice or welcoming. To be fair, we went during the chaotic Mother's Day weekend, so they were incredibly busy, but it still put a bit of a damper on the experience. That being said, the place has a lot of heart. While eating, I overheard a woman talking about how the restaurant belongs to her dad and sharing the history behind it, which was a very touching and sweet story to hear. Overall, come for the views, the coffee, and the portions, just be prepared for potentially slow or brisk service if you go during a peak weekend!

Outdoor seating

Harry's is one of my favorite brunch spots in downtown Del Mar! The menu is full of great options, both sweet and savory! They feature a more old school diner-style menu (with a SoCal twist with Chilaquiles and breakfast burritos!) and I particularly enjoyed the Corned Beef Hash and Eggs, French Toast and Strawberry Pancakes! They also have a fun list of coffee drinks to enjoy! The service is generally speedy and nice. I have only sat in their outdoor sidewalk seating, which can get a bit too sunny on hot days, but overall a very cute ambiance that fits in well with Del Mar. And the location cannot be beat as it is within minutes of walking to Del Mar beach so it's perfect spot for a weekend morning brunch and beach walk! And they are very dog friendly!!

Corner,view of Harry's. Located just a couple of blocks from Seagrove Park which has  gorgeous ocean views and is great place to walk!

The chilaquiles are delicious! The chips are the perfect texture piled onto crispy hash browns and then topped with eggs your way and red onions, sour cream and scallions. The milk shake was delicious too! Old school like what you could get at a soda fountain in a drug store. Real ice cream blended into milk and topped with whipped cream. ( part of the cream was removed in the photo as I had given it to my dog- and he approved of it too! ) The service was excellent. It is a laid back atmosphere in the village of Del Mar. We ate outside as we had our dog with us. They even poached an egg for my dog that I added to his kibble. Harry's Coffee Shop is very dog friendly in both the La Jolla and Del Mar locations. I like the laid back atmosphere in Del Mar and will continue to be a patron there!

Corned Beef Hash and Eggs Dulce Latte
Zeinab B.

This will definitely be my go to breakfast spot whenever I'm in Del Mar, the food is delicious, from the pancakes to the homemade hot sauce and latte . The location is really the icing on the cake, it's a short walk to the beach, perfect to burn off calories and to take in the beauty of San Diego. Staff is friendly, prices and portions are decent . I highly recommend this place and can't think of anything to complain about.

Chorizo scramble

I love that Harry's is now in Del Mar. I always frequented their La Jolla location. We were seated immediately and well waited on. The weather in Del Mar is appropriate for outdoor seating. You really feel the great oceanside ambiance. The food is very good, one of my favorites for brunch. Crispy hash browns. Great scrambles.

Cinnamon Roll
Arlynn A.

8/26/2025 - My first time visiting Del Mar and I stopped in Harry's for a little coffee and bite to eat. I sat inside for a little break from the sun. What a fantastic place and awesome service. I loved the oldies decor and classic diner atmosphere. As a treat, I ordered the affogato and my server gave me an extra scoop of ice cream on the house. So sweet! It was a late birthday gift to come to the beach with my bestie! We like to celebrate all month long! Haha. Sat at the bar area. The windows all around allow you to have a great view outside. After a few bites of the cinnamon roll, I headed back out for a walk and to check out a few shops nearby. So glad I tried the (huge) cinnamon roll from a local bakery. It was flaky and cinnamony- is that a word?! lol I definitely needed to walk off some of the sugar calories I'd just enjoyed. 1/13/2026 - I'm baaaack! I could not stay away from CA for a whole year. Haha. Yes, I visit my bestie when I can and wanted to come back. Got the French Toast this time and WOW! So good! It tasted as good as it looked! I also got myself another affogato. Those two espresso shots will keep me going all day long. Everything is so good. Amazing service again. Love the atmosphere, too. It's comfortable and welcoming - not at all pretentious as I have heard of the area. Fueling to for more walking on the beach. Go check them out! They're a staple of Del Mar!

