  • Birdrock Coffee La Jolla, California

    Bird Rock Coffee Roasters is a stellar, cute, small town vibe, local coffee shop.

    They are known for their award winning organic coffee and trendy local atmosphere. They have unique drinks like: a mac nut latte, and my personal favorite, honey cinnamon latte. They offer a small selection of baked goods, not much gluten free stuff, and have almond milk!

  • Best Ice Cream – San Diego & Encinitas, Ca

    Jo Jo’s Creamery is the best ice cream in San Diego.

    Located in the Encinitas Lumber Yard, on Highway 101, this is a must stop, if you have a pallet for ice cream.

    937 S Coast Highway 101, Ste 106
    Encinitas, CA 92024 

    It’s a family owned business, with superior ice cream quality, organic ingredients, and smiley, friendly staff.

    Taste so good, with gluten free and vegan ice cream options, it’s sinless.

    Although I don’t personally do much dairy, I do love ice cream. Jo Jo’s creamery uses the best dairy products.  I never feel sick after consuming, and have no fear treating myself to their dessert. I love that they use organic Strauss Family Dairy products, have vegan and gluten free ice cream options, and seasonal flavors. It’s cute, classy, with small business vibes, and lots of delicious ice cream flavors!

    Jo Jo’s creamery has created a new, trendy way to consume dessert and enjoy ice cream, and cookies!

    They serve chocolate chip home baked cookies with every ice cream order. You can choose gluten free cookies or regular, and even pay $1 more to upgrade to a full cookie size. Their classy ambiance encourage a sinless trip to their unique ice cream store.

    Jo Jo’s Creamery prides themselves in being a place for people of all ages, “to gather and enjoy artisanal, homemade ice cream, with a chocolate chip cookie.”

    They will make your day sweeter, one scoop at a time!

    I bet you won’t be able to walk away with just one flavor. They offer many unique ice cream varieties, and vegan ice cream flavors, that will surely soothe your sweet tooth and tame your tummy. For vegans, Jo Jo’s creamery always has two different vegan flavors available. They mark all their flavors well, and specify what is gluten free, vegan, and dairy.

    Thank you Jo Jo’s Creamery for being my new, hip, healthy, and enjoyable ice cream joint! I love supporting local businesses, and nourishing the kid in me with a sinless ice cream cone!

    Warning: once you try their ice cream, you won’t be able to stay away!

    Kali Bliss Recommends:

    • Their very vanilla bean homemade ice cream is THE BEST.
    • I LOVE their mudpie flavor.
    • Do taste the mint cookies n’ cream
    • They have the best vegan chocolate I’ve ever tasted
    • Their peanut butter cup is also quite divine
    • If you like sweet and spicy, try the cayenne sea salt carmel, it’s different and very carmelly with a flair

    I love Jo Jo’s creamery because it is in the only ice cream shop in America where I have been able to get a homemade gluten free waffle cone.

    As an ice cream lover, and because I’m still a child at heart, I love going to Jo Jo’s to treat myself, enjoy fine high quality delicious ice cream, and never feel guilty indulging because of the good ingredients. Personally, I always get the cone, with as many flavors as I can 😉

    Take a trip to Jo Jo’s Creamery and enjoy an authentic and amazing ice cream experience that can serve any and every palette!

    See Jo Jo’s Creamery menu for current flavors too.

    Note: They are usually closed on Mondays, check their hours and schedule online to be sure though.

     

    Jo Jo’s ice cream was started by a mother and daughter who were both lawyers. They wanted to do something else with their life, and started this classy Encinitas ice cream shop!

    Let me tell you, it’s the best ice cream in San Diego, and North County!

  • Best Veggie Burger in San Diego

    Solace is one of the best restaurants in Encinitas.

    No joke, they have the best food, and with a sustainable and healthy twist. You don’t feel bad indulging and having a nice meal for yourself.

    Though the menu is small, they have excellent choices and put their own twist on American fine classy dining. I recommend Solace to anyone who wants to a great atmosphere, excellent food, superior wine, and a place to feel good, and have a nice meal. Their staff is super friendly and always welcoming. They even have live music certain nights. I won’t forget, their happy hour menu is affordable, tasty, and some of the best deals in North County, San Diego.

    I have a Solace addiction. No joke, I love their veggie burger. It is one of the best meals I’ve ever had. It’s healthy, filling, and so dam tasty. I’ll warn you, once you try it, you’re usually hooked. Although it’s mostly gluten free, it does have a new bread crumbs that help bind it all together. Solace has the best gluten free buns, and many options for picky eaters or people with sensitivities. Their veggie quinoa burger always hits the spot, and perfectly fills me up. It comes with a side of house made french fries. Of course, there is always the option to sub a salad or steamed veggies (which I recommend). Their french fries are on the healthier side, however they do have a bit of added sugar, even though they are freshly made in house.

    Regardless, it’s the best dam burger you will ever experience. Be sure to add avocado!

     

    San Diego is known for it’s healthy eats and good local vibes. However, Solace goes above and beyond. I’ve never experienced a better dining place or fine restaurant to have a meal. Believe me, it’s worth the extra buck. I recommend Solace to all people, and especially hiiiiiighly recommend the veggie quinoa burger.

    Go on an empty stomach, and be prepared to have the best meal of your life! No joke.

    Nom nom nom. It really taste so good! Pair it with a glass of their house Chardonnay or European red wine blend.
