    The Stuffed French toast is everything! You might have to stand in line to get a seat but it's worth it plus they sometimes offer sweets for people in line. Their fruits are fresh and extra good.

    Great service. We had a little chat with waiter and told her that we on honeymoon in La Jolla. In 10 minutes she brought us a piece of cake as a sweet compliment from the restaurant. It was very nice!

    Stuffed French toast is great and more than enough...just make sure to share it with someone or have your partner get something with eggs, meat, etc. if you want more than just delicious French Toast.

    We are here for breakfast (served till 3pm on Sat) They take your name and number and text you to be seated. The order was stuffed French toast and La Jolla Benedict. They were yummy and big portions.

    My recommendation: Don't eat for 3 days and order every single thing on the menu. Delicious food!! French toast is out of this world, but the scone with their watermelon homemade jam blew my mind.

    The fruit bowl is one of the only ones I've seen worthy of being called a BOWL. Huge amount of fruit, berries, melons, and citrus. Reasonable price and the scones are amazing. The staff is super sweet

    Sitting on the terrasse was lovely. Our waiters were very nice. We really enjoyed the food, from the avocado mash to eggs Benedict and the pancakes. You need to try the iced Mexican Mocha!

    Everything we had was amazing! Mexicali, La Jolla eggs and stuffed French toast. I loved my Mexican mocha, totally recommend it here. A few flys but nothing in there control.

    Food was delicious! Coffee was good but my friend’s Mexican Mocha was even better! If you’re looking into a breakfast or brunch place this is a must go!

    Great place for Sunday breakfast in the Cove. La Jolla Cove is right across the street. Try the different kinds of Pancakes. The place will make you fell as if you are in A small New England home.

    I came here with a friend yesterday and I had to bring my husband today! The polenta Benedict is to die for, and they make the best French toast, it's isn't too eggy! The scones are amazing!

    Pass on classic options. This place knows how to do sweet breakfast well! Brioche French toast melts in your mouth. Scone + jam = deliciousness.

    Polenta eggs Benedict was spot-on and original. The goat cheese added a savory side to the sweet polenta and perfectly cooked poached eggs.

    Benny and French toast varietals are all strong, but the chilaquiles are something special. ask for the chalula sauce as they come to the table a bit under seasoned.

    The kids' pancake is huge and delicious! My kids love it. I don't think I have ever had a bad meal here. And their granola is FAB - take a bag home or to give as a gift-- you won't regret it!

    It is a big portion for the stuffed french toast. Im liking the burnt crunchy edges of the bread. 😆

    The eggs Benedict are delicious! The home fries are great too. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside with a hint of spice.

    Great find with a nice relaxing vibe, great menu at the right price. The fish in the fish tacos is grilled rather than fried; nice & light. AND they have a Dyson Airblade in the bathroom. Awesome.

    Eggs benedict are great. Try with crab, and maybe without tomato to keep the muffins from getting soggy.

    You can order half Benedict's and half batters. The crab Benedict is legit! And don't forget single orders of the French toast.

    Get here early to avoid crowds. Order the California Benedict or the Country French Toast. Insanely delish!

    I highly recommend the crab cake salad- delish! Although, I kinda wanted to take a bite of every person's meal sitting out on the patio. Go here on any sunny day and you won't be disappointed.

    Stick with the amazing stuffed French toast, an be sure to top it with fresh strawberry and banana. Benedict was lackluster at best!