Food: 9/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 9/10 This brunch place is on the corner in front of Seagrove Park. It's a beautiful place with both indoor and outdoor seating. I was worried that the food wouldn't taste as well as their cute aesthetics but to me, it was great. I hate when brunch is salty but this brunch was perfect. Very nutritious, and I loved how they know what the people want. They KNOW we want sweet and savory, so to most of their savory menus, they have a side of pancakes, AND IT'S GOOD?

I've been reluctant to try Harry's here for two reasons: we loved the former restaurant at this location (Americana); we were not a fan of Harry's when we lived in La Jolla. Well the old vibe is still here! It was nice sitting down for lunch in the familiar surroundings in this historic building. For lunch, I had the The Ruben (5/5 $18.99), a closed corned beef sandwich on grilled rye bread with Swiss cheese, 1000 Island dressing, and sauerkraut. This is a classic New York City deli sandwich, and, as I told the manager, the best one I've had since moving to the West Coast 25 years ago! A nice house-made coleslaw (4/5) came with the sandwich, and I had a choice of French fries, onion rings or green salad to accompany my sandwich. I chose onion rings (4/5), which were very good. My beverage was black coffee (3/5), which had good flavor but was bitter. Service was good. Overall, I'm glad I broke down and gave Harry's a shot. I'll be back.

Waffle with eggs Benedict
Emily S.

Love Harry's vintage cafe vibes with a classic breakfast. I've been to the La Jolla location so was excited to try this location. We were able to find parking close by. As soon as we walked up the hostess and waiter greeted us upon entering and were seated right away in the best booth. We ordered our favorites which were the cafe mocha, hot cocoa, and something new horchata latte. All were made to perfection. Our favorite dish by far is the corn beef hash ordered by someone in our party and I was taking bites thinking we should have ordered another one. I ordered my Benny which is a waffle and eggs Benedict, the patty melt was moist and flavorful. The only reason for the 4 star is the poached eggs were not runny. Other than that I would definitely come back to this location and Harry's as it is our favorite breakfast place in SD.

Fresh Lemonade
Crissy W.

Why have we not been here sooner?! This will now be one of my go to brunch locations! And I'm a bunch snob by the way. One of the reasons I haven't been here is because one my favorite brunch spots is Stratford Court, which is very close to this restaurant. I've been to Harry's coffee shop in La Jolla but it's been over 20 years ago. Anyway, my father-in-law was having a birthday and I thought, oh we should go try out Harry's coffee shop in Del Mar. We walked in on a beautiful sunny Monday morning and it wasn't crowded. We felt like royalty. We got to take our time and figure out what table we wanted. There was fresh flowers on the tables. The staff was so kind and caring. My father-in-law got a complimentary birthday cinnamon roll even before we got our meal. I ordered the eggs Benedict because I wanted to try the hash-browns. They were perfectly hot and crispy. At the end of our brunch the owner was so sweet and gave my father-in-law a Harry's Coffee Shop ball cap. He was beaming. If you haven't tried Harry's, I highly recommend you do. You won't be disappointed. I'll be back!

Bennie waffle  and country fried steak waffle
Alexa D.

We went for a walk along the railroad at Del Mar planning to get ice cream at An's Hatmakers, but it wasn't open at 11 so we decided to go to brunch instead. We tried walking to the Stratford Cafe but couldn't find a table and didn't want to order, pay, and be stranded, so we walked up to this place and thought we would give it a try. We loved the outdoor seating! We each ordered a waffle special and they were delicious. The service was great and we liked the coffee too, which we are both picky about. We will be back!

Ask the Community - Harry's Coffee Shop

Do you have the thin waffles like the original location?

Good morning Katie, Yes, we have two styles of waffles: the classic American style you asked about and the thicker Belgian waffle.… 

Can we get the pancakes in mini form? aka mini pancakes instead of one large one?

