MISSION BEACH \u2013 A donut shop isn\u2019t usually what first comes to mind when one thinks of healthy food, but classically trained chef Renee Fox is trying to change that with her new caf\u00e9, Sourpuss Donuts in Mission Beach.<\/p>\n

The eatery on Misson Boulevard has your traditional sweet treats of course, as well as another donut shop staple, fresh coffee. However, Sourpuss also offers health-oriented options and was created from a desire to bring a high quality \u201cbetter for you\u201d donut option to San Diego, according to Fox.<\/p>\n

Instead of using canola oil, soybean oil and artificial ingredients, Sourpuss uses only organic ingredients, no seed oils and engages in local ingredient sourcing. The caf\u00e9 also offers San Diego\u2019s only sourdough brioche donuts, according to Fox.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe donuts are crafted with organic ingredients and choosing slow fermented sourdough make a unique donut that you can feel good about treating yourself to,\u201d according to a statement provided by the caf\u00e9. \u201cCooking without seed oils or artificial ingredients allows you to enjoy a treat that otherwise may be considered off limits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other offerings at Sourpuss for the health-conscious include yogurt bowls and fresh fruit. For those who aren\u2019t as worried about calories, the menu includes sandwiches, burgers, fries and more.<\/p>\n

A statement printed on the menu also makes it clear that Sourpuss isn\u2019t your typical donut shop cafe.<\/p>\n

\u201cReal food, made from scratch using quality ingredients we trust \u2013 grass-fed, thoughtfully sourced and always free of inflammatory seed oils,\u201d it says.<\/p>\n

Sourpuss Donuts was previously a vendor at the Del Mar farmers market for three years before opening a physical location in spring. The storefront also includes a patio between the beach and the bay.<\/p>\n

\u201c(We) are so excited to embark on this new journey,\u201d the owners said in a statement. \u201cOur location is designed to be a relaxing and joyful space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before moving to San Diego, Fox had years of experience owning and operating two farm-to-table restaurants in Santa Fe, New Mexico \u2013 Arable and Loyal Hound. She has also appeared on the Food Network multiple times and is an alumnus of the James Beard Foundation\u2019s Chef Bootcamp for Policy and Change, a rigorous three-day training course covering sustainable food systems, media relations and other topics.<\/p>\n

She and her husband Dave say they moved to San Diego to pursue the California dream, and that dream is fulfilled with the opening of their brick-and-mortar Sourpuss Donuts cafe.<\/p>\n
