This simple eatery is a local favorite and a great place to stop for breakfast or lunch as you travel the width and breadth of the Mission Valley. Ask for a warmed-up homemade cinnamon bun while you wait for your "farmer's breakfast" of eggs, bacon, and homemade bread. Try some combo of the many soups, sandwiches, and salads for a satisfying mid-day meal.
