The food flavors and portions were amazing and Mikey took excellent care of our gluten free friends. So yummy!

The food was incredible and service from Stella top notch. everything was perfect! Don't miss out on this gem

Great food and even better service. Mikey was a great waitress made my birthday breakfast so special!!!!

Such a good find for breakfast! The food was delicious and had unique tastes that you don't get from just any breakfast place. Our server was so sweet and recommended the cinnamon french toast and mission rosemary, which we ended up ordering, and it did not disappoint! The french toast wasn't too sweet, it was the perfect amount, and so delicious too. The rosemary bread was the highlight for me, with the whole dish being a perfect breakfast! They also have a coffee stand inside with a variety of different drinks & some pastries too. Came on a Sunday during brunch time and got very lucky with parking and no wait! There seems to be a good amount of seating for both small and large parties. There's also art on the wall for sale which is a cute little touch! Will be coming back to try more on the menu! read more

Wait staff is very kind and straight to the point. Went on Mother's day and was only a 10 minute wait. it is a smaller, more cozy spot that seemed to have lots of locals, nice ambiance. Our waiter said they are known for their french toast and their rosemary potatoes. We ordered a variety of dishes (cinnamon french toast, mission breakfast, chilaquiles, abc and chorizo omelet, and steak & eggs) , and while the cinnamon french toast was indeed delicious, everything else was lacking any flavor. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy or finish our meal and did not feel like we needed to take it to go. The reviews are very different from our experience so maybe we just came on an off day. Maybe mother's day weekend affected the quality we received. Hope to try it again if we are in town soon! read more

Busy, friendly, the Mission is a breakfast spot where the staff is dialed in and the energy is good. Which is why this one hurts. I'm loyal to moist, fluffy well seasoned scrambled eggs with a silky finish. What landed on my plate here? Dry, loaf-like eggs. My friend's omelet didn't fare better. The eggs were dry, overcooked. The twist: everything else was excellent. The rosemary potatoes were both moist and crisp, the thick-cut rosemary toast (very Texas toast like) was good, and the cinnamon toast was decadent. The housemade chicken breakfast sausage was delicious. Coffee and expresso drinks were not as strong as I like, but still solid. I wanted to love The Mission. On paper, this beach breakfast stop has the look and feel that I love; extra generous plates of food arrive in the arms of extra friendly local servers, and good music plays in the background. The food comes out quickly, which I appreciate. It's just that when a breakfast spot fumbles the eggs, it's hard to overlook. Fix this detail, and The Mission would be hard to beat. read more

Food and service was amazing. Had breakfast burrito and Johnny suggested the French Toast and it was BOMB! Great service from Johnny

The service was good and we didn't have to wait long for a table but we all though the food was just so so. The drinks were also lacking. read more

Great service but the food was only mediocre. We heard it had the best breakfast in town so we had to try the out. Hostess was polite and handled customers well. Our server took our order quickly- Lemon pancakes and side of eggs for me and French toast and sausage for my partner. We also ordered iced Mexican mochas with oat milk. The pancakes were thick , the lemon was tangy but the combo wasn't great. My eggs arrived cold and had to be remade. The French toast was average. Our Mexican Mochas were made with Hershey's syrup ( not Mexican chocolate) and we think they made them with regular milk instead of oat since we both had digestive issues later. Would not recommend read more

I was very excited to eat at The Mission since the line is always long and due to its location in the heart of Mission Beach, but I left extremely disappointed with a headache and starving.. Let me start by saying, I am very grateful for The Mission offering vegan options. However, the chilaquiles were so soggy I could not even eat them. I asked my boyfriend to try them just to see if maybe I was being too critical, but he agreed and actually described them as tortilla mush. I added a side of tofu, hoping it would add to the chilaquiles in place of the egg, but even that was disappointing. The tofu was teriyaki flavored with smothered with grilled mushrooms and onions. Very good with the right dish, but a terrible combination with soggy tortilla chips on a bed of black beans. I took the tofu home but left nearly the entire plate of chilaquiles untouched. Additionally, the restaurant itself was so loud that my ears hurt. I did notice The Mission also offers a vegan bowl and tamale plate. So perhaps those would be a better option for my fellow vegans! read more

Stella knocked it out of the park. Amazing friendly service and very helpful with recommendations on the menu

