I like this location because it’s a great stop for coffee after a walk through Balboa Park. Grab dessert next door at Extraordinary Desserts or hop into Thread + Seed for shopping.

You’ll probably find yourself in a long line, but the location is beautiful and the coffee + eats are real good. If you’re a walker, this is a great halfway point to our Hillcrest Farmer Market on Sundays.

It’s my favorite clothing shop in town located on Park in University Heights where you can shop, eat, and drink the day away. Also located in walking distance to Trolley Barn Park if you want to chill outside and have a picnic. Checkout the Normal Heights location or their stall at Sea Hive Station too.
