I love this place! Super friendly staff and great food for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Their blended drinks are so good. Best brunch place in town IMHO.

Wow! This place is a gem! FANTASTIC breakfast burritos! Got the OG bacon burrito with sour cream. Definitely need 2 ramekins of salsa for this bad boy!!Had to go back and get another one for my kids to share. My 3 and 5 year olds tried a bite of mine and then they decided to share one. So, one that note - I will say that the chilis on the burrito are mild enough that my kids would eat them - so FEAR NOT. LOL.Great burritos. Great coffee. FANTASTIC customer service. Thank you Andrea!!!

Awesome place for breakfast. From the Omelette to the Cliffs Sandwich, we loved everything we order, including the bacon and egg avocado toast! It was so good forgot to take pictures of the food. We also had 4 of their special drinks and they all hit the early Sunday morning spot! Enjoy!!!

One of my favorite parts of coming to San Diego on a day trip is eating here. Ever since the first time I had Cliffs, I was left feeling impressed with the quality of their food and how delicious it was.Whenever I come, they are always quite busy which is no surprise but service manages to be quick nevertheless. On top of this, the workers are always smiling and upbeat despite the atmosphere, and very quick to give you anything you may need like a glass of water or some packets of hot sauce.This time I had the Green Eggs and Ham. I had not tried it before but something about it just called to me and it did not disappoint. On an everything bagel, it was one of the yummiest things I’ve had for breakfast all week.Though I’m tempted to try other breakfast spots when I’m in town, I always circle back to Cliffs because I know it never fails.

Was our first time and breakfast, coffee and acai bowl was good. Will definitely go back. Is a small place so suggest to get there before noon.

Such a sweet spot! I don’t get to go often because I don’t live close but whenever I’m in the area I love to pop in. Great food with a very diverse menu, delicious coffee, cozy atmosphere and Andrea at the front is so warm and welcoming. Very diverse menu too! Love it there :)
