Cafe 21 Gaslamp

Fun place for breakfast! Interesting drinks and entrees. Staff are kind and attentive. The ambience is very lively. The food isn’t out of this world but dishes are very extra on presentation (for those that like to post on social media). What I recommend: Their coffee beverages, mimosa testers, salmon cake, crepés

This place is a must! Went here for all 3 of my breakfasts while visiting. The food is exceptional. They have some very unique but well thought out dishes. The flavors were exceptional. Their food is made from scratch and you can tell everytime. They suggested ordering two dishes because they are smaller but quite frankly they were perfect portions. If you are used to large American style breakfasts then maybe order two but one always satisfied me. The service is great and the atmosphere is very charming.

This was a great experience! This place stands out with their vibes and food. They have small plates so we ordered the Mediterranean rice, tiramisu pancakes, and the chicken pesto sandwich. The tiramisu pancakes were out of the world divine! And the chicken pesto sandwich is the best done sandwich I’ve ever had! The Mediterranean rice were just ok! The decor was just outstanding. They had a lot of cool knick knacks from around the world and a great selection of dried flowers to shop! This is a must do when visiting San Diego!!!

We ordered vegetarian power bowl and feta omelette. The portions were small but very delicious! If you care more about quality than quantity, that’s definitely the place for you. Interior design and background music is great. Personnel was professional but not friendly. I was expecting more smiles and chit-chat from Azeri owned business, but waiters and bartender are not from Azerbaijan, so that explains it

Absolutely delicious with a friendly atmosphere!! The dishes are a little small, but still very filling. We got 2 dishes each and I had to take most of 1 to go since I was so full. Everything is excellently cooked and the flavors are really great. The food here is farm to table and you can really taste it. The Mediterranean fried rice is a unique must-try!

Best food I had when I was in town. We went for 4 days and ate here for breakfast 2 of those times! I got the tiramisu Pancakes both times and they are to die for!! My fiancé got the Dutch pancake and it was also very good. The French toast is the one with fruit in the picture and I wasn't a big fan of the toast but that's just because I've never tried them this way but he loved them! If you eat breakfast at one place in SD, check this place out for sure. Workers are also super sweet!

Voted Best Brunch restaurant in San Diego and I see why. I ordered the Vegan French Toast with a side of Lamb Meat Balls and fresh squeezed orange juice. The Vegan French toast was very yummy the presentation is not the norm and I like that. The texture of the toast was a-little tough but I still enjoyed every bit. The star of the show was the Lamb meatballs absolutely amaZing! I decided to sit outside to people watch and to take in the weather but inside seating is really cool with the unique decor. I forgot to mention this restaurant has a small boutique attached with little treasures you can’t help to buy. This place is a Must Try!😊

I've been looking forward to coming to this place for a while because I liked that they have small plates for you to dive into different flavors without being overly full. When we were greeted by our waitress, she recommended that we have 2 small plates per a person. All of us were satisfied without feeling gluttonous or too stuffed, so 2 plates are perfect! All our dishes are pictured. One of the best things I had outside of the food was the Ginny tea. Absolutely delicious and came out smoking (due to dry ice). Very fun and delicious. I didn't realize how large it would be, it's enough for 2-3 people. Also, there are options for Vegan, Vegetarian folks. The aesthetic of the restaurant was stunning! They have a wall full of wines I wish I could have gotten a closer look at! Everyone from the host to server to those bussing was very kind.
