“Ordered the bagel with the spicy spread , mocha & cinnamon roll( from the French bakery )- outstanding. From the east coast, I was a bit shocked by how good the squaw bagel was. The base was not soggy , perfect toast and crunch. I’m back and still thinking about it.“
“We got the fish sandwich and it was incredible - truth be told it was so good that we have been trying to recreate it at home and nothing comes close! You have to head out to Cafe Vahik to try the real thing! We also got an omelette which was also really good. Cafe Vahik is a lovely place to get your breakfast or lunch. They have plenty of healthy options, large portions, and good food. It's more of a casual dining place where you order and pick up your meal at the counter and pay as you leave. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Lovely place that we would love to go back to!“
“Came here to do work and have a drink and the atmosphere is perfect for a beautiful day in lj to do laptop work.Great coffee and amazing matcha on tap which I was surprised how good it was! I also had their soyrizo bowl and it was pretty tasty! They have lots of breakfast and lunch options, more than any coffee shop I've been to“
“This place is wonderful!! Great neighborhood friendly vibe and fun and relaxing morning atmosphere. Lisa is an absolute delight and we came back the second day just to see her and another delicious breakfast! (Not to mention the store inside that also has everything a person needs!)“
“Went on a Tuesday around 12noon and it was moderately busy. So I know a weekend would be poppin. We still got a table right away. Servers/hosts and our waitress were all friendly. Food is definitely post worthy with all the colors and glitter. For mimosas, just order the flight, try em all! The pancakes were good but personally, the gobs of jam & blueberries & cream in top was slightly overwhelming. Still very good dont get me wrong, but if you enjoy a classic hot fluffy pancake, order one w less on top. I ordered at random since I was with a friend I had not seen in years and we kept yapping. My gf suggested this place, and has been here twice. Will definitely be coming back.“
“Nestled within the quaint charm of La Jolla, Blue Whale offers a delightful escape with its classic French toast. Made with thick-cut brioche and adorned with a delectable raspberry and vanilla cream, alongside a tangy raspberry compote and a sprinkle of powdered sugar, each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors. What truly enhances the experience is the warm service, reminiscent of the friendly vibes of a seaside community. For a tranquil breakfast experience that satisfies both the palate and the soul, Blue Whale is the perfect destination.“
“The atmosphere at Elixir was beautiful and relaxing. I indulged in a delightful cacao drink, along with a gluten-free chocolate bar and caramel donut. The owner was exceptionally attentive and friendly. I am truly grateful for the wonderful experience, and my friends were equally impressed.“

“We were on a trip to San Diego and visited La Jolla for breakfast. Blown away by the food and service here. Incredibly friendly staff. The coffee was absolutely delightful. The Mexican mocha in particular was delicious. Food was fantastic. We had the acai bowl and the molletes. Everything was beautifully plated. Highly recommend anyone else check this place out.“
“Carlos, the owner, was our host and was playing some very cool/hip music which we loved. He introduced himself and told us all about this new venture for him and his partner and wife. The smoothie I got was delicious (mango) and so was the one my wife got (coconut). Make sure to stop by and have some samples and then pick the one you like best. Que Dios Los bendiga! And why not…it’s JC….“
“Incredible and affordable breakfast spot with only limited outdoor seating. Very cute and country theme. I had a bagel sandwich which was great. They have a decent but small coffee bar for creamer, chocolate, or cinnamon. Good and fresh coffee. Scones looked incredible but u didn't buy any. Next time!!“
“Tasty coffee. Not expensive! This coffee shop is inside the Jcc, and because of the crazy world we live in, you need to be able to pass through security and get in the building. But if you are here for a performance or event, or are a JCC member, The coffee is quite tasty. And there is a great patio outside.“
“This place is a gem. My wife and I absolutely loved our sandwiches. It has a cute vibe that is very inviting. They are very helpful if you arent sure what you want. They have won a lot of awards for their food and service and it is well deserved.Update: right after I left this review the owner came by and gave us some free cheese, including one that is no longer being made. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Can't say enough good things about this place.“
