The Sun Cafe / Funky Garcia's

10 January 2009

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of the Sun Cafe. The Sun Cafe has been a fixture of San Diego life for decades. It has been own and run by the same family. The art deco building is topped by letters that obviously sported a neon sign at one time. You can see an entry on the cafe at Neon San Diego. More recently one of the more pedestrian beer advertisement neon sign. That is gone too. The Cafe used to display and sell local art on its walls and in its window. The patrons were welcoming of the homeless who often find a hard time fiding a place to dine because of the hygiene problems inherent to the condition. The address for the building is:

421 Market St.
San Diego CA 92101
