"Shipping is a terrible thing to do to vegetables. They probably get jet-lagged, just like people." - Elizabeth Berry I had a blog series going awhile back that I call San Diego Spotlight, where I highlight a local eatery. I'm big on dining at local places, and the idea with the series is to spread the love about local spots that I adore. It kind of fell off last year, but I want to revive the series & bring it back today! Every month or two I'll resume sharing the details about an awesome place to visit in the San Diego area - mostly in North County because that's where I live, but I'll also be sure to share a few more southern spots too.

San Diego Spotlight on Cafe Topes
Happy Friday friends! I'm here today with another post in my San Diego Spotlight series, where I highlight a local business that offers lots of deliciousness. Today the spotlight is on a breakfast & lunch spot in Carlsbad called Cafe Topes. Ever since I first found out about Cafe Topes and got to sample their signature cinnamon bun when I did the Carlsbad Food Tour last year, I've been itching to go back for brunch. With a style described as "American with a modern twist," Cafe Topes has been serving breakfast favorites to locals since 2013. The restaurant has a fun, modern feel to it, and one of the first things you spot when you walk in is a wall full of succulents. Open 7 AM to 2 PM every day except Monday, Cafe Topes has a nice sized patio so that you can enjoy ... [Read More]
