Yummy blueberry lemon curd pancakes. Tumeric ginger latte was so-so. Will try a savory dish next time, smells really good.

Went here to celebrate the day before my wedding and it was a great brunch for a special occasion. The atmosphere is lovely, the service is really friendly, and everything we ordered was delicious. The seasonal pickles were especially good, and the rose mimosa is a must.
No wait on a Wednesday around 11:30, and it wasn't super busy so we got to leisurely enjoy our meal. Bathrooms were clean and pretty, and the shop inside has lots of treats and items to bring home.

We went on a very hot weekend and had to sit outside because there was a private party inside. The wait to get seated wasn't very long despite how crowded it already was - we ended up sitting near the entrance on the top patio area. There was no fans to cool down the guests or little table fans to keep flies away.
It took about 15 minutes after being seated before anyone offered us water. I was so confused that I went inside to see if I was supposed to order food in there. When I went to the counter, a rather curt young woman acted like I had committed a crime by asking her if I was supposed to order inside because we had been waiting almost 15 minutes. She wasn't helpful.
When we finally did get a waiter, he was actually very kind and nice. We placed our order, coffee, basic egg breakfast, lemon pancake, and a scotch egg. Food arrived shortly afterwards and it was a little disappointing.
The pancake was very sweet, overly sweet for my taste, and soggy in the middle. It was absolutely beautiful in the presentation however. The basic breakfast was ok, the potatoes were the star of that dish. The scotch egg seemed promising but had very little flavor.
Everything was presented beautifully, but the flavor just wasn't there for me.
Overall, this place seems to be more geared towards Instagram views/posts rather than good food and service.

Crispy Emerald Isle Waffle is tasty with peach syrup and whipped cream. Cappuccino is solid

The wife and I were looking for a place for breakfast. We walked a few blocks from our hotel and decided to try it out. The atmosphere seemed vibrant and yet relaxed. The food was absolutely amazing and the ser ice impeccable! If you plan on visiting La Jolla, this is an absolute must for either breakfast or brunch. A week later, I'm still thinking of that place.

We ordered the lobster Benedict, smothered and covered skillet, and Blueberry love pancakes. All looked amazing and weren't just pretty but delicious! I especially love the potatoes since they are thinly sliced and baked in butter ? the chicken gravy (pictured at the bottom) was light and flavorful ^_^

We had an absolutely delicious meal! All four of us were very impressed with everything. The mushroom truffle toast with potatoes was incredible, the lobster Benedict was rich & amazing, the crispy clucker Benedict was yummy and the roast chicken salad was great. Highly recommend. Must have the potatoes.
Vegetarian options: More veg options now!

Looks cute for social media, but that’s about it. Cutlery is plastic and cheap, the food is bellow average and was cold after a few bites. Service was good. Spent $55 for two breakfast entrees, eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy. Biscuits and gravy were cold and flavorless.

Anything I say here is not a reflection on the workers because they were genuinely nice people and very accommodating, they moved us to a different seat when a spot opened up with more space and the interactions were nice. The atmosphere of this place is stuck 10 years in the past and trying too hard to be trendy in a way that hasn’t been the style in a while (the pancakes have an option to make them unicorn pancakes??). The food was not good enough to justify the steep prices, the pancakes are so overly sweet and soggy with toppings you practically have to order something savory to go with it, and then their potatoes came so salty and oily they were inedible. The food is trying to look good and instagramable but they don’t put that effort into making it taste good. Overall I would not come back here, and with all the good things I’ve heard about this place over the years I thought it would be a new good place.
