“Wow, did we find a great place. My daughter had an açaí bowl and I had a Moonlight Mango smoothie with pea protein added. Both were ready quickly and tasted so yummy. I had some nutrition questions about my smoothie and they were answered to my satisfaction. They have a good sized area to sit and enjoy your selection. I can’t wait to come back and try another menu item. I highly recommend this place for a great snack stop.“
“This is our favorite Italian restaurant in this area. They are vegan friendly, and the food is delicious.They have a small selection of vegan pizzas and have vegan cheese.My husband is from Chicago, so picky about his pizza. So far, their flatbread, is the only pizza he's found that is likes.We've ordered to-go for two large events over the past three years and everyone loved the food.“
“As a local in & out loyalist, I regret to announce that my head has officially been turned with our new neighbors north, Crispy Burger. I say “new” because it’s new to me, as I was reluctant to try this truckstop-esq spot. But boy, do I tell you, if you’re a fan of smashburgers, look no further. The burgers, fries and milkshakes are divine. Combine this with great prices, exceptipnal service, and the delight of great ranch (this truly matters), it's a sure recipe for weekly cravings. Im so happy I live a stones throw away. Overlook the highway pit stop and do yourself a favor trying crispy burger ASAP.“
“Super cute place interior and exterior. Really good flavors on the gelato and the boba too. I liked the serving option for kids since they don’t eat much sometimes I don’t like to be wasteful.Parking: Really tight spaces and small amount of parking spaces too.Kid-friendliness: They have kids size servings and cups perfect because sometimes they don’t eat much.“
“Wow! This place is fantastic! The atmosphere is the perfect combination of beach casual, family friendly and still conveys that you are in for a treat. Fast and very friendly service made us feel right at home. Great drink selection both nonalcoholic and alcoholic. Now onto the tacos, I can't wait to go back! The grass-fed beef taco is heavenly perfection. Tender beef and so flavorful with the caramelized onions and cream making a magical sauce. The Cousteau fish taco was so fresh with the mango and cilantro adding to the simple and yet delicious taco. We saw a couple other menu items come out of the kitchen when we were there and I can't wait to try them all! Allergy and dietary concerns friendly for all. Parking lot in the back. Enjoy!“
“I have had many great experiences here. I usually sit up at the bar and the staff are all super knowledgeable and friendly. One thing to note is that it can get really crowded on days that are sunny/summer days when the beach is crowded. This goes for all of downtown Encinitas. Lots of people bring their dogs as well so that is a huge plus“
“Great coffee selections, excellent service. First visit there I went solely for coffee. I didn't know they served food. Asparagus omelette was the special of the day. Going back to sample their menu. If it's as good as their coffees, I'm in for a treat!“
“This is an outstanding place to get a poke bowl that offers great value, quality, and service. The fish they use for their poke has always been fresh and with the variety of add-ins, sauces, toppings, etc. that they have, you can customize your poke bowl in countless ways. Their staff is consistently fast and friendly. They have a decent amount of seating outside on the patio with a foosball table and cornhole. Finally, their portions are generous so you can satisfy your poke cravings with a big bowl (sm/med/lg) depending on how hungry you are. Love this place.“
“The craft beers are delicious . The atmosphere is amazing. Great place to sit and drink chat with people or view Walkers by on Coast Highway. They also have art for sale by local artists. Siobhan was our sommelier. She was friendly and knowledgeable. I will be sure to stop by there every time I go through Encinitas.“
“When I went to eat here, I was blown away! Their food is some of the best I’ve had in years, I didn’t have a single thing wrong with my order. Their customer service is outstanding, everyone there is more than polite. I love this spot and I highly recommend eating here ?“
“Insane breakfast burritos! Worth the line. The sausage egg and avo is my favorite. Do not park in the seaside parking lot or you'll get towed... their plate breakfasts are good, too but the burritos are enormous and have so much flavor. Definitely recommend when you're by the beach and looking for a good breakfast.“
“My first time here and it is very very delicious food, amazing service and a positive and relaxing atmosphere. The service comes with a beautiful smile that makes the place wonderful! I am very happy to find this new place and will definitely return! Highly recommended!! Thank you so much “
