I come to The Mission because of the pancakes. The blackberry banana pancakes are particularly good. The french toast is another highlight, well worth a try if you can tear yourself away from the pancakes. If you aren't feeling pancakes, The Mission has a variety of great breakfasts centered around soyrizo. The roast beef hash is delicious. They also have... More

By far this cafe/ restaurant is in my top 5 for breakfast! My husband and I will make a point to frequent this establishment each time we visit San Diego. I had the French toast with chicken apple sausage and scrambled eggs. My husband had the strawberry banana pancakes with double bacon and scrambled eggs. Both dishes are highly recommended.... More

Absolutely loved this place. We visited it twice on our week-long family vacation. First time was a Tuesday morning; we walked from our hotel and it was not terribly busy. The service was excellent. We were with our 3 year old daughter and the waitress gave us plenty of time to make our decisions. We ordered the French Toast, Strawberry-Banana... More

We ate there for breakfast 5/17/13. Place was as busy as you might expect with as high a rating as it does after over 900 reviews. I did the banana-granola pancakes and my wife had the strawberry-banana pancakes. She ordered the side of rosemary-potatoes instead of the eggs and bacon. We also had their specialty coffees (Mission mocha and Hammerhead).... More

Luckily we got there early on a Sunday as it was VERY crowded when we left. Pancakes are very good and so was the Soy Chorizo breakfast burrito. If you like a robust coffee, you will love their coffee.

They make their french toast from scratch - very tasty. Several different breakfast options. Ate here based upon good reviews & glad we did. Short wait but worth it. Convenient location if visiting the zoo.

No wonder you see lines out front every weekend. It's worth the wait! Really different breakfasts and great coffee drinks make it a treat. Sometimes I just get a latte to go just because the are fast and they always make it perfect!

The Mission has to be the best breakfast spot along the beaches. We went on a weekday and there was no wait, and coffee was delivered super fast. Don't be overwhelmed by the menu...just get the french toast. There were five of us, and we ordered four dishes. There was more than enough for everyone. Will definitely go back.
