Living Room Coffeehouse

Frommer's Review

Grab a patio table in the courtyard of this lovely old house and enjoy the people-watching; indoors you'll find faux antiques, appropriately weathered for a lived-in feel. The pastries are fine, but it's the light meals -- breakfast, lunch, and dinner -- that make it a good choice. Breakfast includes omelets and waffles, while the rest of the fare is posted on a chalkboard menu; try the turkey lasagna, chicken Dijon, tuna melt, or one of several hearty entree salads. Plus you'll find exotic iced and hot coffee drinks, like the Emerald Isle (espresso, white chocolate, and mint). Other locations are in La Jolla at 1010 Prospect St. (tel. 858/459-1187); in the Sports Arena area at 1018 Rosecrans (tel. 619/222-6852); and in the College area near San Diego State University, at 5900 El Cajon Blvd. (tel. 619/286-8434).
