Sugar & Scribe Bakery in Pacific Beach

While roaming about and enjoying the sunshine several days back, I stumbled upon a delightful treat (many, actually) tucked away in a little blue nook upon Garnet St. in Pacific Beach; a lovely neighborhood bakery called Sugar & Scribe.

                                             

While I enjoy just about anything so long as it’s sweet, I have a deep-rooted affinity for BAKED GOODS in particular. Yes, I had to capitalize that because that’s how much I love them. My favorite subtitle in my favorite category!

                                                       Some of the lovely goodies:

       

                                                        A few more of my faves:

       

      

I’m not one to be shy about cupcakes: I’ve been back several times since my first visit and each time proves to be just as delightful as the previous. In fact, I’ve introduced several of my friends to Sugar & Scribe and they are also in love.

Side note: While I love, love, love mini-cupcakes, I can’t forget to add that this bakery also serves incredible souffles, pies, tarts, cakes, breads & even soups!

       Just the other day I broke from my routine and tried a prosciutto quiche:

       

                                                             Highly Recommended!

Sugar & Scribe is located at 1420 Garnet Avenue in the Pacific Beach neighborhood of San Diego, California.   For further information and/or catering orders, visit them online at sugarandscribe.com or simply call (858) 274 1733.
