I wish I could have had 1 more breakfast here; I ordered scrambled eggs with spinach, cheese, and sauteed mushrooms and onions and came with rosemary cottage potatoes.

Excellent place for every breakfast you have in La Jolla. Different things on the menu in very substantial quantity. Stayed in La Jolla for three days and ate breakfast there every morning. Excellent staff, terrific service, fantastic-tasting food and perfect location and ambiance. more
