BEST BREAKFAST SPOT

Open six days per week, Tuesday through Sunday, Casagrandes Delicatessen & Catering is the place to go when you have a big appetite. The Stockton restaurant has a reputation for both big portions and small budgets. Gorge on oversized pancakes, platefuls of omelets, and other breakfast staples. While Casagrandes is a newbie to our best of list, the establishment already has a solid local following, serving the Stockton community (and beyond) for more than a decade. 1910 Country Club Blvd., Stockton

From character-inspired birthday cakes to tiered and towering wedding desserts, Frosted Flour is a long-time Lodi favorite when it comes to event sweets. Made from scratch, Lisa Hassett is constantly impressing locals with her newest ideas that are anything but boring and always come with the Frosted Flour Co. twist! Stop in for a Nanaimo bar, boozy cupcakes, and colorful macarons. The bakery case is filled each morning with her painstakingly delicious (and adorable!) concoctions and tends to empty before closing each day. 904 W. Lodi Ave., Lodi
