“FABULOUS SERVICE ! My wife and I moved house to La Jolla recently after 3 years up in Orange County. Trust me there are only a couple of brekkie places in California that we rate as good as Beach Plum Kitchen. We first discovered this terrific brekkie spot about 7 years ago and have been here countless times since up until covid wreaked havoc on many eateries particularly the ones with mostly indoor dining. So after 3 years away we decided to come here for breakfast early on Sunday...they open at 7.30am. Remembering how busy it can get early on Sunday mornings I put us on the WAITLIST via Yelp. We parked out front at 7.35am and walked straight inside to be greeted by Ruben the manager who showed us to a table booth. Surprisingly we were among the first to arrive. No familiar faces in sight....Grant and Jenny the co-owners come in later we were told. A server named Hannah came to help us. FIRST UP ! We asked for 2 Lattes with 2% milk & hazelnut syrup but please not those huge cups we remember from years ago. Hannah said they could be made in much smaller cappuccino cups....yes thank you. The very first time we had breakfast here I ordered Machaca Hash with Hard Poached Eggs, Angel Biscuit & Strawberry Basil Jam and my wife chose Carnitas with Scrambled Eggs. THINGS HAVE CHANGED ! No more house braised Machaca on the menu and it's now Carnitas Hash instead of Carnitas with Scrambled Eggs. Of course my wife ordered the Carnitas Hash and I eventually decided on Traditional Eggs Benedict..hard poached eggs with Breakfast Potatoes. I also asked for a side of Fresh Fruit Medley and a tall fresh squeezed orange juice. Our lattes in the smaller cappuccino cups were brought out by Arista the sweet barista and tasted as good as the old days. Not long after our breakfast dishes arrived courtesy of server Jenessa....my eggs were hard poached to my satisfaction. My fresh squeezed orange juice tasted very good...Hannah did explain it is brought in. My wife liked her Carnitas Hash but nowhere near as much as when it was Carnitas with Scrambled Eggs....this was a lower budget presentation. The fresh fruit medley tasted okay. Things looked a little busier when it was time leave....that was good to see. THIS IS STILL A VERY GOOD BREKKIE SPOT !“

“Reliably delicious pancakes and breakfast food! We came on a Friday night craving breakfast food and IHOP did not disappoint. My husband generally doesn’t care for pancakes but we stopped by an ihop recently and got pancakes and now he’s obsessed with ihop pancakes! We got the buttermilk pancakes with chocolate chips this time and I really like their spicy poblano egg benedict if you like spicy, their eggs have been perfectly poached the last two times I got it. Prices are much more reasonable compared to other diner type restaurants nowadays.

I haven’t gone to an ihop for almost a decade simply because I forgot about it. But now we will certainly be back regularly! Our waitress was so nice too!

TLDR: delicious pancakes and breakfast food (for dinner), fair prices, quick friendly service!“

“Skip the chain and give this hometown mom and pop cafe a try!! The flavors and portions were great! The homestyle potatoes were fresh and the pancakes fluffy!

Only critique would be ti clean the booth windows bc they were very dirty and smudged with finger prints.

But overall a great family diner with fresh food and polite service.“

“I meet with a group every Wednesday morning for breakfast. That makes the atmosphere perfect along with the outstanding service we get from our waitress! The food is a solid four! It is always fresh and tasty, but you can tell it is very commercialized for the general public. Nothing fancy or above the ordinary, just good breakfast. If you eat off the budget menu, it is extremely affordable! Pretty close to what it would cost you if you purchased the product and cooked it at home yourself! Overall...at 6:30 am on Wednesday morning, it is well worth your time and money, if you are selective on your food choice and bring a bright attitude knowing and taking it for what it is!“
