A week or so ago, I wrote a review of The Spice House Cafe on Yelp

Here it is - with a picture!



"Out in space, an alien flotilla waits. Patiently eating up the parsecs, they approach Earth. Silent. Unstoppable. They reach Earth, and make their demands.

French Toast. Yes, this fleet has come to try out one of Earth's breakfast cusines. Batter-dipped fried bread. All of human existence depends on how well the alien's demands are met for this food.

If the aliens are taken to Denny's or Burger King for their French Toast, Earth will be destroyed. And rightfully so.

No, there's only once place to take them to. Only one place will save the Earth

Spice House Cafe. A tower of French Toast, piping hot, melting butter diluting the powdered sugar, syrup running down the stack.

The aliens feed, overwhelming the poor helpful waitress. They finish. The alien version of a smile creases their slightly sticky and satiated faces. Leaving some priceless grebiling gems as a tip, they board their spaceships and leap for the vastness of space, bearing tales of the wonders of Spice House Cafe's French Toast.

You don't have to be an alien to partake of their French Toast though. Simply go to Spice House Cafe and order a stack.

I doubt you'll be disappointed. Or leave hungry."

Spice House is a chain. There used to be one on A Street near the 163, but it was torn down. There is still one on Clairemont Mesa Blvd across from the county court house. The gyro omelet is the bomb, but the place is a little expensive.

There used to be three. The downtown one, Claremont Mesa, and another restaurant ("Skippy's??") in Kerney Mesa, all owned by the same family. Skippy's burned down, the downtown one went to breakfast and lunch only, and it seems that the Claremont Mesa one is the last remaining one, also now breakfast and lunch only.

Simular pattern to another family-owned place in North County - Truely Yours. Two stores at one point, Escondido and Vista. Vista was closed and torn down, and the Escondido one, which used to be 24 hours, is now breakfast and lunch.
