Right between the Taco Stand and the Donut shop is a wonderful little Coffee House. From coffee to breakfast, you can find everything to get your day started right.I had a breakfast burrito that was very flavorful. No need for salsa IMO.

Went here on a fluke and the tuna fish sandwich was bomb. It was seasoned good or something. The guy taking the order kinda had a bad attitude though

Hole in the wall within walking distance of where we were staying. My my daughter loved her veggie bagel. The only downside is the seating. Upstairs with extremely steep steps. The seating is definitely not kid/stroller friendly.

Smoothie was delicious but screwed up coffee order three times

Ive been frequenting this establishment for the best coffee, yes I walk past the Starbucks to get here because it is way better and I love the feel of the old coffeehouse. I started ordering more one day and found they have THE BEST Salmon Salad and Carne Asada fries. Perfection!

A surprisingly tasty neighborhood gem! There’s only a few outdoor tables, but lots of room inside and upstairs. The breakfast burrito and huevos rancheros were made fresh and were very good.

The coffee is amazing! The food is so flavorful

Best chilaquiles in downtown San Diego. The staff is friendly and overall the place has a good vibe.

Fantastic breakfast options! Breakfast burrito and Palomas surprise with their spicy and flavorful salsa it sure makes my mornings start with joy! My wife always gets the chilaquiles with Avocado she says she knows its a simple dish she can make at home but here at Old Gallery its like family makes it for you with love and authentic Mexican flavor! I personally love their Mexican hot chocolate and my wife is huge huge fan of their Chai latte! So if you are in Downtown SD make sure to check out this amazing family owned restaurant! Believe me you wont regret it!

I attend school and have a break between classes. Often times I need a pick me up and I decided to check this little spot out, I love supporting local businesses.The woman at the front was not terribly hospitable, seeming irritated at the suggestion that I might want a coffee and bagel sandwich at 2 in the afternoon. I relented and instead got a pastrami Ruben.The Ruben was very flavorful, the sauerkraut was crisp and acidic and the sauce was terrific. The pastrami itself tasted great but had a very noticeable amount of gristle. All this very forgivable if the bread wasnt practically falling apart soggy. Saying the sandwich was hard to eat is an understatement.The fries accompanying tasted frozen and not fresh.

Delicious food, great coffee & smoothies. I have visited many times and this place is consistent and quality.

This is a fantastic hole in the wall. From what I can tell they have typical American fare for breakfast, lunch, and early dinner, with a variety of Mexican faves on the menu. We had breakfast burritos here around lunchtime. You can choose from sausage, bacon, or chorizo as the meat inside the burrito. I got sausage and hubs got chorizo. We agreed they were both delicious! They came with a homemade salsa thats wonderfully spicy. He enjoyed their coffee (chose one with a caramel hint to it), while I chose a Mexican Mocha. That was also spicy and delicious! The staff are really friendly and the vibe is super casual. You order at the counter, then can enjoy their ample seating upstairs.

Food was delicious! Service was fast and friendly!

I am a regular at Donut Bar, so I tried out this mexican cafe next door. I had a large breakfast with chorizo, eggs etc. but it did not taste good. The woman server even gave me dirty looks because I had the donut box on the table from next door.Prices are high for mediocre food and below avg. service.I was going to give 2 stars but I saw Hector, apparently the Owner, replies to reviews and makes an apparently earnest effort to correct issues; so I bumped up a star but cant recommend this place.

Best breakfast burritos!

Best mocha.. great service...A+++

Great location in Old Town San Diego, CA Staff is always pretty helpful and friendly. Nice decor and seating with plenty of natural light. Espresso and iced tea is top notch!

Great for a quick breakfast and coffee on the cheap. The service was good. The food and coffee was good. In and out in 30 min. Far better of a breakfast option than Starbucks. Will be coming back.

I will not recommend to you to go there because a cashier was very rude. She was talking to another customer behind me while she was taking my order and ignoring me.I was a tourist visitor and I felt, yes, subjectively, that she thought that I was less important possibly because I was not a regular customer.I should have walked out. I regret I did not do it. The purchased a fruit bowl was overpriced at $7.50 before tax.If you are a tourist and go there beware and be prepared for this type of reception.However, They do not deserve my business and my money.

