“Súper recomendado este lugar aparte de toda la variedad de Delicias que tienen , serás atendido por una persona súper amable y agradable el Señor Enrique fue un placer llegar y conocerlo“

“It tastes very fresh Açaí to me. I was wondering that how they can bring the Açaí berries from Brazil to USA with keep fresh. It is very healthy fruit. It has antioxidants. If you wish to add-on, you can try Pão de Queijo. You can get "Guarana Antarctica" soda for drink. I would like to strongly recommend you give a try them. Go there! 😄“

“This place is my happy place at the beach, the best people and the best acai bowl ive had compared to any others so far. If i lived by the beach id come every day💛💛“

“Staff is always nice and friendly. fresh healthy tasty smoothies for cheap prices. acai bowls were good also. definitely recommended to anyone. Thank u“

“It’s located inside the LA Fitness, and I was a bit thrown off by the vibe. It’s one older guy sitting on a stool, swiping through his phone, and the place looks like it came out of a run-down convenience store with partially handwritten menus of info and special prices I could hardly read. This is not a fancy place by any means and I think I had a mismatch in what I expected vs. what it was, because I was specifically looking for a nicer place to go. But the smoothie is good, hence the high star rating. I got the chocolate peanut butter banana protein smoothie.“

“This spot is a gem. I came in with what I needed in an a smoothie lol (health reasons) idea of what I needed, but not a specific order, and they customized a smoothie for me effortlessly in like 2.5 seconds …the “Dayne” 😉. No It felt personal in the best way. Quality ingredients, knowledgeable staff, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. THANK YOU SAM & ABBY!!!!!“

“Juice Alchemy is hands down one of the best smoothie spots around—every visit feels like a little boost of energy in more ways than one. The smoothies are always fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients you can actually taste, and the menu has something for whatever you’re craving, whether it’s something refreshing, filling, or packed with nutrients. What really makes the place special, though, is the team—every employee is genuinely kind, welcoming, and happy to help you find the perfect drink. The vibe is always positive, the service is quick, and you leave feeling better than when you walked in.“

“Poor hygiene at the North Park location - When I arrived, the attendants were using their cell phone and they didn't wash their hands before making my drink.“

“Stumbled upon this place looking for a coffee like an hour ago. Had good reviews, decided to try it without any recon on what I wanted to order. I asked about the Kos latte and Owner/Cashier said something I didn’t quite hear except pistachio and cold foam. I said yeah, two of those, one for me and one for my wife. Received the drinks and realized it was matcha, which is fine. I wanted coffee coffee but matcha for caffeine would suffice. Took one sip and almost busted. Holy heck was it amazing. Literally one of the best drinks I’ve ever had the pleasure of trying. Easily best matcha I’ve ever had. Perfectly sweet but stayed true to the pistachio and matcha flavor. Amazing. Sadly I don’t live close enough to visit often but I need to come back to try other drinks. Definitely recommend.“

“Super cute place, lots of coffee options, very friendly staff support your local coffee shops with love.“

“Since Thanksgiving is two months away I tried a pumpkin smoothie today at Pure Press. It actually tastes like a cold pumpkin pie. I'll definitely try it again.“

“Istanbul Doner Kebab delivers exactly what you hope for when you walk into a place carrying that name—authentic flavors, generous portions, and food that feels rooted in tradition rather than adapted for convenience.

The doner itself is the star. The meat is well-seasoned, tender, and cooked with care, with that balance that’s hard to get right: flavorful without being greasy, hearty without being heavy. Portions are substantial—this is not a place where you leave still hungry—and the bread and accompaniments complement the doner instead of distracting from it. You can tell the kitchen respects the fundamentals.

Beyond the doner, the menu offers a solid range of Mediterranean staples, and everything feels thoughtfully prepared rather than rushed. The baklava deserves its reputation—it’s rich without being overwhelming, crisp, and clearly made with attention rather than as an afterthought.

The space itself is warm and inviting. The interior design strikes a nice balance between modern and traditional, with a relaxed atmosphere that works equally well for a casual meal or a longer sit-down. Despite being in a busy downtown area, the restaurant manages to feel grounded and unpretentious.

