First visit: May 2022
It's the day of the Rehearsal, so now we're officially on the wedding schedule. The "Rehearsal Dinner" was really going to be a late afternoon lunch, and that will be the subject of my next post. The Godfather and wife were mercifully left out of "ceremonial duties" but was asked to be a part of all the events. The best of both worlds really. Maybe...
Mrs. RJG and I both know that we're going to need to eat something more substantial to at least make it to the next stage. How about a small sandwich and a coffee? What's nearby that is local to the area? Kearny Mesa Deli - only a few minutes away from our first hotel. We checked out as the official wedding hotel is in a resort in Carlsbad. And we stopped here on the way.
Essentially Kearny Mesa Deli feeds the local office clientele. Not much housing in the area, and they're closed on the weekends. I went with a ham and cheese bagel sandwich and a caramel latte (Aperture Coffee for the record). Mrs. RJG had the same but with an orange juice. Sometimes it's the simple things in life that gives one joy. Not exceptional of course, but it just soothed the stomach perfectly. And they did everything just right - no soggy bagels, or not toasted properly. As for the location, no atmosphere of course - just a typical office building-like cafe setup - but open to the general public. Nice owners from Asia as well. Not a destination spot, but if I'm in the area again, I'll probably swing by for a snack.
