Dos Palmas Cafe - Coffee, Breakfast & Lunch Sandwiches — Restaurant in San Diego

I don't know when the last time is that I had a breakfast sandwich but this was a really really lovely one! Just happened to come here for for breakfast because another place we wanted had too long a wait. Service took really long here but maybe they were just busy on a Saturday morning. Our friend who usually came here said they are really good with the service so we were surprised when all breakfast sandwiches took almost 30 minutes to come out.

Sandwiches were really delicious though! Perfectly crispy crusty bread. That was the right amount of grilled and will get a large amount of the fillings! Usually one would expect a thin sandwich with largely bread, but this had the perfect balance with a large amount of filling - something I actually love!

Beware that you up might end up with a little bit of a cut feeling in the mouth because that bread does get pretty crispy, haha.

Also - lovely seating area outside.

Breakfast Panini (Scrambled egg, turkey, pepperjack cheese, avocado, organic greens, tomatoes, red onion) Really lovely condomination. Didn't feel greasy at all. Just the perfect amount of cheese and egg and turkey and everything in there. Avocado was a really nice touch!

Veggie Panini + Turkey (grilled zucchini, roasted red peppers, provolone, avocado, greens, tomatoes, red onion, chipotle aioli) + Turkey Really love how loaded this one was. I was expecting there to be greens inside so I asked for extra greens and they really piled it up! The turkey really went well with the vegetables and the Chipotle sauce and there was really nice as well to bring it all together It felt a little big at times where things were just falling apart but it was a beautiful mess!

Mexican mocha was unbelievably phenomenally good! Rich and chocolaty with the perfect amount of spice in it. Husband also got the whole charter I slate and that had all the proper cinnamon goodness that...

Let's start with the fact that I've patronized this business twice. Their coffee is delicious and they've made the tiny space they have work for them. The atmosphere is nice enough. In the one time I've been able to enjoy their food it has been good. But even if everything tasted great I am going to exercise my right not to patronize this establishment again.

Let me also say that I've put in my own time in both food service and coffee and in general customer service. This is where I'm coming from. and No, the customer is NOT always right. And WE ALL have our turn on the customer side of the counter. I say that to make clear that there is definitely a way to make the average customer feel like a welcome, whole human being whose business and patronage is significant and meaningful to you no matter what you're paying. And there is a way to make them feel like a charity case bum. That is what they made me feel like after a very confusing and mishandled food and drink order.

Even if my math was wrong to begin with (I was off by about $10) I was definitely listening closely both to what I was saying and what was being said to me. I cannot say the same for the persons receiving the order. I am not trying to assign blame without admitting that every one makes mistakes. Everyone on both sides of the counter or on either side of the phone might convince someone that they are willing to try to make things right.

Today I walked away from Dos Palmas an unhappy customer, hungry, awkward, unworthy, without value as a paying customer. I did not walk away with anything I didn't pay for. I do not ask for pity or the best experience in food service but I did expect something more than to be viewed and spoken to as though I was the embodiement of the mistake.

have a great business anniversary, dos palmas, I hope everyone is able...

Easily my favorite coffee spot 🤍 where do I start?

Coffee, I got the Mexican Mocha 😙👌🏽 best Mexican Mocha I've ever had in SD. My favorite part about it was that they made this! Maybe I should start there, nothing here is premade, everything is FRESH!

Food was delicious, fresh ingredients, and pair perfectly with their freshly made coffee. I got an avocado toast with egg (trying to be healthier atm otherwise I would've gotten something else). Tbh, delicious is an understatement.

Service and atmosphere!!! The service is so neighborly 🥹🤍 it kinda makes me wish I lived in this neighborhood. The baristas are so friendly and funny. They know their regulars very well. It was my first time here and they talked to me like they knew me my whole life. Their playlist is always going, with a variety to fit anyone's musical taste, and it's just such a beautiful vibe 🤍

I can't wait to try this spot out in the spring time so I can enjoy the patio, it was a little too chilly to be out there this morning. But I highly recommend it. You'll...
