This place has such a nice atmosphere - a grassy hill overlooking the ocean where you can watch paragliders take off. It's also dog friendly! A group of us got together on Sunday around 11am and were able to find parking.
I do have 2 small complaints. Two of our group are vegetarians, so they both ordered the "Veggie Delight Wrap." The first order was missing multiple items (jicama, pepperoncini, etc) -The second order had a piece of turkey slice. Obviously this was an accident, however, you'd think that a popular, established cafe would know how to either separate utensils or sanitize their items properly.

It really was relaxing. I ordered the TURKEY TUSCANY but sub ROSEMARY BREAD and my fiance got the HAM TEXAN. Both were delicious. The rosemary bread is so good! The lady taking our order was super nice. The ambiance was beyond beautiful because u are on a cliff with the ocean view and air and the San Diego sun.. Note: it may seem confusing when you walk up but yes it's the blue building connected to the gliderport. Also it's a dirt...
