San Elijo Hills

• Isabell Briens French Pastry Cafe, 1200 Elfin Forest Road East
  Right on Harmony Grove loop. Coffee drinks & meals. Note: I'm a carnivore but every time I stop here I get their outstanding vegetarian sandwich on sourdough...lots of fuel for the ride back home! Get there before 2pm on schooldays when the school unloads on them.

Leucadia

• Pannikin, 510 N Coast Highway 101
  Classic spot (old train station), lots of outdoor seating, coffee drinks, sweets & meals, on average the best-looking servers in town (with Java Depot at a close 2nd; adds to the relaxed atmosphere, no?)

Encinitas

• St. Tropez Bistro, 947 S Coast Highway 101
  Large outdoor patio, coffee, sweets & meals...no wonder they thrive right next to a Starbucks

• Java Depot, 243 N Coast Highway 101 ★★★★★
  The most popular cyclist eatery in town; coffee, smoothies, sweets, meals. They have supported SDBC for years so be sure to thank Bryan Fuller (the owner, tall guy) if you see him there. Be there on Saturday mornings when it gets flooded with local cyclists starting at about 10 am.

Del Mar

• Stratford Court Cafe, 1307 Stratford Court
  Just a block off the main drag; large patio, coffee & meals
• Starbucks, 1435 Camino Del Mar
  Limited outdoor seating, but if you grab a table it's very central and decent for people-watching (i.e. cosmetic surgery-spotting)

La Jolla

• Squires Cafe & Deli, 8080 La Jolla Shores Drive
  Indoor & outdoor seating, coffee & full deli, tasty homemade apple pastries, close to beach

Ocean Beach "OB"

• Newsbreak Coffee & Cafe, 1959 Abbott Street
  Coffee & meals, right on the scenic path through OB; you can lean your bike up against the window area to keep an eye on it while you eat inside or outside

San Diego

• College Area: Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe/Cafe, 6794 University Avenue
  Coffee shop & bike shop in one; you don't have to go to Austin for this experience!

Coronado

• Kaffeen's, 1201 1st Street
  Grab a cup of Joe and enjoy the outdoor atmosphere before grabbing the ferry back to the mainland or riding down the strand.
