Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Crown Point Shores

"Known for its interesting twist on Southern California fried chicken and eggs, this restaurant uses meat that is antibiotic-free. The open-air dining combined with lawn games makes for a fun ambiance. The kids’ section, their menu aptly titled, “Little Cluckers” offers a choice of grilled chicken or grilled cheese, nuggets, a side of carrots or petite fries, juice, and a cookie."

"Crack Shack is one of San Diego’s most popular family-friendly restaurants for fried chicken on an otherworldly level. Celebrity Chef Richard Blais developed “Crack Spice” which is a proprietary blend of spices that he adds to locally raised, free-living, antibiotic-free chicken. Opt straight for the fried chicken with dipping sauces or one of the decadent sandwiches."

"The Crack Shack is my most favorite place to go with the kids. They have a sandbox with toys, a chalk board easel, giant connect four and plenty of outdoor space for kids to run around. Not to mention, the food is excellent and their craft cocktails are a real treat."

"All Breakfast Republic locations are back up and running with patio dining, so you can savor an indulgent brunch spread without a home unboxing!. Reunite with outdoor dining by ordering some of the eatery’s classics, including Breakfast Bacon Mac ‘n’ Cheese, Breakfast Jambalaya and Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. Heck, celebrate with a pancake or French toast flight for good measure!"

"The line wrapping around the block at Hash House A Go Go is for good reason — they serve perfectly prepared breakfast classics with a twist, and portions so big that sharing is a necessity. This twist on chicken and waffles is not only gigantic, but also complex, with the sage chicken complimenting the smoked bacon waffles, fried leeks, maple reduction and runny yolks. Bring an empty stomach, your patience and a few friends, and your life will be forever changed."

Stop into this unique “European dinette” for one of their fresh-made, maple bacon donuts, vegan hash or fried goat cheese squash blossom. Hash House A Go Go’s Johnny Rivera opened this chic eatery in 2013 with the same passion for entertainment while Chef Carmine Lopez mans the kitchen."

"One of the best things about places that are open 24 hours is that you meet some interesting people who crave pancakes at 4 am. Another great thing is to be able to have those pancakes any time of the day or night. The dining room at Brian's is inviting and cozy, with an open kitchen where you can watch the magic happen, and unique features such as a classic mahogany bar and a crystal chandelier for a touch of class."

"If there's one thing the Gaslamp Quarter needs, it's a place to nosh after a late night at the clubs. Brian's 24 is extremely popular for ordering breakfast, lunch or dinner 24 hours a day. The owners were fed up that a 24-hour option did not exist so they decided to open their own."

"Not only do they taste good, but they come in many flavors, from basic buttermilk and fruit to Lucky Charms and PB & J. First head down for breakfast, then go to The New Children's Museum to round out the day. Pancake: stack of three (they're huge!), $9-$12Hours: daily, 24/7"

"The Baked Bear offers gourmet, custom ice cream sandwiches in multiple locations across San Diego County. When the first location opened, there were lines out of the door and the concept has been a major hit ever since. The way it works is that you choose your delicious, decadent cookies (a flavor on top and a flavor on the bottom is even an option) and choose your ice cream."

"Pacific Beach/Carlsbad/Petco ParkWhat you're getting: Custom ice cream sandwich ($3.25-$4.25)Whether you build your own ice cream sandwich with cookies, brownies, or a donut, it’ll still ring in well under $5. Our pick is the cookie and brownie combo ($3.70), a delicious treat big enough to satisfy the sweet tooth of a bear under the influence of appetite-increasing herbs."

This playground perfect for the times that you want to go to the beach and not without the sand."
