About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Ocean Beach, San Diego, Newbreak Coffee & Cafe offers a vibrant and inviting dining experience that masterfully blends the warmth of a neighborhood spot with the excitement of a diverse menu. As a beloved local café, breakfast and lunch restaurant, coffee shop, and tea house, Newbreak shines in delivering a broad spectrum of flavors that cater to both health-conscious patrons and indulgent food lovers alike.

The culinary offerings here are thoughtfully curated, with standout dishes that invite you to savor every bite. Imagine starting your day with their famously satisfying Breakfast Burrito or the flaky, buttery Newbreak Croissant, each bite bursting with rich, harmonious textures. For those drawn to more wholesome or plant-forward options, the Acai Bowl provides a fresh, fruity refreshment, while the Vegan Wrap proves their dedication to inclusive, flavorful dining. Food lovers will also delight in classics with a twist, like the Chilaquiles and the comforting Iron Skillet with Bacon, perfectly cooked to balance indulgence and heartiness.

In addition to breakfast specialties, the café serves a variety of expertly crafted grilled paninis, such as the Prosciutto, Pesto, and Chicken with its tantalizing blend of savory, sweet, and nutty notes, or the intriguing Cheesy Prosciutto Sammy, which balances fig spread and goat cheese atop grilled sourdough to create a complex yet comforting bite. Their entrée salads, from the tangy and crisp Greek Salad to the rich and textural Waldorf with its mild curry sauce, offer fresh, satisfying options that feel both nourishing and indulgent.

Whether you're craving a hearty morning Breakfast Bowl packed with eggs, cheddar, and brown rice, or a lighter homemade Birchermuesli topped with walnuts and seasonal fruits, Newbreak’s menu is a celebration of thoughtfully composed meals that please the palate and nourish the soul.

The ambiance here effortlessly complements the food. Customers repeatedly praise the laid-back, beachy vibe coupled with a welcoming atmosphere, making Newbreak not just a place to eat but a spot to gather, work, or unwind. One visitor perfectly captured this sentiment: “Locals are greeted with a beautiful level of familiarity, so warm... As a visitor, I felt equally important.” The café’s spacious seating and friendly staff create an inviting environment whether you're catching up with friends, studying, or working remotely. Outdoor vistas of Ocean Beach add to the charm, enhancing the experience with scenic tranquility.

What truly sets Newbreak apart is its harmonious balance of quality, variety, and community spirit. Fans love the ability to choose responsibly between vibrant, healthy dishes and lovingly crafted comfort foods without compromise. One regular customer shared, “It’s been steady nice, delicious food, proper portions, great service, welcoming ambience, relaxing environment,” a testimony to the consistent excellence that keeps locals coming back.

Specials, such as the Tuesday deal featuring medium drip coffee paired with a jalapeño bagel and jalapeño cream cheese at an unbeatable value, showcase Newbreak’s knack for surprises that delight both taste buds and wallets. The jalapeño bagel, in particular, is hailed by a visitor as “the best bagel I’ve ever had,” a spicy and creamy triumph that perfectly exemplifies the café’s attention to flavor and detail.

In essence, Newbreak Coffee & Cafe is more than a spot to grab a meal or coffee; it’s a dynamic community hub where food nourishes, service uplifts, and the coastal surroundings inspire.

    I love a spot where I can be responsible and choose from healthy options or treat my tummy and get something a little less healthy. It's all good here.

    This is such a cool spot! The coffee shop has lots of seating and a total neighborhood vibe. Locals come in and are greeted with a beautiful level of familiarity, so warm. As a visitor, I felt equally important to the staff. I went on 2 different days. Coffee is delicious. I had an open face breakfast bagel one day and the Jesuit Napoleon on another, both delicious. Lots of great tables to work out. Laid back easy going feel with fast service. Highly recommend!

    Great food and coffee options. Staff are very friendly and informative on options. Lots of tea options, games and a chill environment. We came here for breakfast 4 days in a row. Orders come out quick and fresh. Egg croissant was my favorite.

    Very cute cafe in OB. Food is also great with reasonable prices. However, we went in with a voucher that clearly said "Free Lunch or Breakfast" and were a bit disappointed to find that our coffee was taken off instead of one of the entrees. When we found this out, we decided not to order the drink (or order as a separate order), but were simply told it was "too late". I'm sure there could have been easy ways to resolve this, but we let it go. I guess I'm glad we didn't get a bottled drink that was a couple dollars- at least ours was a coffee drink.
