Stop in to Mama Kat’s for breakfast, lunch, or coffee, because the only thing frightening around here is how good the food is. 🍳🥪☕
We’ve got scary good portions, a delicious cup of coffee, and a seat with your name on it. 🧡🖤
Come hungry (we dare you). 🦇

Welcome Home. We are back in business at our new location. 288 Rancheros Drive San Marcos CA 92069.
We are excited to share our new location with you! It was a lot of time and effort from our family, employees and some pretty great contractors to get these doors open as quickly as we did. In 6 weeks we left the old location and got up and running for our first day last Friday. We want to welcome you to our new home that’s full of great amenities, peekaboo artifacts from the original location and special spaces that are dear to our families heart and history. Please be patient in the coming weeks as we are still purr-fecting our operations and work flow. We had over 30 years to figure things out at the old location so there are bound to be some bumpy roads in the coming weeks. Thank you all for your patience, support & interest. We can’t wait to share our passion for food and service with you once again.
