The Cottage Encinitas

I had a hearty brunch at this place. Very tasty food. They roast their coffee. It smelled good.
Our server was efficient and accommodating.
Definitely come visit again.

A quaint place with great food and service. Their menu is decently wide spread yet, focused! Ample parking and minimal wait time are a big plus. Since this place is located towards the end of the strip mall, it took us couple of minutes to locate this place.

My wife had been to the La Jolla location and always raves about it. This was so cool that we were simply out and stumbled across this location. Here is my quick review:

Food: 5/5
We had to try the famous stuffed French Toast and it did not disappoint! So good on so many levels. Fresh strawberries sandwiches between soft fluffy custard French toast. With marscapone cheese and soft rich butter. It does not get much better than this. Comes with hot syrup but to be honest you don’t need it. (View pictures to see what this decadent dish looks like.)

Ambiance: 5/5
Very busy but still has that small cottage feel. There is plenty of seating and the decor is very modern but does not lose the feel of what you would expect for a small cafe/restaurant like this one.

Service: 5/5
We were seated super fast, drinks were constantly refilled, and napkins and any extras were brought immediately. Overall can’t complain.

Overall: 5/5
Great food, service, and a nice small home feel really takes this spot to the next level. If you are wanting a extremely great little place to try near the coast for brunch or to get simply great food give this place a try. You won’t regret it.

Great place for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. A little something for everyone. The coffee cake is a "got to try!" I had the zopes and horchata.
