“A long overdue review for one of my favorite smoothie spots in San Diego. Smoothies and açaí bowls are fresh, delicious, and well-balanced. The team is always so friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming, and has great recommendations if you ask. My go-to smoothie spot in the downtown area!“

“Favorite ice cream spot in San Diego! The ice cream tastes amazing and the portions are huge. Their cream texture is special. I love their chocolate flavors so I usually get their Gooey Fudge Brownie and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie.“

“Top notch! The lady there is so kind and the ingredients she uses to make the poke bowls was very fresh. Must be new but it’s amazing. Will be back!!!!On a side note, there’s actually a nice variety of other things there like açaí bowls and mango sorbet bowl. Will try over there.“

“Was looking for vegan food and found this place. Great mixed green salad minus the feta. The hummus veggie bagel on a great sourdough multi grain bread, because the bagel ingredients were unknown, was delicious. The very friendly employees were willing to make substitutions for me.Vegetarian options: Willing to modify most items on the menu“

“I've tried Dori Boba's drinks twice, and overall, it's been a decent experience. Taro Milk Tea: It was good, a bit sweet for my liking without modifications. The texture, typical of taro milk tea, was slightly grainy but not overwhelming. Boba: Unfortunately, the boba was inconsistent with varying textures--some too chewy, some hard. Seemed like a mix of undercooked, overcooked, and just right. Vietnamese Coffee: Not my favorite; less sweet and a bit bitter compared to what I expected from Vietnamese Coffee. Service has been good, and the cashier is friendly. They offer a 5% cash discount. Despite not being my top choice for boba or Vietnamese coffee, it's conveniently close to work, and I might give it a few more tries. Oh and the interior does have a room for a few people to sit, but I can see how the seating could be uncomfortable if it is really busy.“

“Love having this healthy option in National City. Had breakfast here a couple of days ago and liked it so much that I went back for lunch today. Both meals were great. I recommend the green chicken wrap and old faithful smoothie. Can't wait to try more items here.“

“I go there all the time. I get green juice and 4 street tacos. Really nice people. All juices from fresh fruit. Big menu. They have sweets candy and ice cream . Bags of chips. While you there go next door get your hair cutParking: Parking spots in front of the store.Kid-friendliness: Happy place bright colored walls and tables and chairs. Big tubs of ice cream.“

“Best sandwich shop in SD!!! The food is fantastic(the chipotle chicken sammich is my fav) the salads are tasty and fresh. The smoothies are refreshing and it's so clean for its location. Right next to the trolly makes it convenient to get to the only surprise is its never “

“The best authentic Vietnamese"banh mi" in Southern California. I live in LA, but every time I travel to San Diego, Paris Bakery is always my first place to visit. They have a variety type of Banh mi with reasonable price, their tastes are always delicious.“

“When work brings me to the San Diego Convention Center, one of my favorite perks is getting to swing by Achilles Coffee in the Gaslamp District. This spot has quickly become my go-to for breakfast and a much-needed caffeine fix to kickstart the day. In fact, I just stopped by today and got The Warrior Breakfast, which comes with fluffy scrambled eggs mixed with cheese, a stack of three mini pancakes drizzled with a syrup that's absolutely delicious, creamy smashed avocado, and a choice between bacon or cranberry sausage. The perfect fuel for a busy day I had ahead, complemented of course by a beautifully crafted latte. I'm already looking forward to my visit tomorrow to try their breakfast burrito. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!“

“Really great all natural fresh smoothies and fruit bowls! Very popular with the locals, I will definitely seek out a location next time I'm in SoCal.No inside seating though. Walk-up window or order ahead. They were making online orders even before their window opening time.Vegetarian options: Mostly vegetarian. Some things with milk and milk alternatives“

“Frutti Mas is such a hidden jem! Whenever I come to town my family and I go and pick up my favorites. They are so welcoming and friendly and go above and beyond in giving the best service. Not to mention the food is delicious, we haven't had one thing we don't like! Their pozole is delicious, the tortas and wraps are so good. The smoothies are also so good. They over such a wide variety! Definitely check this place out!“

