Brick & Bell Cafe at 928 Silverado St in the La Jolla Village, 92037, has been the neighborhood's early-morning anchor since 2003. The cafe house-roasts its own beans and reportedly sells hundreds of thousands of scones per year — the maple walnut version is the one to order. Sandwiches hit the mark too: turkey avocado on ciabatta, smoked salmon bagel, and a rotating soup like Italian wedding are all lunch staples. Acai bowls and a breezy patio round out the offer. Doors open at 5:30am daily.
