"There’s a chance you went too hard at the clubs in the Gaslamp Quarter last night and need a reliable breakfast. This preserved corner building from the 1870s serves morning staples like french toast made with housemade cinnamon bread, plus some great breakfast burritos and chilaquiles. It also has a full coffee bar with great drip and specialty drinks—order the hammerhead, a combination of espresso and drip for a more aggressive jolt. When you’re feeling more like a normal human, head over to The Quartyard. They’re always hosting different events such as live music, roller skating, yoga classes, and more." - ligaya malones
