The Cottage

The Cottage has really good food and coffee drinks, whether you go for breakfast or lunch. My favorite is the Milanese sandwich, which is always cooked perfectly and has a nice crisp to it. The only constructive feedback I would have: change up the menu from time to time. Yes, the food is good, but could there be more seasonal options? Just my $.02

Had breakfast here this morning. I ordered the eggs Benedict and my wife ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. I thought the Benedict was a bit simple, I expected a bit more. My wife's dish was nice. Delicious pancakes. I've heard great things of this spot.I paid 5.25$ for a cup of black coffee. That did not sit well with me.

Food: A1 still. No matter the dish, it did not disappoint. Drinks: still amazing. Service: just super kind and accommodatingAmbiance: we sat outside and enjoyed the breeze. Interior was nice but of course the view isn't as great as the one in La Jolla since it's in a plaza

Three of us came for lunch around 1PM on a Sunday and there was plenty of seating both outside and inside. We chose to sit inside for a cooler temp setting and sat in the booth. The staff was very attentive and gave an awesome run down of the expansive brunch/lunch menu. We went with a Braised Beef Hash, California Omelette, and a Veggie Frittata. Each plate came with an awesome scone with blueberry jam which was a nice delicious dessert surprise. The portions were great and we all enjoyed our others.

Came here for my second time today, and I was just as pleased as my first experience here! Food was delicious. They have large portions, and a wide variety of food items. The service was great too, didn't have to wait too long for our food to come out, and the servers made sure we were happy. The interior is so cute too! The restaurant has such happy vibes. Up next, I'll be trying the cottage for lunch!

This cute little cottage café is perfect for breakfast brunch or lunch. We had a little bit of both . I started off with a delicious watermelon Mojito made with Soju. " very refreshing" They actually offer four or five different cocktails made with Soju . We had a very robust plate of scrambled eggs with grilled mushrooms and sausage, potatoes and a shortbread scone with fresh strawberry jam. I had a grilled sourdough tuna melt . With fresh fruit on the side . Everything was so yummy.They have House made granola which I just had to purchase . Our waitress was just the sweetest ever I believe she also made my cocktail and muddled in the fresh mint into my Mojito. She really knows her stuff . This particular location is located in a strip mall, but when you are inside, you really do not feel this way. It's a large restaurant with plenty of great seating on the inside as well as the outside. We chose to be on the inside away from traffic.. Entertaining music , just loud enough where you can still have a conversation.

Came here for a meeting. I only tried the coffee(lavender latte) which was really good!! The breakfast menu looked good. I would definitely come back to try the food.

I ordered the leg of lamb sandwich today. To say it was horrible would be understatement. There were three things that made this sandwich such a colossal disappointment. There was barely any meat on it at all. Each piece was shaved "potato chip" thin and didn't even cover half of the sandwich. The meat itself was well done.... Something that should never be done to leg of lamb. The final issue is the price. I actually paid $20 for this disaster once you factor in the tax. To those who make the big league decisions at The Cottage.... I say learn how not to murder your meat, and give people a fair amount for what you're charging.

Came here with a group of 6 on a Sunday for lunch. First time at their Encinitas location after loving the La Jolla location for a long time. Food items are the same and we asked if they would do a split benedict since they did at the La Jolla and they were able to so that was nice. Was more of a fan of the Pork Belly Benedict over the La Jolla Benedict. The Morning Glory Sandwich was ok; nothing crazy but definitely good amount of food. Coffee cake was awesome and make sure you have the jam with it.Was seated right away despite a pretty busy lunchtime. Service was solid but they took a bit to replace our bottles of water towards the end.Inside was nice and bright. Got seated towards the back so didn't have a nice view of the restaurant though.Overall, solid brunch spot and would come back again for the Pork Belly Benedict and try more items on the menu!

The club sandwich was sooo good and our waitress Mikayla was so sweet and gave us great suggestions Will be back
