"With a smoothie selection as expansive as its rooftop view of the Pacific Ocean, this yoga-studio-meets-all-day-eatery prides itself on organic and nourishing ingredients. Sit back with a plate of Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos and watch the aerial-silks class, or sign up for a yoga session and refuel with the Nourish Green Bowl afterward. It’s not just a restaurant, Trilogy is truly a vegan sanctuary."

"Having a bite on the vividly decorated roof could inspire you to try one of the yoga classes offered inside. This rooftop café is one of the best vegetarian restaurants San Diego has to offer if you’re looking for breakfast or brunch. Trilogy is located on Girard Avenue, right in the heart of San Diego."

"This is a bit of a trek for me, but I will make the drive just to eat here. This spot is on the rooftop of a building in La Jolla & it is just such a mellow spot to brunch. If you’re lucky, there may even be an aerial yoga class going on while you eat."

"Clayton's Coffee Shop, located in Coronado, CA, is a casual coffee shop and diner that serves up a variety of caffeinated beverages and an assortment of tasty eats. Fido is welcome to join you at outdoor tables after you order from their pet-friendly walk-up window. (Treats are even available for your pup!) Try a Mexican Mocha or a Chai Tea Latte while savoring a fresh donut or slice of homemade Granny Smith apple pie."

"The minute you walk though Clayton’s doors, you’ll feel like you’ve opened a time capsule. The first thing that catches you eye is the horseshoe counter that connects to the kitchen. Its bold red leatherette swivel stools make you smile with the memory of simpler times."

"If you love that vintage diner feel than you will love Clayton’s. This one is a hit and miss for people. They always have the doors open so it can get drafty and there is usually a long wait."
