Best French Bakery in Mira Mesa

"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."

"What we found: Trilogy Sanctuary was highly recommended on the Happy Cow app. We decided to stop by for lunch on Thursday after visiting the beautiful beach in La Jolla. The all-vegan, 100% organic restaurant is only one part of Trilogy Sanctuary."

"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."

"Chef Karen Krasne earned a Certificat de Patisserie from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, and it has put her in good stead with area gourmets who flock here for a slice of coconut cream torte, a wedge of tangy-sweet tart, a scoop of intensely-flavored ice cream, or a handful of unbelievably awesome chocolate-tea cookies. Offerings vary from day to day, but frequently incorporate fresh fruits and flower garnishes, making them as gorgeous to look at as they are wonderful to eat. Gluten-free menu items include English muffins, baguettes, flourless banana cream cake, creme brulee, dark chocolate cookies and more delights."

"Let’s hope you saved room for dessert, because the Convoy District has some of the best ice cream shops in the city. All the inventive flavors and adorable cones or waffles to hold your scoops might even tempt you to skip dinner and go on an ice cream crawl instead."

"Extraordinary desserts is definitely the San Diego local's go-to spot for exquisite desserts. Located in the heart of downtown San Diego, you can't go wrong with any of their elegantly decorated desserts."

"Sugar and Scribe serves up freshly made pastries each day along with custom cakes, artisanal bread and more. Food Network Champion Chef Maeve launched the bakery to fame, going on to win awards like 2017 Best Bakery. Nibble on the scrumptious petit fours to feel like a certified Francophile."

"7660 Fay Ave, La Jolla, CA 92037(858) 274-1733Save Your Seat ASAP$$ | Bakery | Brunch Restaurant. This awesome spot is home to Food Network’s Chef Maeve. She won Holiday Baking Championship and has been featured on other Food Network shows."

"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."

"Satisfy your sweet tooth at North Park’s Nomad Donuts, which landed a spot in City Beat’s “Best Donuts in San Diego” roundup. Although not exclusively vegan, they do offer a number of non-dairy options, including ube taro, blueberry lavender, and Thai tea flavors. The venue itself is also delightful: a cherry-red, vintage double-decker bus set within a peaceful courtyard."

"Another motif you may notice as you peruse this list is the abundance of donuts. Donuts seem to be having their moment right now, but consider this a warning: nostalgic dessert trends tend to fade fast. Remember when cupcakes were big?"

"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."

"This new dessert joint offers handmade French pastries, amazing macarons, and some to-die-for truffles. Be sure to visit, and try their coconut salted caramel macarons as well as the creme brulee and chocolate truffles!"

"This popular food truck can be found all over San Diego, serving up traditional Hawaiian shaved ice with a wide array of syrup flavors. Fan favorites include Wild Watermelon, Blue Raspberry and Tiger’s Blood. The best part is that the syrups are customer-accessible so you can use as much or as little as you want in any combination."

"Los Peñasquitos (“little cliffs”) is a great beginners’ trail for those who want to enjoy mountain-feel views without having to hire an expedition crew. There are two approaches (east and west), and the trailheads offer a trek of either 6.5, or 5.5 miles, respectively. The terrain is gradual and level, but the trails are surrounded by the sort of views that gave the area its name: scenic rocky outcroppings, and stony formations that ripple with rubble."

"Grab a couple of gourmet tacos at City Tacos, a great first stop before exploring the local beer scene. Start at North Park Beer Co., then walk around the corner to visit Toronado."

"Archaeology studies human culture by recovering artifacts and trying to understand what they were used for. The San Diego Archaeological Center focuses on regional artifacts to tell the history of the people of San Diego and find common ground in our humanity. The exhibits feature tools dating back 10,000 years."

"Another Balboa park museum, the Museum of Photographic Arts, is a world-class site with an extensive collection of films, photographs, and videos. The museum was opened in 1983 and is one of the three museums which are specifically dedicated to the collection and preservation of photography in the United States. It is home to spacious galleries and state-of-the-art 228 seat theatre exhibiting work from some of the world-renowned photographers and cinematographers, including work by Yosuke Yamahata, the entire Nagasaki Journey: The Photographs of Yosuke Yamahata and an extensive collection from filmmaker Lou Stoumen’s estate."

"The Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) is one of a few private institutions dedicated to showcasing photography, film, and video. They also offer various workshops for photography enthusiasts (and I love stopping into the gift shop on my way out). Admission is free but based on a pay as you wish philosophy because one of their goals is to make their exhibitions accessible to all."
