Gourmet products local specialties and wines South Coast

This pretty brick house, which stands out from the surrounding buildings, is a La Jolla institution. Its specialty: scones, the original Scottish bread rolls that are almost as popular in North America as they are in the UK. Usually prepared "plain", Brick & Bell Cafe successfully revisits them with chocolate chips, maple syrup with walnuts or pumpkin. Also on the menu: paninis, as well as an interesting selection of breakfasts, coffees and desserts.

A veritable Balboa Island institution, this shop is home to the original frozen banana, which is covered in peanut, almond, Oreo and honey-flavored granola. You'll also find delicious doughnuts, frosted cheesecake, muffins, cinnamon rolls, milkshakes, smoothies... In short, a sweet-lover's paradise. To enjoy all this, continue on to S. Bay Front, with its sunny benches.
