The Cottage La Jolla: Innovative New American Breakfast & Brunch

The BEST French toast I’ve ever had!!! Soft moist and didn’t need a lot of syrup. Emphasis on the soft the bread was so darn fluffy and good!

Really great spot for brunch. We had a seat inside and as soon as you walk inside you are instantly smacked with a sugar high from all the beautiful sweets and baked goodies. Staff is have attentive to everyone including each other. Even if you don’t have brunch here would recommend stopping in to get some tasty and fun desserts or baked goods.

This place was highly recommended to me, and it didn’t disappoint. The cinnamon swirl pancakes, which were a must-try, were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sweet treat. I also tried the Morning Glory sandwich, which was recommended by the staff and was quite high on the menu. The service was great, and the hot sauce they gave us was incredibly spicy and flavorful. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area.

One of the best brunch I ever had. All the plates were tempting, even the ones on others tables

A perfect spot for brunch. The food was very tasty and well prepared, and the coffee was equally enjoyable. The seating arrangement was comfortable and pleasant, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the meal. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with great food, nice ambience, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a five-star experience and a place I would happily visit again.

I usually wait until I get home to write reviews, but wow!!! This couldn’t wait. The food at The Cottage is absolutely delicious and full of flavor. They even served a warm scone with fresh jelly, which was such a nice surprise. Simple, comforting, and truly memorable. Definitely coming back.

Food was good, and service was good in terms of attentiveness of the server, but food took forever and we only ordered three simple items. I think that may be a kitchen problem. We ordered sparkling wine and it was neither cold or bubbly; we sent this back with no issues. No reservations but seating was fast, even on a Saturday at 1pm. They have tables indoors and outdoors. Overall, worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood, but I would not make a special trip, and skip the drinks. Dinging half a star bc the sparkling wine was warm and flat, and food took forever. The food was good though, so that redeemed a star.

One of our favorite spots in the area and close to the beach. There’s almost always a wait, so plan accordingly. The service was excellent and attentive. We had to try the lemon ricotta pancakes, and they were incredibly fluffy, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. Pro tip: add blueberries, they take it to the next level. We ordered the freshly squeezed orange juice, which was refreshing and surprisingly flavorful and a mimosa which was equally good. The veggie omelet was fresh, and flavorful. The only downside was that the bathrooms weren’t very well maintained.
