Little Lion Cafe

Great service and the food was excellent We got the glow bowl and the quinoa bowl and the alkaline lemonade. All wonderful!The green onion biscuit with shishito butter was delicious and so was the duck sausage. Super short walk to Sunset Cliffs if you have to wait for a table (which is likely)Love that it is owned by 3 sisters!

The food is absolutely amazing! I ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon! The bacon was strip, crispy and delicious! The bread was fresh baked and soaking up the tasty tomato and fresh avocado! All this goodness was topped with perfectly poached eggs! The wait staff was phenomenal and ready with recommendations! The lavender mimosa is a must have! You can taste the flavors bubbling up with every sparkling pop! I love this spot!

A very cute neighborhood spot right next to the sunset beach trails, but be prepared to wait & for higher prices.We picked this spot as a place to grab breakfast right before walking along the sunset cliff trails. We came on a weekday morning and were lucky enough to get street parking but I can imagine it would be harder on a weekend.The restaurant is very cute, has outdoor seating, and feels like a cozy neighborhood spot. I would recommend coming here when you're not in a rush as service can take a while (which is understandable as they only seemed to have a small staff). Everything seems to be made fresh but they don't do any substitutions so be aware of that if you have dietary restrictions. The prices were also quite high for a breakfast spot (perhaps since it is a small business with fresh ingredients). Nonetheless i found the food quite good. The fruits were fresh and beautifully arranged. The crossiant had a nice toasted outer layer and you can tell everything is made with thought.From the cafe it was a quick walk to the trail so recommend checking that out after! If you don't mind paying a bit more and waiting a bit longer, it was a lovely spot to visit!

Food was fresh and tasty! Service was friendly and efficient. The cafe is charming and has a European feel. Espresso service is excellent! A favorite eatery.

Breakfast spot in Ocean Beach. Sat outside since it was a nice day. Had the vegetable omelette with avocado. It was very good with a side of crispy hash brown. This is a small place and we went early. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. We were in and out of there in no time.

Now THIS is a gem in OB worth trekking for. Came on a Friday around 11. I must've beat the morning rush as I got a table outside pretty quickly for our party. Wait staff was nice and got our orders in.Their mocha was amaaaaaazing. Honestly there was A TON that looked amazing, but my stomach pouch can only hold so much. It was a Friday during lent (IYKYK) so I went for the lox croissant sandwich. JC would've been proud this sandwich was made available to all to enjoy. Everything was just perfect. I can see this place POPPIN OFF on the weekends. Give yourself time for parking and for a wait if you're coming during prime hours. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of their menu!

We finally made it here to try their breakfast without having to wait for a table. The way we achieved that was coming here on a weekday when they opened. This was all influenced by YouTuber Garth's review of this tiny cafe. In the end, the food was tasty but I don't understand the hype. It's crowded on weekends because it's a small place. 3.5 stars

Hubby brought me here for brunch the first time.Good service from the girls there! Ambiance is very chill and cozy. Good Benedicts there! They were all out of potatoes and said their Belgian waffle maker was not working (we went there to try them). Overall, good experience with what we ordered.

This is my favorite place on earth; the food, ambience, and location is absolutely everything. It does fill up quickly so I'd suggest making a reservation ahead of time. The Farmer's fruit market bowl is so fresh and has a good balance of sweet and tart. The eggs Benedict were so creamy and savory, they were so nice to split it into two plates for us. The side of potato's were fried so crispy on the outside but soft and flakey on the inside. The presentation of the dishes also showed the attention to detail and it was so pleasing to the eye. The store itself is quite small inside but I love the vintage decor and intimate vibe. They also have some tables around the restaurant and it's perfect to feel the beach breeze. The service is always friendly and fast, it's enjoyable experience overall. I go here every time I'm in San Diego, 10/10 would recommend!

Stayed in an Airbnb close to here so we came here almost every morning.The vanilla coffee was SO good. Cold foam on top. I was sad to see they were closed the day we hit the road.Also had some good eggs Benny! Definitely worth your money.
