What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"I grew up in La Jolla, so I have been coming to this street for decades to dine and can honestly say Shorehouse Kitchen is one of my favorites, in terms of breakfast. We stopped in this morning for brunch and had a wonderful meal. We were a party of four and arrived around 9:30 and did not have to wait at all for a table. Inside is quite large they have outdoor and indoor seating available and many different table size options. Our server was polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. Parking this area is pretty easy, we were able to find a free street spot very close to the front door. I started off my breakfast with a Salted Caramel Latte and honestly loved it. Salted caramel is one of my favorite flavors so I was expecting to like it and was happy to see it was as good as I hoped. With that theme going I decided to get the Salted Caramel Waffle and also really liked it. It was a thin waffle, not one of the fluffy Belgian types, but more so the type at a Waffle House. My waiter advised me that it wasn’t very much in terms of size so I ordered a side of scrambled eggs and cheese and thought it was a nice addition and felt it was a good size for one person. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and I plan to be back again in the near future."
"While Le jolle is not necessarily the place to go for food, this is the exception. We ended up getting a bloody marry and veggie benidict and both were great. In fact the bloody marry inspired us to start making them at home so we got the stuff for it right after. The benidict had a nice mix that even included a pistatio spread which worked well. The hash was probably the best hash I have had. A perfect ballance of crispy edges and tender insides. It all might be a bit pricy for breakfast but worth it. The atmosphere was nice but nothing crazy either. There was a decent amount of natural lighting and seating next to it which was nice. One of the small touches that I liked was the addition of a dog menu that they post on their front stand. The staff was friendly and had plenty of good recommendations. We lucked out on parking but It seems like normally pretty rough to find a spot. Overall a great place to grab breakfast."
"We visited this place because our local friends had recommended it. With its impressive Yelp and Google reviews, and a long line when we arrived, we made the right decision to come here. The service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed their famous Tahitian French toast, which was incredibly tasty that even our picky eater, who doesn’t usually like French toast, couldn’t resist asking for more. The salmon benedicts were also quite good, and the grilled cheese was a classic choice that couldn’t be wrong. However, I had high hopes for their Kyoto coffee, which supposedly features homemade macadamia nut milk. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. I couldn’t even finish a single sip because it was so watery and tasteless. Now, let’s talk about the parking situation. This neighborhood has no public parking, so you’re either fighting to find a spot or arriving super early. We arrived around 10 am on a Saturday and had to park about a mile away. It wasn’t a terrible distance, but it wasn’t ideal, especially when you’re hangry."
"Man do I love a little beach town Cafe. Food was delicious and came fast, hey now. I got the scrabbled eggs and potatoes and my partner got the Huevos Rancheros. I messed up I seriously should have gotten them as well. The Huevos Rancheros were dope, 10/10 world recommend."
"Visited July 8, 2025 - BREAKFAST My husband remembered this place from a visit years ago. He started it was a bit dated from when he originally visited. It happens. At least it was still open! He was pretty excited to bring us here! The initial sitting, which was indoors was a bit disappointing as we waited at least waited 5-10 min until someone came to greet us and take our drink order. However, upon observation I noticed one of our waitress was training another. But non of them clarified this. Anyway, after the initial negative, the rest of our breakfast service went smoothly. We had a basic breakfast: coffee, oj (fresh squeezed) pancakes, French toast, omelet with toast were all delicious and satisfying. Don’t miss eating here. You have the option of indoor or outdoor seating. The wait staff is friendly. Just make sure to get here early bc it seems to be a popular place!"
"Very nice service! the short rib breakfast was recommended by the waiter and it is the best one , everyone in my party loves it."
