👍👍 We are from the San Francisco area, but we come to San Diego every year. Jane’s Cafe is a hidden gem with great food and wonderful people.

👍👍 My brother and I visited this cafe on a Saturday. We had the acai bowl. I had the nut flavored bowl which was actually very rich. It had peanut butter, granola, and honey. I couldn't finish it all, it was too rich. My brother had one with banana and berries, granola. It was very good as well.

Thyme for Lunch Cafe & Grill
Cafe
👍👍 Located a couple blocks from Miramar Rd, on a quiet side street filled with small businesses, Thyme for Lunch offers hearty, flavorful meals with generous portions and fast, friendly service, with indoor and outdoor seating. Only feedback would be to have the kitchen take it easy on the salt.

👍👍 Really great little neighborhood smoothie spot for a quick breakfast or pick me up. The girl who helped us was so incredibly friendly and gave us a bunch of suggestions.

👍👍 We’ve been coming here since they opened right after Covid. One of the city’s hidden gems with great lunch specials and a decent happy hour. $20 steak night on Tuesday for a NY strip is unbeatable.
