Loved the food and the beach vibes at this restaurant. The chilaquiles were fantastic, as was the veggie omelette. Hearty portions too so enough leftover for a second meal. A large selection of coffees, including organic options, and plenty of outside seating. We’ll definitely be back!

Great breakfast spot that was able to serve us quickly and without fuss. I ordered a denver omelette and multigrain pancake, both of which were perfect (tip: order the real maple syrup to along with your pancakes!). Our table also ordered the chorizo hash, kids pancakes, and chicken quesadilla. Everybody was happy as a clam. Do not think twice about stopping here!

I’ve been coming to Swami‘s for about two decades since I was in high school and it’s always consistently really good. It’s right on beautiful PCH right across from the self-realization center and just above the ocean cliffs. The location truly is one of my favorite parts of coming here. You order at the counter and then they bring the food to you so it’s not a traditional full service breakfast restaurant but that just means the tables turn quicker and the wait times are never too long. It does get especially crowded on summer days, especially when the beach is popular so that something to be aware of. They have a small parking lot next-door, but there is also free street and neighborhood parking close by.
For this visit, I chose the El Paso Benedict and really liked it. It’s basically traditional a Benedict, but with chorizo and avocado, which is a great combination for me. One of the things I also love about this place is that you choose what sort of coffee you want from about 10 different options. I chose three different ones while I was there because it is self-serve I was able to make it just how I like. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area or especially to anyone visiting San Diego.

While they have a great variety of breakfast options most of the food is mediocre. The seared ahi wrap tasted like one of the ingredients had mold, even though the blue cheese wasn’t on the ingredient list 🙂 lobster egg Benedicts were not great as well, seafood tasted like a canned version that spent a few years in the storage. Pineapple pancakes were great, the only food item I would recommend! Also love the chill vibe of the place.

This is the original and also the very best Swami’s location. I have been coming here for two decades at least it feels like and the quality and atmosphere have been the same. Amazing! Can’t say enough good things about this location. We live in Vista and have our own swami’s, but being at the this location hits different. The vibes are so good here.

I would personally rate this place a 2 or 3, but my friends really like their hot dogs, so I’ll give a 4 for the food overall.
Starting with the service, it was very poor. They didn’t have any coffee available because the espresso machine was broken, so I couldn’t get what I came for. When I asked for chai tea, I was told it was the last packet they had.
I ordered waffles, which were served plain with just a few strawberries. It didn’t feel worth the price, and the taste was just okay — I only ate half. On the other hand, my friend really enjoyed his hamburger and said it was one of the best he’s had.

This location definitely needs to work on the quality of cooking their food. I usually go to the Carlsbad location and they have phenomenal food every single time. Here at Encinitas, I gave it a second try and the food was still mediocre. My french toast came out premade from the early morning. It was not fresh or soft like hot french toast is usually off the grill. More like cold and dried out from being under a heat lamp. Then they forgot my potatoes and bacon, after a reminder it came out pipping hot which was good news. The people sitting across from us didnt even touch their food and just left. Both times I’ve eaten here were during the weekdays. Sadly I won’t be coming back to this location until they hire more kitchen staff or improve their cooking.

Great food and wonderful service by Luis! All of us enjoyed our lunch and being treated so well and I was thrilled that they had lots of vegetarian options including soy chorizo. Great job Luis and team!

This spot wasn’t really for me. The ingredients felt a bit low quality, especially for brunch. I’d personally choose Nectarine Grove instead.

Stopped by for breakfast in our way to Ensenada. Great breakfast selection. We had the following:
Lobster Benedict: amazing
Eggs Benedict: delightful.
California omelette (watch out for jalepenos). Add a good spice but my mother in law who does not enjoy anything spicy was Afraid to have another bite.
Burrito: delicious
Waffles Benedict: delicious
Side choice of fruit, or potatoes
I had a cold brew and my wife and mother in law had the coffee. There was a great selection of various types of coffee.
We will definitely stop by again!
