Restaurant Review: Krakatoa

Krakatoa 1128 25th St. San Diego, CA 92102 Phone: (619) 230-0272 Krakatoa is a volcano near the Indonesian island of Rakata in the Sunda Strait. The best known eruption of this volcano occurred in late August, 1883. The eruption ejected more than six cubic miles of rock, ash, and pumice and generated the loudest sound ever historically recorded by human beings! Krakatoa is also a really hip cafe located in Golden Hill in San Diego. The patrons range from ultra-hip Euro wannabes to grungy, tattooed waifs and your regular girl or boy next-door-type that bring their dogs along. Krakatoa also has really good coffee drinks, frosties, and teas, and a light fare menu that is pretty darn good. My favorite is the #1: The Wonchi ($6.95). It is a toasted telera bread piled high with fluffly scrambled eggs, cheese and ham or bacon (optional). This breakfast sandwich is also served with a side of fresh, seasonal fruit. My family and I have been religiously coming here almost every weekend for breakfast. That's how good it is! And they have a variety of coffee drinks. If you're a tea drinker, they have plenty of loose teas available. So the next time your in the area, make sure you stop by at Krakatoa for breakfast--or lunch. You'll like the atmosphere and the food and if you are looking for a cool place to study or do your work at, this is the place to be: the cafe is Wi-Fi'ed.
