“Best Gelato I have ever had!“

“best chicken fried steak and gravy this side of El Paso“

“Little Miss was recommended to us by one of the Midway volunteers in San Diego. We checked out this location as it was close to our hotel, and loved the vibes! This one is USSR themed (each one has a different WWII theme). Helpful bartenders, great beer, and friendly patrons.“

“The BEST coffee+boba I’ve ever tried! So glad I tried them out, definitely my go to from now on.“

“Great food and good people for our community.“

“I recently had a fundraising event and Sunny Side was such a great choice for catering. After I sent an email, I got a call back and we walked through the order and right sized it. The guests really enjoyed an artichoke quiche, strawberry chicken salad and three types of mini cookies. Everyone raved about the food. It was all packaged up to be easy to serve. I would highly recommend working with Sunny Side on your next catering need!“

“I had an absolutely delicious iced matcha latte at Blue Mug yesterday. The matcha flavor was superb and it was perfect for the heat wave. The bathroom was clean, and the staff was friendly. It was very nice inside and a great place to grab coffee, a pastry, or a sandwich. I cannot wait to go back.“

“Ksenia and Zaryna catered a beautiful birthday event for us and we’re so pleased. Ksenia really listened and took into consideration all preferences. She went above and beyond to create a memorable set up and a flawless experience for our guests. The food was fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommend this company for your big and small catering needs!“

“Just a perfect venue for a wedding.

It’s beautiful - enveloped in lush greenery, surrounded by mountains!

Staff is warm, amazing and efficient. Couldn’t expect more. All the arrangements were just remarkable.

Food was delicious, drinks were marvellous.

Overall 10/10 ( I would say 11/10 since it exceeded expectations).“

“We stopped in before the Escondido Renaissance Faire and not only loved the food and cattitude, but also the star treatment we received. We got 2 tacos, elote, and guac and cannot recommend stopping here enough !

PS lots of vegan options !!“

“THE HOUSE WAS ROCKIN' ! Whenever we are in Escondido this is the ONLY PLACE WE EAT ! My wife and I were heading a very long way to Wildomar on Monday to visit my wife's Mom & Dad in an assisted living facility. But first we stopped by here for a nice lunch. It was a bit before midday when we stepped inside the front entrance to be greeted warmly by the lovely owner / founder Jenny who we have known for many years. Jenny herself took our order for 1 x Capicola & Provolone Sub Sandwich plus 1 x Gangster Reuben Pastrami Sub Sandwich. The place was ABSOLUTELY ROCKIN' on Memorial Day and there were stacks of loyal customers lined up waiting to place their lunch order. Our fantastic looking sub sandwiches were hand delivered to our table...and believe me it doesn't get any better ! Our delicious sub sandwiches hit it clean outa the ball park ! As I said to lovely Jenny....YOU ARE A LEGEND !“

“So good! It’s my go to taco Tuesday spot. The owners are amazing and sweet. They even started carrying a non-alcoholic corona after I asked on my first visit.“

“It was about noon as I left my Doctors office and feeling a little hungry. I say Pegah’s Kitchen next door and gave it a try. The staff were all very professional. I had their Italian omelette and if I had to rate it on a one to 10 scale with 10 being the best, I would give it a 12. This is the Vista location. Highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch, as they are not open for dinner.“

“Super chill place! I was really impressed with the fig flatbread. Can’t wait to try other menu items :-)“

“Great Neighborhood brewery!“

“LOVE going to Mia Marie’s for an afternoon with friends. The atmosphere and view are incredible and the wine is fabulous. On weekends they have live music and wine vendors and we never feel like they’re so busy we have a “2 hour table limit”. Their staff is all incredibly sweet and knowledgeable and the tasting events are fantastic. We stay, we drink, we hang, we enjoy the scenery and music, and it’s always an amazing time.“

“Great atmosphere and tasty wine! You get the best views when you visit this winery! love it 😀“

“So amazingly delicious. The ingredients in the Cuban all work so well together and the portion is enough for two hungry grown men to split. I’m assuming it’s that way for the whole menu. It’s a destination restaurant and worth the trip. Come out even if you don’t live in town!“

“the tiny brewery that cranks out awesome beer! all outdoor seating, a modern version of Cheers!“

“Best coffee in San Diego!“

“I am a bit disappointed with recent winery messaging/policy. These changes seem to make the winery setting more exclusive and less welcoming to families. I have NEVER been dissatisfied with the wine. Just a little disappointed in the pull away from families and inclusion.

