The Cottage

Frommer's Review

La Jolla's best -- and friendliest -- breakfast is served at this turn-of-the-20th-century bungalow on a sunny village corner. The cottage is light and airy, but most diners opt for tables outside, where a charming white picket fence encloses the trellis-shaded brick patio. Omelets and egg dishes feature Mediterranean, Cal-Latino, and classic American touches; homemade granola is a favorite as well. (It's served here, but also sold in packages to take away.) The Cottage bakes its own muffins, rolls, and coffee cakes. While breakfast dishes are served all day, toward lunchtime the kitchen begins turning out freshly made, healthful soups, light meals, and sandwiches. Summer dinners (never heavy, always tasty) are a delight, particularly when you're seated before dark on a balmy seaside night. If you like what you taste, The Cottage has a cookbook available that includes many of its most popular recipes.
