"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."

"You’ll feel like you’ve been blasted to the past at this iconic coffee shop. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Clayton’s stays true to its roots serving popular diner classics such as biscuits ’n’ gravy, malted shakes, chili cheese fries, and tuna melts. Insider tip: In a rush?"

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."

"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."

"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)."

"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."

"Located on Leucadia’s 101, Coffee Coffee sits next to surf shop Surfy Surfy, and was created as a hangout place by a group of surfer friends. Serving hand–roasted coffee from its Probat roaster (and manned by Revolution Roasters’ Dan the Coffee Man), Coffee Coffee also features locally–sourced teas from Tea Gallerie. Pair your coffee with breakfast and lunch dishes made fresh to order and take a seat at the coffee bar to watch Dan roast up a batch of craft coffee."

"Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion® Cuisine promises to make for one of the most unique fine dining experiences available. Open for dinnerDress code: CasualPhone: +1 619-239-7697"

"Located at the 640 Tenth Avenue, Cowboy star is a bar that would apparently might portray an old-school steakhouse vibe, but the drinks offered here are totally new-school, offering creative spins on classics like margaritas (made with muddled green chilies) and Old Fashioned (Benchmark bourbon, simple syrup, Fee Brothers bitters), the Cowboy Star is home to every taste. This place features an on-site butcher along with an open kitchen, where you can watch all the magic happen yourself. Surprisingly the majority of the visitors coming here are tourists instead of the locals, mainly due to the posh interior and apparent retro vibe that it provides along with the great and exotic boozing options."
