San Diego Mom - Carmel Valley/Del Mar

I’ve known about Beach Grass Cafe for awhile, and honestly thought of it as a more expensive brunch and "date night" choice so I hadn’t been there in some time though I did enjoy the food when I’d went.

When Sue and I met this past month though, while hunting for our next breakfast spot in our continuing quest for the best breakfast spots in town - the breakfast menu looked too good to pass up.

Choices like the Rissoto Breakfast Brule with Creamy Arborio rice, scented with orange and burnt sugar crust should not be missed. I tried their breakfast pizza and was not dissapointed.  Their coffee is a local roasted brand and its yummy.  

 

 

 

They have two locations - one in Solana Beach on the 101 and another now in Encinitas.  Here’s a link to the breakfast menu: http://www.beachgrasscafe.signonsandiego.com/3.html 

 

A continuation in our quest for the best breakfast spots, my friend Sue and I met this month at Richard Walker’s downtown and while we had to wait in the line a few minutes, we were rewarded with yummy food, a great casual yet elegant spot in the heart of a fun neighborhood downtown.

The nice surprise for me, was reading the menu and instantly noting the familiar dutch and german pancake from a childhood favorite of mine in Chicago Walker Brothers.  Turns out to be related ownership and no question the quality and attention to flavor is consistent.

 

 

The spot is small, cozy, service is excellent and we had a great time.  Highly recommend this spot. 

 

 

Need a great meeting place on a week-day morning?  This spot was ideal and offered a wonderful breakfast.  Parking was ample at 9:30 on the street nearby, the food was beautifully presented and more importantly delicious and the location quiet and perfect for conversation. 

I’d come back here in a heartbeat.  Check out the photo of our food, buckwheat flour crepes, wonderful hearty choices as well as dessert choices.
