Editor’s pick: You know local coffee shops are our jam, right? ☕
Every time I’m in La Jolla in the morning, I make my way to Brick & Bell Cafe, a cute little neighborhood shop on Avenida de La Playa with great coffee and breakfast sandwiches. It’s the perfect spot to get caffeinated before or after a walk on the beach. Missed yesterday’s newsletter? Music to your ears — we jammed through 23 concerts coming to San Diego this year. 🎶 |
