déjà vu latte
Cyndi L.

Very cute spot! interior and location is so cute. service could be improved. our reservation was 930 we didn't put orders in until 1009 and that was after i flagged the waitress down. Food was also okay, not bad but not the delectable brunch i was looking for. husband got the AM asada- it was fine. steak needed seasoning. i got the bacon benny- it wa better once i stopped eating the english muffin and just the egg and bacon it lacked sauce. they also brought out my sons food immediately which was great but that was the only thing that came fast so then he was ready to go when we had r even put in our order. drinks were the standout both the cucumber martini and lattes

A super adorable spot! Parking is a bit hard to find, and the music inside was extremely loud. Service was okay. I ordered the chimichurri steak sandwich and it tasted a bit like it had been cooked on a dirty griddle. However my friend's omelet and açaí bowl and pancakes were really good.

My first time here was a year ago. I gave it another try recently and it's still 3 stars for me, maybe even 2.5 stars really. Food is overpriced but the atmosphere and aesthetics are great. The bacon was overdone. The chimichurri steak sandwich had a nice flavor but the meat was very chewy. On the menu it's listed as coming on ciabatta bread but it came on sourdough instead. I love sourdough so I didn't mind but would've rather ciabatta for this particular sandwich. The passionfruit margarita and michelada were good but nothing special. The winner of our meal was surprisingly the organic greens salad which we added shrimp to. It was delicious but came with only 6 shrimp (so $1 each) but the shrimp were big and cooked well. Customer service lacked. It took a long time for Sasha to bring us water and she forgot to bring us a sharing plate that she stated she would. We had to ask for water refills in the beginning. She never once checked on us, only to ask if we wanted more alcohol. When we paid the bill, she just took the payment machine, stared down at it, and walked away in silence (not even a fake 'thanks, have a nice day') or anything. I no longer really tip based on the % of the total bill anymore because I've realized customer service is the same no matter how much the bill is. I think she was unhappy with her tip but sorry, I'm not tipping well for below average service and food.

Chilaquiles
Bella S.

Such a cute place! They've got the aesthetic down perfectly!! The cups were so cute, the plates, even the way they plated their food was beautiful. It didn't take long to seat us at all, and they were very patient even though I had a party of at least 5 people. I got the main breakfast burrito, but I replaced the bacon for steak because I normally don't really like bacon. In this case, I should've just left it the way it was since the burrito was kind of plain to me and maybe the bacon would've brought out the flavoring in a better way. The poached egg was delicious though. My friend got the chimichurri steak sandwich which looked SO good, the salmon Benedict, and the chilaquiles. All of it was good food, the burrito and the aloha latte was the only let down. Pretty plain & basic. Such a cute experience!!

Been to this location in the past before it changed to The Vibe and for this visit, my friend and I definitely came during a good day! We got seated right away and our server took care of us shortly after. My only complaint was that it gets stuffy inside when you're seated away from the door and the open windows, but maybe (and obviously) the heat contributed to that lol. That's no one fault for that either. As for our orders we got: - Birria Benedict (go do yourself a favor and get this) - Chilaquiles - Arnold Palmer - Orange juice (can't go wrong with that for a quick lil brunch meeting) Will I be back? Yes! I'm looking forward to trying their other brunch options and hopefully drinks next time. For those who care about this part: parking is mainly street (since it's in a busy location), but if you don't mind walking, there's usually spots around the residential areas. Please remember to be respectful of your surroundings if you do decide to leave your car in those areas for some time.

Ive been on a mission to find some of ther best breakfast/ brunch spot in San Diego so of course I found the vibe close by. There were a couple people in the restaurant for brunch since it was almost noon. I looked over the menu and decided on the berry French toast with a side of bacon and 2 medium eggs. The bacon was some of the best bacon I've ever had. Super crispy and just good. They make their brioche in house and man was the French toast on point. Soft not eggy and yum. The vibe was great. I sat by the long table on the wall that had the pull down gate open. There was shade from the tree but it was still nice and sunny. The breeze coming from outside made breakfast super enjoyable. Service was great my waitress was super nice and attentive. I'd definitely come back and try other items.

