Cafe 21 Gaslamp

Long line to get a table. We waited 25 minutes to be seated. We were sat on the patio even though it was raining. The canopy had a hole in it which lead to water dripping on our table. When we informed the hostess and asked to be moved, she said "no". She said, "there are no available tables." We then informed our server who made sure we were moved. The portions of food were very small. They are more of an appetizer for one person. If you are unaccustomed to small portions, this is not the place for you. I ordered the banana fosters pancake and my mom ordered the burrito. Both had excellent flavor. The best part of our meal was the coffee. It was absolutely delicious.

Great place! They are farm to table and small plates- so ideal for groups if you like to share and try a bunch of different things on the menu. We sat outside- space isn’t huge but we had a group of 6 and it was perfect. We had 2 rounds of mimosas and maybe 10 dishes and bill was around $150. Staff was great and service was not slow at all. Highly recommend!

This is my first time to San Diego and I googled best breakfast in San Diego and this was one that popped up, so I came in. The service is fantastic and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Kim was my server and he couldn't have been better. His recommendations for drinks and food were spot on. I asked about things to do in the area and he provided me with some great options. The atmosphere is perfect as well!!

The food is amazing!!! The tacos were my fave so far! I'm celiac and found so many yummy gluten free options! Kim was the best server!!! We are in town for the weekend and he went above and beyond, recommending some places to go and things to do in town! Will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Excellent food!! Sometimes slow service, but the food makes it worth it. Highly suggest their happy hour, great deals on food and beverages. They are known for their sangria flights and live music. Expect a wait during peak hours. Parking is limited.
