About the Business

Specialties

As one of the most innovative restaurants in San Diego, we are committed to changing the way our guests think about food. Everything we do is made from scratch and with love. From our signature breads to our fruit-infused sangrias, something is always cooking at Cafe 21 San Diego. We only work with the best, freshest ingredients to bring you unique seasonal dishes made from locally grown produce, hormone-free grass fed meat, wild seafood, and antibiotic-free Mary's Free Range Chickens. We love hand making our own sourdough bread, which is baked daily using organic flour and a very special starter named Lola. What is important to you is important to us and we are here to meet your tastes, accommodating gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan guests. With an eclectic menu offering, Cafe 21 San Diego will awaken your palette with our superior food artistry and handcrafted drinks. Be ready to experience Nature's Kitchen as interpreted by our revered and most inventive Chef Leyla.
