What an amazing place this little hidden gem in Coronado. All the food feels like it was made with love. The croque monsieur is delightful and the greens that go with it next level someone in our group even bought the dressing to take home. Don't forget a dessert we tried. The salted caramel brownie was earth shattering.. We really enjoyed all of our time there from the attention of the staff to the well thought out food and the cute environment that you see then right on the corner to watch all the action You can come take away as well so if you're in the mood for a little a little scone, you can get those there too read more

Worst brunch of my life!! Where do I even begin? We were in Coronado looking for a brunch spot and this place came recommended. Since we had never tried a European-style café before, we thought we'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Everything from the food to the ambiance and overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The paninis were unbelievably bland -- they really need some kind of sauce or spread because they had almost no flavor at all. On top of that, the prices were surprisingly high for what we received. The desserts were around $11 each, and they didn't even taste fresh. The bread pudding was so hard we could barely get our fork through it. The only redeeming thing about this place is the location. Otherwise, the tables and floors looked unclean, which made the whole experience even more off-putting. This restaurant really needs to revisit its menu and overall upkeep because, as it stands, it's not a place we'd return to. read more

The host and server did not look happy. Almost as if they were upset with me for being the kind of person who would go there to eat. But that doesn't matter. What matters is the food. And the fact that they sell a tuna salad sandwich with very hard bread (it was warm when it came out, but cools off and hardens fast) and leaves with dressing for $16 when you can get a tuna sandwich with soft bread and a bag of chips for $7.95 just fifty feet away at Boney's Bayside Market. Maybe that's why the server looked so upset with me; he assumed I was one of those rich, out-of-touch Coronado idiots who continue to blow their money on crap like this. And it's so upsetting to see how wasteful people can be with their money. I'm just a working class guy who made a wrong lunch decision is all. (I should've gotten fruit instead of salad. It was ONLY $3.50 more...) read more

Tartine - Two stars because of the generous amount of tuna. But otherwise... - Desserts Near Me - Coronado, California

I come here for coffee and I stay here for the atmosphere. The baked goods entice me some where in between. This is my favorite cafe on the island to sit down and enjoy good coffee with better company. The patio feels nestled, but spacious offering a great venue to sit and relax. The coffee is very good for a cafe that offers a full pastry and food menu. I typically order the cappuccino here as it provides a good balance between strong espresso and milky lattes. The food is high end and I enjoy exploring something new every time. The eggplant panini is incredible. The rotating stock of baked goods are never the same and I enjoy the surprise of what flavor of scone they'll have whatever day I found myself here. If you're in a rush (sorry), their take out service is efficient. read more

I got a decaf earl grey and the seared tuna sandwich. The tea was soothing. I would've liked a bit more seasoning on the fish itself, but it was quite good otherwise. The white sauce did pull most of the remaining weight. The tuna was also super thick and fat, definitely not a small portion. The bun was also thick and supportive. The fries were generically good. They remind me McDonald's fries a bit, but when they're actually fresh and have nice texture. I get the sense that this may not have been their best items. If I come back, I sorta want some quiche and salad. read more

Enjoyed a nice quiet breakfast out side. Had a cold brew and Mexican mocha along with an order of granola and oatmeal. Nathaniel was nice and let us take our time relaxing and enjoying our coffee. He offered for us to look at their pastries as their dessert menu changes daily. read more

Wow! Great food. Had the stroganoff. Huge chunks of beef, great cheese and they make the pasta themselves. Best stroganoff I have had ever. And don't forget the deserts They make themselves and fresh daily. Had this insane cookie and yes I had the brownie. Looking forward to going back and trying the rest of the desserts and menu. First time, but not my last. read more

Tartine - Deserts at the end of the day. - Desserts Near Me - Coronado, California

