I love this place! I go here every weekend. The staff are wonderful and the coffee is very good. It's important to note, though, that the coffee flavor changes a LOT depending on which staff makes it.My biggest gripe is that being inside the building just sucks a bit. It's always somehow too hot and humid despite the outside temperature, and the music is always waaay too loud, to the point you almost have to shout to talk to the person next to you. The themeing on the inside is very nice, but as soon as a crowd is in there its just suffocating to be inside.Also, it's near impossible to get into the building on a wheelchair if the doors are closed. The doors open on a slight ramp/hill, they are very heavy, and you have to open both of the doors to fit in because a single door is too narrow for a wheelchair.Wheelchair accessibility: It is very difficult to enter the café in a wheelchair because of how heavy the front doors are. There is also no wheelchair accessible seating.

Love this place. Quick friendly service and the food is delicious. California turkey and a green juice is perfect combo.

I got a chicken club and the avocado was grey and brown, how was it not obvious when preparing the sandwich that a rotten avocado shouldn't be put in a sandwich?? Extremely disappointed :(I'm being nice by not attaching a photo. Plz hold your workers accountable, I love supporting this small local business but I have fully lost my trust in you guys

Seriously the best cafe! My go to spot for lunch they have literally everything you could want. Their acai is so fresh (not sorbet) and their sandwiches are amazing! Incredible prices and awesome location - can walk to the bay easily! Love this place so much! The owner is also the nicest and the staff is really friendly!

SAVE YOUR MONEY. I went here to support a local store . The boys working are too concerned about feeding themselves. I got a regular bagel with cream cheese . It took 10 minutes to get my food . I was so upset after I paid and saw themPull Thomas bagels out of the fridge . I should have cancelled my order . I expected a fresh bagel from a place like this . I had to bites and threw it away . I don't normally waste food but if I wanted to type it bagel I would have went to Vons . What a waste of my $5 . The music was loud and vulgar . Do better crown point . Stick with Starbucks or better buzz next time

I placed an order online with a 30 minute wait. I get there on time and I wait another 25 minutes....the smoothie lacked in flavor. The egg cheese and bacon bagel was average at best and super greasy. The lack of staffing is a glaring issue at this place.Parking: The parking is terrible

Just the right place to soak up a little sun and eat a healthy lunch. We had the spicy tuna, a smoothly, and an incredibly tasty acai bowl. The food was freshly prepared and the fruit in the acai bowl seemed perfectly ripe, even this early into the season. The quaint location at the corner of two relatively quiet neighborhood streets offered a nice respite from the busier parts of San Diego. Lovely lunch for three.

I've gotten Acai from places all around San Diego but this place takes the cake. It's made fresh, unlike places that use a pre made sorbet. The fruit is always perfectly ripe and their coconut topping is to die for. The prices are better than most places and the owners are very friendly!

Best acai in San Diego! Prices match other acai in the area but you get so much more here. The base is blended in the store not pre bought and frozen - would recommend!! Staff is always nice too and it's quick

Natalie Luciani

Best acai in san diego by far! The prices are equal to other acai places but you seem to get twice the amount. Friendly staff, and cute place for breakfast

Get the brunch bagel. You won't be disappointed!! I also really love their sandwiches & breakfast bagels. The godfather is probably our fav sandwich. The açaí & pitaya bowls are also FIRE! Everything is fresh & delicious & made quickly with care. Love this spot! Walking distance to the bay too(:

Best açaí bowl I’ve ever had. Avocado toast and bagels were fire as well.

I originally thought it was a touch expensive, but not too bad for the area. But then we got our food and the portions were huge! Plus everything was delicious and tasted super fresh

I live in Oceanside and I drive up to this spot whenever I want the best açaí bowl I have ever tasted… açaí goes nutz!
