More than just food.
Established in 2018 by Sweet 100, Grain & Grit Collective is a San Diego-based hospitality group dedicated to providing Southern California with the most compelling guest experience possible. Since day one, our focus has been on creating restaurants that are as community-driven as they are memorable, blending high-quality food, genuine hospitality, and spaces that bring people together.
Our portfolio now centers around two beloved concepts. Carnitas’ Snack Shack, a San Diego institution, continues to serve up crave-worthy pork dishes, refreshing cocktails, and lively waterfront experiences that embody the spirit of the city. Alongside it, the iconic Broken Yolk Cafe carries forward its tradition as a breakfast and brunch favorite, delighting guests with generous portions, creative takes on classics, and a welcoming neighborhood feel.
Together, these brands represent Grain & Grit’s commitment to culinary innovation and authentic guest connections, while also honoring the traditions and communities that have made them household names.
