“ Really cool place down in IB with good food and drinks. Definitely worth of visit if you're down that way and looking for a nice cafe. ”
“ My favorite spot to get açaí. It's absolutely delicious. The employees are incredible. It's always nice to receive a friendly greeting from them. Love the art style inside. ”
“ A cute local coffee spot that was within steps of IB and our Airbnb for the weekend. Got the croissant sandwich. There aren't many coffee shops in the area, so was happy to find this place for a quick caffeine and breakfast fix. ”
“ This was actually the first place we ate at while visiting Imperial Beach! Location was convenient and there's parking right outside the building which is nice. Also close to the water. :) Staff were very friendly. I got the steak sandwich while my girlfriend got the Lox Bagel. Pricing for both was pretty average and nothing outrageous. Steak was very well good, had a nice texture and was savory. I also liked that the bread was nice and crispy. Well portioned too, I was pretty full in finished both halves. Tried some of the Lox Bagel too, and the salmon was delicious! I can see it being a good breakfast option. Great place for a quick bite. Interior has seating and feels on par with the beach vibes. PROS: - great location, parking available - pricing is average - steak sandwich is delicious; meat was well cooked CONS: - none! :) ”
“ I've eaten here for years and service, food and drinks are very good. I usually get a Turkey egg and cheese croissant (chipotle Bueno) which I highly recommend. Also the chai latte or the banana coffee are both good choices. Inside and outside seating make this a very comfortable place to eat. ”
“ This place is seriously the best and I will come every single time I am down here now. Very very very reasonably priced food, healthy options and hearty options. Coffee is amazing 10/10 they also had a bunch of fun lattes, the mermaid one looked yummy! Free cold waters, friendly staff and right next to the beach. Lots of people here and lots of room to relax and eat. Love it here!! ”
“ After I spent the night in the downtown Imperial Beach, I was cruising through their Strand and was looking for a quiet place to relax, grab a coffee and do some remote online work. I found Katy's Café and was pleasantly surprised. Katy's Café is a quaint coffee shop in downtown Imperial Beach and it is almost the perfect spot to grab some breakfast, a sip of coffee and even do remote work. Katy's Café is right on Seacoast Dr, within walking distance and close proximity to the beach and many other shops in the area. The interior decor is cute and comprises of many hand-painted murals that amply represent the coastal beach vibes. They have a few pieces of decor and also paintings for sale. The seating is varied and has space for singles, couples or even bigger groups of 6. My only observation is that the seating wasn't cushioned, but the setup was still nice. Their bathroom was spacious, clean, had a changing-table and more beautiful painted mural artwork. Service was excellent and attentive. I was greeted with a smile and also observed that they were very thorough in asking customers if they served the military (to give a discount I presume). My smoothie was pretty tasty and I loved that they used real bananas. The price was reasonable for the size and I was pleased that I could enjoy sipping while plugged into their outlet in my own quiet space. Perfect for remote online work. I definitely recommend coming to Katy's Café the next time in Imperial Beach and try their delicious sandwiches too (everyone was enjoying theirs). ”
“ This is my favorite coffee shop in IB! The service is good and the coffee is even better! I get a vanilla breve and occasionally a dirty chi at least 3 times a week and it's always like sipping on heaven Their food is pretty dang good as well :) they have many options to choose from! ”
“ October 31, 2023 about 9:30 AM. My sister visiting from Virginia treated me and my husband to this cute little cafe in Imperial Beach. She was due to fly out later in the day. I hadn't been here in years and was pleasantly surprised at how much they've improved IB. I was impressed at the array of new storefronts. Katy's Cafe wasn't very big but was bright, clean, and colorfully whimsical in decor. The ladies behind the counter were very sweet & welcoming. We all ordered their breakfast croissants aptly named "Croissant Beginnings" along with hot coffees. My sister & hubby had sausage while I ordered bacon. They are deliciously made with cheese and egg on a toasted, buttery croissant. Coffee was very tasty. Will definitely return when we're in the area again. ”
