Local Spots – Encinitas & Leucadia, CA

Dec 4

Our stomping grounds.

Encinitas and Leucadia are simply two of my favorite places in coastal North County San Diego. From the beaches to the shops to the cafes, you really can’t lose if you’re planning to spend a day here. I wanted to share some of my favorite go-to places and activities to do.

FOOD & DRINK

Nectarine grove

The perfect lunch spot, right on the PCH. Walk to th ocean after if you want or just hang out on the patio and soak up the sun. Their healthy menu is diverse and locally sourced.

Just Peachy Market (Grocery)

Fresh fruits and veggies everywhere the eye can see. My favorite spot for local produce!!

Chiko

The best of Chinese Korean fusion. Tbh its the only Chinese korean fusion I’ve ever tried, but I could die happy knowing that.

Herb and Sea

Chic dining and drinks in a space that welcomes social interaction. The music vibes are always elite and the menu is… chef’s kiss.

The Taco Stand

Not for the ones who don’t like standing in line. There is a reason people line up for this spot. If you get lucky and can avoid the line down the block, consider this spot a must-try if you’re in town.

Seaside Market (Grocery, also technically in Cardiff)

It’s like a small-scale WholeFoods but with a local twist. Grab a made to order sandwich or

Leucadia Pizza

The flagship location for this popular pizza spot. From lobster pizza to your classic favs, it’s my favorite in the vicinity.

Harumama

I love Ramen. Really, I love anything with noodles and these ones always leave me in a food coma.

Temaki Sushi

With only sushi bar seating, get ready to order one of everything off the simple and easy-to understand menu, Everything is so fresh and the happy hour is a MUST.
