The Lay of the Land
First things first, understand your enemy...er, opponent...we'll go with friendly competitor. Morning Glory operates on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations, no magic tricks (unless you can convince the hostess you're a long-lost waffle iron). Be prepared to wait, but fret not, for the wait can be an adventure (more on that later).
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
Gearing Up for Glory
- The Early Bird Gets the Pancakes: This proverb holds true here. Aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before opening (they open at 8 am on weekdays and weekends).
- Bring Your A-Game Outfit: While comfort is key, channeling your inner brunch enthusiast with a fun outfit can boost morale (and maybe snag you some compliments in line).
- Pack Entertainment: Board games, a good book, a playlist of upbeat breakfast anthems – distraction is your friend.
Pro Tips for the Savvy Bruncher
- The Power of the Plus One: A larger group might mean a longer wait, but it also means more people to hold your place in line while you caffeinate or explore Little Italy.
- The Bar Savior: For parties of two, consider grabbing a seat at the bar. The full menu is available, and you might even score some front-row entertainment watching the waffle-making wizards work their magic.
- Embrace the Wait: Little Italy is a charming neighborhood. Explore the shops, grab a coffee, or people-watch and soak up the San Diego sun.
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
Bonus Round: How to Survive the Line
- Hydration is Key: San Diego mornings can be sunny. Bring water (and maybe an umbrella for shade) to stay cool and comfortable.
- Pack Some Snacks: Hanger is a real enemy. Stash some granola bars or fruit in your bag for a pre-breakfast pick-me-up.
- Make Friends (or Not): The line can be a great way to meet fellow brunch enthusiasts. But if you prefer your solitude, some noise-cancelling headphones can be your best friend.
