What people say, in short
Most people recommend Azucar, a small bakery and cafe on Newport Avenue in Ocean Beach, and several praise its coffee and pastries. One diner still returns for pastries after moving away, one says they order a milk coffee there instead of a latte, and one suggests picking up coffee and pastries before a Sunset Cliffs walk. It also has a Pacific Beach shop, and the main caveat comes from one commenter who left that shop because the lines were so long.
