"Tucked between storefronts, a long hallway leads to the cozy, covered patio of this La Jolla café, where chef Martin Hall transforms organic vegetables into seasonal soups and sandwiches. Standout dishes range from the popular Bombay burger to cashew cream-topped Cinnabon pancakes. Even the side salad accompanying most meals is boldly crafted, featuring dressed cabbage, delicate pea tendrils, and a scattering of roasted fennel, sesame, and sunflower seeds." - Kelly Bone
