Café Topes

The food here is awesome. Not commercial, all home cooked type delicious breakfasts. Chai latte is very likely the best one I've ever had! We had an awesome first time experience and will def be going back. Pups 🐶 allowed at the outside seating too!

Good food, but pricey.
For the area, it’s probably the norm.
I’ll splurge every now and then to try a new place. Delicious decaf latte. I upgraded the pancakes. This meal was $23 plus $5 tip.

What a great place for brunch. This is the second time we’ve tried this place and both times we waited for a little bit in a fairly fast moving line to place our order at the counter. Once we placed our order we found an open table. They have a decent amount of both indoor and outdoor seating. It wasn’t long before our food was delivered to our table piping hot. The food is outstanding. The eggs, toast, hash browns and the star on the plate, the country fried steak were all so, so good! We highly recommend this quaint little spot.

We were looking up great breakfast places in Carlsbad and this little corner restaurant came up. Topes has a walk up order counter but don’t let that discourage you from trying it! Food is really good and fresh and the coffee drinks are beautiful and tasty. It gets pretty busy on weekends and there is limited indoor seating as well as outdoor. They do being the food to the table and they have beer for those wanting a little cheer with their breakfast!

Love this place for breakfast/ brunch! Their chilaquiles are one of my favorites along with the blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes. If you are a hungry meat lover then get anything with the Cardiff crack. Amazing specialty drinks like rose white mocha are a real treat. You stand in line to order, get your number and grab a seat inside or outside Street parking available.
