Awesome breakfast place
Stopped by for fuel before our paddle boarding plans in the bay. This spot has a lot of things going for it - cute vibes, good location, decent drinks and food. I’m a big fan of counter service establishments especially since this one has multiple seating areas to suit your fancy. Bar seating, indoor, outdoor with dogs, rooftop. My husband loved his breakfast burrito and iced latte.
However a few things could be improved. Outdoor seating was messy, had lots of flies, and tables are a little cramped together. I also ordered their special lavender honey matcha, but then changed my mind and opted out of honey because it sounded way too sweet, and somehow they charged me MORE… I didn’t even catch it until after I paid but basically he rebuilt my drink à la carte in the POS system so that it’s a matcha latte + lavender syrup = $7.50 instead of just charging me for the special which was $6.25???? Dude what is that logic

Chill place, but I only tried a few things. Bloody Mary had a nice spice to it. Just wish it was a bit bigger for the price. Sweet potato burrito was also surprisingly good.

I had a cup of coffee, it was honestly kind of watery. We go to a decent number of coffee places, and this one tasted like a shot of espresso in a cup of water.
I noticed the last 5 star review highlighted all the healthy stuff Molly’s has to offer. I’m sure it’s all really great and stuff, but I would like to talk about the UNHEALTHY stuff. It was extremely good.
Let’s start with the one that fills my life with regret. Molly’s makes a drink called a banana bread chai. Oh. My. God. This beverage would make an atheist believe in God and the devil, because it provides strong evidence that God loves us and wants to be happy… while at the same time wondering if someone put something in front of you that mortals should not be able to enjoy. My regret comes from the fact that I passed Molly’s Pastries for the last four days and could have stopped in, but did not. What a waste of four perfectly good mornings.
My cinnamon roll had a ridiculously thick and creamy frosting. Although I personally prefer a cinnamon roll that is so gooey scientists may describe it as a non-Newtonian fluid, I really liked the doughy interior after breaking through the gentle crust. The frosting itself was so good that I could happily eat a tub of it by itself. Would order again.
I tried a bite of my wife’s ham and cheese croissant. It was so buttery, I could feel my arteries clogging up. However, it was light and flaky enough that I am certain that I won’t experience the gut rot common in bad greasy spoon breakfasts.
Fortunately, we plan to go to La Jolla later today to walk around and counteract some of the potentially bulgy side effects, but I can tell you this: before I get on a plane to go back home, I’m going to get another banana bread chai. Some things might be worth risking diabetes. That chai is one of them. Thank you, Molly’s!
