Alright fam, if you haven’t hit up Sister Ray’s in University Heights yet, you’re seriously sleeping on one of San Diego’s coolest, quirkiest, and most vibey brunch spots—like this place is a straight-up mood from the second you roll up and see that retro neon glow and hear the records spinning through the open windows 🎶 tucked inside the heart of Park Boulevard (aka the pulse of University Heights), this cafe/record bar/restaurant hybrid is where breakfast meets basslines, and lemme tell you—it delivers every time

☕What’s So Special About Sister Ray’s?

• 🎶 It’s a Record Bar – yeah, you read that right, this isn’t your basic brunch spot, they’re spinning vinyl behind the counter while you sip your coffee—think 70s psych rock, soul classics, and low-key funk

• 🍳 Menu That Hits Hard – don’t expect greasy diner basics, this menu’s got style: think tamago-style eggs, crispy rice bowls, pork katsu sandwiches, and some vegan-friendly fire like the miso-roasted carrot toast

• 🍸 Cocktail Game = Strong – whether it’s a turmeric mezcal margarita or a grapefruit mimosa, you’re gonna wanna sip slow and chill for a while

• 🖤 Vibes on Lock – dark wood booths, pink neon, art that feels like it came off your coolest friend’s Instagram, and music that makes you stay longer than you planned