Nice seating indoors and out. Indoors is very noisy with most of it coming from the staff and kitchen. Very loud. They open early but their breakfast menu is extremely limited. Cafe was very good. Oatmeal was standard. Croissant was very nice and served warm. Seems it really is about the takeout pastries until lunch. Wouldn't come back with a group for breakfast unless you want coffee and light food. Lunch and dinner menu are more extensive. Example they don't serve any eggs at breakfast unless you buy the $20 quiche. Service was decent but no follow up in the taste of food nor cafe check. Seems they were busy still setting up the tables and getting squared away. Example: They delivered the table flowers at the end of my meal as a drive by with no words. Just plunked it down. Should have that done before they open. Get a reservation for outside tables. They offered a table but then told me the best tables were reserved. Was here for a good bit and no one ever sat at them. Va bene. Tables and floor were a bit dirty for starting the day. Overall a solid 3 based on selections, cleanliness, price and value. It's got a bit of a cult following but I think it is time for a refresh and increased attention to detail. If you want a full true breakfast this isn't the place on Coronado. read more

What a cute cafe! Recommended by the valet at the hotel when I asked for good coffee and he said, "there is a European bakery up the street..." I said, say no more. Great baked goodies, a large food and lunch menu, and delicious coffee. I will be back! Service for to go was super friendly. read more

Tartine - Prime location right at the viewpoint. - Desserts Near Me - Coronado, California

Five stars baby! Great food, great service and what a vibe! My go-to for dining with friends. My favorite bistro by far in San Diego/Coronado. Highly recommend. read more

So I think similar to other reviews we waited a bit by the sign that requests you wait to be seated, until I saw someone walk past me to the register so we waited in that line i let to get to the front and again not be acknowledged by any stay for a few more minutes. Then when we did begin to order they asked "to go" and when we stated for her is when we were seated. Overall waiting to order maybe took 20 minutes? I can understand- there was little staff present between orders bussing and making drinks. It's a large restaurant so it's hard to staff. The food was delicious, we ordered a pavlova, the banana chocolate chip coffee cake, a charcuterie board and two coffees. I could have been happier with the meal. We weren't in a hurry so really the wait was fine. read more

It was one of the worst services i have experienced in San Diego. We first didn't even know that we had to be guided to a seat so we went to the takeout ordering counter only for the guy to be annoyed. And then once were seated we were not offered any of the complimentary bread and had to embarrassingly ask for it in the middle of our meal and were served cold, hard bread. On top of that we were not even aware that there was a December specials menu and were not even offered. Safe to say we are NOT coming back read more

Stopped at this Cute little European style cafe in Coronado to celebrate with a friend. I liked the feel of the restuarunt. It reminded me a lot of an outdoor French cafe. We ate outside and there were alot of flies, but they have table fans to keep them away (I only realized what it was halfway through my meal). My waiter Nate was kind and attentive. Positives: As far as food goes, I really liked the Cheese platter with Baugette as a shareable with friends. It came with goat cheese, Blue Cheese, and Brie with fruits and an amazing nut bread. The dessert here was to die for! I had the white chocolate lemon tarte and my mother had the Ricotta Pistachio tarte and it was delectable! Negatives: I asked for hot tea, but had to return because the tea was in a plastic bag even though it is Organic, if you are trying to steer away from microplastics, order the coffee. For my meal I had the Eggplant Panini, the bread was perfect and crisp but inside lacked in flavor. If you order this ask for a side of their balsalmic dressing, it really made it delicious. It came with a side of greens, I am normally a salad person but the greens tasted so bitter. I recommend getting the fruit instead. Some of the silverware had to be sent back to the kitchen because it was dirty. Overall it was a good experience. read more

We were in town visiting in late April. We've always come here for breakfast, but never for dinner. So, we gave them a try for dinner. Rachel was our server and she is a sweetheart! We so enjoyed talking with her. We ordered the salmon and beef stroganoff. Both were excellent! So often salmon is overcooked, but this salmon was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The beef stroganoff was the best we ever had! It's not a traditional recipe, but has tri tip, cremini mushrooms, onion sauce and gruyere cheese. So delicious! We also ordered a mocha which was very good and a chocolate peanut butter Pot de Creme (which was good, but we really couldn't taste much peanut butter). We returned the next day for breakfast and Sergio was our server. He was very personable (Tartine hires terrific servers). The quiche, as always was very delicious and we had another mocha. Tartine is our "go to" place when we are in town. read more

Food was good, service was terrible, my wife orderd a tea pot then asked for honey, we had to ask numerous times, by the time they brought it, tea wad cold and to top it off it wasn't even real honey, it was so runny and tasted nothing like honey. Server was nowhere to be found, basically ignored us. We had to ask another server for our bill then no one came to take our CC...I had to go up and pay at cashier. So disapointed that there was no bakery stuff on the menu, really wanted a croissant. read more

