Start with a bottle of wine, then choose \u00e0 la carte from Mother\u2019s Day enhancements and brunch staples like blueberry lemon buttermilk pancakes, huevos rancheros, eggs benedict, or their award-winning burger.

Dig into savory favorites like the fig and fromage frais tartine and Dungeness crab croquette benedict, followed by something sweet like a floral-decorated cronut or a berry croissant farci. It\u2019s the closest thing to a Parisian caf\u00e9 without the plane ticket.\u00a0<\/p>\n Price: \u00c1 la carte Cesarina<\/p>\n Cesarina<\/a> describes itself as a nurturer at heart, like a grandmother, mother, and daughter all in one, feeding and caring for the community.
