The Cottage on a Saturday

Boyfriend told me he wants a relaxing weekend because he's been working like mad for the past week. So this past Saturday, we slept in, got up leisurely, and decided to grab some brunch. Boyfriend told me he has never been to The Cottage in La Jolla, despite having lived in San Diego all of his life. I was appalled! I love The Cottage and couldn't believe he has never been there!! We decided that we need to go there right away!

We got there around 1PM and it was a full house. We were told the wait was 15 minutes, which was fine because they provided complementary coffee and coffee cake (YUM!). We got a corner table by the windows inside, which was a first for me since I've always sat outside. I love their decor inside because it was bright with vaulted ceiling and I love the fans!

Boyfriend and I both ordered a cappuccino (mine was of course soy due to my annoying intolerance to lactose >_<). I've been on a cappuccino kick lately, I love the foam and the sprinkle of cinnamon on top!

Their menu is amazing, I wanted to order everything! Unfortunately, boyfriend told me that was too much food, so I settled on the Fried Egg Sandwich. The sandwich includes lemon aioli, applewood bacon, gruyere, tomato, arugula, red onion, and 2 over-medium eggs smacked in between two pieces of perfectly toasted sourdough bread. 

Boyfriend shocked me by getting two different dishes! He said he was really hungry, but I think it was because he couldn't decide! He got the Eggs Benedict (his favorite) and the Classic French Toast. Both were very delicious!

I have never made eggs benedict before.....maybe I should try since it's boyfriend's favorite breakfast/brunch dish. I think we will definitely come back here very soon! What's your favorite place to go for brunch???
