"Nine-Ten is all about California style, from the contemporary detailing of the dining room to the creative menu. Every plate is vibrant with fresh produce from small local farms which means that the menu is seasonal, though favorites like Jamaican Jerk Pork Belly (the chef's mother's recipe), braised short ribs and half-baked chocolate cake remain almost year-round. Chef Jason Knibb, who trained under masters such as Wolfgang Puck, has a deft hand with sous-vide cooking."
"#yolkporn alert — head over to this ritzy restaurant for brunch to get a taste of their famous short ribs with the bonus of poached eggs. If you like what you taste, Nine Ten has a great prix fixe menuto splurge on."

"This is a great choice for a casual lunch, family dinner or group outing. Puesto is an artisanal Mexican La Jolla restaurant that offers a little more of a full-service feeling. The colorful atmosphere keeps things fun and cosmopolitan, and the menu is a great combo of light starters and classic tacos."
"Given the lines you’ll almost inevitably find at the original Puesto—an authentic taqueria so beloved, it’s expanding into a small SoCal empire—you may well be discouraged. But don’t be: Simply put your name down, walk the two blocks to the beach..."
"The La Jolla outpost of Puesto is a bit smaller than some of the others but packs the same punch in offering quality Mexican food with inventive, modern twists. Lesser-known is that they have recently ramped up their dessert options."

Lestat’s coffee house has three locations, one on Adams, one on Park and the other in Hillcrest which is now open 24 hours a day, everyday. The location on Park Avenue has a ton of work space and is perfect for getting the job done!"
"Their coffee is good and the atmosphere of the place is great too!. It is the perfect place for hanging out, or if you like to study or work at the same time!. They have free Wi-Fi, which is great!"
"Again, they have multiple locations, but the one I have been to is in Barrio Logan. What I love about this place is they have coffee on tap!. They are all unique flavors and you can get little taste testers."
"Established in 1963, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is the oldest importer, roaster and multi-unit retailer of specialty coffee and tea in the United States. Location: 1935 Calle Barcelona Suite 176 Carlsbad, CA 92009(760) 634-3268"

"Although not on the same level as Starbucks, Peet's is a relatively popular chain of coffee with about 200 locations total. Peet's Coffee has a range of espresso drinks, brewed coffees, cold brews, as well as teas. The Espresso Forte stands as the foundation for their signature espresso beverages."
"We start this list of best coffee shops in San Diego with Copa Vida because their shop on West Broadway Street is exactly what we described in this article’s introduction. It is right in the city center but secluded from the main street, so you will be able to watch the crowds go by and let waves of San Diego’s energy wash over you from a safe distance. Apart from many excellent types of coffee, however, you can choose between numerous varieties of tea too if you fancy something with a bit less caffeine in it."
"Copa Vida is more than a series of beautifully curated coffee shops, bookable coffee carts and a catering business, it is an authentic, welcoming hub for the neighborhoods it inhabits in both Los Angeles and San Diego. Besides the supremely delicious coffee brewed to suit a wide variety of palettes, the bread is baked in-house and the menu is simple and delicious, served everyday from 7am-11am with a brunch on Saturday and Sundays from 8am-3pm."
"A post shared by Copa Vida (@copa_vida) on Aug 20, 2020 at 11:08am PDT. Copa Vida originally started in Pasadena, but has since grown into eight locations, including their roastery. Here they pride themselves on curating warm and welcoming experiences, not just coffee."
"Mitch’s Seafood created in 2008 by three families with a long history of fishing in the Point Loma area of San Diego, particularly in fresh seafood from the waters off San Diego. They are situated on San Diego’s working waterfront with a view of the fishing fleet, and they focus on simply prepared, California-style seafood and craft beer & wine from San Diego and California. Their seafood comes almost solely from the waters off San Diego and Northern Baja."
"Point LomaThere’s something really special about chowing down on tacos made from locally caught fish while looking out on fishing boats, and that’s exactly what you get here. The restaurant is casual, with prices to match. On Tuesdays, fried fish tacos are $2, grilled tacos are $3, and you can get a can of ice-cold Tecate for $1.50."
"Mitch’s Seafood is known for its fresh seafood from sustainable sources that come straight from the waters off San Diego. The restaurant sits on the waterfront with a nice view of the fishing fleet. The meals are simply prepared ina California style with tons of menu items."
"Mission BayThe bay view from the patio at this upscale (yet laid-back) restaurant located within Paradise Point Resort in Mission Bay is beautiful any time of day, but you get the best return on your investment during sunset. With plentiful parking and easy access to the sand (and fire pits), you can easily turn a dinner or happy hour visit into multiple hours of fun and relaxation, at no extra charge."
"A post shared by Rimel's Rotisserie La Jolla (@rimelsrotisserie) on Oct 5, 2016 at 5:46pm PDT. This small but very popular eatery has been running for well over 20 years, and its success has seen it spawn several other sites. This original location, however, is where it all began."