“Updating to 5 stars based on my second visit. It's pretty good and service is amazing! Place is cool. People are very nice. The large froyo is a great deal, $10 and it's really big! This amount at Pinkberry would probably be $20. I liked the original tart with strawberries and mochi. All the Dole stuff is really good. I actually caught the Dole ship at the harbor, the Dole Caribbean and all the Dole containers and trucks! It was just a short walk from here! I liked the pineapple products the most. Service is actually really amazing. They opened a new mochi pack because the one I had before was a little stale. And the girl working here (I think her name is Mia, according to my receipt) remembered me from yesterday! A little embarrassing perhaps, considering I ordered so much multiple times in the span of a couple days, but very nice and made me feel welcome :) I liked the mango madness smoothie and peaches peaches shake more than the strawberry banana or San Diego Squeeze smoothies, which surprised me because my default is strawberry banana! If you're at the convention center or a nearby hotel it's worth checking out! I wish I could come back!“

“The. Best. Torta de lomo. Ever. The meat is juicy and tender, and it actually has some spice to it because of the jalapeños they add. All of the veggies and avocado is fresh!!! The agua frescas and smoothies that I've tried are delicious as well. The ladies who work there are sweet, thorough and efficient. Not to mention, fast! Only thing I don't so much care for is the space itself. It's very small and usually overcrowded, and no public restroom is available. Also the parking lot is always a mess because there are multiple businesses in the area, but it's all worth it for this food, truuuust!“

“Gone here a couple times, both time for a late lunch. It wasn't busy at all. We ordered at the counter and our sandwiches were ready in about 10mins. First of all, these sandwiches are huge. The bread is perfectly toasted, crunchy outside soft inside. The chipotle sauce is soOo yummy with the cool deli meat as well as the warm carne asada. Definitely one of the better tortas I've tried. They also offer juices, salads, tosti-'s, etc. there is small dining area is available, no public restroom. Good for a quick lunch or to grab a meal to go. Small parking lot shared with other businesses. It seems like they make a specific amount of hot meats and can run out later in the day. (We wanted a couple chicken tortas, but they only had enough meat for one sandwich... we got deli ham instead , and it was just as good!)“

“This was sooooo delicious!! The atmosphere was super cute and the flight was great choice! I was definitely eager to go back the next day….. even went back—- but they’re closed on Mondays….. THEY HAVE GOOD ICE CREAM!! My flight had 2 servings of Lemon Custard! ?“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kuma Cafe, and I must say, the experience was delightfully satisfying! The highlight of my visit was their Rice with Chicken and Quinoa dish. Not only was it prepared to perfection, but it also offered a healthy twist to my meal, making it a guilt-free indulgence. Great place for a quick bite.“

“Freshly prepared food! The food is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. I love the service at the place and the chef is so friendly with the guests and always takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place.“

“Tried an escamocha here, and it was fantastic. They did it perfectly, with fresh cantaloupe, watermelon, papaya, strawberry, all diced in orange juice and sweetened condensed milk, topped with coconut, granola, and raisins. Highly recommended!“

“I’ll start off my review with saying great customer service . It shows the owner has put in a lot much of his/her time to train their employees properly . Every time I walk in I am always greeted and never rushed when ordering . I personally love there fruit waters and making my own chip bowl. All prices are decent and affordable so they fit everyones budget . It can get busy from time to time but totally worth the wait . I definitely recommend visiting this location to grab something for your sweet tooth or salty craving:) . Most importantly this location is always clean and sanitized ! You will never see a mess.“

“Here almost every Friday during lunch and every time it has a very relaxed atmosphere, always greeted and served in a professional and polite manner. I always order the green tea so I can only speak for that quality and preference because I think Tap Ex tea lacks strength and flavor but that is just my opinion. The owner Rick is a great God fearing family man and that is a plus for me also.“

“Awesome breakfast spot - and unlike other places, it was not super busy on a Saturday! We were seated right away & service was great! We sat outside (by choice) and it was nice!They had a full breakfast menu with a Spanish flare! It was all good food. I especially loved the potatoes, they were crispy on the outside!Drinks - we got the mimosa flight to share, chai tea, iced coffees and the fresh orange juice! It was all great!! Bonus they have milk alternatives for your coffee!“

“Located in a run-down strip mall next to a thrift store. No AC Hole in the wall family owened entie family works here. Place is a little rundown. Definitely made for the blue collar. Hard-shelled Shreded beef tacos were extra crispy, flavorful will definitely return when I am in the area. Love “

