    Stopped by to celebrate their 1 year anniversary. The staff were super sweet and welcoming. The owners were greeting everyone, and it was nice to chat with them. They offer a variety of things from coffee, to smoothies to sandwiches and desserts. My friend raved about how the breakfast sandwich was delicious. They had offered samples of a chicken sandwich which was really good and the brownie was rich decadent. They have a small seating area inside, but also offer a few tables outside if you'd like to stay and eat. I will definitely be stopping by here again, when I'm in the area.

    Too much mayo and hard as a rock

    How this place is so well reviewed is beyond me. This was about the worst sandwich I've ever had. Ordered the turkey sandwich. They completely over toasted the bread-so much that it is almost rock hard. See pics. Way too much mayo and then to top it off NO NAPKINS in bag on a to go phone in. Now I'm on a train ride hands covered in mayo. Count me out on this one ;)

    Quick Bites Cafe is part of a set of businesses in a corner complex in the heart of Little Italy. They have been open for less than a week. Several tables were out front on the sidewalk to complement the countertop seating inside that had four high-top chairs. The menu board listed four breakfast items, five sandwiches, four salads, smoothies, and hot/cold drinks. On display in a glass case at the service counter were some baked goods. The cashier (owner?) offered a sample of the passionfruit juice that was in a carafe next to the orange juice while I placed my order. The juice was quite refreshing. I picked The Turkey Deluxe to-go which was made up of sliced turkey, bacon, avocado, roma tomato, lettuce, mayo, salt & pepper, and pepper jack cheese. The components were served on focaccia bread. I also received a portion of the Chipotle Chicken sandwich as a freebie. The service was terrific as evident by the complimentary samples. The owner answered my questions and also asked some of his own. My only nitpick was that the bread seemed harder than I have experienced with focaccia. Otherwise, the sandwich tasted very good, and my visit to Quick Bites Cafe was pleasant to the point that I rounded up to five stars.

    First time here as I tried to venture out from my lunch norm. They have a variety of sandwiches. I ordered the club sandwich which was good. It was fresh. It was a bit on the heavy side for lunch though. Prices are slightly pricey however keep in mind you're in Little Italy. I'll probably go back and try something else. I really wanted coffee but I opted out. Perhaps next time I come back I'll get more than just a sandwich. Staff was nice and welcoming. I ordered via phone, picked up my sandwich and ate it inside on the side counter.

    Huge fan of quick bites! Food is delicious especially the foccacia they put their sandwiches on. I'd really like to highlight the incredible service though, one of the staff noticed my sandwich was lacking avocado while he was cleaning the table next to mine and immediately had them remake and let me keep the one I already had for free. Grade A service that I rarely see anymore. I'll definitely be back since it is such a great location in the heart of Little Italy.

    This newish sandwich shop opened in January, and we're so happy to have it in the neighborhood! Little Italy definitely needed a solid sandwich spot. They offer both breakfast and lunch options, and everything we've tried so far has been fresh and tasty. For most of the sandwiches, they give you a few bread options to choose from and the rosemary garlic is especially good--definitely recommend! The owner is very friendly and you can tell puts his heart into making the very best sandwiches for his customers. With that said, it can get a little backed up if busy, but I promise it's worth the wait. There is an option to order online and pick-up in store from their website for those that don't want to risk waiting. A great new addition to the area that we'll be coming back to regularly. If you're in Little Italy and craving a good sandwich, this place is worth checking out!

    Usually we try to go to places with more reviews but the reviews this place did have made it seem solid so we gave it a shot while we were in SD. The food and service were truly 10/10. I would have eaten this every morning for breakfast. We ordered the Bacon Bagel Blaster and the Brisket Chimichurri. The focaccia bread for the Brisket Chimichurri is some of the best focaccia I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend.

    Sadly I found Quick Bites Cafe hours before leaving SD so I was only able to try their Chimichurri Brisket sandwich on the Rosemary bread thank you Jr for the bread recommendation. This sandwich blew my mind it was so delicious. Looking forward to coming back here on my next visit so I can try one of their Bagel Blasters. If you live in SD or coming to visit don't sleep on this place

    The inside area is amazing!

    Came for the grand opening and it blew all my expectations!! It's such a needed place here in little Italy for a quick bite when you're in the neighborhood. I got the brisket sandwich and omygoodness was it bomb.com!! Plus the service was so helpful and nice. Overall recommend it to everyone and anyone in the area. A plus is that it's super pretty inside and plays good music!

    I got the brisket chimichurri sandwich on the rosemary garlic focaccia bread and it was absolutely amazing. I called in my order over the phone and it was ready when I got there. The people working there were friendly as well. I can't wait to try more of the sandwiches here.. especially the breakfast ones.

    This place is unbelievable! Came in on a morning and got blessed! The ultimate breakfast sandwich was big and tender- delicious. The bread (focaccia) is a rare find- so good. I ordered an orange juice but was pleased to find out they have maricuja (passion fruit juice). So, I got that instead. Got a coffee as well. I'll be back for a protein smoothy.

