Make your next Sunday brunch a boozy one at Enoteca, where the $28 prix fixe menu offers a choice of eight savory-to-sweet entrées (frittata, ricotta & banana pancake, smoked salmon grilled cheese), plus access to the antipasti bar between 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. Unique libations, including the Venus Fly Trap (jalapeno infused tequila, agave nectar, dry curacao) and a Moretti Michelada (lager, lime, salt, pepper and Ivan’s hot sauce) grace the menu, alongside traditional tipples like Bellinis and Bloody Marys. For an extra $15 mimosas can become bottomless.

The OB eatery's "Beats, Bubbles & Brunch” is still a big hit every Saturday and Sunday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. There's live musical entertainment and serious deals on brunch cocktails ($2 (!) mimosas and $5 Bloody Marys), plus a "Sofa-King Delicious" cinnamon roll, fries topped with eggs, bacon and hollandaise and Nacho Mama’s Short Rib Benny with cheese fondue.

Set within a vintage home, complete with white picket fence and convivial patio garden, the Cottage is hugely popular breakfast spot in downtown La Jolla. The coffee cake comes highly recommended, while other popular items include the stuffed French toast (brioche, strawberry compote, mascarpone cheese, $14) and, lemon ricotta pancakes ($11.50, or $13 with added grilled blueberries). Tables are allocated on a first come, first served basis so be prepared for upwards of a 30 minute wait on weekends.

With lines out the door most mornings a table is always worth the wait at this upscale diner. From popovers and scramble melts, to silver dollar pancakes, options for brunch are almost endless. While health conscious diners (vegan hash, seasonal fruit bowl), and sugar lovers (maple bacon donuts, beignets) are catered to in almost equal measure – you can never go wrong with the champion of breakfast beverages, a.k.a the Bloody Mary. Perhaps the most outlandish of the bunch, the One Armed Mary comes with a spicy octopus tentacle garnish ($13.95).

This wine bar's weekend brunch runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with seasonal fruit mimosas, bloody beers and an ever-changing menu that highlights local produce in everything from housemade pastries to savory empanadas, breakfast pizza and more. Don't miss the exceptional avocado toast topped with poached egg ($10), or the carnitas hash with kabocha squash ($14).

The Sunday Champagne Buffet Brunch at this charming replica World War I French farmhouse is not for the faint hearted. Running from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., $28.95 per person gets you all you can drink champagne (there is a 2 1/2 hour limit) and – with individual omelet, waffle and fajita bars, carving station, plus pasta and dessert stations – as many trips to the buffet that you can handle. Between 9 a.m. - 10 a.m. expect to pay $23.95 per person.

Breakfast is available daily until three at this downtown Oceanside bakery, where fresh-baked pastries and restorative coffee await. Heartier day-starters include baguettes topped with soft basted eggs, pesto, bacon and tomato, build-your-own omlets and sweet and savory crepes.

With its elevated breakfast fare and retro styling this vibrant Hillcrest eatery packs in the weekend crowds. Divided into five main sections (hen, hollandaise, sammies, sweet, light) menu options range from an indulgent three-pancake flight (the Pineapple upside down cakes have rave reviews on Yelp!), to the more health conscious quinoa porridge. If the ‘benny options have you beat Snooze allows you to order half an order of your two favorite offerings.
