    TOAST Cafe - Ricotta & Saffron Apricot Toast

    Hidden gem alert! TOAST is fabulous. FYI: TOAST shares a parking lot with Ken Sushi Workshop (Ken's…read morewas packed on a Friday at 12PM and they couldn't seat me for 20+ mins; being a solo diner didn't matter, so be sure to make a ressie at Ken's if you want to eat there!). But I digress, back to the parking. Be prepared to look for a spot to park, but atleast parking is ample and shaded. I left TOAST before 2PM and people were still driving into the parking lot! I walked to TOAST a little reluctant, seeing how it's inside a corporate building. Once inside, I followed the signs. The interior is a little sterile but it is a much larger and pleasant space than I expected. No music. It is very quiet inside. There is a pretty outside patio in the back that caught my eye but I chose to sit inside. The booth seating is very comfortable. This place is a solid choice if you're single btw. You can sit pretty much anywhere with your laptop or if you just want to read a book and enjoy some fine ass coffee in peace, you can! I love coffee and espresso, and it turns out their Mexican Mocha is quite the fabulous diva. The mocha cup is a glorious, oversized mug with the most delicious sprinkled cinnamon on top. It was hot, rich and delicious. I missed breakfast (it's over by 11:30AM, so I'll return to try their French Toast and their Filipino Breakfast burrito). I decided to get the "Ain't Your Classic Burger" cheeseburger, which is on the Sandwich side of their menu. That Chuck brisket patty, you guys... ooh, it's to DIE for. Tender. Moist. Gigantic. A whopper size of a burger with the perfect amount of melted cheese, pickles, spring lettuce (yay! No sad iceberg crap), chopped fresh red onions (my favorite), brown butter dijonaise (ugh so good), and a secret sauce that was actually worth being called a secret. I didn't add extras, but you can actually add an egg or bacon to your burger. High Cholesterol lovers can unite and rejoice here lol. it's worth noting how fresh all of the ingredients tasted. The brioche bun was a nice choice. So was the crisp spring mix lettuce, the juicy tomato and crunchy red onion bits. I ordered a side of fries and tbh, they were average. They reminded me of an attempt on McD's french fries. They did come in a cute stainless steel fry basket and it does elevate the plate presentation, but I might skip those next time. It was the cheeseburger that had my full attention here... well, and the delightful mocha. No pictures this time. I devoured everything. I think this is a solid cafe on this side of town. It's hard to find zero wait times, available and comfortable seating, fresh food, solid portions, and continual peacefulness in a morning/early lunch establishment. I'll be back soon.

    Based on my experience, I'm going to have to disagree with my fellow yelpers on this one....this…read morewas a disappointment for me. It's a spacious cafe with plenty of tables both inside and outside on the patio. It would be nice to come here for a meeting or study but they close early at 2pm so even for a late lunch I felt a bit rushed to get out. The menu online shows both breakfast and lunch items but they are only served during their respective meal hours. Service was friendly and professional. Although there is free parking, it is in a shared lot with several offices and other restaurants and it was hard to find parking. Now the food, I felt it was really overpriced and not tasty. My salad was an appetizer size, super salty to the point it was off putting, and it had mint in it which made the taste weird for an Asian salad. With chicken added, the small salad was $17. I also got a soda which was half ice so I felt ripped off of another $3. I was still hungry after paying $21 for my meal. My colleague also felt her farmer's market salad was bland and not filling. Carmel Valley has a lot of food options. I don't know if I'd come back or recommend this place for others.

    RAISED BY WOLVES @ UTC LA JOLLA…read more Raised by Wolves is located inside UTC La Jolla, tucked away in the very back of the mall near the Din Tai Fung area. I would definitely recommend parking around Corner Bakery or near 24 Hour Fitness for the closest way in. This was my very first time going to Raised by Wolves. I made a reservation on OpenTable, and if you are reading this right now, I highly recommend booking one. When we got there, the wait was two hours for people without a reservation. I booked for 9 PM on a Saturday night with my friends after dinner. We actually arrived at UTC earlier than expected, so we let the host know and they let us in about 20 minutes early. As for parking, they do not validate here. Parking is free for the first hour and then two dollars per hour after that, so just be aware that you may end up paying for parking when you visit this bar. It is set up like a speakeasy, which is really cool. You get to see where the actual bar is hidden. We ended up ordering a bunch of cocktails and the drinks were super great. I really loved the vibe overall. It was lively and chatty, and the staff was super friendly. The ambiance is very dark and classy. Keep in mind they do not serve food here. It is purely drinks only. Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping by.

    LOVE THIS SPEAKEASY…read more Shoutout Taylor and Lexi for the incredible service. The ambiance and drinks are unmatched.

    Please don't ever change a thing about this place.... The interior is beyond significantly…read morenostalgic. It captures something that no longer exists in today's monochrome, boring and dull, cheap world. Pablo and Francisco and staff are all gems. Big shoutout to both of them. I feel like they've watched me grow up. Please do not renovate the interior!!!!!!

    Tucked within Nordstrom, the Marketplace Cafe offers a welcome respite from the rigors of retail,…read moreand a lunch that comfortably exceeds what one might expect from a department-store dining room. I opted for the personal cheese pizza, a thin, hand-stretched crust with a pleasantly blistered, lightly charred rim. The mozzarella was generously applied and well browned, with a modest scattering of oregano lending some aromatic depth. It was not revelatory, but it was honest and well executed, the sort of pizza that knows precisely what it is. My wife chose the Roma Tomato Basil Soup, a velvety, deep-orange purée with a gentle sweetness and a faint herbal finish. It arrived with a generous stack of golden garlic toasts, crisp and buttery, ideal for dipping. At $7.25, it is easily among the more gratifying values on the menu. The setting is calm and polished, with warm wood, plush booths, and attentive service that never hovers. Neither dish quite reached the unforgettable, which keeps this a well-earned four stars rather than five. Still, for a refined and unhurried midday repast, the Marketplace Cafe acquits itself admirably. Until our paths cross again, I remain, with compliments to the kitchen, Captain 619
