I like this location because it’s a great stop for coffee after a walk through Balboa Park. Grab dessert next door at Extraordinary Desserts or hop into Thread + Seed for shopping.

You’ll probably find yourself in a long line, but the location is beautiful and the coffee + eats are real good. If you’re a walker, this is a great halfway point to our Hillcrest Farmer Market on Sundays.
