TK Donuts

★★★★★ 4.7 (163) • $

"Super nice donut place next to Clairemont Coffee. I grabbed a bagel with cream cheese and avocado before my meeting. It was so delicious!!! I love the heat up the bagel, it's crunchy outside and soft inside. Also they put a lot of cream cheese and avocado inside. While I was eating there, a lot of people come in to buy donuts in a Thursday afternoon, I bet their donuts are delicious."

Average_joes_burgers

★★★★☆ 4 (14)

"Hey folks, don't sleep on this food truck! You are missing out. To all the haters that didn't like this place before, you need to go back and check it out. Denzel, the new owner, not only touts incredible burgers and chicken sandwiches, but is an exceptional human being. We visit his truck just to chat with him because he's such a cool ass dude. Every time Denzel and his truck are in the hood, we walk over for a meal. I've tried multiple things on the menu... at least three of the burgers and one chicken sandwich: The Bishop. It'll make you want to go to church. The fries are tasty with his special seasoning, and something i'm not sure people know is that the buns he uses for his sandwiches and burgers are all gluten-free. He gets them from a local bakery and they are better than most. Definitely one of the better buns I've ever had. Seriously. I'm from Chicago, so I know great food and this is where it's at!"

Sidny's Bagels & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.7 (192) • $

"Wish they had a drive thru. They offer up delicious food that is reasonably priced and very filling. Parking is easy and there are tons of dining tables and chairs available to sit and enjoy your meal. If you're in a hurry, call ahead because they do tend to get busy especially during the weekends. If you don't want a donut and want something different than Panera, this is a good place to choose. I'll be back soon. If you see me, don't be afraid to say hi!"

Memo's Bagel Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (254) • $

"Memos Bagels is fantastic! We had the lox lunch plate and it was delicious! The lox was so flavorful, the homemade bagels were so delicious and they even have their own smoked salmon cheese cream! Besides bagels they have a variety of other sandwiches that look great too! Try it!"

Plaza Donuts & Yogurt

★★★★☆ 4 (61)

"After having lunch nearby, my friend and I walked over here to grab some boba drinks. I opted for the taro one and they got a coffee? flavored one. The drinks were icy and refreshing! I think they are known more for their donuts, so maybe I'll try a few next time!"

Val's Coffee Corner

★★★★★ 4.8 (41)

"Val's easily serves the best açaí in San Diego! They are currently located next to Kilowatt Brewery in OB (on Cable near Newport).Your can order their bowls in three size options 12, 16 and 20 ounces. Pictured here is a 16oz bowl. The original açaí bowl comes with blueberries, strawberries, bananas, toasted coconut, and chia seeds. It's perfection! I also tried a Vietnamese iced coffee. Strong, sweet, and delicious! The staff at Val's are also super helpful and friendly. Next time you're in Ocean Beach, do yourself a favor and support Val's!"

Spill the Beans Coffee and Bagels

★★★★☆ 4.4 (1035) • $$

"Mixed-bag experience. Very unlikeable cashier guy. Gave me deer-in-headlights eyes followed by a "what?" when he couldn't hear my order (it's a bit echoey inside). Handed me my order with a monotone and rushed "enjoy." Stark contrast to the lady who later held the cashier role as she was friendly and sociable to other patrons.On the bright side, quite tasty bagel stuff here! Scrumptious crunchy strips of peppered bacon in the B.B.L.(t) sando. French toast bagel with bananas foster spread is a flavor wombo-combo, though I really wished that the spread was much thicker and sturdier (it was pretty messy to eat).Well-bodied and indulgent (but not overly sweet) la vida mocha. Notably strong too. O.T.P. cold brew was heavily watered down.Ehhh wanted to be part of the hype train for this spot but overall my visit was rather lukewarm."

Memo’s Golden Bagels

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (26)

"I am not sure if this Memo's if is affiliated with the Memo's Bakery in Rancho San Diego, the lady at the counter said it was, but my first experience here is not up to par with the level quality I receive at the Memo's in Rancho San Diego. For example, I ordered the breakfast bagel with scrambled eggs, ham, and cheese on a Bialy Bagel and a cup of coffee. The breakfast bagel was okay, hence the three stars, but it could be much better with some easy upgrades. First, they not mix the cheese with the eggs. It was hardly noticeable. I could not taste it. When you put a cheese on a hot sandwich one has not see it beautifully melting on and down the sides of the ingredients of the sandwich. I would suggest they offers slices of cheese like Provolone, Cheddar, Swiss, and Pepper Jack etc., and place the cheese right on top of that pipping hot egg or ham, so that it melts into goodness into the sandwich. They also consider putting some kind of spread on the bagel too. On a good note, they put a good amount of ham into the breakfast bagel. Service was friendly enough, but it should be more friendly and welcoming. I like to see smiles where I spend my money."