Service can take a little time during peak hours, but it feels proportional to the care going into the food. This isn’t fast food pretending to be something else—it’s a place where quality and portion size matter more than speed.

Overall, Istanbul Doner Kebab stands out as a reliable, satisfying spot for anyone craving real Mediterranean food in San Diego. Honest flavors, generous plates, and a comfortable atmosphere make it a place worth returning to—not just once, but regularly.“

“I’ve been coming here for a few years now and recently I’ve been coming here almost everyday before work. I love their smoothies, build your own parfaits, and grabbing their immunity boosters for a quick pick me up :) definitely recommend 😋😋“

“just ordered on the doordash app and it was DELICIOUS! Best one I ever had!! Took pic midway through ;)“

“We were only town for 3 days and visited this place twice because it was SO good! The owner was extremely welcoming and friendly, and he even overheard we were visiting from out of town so he recommended some activities and dinner places to try while we were visiting! I got an açaí bowl and a protein smoothie- both were literally made with fresh ingredients right in front of my eyes. I highly highly recommend this place, and the owner truly made our visit so special and we felt so welcomed and appreciated. Thank you!“

“My Favorite ,Chicken Avocado Sandwitch....and the Wasabi Fruit salad ....Come in an Check it ok ... Its All For Good ... .I Totally recommended to anyone that feels like staying healthy delicious food...“

“The best ice cream in San Diego hands down“

“Delicious, light refreshing drinks that are not overly sweet like most places. Also the gal who was giving samples, who else rang me up, was kind and friendly with a positive attitude. Looking forward to coming back and trying a different drink next time! Had the iced hibiscus tea one today and it was so yummy! Didn’t have to ask for half/less sweet. Great place!“

“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.“

“Loved my PBJ smoothie! They also do a military discount which is always great.“

“Very friendly staff. I got a monkey mocha and it was delicious. I saw the orange coconut cake and had to go back later to get some. It was amazing also.“

“Their homemade ice cream“

“Fresh, delicious and affordable“

“los tejuinos están buenísimos muy agradable el lugar especial para tomar un descanso“

“I go here regularly! All smoothies made with fresh fruit!“

“Las tortas están sabrosisimas las mejores que he comido en San Diego“

“If you're anywhere near Pacific Beach and craving something fresh, clean, and insanely delicious, this place is a MUST.
From the moment you walk in, you can tell everything is made with real ingredients — no shortcuts. Their smoothies are on another level: creamy, refreshing, and packed with flavor without that artificial sweetness you get elsewhere. Every sip feels like your body is actually thanking you.
The sandwiches? Surprisingly amazing. Freshly made bread, quality ingredients, and you can literally taste the difference. But the real stars here are their bowls — especially the acai and pitaya. Perfect texture, perfectly balanced sweetness, and loaded with fresh toppings.
What really sets Juice Kaboose apart is that everything is made fresh on the spot with organic fruits and no concentrates — you can actually see the difference in taste and quality. The vibe is clean, positive, and energizing exactly what you want from a healthy spot.“

“The best Seamoss I have tried. Many flavors to chose from at great price. Customer service is to notch. Congrats on your new shop. See ya soon.“

“This coffee spot was just a 5 min walk from our Airbnb. The atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and relaxing. The staff were friendly and attentive, and you can tell they care about quality and customer experience.

To drink, we ordered toasted coconut cold brews, the coffee was delicious, smooth and very flavorful. We also ordered a deluxe avocado toast, and egg salad toast- the sourdough was so good, thick cut, loaded with avocado, arugula, 2 poached eggs and topped with sun-dried tomatoes. Whether you’re looking for a quick coffee run or a cozy place to sit and unwind, this place is definitely worth visiting.

