Night & Day Cafe at 847 Orange Avenue in Coronado traces to 1927, when the D and D Cafe first served the island two doors from the current address before Paul Zeller relocated and renamed it in 1954. The 20-seat horseshoe counter wraps around a 100-year-old flat-top grill beneath a 125-year-old iron hood salvaged from a ship, and every plate — from the Garbage Omelet and Porker Omelet to the chocolate chip pancakes — cooks in full view of the diner, a format that has operated continuously on the same Orange Avenue block as Avenue Liquor and Wine Shoppe. The Esquer family took over in 1996, and current owners Allie Esquer and husband Luis purchased the business in September 2022, continuing a generational handoff that began when Allie started as a waitress 13 years earlier. The menu bridges American diner classics and Mexican plates — fish tacos, the Coastal Taco Duo, breakfast burritos, and huevos rancheros share the ticket rail with burgers and patty melts, a dual-cuisine format that distinguishes it from the Parisian bistro brunch at Little Frenchie further up Orange Avenue. Late-night service runs until the early morning hours on weekends, making it one of the few post-midnight dining options on Coronado Island for Navy SEALs, Coronado High School alumni gatherings, and visitors seeking after-hours food in the 92118.
