This was our first stop for food while visiting San Diego. Everything was delicious and fresh! The garlic herb burger was unforgettable. The place is charming and unique, and everything tasted very clean. Highly recommended.

Incredible breakfast spot. I had heard about little lion cafe for years but now I understand the hype. Every ingredient shined and made everything even more delicious. My 10 year old daughter loves the breakfast platter so much and even asked for seconds of the greens!

Little Lion is hands down our favorite local spot in Point Loma. It feels like Wolf in the Woods in Mission Hills, but somehow even more quaint, cozy, and full of personality. We sat outside last Friday and had an incredible experience. Our server, whose name I wish I remembered, was genuinely wonderful and made the night feel special from start to finish.
The food was unreal. The gnocchi was impossibly pillowy and soft, and for total contrast we also ordered the fried chicken. Both were perfection. The cauliflower appetizer deserves a special shoutout. I usually hate cauliflower, but this completely changed my mind. The kale salad was fresh and beautifully balanced. See photos!

Dessert sealed the deal. The pear shortcake was insane, and was pure nostalgia. It instantly reminded me of my dad. We will absolutely be back often. I truly cannot say enough good things, especially knowing this spot is entirely female owned and operated. You can feel the love, intention, and positive energy from every single person on the team. Thank you so much. See you very soon.

Don’t let the name fool you, or the lack of other restaurants in the area. This place is charming, cute and they have a great little menu and wine list. Small inside with several tables outside. And yes, it’s steps away from incredible views and sunsets.

We wandered by this place in the evening and it immediately drew us in! The café lights, fire outside, and adorable outdoor seating set the perfect atmosphere. The food was delicious and they had a great selection of wines. The cheesecake was also amazing and our service was friendly and attentive, even at rush hour. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Delicious food! We ordered the eggs Benedict and the turkey sandwich. Every ingredient on each plate felt super fresh and paired perfectly together. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Food & Drinks:
The lattes were outstanding. My boyfriend had the matcha latte with rose-cardamom syrup, which turned out to be one of the best flavor combinations we’ve ever tried. The golden milk turmeric latte was equally delicious. For food, we tried the jalapeño duck & bacon sausage, crab cakes Benedict, ricotta toast, and shakshuka. Unfortunately, the gravy was unavailable, so we couldn’t try the sausage bowl, but that’s just another reason to return. The standout dish was definitely the jalapeño duck & bacon sausage — flavorful and a real winner. The crab cakes were also impressive; you could really taste the freshness of the crab meat. The ricotta toast was a unique breakfast item, but it was surprisingly delicious. The shakshuka, while good, wasn’t quite as memorable as the other dishes.

Service:
Excellent and attentive service. The food did take a little while to arrive, but it’s understandable given the small kitchen, and the wait was definitely worth it.

Ambiance:
A charming, cozy spot right next to Sunset Cliffs. Parking is limited unless you’re willing to pay, but the location is worth it. Dogs are welcome outside, which is a nice touch.

Incredible meal with my nephew. Bruschetta appetizer yum. Main course of Filet Mignon and Halibut were delicious. Italian cookie crumble on vanilla pudding dessert. Great wine list. Our waitress Jade was fantastic. Great atmosphere in a beautiful cozy little space. Compliments to the chef.

We tried the sausage bowl, lox croissant, and ricotta toast, and each one was a hit. The sausage bowl was hearty and flavorful, with perfectly balanced ingredients that left us wanting more. The lox croissant was beautifully flaky and packed with fresh, quality salmon, just the right amount of indulgence. The ricotta toast was light yet satisfying, with creamy ricotta that paired beautifully with its toppings. Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking delicious and thoughtfully crafted breakfast options.
