Spice & Rice Thai Kitchen, 7734 La Jolla, California. What I like the most about this place: the food.
Benihana, 755 Raintree Dr, Carlsbad California, website: benihana.com .

Most French Bakeries (Boulangeries) will have baguettes, rustic, and other types of breads that are all vegan in principle… In fact, most traditional French & European style bread is vegan but it’s important to ask as you order… So your nearest, locally owned, artisan, friendly neighborhood bakery will probably be your best option!
