We arrived around 10am on a Friday and there was a long line, as expected. We waited for about 40 minutes for a table. Luckily Parakeet Cafe is across the street so we grabbed a drink while we waited. Once we were seated near the kitchen, we knew this was absolutely worth the wait! I loved the 2000s music they were playing inside, and the staff was super friendly. The menu was so unique! It definitely stood out from other brunch restaurants. I loved the colors and design. We ordered the souffle pancakes, hashbrowns, and chicken & waffles to share. The chicken was crispy on the outside and so tender and juicy on the inside. The souffle pancakes were light and fluffy. The hashbrowns were the perfect amount of crispy. It was my bestie's birthday, and our waiter brought a cute little macaroon dessert with her name printed on it. The personalization was such a nice touch and made her feel extra special! Even though we were there during peak brunch hours, by the time we got our table, the service was quick and attentive. The waiters seem like genuinely nice people which made the experience so great. The drinks we ordered were so cute. Presentation is everything and our waiter even gave us the option to choose the flower color. He knew we wanted good photos! Non-alcoholic drinks were also available which is great if you want a mocktail instead after a night out, or just can't hang like you used to (shout out to my fellow 30+ girlies lol). This is definitely one of the most instagrammable brunch spots in San Diego so come hungry with your camera ready!

Ridiculously long wait time, bad food, and dismissive/gaslighting service. We ended up spending…read morearound FOUR HOURS of our day at Morning Glory, most of which was spent waiting to be seated, waiting/looking for our server, waiting for our food, and waiting for our check. If we were told accurate wait times, we would have went somewhere else for brunch instead of wasting our precious vacation day. The location and aesthetic being located on the second floor at the corner of the building was a big reason that drew us to this location. The music is horrendously loud that our group of girls could not converse without screaming or going right up to someone's ear. I think they should promote this place as a bar instead of a breakfast/brunch spot. Long wait time: We waited for a long time in line just to check in, then we were told the wait would be 1 hour and 15 minutes. We were told they would text us when a table opened. Luckily, there was a farmer's market going on outside. We came back around the estimated wait time and not having been texted. The hostess proceeded to gaslight us about our actual wait time, then told us it would be another 45 minutes. We proceeded to wait well over that estimated wait time was well. After they told us our table was ready, they told us to "go to the middle area". So, we sat at the middle table that was open and waited for a long time. The servers stared at us confused and told us we were supposed to stand at the bar instead of sitting down, but then he proceeded to take our order and said this was our table anyways. But why should we stand awkwardly at the bar in everyone's way when our table was ready? The servers forgot to get one of our orders and instead of apologizing, pretended that we were the ones at fault. Food: - Breakfast Carbonara: overcooked noodles. tasted like mac n' cheese. the "porkbelly" are basically little cut up bacon pieces. - Souffle pancake: should have labeled it as a biscuit, not souffle - Power Bowl: yes, the salad was the best thing at this establishment. it was very flavorful with all of the tasty ingredients mixed together. hard to mess that up though. There is barely any parking nearby except for a few on the street.

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. Their drinks were also fantastic - the cantaloupe was super tasty. Shoutout Ola for being the best waiter!

The restaurant looks aesthetic and nicely decorated which makes it a great place to take pictures and enjoy your food. I ordered chilaquiles, and they were really good and flavorful. The people who work there were also very nice and friendly. The prices are okay and reasonable for the food you get. One thing I don't like is that they close really early, so it can be hard to go later in the day. Overall, I would give Cocina 35 4 out of 5 stars.

Lots of seating for our group, we ordered mostly "breakfast" items. I shared a Sage Chicken & Waffle Tower - which was excellent.

The texture and taste are all pleasurable. I had the banana pancakes, with two over well eggs, crispy bacon, with potatoes. I couldn't complete it all, I took my leftovers with me. The orange juice tastes as if it's fresh squeeze! The service was kind. The feel of this restaurant is home. I adore the restaurants that were once a house turned into a place of business. 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.

The server repeatedly asked how I was doing, but the interactions didn't come across as warm or caring. Instead, they felt rushed, matter-of-fact, and as though she was trying to wrap up my visit. She took my plate while I was still eating and offered me the check before I had asked for it. I left with the impression that the table was needed for something else, and I didn't feel welcome to relax and enjoy my meal. I hope this was just an isolated experience because it was not the level of service I've come to expect. 3 stars because I really love couple of items on the menu.

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!!! I didn't stray into their full Kiwi-based dinner menu, but I can fully vouch for their happy hour, the cozy, charming vibes, kind and attentive servers, and flavorful dishes. Would absolutely recommend and will be coming back next time I'm in town!

Anyway, I do recommend their happy hour, everything on that menu is top notch, and this is a lovely place to bring your pupp to! Ask for a treat at the front! And again, 5 stars for their service. Service has always been nothing but incredible.

The prices were also very reasonable, especially compared with many of the restaurants near the Convention Center. The combination of great food, fun atmosphere, and good value makes this place an easy recommendation. I heard they're closing a few locations, so I'm really hoping this one stays open because it's a total gem. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in San Diego!