    Order

    I ordered the Turkey Deluxe And added cream cheese to it and you won't regret it . It was delicious. Sandwich was about $13.50. I believe for the location it was well worth it . Will definitely recommend at least the sandwich I had.

    I've had their coffee, today I finally got to try the chimichurri sandwich. It's every bite as good as it looks! There's a good amount of meat, a lot of flavorful chimichurri, and the focaccia.... Amazing. The only problem is it's so good I ate the whole thing when I meant to just have half! (And half would've been more than enough for lunch!) It was so good I've thought about it every day since. The owners also couldn't be nicer! If you're in Little Italy and looking for a quick sandwich or salad or coffee or breakfast sandwich or smoothie definitely stop in!

The bartenders in front of us were clearly having a conversation and I didn't want to interrupt. My friend claimed her Irish coffee was sour? And didn't realize cheese came on a side of eggs (she should've checked when she ordered but the server never clarified either). We weren't checked on during the meal until the bill came and by then we just wanted to leave. I ordered the fluffy pancakes and found an egg shell inside. The cracking of eggshells in my mouth made me loose my appetite. We paid (still tipped of course) and left. It was great the first time and mediocre the second time. I prefer consistently in service, especially if I'm waiting an hour to be seated.

We had spent most of the day around Bankers Hill and decided to grab an early dinner at Books & Records. Getting reservations was easy, but from the moment we walked in, the ambiance alone already had us sold. The place was still pretty quiet when we arrived, and to our surprise it was happy hour, so naturally we ordered a bunch of items off the menu along with drinks. Everything was ridiculously good. Not one miss. What really stood out though was the attention to detail. The host brought us a complimentary glass of champagne after hearing we were celebrating our anniversary. Small gesture, big impact. Stuff like that matters. As the night went on, the restaurant filled up, live music started playing, and the whole atmosphere just came alive. Our waiter never rushed us once, which made the experience feel even more intentional and relaxed. We were able to actually enjoy the moment instead of feeling pushed through dinner service. Good food is one thing. Great hospitality is another. This place gave us both. Next time we're in San Diego, we're absolutely making it a point to come back. Lovely spot. Lovely experience.

There was several couples seated at the bar area but lots of open high tables in the middle and a large party seated on the side. I quickly noticed too on the way inside that there's about 3 different sections of seating for people so they must get very packed!!! We sat at the high table next to where I think a live band would be performing, since there was a spot nearby with a bunch of wiring going on. Definitely looks amazing inside with the decor and furniture of the spot adding some pleasant vibes. I don't think there's that much, but there are just enough records and books when you look around (and also use the restroom). This spot seems to be best for those who want to drink with their meals. We didn't drink this time around because we had a long drive back to LA. We absolutely enjoyed the Pork Belly Bao Buns and utilized the happy hour deal to enjoy it with a side of their deliciously crisp fries. The flat iron steak was also very yummy and left us wanting to eat more... Yeah, if you're the type to need a lot to be filled up you either need to pay another entree to eat more or eat some dessert afterwards. Anyways, this spot was perfect for a date night and we were treated very well by the staff and our server!!!

Our waiter was charismatic, attentive, and helpful. As all the reviews mention, the portions are massive, probably enough to share between 2-3 people each. I ordered: Peanut butter mocha - Done decently, with strong coffee and not just sweet, but has a slight almost alcohol flavor that was cloying on the tongue Raspberry macadamia flapjack with scrambled eggs and crispy potatoes - The flapjack is so amazingly thick and fluffy, one of the best pancakes I've had. The macadamia is chopped small and pretty abundant throughout, with big pockets of juicy raspberries. I had the option between sausage, bacon, and crispy potatoes (unusual that you have to choose between potatoes and protein), and got the crispy potatoes to try. They were indeed crisp, but altogether not that special. The flavor was just salt and not much else. Andy's famous fried chicken benedict - Delicious. Show stopper. Get it. Just pure deliciousness on a plate with an incredible and rich sauce coating every bite of crispy, juicy chicken and veggie packed, garlicky mashed potatoes. It's fun to marvel at the massive portions coming out of the kitchen together, the service is great, and there are some really tasty items on the menu. Definitely worth an occasional stop.

"Over medium" eggs came barely cooked, still had clear egg gel floating around. The table next to us had the same issue. The fried chicken, which is beautiful looking, was strangely flavorless. Another table was also talking about this issue. Bacon was way overcooked as well. I also really dislike when food timing for a table is way off. I rather it stay in the kitchen under a heat lamp and come together rather that spend 5 minutes staring at my food being polite. So, for a fun "wow that's a ton of food" experience this is it. But I much prefer quality ingredients and attention to detail and flavor over unfinishable portions at a premium price point ($100 after tip for 2 ppl).