Highly recommend and will absolutely be coming back!“

“We went on a Saturday morning, very cute inside but crowded (because it’s good!!) the staff was friendly, coffee options great, food options great, some street parking. My only consideration would be lack of seating during a busy time, but still a great business that I would return to.“

“Don’t order with your eyes because you won’t finish… trust me, it’s that good! They have to have the “best” Viet BANH CUON (steamed rice rolls) in town! Also the best BANH Mi Chao (Beef, sausage, meatball, eggs, and French roll skillet) for a great value too! I will most definitely come back again …and I live 30 minutes away in East Chula Vista! I highly recommend. 5 STARS!!!“

“Peace Pies is the most healthful and best restaurant in San Diego hands-down! Your tummy will thank you for opting to go raw, whether it’s for your next breakfast, lunch or dinner. Between having multiple locations in the city and working with delivery services like DoorDash and UberEats and GrubHub, it’s never been easier to enjoy raw cuisine crafted by culinary champs. My personal favorite entrée has got to be a tossup between their pizza and their mushroom stroganoff.“

“I really love this cafe. The vibe is always calm and welcoming. It’s also super cute and has great outdoor seating. I had the pistachio iced latte last week and I think I nearly died and went to heaven. It is a must try! The food is good as well! I am hoping they add more plant based protein options so I can go there even more! It’s really my favorite cafe! Also the owners are super nice and friendly!“

“Whyyyyy have I not been here until now!!? Son and daughter in law gave me a gift card for my birthday. Husband and I split the yummy Thai (not too spicy) salad. I added extra peanut butter, honey, and squeezed a key lime from our tree. It was so wonderful!

We each had a Spring Fling for dessert. Best, cleanest, healthiest “eat out” meal in town.

We are now raving fans and repeat customers.“

“First time here !! I can’t believe I work so close to here and I just walked in. Coffees are delicious… the Mazapán iced latte is the best I’ve ever had ! Bagels are delicious and they hook it up with the cream cheese. Very friendly service that makes you feel like you are a regular. Do not pass up on this gem !“

“First time coming here. My sisters recommendation! I love their selection. I try the Thai tea everywhere I go and this place is phenomenal! I like how you can adjust the sweetness and add other modifications and toppings. It’s quite the busy and popular little place! They’re very fast for the line we were in, but fast doesn’t mean lower quality by any means- they kept that up. Thank you for the delicious boba! I’ll be back for sure.“

“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.“

“My favorite healthy breakfast cafe in San Diego! It was so good, we came here twice on our 6 day trip. The food was so fresh and healthy and made me feel good. I got a cinnamon cortado with oatmilk and it was genuinely better than the fancy lattes I got from 2 other actual coffee shops. We loved the protein pancakes and the avocado toast with salmon added was amazing. They have so many good things to try, I can’t wait to come back some day!“

“Me and my wife frequent Jamba Juice but the atmosphere created by the employee named Emily was amazing and deserves a raise and upper management in my opinion the attention to seasonal and joy is a top notch addition to the great drinks!!!!“

“Great teas and bubble waffles! Staff is always cheerful and nice, fun atmosphere 😄“

“Great service and better products!!❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Excellent service and the croissant was so good . Thank you so much. 😋“

“Great vegan pumpkin smoothie. They recommended to add cinnamon and it was delicious!“

“Love their acai bowls with strawberries, blueberries, bananas, granolas,honey and I added peanut butter cause I love peanut butter! Went two days in a row and will keep on coming back!“

“I’m so happy I found this place . I got sick of subway so I went to jimmy John’s. But they only have cold subs there . So this being on just past the bike shop behind jimmy John’s was an oasis since I just like sandwiches for lunch lol .. but my boss likes hot sandwiches and this place is like Ike’s sandwiches but bigger and more items like smoothies and pastry’s and all the stuff you’d expect to see at a perfect deli . It’s a hidden gem.

(Don’t let the water stained windows make you think twice)

: it’s very clean and smells lovely . $14 combo came with sandwich , soup or salad plus chips and a bottled drink .

Mom and pop family business makes it really stand out to me .
best jalepeno cheddar bread and the southwest soup really delicious. they even got this bread I cannot pronounce that was so pungent .

You can’t loose here
Breakfast and lunch hidden gem. Highly recommend. Should be famous.

they don’t use filler or sweetener in the smoothie. Either . I’m stoked I don’t gotta eat subway anymore:)“

“I love this place! You can stop by and get everything always with all the attention of the employees and taste the best things 😋♥️“
