Delicious! This was my second time here . I had ordered the maple chicken lettuce wrapped with egg whites with a side of house salad. Others in the party ordered the steak/eggs and Monterey omelet with vanilla bean yogurt. We have enjoyed our food. Service was excellent and Ambiance was like an outdoor patio setting. Benches were a little high for my guests. I also ordered a Kyoto ice coffee. It was ok. I truly enjoyed the food and will come again.

Joanie Stahl's Field Notes

We LOVE this restaurant! The location is in the center of downtown and has an old school local vibe. We were stoked to see they have a dogs menu that was pretty impressive. They literally have excellent food choices with fresh eggs, breakfast meats for them and decently priced. We've brought our pug Jojo there a few times and they brought her food out in a nice bowl. We love how the place is full of locals and their dogs, families and people fresh off the train across the way. Its predominantly an outdoor seated scenario. There's definitely indoor seating, but outside is the best. The food is so excellent and has refreshing choices that break the norm. I'm having the Hawaiian pancakes with guava syrup next time. 🌺 The whole atmosphere is alive. If you don't want to stay and eat you can pop into the front part of the restaurant which caters to those who only want coffee and fresh bakery. There's breakfast items on that menu like breakfast burritos to go and other good choices. Its the best restaurant ever. 🌴🥥🏄‍♂️🌊🐾🐾

This is my furry baby’s absolute favorite spot. When we get close to the restaurant, she can barely contain her excitement, whining eagerly as we approach. I genuinely adore their thoughtfully crafted menu for dogs, filled with delicious I'm options that cater to our four-legged friends 🐕🐶🐕 🐾. I order various enticing meals each time we visit to savor everything they offer. I like to taste something new.

We only bought coffees to enjoy on the sun-filled patio but after our delightful experience, we will be back for a meal soon. Fantastic service, reasonable prices, and a nice local, Shorehouse is our new Carlsbad spot!

Just ate here on a Wednesday morning, arriving at 8:30, and missed any crowd of people. The outdoor patio was a great place to eat on a comfortable April morning. Ambiance was very beachy and very appropriate for this restaurant's location. Our server gave us a warm greeting, provided efficient and knowledgeable assistance in placing orders, and refilled our coffee's at the right times. I saw quite a few favorable reviews online and thought I didn't need to leave a review, but as a lacto-ovo vegetarian I thought about mention for my options could be helpful. I had the Roasted Vegetables and Pistachio Benedict. There were also omelets that I could have, but the Benedict sounded great, and it was! The veggies of the omelet were roasted with a nice texture, and flavored nicely. The pistachio pesto had just enough flavor to add to the dish but not overpower the other flavors. The eggs were were done nicely with a firmly cooked outside, and warm and runny inside just as someone who likes benedict's would want it. The thinly sliced avocado were a great final topping adding that fresh final flavor. If you're a lacto-ovo vegetarian (or for anyone!) this is a great breakfast spot!

A very pleasant brunch eatery next to the railroad tracks. The food was decent, but our server was wonderful and attentive. The outdoor seating area was very relaxing and comfortable. The chicken pesto sandwich was pretty good and the thin cut fries was good as well. We also tried its appetizer of heirloom tomatoes, avocado, Burrata cheese and toast that was pretty good, but wasn’t memorable. It does close at 2:30 P.M. so plan ahead.

My food was pretty good, the bacon, eggs and béarnaise go very well together. The service was really slow. I waited for 10 mins till the hostess decided to seat us.

A local gathering spot for simple California breakfast options. Great people watching and al fresco dining. The food is decent, but not exceptional. There was a solid basic breakfast and a tasty California veggie omelette, but the disappointing breakfast "grilled cheese" had minimal cheese, just a sprinkle of partially melted grated cheddar. No melty cheese pull that the name insinuates. As a grilled cheese lover the dish needs to deliver on the promise. But overall it's an acceptable breakfast spot for an easy, breezy start to your morning.

While the location and vibe were excellent, our visit was a bit of a letdown. The food looked delicious but tasted fairly average, and the service was slow and inattentive, especially since the restaurant wasn't busy yet. We even saw some dishes sitting in the kitchen window for a long time. The one bright spot was that the restaurant is dog-friendly and even has a special menu for pups.

This isn’t a negative review—just an honest one. We ordered three items: the bell pepper soup was okay, the chicken sandwich didn’t hit the mark, but the mushroom omelette was actually quite good. Service was very slow. It was a busy weekend brunch, so the delay was understandable, but it did feel like they could’ve used more staff to handle the rush. That said, our waiter was incredibly sweet, which made it hard to be upset about the wait. Personally, I don’t see myself coming back, but I wouldn’t discourage others from trying it. It has potential, just not the best fit for me.

Garbage service, took forever for everything to get to us, the food is bland with literally no seasoning whatsoever, they don't even use salt. The chai latte was good (you know, 10 minutes after I ordered it...), but everything else was tasteless and pricey. I would not recommend to anyone period

Took my husband here for his birthday after having an exceptional experience at the La Jolla restaurant. We should have known when we had to wait 5 minutes for someone to greet us just to be seated. After getting to a table, it was another 7 minutes for someone to get to our table. It took about 15 minutes to get our food. After two bites, my meal was sent back because it was cold. I will say that our meal was comped so management acknowledged the problem. We will make the trip to La Jolla in the future!
