Separate Plant Based Menu - Edit
Since we have only lived in the Carlsbad area for two years, this was the third time we had brunch at Mama Kat's. We had heard that the owners were Plant Based but had not yet had the pleasure of meeting them. Today we had the opportunity to meet both of the owners and thank them for adding a Plant Based/Vegan menu to their restaurant.
Read moreWith each visit to Mama Kat's, I have tried something different on the Plant Based menu and today was my favorite thus far. I'm sorry that I didn't take any photos but next time I will and will post them here. I ordered the Tofu Scramble topped with Pepper Jack Cheese and Avocado. We prefer the Home Fried potatoes vs the Hash Browns. In lieu of toast, I asked for flour tortillas to make my own breakfast tacos. The home-made house salsa to top it all off was a big hit too.
My husband ordered the Ckn Fried Ckn Steak with Pepper Gravy and Home Fried Potatoes. That was his second time ordering that meal since it's the only place in N. Country where you can get it. He enjoyed it even more this second time with Home Fried Potatoes.
The only vegan muffin is the Carrot Cake Muffin but it is delicious. You can order Whole Fruit pies online at https://www.mamakats.com/pies/dairy-free-pie.
The staff here is GREAT! Super friendly and attentive. Go during the week if you can and preferably before the lunch hour. If you can only make it on the weekends, go online and pay a nominal fee to make a reservation. It is well worth it.
PLEASE be advised that Mama Kat's will be moving into their beautiful, new restaurant sometime in 2026! The new address is: 288 Rancheros Drive in San Marcos. I can't wait to see it.

Jackfruit hash a winner - Edit
The jackfruit hash was perfectly cooked! It was super crisp with a char and the tofu scramble was well-balanced and easy to eat! Coffee options and toast were good too! We’ll be back!

Mama Kats serves awesome plant-based food - Edit
I ordered the vegan breakfast burrito and the jackfruit hash. I’m a pretty great vegan cook and I was very impressed with both of these dishes. Great portions and so tasty! Best jackfruit I’ve ever had. The waiter told us that half the family eats plant based and so the menu reflects that.
Read morePros: Flavor, Portions, Service
Cons: I wish they had dinner

Amazing selection, amazing taste! - Edit
So freaking good. There is a wait for this place so get there early or get a reservation. Huge plant based selection. Great food. Great coffee! I had the vegan skillet $23. Really amazing. Coffees are super good! Deserves 5 stars, but they have non-vegan options so I can’t choose that.
Read morePros: Coffee, Food, Selection
Cons: Wait, Wait , Wait
