I can\u2019t say enough about breakfast. It really is the best meal of every day. Nothing gets me more excited than breakfast and this caf\u00e9 has been recently added to my list of favorites. Olive Caf\u00e9 is the best of San Diego rolled into one adorable caf\u00e9 and nestled between the bay and beach just south of Pacific Beach. You probably have passed it a bunch of times without noticing it \u2014 and that is the best part. Really great cafes are found \u2013 located with some digging or spread by word of mouth. The Olive Caf\u00e9 itself greets you with a smiling face \u2014 from its lattice work to its green umbrellas. When you see it, it\u2019s clear this caf\u00e9 is worth exploring. It\u2019s larger than it looks from the outside and the two fireplaces make you feel immediately at home. The counter is stuffed with goodies to break your diet, including brownie lollipops, icing-covered croissants and yummy scones. The breakfast menu at Olive Caf\u00e9 features pancakes, scrambled eggs, burritos and French toast. I highly recommend dad\u2019s favorite pancakes, made with raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and chocolate chips, then topped with banana slices! The filling acai bowl is also a sure bet, made with granola, chopped fruit and drizzled with honey. The lunch menu includes trusted sandwich favorites like tuna melt, gardenburger, chicken pesto and grilled cheese. Olive Caf\u00e9 also offers its own creations like the bagel tower: lettuce, tomato, sprouts, red onion, cucumber and aioli spread on your choice of bagel; and the sandwich wrap: chicken breast, melted provolone, bacon, lettuce, ranch and Tapatio hot sauce. Anything that is made with Tapatio is a must in my book! The menu stars items that are popular with Olive Caf\u00e9\u2019s friends and family. Breakfast and lunch are served all day at Olive Caf\u00e9, which is great for those people like my husband, who dislikes the best meal of the day (shocking, I know). Kelsi Chappell said she enjoys early morning walks to Olive Caf\u00e9. “I love walking to Olive Caf\u00e9 with my son, Rowen, and meeting friends,” she said. “We sit outside and chat, enjoying the beautiful San Diego weather. My son loves the scones and acai bowl, and he\u2019s a picky eater!” Olive Caf\u00e9 is open every day from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., but if you\u2019re going on a weekend, get there early, because it does fill up fast. If you do accidentally sleep in later than planned, Olive Caf\u00e9 is still worth the wait. Grab a coffee and copy of Beach and Bay Press and make a morning of it. \u2022 Olive Caf\u00e9<\/b> 805 Santa Clara Place (858) 488-1224<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
