Elijah's

I really like that Elijah's serves breakfast all day. On days that I'd like to have breakfast for dinner, Elijah's is the go-to place.

Elijah's | Coffee | Chocolate New York Egg Cream

This restaurant is one of the few in San Diego that serves a New York Egg Cream: a frothy, bubbly, exciting mix of seltzer water and milk, with the option for vanilla or chocolate syrup. A refreshing twist, it's a hot chocolate served fizzy and cold.

Elijah's Breakfast

This past weekend, John and I ordered our favorites here at Elijah's: an Eggs Benedict with fresh fruit for me, and a Big Wave Breakfast with a bagel, lox, and salami for John. The Eggs Benedict was delicious: the eggs were poached perfectly with a very runny yoke, but the fruit was stale and lacked flavor. John's Big Wave Breakfast was a standard smoked salmon with cream cheese on a bagel, and the scrambled eggs were tasty.

I remember that Elijah's food tasted better years ago, and perhaps with every table and every booth in the dining area occupied that day, the kitchen was overwhelmed. Elijah's may not be one of my favorite breakfast restaurants, but for serving breakfast all day, Elijah's helps to quell my breakfast fixations.