“This is my favorite place to grab an ice cream. There are so many options to choose from (including dairy free ice creams) and they’re delicious! The portion size is also good for the price - which is so rare to find these days.Service has always been friendly too!“

“Always amazing. NOT to be confused with the other Everest Himalayan across town (which I avoid after a bad experience.) The staff here are just-the-right-amount of friendly and personable and the food is always excellent.Dietary restrictions: I've been missing out on Vegetable Pokara...there's is made.of chickpea flour and is gluten friendly! As well as the Papad which is a perfect little starter.“
“Great tacos, had a selection of beef, chicken, grilled fish and mushroom. Tortilla made in house. My only hope was that is was more authentic Mexican taco. Beef and mushroom are a winner. Oh and don't forget to get churros. One of the best I had in US.“
“Great little local coffee shop. Delicious tasting coffee, great service, and quickly through the drive thru. I really like how they use coffee ice cubes in my cold brew so that it doesn't get diluted with water, but with more coffee. Genius!“
“I read the 1 star review by Rachna and she's a crusty old tart lol. This place is legit one of the best Italian spots I've been to while visiting Socal. There were only 2 employees working the night I came. For 1, it was their first day. But all the same they helped me find good tasty pizza. It came out hot and fresh too. The dessert was the best part. Super tasty and I'll definitely be coming back with friends. :)“
“Gabriella and Lorina are the absolute best. We were visiting from out of town and where we live. We cannot find birrieria tacos with Consume. When I called they were very friendly. So full of information and when I got there. They were so extremely kind. I was over the top excited and that did not faze them lol We also got beans and rice with them. And I'm not kidding. I'm a talker and I did not say a word while eating. I made tons of noisesthough lol If your reading this review I would travel out of state to come here. Great food, great presentation and actually a large amount. I was extremely pleased. And I am going back and again. I don't live in that town or city at all. I have to travel almost 3 hours to get there and I'm going to do that.“
“Healthy creations hold a very special place in my heart. Not only do i have a gluten intolerance, i also have an intolerance to terrible service. This place is the opposite of that. John always makes me feel welcome no matter what - sometimes i come in there a hot mess and theyll have my favorite drink waiting for me to purchase cause they know me so well!If you ever see tori, lucy, john or eduardo - be sure to say hi! They are so friendly and they always keep me coming back !“
“We decided to have pancakes for breakfast here, which was a very good decision. A huge portion if you order the 3 pancakes, but it's better to have one less if you're not a big eater.Otherwise, the taste and appearance were very tasty and the price was very good for this portion. Staff also very nice.“
“Delicious food, great service, beautiful evening ambiance. Everything looked so good it was hard to decide so we'll definitely be returning to try everything else on the menu! The mussels were out but the oysters were very good, the shrimp was the best, the tar tar was perfection, the smashed artichoke was the best side dish but guessing from what we saw you couldn't go wrong between any of them. I love gin and the local gin they use for their cocktails was delicious.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to get inside to the first set of tables“
“Four of us each had two scoops so we tried 8 different flavors. We all thought the pomegranate pistachio was the best of our selections. Overall they were all good. The texture was different but it didn’t bother anyone in my group. The pricing was what I’d expect this close to the beach and the facility was clean and the staff pleasant.“
“Food at this establishment.. On point, very delicious and a good amount.-Pups allowed, they have a huge outside area to eat; plus a Pup menu. We have a picky pup and he loved his steak.-Great choices on the menu for everyone.Service, not great for us. Our server only would check on one person. We are a please and thank you family and not even that was helpful for us. But this service will not stop us from going back.Vegetarian options: Vegan section to menu, plus SaladsWheelchair accessibility: We didn’t go inside, but there is a entrance for people bringing there pups and was an easy access to side entrance.. width was pretty wide.“
