About us

Nomad is an independent restaurant serving breakfast and lunch in San Diego’s North Park neighborhood. We specialize in artisanal donuts, Montreal-style bagels and sandwiches – and supporting our community as much as we can.

And we’ve been at it since 2014, when we opened our first (and tiny!) donut shop on 30th Street. Three years later, with lines out the door and finding ourselves in need of more space, we opened our flagship location on a busy corner of University Avenue in the heart of hipster North Park.

In 2017, we debuted a new product near and dear to our heart: bagels inspired by the renowned shops of Montreal – and just like in those shops, our bagels are made from scratch and boiled in agave-sweetened water before being baked to perfection in Nomad’s custom-built oven.

Today, Nomad is a full-fledged bagel and donut shop with an impressive selection of breakfast and lunchtime sandwiches, artisanal donuts (many that are vegan!) and coffee, local craft beers and unique products from small-volume makers in our community who we happily support.

We find joy in all flavors, from the exotic and unusual to well-known classics. Nomad’s menu changes monthly, seasonally and by popular demand. And our donuts and bagels are made fresh from scratch, every day.

You may even catch Nomad collaborating around town!
