"Home of Food Network’s Holiday Baking Champion Chef Maeve, you will not want to miss this bakery during the holidays. In San Diego, Sugar and Scribe Bakery is known to be a quintessential La Jolla hangout. Experience only high-quality pastries from all over the world here in San Diego!"

"Start the day with donuts and coffee from Nomad Donuts, which will fuel you without leaving you too full for a day of action. Catch a morning surf lessons from Surfari Surf School at north Mission Beach, and enjoy some prime people-watching on the Pacific Beach Boardwalk while you catch your breath. You’ll have worked up quite an appetite, so sate it the way a local surfer would—with fish tacos from Oscars Mexican Seafood."

Nomad Donuts boasts “gourmet donuts inspired by the world yet created with local ingredients.” They even offer vegan donuts. Of course they have the classics like chocolate and maple but they also provide donuts for the more sophisticated pallet."

"Nomad Donuts in North Park really has some of the most unique donut flavors you will ever see. Every one in San Diego is an açaí fan. Mix açaí and a donut together, and it's every San Diegan's dream."

"Lofty Coffee is a community hub for coffee in San Diego, which got its start as a small shop in 2011 on HWY 101 in Encinitas. Now they’ve expanded to four locations and a production facility where beans are roasted and pastries are homemade from scratch. Each location is massively important to its neighborhood, serving up sunny patios for conversation, healthy breakfast dishes, the delicious coffee they're known for and homemade pastries baked fresh daily."

"Often called (informally of course), “the best coffee in North County,” Lofty’s three locations in Encinitas and Solana Beach mean you might find one without the lines. Its original location near Moonlight Beach is a local cafe and coffee roasting spot with specialty coffee and artisanal food decorated in industrial chic. A locally owned and operated cafe, Lofty roasts its own coffee beans."

"Founded in 2011, this coffee shop and bakery has several locations in San Diego county. Each location is different from the rest, giving coffee lovers a unique and wonderful experience. Some of the popular locations include the Little Italy bakery where all their baked goods are created and the Coast Highway location where coffee lovers can enjoy artistic roasts."

"Not that the classic thin brownie and vanilla ice cream sandwich isn’t great, but sometimes you just need to mix it up. Check out The Baked Bear, an ice cream sandwich shop where you can customize your base (cookies, brownies or donuts), your ice cream flavor and your toppings."

"Clearly they’re Very Good at everything they bake here since it’s a 3rd generation run bakery. Recipes and their old-fashioned baking style have been passed down for so long; which is why they’re here to stay. Of course they have the classic cookie flavors (choc chip, peanut butter, oatmeal and others), but they’re famous for their daily smiley face and surfing cookies."

"Famous for making old-fashioned doughnuts, this bakery is a hit with the locals. They also recommend the banana nut bread as well as coffee cakes. You can choose from a wide range of flavors with the coffee cakes, such a strawberry cream cheese to satisfy any sweet tooth."

"Fresh doughnuts, pastries, cookies, cakes and bread are available for pickup. Phone orders are encouraged. New temporary hours are 5 a.m."
