Tawseef Siddiquie★★★★★If you’re in downtown San Diego and looking for a cozy breakfast or brunch spot, Cafe 222 is definitely worth a visit. From the moment you walk in, the place has a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. It’s not overly fancy, but that’s part of its charm—it feels like a classic local café where the focus is really on good food and friendly service. The menu has a great variety of breakfast and brunch options, and everything tastes fresh and well-prepared. Their pancakes are especially popular, and it’s easy to see why—they’re fluffy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The omel
William Karstens★★★★★We went here once… like over a decade ago, probably longer. But there is almost always a line of people waiting, and there are a ton of places near by. What does that tell you?

Scott Laird★★★★★Great breakfast spot. After several days in San Diego with good breakfasts it was nice to find a place that served more of a traditional American breakfast. They did have many choices so it was not a boring breakfast place. Staff was very friendly and helpful answering any questions. Food came out quick and hot. One of the better chicken fried steaks I've had in a while. Wait was not too long. Would definitely recommend trying this place if you want a real breakfast. Not just avocado toast.
Sara Adams★★★★★Nice little breakfast place. Everyone I was with enjoyed their food. They got the blueberry cornbread waffle, eggs Benedict, and strawberry Nutella waffle. I stuck to the egg and potatoes and was pleased. The potatoes were cooked so well. I would definitely return to this place if I’m ever back in town.
