The cafe is upstairs above a really nice pilot shop. You get a real good airport feel, with all of the pictures on the walls and model aircraft hanging from the ceiling. The view from the restaurant is fantastic. You can admire your own plane, or watch others take-off and land. The restaurant recently added a nice and much larger outdoor seating area.
Parking is now very close to the cafe and pilot shop.
If you have not visited Palomar Airport in a few years there have been some changes. First of all the transient parking has been moved. It is now closer to the restaurant. Each of those commuter airplanes holds over 30 passengers. Enjoy the food, views, and relaxing atmosphere at the Palomar Airport Cafe.
