Brockton Villa

Treat mom to an amazing brunch and a close-up look at ocean and cove activity at Brockton Villa in La Jolla. The historic cottage is famous for its brioche french toast called Coast Toast, but the breakfast bowls and variety of omelets are just as delicious. The history of the cottage is worth brushing up on before your visit. The cottage, which opened in the late 1990s uses the color palate and décor of its surroundings, the beautiful ocean, cove, and sandy shores.

Jeune et Jolie

It's not often that a North County restaurant snags a spot on Esquire Magazine's list of Best New Restaurants in America, but that's just what Jeune et Jolie did in 2019. The Carlsbad eatery aims "to reimagine French food through the vibrant lens of Southern Californian landscape." It's a place special enough to celebrate Mother's Day but unpretentious enough to relish in the ordinary everyday as well. For moms who'd like to indulge in a libation with their brunch, the cocktail list at Jeune et Jolie is tailored to perfection. In order to accommodate outdoor dining, the restaurant invested nearly $40,000 to convert the small parking lot on the side of their building into an outdoor dining patio, adorned with string lights and beautiful landscaping. Mom will be smitten with everything about this award winning café.
