“ All around service was very good. This is the second time I'm eating at this restaurant. The first time was in October of 2024 when I was on vacation. This time I wanted to revisit the place since I've moved to San Diego permanently. This was Memorial Day weekend. Food and service was very good and I even had pie with ice cream after my main entree. I will revisit this place again. ”
“ We found this gem as it was close to the hotel visitors were staying at. Went in to try a bakery style dinner and we pleasantly surprised. The baked goods are fantastic, from the cinnamon roll to the peach pie and everything in between. The food was spot on delicious, with a good serving size (maybe too much for some people). Prices were in line with the market value. And the service was outstanding. A smile in every person we interacted with. Be ready to wait for a bit to be seated, specially over the weekend, but definitely worth it. Highly recommended. ”
“ My daughter and I have eaten here or gotten food to go thirty times easily. Each time I want to hug myself and them. The self control it takes to not steal the chefs and take them home with me... I should get a medal. The COCONUT CREAM PIE is wonderful. It is so fresh and real tasting. It reminded me of a trip to Amish Country. I love the Chocolate Cream, Raspberry Chocolate Cream, Banana Cream and Peanut Butter Pies too. The cream pies are my favorite! I love the Biscuits & Gravy, Hash Browns, Pancakes and Link Sausage! Being able to get breakfast all day makes them my heroes! I just added the Chicken Fried Steak to my favorites list too. The Palomar Airport Chicken Salad Sandwich is delicious. It has raisins and chutney, which made it very unique. I loved it on Sourdough bread, not toasted. I tried it toasted, but it's harder to eat. The BLT with Avocado is heavenly too. The Las Flores Roast Beef Sandwich, Burger, and the onion rings are great. I just tried the Fried Shrimp, with hash browns as a side, and loved that too. I love the atmosphere and the staff. Fernando has been especially good and makes us feel so pampered. It has an old-fashioned diner vibe inside and a cute little outdoor courtyard too. The prices are great. They always have some beautiful plants and flowers to enjoy too. Lots of love to the hardworking staff that makes all of this possible. ”
“ I've eaten here so many times that I'm amazed I haven't reviewed this spot before! It's always busy in the mornings and if it's busy... you know it's got to be good! That's right, the food is good, the service is good, and the atmosphere is good. You won't regret it. Also, be sure to try their Sugar Free Banana Creme Pie. It tastes really great and you won't believe it's sugar free! ”
“ The Village Kitchen & Pie Shoppe was very good. My girlfriend and I just stopped in this morning for the first time. Love to see it crowded as that tells me the eats are good. Loved seeing the delicious pies right when you enter the restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive by multiple individuals, and I appreciate the hospitality. We will be back soon. ”
“ This place is AMAZING! We drive by and stop every time I go back to LA. The food is delicious, and the customer service is excellent. The dessert is the best part of all meals here. You must give this place a try ! ”
“ Love this place. Been coming here since they opened ages ago. Breakfast is delicious. They also still have their breakfast specials that are extreamly reasonable. Since we tend to come early we normally get the specials. Last time we came my daughter got the pancake with 2 eggs and bacon special. I ended up with the 1/2 waffle, 2 eggs and bacon. Total together was around 20. Their sandwiches are great too. I love the cup of soup & half sandwhich combo with a slice of pie. Service is always quick and fast. Kid friendly and pies are great. ”
“ Great local restaurant. Good food and reasonable prices. We came yesterday and it was so good we decided to come again. ”
