Morning Glory, located in Little Italy, San Diego took me back to Japan. These meringue infused pancakes are about three inches tall and had me smiling from ear to ear with each bite. They are incredibly light, airy, and literally melt in your mouth. I loved the texture and how moist they were. As light as they were, they were surprisingly filling. ### socalyums — 4.5/5 · Feb 13, 2024 This spot is so hyped up, but it is actually pretty good! Love the Japanese pancakes here! The chilaquiles are also very delicious! If you’re looking for a fun spot to impress, this is it! ### foodie__sandiego — 5.0/5 · Dec 3, 2023 The wait is always worth it for soufflé pancakes! ### user_407264431 — 5.0/5 · Apr 2, 2024 Yummy soufleé pancakes ### user_856650386 — 5.0/5 · Dec 6, 2024 Delicious breakfast, swift service and great ambiance! ### dulcexxcandy — 4.3/5 · Jun 28, 2025 Bougie Brunch place for the girls. my carbonara pasta and fluffy pancakes = 10/10 ### internationalfoodie — 5.0/5 · Mar 20, 2025 Such a gorgeous spot and the food is incredible. The line is very long, for good reason, so try go outside peak time or you may feel it’s not quite worth spending two hours of your day waiting to go to brunch. ## Nearby - [Din Tai Fung La Jolla](https://frankiapp.com/business/din-tai-fung-la-jolla-4833) — Taiwanese - 4301 La Jolla Village Dr (btwn Genesse Ave & Executive Way), San Diego, CA 92122, US - [insideOut](https://frankiapp.com/business/insideout-23754) — American · $$$ - 1642 University Ave (Centre St), San Diego, CA 92103, US - [Yun Tea House](https://frankiapp.com/business/yun-tea-house-98023) — Tea Room · $$$$ - 4344 Convoy St Suite M, , San Diego, CA 92111, US - [Haidilao Hot Pot - San Diego](https://frankiapp.com/business/haidilao-hot-pot-san-diego-31606) — Hotpot · $$$ - 4545 La Jolla Village Dr Ste F9, San Diego, CA 92122, US - [An’s Dry Cleaning Gelato](https://frankiapp.com/business/an-s-dry-cleaning-gelato-10344) — Dessert Shop · $$$$ - 3017 Adams Ave, San Diego, CA 92116, US - [Raised by Wolves](https://frankiapp.com/business/raised-by-wolves-7619) — Cocktail Bar · $$ - 4301 La Jolla Village Dr #2030, San Diego, CA 92122, US - [Born & Raised](https://frankiapp.com/business/born-raised-318) — Steakhouse - 1909 India St, , San Diego, CA 92101, US - [Selva Coffee House](https://frankiapp.com/business/selva-coffee-house-101250) — Coffee Shop · $$$$ - 3535 Camino del Rio W, , San Diego, , CA 92110, US --- View full profile, photos, videos, and reviews on Franki: https://frankiapp.com/business/morning-glory-7719