Pistachio coffee
Steph L.

Street parking only. People drive a little fast, be careful when parking. They have a small happy hour menu M-F from 8am-10am with $12 items. Tacos are ONLY on Tuesdays. One waitress was serving the entire restaurant so service was slow. Never had a water refill and by the time we were checked on we just asked for boxes so we could leave. I was hoping they would bring the check with the boxes or shortly after but no, we had to wait another 5-10 minutes for someone else to see us sitting there with boxes waiting for the check. Tried: Chilaquiles $12 + $5 to add Birria - this was decent Aloha coffee - good Pistachio cold brew - good Breakfast sandwich $12 - awful. This was the worst breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The smoked turkey was super dry, like crispy flakes. There was no seasoning on the eggs. It really needed an aioli of some kind. The potatoes were under cooked and slightly crunchy. I would have mentioned my dislike of the sandwich/asked for mayo/salt/pepper from the server however we were never checked on after receiving our food. It was only after my friend was almost done with theirs that I was able to flag someone to get a box to just take it home. Overall I would say stop by for coffee but not food.

Had Saturday morning brunch at The Vibe & we loved how spacious it felt inside with all the windows & doors open. It blended the inside & outside really well so much so I was wearing my shades indoors haha Service was great, our waiter was really attentive & patient given we needed some extra time to order. There's a good selection of drinks, cocktails, mocktails, and coffee. I didn't get a picture but I ordered the Hotel California cocktail and it was so good I ordered another. It was sweet but not too overwhelming that you couldn't taste the tequila. We ordered the Salmon Toast, Veggie Benedict, and A.M asada. All the food came out in a timely manner & was delicious. My only issue is that I felt like the A.M. asada was such a small portion of steak for what it was priced at but it's a trendy brunch spot in San Diego so the high prices were expected. Parking can be a little tough over the weekends in this area but overall a good spot for a brunch date.

Veggie omelette
Patricia C.

Food is delicious. Ny only complaint is the salsa is a bit flavorless and no kick to it at all. Vibe is vibing And servers are great!

Saw this place on social media and decided to give it a shot for a friend's birthday. Parking wasn't a huge issue, but we arrived pretty early on a Sunday. The inside was pretty big; during the course of our meal, it got quite busy but never full capacity. Wow it's very aesthetically pleasing inside. Tasteful furniture and plates/cutlery. It was a nice, sunny day outside, and it made the restaurant look brighter. I ordered the benni burro (basically eggs benedict in a burrito) and my friend ordered the birria benedict and the mimosa flight (can't remember the names of the juices used unfortunately). I thought the food was pretty good/average for brunch. I thought it was pretty expensive but it's the decor tax. For your birthday, you get birthday pancakes for dessert, which I thought was a nice touch! Service was fine. Overall, average food but The Vibe was definitely a vibe. Cute aesthetics. Recommend if you want a cute place to enjoy brunch.

benni burro
Emma J.

Ok, I shouldn't have fallen for the Tik Tok trap when I saw their eggs benni burro online. The burrito consisted of straight thick slices of potatoes, soggy spinach, and raw egg. I've never had a watery burrito, so this is a first! Crepe was just average.