“Vegetarian options: corn, acai, sandwich (cucumber, avocado, lettuce, tomato, mustard, tajin)Dietary restrictions: I am a health nut and love that I can order corn, the most wholesome and delicious grain, a meal sized portion served up nice and hot with fresh lime and tajin (salt, lime, cayenne pepper). He will custom make anything so it is without and any cheese or mayo. I have also had the delicious acai bowl and the tuna on wheat with avocado cucumber lettuce tomato mustard sandwich and have also had it veggie without tuna or mayo and with tajin.“

“I went to this place with my mom and friends after our run at the park! The workers found out it was my mom's birthday so they surprised us and gave her a free muffin, decorated the plate with chocolate, and sang her happy birthday! The staff were very welcoming and attentive, especially Ale! Our food and drinks were prepared in a timely manner. This was my second time coming here and my friends and I always enjoy the food and drinks. My favorite smoothie so far is the energy boost with extra protein! The place itself was very clean and able to accommodate all 6 of us! The workers were more than willing to move the tables to ensure that we all sat together. Overall, the staff were amazing, the food was great, and the space was clean!“

“I've been a customer since I was a teenager and lived down the street. Now I make the trip from the east county when I am craving a LOMO torta. Nothing like this combination and flavors. I like my lomo shredded, not the big slab of meat. Highly recommend it !!! My ultimate all time favorite!“

“Great little hidden cafe! Located on the 4th floor inside the civic center (must enter building). Tucked away in the back as you enter the 4th floor. Very decently priced food (best priced food I could find on Google maps for breakfast/lunch in the area) and nice options!“

“Where to start…I moved outta SD a few years ago, but every time I go back, I purposely stay close to this place for the coffee and the treats. You are doing yourself a huge disservice if you don’t stop by here. It’s literally the best coffee and convos I’ve ever had. 10/10 recommend.“

“Super friendly, great customer service, looked clean and well kept. Drinks were super delicious! Highly recommend mixing flavors as it adds another level of delicious. The flavors by themselves are still delicious. Victoria S. was the one who helped us and was very welcoming and recommended a lot of mixes to try out. Very much recommend Sip Fresh and will be coming back every time we go to the mall“

“Hidden health Cafe/Coffee bar on third avenue. They open at 5:30am Mon-Fri! Great way to start your day. They have a variety of smoothies/coffee flavors and treats. Staff is very nice. I wanted to tip on the pinpad..but could not? Cash only. I hope the owner changes it soon. Recomend coffee heads to try it out muscle heads! ? and every1 in between“

“This place has become our new spot to celebrate after our kids soccer games. The staff is super friendly, it is always clean and has great toppings. There are yummy dairy free options as well!Highly recommend! Thank you, Yogurt Heaven for helping create new family traditions!“

“Picked up an organic smoothie this morning before I leave San Diego to head home. I was pleasantly surprised with this encouraging message to start my day! If you are ever in San Diego them out... healthy, delicious, positive and encouraging ? ?Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Food was very delicious. Tacos de luenga 10/10. Many food options, cafe de olla the best I have ever had. The service was not welcoming, a long time to give us the menus until I ask for them. One of the waitresses was nice and took care of us. The first impression is the one that makes a difference however I’m glad we stayed because food was delicious. There’s always room for improvement. Maybe they can work on a better greeting customers, and welcome them in.“

“I Love this place! Been coming since 2019 and the girls are always so helpful and inviting. They are fast, friendly and have great customer service. Always on time with the hours.The shakes and teas are delicious, so many to chose from! I stop here daily.“

“I can’t begin to express the level of deliciousness these açaí bowls contain! They are the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve had quite a few. In addition, their fresh juices are perfect for a quick on-the-go option. The Blessed Mylk is to die for, you wont regret it! Everything I’ve tried from them - breakfast balls, smoothies, juices, açaí bowls - has been absolutely amazing.“

“I’m giving this place a 4/5 stars. I like the fresh juice and smoothie options, the lunch special and the sandwiches are great too. The reason it got a 4/5 is because sometimes they are short staffed and the orders take a long time. I also wish that they had more sauce options for their sandwiches. They only have honey mustard and mayo as an option. Other than that I’m pleased with the food and service at Juice Adventure. Keep it up!“

“Been coming here for many many years. Never ever have I been dissatisfied. Erica pours her heart out into every creation. If it’s not in the menu, all you have to do is let her know how you want it and she’ll make it!! Try every item and believe me.. you’ll keep coming back. This time I ordered a large fruit salad and a chicken salad sandwich with a side of fruit.“

