This cafe is great! They have a patio where you can enjoy the fresh air or you can dine inside. Either way you have a delightful view. The food is delicious and the service is courteous and quick! Excellent venue for a work day lunch. Enjoy!

Great food, love the California omelette. I also love planes and flying. Nice to enjoy your meal while watching planes and the occasional jet take off and land.

Great food served with a smile. This morning I sat inside but they also have a nice dining area outside. I love the food here and it is served hot, like it should be. The staff is friendly and they keep your drinks filled. It is nice to see the planes take off and land with the hills and blue skies as a backdrop.

Fun to watch the planes take off, fly around, and land. You can also watch the pilots get ready and prepaired to fly. They have good breakfast here also, which sometimes you can talk to the pilots when they get a bite to eat too.

Great food. Love the atmosphere, and the staff. They can be a little slow sometimes but with minimal staff that is expected. Highly recommended for breakfast! Try the Steak and Eggs.

This is our second time being here. It's always a great atmosphere for the kids to be able to watch the planes take off while eating their food. The prices are good and the food has always been delicious. I loved that they brought out the pancakes in the shape of a Mickey head, and that was without prompting from us. The blueberry pancakes were loaded with blueberries which was very nice as my kids love fruit! The staff has always been very friendly and we have never had to wait long for anything, even refills. Definitely something I highly recommend for anyone who is in the area. Even as an adult, we loved getting to sit outside and watch the planes take off and pull in to park. Can't beat the experience!

Gillespie Field Cafe remains my top choice for coffee. The baristas consistently craft the perfect latte, and the cozy, inviting atmosphere at the 2015 N Marshall Ave, El Cajon, CA 92020, USA location makes it my sanctuary for relaxation.
