Coffee Cup, San Diego

Located in the seaside neighborhood of La Jolla, the Coffee Cup Cafe offers a cleanly-designed, comfortable spot for diners to grab satisfying breakfast and lunch items. Owner Isabel designed the menu to include "power" items, like healthy scrambles, to start the day. Lunches here draw from her Latino roots, as well as the area's Thai and Japanese cuisines. Isabel plates up freshly-prepped breakfast and lunch tamales and chicken, brown rice, and crunchy veggies stir-fried in sesame ginger sauce. Sweet breakfast items like stacks of fluffy pancakes with berries and a variety of hot drinks make Isabel's menu a well-rounded one.