“This place is amazingly clean. Very important! Clean floors, prep tables, all of the above. For a change, I finally found excellent customer service that came with a kind and friendly smile, in fact, the entire staff warmly greets everyone who walks in. The menu is very organized and easy to read with an assortment of savory foods. The person that attended me was Lorena and she made a delicious torta de lomo! The food was done right, on time, and excellent! The management team is on it!!! Thank you Ilyana!“

“Came to this drive thru to try some coffee, my favorite part is that you can park at the target and sit outside or you can just pull up with your car. The baristas were nice and helpful. The drinks we got were a bit slow to come out, which is something you should consider coming here, despite the drive thru (greater than 10min for 2 drinks). Also the drinks we got were pretty sweet so make sure you ask for less sugar if you don't want it to be too sweet. The outdoor seating is cute and not a bad first date spot if the weather is nice!“

“Want a healthy option? This is a great place to get FRESH squeezed juice, salads (which are amazing because they are fresh as well), and everything is delicious. Staff is SUPER friendly and attrntive. Place is clean, clean, clean.They have Acai bowels, dragon fruit, carrot, apple, and all kinds of fruit. Love this spot!Parking: Lots of spotsKid-friendliness: Great for kids.“

“Tucked away in some unassuming strip mall near a busy freeway exit, you will find this little gem of a fruteria. Handsomely-sized chamangos that seem to last forever can be accompanied by some of the tastiest tortas you'll ever have. The prices are absolutely sensible, too. Pro tip: If you ever find yourself dreading the lines and costliness at the nearby amphitheater, roll by Chango Mango beforehand. Stock up. Munch during the crawl to the venue. Enjoy the show afterwards.“

“I was at work and decided to stop and grab some rolled tacos. I parked and went inside, I ordered five rotos and asked if I could use the restroom. She was very politely told me that we don't have a public restroom and our restroom is behind the kitchen, so we don't like to let customers walk through there. But she still said she'd let me use it. I thought that was very nice of her. The food took a little long and I asked if everything was okay being that I was the only one there and, it was only five row tacos. She told me that they were rolling at fresh and it would be ready soon. I appreciate it the freshness, but if I'm being honest, I would have loved if they were ready to fry, and serve and let me get back to work. The road tacos are good, they freed them a little hard for my taste honestly,but good. All in all, very minor things could have been changed to make everything better.“

“Love this place nice walk to enjoy a cup of yummy lentil soup my favorite and also my dragon booster smoothie is just perfect for me. It's my granddaughter favorite place to go when she visits me she love the Acai fruit bowl. Yummy And yummy sandwiches' salads very nice family is so kind everyone there is nice, healthy people vibe and positive friendly atmosphere are always there so happy they are close to home ??so grateful“

“I give this place 4 stars ONLY cuz I've yet to try much of its menu. Otherwise it'd be a 5. However, what keeps bringing me back here is their Chicken Chipotle Nachos. O' mah goodness, they're so freakin' good, for reals! Chips topped with nacho cheese, Chipotle chicken, Chipotle sauce and jalapeños, bro... delicia! Add a li'l of that red salsa they give you and *chef's kiss* Lol! I would've taken a picture but I attacked them nachos like an inmate in the yard. Lol! Tortas I've tried, too, were real good. Ham, de Lomo and asada. Very inexpensive too, might I add! I highly recommend Tortas Oasis.“

“The two female employees (I didn't get their names 10/07/22 8:30pm) were very friendly and helpful, I had some questions and they gladly answered all of them and even told me about a couple of secret menu items to try for next time. I couldn't use my T-mobile $5 bowl deal on the app but once I got there she was able to ring me up and scan my app with no problems. I arrived 30 min before closing and was out of there in two shakes of a lambs tail ? lolThey were very quick in making my order (Chunky Strawberry Bowl) it looked so beautifully presented that I didn't even want to eat it lol it was very delicious ?? ??? thank you so much! Can't wait to go back and try those secret menu smoothies ?“

“I stopped in for the first time and got a mango pineapple smoothie and it was DELICIOUS! One of the best smoothies I've had in a long time. Also the prices are fantastic. 6 bucks for a smoothie - best deal in SD. I saw in previous reviews that they only take cash but they take cards now also.“
