"Venture north to La Jolla and check out Trilogy Sanctuary & Cafe.

"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!"

"An icon on the island, and decade after decade serves up all-American favorites. You can’t beat a weekend breakfast, happily entrenched in a café booth with your favorite tunes on the tabletop jukebox!!!. It feels like 1945 and everyone loves it."

"Brick and Bell Café is a bustling spot full of people on the run who still want a good morning meal. This bakery and cafe is famous for its baked goods and deliciously fresh coffee. They’re especially well known for their scones; but their buttery croissants and hearty banana walnut bread are equally as delicious."

"This one is more of a café than a restaurant, but you can’t visit La Jolla Shores without a stop here. Whether it be for a coffee and pastry or a lunch order to-go for your day at Shores beach, it’s a great place for everyone. It’s a cute little spot with plenty of tables out front to sit and relax."

"North Park is without a doubt a great neighborhood to get a decent cup of coffee, and Young Hickory blends into that environment perfectly. However, this is a San Diego coffee shop with a twist: apart from great coffee, they also serve (more than 30) craft beers here!. As a matter of fact, even some breweries from Europe are represented in the shop, too."

"Young Hickory is a hipster café and espresso bar offering sandwiches, salads and a wide selection of craft canned beers. Choose from a selection of flavored hot teas and iced teas. Also, on the menu is drip coffees, Just a Shot, Americano, Hammerhead, Cappuccino, Latte, Mexican Mocha, Chai Latte, Iced Coffee."

"This makes this coffee shop a great place for hanging out, working, and studying, which is great!. Besides that, their coffees are very delicious. They roast the coffee themselves, which means the flavors you find here are unique!"

"Acai bowls are a huge thing out west, but a lot of the world hasn’t even heard of them before. It’s basically a smoothie bowl comprised of acai or pitaya, or both if you’re lucky. Fruit is piled high on top along with nuts, coconut shavings, peanut butter, almond butter, granola, and the list goes on and on."

"Next up is Roseville-Fleet Ridge's Northside Shack, located at 1255 Rosecrans St., with Yelpers giving the breakfast and brunch spot, which offers juice, smoothies and açai bowls, five stars out of 557 reviews."

"The owners of Encinitas Cafe want to make sure you feel at home at their diner. They serve down-home classics like omelets, grilled sandwiches, and chicken-fried steak with top notch hospitality. Although the cafe has been a local favorite since 1989, there’s been a diner running at this location since the 1930’s."

"Along with a lot of other classic dishes you would find at your local sushi place... But you get to serve y..."

"Partake in the traditional Churrasco without boarding a plane to Brazil. Skewers of meat are slow-roasted over a mesquite flame after being marinated in simple seasonings. The meat waiter will slice it freshly off the skewer until you throw in the towel."

"Even if you’re broke, the Timken Museum of Art is always free, and if you have a Bank of America card, the San Diego Museum of Art and the Museum of Photogenic Arts are free on certain days. If you love art, check out the Spanish village. These are historic buildings turned art galleries and stores which have a lot of their work for sale. Even just walking through this area is a fun experience."

"While the peaceful, residential neighborhood of South Park has several gift shops worthy of a browse (Grafitti Beach Boutique and Make Good among them), Brake & Rumble is the only spot where you might actually find something you want to buy for yourself, for both men and women. Expect boots, jewelry, cool T-shirts, and more. Note: The shop is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays."
