    We were seated promptly in a perfect seat by the window. The brunch was amazing with a wide variety of selections. We tested nearly every item. Lol. 2 hours to enjoy the brunch so we weren’t rushed. Our waitress was attentive and saw to our needs (refilled drinks, water, coffee). This was our first time for the brunch after several dinners. I have no doubt we’ll be back for more brunches.

    Very interesting spot. it’s small but once you start drinking it starts to feel bigger and more comfortable. If you’re claustrophobic probably not the spot for you. Over all the music was a surprise. Order a blast off special drink and you’ll see the experience

    I have not been here in a few year’s but San Diego Tiki Ladies met here 2 years ago so we came back. Wow! What a difference. The Paper Boat was very good and we all could not say enough about the food. Definitely worth it to go just for that.

    We had never heard of the Switchboard Coffee Shop and Restaurant. The food was excellent and for a price fix dinner, it was surprising. We will go for brunch soon.