Rb Deli

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (22)

"RB Deli sits below street level where the rooftops of the business area it resides under is eye-level so you most definitely won't be able to see it if you're just driving by. Drive down the ramp to the various businesses in the lot and you'll see it on the right with the red awnings. Because of the location, this place caters to the surrounding businesses in the area and fortunately for me, my office building is right up the street from it. The menu is what you'll typically see in a business/office building location. From a breakfast burrito, bagels and toast, to hot and warm sandwich options for lunch. You won't find any special, housemade/craft sauces in their menu items but that's expected. I tried the Turkey California on sourdough with double meat and the heft in that sammie was just what I wanted. It was a good tasting sandwhich. I also ordered a breakfast burrito on the second visit and I wasn't really expecting much but it sure was delicious. The savory bits of gooey cheese, ham and bacon paired well with the warm and soft breakfast potatoes and flour tortilla. The burrito wasn't as large as what I'm used to but that's probably a good thing since I'd hate to have a morning food coma in the office.The interior has lots of space and has a very inviting atmosphere. I've yet to enjoy a dine-in experience since my office is so close but rest-assured I shall someday soon :)"

Golden Bagel Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.5 (279) • $

"I used to come to this place all the time growing up in the neighborhood and it was phenomenal, I've seen their reputation plummet when the new owners took over but I was visiting my mom and needed some breakfast so I thought I would check it out. After reading some more reviews it appears the ownership changed again. Have to say, I'm not disappointed. We got an open faced Lox on an everything bagel and Golden Works on sourdough and everything was great. They both had fresh and well toasted bagels, golden works had thick bacon not the paper thin microwave crap, egg was fluffy and flavorful with well melted cheese and PLENTY of meat you can barely fit it in your mouth lol. I asked for no onion on the lox and they accommodated no problem. $23 for 2 sandwiches so prices have gone up a lot but that's everywhere you eat out now. Hoping to see this level of quality next time I visit."

Big City Bagels Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (15) • $$

"Got a love streetside cafés in their location this place had a really cool seating in their menu was really awesome for a quick bite and for airport coffee? They were incredibly affordable but the cash in a brace to wear extremely friendly and very helpful and as a tourist I would stop here just to visit them but I had to have an iced decaf latte just as an excuse to try their coffee.I really enjoyed my iced latte with sugar in the raw melted over the top I found the price very agreeable for an airport. I Thanks again guys!"

Donut Factory

★★★★☆ 4.2 (161) • $

"This place SLAPS.This local family ran donut shop is my go to for donuts and cinnamon rolls. I'm a cinnamon roll aficionado and these are always so homemade and delicious. The thing that really makes their cinnamon rolls amazing is the fact you can taste the butter in each bite.Their donuts are also phenomenal. This place has perfected the light and fluffy donut consistency. Every time you rip one in half it's pull apart-ness is like a fluffy hug. I'm a long John fan so that or the chocolate twists are always my go to.They have 15 donut holes for 2.99, amazing smoothies (we got the banana strawberry with boba - yes they have boba), and breakfast bagels.They also have numerous drinks inside including coffee, energy drinks, sodas, etc.Parking sucks around here but thankfully this shopping center has a lot. Because of that parking has never been a nuisance.All in all this is the local mom and pop donut place you wanna go to when you want good old fashioned donuts without the fuss."

San Diego's Finest Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.1 (249)

"I was looking for a donut shop in the Kearny Mesa area to spoil my team with donuts. Thanks to Yelp, I found SD's Finest Donuts which was open mid-day.The donuts here are really good, especially the buttermilk and Boston Crème donuts. Although I didn't spot any "specialty" or "extra" donuts like cronuts, etc, they do have a nice selection cannolis and cake pops. The donuts are competitively priced to a typical donut shop. The employee hooked me up with an extra donut. She was fast and friendly.There is a small parking lot and street parking. I can imagine this place is poppin' early in the morning."

Scrimshaw Coffee

"Very cool space to work and study with a delicious cup of coffee. I had an iced americano, and it was so good!!! Their coffee is so flavorful. I loved it. The space is open and nice, seat is comfortable. Service is very good and friendly."

