The Quay Cafe

9390 Towne Centre Drive San Diego, CA  92121

Set beside a beautiful outside courtyard teeming with plants and water features. What more could a person want looking for the perfect meal spot?

The cafe is located inside, place your order and they call you when ready. Or you can order online.

If you prefer to sit inside there is a smartly coordinated seating area. Straws, napkins, plastic utensils, salad dressing and sugar packets are located far left of the front counter.

First visit was for lunch I ordered a cold brewed coffee and a personal size sausage pizza. My coffee came with caramel flavoring and almond milk, but no sweetener. I asked after I tasted it but alas I had to sweeten it myself. If it was a hot coffee no problem. But since mine was cold sweetener does not mix so well. Next visit I’ll order a different coffee drink with sweetener (if possible) as I don’t like black coffee.

My pizza tasted good, sausage was flavorful, crust was warm and fluffy except for one small portion got cooked a bit too long causing it to harden. Overall a very good pizza. Next visit I’m gonna try a breakfast item.

Second visit I arrived early for breakfast. I inquired about the addition of sugar to any coffee they serve. The nice lady at the counter said they do not add sugar, only the listed flavorings for sweetness. My breakfast order was the ham & Swiss croissant with a diet Dr Pepper. The croissant was light, fluffy and tasted good with the ham & Swiss. Overall a pleasant experience.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs. If you'd like to send me a message or comment, please do so at; maggie@hungryones.com We just celebrated our 14th Anniversary this October 2016!! So exciting!! 2015 A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting. Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.
