Nestled in one of many strip malls found on Durango Drive, Del Mar Cafe is a great little spot for breakfast or lunch.
Del Mar Cafe embraces a racetrack theme, most noticeably on their menu. Printed in a newspaper format, many menu items are named after some of the more successful racehorses. I wouldn't have been able to help naming the biscuits and gravy Seabiscuit, but somehow they resisted. The food is great and they also have a full bakery and specialty coffee selection. We had a sample of the banana nut muffins and they were warm and wonderful. I got the banana pancakes. Stacked 3 high, it was more than I could handle but if you're starving, go for it! Fresh bananas on top and some baked into the batter...yum!
The good thing about this cafe however is where some specialize in breakfast and lunch is an afterthought, Del Mar Cafe pays attention to both. The lunch choices were just as plentiful as the breakfast, good for those early risers who have friends that want to sleep in. There are lots of TV's to catch up on sports news or current events and seating is comfy and spacious. A great spot for an inexpensive but quality meal! Be sure to grab a frequent diners card too!