Nice neighborhood vibe. Good service. I got the avocado toast with over medium eggs. The toast had some orange and beet slices on it as well as some nuts and goat cheese. Simply delicious! read more

Had a good experience coming to this establishment for breakfast. The location of the spot is on the corner of the street so you can't miss it at all. You have to find either parking on the street or paid parking lot. It wasn't so busy, just had to wait for a table to be cleared and clean. Our server, Omid was amazing because he had cleared the table for us and got out ordered in fairly quickly while he kept seating other parties and attending the other tables that he was already serving. Got the mission rosemary - 8/10, pancakes with chocolate chips - 8/10 and French toast - 10/10 read more

This place never lets me down! I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived around noon on Sunday and only had to wait five minutes before getting seated. I will say parking is definitely a challenge in this area so we decided to Uber from Pacific Beach. I tried the mushroom frittata, which was recommended by our server, it was good and not as heavy as some of the other options. My boyfriend tried the loco moco which he really liked and we shared the French toast which was also really good. Service was fast and friendly and restrooms were clean. read more

We had such a delicious breakfast at Mission Cafe in Mission Bay! I got the ABC omelette -- that's avocado, bacon, and cheese. Packed with bacon! The rosemary potatoes were crispy and tasted healthy and delicious. I also loved the bread they use. It's nice and thick, and the same kind they use for their French toast. Speaking of their French toast... wow! So flavorful, covered in cinnamon with an amazing blueberry compote, and the syrup had such a good flavor too. My fav dish out of the two! Martin ordered the chorizo omelette and devoured the whole thing! There was nothing left on his plate lol! Evan took great care of us! Super friendly and attentive! Service was impeccable. We had everything we needed and left so happy with full bellies. It was very busy, as expected from an awesome restaurant. Music was fun and I loved the beautiful artwork on display and on sale. Definitely coming back the next time we're in Mission Bay! read more

This was a breakfast and brunch spot that had an Asian Latin fusion fare going sort of. They had a number of traditional breakfast choices with a few twists along with sandwiches and other "brunchy items." It did take some time for our order to be taken, but besides that, the service was fine. I had the steak and eggs ($22). It was certified angus beef with horseradish cream, tomatoes, scallions, rosemary potatoes, grilled rosemary bread, and scrambled eggs. The steak was all chopped up, so it was a little overcooked (waiter did not ask what temperature it to be cooked at), but it worked out well combined with everything else. The eggs were not seasoned but combined with everything else, especially the horseradish cream made up for it. The rosemary potatoes and bread were good too. It really needed to be all eaten together to work. It was very filling. I also tried the turkey club, which was huge. There were thick turkey slices with just enough mayo. The rosemary bread was even better here as a sandwich. Will I go back? Yes. read more

We got the loco moco and chilaquiles with a couple coffees. Had requested the eggs on the loco moco to be over hard, but they came out super runny. & there was barely a thin layer of rice on the bottom of the plate. For something that comes with gravy, my expectation is a generous serving of rice to soak up the saucy goodness, but was disappointed. Eggs on the chilaquiles were scrambled but it came out in a chunky ball that was dry. Coffees were okay. Overall not worth the wait in that long line.. read more

My friend and I left this place with the worst food poisoning, we both felt sick the moment we finished our food. Also, horrible service. My drink was served in a dirty glass with things floating inside, and we had to ask multiple times to get our drinks. One of them was completely forgotten and we just gave up on it. Genuinely would never return here again. read more

Good service good coffee! Food came out really fast even before the coffee! Bacon is really good. Biscuits and gravy could have had more flavor. read more

This place is so delicious we ate here twice, back to back! Day 1 we ordered take out and got their breakfast quesadillas--- AMAZING! Day 1 we got the mission ABC omelet, strawberry cinnamon roll, and my daughter got a side of scrambled eggs and "grown bread". We got a side of ham for the rosemary bread and brown bread and it was all amazing-seriously. The rosemary potato's were crunchy and full of flavor! Their house salsa is wear it's at. Not really spicy but so fresh and yum! The staff was great, our waiter Johnny was super attentive and great with accommodating our family of 4 (baby and toddler). You can tell this place is a fav as we were leaving it was filling up fast! We went on a Wednesday around 8am and there was no wait! And food came out fast, which is awesome when you have kids. Food is large enough portions to share for sure. read more

