Perched on the mid-level of Del Mar Plaza at 1555 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014, Pacifica Breeze Cafe is a bistro-style breakfast and lunch spot with one of the most panoramic ocean views in the Village of Old Del Mar. The cafe sits just below its upscale sister restaurant Pacifica Del Mar, a fine-dining seafood destination that has held the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence every year since 1992. Downstairs on the plaza's ground floor, An's Hatmakers scoops award-winning handcrafted gelato named after hats in a haberdashery-themed shop, making a gelato stop before or after brunch a Del Mar Plaza tradition. Breeze Cafe takes a casual, counter-service approach with an expansive sun-filled outdoor patio lined with umbrellas and heat lamps. The breakfast menu highlights include a sugar-spiced salmon hash topped with red potatoes, feta, green onions, cilantro, and mustard sauce, alongside eggs Benedict, acai bowls, four styles of waffles, and a Del Mar power breakfast wrap with egg whites, salsa, tofu, and kale. Lunch shifts to sandwiches, salads, and small plates, with cocktails, beer, and wine available throughout the day. The cafe is open daily from 8 AM to 3 PM, validates for one hour of free parking in the plaza garage, and welcomes dogs on the patio. High chairs are available, and while there is no dedicated children's menu, kid-friendly dishes are offered at both breakfast and lunch. The European-style Village of Del Mar stretches from 9th to 15th Streets, and guests who finish brunch at Breeze Cafe can walk a few blocks down 15th Street to Seagrove Park, the beach, or the boutique-lined corridor toward Jake's Del Mar for a sunset cocktail. The combination of affordable ocean-view dining, fresh ingredients, and a dog-friendly patio keeps Breeze Cafe among the most recommended breakfast spots in Del Mar.
