This La Jolla bakery and brunch spot was, as described by so many favorites lists, exceptional. 

Welcomed by exquisite smells, you’ll love the fresh bakery items (croissants of all flavors and more) and diverse breakfast menu ranging from the most delicious scrambled eggs to a variety of eggs Benedict options to name a few. The cupcakes will catch your kids' eyes so be prepared, they are both delicious and beautiful like art creations.  Outside seating is available (parking lot style) or grab and go enjoy at the beach! 

In addition to breakfast and bakery options, Sugar & Scribe has California favorites like salmon, salads, and other healthy lunch specials. 

The outdoor patio is dog friendly and perfect for enjoying the beautiful weather. 

If you’re looking for a California juicing experience, Nekter across the street is also fantastic.
