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.

I eat meat, so it wasn't too much of a problem for me, and I'm curious what the other items on their menu taste like, so I might go back anyway. The other sandwiches were pretty good, but the breakfast burrito...

Cliff Hanger Cafe is a casual spot that offers decent food, perfectly suited for its scenic location. The pesto chicken sandwich was huge, while the chicken Caesar wrap was okay, though not the best I’ve ever had. Very heavy on the lettuce, but not enough chicken or substance. I didn’t taste any croutons. However, the tortilla was fresh and toasted.

The service left something to be desired—slow and a bit disorganized, with orders being called out in no particular rhythm. It felt more like a food truck experience, albeit one built into a building, serving up standard lunch fare.

I came in with low expectations, and they were met. While the food isn’t anything special, it’s good enough for a quick bite in a beautiful setting. If you’re looking for a casual meal without high expectations, Cliff Hanger Cafe...

Came here yesterday on valentines day. We had just got done doing a hike in Torrey Pines state beach. We googled some lunch spots and found this one. We are sandwich people so we thought to try it... and it did not disappoint. We loved the amazing view of the ocean and the gliders. It was like lunch and entertainment in one. 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...
