Best hash browns in town. Love the fresh spinach in the eggs Florentine. Service is always great, and they have Cafe Moto coffee. One of the best spots for breakfast in San Diego.

Harry's Coffee ShopApril 10, 2014Our Dad, Harry was an amazing athlete & coach. He was an avid golfer & shared his skill & enthusiasm with many.These "eat at harry's" golf balls that he handed out regularly showed his sense of humor!

Barry BloomMay 5, 2015Always one of my standbys. The definitive '60s coffee shop with a great breakfast, terrific burgers and the expected ambience.
Hobie TrivitteJune 30, 2018The Mexi Burger is char grilled, and amazing. I eat them instead of the omelettes for breakfast.
Go for the French toast 🇫🇷, bacon waffle /pancakes 🐷, even the silver dollar pancakes! Especially like the Superficial, best for the $
Try the super veggie omelet with egg whites. Prepare to be very happy! If there's a wait, try to sit at the counter. Much faster and fun to watch them cooking and serving.
Dave CommerMay 28, 2015I used to come every 2nd Saturday with my parents my dad was friends with Mr. Harry's Sr love the pancakes here my fiancé loves the French Toast
Luis OrellanaAugust 12, 2013This place is great. Reminds me of an old school breakfast around the corner from my family's house back in Brooklyn. Food is amazing service is amazing.
Roberto Bruder AguiarNovember 22, 2018Good choices! The eggs Benedict’s on top of a waffle was unique!
Classic. Have breakfast, it is worth the wait. Everything is good.
Mags TLSeptember 2, 2013Cute little 60's coffee shop. Busy in the morning but we only had to wait ten minutes to be seated! Delicious breakfast food :)
Everything, especially the coffee, waffles, omelettes, Benedict, bacon, and pancakes.
Sean MillerSeptember 20, 2015Great local coffee shop with awesome food! Everything I have tried over the years is delicious!
Missie De Leeuw-BonoMay 26, 2016Old school coffee shop charm. Great food, service. Leave some extra time to find parking.
- Raja'a S AlsJanuary 19, 2016I tried the waffle amazing and crunchy and the egg benedict with hash brown the best
Nick DutchMay 30, 2013Nice old school diner - go for the booth or counter to keep it real. Had the monster sized breakfast, can't remember name but it rocked.- Corey WittmanApril 27, 2013Try the oatmeal pancakes with pecans and blueberries if you want something unique. Also, try the chocolate milkshake with double espresso.
- Everything here is good. For the courageous, order any WAFFLE/bacon anything. Servers are helpful.
Marianne Barnes-LiljeSeptember 6, 2011ask for the secret salsa (Rosa's) Lne usually long, but worth it-- old school coffee shop
Meredith LynchJanuary 16, 2012The special salsa is delicious! Highly recommend putting it on anything.
Check out the Brooklyn Dodgers memorabilia on the walls; original owner was a batboy for the team.
Traditional Americana diner right here in La Jolla. Legendary among locals!
- Fried egg, cheese, bacon sandwich is pretty good, even though the bagel is subpar.
- I agree that the cinnamon ROLL (not role) is very tasty.
William HarrisOctober 14, 2010All I can say is the bacon waffle ia legendary--grew up coming here! love it.
