“I went this morning to pick up a almond mudder and seasonal jam toast It was delicious. I also ordered a hazelnut Divinity. It was amazing! I will definitely be replacing my old coffee place for better buzz!! Oh and the drive-thru person who took my order and payment for today is super positive I'm super patient as it was my first time trying better buzz!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“In town for one night. Spent the evening walking between three breweries and a meadery. If I lived here, this is the one that would be my local watering hole. Absolutely beautiful bartender, friendly atmosphere, great music, and a story behind the label and taprooms that can't be beat.“

“10 out of 10 for hospitality, kid friendly, food + wine and atmosphere. We’ve been to a lot of vineyards and this one stood out as so incredibly kid friendly and welcoming, from the tractor hay ride to the bouncy house and large fenced in field, we will definitely make this a regular stop! Thanks for having us, see you again soon!!“

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

“Best Gelato I have ever had!“

“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.“

“Love love love this place! I love pretty much anything that I try here! My go to is the buffalo chicken wrap and my husband loves the shrimp po boy~ The burgers are awesome and we've tried some burgers and sandwiches also and are never disappointed. I love that all is made in house daily!
The bathroom could use a little tlc and I wish they were open on Sundays and Mondays ~ other than that a full 5 stars for me.“

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

“Craft & Taco is a small, family-owned restaurant in Escondido, CA. If you're into fancy places, this restaurant may not be for you; but if you're into great service, great food, and getting your money's worth, then I highly recommended this pleasant surprise in the heart of Escondido. This restaurant accommodates vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters. There is a vegan/vegetarian menu, and anything vegetarian can also be made vegan. Generous sized tacos are served on homemade tortillas. (I prefer the flour). The average person will need 2 tacos to get full and 3 to get stuffed. Spicy and delicious green and red salsas are offered. (My favorite is the flavorful, smoky, red salsa, but I may choose the green salsa depending on the taco). I am a vegan who used to be vegetarian. I have tried most of their vegetarian and vegan menu items. Below is my review. My favorite vegan taco, and favorite taco overall, is the buffalo zucchini taco. This taco is topped with vegan ranch and buffalo sauce, so I do not recommend adding any salsa. A large piece of perfectly breaded zucchini, the star of the show, is accompanied by spiraled carrots, sliced celery, spring mix, and other fresh veggies. My second favorite vegan taco is the avotaco made vegan. Because this taco does not contain cheese, the only vegan substitute that is the aioli. I recommend the green salsa and substituting the corn tortilla for flour. This taco comes with a large slices of avocado tempura style and fresh veggies. MY favorite vegetarian taco, and my former favorite taco overall, is the chile relleno. If you love cheese, you will be thrilled with the explosion of cheese stuffed inside a breaded chile, accompanied by spring mix and other fresh veggies. The red salsa is amazing with this taco. I have tried the vegan version of this taco, and while still good, I am not the biggest fan of vegan cheeses and usually avoid them. My second favorite vegetarian taco would have to be the avotaco mentioned above or the portobellini, which is full of cheesy mushroom goodness. This taco pairs well with the red salsa. I have not tried it vegan style, as again, I am not a fan of vegan cheeses. Other items I love: elote Other items that were okay: Chapis rolls, soyviche, beans Other items that I do not love: vegan pastor, french fries“

“Great food and good people for our community.“

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

“What a delightful afternoon we had here! We did a 4-flight tasting with a choice between 6 white and 6 red varieties. The staff was so friendly, laid back, and helpful. We sat on the patio with a view of the valley listening to a musician play guitar and sing. Highly recommend this place!“

“Was passing through town. Needed a quick bite to eat and this place was amazing sandwiches were phenomenal highly recommend the chicken Parmesan sandwich and ultimate mafia marriage the potato salad was great, and the pickles were amazing and very fairly priced“

“Awesome spot!! Good beer and good sandwich’s“

“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 Neighborhood brewery!“

“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!“

“Such a great spot for wine tasting without reservations if you’re a group of less than 9 people, they not only offer the wine tasting flight but also a picnic bag with delicious snacks, came because of the reviews and definitely did not disappoint at all!! The lady at the front desk was very friendly! Definitely would be coming back!“

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

“We love Mikko Sushi - Carlsbad“

“Really beautiful wines and a gorgeous view. We loved everything poured, reds and whites.

“First time there food was delicious“

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

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

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

“Just visited and was immediately impressed with quality beverage selections and food offerings. The owner actually touched base and was very friendly. I will be back to try the food. Sorry that the market/ pizza place next door gets confused with this place. The 5 star reviews of the other place actually had photos of the interior I just saw in person...If you are any where in the area you should definitely give them a try.“

“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!!“

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

“Great coffee and amazing staff“

“Was very impressed by the food!! The service by our waitress Sara was amazing. She was very attentive and brought out a dog bowl and treats for my old dog, Buddy.

I has the ribs, wings, and the fish. Both the soups of the days and the dressings for the salad was house made and absolutely delicious ? ? ?

The owner/manager was very hospitable, joking around and asking if there was anything he could do to make pur visit better. As this was my first time, I cannot tell you have much I loved this place!! Cannot wait to come back and bring more people to this wonderful establishment. 10/10 would recommend!!“

“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. 🍀🍻💚“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“Muchisimas graciaa por el pastel de Donas de la graduacion de Chollas Elementary School 2022 quedaron facinados y estaban riquisimas Vicly y miszy las mejores donas de escondido y como siempre muy amables graxiassss“

“Honestly I like a lot of the choices that they have available there, the workers have it done most of the time before you get to the window. my favorite thing to get there is a mint and mexican mocha milkshake. As for my atmosphere rating, the location and shop look nice but it's a to-go location so it's hard to judge, overall I'd recommend coming here before going to work/class“

“I stopped in yesterday for the first time and I was very happy with my experience. The gentleman at the register was very welcoming and friendly. I asked several questions about their whole bean coffee and he was happy to answer them all. I ended up buying a bag of their Mexico roasted whole beans and am having my first cup of it this morning. Very delicious. Overall good coffee and good people here!“

“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!!!“

“Cheese foam matcha was fantastic! Wish they had the same menu at all of the other locations in other countries.

Service was a bit lacking - they just seemed uninterested and did not want to provide much suggestion or input. Baked cookie and brownie were also mediocre.“

“Staff was great, food was excellent, loved the art work.“

“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 !!!“

“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.“

“Josh and the whole crew are great. It was Halloween and we got a good laugh. When the whole crew is there they rock. Some people would say only coffee. Its more than venri“
