There’s no place like home – except for maybe Hotel del Coronado’s resplendent Crown Room, once the haunt of The Wizard of Oz author and Coronado resident L. Frank Baum. Though Sunday brunch (9 am–2 pm) is the only meal offered in the elegantly offbeat dining room, the elaborately expansive buffet remains undoubtedly one of the city’s best ways to spend a weekend morning. Dim sum choices, tastes of Mexican cuisine and an entire station devoted to fine cheeses complete a list of American breakfast favorites such as made-to-order omelets and waffles. And no ruby red slippers are needed to take a trip to the divine chocolate fountain. Full bar. Serving Sun brunch. Closed Mon–Sat. Voted Best Sunday Brunch in San Diego magazine's 2008 readers and editors polls.
