The Cafe opened on Orange Ave, Coronado, California in 1927. It opened as the D and D Cafe, located about two doors down.
In 1954, Paul Zeller bought the Cafe, moved it to its current location 847 Orange Ave. and renamed it The Night and Day Cafe. He operated, cooked and managed the cafe, serving up hearty breakfasts, burgers and comfort food. It was a lively cafe, serving the locals.
Thursday to Sunday mornings we will be open for reservations and waitlist bookings online.

WaitlistReservationsIt was pretty good. Best fish tacos I've ever had, and the chips they make fresh every time you other them so they are always nice and hot. The kitchen is right in front of you so you can see them cook, which is nice. Overall had a great meal with the boys here.
Chicken taco and grilled fish taco... I love them both and can't decide which one ranks. These were the two best tacos I have had in a very long time, In a city of great tacos! They were loaded with savory protein (cooked on the grill right in front of me) and fresh veggies. The fish taco had a generous slice of avocado on top. The grill cook was friendly and checked in on how I liked my food.
Coronado has a lot of restaurants that are flashy and tourists go because it they look trendy and overpriced. Night and day cafe is a hidden gem. I always get the tuna melt, it's amazing. You watch the cook make the food right at the bar and he's so quick and talented. You get nice big portions too. Highly recommend!
What an awesome place! The food was amazing and everyone was super friendly. I had the carne asada omelette and my fiancé built his own. The hash browns were cooked perfectly. They are open until 3am which was great because our plane landed at midnight. It was nice to get such great food at such a late hour.
This was one of the best cafes I have ever been to. You can watch them make your food right in front of you, and they had it out to us in less than 10 minutes with plenty of people already sitting before us. It was delicious, home cooked fresh breakfast. It was HUGE so we couldn't even finish it. Excellent service. Can not wait to come back!
