It’s a beautiful day in Southern California. Soak up the sunshine at Del Mar Highlands Town Center.

Whether you’re catching up with old friends around the table or getting ready for summer, Del Mar Highlands Town Center will have you covered. From bikinis to sunblock and cool summer cocktails ready to toast to the sunset, a wide array of shops and eateries await.

Laughs and fun flood the brunch table at Davanti Enoteca. Enjoy patio dining where you’ll find the perfect mix of sunshine and a summer breeze or dine indoors and enjoy the scents of delicious brunch dishes coming straight from their authentic Italian kitchen. We recommend starting with their Bloody Mary topped with all the fixing including their signature thick-cut bacon. Follow it up with their popular Aperol spritz paired with Ricotta Pancakes.

Continue to enjoy the fresh air as you walk to Bluemercury to get The Vacation Edit, a limited edition exclusive set containing sunscreen, self-tanner, and skin-refreshing essentials to help you get that summer glow. If you’re looking for a quick service instead, head to Restore Hyper Wellness + Cryotherapy and schedule a HydraFacial® that will clear your pores and blemishes to leave you looking and feeling more radiant than ever.

If you are looking for a fun, laid-back summer lunch or dinner, check out Cross Street Chicken and Beer for mouth-watering Korean fried chicken and a selection of 20 beers on tap. A brand-new component that makes the Del Mar location unique is the Asian-inspired cocktail list. The list features classics with added Asian spirits and ingredients including Japanese whiskey, black sesame, ube, Jasmine tea, matcha, and even boba. Recognized as one of the hottest cocktail bars in San Diego by Eater in May 2022, this new restaurant is a must-try alongside the Center’s highly acclaimed Sky Deck, which has been called one of the best dining destinations in the nation by Fodor’s Travel Guide.

Worth a visit all for itself, experience locally owned and operated Batch & Box cookies, created with love from one of our very own Carmel Valley moms turned entrepreneur. Tip: Take a box of six home and don’t forget to include the Cocoa PB, a decadent dark chocolate dough with warm gooey peanut butter morsels. Your munchkins at home will be almost as ecstatic as you!

After that, meander to the many shops to update your wardrobe for the summer season. Shop at little APPLE for your new favorite sun hat or summer sundress that’ll be “Instagram-gold” or visit locally owned and operated Tucci Boutique, to get first-hand wardrobe styling for that sunny destination.

Whether you’re shopping for new clothes and accessories, cooling down with an ice-cold treat, or meeting friends for food and drinks, Del Mar Highlands Town Center has everything you need to make it your best summer yet.