Gold Coast Bagel

★★★★☆ 4.1 (350) • $

"This is going to be a bit of a specific review, but I just need to call it out. We came here for breakfast with my sister-in-law and had a delightful time. The staff was friendly, the inside decor of the location was charming and inviting, and the other customers were friendly and understanding when our 3 kids wanted nothing more than to just explore despite our best efforts to keep them calm and in line.I wasn't in the mood for anything beyond tea, but when I saw they had a banana nut muffin that was massive, I had to pick one up. I absolutely loved it. However, it is because I am part of (what I assume is) a minority that loves banana taffy taffy. This muffin tasted so much like that amazing candy. You can tell that they're using artificial banana flavoring to boost the taste of the muffin. I loved it. So much so that I could say it's one of my favorite muffins I've ever had. But, I also will admit that it's a taste that a lot of people will not enjoy. But if you're in my camp, then know that Gold Coast Bagel has a delicious breakfast treat waiting for you.I've already asked my sister-in-law to pick up a few of these the next time she drives up north to visit."

P. L. Bagels

★★★★☆ 4.2 (306)

"This bagel shop is a hidden gem in San Diego. It's a small family owned business.They have fresh bagels. They close at 1:00 PM. They ran out of their bagels very fast.The place is located in a tiny plaza. There are limited parking spaces shared with other businesses in the same plaza, but it was very easy for us to find a spot. The place itself is very clean and simple. They have indoor seating.All the employees were very nice and friendly. The service was fast.We chose:-Half a dozen of Bagel - Salmon Spread with red onion and tomato in a plain bagel.The salmon spread Bagel was flavorful and delicious. The bagels had perfect chewy texture and was fresh. They accept cash only. For sure I will be back in my next visit to San Diego"

Marigold Bagels

★★★★★ 4.8 (14)

"Marigold bagels are one of the only I can actually compare to New York bagels. Consistent, fresh, unique, fluffy, buttery, I could go on and on raving about these bagels. You can find them at some farmers markets or follow their instagram and catch one of the pick up/online ordering days. One of my favorites is the Za'atar bagel - added lebneh on it, and it was chefs kiss! They also have delicious cream cheese options. Try them out and thank me later."

Mary's Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.4 (725) • $

"Came here on a weeknight... there were a few other customers coming n going. Clean and casual, kind lady behind the counter was so sweet. Hehe. The donuts are classic and tasted fresh. So many to choose from, even at 8pm on a weeknight. We purchased a box, mixed selection, and they kept well enough for a couple days.Definitely a local spot to check out if in the area."

Intazza Mug & Grub

★★★★★ 4.7 (52)

"Truly an underrated cafe and grub area in the Golden Hill Neighborhood! I wanted to eat breakfast and wanted more than a pastry but also I didn't want to commit to an extremely brunch focused restaurant. Intazza fit the description I was looking for and we dined out on their spacious patio. We moved inside later on when it became windy and there was still many seats available. You enter and place your order at the counter, receive a table number, and then choose your seat. I ordered a Bees Knees Latte, Hot Mess, and Wakey Bakey Flatbread. Bees Knees Latte (4/5): Cinnamon, honey, and espresso! It could use less cinnamon and more honey, because I had to cough every time some went up. Hot Mess Tater Tots (4.5/5): Non-greasy fried potatoes that were super crispy. A savory soyrizo, sour cream, jalapeños, and cheese, and a fried egg made this dish filling and worth it. Wakey Bakey Flatbread (4.5/5): Delicious pesto is smothered on the base of the flatbread. With eggs and cheese, this protein filled choice was a great breakfast option and shareable. There was so much basil and plentiful tomatoes as well! It was also a beautiful day out which made the experience of dining here way better. If you're not looking to fully have a hands on brunch experience, Intazza is your go to. They have great coffees and a great spacious area to read, study, and dine. Only positive things to say about Intazza!"

"Came back here around 9:30AM and it was a bit busy but I was happy to see so many savory bagel options still left. I didn't even know they had bacon and white cheddar bagel so of course I had to get it at the cashier's recommendation. The bagel actually had bits of bacon in the bagel you can see popping out as I was biting into it. I had it with garlic cream cheese and it was absolutely delicious! The bagel was lighted toasted and the cream cheese was very creamy. It was the best bagel I've had in San Diego in a while. I"m coming back again!"

Golden Bagel

"Every time I'm in town I stop here for breakfast. Their bagels are delicious, warm and reasonably priced. I had the Golden breakfast bagel with bacon. Really good and they slice it in half ! I wish I had ordered the bagel toasted. The shop is conveniently located next to a chain coffee shop."

Donut Touch

★★★★☆ 3.9 (336) • $$

"This place is called Donut Touch but they've also got some delicious bagels here too. I would say they have the best bagels in Mira Mesa. I got a jalapeño cheddar bagel and I loved that it had so many jalapeños on it. Most places only have 1 or 2 jalapeños on there which sometimes fall off while they toast the bagel, but not here! The cream cheese was great as well. They also sell sandwiches here and lots of drinks. Service is super friendly. They seem to be understaffed though and it gets busy here in the mornings. Plenty of parking."

