"Beloved by La Jolla locals, the European-style cafe has been a favorite stop for casual lunches, picnic provisions, and take-home quiches for over three decades. Utilizing produce grown in its own organic garden in Julian, its menu includes pastries baked in-house as well as cookies, seasonal soups, and sandwiches built on fresh loaves of homemade bread. Expect casual counter-order service and homey wooden tables." - Candice Woo, Helen I. Hwang, Eater Staff