Brunch so good, I betrayed my fiancé. We stayed near Mission Bay and wandered into The Mission, not knowing we were about to enter brunch boot camp--lines out the door, the scent of sizzling bacon in the air, and hungry souls peering through the window like puppies outside a butcher shop. I caught myself staring so hard I fogged up the glass. No shame. Turns out, this place is a San Diego staple, and when our local friends insisted we go back again, I understood why: this joint slaps. It's not fancy, but it's hella good. Inside, the place hums like a well-oiled espresso machine. The servers? Ninjas. Calm, fast, ripped--probably run marathons between tables. I blinked, and my mimosa appeared like brunch magic. The drink parade: * Tea (serene) * Coffee (bold) * Mimosas (yes, plural) * Orange juice (tastes like it had a sunbeam for breakfast) * Cappuccino (so good I considered proposing to it) Now for the food. I ordered the sweet corn and chili tamales with black beans, a fried egg soaked in salsa verde, bacon, and a side of home-fried papas. It was the kind of plate that makes you rethink your life choices--like, why don't I eat this every day? I devoured it like I hadn't eaten since 2004. My fiancé ordered the mixed mushroom frittata with chicken apple sausage and rosemary potatoes. It was earthy, hearty, and sophisticated. So sophisticated, in fact, that she only ate half. Big mistake. Huge. I finished mine... then I finished hers. No hesitation. No remorse. Just full-on brunch domination. If love means never stealing food, then I guess we're on the rocks. Pro tip: Yes, the wait is real. But trust me--it's a small price to pay for entering the brunch promised land. Come hungry. Come early. And maybe warn your date to guard their plate. read more

This place gets busy on the weekend for breakfast and brunch. The food is good and service is quick. The pancakes are very big and you can easily share between two people. It's kid friendly which I love! Our waitress was so nice to my daughter who asked ALL types of questions. She happily indulged her in conversation and let my daughter press buttons to order her own meal. The bathroom was clean which is a plus because I'm always scared to take my kids in a public bathroom. I ordered my husband a quesadilla to go. The packaging was nice and it was still hot after a 23 minute drive. This could be a regular spot for me:) read more

A high volume, no frills latin american fusion diner. Its got solid breakfast food that can be comforting but nothing that memorable. The booth we were placed was haphazardly taped together and crumbling apart lol Chilaquiles: Get For sure packs a punch in terms of spice and flavor.

Did not wait long to be seated which was nice. But, food was not hot and no flavor. We ordered the buttermilk pancakes, steak and eggs and breakfast quesadilla. Definitely would not come back not recommend to any family. read more

One word......STELLLLAAAAAA! She is AMAZING and I have never had the kind of service she has provided. She was so friendly and engaging with our family. She made suggestions that were useful and considerate. She definitely set the bar for servers everywhere. They don't seat until everyone in your party is there but they did hold our table so we had no wait, which was nice. Our food was really good. I had a veggie sandwich and added bacon to it. If I would have ordered eggs and put them on there, it would have been the perfect breakfast sandwich. I don't normally finish my food but this place was THAT GOOD. The place is small and super busy! As a business by the beach, parking sucks. Not much the business can do about that but wanted to throw it out there. There are a few pay to park lots ($16 for 2 hours). If we lived in the area, we'd go back just for Stella's service, the food would be an added bonus. read more

We stopped by the Mission Cafe for breakfast this morning. When we arrived, a server told us he'd be right with us, but then he ended up helping a group that was seated after us. After waiting several more minutes, I asked a waitress if someone else could take our order and she was fantastic! Super helpful and friendly. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, and my husband had the sweet tamale and banana bread and everything was absolutely delicious. Despite the rocky start, we really enjoyed our meal read more

We have been to this restaurant before but the one located over by the Petco Park. We were on Bird Rock so this was close to us. We got here like at 10 am. We had a hard time finding parking. We finally found one after going around a while. We arrived and were seated right away. I ordered a vanilla latte and my husband stayed with water. He ordered the mushroom frittata and I ordered the huevos divorciados. The waiter was very attentive and we did not have to wait to long to get our food . My husband enjoyed his frittata, the apple sausage was very good , it also comes with a side of potatoes which he kindly shared with me. My plate was also very tasty. It's two corn tortillas with an egg on top of each tortilla and topped one side with green salsa the other side with red salsa. It also came with a side of black beans. Both salsas were very tasty. This place is very popular and busy . I am glad we were able to come to this location and have some great food for breakfast. read more
