The most So-Cal place you will ever go. Fantastic all-vegan menu with phenomenal desserts, served in the same space as an aerial yoga studio, on a rooftop with stunning views of the ocean and La Jolla. On the top floor, above the Pharmacy. One of the best vegan breakfasts in the city.

Fantastic seafood taco shop. Made it onto Yelp's top 50 best reviewed restaurants in the country a few years ago. Deserves it. Best seafood tacos I've ever had. No outdoor seating (take your tacos to the beach, which is a few blocks away!). Often a long line, so go during off-hours.

Nice local coffeeshop, plenty of seating, great wifi. Good sandwiches in addition to coffee drinks. This is where I go when I want to work on my laptop for a few hours. Check out the boutique next door for excellent locally-made crafts and gifts.

Not in the neighborhood, but worth the trip. Most unique (and excellent) vegan restaurant you'll ever go to. Also a fantastic bar with unusual cocktails. Worth it just for the decorations, which are....different. Order the Seitan Skewers as an appetizer, and check out the bathrooms. Oh, also an amazing vegan brunch menu.

Fig Tree Cafe Pacific Beach

This hard-to-find spot has the best thai food in the area, and really nice ambience. It's tucked inside a residential neighborhood where you wouldn't expect a restaurant to be. I recommend that Prik King (green beans).

Drinks & Nightlife
Basically an absinthe and wine bar with tapas and live music every night. Go for absinthe, papas bravas, great romantic ambience and jazz music. Don't order the sangria. Excellent place to go for drinks and music after dinner at Ambrogio15 across the street.

Shopping
Really well-curated boutique that sells jewelry, crafts, and homewares all made by local artists. Everything is well-priced. It's the perfect place to get a thoughtful gift for someone back home, between $10-$50.

Essentials
Pretty decent grocery store with good produce (including organic), and lots of frozen foods. They carry fresh bread from Bread & Cie, and they have a big selection of wine and beer. A little pricier than Sprouts or Vons, but not bad considering that I can walk there in my neighborhood.

Takes credit cards, open until 10pm, lots of machines, wifi, and TVs. Next door to a nail salon (so you can pamper yourself while you do your laundry), and a variety of coffeeshops and restaurants.

Entertainment & Activities
You can reserve seating. It's in a mall that has plenty of great restaurant options. Try the gelato that's right at the bottom of the escalator to the theaters.

Super fancy movie theater with reclining seats, and a full menu you can order from in the theater itself. More expensive than other theaters, but a nice indulgence when you want to have fresh-squeezed green juice and shishito peppers to snack on during your movie.

Old-timey amusement park on the beach, with rickety old roller coaster and funnel cakes. CLASSIC! Great as part of a day spent strolling along Mission Beach, which has some excellent restaurants, bars and coffeeshops. Don't forget to check out the walk on the bay-side as well, which is beautiful, and more peaceful than the beach-side.

Very easy hike. As the name suggests, the time to go is around sunset, when the sun lights up the colorful cliffsides.
