I am addicted to the peanut sauce that comes with their spring rolls. Also check out their new location on Niagra. A bit of a rowdy scene at night, but great food for a great price.

I literally live here-the best vegan cafe in San Diego is upstairs. Their biscuits + gravy in the AM are to die for. I always go for the greens, potatoes, tempe sausage, biscuits + gravy. Do some shopping downstairs after you eat and cook a great meal at home if you are feeling some down time. I am in here nearly every day, even if just for a kombucha! Sometimes there is live music on Sundays upstairs in the deli. Cute little outdoor patio upstairs as well. Good people watching.

Drinks & Nightlife
Hands down my favorite brewery in Ocean Beach. Keep an eye out for any events they may be hosting. Sometimes it is quiet in there and perfect for a mid day drink and conversation, other times the scene is a bit more lively! Very dog friendly :)

Short hikes along the coast. Or a great place to throw the ball for your dog. Great place to watch sunset. Also, if you surf-there are a handful of amazing breaks here. Not beginner friendly though.

Tons of trails, great views of San Diego at the top of some peaks. Just watch out for rattlesnakes.