New review: I am the biggest fan of this winery. I have recommended this winery to literally all of my friends and family. I have never enjoyed a winery more than Domaine. I love most Domaine wines, which is very telling for a self-proclaimed wine snob. At most wineries I Iike two or three wines. At Domaine there is no wine I do not like. I especially like their Rincon del Diablo and Syrah. In addition to their scrumptious wine, the staff here have never waivered in their kindness and accomodations.

The missing star and slightly critical review is hopefully part of larger growing pains. My kids used to come here and feel so welcomed. They could stretch their legs and roam a bit (supervised). We could search for tadpoles or ask staff for the owl puppet or drive the tonka trucks through the olive orchard. It was a pretty special place for our teacher friend group to relax and have their kids enjoy outside at the same time. Seeing the new signage up discouraging supervised child autonomy is beyond disappointing. I enjoyed this winery as it always felt like family. It felt like home. It was uncomplicated and comfortable. Their dogs roam free and my kids, behaving with respect, were also permitted to do the same. Closing out areas to kids is beyond regrettable and makes me less inclined to continue membership (even given my 10 plus years of membership and their delicious wine). Unfortunately I am going to consider if it's worth it to be a member of a place that is seemingly inhospitable to half of my family. I wonder if they will make a separate section for families / dogs or if they will continue to slide towards exclusionary spaces.“

“e well, she is a managers. They’re very friendly and outspoken and really nice people. 😊“

“Belle Marie wines are delicious and for our palate some of the best wines ever. Jeff and Scott do a great job as vinters behind the scene and out in front as folks come in to taste. We've had wines from here for over 20 years and it is ALWAYS GOOD!“

“Everything from the food to the staff was amazing. The pepperoni pizza, “El Pepe,” was a top quality pizzeria style. Next time we are in the area we will most definitely stop by. There is a little arcade room to keep the kids entertained while us parents enjoy sports on tv with a pitcher of beer.“

“Incredible folks out here at James. Really a locals-only gem in Escondido. Pastries can't be beat; the cortado gives me hope. ☕️🥐“

“Great beer, fun people, they have comedians, live music, drone events, and are dog friendly. A must stop for your beer drinking needs!“

“My favorite pub since 2010 or so. Always a great time. Hoping to go more often and also for takeout since they are one of the best restaurants in town as well. 🍀🍻💚“

“I bought 1 gyro, $7.99, a combination plate, $14.99, which comes packed with rice, salad, gyro meat and a kabob, and 1 pita bread, $.99. The price was more than fair for the amount of food we got. The food tasted fantastic, besides the fact that it fed my wife, and four daughters. They all raved about it. If you appreciate Mediterranean food, this place is great!“

“Andy’s reds are superb! A must taste!“

“We love Mikko Sushi - Carlsbad“

“Really beautiful wines and a gorgeous view. We loved everything poured, reds and whites.
The winery is located up a relatively bumpy road past a sign reading "dead end, private road". You're going the right way with a great reward at the top!“

“This bustling place has been growing. I’d love to see one or two up North in Oregon. Good skate parks and beers. Or maybe I just have enjoy the SOCal that much.“

“First time there food was delicious“

“I went to treat myself as it's my birthday. When I ordered, from a very nice man, he smiled when I ordered whipped cream and asked if it was a special occasion. I said it was my birthday. He then told me my drink was free. I was wished a happy birthday by 2 employees and 3 other customers. It really made my day a happy one. Thank you, I'll be back!!“

“Service was fantastic. Both the server and owner were very accommodating considering we brought our two kids (toddler and baby).

