I’ve been coming to The Cottage La Jolla for about 2 years now, and it never disappoints! The breakfast is always amazing — fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are always friendly. Definitely one of my favorite spots in La Jolla!

Next level brunch. The owner was very nice. The server made us feel.at home. The tangerine juice was clearly fresh. The food was insanely good. Best Rueben I've ever had. Salivating just thinking about it. The French toast was awesome. Great flavors and not too sweet. The atmosphere was bright and happy. Loved it.
