 Gourmet sandwiches and more |
937 First Street San Diego, CA 92024 United States +1 760 436 3563 |
This popular cafe is located along a string of trendy shops in downtown Encinitas. It is an ideal stop for lunch during a leisurely shopping day. Try one of the gourmet sandwiches, such as the French Riviera (tuna, artichoke hearts, tomato, olives, red onion and oregano dressing). Other favorites include the Smoked Turkey Sandwich and Veggie Burger. Do not miss the Gelato and ice cream selection. A single scoop of Raspberry Sorbet or Cookies & Cream is a perfect ending to your meal. Credit cards are not accepted. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Ice cream and health food |
2913 State Street San Diego, CA 92008 United States +1 760 434 7616 |
Downtown Carlsbad hosts this mini-cafe, which offers an odd combination of ice cream treats and health-conscious entrees. Ice cream delights include sundaes, made with Dreyers ice cream, and fountain specialties. Try an Oreo Milkshake or a Root Beer Float. On the healthy side, this spot has a short list of salads and sandwiches. Consider the Veggie Burrito (organic beans and rice, cheese, avocado and salsa, served in a warm tortilla). Most guests eat outside, where patio tables are placed near a stone fountain, with a ceiling fan overhead. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Check out Coronado |
1201 First Street San Diego, CA 92118 United States +1 619 435 8895 |
Whether you arrive by car, ferry or water taxi, this casually upscale marketplace is as much a fun outing as a shopping spree. Filled with small shops, art galleries and restaurants, this is a great place to sample life on the small island of Coronado while finding that special homecoming gift. Meet friends for lunch at Bay Beach Cafe or cruise the island by bike after renting a "beach cruiser." Credit card acceptance varies by vendor. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Mission Hills taste treat |
3753 India Street San Diego, CA 92103 United States +1 619 295 9269 http://www.gelatovero.net/ |
Located in what some refer to as Mission Hills and others as Midtown, this well-established coffeehouse offers limited indoor seating, sidewalk seating or upstairs view seating. The bistro-like setting is almost always crowded inside. Many locals slip in here not only for the coffee and tea, but are also known to indulge in exotic flavors of creamy gelato. Coffees range from house to specialty blends. Delectable desserts are also available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Famous sweets |
643 Fifth Avenue San Diego, CA 92101 United States +1 619 234 2449 http://www.ghirardelli.com/ |
This bright, tiled ice cream parlor scoops out delights like "The Earthquake," an eight-scoop wonder designed to be shared by a lot of people, adorned with bananas, eight different toppings, whipped cream, nuts and cherries. Less vigorous appetites will probably be satisfied with a simple ice cream sundae or a cone. Alongside the parlor there is a small chocolate shop offering all of the favorite Ghirardelli varieties. Sidewalk tables make this a great rest stop on a warm day. Review © 2007, Wcities |