Food was good and on par with other pho restaurants we’ve frequented before moving to Escondido. I do like that their menu is simple and straight forward. We ordered shrimp spring rolls, pho with rare steak and brisket, and taro milk tea. Our oldest (toddler) loves pho broth and noodles and he didn’t want to stop eating 😂 I know there’s a boba shop next door, but their taro milk tea was tasty!

Atmosphere is clean and relaxed. Our toddler loves the fan and the fish tank. Rated it 4/5 stars because there isn’t much decoration on the walls, but I know that’ll change as business builds.

Overall, we had good food and enjoyed our visit. We’ll be back!“

“Cody recommend their hybrid tortillas, they're awesome! Their habanero chicken is so good on the grill. We just tried their burgundy tri-tip... Holy moly... incredible!!“

“Little hole in the wall deli I found on Google maps. Ordered a pastrami sandwich and was surprised with a bacon turkey club when I got back to my office. Was going to get upset until I took a bite and was amazed on how good the wrong sandwich tasted! I look forward to actually getting a pastrami next time to see how good that is! Good job ladies! You know how to make a mean sandwich!“

“great owners!! great food!for!! love the place“

“The employee who took my order was excellent. Answered my questions regarding a special. Was very polite and professional. Sorry I didn't get his name.“

“We only had burritos, but holy cow! This is a gem. We live in L.A., and I honestly might drive down here for lunch again. This is the kind of business that should be patronized during these times, so that it survives to provide REALLY GOOD FOOD.“

“Had my 33rd bday here with 40+ guests and I can honestly say I am more than happy with the experience. The staff was attentive quick and super friendly. The food was great and the place was big enough where we didn’t feel trapped. Kaitlyn was the bar manager at the time and she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend this place for big events“

“I hadn't been here since the ownership changed. I was happy to see my favorite server was still there. Had a delicious burger - very fresh. Service was great, as it always has been. All the staff were friendly. Prices still very reasonable.“

“Have loved this place! Great food..just be prepared to wait for it. Great music & really nice having concrete flooring now Need to remove poisonous Oleander plants & get oscilating fans to eliminate so many flies!!!“

“Best fresh Margaritas in town. Good food for take out or dine in . Highly recommend the margaritas“

“wow!! great food, great experience! order inside and then go outside and watch them cook it fresh!!!“

“The food here is absolutely amazing—they’ve got a little bit of everything, and everything I’ve tried has been delicious. I’ve been working in Escondido for the past couple of weeks, and I have to give a big shoutout to Maria. She’s been incredibly welcoming, helpful, and always provides outstanding service. Her professionalism and great attitude have truly made my time here even better. Highly recommend!“

“The baristas are the most chill people I have ever met. Even when the line gets a bit long they do not rush you at all and are always willing to answer questions. My kids and I absolutely love their drinks! I highly recommend their new frozen fuel drink and you can add up to three different flavorings to it. Absolutely yummy!“

“An interesting little coffee shop located on the bottom floor of the building that houses Vintanas and a Lexus dealership. It has a very open entrance, so it feels like it is a part of the dealership. It's not. It's a small separate business.There is plenty of seating available. It has a very upscale feel to the bar area, where you can sit and enjoy a drink. There are also other tables around to sit at. The staff here have always been friendly and attentive. There is a large variety of coffee options to choose from. They also serve food like sandwiches and breakfast items, smoothies too. Blended coffee drinks are also on the menu!If you like exploring small and unique coffeee shops, this definitely makes the list. Grab a coffee and roam around the lexus dealership or nearby shops and restaurant. It's a pleasant place to find somewhere to sit.Parking is a bit odd. You can park in the front in the dealership parking lot area, or there is a huge 3 story parking lot around the back of the building. Park on any lever and walk in, then take the elevator to the first floor.

Parking: The most parking options I have ever seen at any coffee shop due to its neighboring businesses.“

“Had a bridal shower for 25 ladies and Frank and the staff took good care of us ….. excellent food and wine and loved the Sangria. Perfect day on their patio to celebrate !!!“
