This place deserves great rating! Awesome view just by the shore and food is delicious. Some of the servers are very nice & kind, some can get on your nerves- just ignore them and enjoy the view :)Upvoted Mar 15- Hudson SutlerJuly 20, 2017Caroline’s is on the oceanside campus of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography (part of UCSD), and has the best breakfast views in the La Jolla neighborhood of San Diego.

- Zarita de la CerdaMay 7, 2016My favorite all time weekend breakfast hangout, watch surfers, steps go down to beach, or explore the trails, al fresco seating, power breakfast is favorite, go for the house coffee while you wait.
- Selen Özkan GörgünAugust 8, 2016Has a spectacular view!! Must try pancakes with this great view! Worths more than 9.0
Rick VessellaApril 11, 2015I had egg whites mix with maple bacon, home fries and wheat toast...all excellent. Great views of the Pacific...a must do if you are near La Jolla
SalSeptember 9, 2016One the best spots for breakfast or brunch with amazing views to the ocean. Look this photo!
Willis Allen Real EstateFebruary 9, 2014There isn't a bad seat in the house! They have a great menu and are dog friendly. Incredible atmosphere!
Sanne - Spend Life TravelingJanuary 5, 2018Lovely setting: beautiful views and sunny terrace. Their food is average and there is no table service.
The short rib hash for brunch is so good!! The line is usually long, so order online if possible.
Luke WangJanuary 20, 2017Fantastic view accompanied with great food at reasonable price. UCSD students get 30% off
Awesome location for a cafe! Unless you have a ucsd SIO permit, parking is a bit tricky
DeimosJune 6, 2016The view is epic! The food was simple, but delicious. I particularly enjoyed the blueberry pancakes.
AAMJanuary 18, 2016breakfast vs lunch in Carolina seaside coffee...Ummm in my opinion the breakfast winning 💕🙏🏻😊
TylerAugust 31, 2015Such a fantastic patio! Just go with someone who works at Scripps for that sweet discount.- Great view- Mediterrenian egg scramble and blueberry pancakes are way too delicious 👌
Kate KlampeJune 7, 2019Loved the breakfast with egg whites, bacon, tomatoes, potatoes, avocado and the Americano Coffee. 🍳🥓🍅☁️🥔🥑☕
Awesome view! Their Mediterranean omelette is really good- Zarita de la CerdaFebruary 6, 2016Love the power breakfast and sitting on the outdoor patio watching the waves. A Sunday fav.
Stephanie PenceSeptember 7, 2013Fantastic view!!!! Great place for a quick refuel before returning to surf!
Marc SchneebergerOctober 14, 2017Brunch is decent but the wait is totally not worth it! Although there is nothing better near by.....
Takis AOctober 14, 2012Nice place but the servers wanted to close up the place at 2:10 so we couldn't see the view. The place closes at 3 pm normally. WTF- Adil CanJanuary 2, 2023View is amazing but has a long wait which doesn’t worth probably he worst management that I seen.
- Robert StarkeyJune 2, 2016THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Long wait, horrible customer service, misleading advertising to download app to beat standing in line only yielded "order to go" after waiting my turn in line after all.
Heather ASeptember 16, 2013We asked if they had real maple syrup and they said yes. Not only was it fake, but it was the cheapest fake syrup.