Stopped by on a chilly evening and grabbed a hot chai latte. I was thrilled that they had alternative milks to choose from. My drink was hot and tasty. They had some nice food menus that appeared to have fresh ingredients and lovely looking pastries. I'll earmark it for next time I'm in town. read more

The food was alright but overpriced for what it was; I ordered a ham and Gruyère quiche slice with fruit and a vanilla latte. The quiche crust was difficult to cut, and the eggs had the consistency of store-bought tofu. Coffee was good, though. We arrived at the left entrance, which apparently did not have the "wait to be seated" sign for some reason, and when we entered, the one that greeted us was annoyed. Inside, another server took our order, but got my quiche's side wrong and gave a rather rude question of whether one of the people at my table were "done picking at their food". Atrociously loud ambiance almost all of the time we were inside, so consider an outdoors seat. Overall, very disappointing for a nice-looking casual European spot. read more

We have eaten at this restaurant many times. Never disappointed - The food is quite good. Desserts are outstanding ( made by chef's wife) Staff is very friendly and accommodating. They are visible without being intrusive. A very nice dining experience. read more

Amazing Food , great service smiles! All I needed! Thank you t The bass and the beet salad were to die for. The staff were smiling and friendly. It's heaven to eat here. Thank you again read more

My friend brought introduced me to Tartine a couple of months ago. I had the curry chicken salad & loved it. The service was great, loved the cozy cafe vibe. Last week my husband and I stopped in for dinner, he had the fish special & I had salmon salad. also tried vanilla mascarpone cheesecake for dessert, which was amazing. We had dinner there again tonight and we're not disappointed. Excellent service, every staff member was super friendly, food was excellent. So glad I discovered Tartine! read more

Excellent brunch with great service and European ambience. We had the quiche and ham and Brie baguette - both were excellent - so much so that we ordered seconds, which we rarely do! read more

Tartine is our FAVORITE! The beef stroganoff is fantastic. We love the variety of desserts. The whole wrapped lemon tart is gorgeous as a hostess gift or dessert for a dinner party. Or just for yourself. Also- hide it from your teenage children. The service is wonderful. We like eating outside year round; the heaters in the winter do the trick. read more

We were looking for a quick breakfast before heading home but wanted to go somewhere in walking distance from the Marriott. I wanted more than just a carby sweet pastry so we walked a few more blocks to Tartine. They were busy with a long line for a table but since we were going to get take out, we walked right in and placed our order at the counter. My teen was swooning over the super friendly server who took our order. ( I didn't catch his name but he's tall, moustached and easy on the eyes with the best customer service we've ever had... seriously the most genuinely friendly person ever!!) The quiche was thick and dense but not too cheesy. And I appreciated being able to swap in the fruit instead of the bread option. I liked the spicy chai but my teen did not... so I drank both. LOL! I'd rec this place and def want to return to try their pastries for dessert read more

Came here because this is one of the few places that has pavlova which is one of my favorite desserts. It was pretty good, I wouldn't say it's the best since my favorite place to get pavlova would be black radish. What i didn't expect to get was coffee in the afternoon but I saw a seasonal pumkin latte on the menu and had to try. This was unexpectedly amazing. They put actual pumpkin in and it taste so good. I would come back just for the coffee, wish it isn't just a seasonal item read more

We came to this place on a Friday afternoon to snag a cookie on the way to relaxing by the water. This place has a patio and inside to sit for a meal, however, the inside was quite snug. I had to squeeze through to view the cookies. The staff at the counter were very polite and answered questions that we had. The cookie was really delicious so I would definitely come back for more when I am in the area. read more

