Great vibe, plenty of outdoor seating, aesthetic, & the BEST breakfast burrito i've ever had -- enough said! Bacon, guacamole, tater tots (genius), egg, and a rly yummy salsa on the side! Also had the dirty shirley and the macadamia nut brown sugar latte & they were fabuloussssss Will be back next time I'm in San Diego

Breakfast Burrito
Shelby S.

We had a great experience at Palmys! The restaurant was clean and well decorated inside and out. The food was REALLY good with perfect portions - we split the breakfast burrito (vg & the GF tortilla was great - not crumbly!) and the blue horizon acai bowl. The acai bowl was naturally sweet, not overpowering. They offer merch & local goods up front, and the cafe has plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. They also offer coffee/ tea, which I will try next time! :-)

Been wanting to trying Palmys forever! Came on Saturday at 11:30 on memorial weekend so def maybe busier than usual! It is an order at the front & find your own seat. We got lucky with a table of 6 opening up but otherwise looked like every table was taken. Took about 30 mins to move through the line to order & 30 mins to get food but otherwise not too bad, there were signs with time warnings. I got the chicken & waffles, was so pleased they were gluten free! Friend ordered the same but they forgot to take off the peppers for her allergy. Such a cute nature forward space, would be a great spot to work from home however, they have no outlets. Would go again to try their cafe drinks!

Love this place! Cozy chairs, lovely plants, calm decor. Have had so far: Honey cinnamon latte - wonderful, perfect amount of sweet El Salvadorian smoothie - perfectly reshreshing fruity smoothie Breakfast burrito - overall fresh and wonderful with the crispy tots, but I'd say it could use some spices or bit more flavor. All the staff I interacted with were all lovely and helpful. Great place to laptop from but keep in mind - no electrical outlets! My fave is sitting on a cozy chair next to the tree with all the crazy branches :) Overall a great spot with quality food.

Palmsy in Pacific Beach is such a great coffee spot, especially if you love a good outdoor setup. Their patio is one of my favorite parts, lots of trees and greenery, it almost feels like you're hanging out in someone's backyard. They also have indoor seating which is also cute - very California, but the outdoor space really stands out. It's super close to the beach, which makes it a perfect stop whether you're walking around the area or meeting up with friends. The coffee is great, and they have a wide variety of options for both drinks and food, so there's something for everyone. It's also a solid place to sit and get some work done since there's plenty of space. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Even though it's a crowded place, the food still comes pretty fast. Parking can be a bit tricky, but that's pretty typical for the area. Overall, I always have a great time here, whether I'm stopping by solo or with friends. Definitely one of my go-to spots in PB.

Big Swell Burrito
Amanda Y.

4 stars just because the line took a pretty long time. The cinnamon roll was heavenly, the breakfast burritos were great, but there was nothing special about the coffee. We went during a heat wave, and the place doesn't have air conditioning but a lot of outdoor seating and fans inside. Overall a cute place in PB, but if youre looking for a brunch spot that's quick and easy I'd skip out, just because it took a while.

Latte

One of my favorite cafes in San Diego! The ambiance is incredible. You eat among the palm trees. It's a small oasis and feels so far away from the city! The food's incredible. I can't put into words how good their burritos are. I also love their lattes. Wait times can be slightly long, but well worth it. The service is great with the baristas making my drink right away. All in all, an amazing restaurant and one I highly recommended!

The staff was very polite, my table order the poke bowl, a salad, and I got the catch of the day which was rock fish - tuna was grey and the catch of the day was rockfish, frozen, rubbery and bland and the beans were canned. They were happy to refund both - the salad and banana bread were yummy, ambiance was cool too

I'm scared to post this review because I don't want this place to get super busy, however I just do my due diligence as a yelper . This is easily one of my FAVORITE coffee shops in pacific beach to do work. The food here is sooo good and there are so many options from vegan to vegetarian. The food is on the healthier side but it's SO tasty. The coffee is okay, it's not the best. But the ambiance, the work space and the cleanliness make up for it. If you want to get work done in a quiet spot with a nice view and fresh air, this is the spot to come.

Beautiful outdoor corner spot! Perfect Tuesday afternoon to be outside. There were many patrons working on the patio. Two outdoor sections, open or private with a hedge. We weren't very hungry so we shared the Thai Quinoa Salad. I was tasty, but I wish they cut up the lettuce. I don't like to work before I eat my meal. My friend also got an iced coffee latte. She enjoyed it! This would be an excellent location to people watch on a bustling weekend. The table next to us was super friendly. We chatted it up about our dogs. Bonus points for being a dog friendly business!

