I really like this Swami’s location. Unlimited coffee bar. Large menu that’s always delicious. Plenty of gluten free options. Nice indoor and outdoor area. Nice bathrooms. Parking can be a little bit of a challenge, but not too bad.

Nice place to have breakfast. Their food is delicious & portions are large. My omlette was so large that I was able to bring half of it home. The stuffed french toast was delicious! The coffee drinkers in our group enjoyed the coffee bar with self-service choices. Be sure your entire group is there, as they will only seat you then.

Great visit for a first time . Was greeted by a grumpy hostess, but after that it was a wonderful visit. Wait person was kind and attentive. She made sure we had all we needed to make our meal a success.

Swami’s in Escondido is the perfect spot to kick back and relax with friends! The atmosphere is super chill, making it a great place to hang out and enjoy good company. The menu has an impressive variety, offering something for everyone, whether you're in the mood for breakfast, lunch, or a casual dinner. As a big fan of blue cheese, I was thrilled to see they had a blue cheese burger on the menu—it was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection, and packed with flavor. Classic American comfort food done right! I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying more from their menu. If you’re in the area, Swami’s is a must-visit for great food and good vibes

Great selection of delicious food from the menu, and not just your typical selections. Check out the menu online to see the wide array of options - it'll make you hungry! All our food was really good, as was the service. Definitely adding this to my list of places to frequent.

"I had the pleasure of visiting swamis Cafe this morning for breakfast, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a perfect start to the day. The menu offered a fantastic selection of dishes, and everything I tried was not only beautifully presented but also incredibly delicious. The flavors were fresh and well-balanced, leaving me eager to return and try more. The staff members were friendly and attentive, ensuring a lovely dining experience. I highly recommend swamis to anyone looking for a memorable breakfast spot!"

Absolutely obsessed with the eggs Benedict—perfectly poached and drowning in deliciousness. The stuffed French toast? Basically dessert disguised as breakfast and I have zero regrets. Laid-back vibe, friendly staff, and the kind of food that makes you want to write poetry. Parking’s a bit tricky, but worth every loop around the lot. Go hungry, leave happy.
