We came here for breakfast. Cute little spot in Del Mar tucked inside their coastal neighborhood. The cafe seems to be a house converted into a cafe. It has a large patio for seating with large yellow umbrellas.
Food wise, we enjoyed a breakfast burrito which had avocado, bacon, potato and eggs with a side of fruit. We also had the avocado and edamame toast which had micro greens, tomato, pickled onions and feta on top of it. Overall, the food was good. I enjoyed my brown sugar cinnamon oat milk latte. It was not overly sweet. We will return to try more options.

Loved the patio, dog friendly! Quiet & warm with heaters.. my turkey croissant hit the spot
But I wouldn’t get the potatoes again. I’d get a side salad or fruit.

I ordered the Stratford Scramble which is scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado and your choice of toast and I had sourdough. I was surprised and disappointed the description didn’t say the eggs, potatoes, bacon and cheese are all cooked together and the avocado is on top or a photo showing the execution of this dish. The avocado was fresh and looked fantastic. I like to eat my protein first and that was a challenge. The bacon that was in my scramble was chewy and I spit out several pieces. It was hard to extract just the scrambled eggs from the mixture.
Very polite and friendly staff. They have several tables outside so you can enjoy the great weather while you eat. No parking lot, just street parking.

We came here for brunch on Saturday with my son. I had the veggie scramble and he had the croissant omelet. The food was delicious, but what truly stood out was the service. They were so attentive. As soon as my tea was finished, they came right over with a fresh one without me even asking. Thanks to Calia!
They always have fresh coffee ready too. The atmosphere is very cozy and warm, the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable. You definitely need to try this place. It really is a hidden gem.

We had terrible experience today here. We arrived at 1:30pm ordered 3 food and owner brought hot food in plastic boxes as you can see after 30 mins delay and expect us to eat in these plastic boxes while sitting. They did not mention anything about take out or inside dining but just brought our food like this. Did not offer anything else. Terrible experience.

Great morning place! We’re from out of town and love the 7am open for an early bite to eat before going about our day. Wonderful lattes and a hearty scramble platter!

Our family had breakfast on Monday, 1/5. We were very excited to go there, but when we arrived and tried to order food, the reception staff didn’t even say hello. One lady was chatting with her coworker and didn’t look at us at all—no smile, no acknowledgment.
The place itself is beautiful, but the staff showed no energy or sense of hospitality. It was disappointing.

Such a great spot in Del Mar for breakfast or lunch! We love impressing out of town guests with the charming atmosphere and it being so close to the ocean. You can never go wrong with the Stratford Scramble or the Turkey Club!

Adorable atmosphere! You order at the front and they bring food to your table, and it was efficient despite being busy. Such a good brunch spot!

My friend brought me here for lunch. Parking was a nightmare around Del Mar so plan accordingly. Luckily we went for an early lunch but it still took us almost half an hour driving around before we found an open parking spot a few blocks away.
There was a line to order about 10 people deep when we arrived at this cute restaurant in what was once an old home. Seating is all outside in the front patio. We had 4 people in our group and we had to wait a bit to find a table to accommodate our group so not an ideal place for groups larger than 4.
Food was ok. I just think the lack of parking, slow moving order line, and lack of seating really wasn’t worth the visit for the mediocre American fare.
