Cafe of the Moment: The Menu

3784 Ingraham St

San Diego, CA 92109

www.themenurestaurant.com

The Menu in Pacific Beach has some of the best breakfast items in town! It’s the perfect place to spend time with family or catch up with friends over some blueberry pancakes and coffee.

The Menu’s mouth-watering dishes include omelettes, scrambles, pancakes, waffles and so much more! Our favorite item, though, has to be the daily special with banana pancakes and apple-wood smoked bacon. The menu also has great Mimosas and Bloody Marys – perfect for those days that you need more than just orange juice to quench your thirst!

Located just two blocks from Mission Bay on Ingraham Street, the next time you’re in the Pacific Beach area be sure to start your day at The Menu!

Restaurant of the Moment: Del Sushi

3251 Holiday Ct. Suite 206

La Jolla, CA 92037

www.delsushi.com

If you’re in the La Jolla area and craving some delicious sushi, Del Sushi caters to busy people on the go! They provide take out or delivery service to the UTC area and do not have restaurant service.

The Del Sushi menu includes everything from traditional rolls to baked rolls to soup and even side dishes. The sushi is always freshly made and is priced very cheaply compared to sushi restaurants in the area. Our personal favorite menu item is the Baked Salmon Roll with edamame on the side.

Del Sushi is located across the street from the UCSD campus, near the shops at Villa La Jolla and Nobel.