Donutopolis

★★★★☆ 4.3 (258) • $

"This is a newish donut shop that reopened under new ownership. Small business owner and has gotten a lot of publicity in the area so decided to check it out with my BFF. We walked in and there was another party ordering donuts. As the other party was paying, we decided to look at all the donuts available for sale. We opted to buy a dozen donuts for less than $15. There was a variety that we chose and we made sure we chose donuts that were unique. We got a few maple flavored goodies (donut, twist, and bar), red velvet, sprinkles, sugar donut and twist, strawberry filled, chocolate and maple swirl. The donuts were good and the service was friendly. They even make a donut cake for birthdays. For 1 layer I believe it's $15 but for a second it's $20. The guy showed me a photo of a huge birthday donut cake he had just made for pick up. Nice alternative vs an actual cake. Great small business to support in the area."

The Cliffs Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (341) • $$

"A hidden gem! I love this little cafe tucked away in Ocean Beach. The food is really good, definitely one of the better omelettes I've had. The coffee is also really great, I tried the cinnamon honey latte. They have a solid menu with lots of different bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and even a breakfast burrito. The staff is very friendly and sweet which is always a plus. There's some indoor and outdoor seating and it seems like you can usually find a spot. Lots of people were getting grab&go orders too. I would definitely come back to try a bagel breakfast sandwich or open faced bagel."

"While walking around Seaport Village one morning I saw a long line for this coffee stand. I looked them up on yelp and saw all the great reviews. Later that afternoon as the sun went down, I had a hankering for a coffee so headed to this place. No line! But also no bagels (a big sold out sign was posted) which was no surprise that late in the day. No worries, I was just after one of their famed coffee drinks.The personable and affable barista took my order for a medium-sized, hot Blondie Mocha. What's in the cup? White chocolate sauce, brown sugar-macadamia syrup, espresso, and milk. In no time at all my Blondie Mocha was presented to me at their side pick-up window. I walked over to a nearby outdoor seating area and swooned over this super-delicious drink. Now I get it. Even though I was able to walk up to the counter this time to order I would not hesitate to stand in a long line to get another one of these!"

Nomad Donuts

★★★★☆ 4 (1315) • $$

"Probably the best bagel spot in San Diego. My roommate and I love coming here for their sandwiches, so many delicious unique flavors. They also have brunch drinks, so you can really customize your breakfast experience. The service is always great, the people behind the counter are super helpful. There's a great little side patio if you want to sit outside on a lovely San Diego morning."

New York Bagels

★★★★☆ 4 (307) • $

"Bagels aren't always on my top of the list when a snack or meal is on my agenda, but that may have just changed. I've been working around RB for over a decade, and I've only eaten their bagels when a coworker randomly brings bagels from here. I've always enjoyed them every time. Very recently, I figured it was my turn to bring the bagels, and so after many years, I stepped foot here first thing in the morning and ordered a dozen bagels for my team at work. I ordered a variety of bagels from wheat, plain, blueberry, cheese, everything, and cinnamon sugar. There were no leftovers, so it was safe to say everyone enjoyed them. I bought smoked salmon, honey walnut, and plain cream cheese. All of which I've had previously and had again and rest assured...all are delicious. The cinnamon sugar bagel paired the best with the honey walnut cream cheese though (pro-tip and you're welcome). I also tried their Crispy Bacon breakfast bagel and they were able to hollow-out the bagel at my request. Solid breakfast bagel.The staff are really friendly and committed to helping you out despite being indecisive. Of the many bagel spots around, I may just stick to this place...even for when I go on my own whim and not only when I have it randomly at work thru a generous coworker:)"

Java Earth Coffee

"Cool spot to pick up a quick breakfast and/or espresso or hang out and work in the sun. Plenty of inside and outside seating. Staff is super friendly. They can be bz bz bz at times but if you order via internet, they are very consistent with having your order rdy when you get there."

Baked Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (104)

"Stopped into Baked to grab some dinner for takeout. I had primarily known this location to be a breakfast spot so was pleasantly surprised to see them offering pizza/flatbread options for dinner hours. The selection of items premade was plentiful and you also have the option of having them make a fresh whole flatbread but that will take a bit longer. We tried the Vegetarian, Meatlover and Multi-cheese options. Ended up with leftovers for the next day. I'd definitely suggest giving them a shot for a reasonably priced quick meal. Also, the service was prompt and friendly."

Crown Point Coffee

"This became our morning spot every day of our short vacation here in San Diego. Very good coffee, wonderful smoothies, quick and friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere. Our daughter enjoyed using their chalk while we waited for our refreshments."
