The Cottage Encinitas 127 North El Camino Real, Encinitas, CA 92024

"First time here, great menu! So good, good did not take long to come and was very tasty. Highly recommend!"

"I went to brunch here with a friend around 11am, when we arrived there was no wait. It was almost full but we were seated right away. The food was good, I got the Monterey Scramble."

"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."

"We were seated after 15 minutes. We ordered Eggs La Jolla which is one of the benedicts with balsamic mushroom, spinach and roasted tomato. Also ordered the Morning Glory Sandwich which had an egg, bacon, gouda, tomato, onion and arugula. It was a smaller sandwich especially for the price. I also ordered a coffee drink, it just took super long for it to come out and was 10 minutes after all the other drinks came out. The kitchen seemed to be super slow our food came out over 40 minutes from ordering and the establishment was not packed at all. Our server brought a complementary Coffee Cake which was a nice gesture (we didn't mention anything about the time, she just gave it to us) but it was super dry. Overall the food was alright, small portions, backed up kitchen. I would not recommend or return to this location."

"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."