I can confidently confirm that The Vibe was in fact a vibe. Make a reservation on OpenTable prior. You will have a seamless experience. Parking was the only challenge but if you come here early then you're good. Uber is an option as well. No docking stars for parking please... My hubby and I were here yesterday for the day after his birthday brunch!!! He loved his birria benedict. So flavorful so good! Generous portion FYI I ordered the veggie omelette with pico de gallo on the side. The mushrooms, spinach, cheese and everything was the perfect combination. The herb potatoes were cooked to perfection. I almost cried. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS! Also you get your veggies in at brunch so I'm here for it. Would I ever steer you in the wrong direction? Negative$$ Our waiter checked in on us frequently. He was so kind and helpful. He recommended the pistachio espresso martini so I got that. Loved the subtle taste of pistachio and how festive this place was. It was giving Christmas time is here fa la la la la la la la la. The total was $87 with tip. Sunday Funday~ I would highly recommend The Vibe. Good Vibes Only okkurt!

Celebrated my mom's birthday here for brunch. Such a cute little spot, it wasn't crowded when we arrived but within 20 minutes the place was packed! Our server was super sweet and attentive, the food portion was great for the cost, coffee and drinks were good. Only complaint we had was the coffee was served on the cold side. We got lattes usually they steam the milk but maybe it was just a one off.

Moving forward, I would recommend that guests use a rideshare service instead of driving.

I tend to keep it simple and order the same items every time. My go to is the crispy Brussels for $14 and the chicken sandwich for $16, and I usually rotate in the parmesan fries for $10. While they do offer other dishes that are worth trying, these favorites always keep me coming back. The service and ambiance are consistently great. It is located in Hillcrest, so the area is always lively, which adds to the overall experience. The energy, combined with the quality of the food, makes it a reliable choice whether I am dining with friends or hosting out of town guests.

When I asked the bartender if that was the full menu, since it seemed odd there wasn't even a charcuterie option, his response was, "which restaurant has two menus?" Not the best start. Shortly after, when we mentioned we wanted to order a bottle, we were then handed a much more extensive wine list...which also included another small bites menu. That alone was confusing and felt inconsistent. We ordered a rosado from Spain, which we did enjoy, but overall the experience didn't match what you'd expect from a wine bar. The bottle wasn't chilled, and we noticed others in the restaurant had the same issue. Service was also lacking. The bartender never checked back on us, despite us sitting right at the bar. Overall, not the experience we were expecting. I'd recommend saving your money and going elsewhere.

Being a sober girlie, I've heard about this place for years and was thrilled to finally try it so we had to order a few drinks. There's nothing quite like being able to look at a drink menu and know you can order anything from it because it's all sober friendly. They have a CBD infused drink part of the menu, a kava section and a mocktail drink section along with a food menu. The food looked delicious but we came here for a night cap after eating dinner nearby. We snagged 3 drinks- I need to check my notes on which ones we got but they were all so good. This is the type of place you can come here for a first date, date night worh your partner or co-work with your laptop. I saw all varieties of people who were doing their thang and it felt comfortable. The theme is inspired by Mac Miller and the decor is intentional and classic. Word on the street is that the 2 female owners had some disagreements with their investor so there's somewhat bad blood and that's always a bummer to hear people especially those in the sober community not be able to resolve their differences after they've made such an incredibly safe haven for us to enjoy. I get it though, some business partners are bad choices but y'all have made a beautiful experience here and I'm so grateful for it.

I really like the growing NA trend, and even though I drink, it's great to have an alternative, safer-feeling, and more inclusive nightlife option. I came with a couple friends on a Sunday night, about a week ago. We all drink alcohol, but we've all been drinking less lately. The place was almost empty around 8pm, which we found concerning for its prospective longevity. We also thought the prices were pretty steep -- maybe I'm biased as someone who drinks alcohol, but if I'm getting a mocktail or other NA drink, I'd like to pay less than $15+ for it. Still, I ordered the Ave Maria and thought it was one of the best mocktails I've ever had. One of my friends got the Malibu (he liked it but did complain about the price), and I don't remember what my other friend got. We sat for a while and played Connect4 using the fanciest set I'd ever seen. Some more people came in, so it didn't feel nearly as empty by the time I left. I'd probably come back, but only if I was with someone who doesn't drink and/or really wanted to try this bar. I hope they make it!