“I’m not vegan, I’m not even vegetarian, but I went with a friend who has food allergies. I loved the nachos my friend had a wrap that she enjoyed as well. The nachos were filling, very tasty, crunchy ‘chips” which I was worried about since they were not the standard corn. We got a few deserts to go but I tasted a chocolate one and it was very very tasty! I was going as a favor for my friend, but I was pleasantly surprised and impressed!!“
“True family Italian meal, nothing pretentious just perfect food for the soul. Who cares about the location and fast food atmosphere when you have such an honest cooking that brought me back to Italy, sharing a joyful meal with my friends. Highly recommend it.“
“Yummy food and huge portions. They only take cash or Venmo but do have an ATM in the restaurant. My husband has been coming here since he was a teen and now we get to bring our children. It's also dog friendly on the patio. We will be back again!“
“Absolutely incredible location in Leucadia with a chill atmosphere and welcoming tap room.First-time caller, so I went with a flight, obvs., of both West Coast as well as Double IPA's.Good but not great (hence the four stars), but gawddamn, Leucadia FTW, as this spot definitely wins for Location, Location, Location.Paz.“
“4/8/24 great spot but the girl working today was petting a customers dog and then resumed working with her bare unwashed hands tamping ground espresso beans. I couldnt believe my eyes. The guys that usually work here are top notch and treat their job as an art“
“This place is incredible! Their avocado toast is out of this world! I haven't had a chance to try their other items yet but I'm sure they are just as good! Next time I want to try lox :) great place to grab a morning coffee and a bite to fuel you at the beginning of the day!“
“Much more than just organic and conscience-free KFC. We go for the Big Flock and Baja Chop for a takeout but fun to eat in too. Imaginative selection of chicken sandwiches, salads. Drinks too.Kid-friendliness: Play areas to keep them entertained.“
“I got the Hand Rolls (comes with 5 rolls... Shrimp, Spicy Tuna, Salmon, Scallops and Yellowtail) and each one was better than the last... super fresh... zero fishy smell... the Scallops was surprisingly my favorite. I've had bad scallops before and wasn't sure what to expect. But its absolutely delicious. They have 5 different sauces to add for dipping, just get them all they are excellent. Service was quick and friendly, I'll be back 100%“
“Food (5/5 stars): Cali Cream is a great ice cream spot in Encinitas! It's very similar to Handel's as they have lots of the same flavors and the 4 scoop sampler, which we ordered! My favorite by far was the Graham Central Station. I wasn't too thrilled about the other ones we ordered (Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Birthday Cake, and Faddy Daddy), but I'll be back to try more because the quality of their ice cream is amazing. Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: reasonable * Wait Time: minimal on a Friday evening * Service: good * Parking: street parking is not too bad * Ambiance: it's a nice, simple ice cream shop, but no indoor seating“
“Sincerely one of the best taco experiences in San Diego, which is saying something. Of course they have carnitas, asada, camarones etc but they have so many more creative options, I particularly love the Scallop Dreams taco. The house made corn tortillas are top notch as well.City Tacos is absolutely a worthwhile experience at a great price point (four tacos, elite and two glasses of wine for under $40). I highly recommend giving them a try.“
“Bump has quickly become one of my favorite coffee spots in North County. The staff is always so friendly and the service is always fast. I love their pour over and empanadas. Be sure to go early if you want a particular empanada flavor as they tend to run out quickly!“
“food was very good only downside is that there is no type of seating terrible terrible seating and no type of busser i don't know if it's like a hospitality thing where you clean your own table but it was very weird ..... but the food was so good .“
“Had a yummy lunch at Chinese Korean fusion restaurant CHIKO. We sat on the dog friendly patio where you order through QR codes on the table. We ordered the XO shrimp, spicy kumin lamb stir fry, and pork belly bao. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the food comes out quick. Recommend, not many Asian fusion restaurants in the area.“
“Great Matcha. Great People. Great atmosphere. As an Encinitas local, I wanted to hate on another coffee shop opening up, and taking the place of the iconic Rhino Art. But, Lofty has slowly become an institution. I have lots of meetings out on the patio and really enjoy their various drinks and munchies. Thanks for being a big part of my community!“