It was a Wednesday afternoon at about 2:30pm. As soon as I approached the outdoor host stand, I was immediately greeted by a waitress and also by a busser. It wasn't busy, so there was no wait, but I did observe some "regulars" as the staff were personable with them. Love to see that. It's a sit and be served type of place but you can also order pastries and such at the counter to go. The staff were excellent. I accidentally knocked over my full glass of water when I pushed my laptop forward, the busser immediately came over to clean it up and the waitress brought me a new cup - all very nice about it. Atmosphere: they had background instrumental music playing. It can be loud by noise of coffee machines and such, so I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a quiet place to work or study from - unless you don't mind the noise, I didn't. I ordered an ice chai tea latte and a raspberry crumb loaf. The loaf had this nice crisp outer crust and was moist inside - I'd have it again!The chai tea latte was light in spice and decent - only decent because I like it more spiced! I will go back and have something off their food menu. I enjoyed the atmosphere and they had great service, plus it's literally across the street from the bay. There's street parking right out front so you could grab a drink and take a stroll. I'll be back! read more

Good for brunch. Light meals. If you have a sweet tooth they have good lists of cakes and pastries. Then go for a walk nearby and visit some local shops. read more

Was visiting Coronado and stopped in here to pick up some baked goods to walk around with and look across the water. They outdoor patio area looked quite cozy and the interior also had a cozy, relaxing aesthetic. I didn't get a chance to sit down and order a meal, but I'm giving this place 5 stars solely on their cookies. These large cookies were perfect, in my opinion. The snickerdoodle was crazy delicious and the peanut butter was perfection. Will certainly be coming back to try their breakfast and plated meals, but the bakery items are enough to come back for. read more

I have been coming to Tartine for 7 years since I moved here from NY. Their selection, quality and service have been consistently outstanding every time I have been here. I have never had anything that wasn't delicious and perfectly prepared, and the service has always been professional, friendly, rapid and organized. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend. read more

The quiche is incredible Creamy custard texture served w mixed baby greens or fresh fruit. Almond croissant hit the sweet spot. Rachel our server is knowledgeable friendly and professional The pastry case contains lovely little works of art adding to the casually elegant Coronado vibe. Highly recommend Tartine! read more

Tartine is so cute! I love the cafe feel of the indoor and outdoor seating. It's dog friendly too! They have peanut butter dog biscuits for .75 cents each. You can come here for a meal or just to enjoy some dessert and coffee. We stopped by here after lunch to grab dessert to-go. The cherry apple crumble is not too sweet, but so delicious and will fulfill your sweet tooth craving. The employees here are super welcoming and friendly. They even have table fans to keep flies away outside.. every restaurant should have this! It's brilliant. read more

Not impressed at all. Service was good, pastry was good, food quality was subpar -- and now I'm writing more to satisfy the word count

My favorite place in Coronado! What a quaint neighborhood restaurant surprise. The gnocchi was light and delicious. Every bite was delightful. And the desserts...The chocolate scone was perfection. The strawberry shortcake bread pudding was one of the best desserts I've ever had. Cannot wait to try the many breakfast items and coffee. read more

Food was okay, service was okay as well. Probably won't be back since I've had better.

I've lived here for 12 years or so. I use to regularly go to Tartine for deserts. Four of us went last night and today, and had the same server. The deserts were good not great last night and the breakfast was atrocious today. Yesterday we were confronted by the same waitress over a tea that my step father brought in where she pointed to the "no outside drinks" in a dramatic way on the menu. Today, the quiche hadn't set so it was like eating a liquid egg scramble without flavor. The sandwiches ordered (eggplant) were rubbery and over cooked. The soda was delivered in a can with a straw. The waitress was rude again to our table and to other tables who walked in the restaurant. We should have just got up and left but we had an hour before we needed to go. Won't be coming back, prices were high for really awful food. When I say really awful, I'm talking really awful. read more

So cute and hits the spot in terms of French food. What you can't go wrong getting is the Tartine sandwiches or quiche. Also all their pastries and desserts look amazing. I have tried the croissant and the chocolate mousse and the vanilla tart. SO GOOD!! Coffee is great too. I love to order a cappuccino, croissant, and people watch. Double shot cappuccino is the way to go. Service was very friendly. She helped us choose food and had an amazing attitude:) read more

I've been to tartine only 3 times and I feel like I would be a regular if I lived in the area. There is something about the simplicity of this place that makes it so good. Service is always friendly and the soups are always so good. They had three kinds of bread pudding today and I chose butter pecan and damn it was perfectly divine. It even came with some fresh whipped cream! Soup of the day was sausage and potatoes which was a lighter less salty version of zuppa toscana. I will definitely be back! read more
