Christmas Time and Coffee in Coronado

Today while visiting the California winter wonderland that is the island of Coronado, I visited one my "regular" San Diego area cafés. It's named Cafe 1134 and it's located on the main drag Orange Avenue in Coronado. They have a vast selection of warm beverages including tea and coffee. The pastry case was tempting and I have samples some items in the past, as well as breakfast from their made in the kitchen menu. Today I simply had a coffee. That is if you call a coffee named a Mexican Mocha simple. It was a coffee similar to a latte with an added cinnamon kick and topped with whipped cream. Since it was chilly outside we passed on the outside table today, which are typically hard to come by, and sat at a small table by the front window. This cafe is often bustling and the staff is always friendly and efficient. You can also get a frequent visitor card. If you bring your dog to Coronado they have a water dish out front for their refreshment as well and they are welcome at the outside tables. I tend to visit this spot each time I visit Coronado. It gives you a bit of a "I'm a local Coronadian" feel which isn't half bad if you (like me) haven't found a way to make and spend a couple million dollars on a home on the island. I'll be back sooner than later next time with what I've been up to on my pastry ventures recently! Until then take some time and eat a pastry or enjoy a warm coffee this winter.