“Since they redid everything the food has gotten much better and so has the coffee. I think they may be using zumbar beans which I love.Cons are that it is very expensive now. It was $50 for two of us to get a light breakfast and an iced coffee. It is no longer the cozy coffee shop atmosphere I would study in all day with monthly featured artists. So sad to see all of these leucadia staples go.“
“It was our first time at Lobster West and arrived 4:20pm. Great casual ambiance, seating along the patio.they have generous servings, juicy and flavorful lobster and crab sandwiches. The soup was awesome for the cold weather. We will surely be back for the food. An area to improve for dining customers is the improvement is rest room for the dining guests. Not only you’ll have to walk around the building to get to it, but it’s one cubicle available.“
“This is one of those places that you definitely need to try. The Food presentations here are really, really cool. The taste matches the beautiful look, and the service is definitely above par. The ambience is really relaxing and gives off a very friendly and welcoming vibe.“
“I love Moto Deli! The sandwiches are excellent! My favorite is the Brisket sandwich, which they BBQ on the premises and the Cubano! Also, don't leave without having one of the peanut butter cup cookies! The patio always has a lot of bikers stopping by for a bite and is dog friendly! If you are on the coast stop by you won't be disappointed!Bobby D.“
“Wanting to forego cake at our wedding, we opted to work with The Baked Bear to serve ice cream cookie sandwiches instead, as The Baked Bear is husband's favorite! We are so glad we did! Our guests raved about the cookies and ice cream (with one guest reporting he ate FOUR whole sandwiches-- that's how good they are). Outside of our wedding, we love visiting The Baked Bear for special treats and when guests visit town. Highly recommend working with The Baked Bear not only for your wedding, but for any time you need your cookie and ice cream fix. Thank you, The Baked Bear!!“
“Service was great!! The parking lot does get busy during the day when the rush hits. They do have alternate parking, which is nice. Came in on a busy day, high schoolers from the local area were in to have a delicious lunch. I don't blame them. Tried the San Diegan toasted for the first time and it was so good! Price for the full combo is decent. Really good. Dining in seemed nice as well. They had TVs, and a front patio to sit at. I would definitely recommend. The staff was friendly and professional to keep the rush steady. I'll be back for sure!“
“Lovely people and service! Lot of options on the menu. But I have to say I’ve been here a few times and the food really isn’t too great. Had a southwest salad that was just chips busted up over romaine with shredded cheese, some chicken enchiladas where the meat was kinda dry and funky, and a veggie burger that was also just kinda so so. Still love the place for its massive amount of options and lovely people.“
“This in and out burger is a bit above others I've been to. The ingredients seemed fresher. We did have to wait a bit sitting in the dining room, they definitely prioritize the drive-thru. The service was friendly. Love the animal style burger.“
“Whenever we are in Carlsbad, we take a short drive here. My husband and boys love fish, so this is a must when we are near. Tonight, we had the chowder, fish platter (comes with two sides), fish sandwiches (keep the lemon aioli), and the fish & chip. Oh, make sure you try their cole slaw, best I've ever had. All very fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the employees are friendly.“
“Wait why was this some of the best pizza I’ve ever had!! Saw they had good reviews so I tried the New Jersey style pizza (I had no idea what that meant but I was like why not just go for it). 10/10 would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back and try more pizza!“
“Brought our family here for my son's 6th birthday breakfast before conquering Lego land and had the PERFECT experience. Started with the Hawaiian pancake, ordered the Greek omelette, Chorizo scramble, Huevos Rancheros and Waffle breakfast - everything was LITERALLY PERFECT. Krista made us feel at home, and she also made us not want to leave. Honestly a breakfast experience we will cherish forever. Thanks Krista!!!“
“I love this place! The donuts are unique and delicious and the portions and variety are perfect. I order regularly for catered seminars and they are always a hit. They also have great customer service and are always nice and reliable. Prices are reasonable too! Highly recommend!“
