Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Granite Hills

"Venture north to La Jolla and check out Trilogy Sanctuary & Cafe. Beyond its culinary offerings, this wellness center features an indoor and outdoor yoga studio, spiritual counseling, a boho boutique, and more. In fact, there’s even an option to buy the Trilogy cookbook and re-create some of the hits in your kitchen back home."

"In a similar vein, this next eatery was founded as an ode to conscientious wellness. Although there is no food scientist to be championed here, you could order your meal with a side of nirvana. We’re talking yoga here."

"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."

"Serving breakfast all day every day from 6:00 am – 10:00 pm, this coffee shop offers more than just great coffee. House specialties include many Mexican inspired dishes as well as traditional breakfast favorites. If you’ve got a large appetite, we recommend the Chicken Fried Steak Biscuit Sandwich served with a fried egg, country gravy and hashbrowns!"

"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."

"This super cute one-story house has been revamped into a quaint coffee shop with lots of great choices for food and coffee. But what keeps me coming back here is their outdoor seating that’s sheltered from the street by plants and trees and feels like sitting in the coziest backyard ever. Seriously, I think if inner peace were a place, this is what it would look like."

"928 Silverado St. & 2216 Avenida de la Playa La Jolla, San Diego, CA 92109. If you are looking for an early start to get some work or studying done, Brick & Bell is a perfect option!. They open every day at 5:30am, and apart from roasting their own coffee, they also bake fresh pastry every morning."

"Located just beyond Old Town, near the I-5/8 interchange, Perry's Cafe is a trucker's type of diner with a devoted clientele. They swear the pancakes - along with the other hearty fare - at Perry's are the reason you keep coming back. 4610 Pacific Highway, San Diego 92110"

"Hungry locals and truckers just passing through fill up at this roadside eatery, where they do a great job with breakfast basics (the hash browns are always crispy) and the service is friendly and efficient. Go early to avoid a wait."

"Located in Heritage County Park, this historic Victorian Tea House is a great Instagram spot and a delicious place to have afternoon tea. The tea here is not just an average to-go cup of tea. It is a full experience, complete with tea sandwiches, scones, petite desserts, and salads."

"Cafe Moto is the granddaddy of small roasters in San Diego, located in a warehouse in Barrio Logan. With each pour, Cafe Moto is patiently showing the new coffee shops on the block what beautiful business practices look like. They run their roasters on solar power, work with small farms growing Fair Trade and certified organic coffee as well as provide fresh roasted beans to some of the best restaurants in the city and beyond."

"With a timeless love for vintage motorcycle racing, technical involvement with espresso machines and coffee blends, Cafe Moto was launched in 1990. They somehow perfectly blend the rustic nostalgia-inducing ambiance of a classic car shop with the warmth of a space dedicated to community gatherings. Factor in its locale amongst the gorgeous murals of “Barrio Logan” and one artsy day is in store."

"Cafe Moto serves coffee that comes from many places in the world. For each type of coffee bean, they create a special roast that is perfect!. View this post on Instagram"

"This isn't your average cinnamon roll, in more ways than one. The cinnamon rolls are all DIY with frosting flavors like cake batter and coffee and toppings like cookie dough and Oreo cookies. The cinnamon rolls are also completely vegan."

"Chef Wong, which is located in Carmel Mountain, has only been around for a couple of years but it’s already building a fan base in North County. Try the fried cream cheese wontons for an appetizer and the chow fun noodles or the Xiao Long Bao, a steamed bun with pork."

"The Setting Sun Sake Tasting Room is offering to-go bottles and growlers and dine-in service Tuesday - Saturday. Delivery available Tuesday-Thursday in San Diego (order here) or shipping to homes further away (order here)."
