If you’re in downtown San Diego and looking for a cozy breakfast or brunch spot, Cafe 222 is definitely worth a visit.

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.

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.

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.
