Dish Focus On:
Carne Asada Eggs Benedicts - special for the day. On English Muffin with Poached Eggs & House Made Hollandaise Sauce
Tender slices of carne asada, fresh avocado, and perfectly poached eggs, all topped with a creamy hollandaise sauce. Superb breakfast combo! Cottage potatoes seasoned and cooked nicely.
Cottage Oatmeal Pancakes - Light & Fluffy with Whole Wheat Flour & Oats, with strawberries and bananas
Soft and fluffy pancakes. Added the bananas and strawberries to the dish. Some of the strawberries were bruised on the side and they weren't the sweetest, but I guess it's not strawberry season? Fun plating with a berry compote swirl on the side. Served with butter and syrup.
Stuffed French Toast - Our Country Style French Toast stuffed with Strawberry Compote & Marscarpone Cheese
Gigantic mounds of stuffed french toast. Thin layer of citrus marmalade (I think?) with bits of orange rind spread inside folded toast. Not a huge fan of oranges, so this wasn't my favorite dish, but my eating buddies sure loved it!
Omelettes - Various types, with Cottage Potatoes and English muffin
Didn't taste this one personally, but looks great! Yummmy filling is hidden below the fluffy layer of egg.
Yummmy Factor: 4/5
Yummmy Rambles: “The Cottage” is a beautifully remodeled historic building from the early 1900s. Gorgeous location close to the beaches. Popular place for breakfast. There may even be samples of freshly baked goodies in the waiting area outside. I had 2 pieces of their delicious coffee cake! Outdoor seating is nice, especially on warm sunny mornings. Opens at 7:30 am daily. Unfortunately, they do not take reservations, so come early! Supposedly known for their homemade granola – didn’t get to taste it this time, but I look forward to it in the future. Can't wait to try their lunch and dinner as well.
Only a short drive to the spectacular La Jolla shores, where you can enjoy adorable (and slightly stinky) seals!
