Swami's Cafe La Mesa on Postcard

"Best place in La Mesa for breakfast. While Swami's is not unique to La Mesa, they certainly stand above the rest with an extensive jaw-dropping breakfast menu. Their homemade chorizo jalapeno scramble will make the taste buds dance and the brow sweat. It's not all proteins and sugary carbs though, they have some mind-blowing Acai bowls that will inspire high-fives from health-nuts all around. Plus, an all-you-can-drink coffee bar will send one jittering through the rest of your day." - Caava Design

Went here on a date lunch with my wife. We've been to the one in Point Loma many times, but now they are no longer there. So we were happy to find this one much closer to home. They had very fast service, polite staff, and a great atmosphere. Always great food with good portions.

I really enjoyed the food, service people are courteous and responsive to customer needs. The coffee available options are great, I liked having different american coffee varieties. Overall I'm going back definitely, Hopefully it's soon.

We had an absolutely delightful breakfast at this spot! The chilaquiles were exceptional—perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of crunch and spice. Not only was the food delicious, but it also arrived incredibly fast, which was impressive. The service was friendly and efficient, making the whole experience truly five-star. I highly recommend visiting if you’re looking for a tasty and quick breakfast option!

Had the vegan impossible taco meal, very good. A little tricky to find parking but other than that a great spot.

Always delicious, generous portions- can never go wrong with Swami’s! My favorite item is the ABC omelette. Avocado, crispy bacon, cheese. So good. They also have lots of gluten free and vegetarian options which is great. Their gluten free pancakes are amazing!

Can never go wrong the breakfast here. I prefer their North Park location. But food is equally good. I actually like that you go to the front to order your food and get a number so the food can be brought out to you. So many options for breakfast along with juices and smoothies. Parking can be tricky at this location. I parked at the US bank parking lot.

Large portions. Two of us couldn't even eat all of the spilt plate. The food was great 👍 the service was excellent and the price for is to share was under $20. They also have a great breakfast and lunch menu with a ton of options. My only suggestion is to consider reducing the menu or organizing it better as there are so many options that it is super overwhelming.

Highly recommend la Mesa Benedict and the French toast! The Benedict’s Chipotle sauce was very flavorful, but not spicy at all. Eggs were perfectly cooked. Potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. French toast bread itself was not sweet so the strawberries on top provided the perfect dulce touch. The California burrito and the red trolley omelette (the special of the day) were also good. Portion sizes were large for the price. Also really delicious was the Mexican hot chocolate. It was a great balance of slightly sweet and little bitterness. Staff were courteous and smiling. Felt like such a great environment for a delicious breakfast with friends! Would come again!
