We go mostly for a cappuccino and the great fresh croissants or brioche at breakfast and amazing tarts and cakes in the afternoon. One time dinner was a bit slow, but it’s normally very good food. The french onion soup is so good.

Medical:
San Diego has amazing medical facilities. We hope you don’t need to use them. For Urgent Care we use Perlman Clinic. They have a number of facilities which are 15-20 minutes from here. There are also a few urgent care places in Pacific Beach. We just don’t have experience with them. They also have a TeleDoc function which is super. For Trauma, we use the Emergency Room at Scripps Hospital up on the hill in LaJolla. It is at 9888 Genesee Ave, San Diego, CA 92037
