Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Lake Murray

"I love a good healthy vegan cafe and yoga studio combo, and San Diego has a great one called Trilogy Sanctuary. The cafe is located in La Jolla, already one of the most stunning neighborhoods in San Diego. It’s also a rooftop cafe so you can soak up all those sparkling ocean views and San Diego sunshine while filling your body with good ol’ vegan nutrition."

"Superfood Acai Bowl at Trilogy Sanctuary|Courtesy of Sanctuary. Trilogy Sanctuary is a yoga studio, as well as a café serving vegan fare. The menu offers smoothies, bowls, salads, soups, and desserts on top of heartier fare like vegan pasta and burgers."

"Vegan and vegetarian food are served in a beautiful rooftop environment at Trilogy Sanctuary. Come for a yoga class and make sure to stay for the food afterwards."

"An island staple since 1941, while this retro diner serves food until 10 p.m., nothing beats pulling up a cherry red barstool at the counter for coffee and an all-American breakfast. Short-stacks, huevos rancheros, and chicken waffles are some of their most popular dishes. On the sweeter side, there’s a homemade granny smith apple pie alongside several milkshakes, malts and soda floats."

"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, La Jolla, CA 92037(858) 551-0928Book Your Large Party Here$ | Fresh Cafe. What is better than fresh-baked pastries with a cup of coffee in the mid-morning?. Personally, it sounds like heaven to me."

"If you’re spending a weekend in San Diego, a trip to Little Italy and its farmer’s market will probably be on your agenda. To get a boost of energy before you start browsing the market, head to Lofty Coffee for a nice breakfast. Oh yes, they serve some great pastries here if you want a real Italian breakfast, but they also have breakfast and lunch menus (all organic)."

"North ParkThis May, the former owner of Roast Coach Coffee Bar opened Holsem Coffee, one of the newest spots in town to get your caffeine fix. This place is all about quality, sparing no expense to source the highest-grade beans from all over the globe. This small-batch roaster offers seven roasts daily like Yirgacheffe, Sidamo, and its own Holsem Blend."

"Holsem Coffee is a great place for those who are looking to snap a few photos for their social network accounts while enjoying their morning drink. Not only is this place well designed with loads of natural light, but it also has some spectacular brews, creations as they call it. For example, how about a cup with spiced honey and cream?"

"They have cafes throughout Southern California, however, their space in Little Italy is so wonderfully unique in conception it is a MUST-DO for anybody interested in one-of-a-kind coffee experiences. “The Space,” as it’s called, houses James Coffee Co. along with a great collection of well-curated boutique shops all under one roof. The classic barbershop, hand-poured candle store, and premium craft eyewear seller, among others, add to the lively atmosphere of this bustling mini-market."

"A post shared by James Coffee Co. (@jamescoffeeco) on Jul 16, 2020 at 7:10am PDT. In addition to a few locations of their own, their artisan roasted coffee can also be found at six other area cafés. One location in particular, called the “Space,” is an industrial warehouse in Little Italy that accommodates their roastery, coffee shop and – wait for it – a collection of boutique shops!"

"Nekter Juice Bar is a chain juice bar with a spot near La Jolla Cove as well as a few locations throughout San Diego. Here you’ll find healthy snacks, cold-pressed juices, delicious smoothies and an extensive menu of açaí bowls. They have nut-based milk that makes their smoothies and bowls creamy while adding nutritional value."

"Another great brunch spot that I used to go to all the time when I lived in North County. It has a Mexican food twist to all the dishes, but super CLEAN & fresh. I get the yin & yang breakfast which is rosemary potatoes, jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, red bean, avocado, cheese, sour cream, salsa, & a tortilla (I add poached eggs on top) & their golden fairy dust latte which is chai tea, ginger, cinnamon, sub the soy milk for almond milk… to die for!!!"

"First, choose between a basic buttermilk or organic whole grain gluten-free batter for your pancakes. Then, add the toppings of your choice from wild blueberry to toasted coconut and mango. Moreover, there are vegan pancakes too."

"Proprietor Bertrand Hug's French restaurant is the kind of place, even in the days of more casual dining, that you still want to get dressed up for. A favorite with visiting Hollywood stars and world-renowned chefs, it offers unabashed elegance, irresistible gourmet dishes, intimate rooms with warmly-lit fireplaces, exquisite hand-woven tapestries, and starched white linens. The menu's delicacies change with the seasons and can include short ribs with heirloom carrots, morels and polenta; and scallops with sprouting cauliflower, kohlrabi and Champagne beurre blanc."

"There’s always something new at Crumbl with their 4 specialty flavors changing weekly, but they’ve always got the classic choc chip and sugar cookie daily. As of this writing, their specialty flavors are Snickerdoodle Cupcake, Pumpkin Choc Chip, Frozen Hot Chocolate (hello chocolate mousse with mini marshmallows and powdered sugar!) and a Biscoff Lava; which if you’ve never had a Biscoff cookie, make this the one you try first!"

"In-N-Out Burger is just a classic fast food chain out West, it originated in California in 1948. It’s famous because the chain has barely changed since then. Stepping into an In-N-Out Burger will take you back to the 40’s with its interior design, same small menu, similar prices, and high quality!"
