Waitress never came back. Food was good. Nice breeze outside. Lost out in another beer.

Great service and food! I always come in for their upside down pineapple pancakes - delicious! It's nice and clean here too! read more

Service was super quick and friendly. We came for Sunday breakfast around 8:30 am and it was still quiet. This made it easy to get coffee refills at the coffee bar - I really loved the Kona hazelnut variety and went back a couple times to refill. I had the combo and my hubby got the pancakes with eggs/bacon. Food was hot and tasty. Everything came out great as the server asked if we want certain items extra toasted or crispy which I appreciated. Pancakes were slightly darker than expected but still great flavor. read more

Nayeli's service was amazing this morning. She was very personable, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we sat down. Swami's Restaurant continues to be one of my favorite spots because the food is always fresh, the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and the team consistently makes the experience feel personal. The breakfast was excellent, the service was quick, and Nayeli really added to the positive experience. Please pass along my appreciation to her and the team read more

One of the best spots for breakfast or brunch! The menu has plenty of options, including gluten-free and vegetarian choices! The food quality has always been amazing, and the portions are very generous! The atmosphere is also really welcoming and easygoing, making it a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal! Our waiter, Emmanuel, was incredibly attentive & helpful; making sure everything came out perfectly. His service really made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this place and will absolutely be coming back! read more

Major hit with my kids and very family friendly. They options are great for breakfast and lunch. They have quick service and quality food.

Great experience! This location is big, bright, and clean. They have a big menu with both breakfast/brunch and lunch items. We had a large party over the weekend so we expected the food to come out really slow but it was nicely paced. The only hiccup was that the pancakes took much longer to come out compared to everything else. The food was great and the portion sizes were huge. We had enough for leftovers. Will definitely be back! read more

I ordered breakfast to have t delivered to the hospital, when it got here it was a mess,potato hadn't touch the grill, not good to order early mornings I ended up throwing the rest in the trash read more

Food is delicious, when served when ready, instead of languishing under the hot lamps. Service is always abysmal at this location.

Great experience great food!! Recommend for brunch or lunch staff very friendly. 10/10 experience

Large selection of different meals. Quality and unique food. The service is always quick and friendly.

The service was the best so grateful for our server Nayeli! She was so attentive and helpful and very efficient! The food was really delicious we loved the house salad and we are planning on coming back to try more dishes here! It was really chilly inside but it's possible because we were under a vent. The music wasn't too loud, and the space didn't feel crowded at all. read more

Came on a cold and foggy morning around 9:30 am on a Saturday before the rush. I turned around when we left and it was completely packed. I've never been here before and it's really close to my home. That is dangerous because this place is good. We were out on the patio which was open and with heat lamps. It was really nice on a cold day with those heat lamps. Corbyn was fantastic and sweet. Very helpful help with giving suggestions on our order. I ordered the lobster omelette which was very flavorful with a side of corn beef hash. I really like the corn beef hash. My friend ordered the potato burrito with bacon inside and my other friend ordered the Huevos Rancheros. read more

We stopped by to celebrate Father's Day and this place did not disappoint. We were seated relatively quickly considering the busy holiday and the service was impeccable! I can't say enough great things about Karelly!! She was patient, attentive and had an answer for every question we had about the menu! She made the experience even better with her great customer service! The food was also amazing, we tried everything from chilaquiles to the açaí and pitaya bowl and everything was absolutely flavorful and delicious! We would definitely come back! read more

I've lived in several different areas over the years -- Oceanside, spent a lot of time in Encinitas, and now I've been in the 4S Ranch area for a few years. Before moving here, I was only willing to go to the OG Encinitas location. The other locations I had tried just never impressed me. One day I finally decided to give it a chance, and I am so glad I did. Depending on the time of year and how busy life is, this place has become a weekly staple for me. I usually go for breakfast. On occasion, I'll grab lunch, and I've never been disappointed. The staff at this location are impeccable. Truly wonderful. The service alone keeps me coming back. As a breakfast lover, I will always recommend anything on the breakfast menu -- but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here. This visit I tried one of their seasonal drinks, the Brown Sugar Honey Latte (no whip, no caramel, with a dash of cinnamon), and of course, my favorite, the California Scrambler with homestyle potatoes and sourdough toast. You won't be disappointed. read more

