After basking in some morning sunshine in Pacific Beach this past weekend, starved and adequately toasty, we stumbled upon the charming Cafe 976, located a few blocks from the beach. Set in what used to be a 1920’s home then a school then an antique store (!), this restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, smoothies, coffee, and plentiful workspace. Seriously, nearly half the patrons were pounding away on their MacBooks.
This place is definitely a hidden gem, but I can’t decide what I love more: the rose-filled garden outdoor seating or the fact that their vegetarian sandwich actually contains so many veggies. Hey, other restaurants, lettuce and tomatoes does not a veg sandwich make.
Here are some snaps from Sunday lunch:
Hi! I just found your blog looking around in Pinterest for ideas of places to go in San Diego and I’ve been browsing and browsing for an hour, I LOVE it! I can’t believe you’ve been living here for only a year and a half and have put so much of San Diego in your blog. I’ve been in San Diego for 3 years now, time flies! And I have had a love-hate relationship with it as well (I came from LA), so I love big cities but I also love the green and outdoor of San Diego. Anyways, just wanted to say hi and I’ll be coming to visit often! I love to share San Diego places too although don’t get to share them so often. Nice to meet you!! :)
Thank you so much, Dariela! I’m so happy to hear you’re liking what you see. I’m a bit of an explorer by nature, so I like to cover ground quickly :) And I totally understand how you feel as someone who used to live in a big city but now lives in America’s biggest small city, as I like to think of it. Nice to meet you, too!
