The first thing I noticed about the Cottage was that it was very busy. Many people were lounging around outside. Me and my family weren’t sure whether to eat here or not, but we ended up waiting. Even though there were a lot of people, the wait actually didn’t take that long.

The Cottage is cool because, well, it is a house turned into a restaurant. You can eat outside or inside and it has large windows for people eating inside. As for the food, they offer a tasty sounding selection of food. I got an omelette, which was good, especially the bites with brie, but it didn’t impress me. I had some stuffed french toast though, and I thought it was excellent and comes with three huge slices. I would definitely come here again because they have good brunch.

in general, i’m a huge fan of brunch places, but this one, situated on a lovely corner in la jolla stands out with good ambience, friendly service, and of course, good food (some interesting twists on classic brunch fare).

Went here for breakfast on July 4th. There were tons of people waiting around outside, but we only waited 5 minutes for a table; I guess they have rapid table turnover. The space is also nice, in a house.

I had the special, eggs benedict with crab. Good, and good ingredients, but both the crab and the hollandaise sauce were oddly bland. The omelette was apparently the same way.

I would go again, but order differently. We enjoyed our breakfast, but other items on the menu looked better.
