“ This place is a gem! You know how many places go from excellent to average with time?! This place sticks to the best standards! They become even better! Now they make Salmon Bagel with wild caught Atlantic Salmon! Hands-down the best LAX bagel in San Diego! ”
“ I first visited this cafe years ago and recently started coming back during my morning commute. Each visit is met with a warm welcome and consistently excellent coffee. Having explored numerous cafes across various states and countries, I can confidently say that Grant crafts the best Mexican Mocha in San Diego—possibly even in California. As a former barista and coffee roaster, I appreciate the exceptional quality and taste he brings to each cup. Highly recommend this hidden gem in Bonita! ”
“ Phenomenal service . Bagel salmon was so delicious. Prices were very good compared to other places . I would definitely come back . For a drink I had a Mexican PB Delight coffee iced . 10/10 ”
“ The food is great, the chai is delicious, the owner is very kind. If you stop by here, take a moment to look at some of the Navy memorabilia that is around, and read the award citation given to CDR Carroll, he is a hero. ”
“ Wow, talk about a hidden gem. I’m a Chula Vista native and barely discovered Donny’s Cafe today (thanks to my dentist for the suggestion). The Mexican mocha was delicious (perfect temperature and the right amount of sweetness) and the turkey sandwich was made with love: fresh toasted sourdough, havarti cheese, avocado, sprouts, tomato, cucumber, and spinach. Both my mocha and sandwich were decent in size and reasonably priced. When a business excels in quality AND quantity, your result is very happy customers. Thank you for the great service and food. I’ll be back! ”
“ Love this place! Bagel salmon was the best I've had and sets a whole new standard for my lox breakfast ideas. Got the Mexican PB delight coffee which was amazing as well. Staff were hardworking and very kind. They were busy and it would be nice if there were more tables but there's a good reason for the popularity and the wait wasn't bad at all. I had a cookie while I waited and barely finished the cookie before the bagel was done. Definitely stop here if you're debating it at all! ”
“ Great food, the fluffiest eggs, and great staff. Not sure how I only recently discovered it... it's been there since '95? Really? Only thing I don't like is they don't take phone orders, so you gotta order and wait there. Otherwise, hard to beat. ”
“ Great place to pick up breakfast. Quick in & Out service. If you go often they remember your name and what you usually get. "Polite and intelligent" ”
