Stratford Court Cafe

We came here for breakfast. Cute little spot in Del Mar tucked inside their coastal neighborhood. The cafe seems to be a house converted into a cafe. It has a large patio for seating with large yellow umbrellas. Food wise, we enjoyed a breakfast burrito which had avocado, bacon, potato and eggs with a side of fruit. We also had the avocado and edamame toast which had micro greens, tomato, pickled onions and feta on top of it. Overall, the food was good. I enjoyed my brown sugar cinnamon oat milk latte. It was not overly sweet. We will return to try more options.

Loved the patio, dog friendly! Quiet & warm with heaters.. my turkey croissant hit the spot But I wouldn't get the potatoes again. I'd get a side salad or fruit.

I ordered the Stratford Scramble which is scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado and your choice of toast and I had sourdough. I was surprised and disappointed the description didn’t say the eggs, potatoes, bacon and cheese are all cooked together and the avocado is on top or a photo showing the execution of this dish. The avocado was fresh and looked fantastic. I like to eat my protein first and that was a challenge. The bacon that was in my scramble was chewy and I spit out several pieces. It was hard to extract just the scrambled eggs from the mixture. Very polite and friendly staff. They have several tables outside so you can enjoy the great weather while you eat. No parking lot, just street parking.

We came here for brunch on Saturday with my son. I had the veggie scramble and he had the croissant omelet. The food was delicious, but what truly stood out was the service. They were so attentive. As soon as my tea was finished, they came right over with a fresh one without me even asking. Thanks to Calia! They always have fresh coffee ready too. The atmosphere is very cozy and warm, the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable. You definitely need to try this place. It really is a hidden gem.

We had terrible experience today here. We arrived at 1:30pm ordered 3 food and owner brought hot food in plastic boxes as you can see after 30 mins delay and expect us to eat in these plastic boxes while sitting. They did not mention anything about take out or inside dining but just brought our food like this. Did not offer anything else. Terrible experience.
