I will start by saying I am not the most unbiased reviewer. I am a long-time Pannikin goer and love the environment there, as much as the food. It is a great place to go to sit and enjoy life. The baked goods are to die for. I am vegetarian and try to eat relatively low-fat, as well. My favorite meal at Pannkin is a combo with the Insalada Riviera (a delicious pesto dressing is served on the side) and lentil soup (soups vary from day to day), with corn tortillas in place of the bread that typically accompanies the combo. The Indo Noir is my favorite espresso sold at Pannikin (to brew at home), and the green coconut ginger is my favorite tea.

Cute, creatively-decorated breakfast joint in Escondido. Seems to be a favorite with locals. I got the popular Greek eggs (scrambled eggs with feta, tomato, basil) on the waitress’s recommendation, which would’ve tasted better if it was piping hot rather than luke warm. Also, the bagel was hard – I don’t know if it was toasted too long or what. Breakfast about $5-10.
