Pipes Café in Cardiff has the Best Breakfast Burritos 🌯 in San Diego. The #1 burrito with eggs, sausage, cheese, and avocado or the #2 burrito with eggs, bacon, cheese and potatoes are my favorite. Both are huge portions and the pica sauce is amazing!
Pipes has been serving delicious breakfast for 30+ years since 1995.

This is one of my all time favorite breakfast spots. I have not been here in awhile because I live in North Park. I always love it and the staff is always nice and friendly.
