Look inside the latest addition to the Pacific Beach neighborhood: A charming beach bungalow-turned-café. Eater San Diego shares details on Palmys in PB, plus other top stories of the week from our local food and drink scene.
Palmys Brings All-Day Brunch Vibes to Pacific Beach
A historic cottage with a restored garden patio at the corner of Cass and Felspar is now home to Palmys, a café, espresso bar, and market opening on Aug. 30 in Pacific Beach. Perfect for a pre-or-post surf session refueling, the eatery offers an all-day breakfast menu that includes creatively-topped toasts and breakfast bowls. The craftsman bungalow that houses Palmys was lovingly restored by its new owners and features historic photos of the beachside cottage, which is said to be the third-ever building in Pacific Beach.
