Food Scene

Besides having great bagels, Bagels & Brew has tasty omelettes, and I also love their breakfast potatoes. My boys usually order the cinnamon chip or french toast bagels. One tip: If you are going for breakfast on Saturday morning, plan to wait a long time. There is a car show in the adjoining parking lots every Saturday morning that attracts significant foot traffic to the bagel shop. You can call ahead and place your order to avoid a long wait (949-521-6120). Or consider grabbing a coffee and checking out the car show!

This is a great place for martinis and appetizers. More of an adult hangout spot. They have a nice outdoor patio to enjoy good conversation on warm summer evenings.

Parks & Nature

This park is extremely close to our home and good for kids to play out on the expansive grassy field, in the large sand areas or on one of the playground sets. It's also a popular spot for locals to walk their dogs.

The closest grocery store to our house. This place has all the essentials, but does not have the goodies that Trader Joe's or Whole Foods do. Think large, corporate commercial chain. It's good for grabbing the essentials but does not have as many healthy and organic options.

A little on the pricy side, Whole Foods has higher end selections from meats to organic produce to fresh squeezed juices. It also has a bar and small restaurant on the premises. Very nice ambience.
