Coffee Breakfast

Moms bring us into this world, so let's bring them to a beautiful brunch as the perfect way to say thank you. There are several great brunch selections in La Jolla, Ca this Mother’s Day, so check them out and see which one suits her taste best (literally).

Is mom fond of fondue? Have a luxurious meal of creamy artisan cheese pots and decadent chocolate fondue at The Melting Pot near La Jolla’s UTC. It makes for a fun, interactive experience because although the eating is wonderful, half the fun is in the dipping and twirling of fondue!

Let her truly personalize her dining experience by bringing her to a buffet with a wide range of food options. The Shores Restaurant at the La Jolla Shores Hotel is proud to offer a variety of pastries like almond scones and appetizers like ginger tangerine glazed chicken salad and bay scallop fusilli pasta salad. Look across the sands of La Jolla Shores as you enjoy the main courses like macadamia crusted butterfish and cardamom clove glazed ham.

Does she revel in desserts like butterscotch banana cream pie, triple layer chocolate cake and peach vanilla spiced bread pudding? If so, you can make your reservation now at this link.

Is mom an ocean lover? This spot is about as close to the water as you can get. Watch the waves of the Pacific lap while selecting from a wildly decadent buffet. Choose from delectable dishes like five mushroom truffle tort, maltese orange ginger coated wild prawns, country meadow rack of lamb and Maine lobster tail. Dessert-wise, whether you’re with folks that prefer fruity (Carlsbad strawberry and peach cobbler), chocolatey (organic Cordillera chocolate bar crunch) or gluten-free (three layer GF toffee dacquoise), everyone will find something to their liking.

Important note: Because this brunch is offered from 11 am to 7 pm, you can get the full brunch experience in the evening even if you already have morning plans! Make reservations on their website.

With a set menu at per person and view of La Jolla Cove, this place is a great, carefree way to treat mom. Start off with drinks, perhaps unlimited coffee and your included single premium drink like a mimosa or other “brocktail”. The entrees range from the classic breakfast options to more savory lunch favorites, so you know mom will find something she’ll enjoy. Make sure to make your reservations ahead of time at the Brockton Villa website.