Been enjoying this place for many years. The owners are a wonderful family and they always remember their customers. Their food is authentic --the plates arent mentioned in All-Menus, so call & ask about their fabulous dishes. Yesterday I ate their beef mole plate with rice & beans...it was fantastic! Prices are very fair especially for the great taste & quality of their food. Highly recommend eating here & hanging out.

One of our favorite spots on our trip to San Diego. The coffee was exceptional, with the favorite being the Mexican Mocha. The chorizo breakfast burrito was also a highlight. The menu was overwhelming with options, so you can definitely find something youll love. Highly recommend!

This place is really good, I have a lot of their items. If you want tacos, I would go to the taco stand next door. However they have a large menu full of other good items that are worth while. I know from the outside the place looks small but there is a bunch of seating upstairs.

GREAT breakfast taco and super friendly counter worker made this a place for repeat visits. Prices are extremely affordable for huge portions. Ill definitely be back if Im ever in San Diego again.

I love their food. Great selection and carrots of different foods. Great tacos, great sandwiches, great smoothies!!! This place is 👌👌

One of the best spots of its kind in the area. the service was friendly and sociable. the bill wont break you. menu is similar to a restaurant in el paso i loved.

This is a fantastic place to eat lunch. The managers of this place are very friendly. I will miss eating here. I recommend the grilled sandwiches including the shrimp and mushroom sandwich. I also liked their fish plates.

This place is the best. Way better than going to any chain coffee shop. Never had anything bad here. our office goes at least one or two times a week.

A great place to grab a bite to eat for breakfast or lunch thats like your Mom used to make. I highly recommend this little hidden gem in downtown.

Stopped for a coffee and their Americano was great. Was pleased with a quick bite in trying their potato tacos doraditos. Savory and delicious.

We had the chorizo burrito and the chilaquiles. Everything was very flavorful and exactly the right amount of food. The coffee was also really good and everyone working there was friendly.

Hanging in SD for a few days. This spot is gold. Super friendly owner, great food, great service. Hole in that wall that is GOLD.

Great food for a good price. A favorite of those that work nearby.

Great for veggies, really friendly and quick service. Great price and large portions! Best place

Delicious authentic Mexican food and thats coming from a Mexican. Great customer service too!

My dad and I used to work on B St. one block away from one another. He introduced me to Old Gallery & their owners in 2005. We spent the next 5 years meeting there for coffee & cookie breaks. They make the best Mexican lattes & spiced chai lattes.The coffee was always fantastic too- so much better than Starbucks! I have such fond memories of this place. I recently found a coffeeshop in downtown Philly (where I work now) that reminds me of Old Gallery - quaint, excellent coffee, with an upstairs area - though of course nothing is as wonderful as Old Gallery- a priceless gem in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter. I hope all is well & look forward to stopping in on my next visit home. - Clancy & Catherine (longtime patrons of Old Gallery)

Nice staff, good food, large portions.

Awesome food out of such a hole in the wall! I come here for lunch when Im in a hurry downtown, and its always really good!

Breakfast was great! Had the S.O. B. and my wife had the Big Breakfast, both were terrific.

The boss is very kind, people like it very much, breakfast is delicious.

Delicous coffee, tasty treats, plenty of space upstairs to stretch out. A great place in San Diego to slow down and enjoy the sights and the weather.

Tasty homemade breakfast, fresh baked items and good coffee at cozy place.

Good breakfast and lunch here.

Very cute coffee place that also serves Mexican food!

Good coffee. amazing oatmeal. friendly service

Good food, affordable prices, lots of seating upstairs... and a couple tables out front if you want to people-watch.

Delicious food, quick no nonsense service, excellent plating aesthetic. Would come back anytime.

Great Food at excellent prices

Love this little spot. I usually stop in for a quick cup of coffee and for a breakfast croissant. I really enjoy their Mexican mochas as well. The service is fast, and the people are nice and friendly. They also have great lunch options - their blt to is my go to for lunch (theyve mastered the right crisp on bacon). They even have acai bowls, and just a variety of menu items that are great (i.e. Italian soda). Plus you cant beat their prices and their portions. You order at the counter, get a number, and enjoy your food at their seating upstairs and/or the few right in front of the restaurant. If your in the downtown area and need a new place come here.

Love this place go all the time and everything is good!!

Great breakfast burritos and they allow you to call in for pickup

Great service and great food.
