Best Brunch Spots in San Diego
"Best for: a crowd pleaserLocation: 2266 Kettner Blvd, San Diego, CA 92101Menu. Fried chicken, happy hour, outdoor seating… what’s not to love at this trendy restaurant in San Diego?. The Crack Shack has been making headlines since it debuted in Little Italy in 2015 and multiple locations have already popped up around the state due to the restaurant’s immediate success."
"Not only does The Crack Shack serve incredible chicken but both of the locations also provides a fun setting for the whole family to enjoy. Try a game of bocce ball on the lawn or pose for a silly photo with the giant chicken that stands guard over the patio. Trust us, it’s a great, unique photo op!"
"It’s pretty well known around San Diego that Breakfast Republic is one of the go-to spots for some savory early morning eats. With seven locations, visitors and locals alike won’t have to travel too far to satisfy their craving. Exceptional menu items, such as the Jurassic Pork Benedict with a mountain of pork over a sourdough English muffin topped with avocado and hollandaise sauce and served with house potatoes, are sure to satisfy big appetites."
"Where: 3628 Fifth Ave, San Diego, CA 92103 Upon opening, Hash House A Go Go became an instant hit and neighborhood favorite. What would you expect from a restaurant that serves over-the-top portions of twisted, Midwest-inspired farm food and crafted cocktails?. Dorothy, you're not in Kansas anymore."
"Brunch in Hillcrest: Hash House a Go Go(3628 5th Avenue) Warning, don’t visit Hash House alone. The plate sizes are disgustingly large but the eggs Benedict and bloody Mary (hey, you’re on holiday!) are amazingly good (even if it is a chain)."
"The Great Maple is located in San Diego’s Hillcrest district and offers award-winning, seasonal American fare with European influences, delectable cocktails, and delicious pie. 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."
"Go with a group of people so you can get an order for the table. Or eat them yourself, its ok, I won't tell. The breakfast menu is extensive including options such as house smoked pork belly and eggs, shrimp and polenta, scrambles, a chocolate bacon pancake (among other types of pancakes), house smoked salmon, and chilaquiles."
"Daily News Cafe offers tasty meals that you can enjoy any time of day. If you’re in the mood for breakfast, try the Swiss Alps with mushrooms and Swiss cheese or the Vegetarian omelet with zucchini, cauliflower, carrots, and a combination of jack and cheddar cheese. Daily News Cafe also offers several salads that are filling enough to serve as an entree like the Rooster Cogburn with chicken, avocado and walnuts, or the Chef’s Out to Lunch with chicken, ham, bacon, eggs, and olives."
"909 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA 92037(858) 459-8800Order Online Here$$ | Famous Meals. Since 1948, this establishment has been serving up glorious breakfast starting in the mid-west. We were lucky enough to get a Richard Walker’s in La Jolla in 2014."
"San Diego Zoo Safari Park is one of the best things to do in San Diego for kids though plenty of adults go for the safaris, to see the animals, and learn more about conservation. Large free-range enclosures are designed to closely mimic the natural habitats of exotic animals like rhinos, camels, cheetahs, gorillas, giraffes, lions, tigers, warthogs, wild cattle, and zebras. More than 3,000 animals representing 300 species roam freely throughout the park, and you can see them from trams, golf carts, trucks, large helium balloons, and zip lines."
"With savannahs of giraffes and rhinos, a tiger forest, gorilla habitat and many other great enclosures, kids are totally entertained. For the family that wants a little something extra, you can actually stay at the Safari Park overnight. That’s right, Roar and Snore allow you an after hour look at all the animals."
"The San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Escondido’s leading attraction, is located only 6 miles from Escondido RV Resort. Enjoy an active and hands-on safari experience, plus 10% off tickets through the resort!"
"Los Peñasquitos (“little cliffs”) is a great beginners’ trail for those who want to enjoy mountain-feel views without having to hire an expedition crew. There are two approaches (east and west), and the trailheads offer a trek of either 6.5, or 5.5 miles, respectively. The terrain is gradual and level, but the trails are surrounded by the sort of views that gave the area its name: scenic rocky outcroppings, and stony formations that ripple with rubble."
"The park was named after Christopher (Kit) Carson, the famous scout who guided Captain John C. Fremont over the Sierra Nevada Mountains during a government exploration expedition. The City of Escondido acquired the land for its largest regional park from the City of San Diego in 1967. Address:3333 Bear Valley Parkway, Escondido, CA 92025"

"A photo posted by Donut Panic (@donutpanicsd) on Jan 11, 2017 at 6:16am PST. “Donut Panic”about eating amazing donuts from this little shop on Mission Gorge Road because they are organic and in San Diego, we love the organic, healthy options – even when it comes to eating donuts!. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, Donut Panic offers 100% vegan donuts and bagels, and during the rest of the week they have traditional desserts and old fashioned donuts."
"Besides a clever name, Donut Panic is also great at glazed donuts. Along with traditional donuts, they offer vegan creations such as chocolate espresso almond, Earl Grey, maple bacon glaze, and even rosewater cardamom. Baker Linda Dami combines potato flakes mixed with flour, soy milk, sugar, salt, oil, and yeast."
"Address: 6171 Mission Gorge Rd, Ste 113, San Diego, CA 92120. Neighborhood: Grantville. Don’t panic when you see the donuts at Donut Panic...their donuts taste just as good as they look!"
"Spike Africa's is named after legendary schooner captain once known as the "President of the Pacific Ocean". Serving fresh seafood amid nostalgic detail, the focus is really about the food though premium drinks are offered at modest price points. Craft beers and signature drinks pair well with fresh fish (choose a side and a sauce)."
"The interior is spacious and welcoming with contemporary and fun decor. The seafood is fresh boasting direct from the boat to the restaurant and the food is delicious. Gas Lamp offers both Mediterranean and American cuisine and it’s a great place to get steak and lobster or other house specialties from the menu."
"One of the best seafood menus in town and a local-favorite happy hour make the Gaslamp Fish House a stop spot for cheap eats in San Diego. This is a top spot for dinner after a str..."
"We know we said we love the salads in California, but sometimes you crave a succulent meaty burger – if you get that feeling while exploring Little Italy, then this New Zealand restaurant in a historic craftsman house. They’ve updated this old house in a pretty quirky way, with grazing sheep on the ceiling and sleek furnishings, not to mention the bar!. Sure it’s not quite as good as a trip to Queenstown or a day out in the NZ wineries – but it also doesn’t require a 12-hour flight…"
"This charming house-turned-restaurant looks like it was designed by Little Red Riding Hood after puffing on some Cali bud (example: there are sheep grazing on the ceiling of the dining room, for some reason). The semi-covered side patio and umbrella covered yard tables are perfect for a mid-afternoon sangria or a beer. If you choose to sit out a round, try the sun tea that’s brewed right on the porch."
"1557 Columbia St (at W Cedar St), San Diego, CAMake Your Reservation Now$$ | New Zealand Restaurant. I walk past this restaurant every week on my way to the office and the vibe is just so cozy and cute. Their brunch is served every Saturday & Sunday and let me tell you, the menu is so mouthwatering."