Entrance to Palmy's

A lovely spot in Pacific Beach for relaxing, hanging out, and/or working! The vibes here are literally immaculate! It feels like hanging out in a friend's super cute beachside home, with some cozy seating where the living room would be, and an ordering counter for the kitchen. There was also plenty of seating throughout the outdoor patio, which wraps around its corner lot and gives everyone plenty of room to spread out and find cozy, semi-private spaces for themselves. There's some lovely light bites, pastries, and other treats you could order, although we just got some coffee drinks when visiting. For myself - the Matcha Latte with a bit of honey, which was prepared absolutely perfectly! So foamy, soft, and soothing to sip in a nice big green mug! This is legitimately one of the best Matcha Lattes I've ever ordered from a cafe! The barista lady was also very friendly and took so much care and attention into preparing each drink. The coffee drinks were a bit pricey, and I ended up paying $11 after leaving a tip...but honestly the quality of the drink and the vibes of the environment made up for that price tag. I loved Palmy's and would definitely come back - I highly recommend stopping by when you're in the Pacific Beach area!

El Salvadoran Lifesaver
Allison P.

If SD materialized into a cafe, it would definitely be Palmys! It's the most adorable beachside spot where you can buckle down and be productive while still enjoying the sunshine and ocean breeze. Located in PB, they're situated in a pretty walkable part of town. There's plenty of available street parking and you can pop in and out of neighboring establishments. Walking in, this cafe looks like a converted spacious beach house. There's so much charm and character. Littered outside and along their wrap around porch is plenty of different seating options. They also have a slew of tables nestled inside. It was a hotter day, so I asked for smoothie recos. The cashier recommended the El Salvadoran Lifesaver which apparently has been the smoothie of the summer! It features mango, pineapple, passionfruit, orange juice, strawberry, and coconut water. It was like a tropical summer in a cup. Super fun, light, and yummy!

Patricia U.

My daughter took me here today, enjoyed the atmosphere, location, cool breeze, setting, just wish they had a few ceiling fans or table fans to keep the flies away. Order at the counter, find a table and your delicious plate is delivered. Good coffee choices, and breakfast dishes. Thoroughly enjoyed our chilaquiles, wish the chicken was cooked all the way through; definitely worth ordering. Matcha was strong the way I like it and not sweetened. Also ordered the blue bowl with granola, fresh cut strawberries, bananas, honey blueberries; unique, fresh and delightful. Would love to come back.

Are there outlets for charging?

Are there bike racks outside of the restaurant?

Is it a good place to work/study?

It can get pretty busy so if you don't mind that then it's fine to work/study. They don't have table service so you would have to go up to the counter to order. It's not convenient when you have a laptop to watch and seating to save.

What are the hours? They don't seem to be listed anywhere?

7am-3pm

Do they allow pet dogs?

Yes, outside. Lots of seating and lots of dogs.

PLANNING A BIRTHDAY HERE? READ BEFORE YOU GO!…read more I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday, and while the atmosphere was amazing, the experience had its downsides. The wait was TWO HOURS! After waiting 15 minutes in line on the stairs, we were told about the wait. The restaurant was also difficult to find, tucked up a staircase in a hidden area, with no designated waiting area. We had to wait near the elevator lobby until our table was ready. The food and drinks were just okay, nothing too special. However, the atmosphere was beautiful! My favorite feature was the unique glass bathroom with its unusual toilets and sinks. FINAL THOUGHTS: Beautiful ambiance, but the long wait and lack of a proper waiting area took away from the experience. If you're celebrating a birthday here, plan ahead and be prepared to wait!

Food: - Flat iron steak: delicious and super tendy with a nice crust. Came with an arugula salad - Fish of the day: today was rock fish with a creamy panang/thai sauce and it was DELICIOUS - Duck: my table's favorite dish. You can make your own tiny tacos and the macha chili was seriously the best thing ever - French fries: nice horsestring fries, cant go wrong - Tuna crudo: super light and citrusy and flavorful, but only like 5-6 pieces - Chicken skewers: this honestly fell really flat. Would not recommend, i'd say it's the worst thing on the menu and surprisingly fell short. Doesnt feel like it belongs on the menu. - Brussel Sprouts: really good and unique with a peanut butter sauce - Mac and cheese: yummy but nothing special Overall was a great experience but I'd probably only come here on special occasions.

Something about it spiritually makes me feel a bit grounded into history. I love the fresh rosemary they place in the dish as well. Such a unique touch of earthy-love I'm just glad it wasn't a hour wait or longer how I was repeatedly warned. We got seats right away. Could've been due to the construction on the street near by. I'll definitely return whenever I'm in town.

Thank goodness there was room too, because wow oh wow. It has been three weeks and we keep talking about that happy hour.

I ordered the Kiwilango slider + fries, my mom got the HH fish & chips, and my dad got the wagyu smash slider. Plus $10 beers, of course. Everything came out quickly and beautifully portioned, which made getting dessert (magpie ice cream cake) a no brainer. Delicious!!!
