    The Bitches say: A. We couldn’t give a restaurant with that amazing French toast anything but the best grade. Plus, the La Jolla cove views are pretty unbeatable. Read more

    Great food and great view, nice service as well. I had the salmon with coconut rice and absolutely loved it. Banana bread and ice cream desert was great too!

    We like the laid back ambiance. The View if you get lucky to be outside. I got the Carne Benedict. The green sauce is good. My son got the burger. For us, the beef is bland.

    Cute seaside joint with beautiful views and a killer Sunday brunch. The staff is really sweet and accommodated our large group during a really busy time without a fuss. Naughty burrito FTW.

    You have to get over the smell of bird and sea lion poop. But you can't beat the view and the delicious coast toast on a clear sunny day

    The French toast is absolutely amazing! And eating breakfast with a view was pretty spectacular, too.

    Tasty food (brunch / lunch / dinner) with amazing views, if you manage to get a seat on the patio or terrace. Parking is hell though.

    Gorgeous view of the La Jolla shoreline, swimmers, kayakers and seals. Try the Coast Toast and the Chilaquiles . Awesome service to boot. Read more

    The ginger-chili glazed salmon is amazing. The accompanying coconut cilantro rice makes this dish really shine.

    The pancakes are average. The smoked salmon is excellent. And if you need a caffeine blast, get the Keith Richards- a quad shot of espresso mixed with hot chocolate.

    The coast toast is a MUST! But, to enjoy other items, just get a side of it. Perfect portion!