Absolutely, yes. Ask for “Silver Dollar” pancakes, a very old school menu item at Harry’s. Long ago, there were two options on the menu for 12 or 6 Silver Dollar pancakes. You rekindled a great idea, thank you.

Absolutely delicious! Came here on a recent trip to San Diego and stopped by Mia's for lunch…read more We came here around 11:40ish on a Friday and there were already several people here. We did not have a reservation and were seated in the patio. This area is nicely shaded and there was a nice breeze. The sweet hostess recommended Volcano tostadas. We weren't overly hungry but ordered that, Mediterranean ceviche, and shared a Caesar salad. The ceviche arrived first and it was so beautifully presented. We dug in and it was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. Next, the tostadas came and they were equally delicious with perfectly tender and seasoned meat. The salad arrived last and it had the most delicious croutons I've ever had. They were crispy and buttery but not overly hard. Everything was really great from the friendly service to the food. I definitely want to stop by again on the way back!

Mia's came into my life about a year ago. I had been living down South and had moved back up to…read moreNorth County and it was one of the first places I tried when I got back. I was so excited to be back in Encinitas I was literally buzzing and Mia's made my move back a thousand times better. This is the place I recommend to anyone visiting and where I take family and friends every chance I get. It's one of those places that the minute you see it, you smile. And the second you walk in, you never want to leave. It's beautiful and has this Mediterranean sexy and pristine vibe that sucks you in. On to food- I've had most everything on the menu I think by now but I do have some favorites! -Oysters- phenomenal. They come with cucumber lime mezcal mignonette, cilantro and tajin. They are exquisite. They aren't super big ( no one wants an oversized oyster let's be real). I love oysters but if they are too big it ruins it for me. They are the perfect size and as fresh as ever. -Crispy Spanish Octopus- I am very picky with octopus and always hesitant to order it. They crush it here. Like it's not super chewy as it can be. It comes with romesco sauce, yukon (the best) potatoes, spanish chorizo and chimichurri sauce. It's wildly delicious and the only reason I don't order it every time is when I'm with someone that doesn't like octopus and I love to share things but other than that, it's one of my faves. -Hamachi Crudo- This one is so incredibly fresh and light but somehow so satisfying at the same time. It's made with mango citrus tiger's milk (uh huh), charred mango, avocado, jalapeno, cilantro, milk -Squash Blossom Quesadilla- I usually prefer to order pretty light but I came in famished beyond belief and saw this on the menu. Unreal. It's made with squash blossom, Chihuahua cheese, Oaxaca cheese, roasted poblano peppers, fire roasted tomatillo salsa, cotija, cilantro, green onion. We added chicken to it. It was SO good. And even though it was ya know, heavy-ish as it's a quesadilla, I didn't want to nap after. It was somehow still light which I loved. The tacos are all great, small so order a few! Empanadas are fire- I'm not even an empanadas person but they are extremely addicting. And the ahi club I had recently, split it with a friend and was perfect because it's a giant piece of ahi. It's not like the kind where the bread takes over. There is actually girth there, it's super fresh and so good. Drinks- I am also picky with margaritas. I feel like a lot of times they swim in sugar, have unnecessary ingredients and I get heartburn just looking at them LOL Not here. They are definitely my favorite in San Diego and I'm not just saying that. They have a few different kinds, I've had them all and they are all divine. My favorite is probably the carrot passionfruit. I try not to gulp it down and actually enjoy it-it's that good. It's also healthy so I tell myself I'm not drinking alcohol ha. The aguachile is amazing if you like a little spice and it's cucumber-esque so it's very refreshing. The coconut is unreal if you like coconut and it's not too sweet like you may picture. The classic marg is also one I get often. I actually love them all equally as they all offer something different depending on my mood! They have live music Wed and Fri 4:30-7:00 PM ( pretty sure! lol) Treat yourself and go experience pure bliss.
