History

Fig Tree Cafe began its journey in Pacific Beach in 2008, as a breakfast spot by Johan Engman. Its success led to the opening of the Liberty Station venue, which quickly became a beloved part of the community. The cafe's name is inspired by the fig trees that dot the San Diego landscape, symbolizing the establishment's deep roots in local culture and its commitment to fresh, sustainable fare.

Quick tip: Arrive early on weekends or visit on a weekday morning to beat the long brunch lines for patio tables.
