The Discriminating Guide to Adventure on the Mendocino Coast

My wife, Gerry, and I drove down to Gualala today, fifty miles south of Mendocino, for breakfast. I guess it sounds like a big adventure to go all that way for breakfast, but the weather was beautiful, the sun shining and the drive down the coast was nothing short of spectacular. For those of us who love the coast, we like staying on the coast, even if we do leave occasionally to shop or visit friends or see a foreign movie not playing in Fort Bragg.

Gualala is the last coastal outpost in Mendocino County before you cross into Sonoma County. So we decided to drive all the way to the county end of Highway 1 and then head north, dawdling on the way home.

Cafe LaLa is in the newish Cypress Village, a small group of buildings on the east side of Highway 1 as you come into the downtown area.

We ate omelettes — mine was mushroom and cheese; Gerry’s was veggie. Both were perfectly cooked. Coffee — both regular and decaf — excellent. Came with toast on the side. Total bill was $18 + tip (cash and checks only).

We were surrounded by locals, talking about — guess what — local stuff. A couple of them were web-surfing via WiFi.

Cafe LaLa also offers coffee specialty drinks and desserts. And, it comes with an ocean view. The owners describe the place as food with an attitude. A good attitude, I think. Check it out.
