"2550 Fifth Ave 12th floor, San Diego, CA 92103 (619)-239-1377. Mister A’s has a lovely view of the city and the bay view. The view gets even better close to sunset."

"When the craving for comfort food strikes, there’s almost nothing better than a trip to Whisknladel. This decade-old stalwart elevates classics like buttermilk fried chicken with gourmet mac and cheese and a side of pancetta braised green beans, and a menu that sources almost entirely from local farms. Charred bone marrow gets cozy with lemon and capers, while local market fish takes a swim in lemon butter sauce and the pork chop basks in a peach vinaigrette."

"At Whisknladle, you know you’re getting three things: Decadent comfort eats, local ingredients, and a plate of food your body will thank you for. Chef Ryan Johnston believes in a simple culinary philosophy: Food does not need to be overpowered, overmixed, or over-presented. Food, in its optimal form, is a culmination of the ingredients inside."

"This farm-to-table restaurant located in the village serves breakfast 7 days a week from 9:30 am – 3:00 pm. It features open-air windows, a small outdoor patio, and the servers are friendly and attentive. The menu is ever-changing to reflect what the executive chef can get from local farms and purveyors, and everything is made from scratch."

"With a killer selection of fresh pastries, croissants, and scones – plus bistro classics like charcuterie and pâté plates – Tartine has been a staple for islanders since 2001. And while it’s a cozy café by day, come evening it’s the perfect place to BYOB (although the boutique wine list here is stellar), and relax on the patio with one of the daily specials, which can range from beef stroganoff to a pan-roasted sea bass."

"After breakfast, head to the northeast side of the island for a European lunch at Tartine. They offer great paninis, quiches, and pastries. I recommend trying their Spinach, Tomato and Gruyere Quiche with a cup of soup."

"A Coronado Island treasure inspired by a classic Parisian bistro, Little Frenchie is a lovely spot for lunch. Chef Matt Sramek looks to Paris for culinary inspiration but to Califo..."

"Little Frenchie was one of my favorite spots on Coronado Island. There are many brunch places around, but this one had to be the cutest in my opinion."

"Le Parfait Paris is San Diego's newest patisserie and boulangerie. Located in the downtown Gaslamp District, Le Parfait Paris is distinctly chic with its large, open windows and street-side patio. Intentionally minimalistic in design, a bevy of colorful macarons and desserts are housed like fine jewelry in transparent refrigerated cases for roving eyes to adore."

"The name may make it sound like a bakery, which it is; it just happens to have a fantastic selection of beers that are all on draft, as well!. It’s nestled in the La Jolla Shores area, so it’s the perfect spot to hit on a beach day. After a day of surfing and swimming in the Pacific, there’s truly nothing like a crisp, refreshing beer."

"Taking top prize for favorite donut shop, Mary’s in Santee wins the admiration of the most EDSD members for over 30 years of serving delectable donuts. Group member Christopher Henderson declared, “I’d sell a kidney for a fresh, hot, sweet and savory Maple Bacon Bar from Mary’s Donuts. The balance of the chopped smoky bacon to the rich maple glaze is unparalleled."

"Harboring the java talent that has set forth a tsunami of international acclaim, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters recently earned a once-in-a-lifetime Roaster of the Year award from Roast Magazine, consistently posts winning scores above 90 by Coffee Review, and always has a Q-Grader certified roaster on site. The La Jolla location is perfect for a cup on the go or when table seating is a must, not to mention, they have two sidewalk facing garage doors that open up and treat the cafe to smooth ocean breezes and sunny Southern California days. There are six Bird Rock cafe’s meaningfully placed throughout San Diego, aside from serving the highest quality coffee, each takes pride in providing a platform for local musicians and showcasing masterpieces brushed to magnificence by local artists."

"Their flagship location on La Jolla Blvd. is comfortable, spacious, and a perfect spot to curl up and read a book or catch up on work. Known for their ties with international coffee roasters and their dedication to serving green coffee, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters have been upping the coffee game since they opened in 2002. Their drip coffee is delicious, and their variety of international blends is spot on – from their Bird Rock Blend to a traditional French Roast and an organic roast straight from Colombia, you can’t go wrong with any of their roasted coffees."

"Beat the crowds into La Jolla and grab a cup of local coffee at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters. Take advantage of the calm morning conditions to snorkel or scuba off La Jolla Cove and experience the vibrant below-sea-level nature reserve of the La Jolla Underwater Park. This will prime your appetite for a fish taco plate at El Pescador Fish Market, in La Jolla Village."

"Tucked inside the Kababayan Bakery in Spring Valley, Snoice serves up pandesal ice cream sandwiches filled with flavors like iconic ube (yam), buko pandan (coconut, screwpine leaves), and mais queso (creamy corn, cheese, milk) alongside shaved snow and favorite Filipino dessert halo halo."

"Just off Orange Street you’ll find the best place to get gelato in Coronado. At Nado Gelato by Bottega Italiana you’ll be served the highest quality, artisan gelato in amazing flavors like crème brûlée, black sesame or a variety of seasonal fruit. Try up to four flavors in one cup or pile it all on a waffle cone for a highly Instagrammable sweet tweet!"

"This newest addition to the Cookie Monster menu is next level. This Monster Donut is an ice cream-stuffed donut where you can get multiple ice cream flavors. Cookie Monster serves some of the most colorful and delicious ice cream flavors."

"While Tribute may not get all the press that San Diego's other (also good) pizza spots get, this is perhaps the best pizza in the city. The name is literal—the restaurant pays "tribute" to famous pizza styles, from the New York slice to Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix, whose chef-owner has been a mentor to Tribute's chef-owner Matthew Lyons. Next to each pizza style is a specific mention of whom they're tipping their hat to, even another pizzeria in San Diego."

"Look beyond Tribute’s pizza menu and straight to the grill options if you’re looking for something special. Available Friday-Sunday, the restaurant serves up wood grilled items like honeynut squash, chicken wings, porchetta, wild Mexican shrimp and farmers market veggies. Tack on some cocktails to-go and you have yourself a full-fledged meal appropriate for any special occasion."

"A post shared by Tribute Pizza (@tributepizza) on Mar 3, 2019 at 5:57pm PST. This cozy family pizza place serves brunch, lunch, and dinner with a variety of choices for everyone in the family. Their kids’ menu is intended for those under the age of 10 and offers cheese pizza with an option to add pepperoni, mac and cheese, and vanilla soft serve for dessert."

"North Park’s Cantina Mayahuel serves a wider selection of Mexican spirits than you could ever try in a lifetime. Tequila, mezcal, sotol, raicilla, and bacanora, they have it all. Luckily for everyone, they also make really good homestyle Mexican food, which is a real lifesaver after more than a few drinks."
