Local Eats: My 3 go-to*to-go desserts…

Let’s forget about the big franchises for a little bit and keep it local with these 3 amazing and delicious places.

Rose Donuts

5201 Linda Vista Rd Ste 100

San Diego, CA 92110

Open daily: 24/7

CASH ONLY

Donuts. Family run, been around for at least 10 years, they have great assortment of flavors, always fresh and fluffy, clean place, friendly staff, they also serve breakfast and they are not pricey. You have to try them out, you will not be sorry. I promise!

Dolci Mango

7521 Fay Avenue

La Jolla, CA 92037

Open daily: 8am-7pm

Frozen Yogurt. This might be a small franchise name, but the family that run it are super nice and will always greet you with a smile. I almost always stop by after Monday work (have to treat myself) to get their delish frozen yogurt (my current obsession). The place is always spotless and you will be surprised that they also have sushi, smoothies, European type sandwiches, breakfast menu and free wi-fi!
So stop by, try it out, bring a friend or your laptop and enjoy.

Cupcakes. This hidden small spot it’s a pleasure to find. I haven’t found a better (and I have looked for) red velvet cupcake. So I had to ask them to make me a red velvet cake for Thanksgiving dinner last year, my whole family and guests loved it. The other cakes and cupcakes are delicious too, but that red velvet cupcake makes me fall in love with life all over again.
Funny thing is that besides the sweets, you will also find Moroccan style food such as hummus, gyros, salads, and sandwiches, which are good but odd because it doesn’t go with their shop name. If you like red velvet, please do yourself a favor and go get yourself one. They are $4 dlls but they are pretty big and definitely worth it.