Walked in and was warmly greeted. The ambience is just right for a weekend breakfast. Was quickly sat and menu looks endless. Visiting for soccer tournament read more

This was our 2nd time being here. Loved the seasonal items offered. The carrot cake coffee was delicious. The service was decent. Food was overall really good, but some of the food was interesting. My youngest ordered an Acai bowl, but the first bowl came already half melted. We reordered another one without Pollen and it came better. Not sure that is the best Swami's food. The Chillaquilles was delicious, but spicy. read more

Th pancakes were good the omelettes were very disappointing an the overall service was bad we finished all if our drinks and it took 20 minutes for them to come and refill it. read more

Great food, got the corned beef and was satisfied! Also very friendly staff and server!

Wow! What a treat! Go to Swami's if you're HUNGRY. These portions are the stereotypical "American" sizes. Europeans steer clear :). Also--awkward server but he's getting the hang of things. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite to go...was expecting more of a counter type place, it's a full sit-down restaurant. Try nice inside. Hostess was very nice. I got the chicken quesadilla to go. It was about $18 so I was a little worried...turns out, huge! Stuffed with chicken...like, enough chicken that you can't actually eat it like a quesadilla. Excellent quality, portion size and flavors!!!!! Came with a side of chips that were unbelievably good. They are dusted with something that's like Tajin...very very crispy/crunchy. I don't live in this area but i would come Back for sure to try the rest of the menu. read more

The drinks here were incredible. The carrot cake latte was easily one of the best I've had, and the cream cheese cold foam is unreal. Our waitress, Corbin, made the experience even better. Super engaging, really knew the menu, and was patient without ever feeling overbearing. Overall, I love it here and will definitely be back. read more

We love Swami's in 4S Ranch! The food is always fresh, portions are generous, and there are tons of options for everyone. It's become one of our go-to spots for breakfast and lunch with the family. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. Definitely recommend if you're in the 4S Ranch area! read more

We've been fans of the original Swami's in Encinitas for over two decades and decided to try our local Swami's for a Friday brunch today. We had both the breakfast and lunch menus to choose our food. Both of us selected breakfast items: Huevos Rancheros (5/5) -- One of the best Huevos Rancheros I've had in recent years. Black beans were much welcomed rather than refried beans. The Ranchero sauce was tasty with a good level of heat. $14.50 Stuffed French Toast (5/5) -- Delicious thick French Toast filled with cream cheese and berries, garnished with fresh berries, and topped with a berry sauce. $15.75 There's a self-service coffee bar with four flavors of regular coffee and a Columbian Decaf. Mugs are at the coffee bar. The coffee was good (4/5 $3.95) with free refills. I tried both the Kona coffee (3/5) and Mexican blend (4/5). Our server, Emmanuel, was very good. We sat at a table on the outdoor patio, which was nice. Inside seating options are booths, tables, and a communal bar. Decor is simple light wood. read more

We ordered the El Paso Benedict and California Chicken Wrap. This was my first time trying the El Paso Benedict and I wasn't too big of a fan of the pork chorizo but overall pretty good. We were seated in the patio area which had good lighting and it wasn't too hot or too cold. There was some dust and such that was flying around when the wind blew though. read more

This place should have more stars, not sure why it only has 3. Been here a couple of times and I've enjoyed it, the Belgium waffle anything is good there, the breakfast plates are always big and so we share it, and get a little something for the sweet tooth. They have a coffee station so you can do your own refills, which I appreciate because I drink a lot of coffee, and I don't have to wait for a waiter to fill me up. The plates large portions make the prices worth it, when you get your plate it's always aesthetically pleasing and that is a major plus for us because it looking pretty makes me want it to eat even more. The place is cute inside and staff is always friendly the extra plus is that it's a next to a target and sprouts so I run my errands at the same time. There is plenty of parking and you can have larger parties meet here, so I will keep coming here. read more
