“Charming and well equipped boutique, small town, gourmet grocery, prepared foods, coffee bar, pastry, deli and bakery source with adjacent outdoor eating patio complete with fountain. Easy parking and access from main roads. Located in central strip mall with more boutique retail for after meal stroll. We made time for sandwiches (fabulous but spendy) but lamented not being able to bring more prepared goods with us on the long drive home. (Everything looked wonderful and locals swarmed.) Recommend a pop-in.“
“Small breakfast spot that gives huge portions. There are plenty of delicious options, particularly the acai bowls, and a create your own bowl feature as well. I got the power bowl with protein and it was very filling. Decorative seating area that gives off a chill vibe.“
“Good coffee, excellent breakfast burritos, and prompt service make The Daily Grind on DLV a frequent stop. I usually get a latte here and they are generally good sized and well prepared. We absolutely love the sausage burrito. It is a generous serving and includes very hot and flavorful sauce. Delicious. The place is typically busy, but the service is prompt. The staff's attitude runs the gamut from genuinely friendly to a little surely. But that's OK. I'm like that too. We return here every chance we get.Parking: Park in the back. It's usually available.“
“I order from their app almost everyday. It’s always made perfect! I walk in and unless it’s a new employee they know who I am and automatically get my order from the fridge without me having to wait barely or need to say anything! It’s nice to be recognized as a loyal customer! They all recognize that I’m a customer who dislikes waiting or chitchatting. I’m in and out within a minute or two max and I really appreciate that. What they don’t know is I work 2 full time jobs and I take care of my parents in between those which doesn’t allow me much precious time I spend with them. I’m usually starving and like something light before I do dinner with the rents. They have givin me more time that means so much. Definitely 10 star service! I’ll see you tomorrow ! “
“A cute little smoothie shop that's a smaller chain in SoCal -- there's a few locations in the SB area, so stopped in during our vacation on Christmas Eve morning. The employees are nice and efficient with making our drinks, and we were really appreciative that it was open at all over the holiday weekend. I got the Peanut Butter Banana smoothie with Chocolate, with an Energy boost -- all of the smoothies come with one free boost, but you can pay for others. It was delicious and refreshing, and we drove a short while to enjoy it at the beach. I cannot recommend it enough!“
“I recently tried the sugar-free peanut butter cup, and it exceeded my expectations. Although it seemed small, it was incredibly rich and surprisingly satisfying. I also got the special of the day – three tacos for $7 – and they were delicious. Highly recommended!Vegetarian options: Tacos“
“Delicious acai bowl!! I came for breakfast and got the Works (16 oz) size with granola, chia pudding, peanut butter, vegan protein powder, and fruit. The presentation of the various layers was beautiful, and it also made it more enjoyable to eat (unlike most acai bowls with acai on the bottom and all the toppings on top where it's hard to mix the flavors around). I loved that they offered a great selection of unlimited toppings, especially chia pudding and vegan protein powder. The server was very kind and efficient. It was quiet and peaceful on a weekend morning. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in Santa Barbara!“
“We go here regularly. He gets the large Caesar with chicken; I get the Ranch Salad (which, despite what it sounds like, does not have ranch dressing) with lemon herb vinaigrette. And when we are extra hungry, we get a cup of chili with a piece of cornbread (which can come with honey butter, which is great). A solid lunch or dinner choice with healthy choices. Order at the counter, the staff delivers quickly and is attentive to additional needs.“
“The food was SOOOO YUMMY and it made me feel great after eating it. My mom was sort of scared of going to such a healthy place but even SHE loved it. We got avocado toast, the breakfast bagel and the gluten free bread with cashew cream cheese. Each was delicious and we will come again! Also loved my macha. Service was great and ambiance felt clean and healthy.“
“I think you can judge a good business by your good experiences, but I can always tell a great business when you see them respond to a poor experience. First, I had one bad experience out of a couple hundred excellent experiences. And from this experience I can see ownership is kind, they listen, and they just feel like good people.I often go in and get two shakes. Some of my favorites are the original and I get it with orange sherbet instead of the plain frozen yogurt it is like the 50/50 but with strawberries.And I love the red banana - and any smoothie that has the word tropical or colada in it are excellent.I recently tried their focus health blends - they come with Stevia which many people like, but I don't and Nora suggested honey - its one of my favs now. So remember they allow substitution and you can add or subtract things and make your blenders just the way you like it.All of the women that work there are some of the hardest quickest working and polite workers I have seen. Some of the men are too. But some of the guys need to focus on some maturation in their job performance from how they hold themselves, to how they greet people.“

“Clean, healthy, organic, non gmo food and juice. AH Juice is beacon of light in the quest to find real food and beverage these days. Our health is our wealth and I can rest easy when I order here. Fast service, all my orders come out quickly and correct. Minimal waste in each order, I appreciate their eco conscious approach and sustainability efforts. Immunity tonic, Beet & greens, bone broth, chicken noodle soup all my favorites. Looking to try a few salads and sandwiches in the near future. Added to my pleasure, they are currently available on Door Dash which has been my saving grace, the past 2 years I have been swamped with work related projects and now a renovation. It takes a lot of time to shop for your own healthy safe ingredients and prepare them into tasty dishes, AH Juice has taken that burden off of me for now, there are currently not that many places that have this quality with delivery service, big thank you!“
“I came for breakfast and got the power bowl in a regular (medium) size, without honey so that it's vegan. It was a decent acai bowl. The toppings were in a thick layer on top and all the acai was on the bottom so it was kind of hard to mix the flavors around - probably it would've been better if the container was more of a wider bowl rather than a tall narrow cup. There were too many almonds for my taste, but the other toppings were good. The acai blend was tasty, not overly sweet, and the bowl was filling.“
“Juice cleanse needed, come here! They have various combinations to choose from and instructions on which one to take and how often through out the day. You have the option to do a half day cleanse or full day. The half day consists of three full size and the shots. The full day is six full size juices. You have the option to order ahead on their app or just walk in and make your order. I recommend that you start with cleanse 2. The cleanse 3 is very green juice intensive for those that are just starting out or are not too tolerant of citrus acidity. If you do not want to do the cleanse, they have individual mix and match juices to drink for your liking. They have freezes as well healthier alternative to frozen yogurt or that ice cream craving. Located in the center of the Paseo Nuevo mall.“
“VALUE. Wow. A big old 24 ounce smoothie with fresh veggies for $6.50 - and they through in a free supplement so I added spinach. The only thing better than these prices into today’s inflationary environment was the taste and quality of the smoothie - well done team.“
“I love these sweet treat joints like this. This one is somewhere tucked away on lower Milpas. They have so many Popsicle flavors I was in disbelief for a minute. Any ice cream flavor you could think of, they have it. They make much more then just ice cream and popsicles too. I encourage people to try places like this, I love going to places off the beaten path. When I was there it was quiet and no one else was in the shop. The tables were clean and the workers were happy. I didn't feel pressured to order as I browsed ALL the flavors in the case. I feel the ice cream isnt exactly " artisanal" but its nice and sugary anyways. Are these Michoacana places a chain? I see them popping up more and more.“
“The food was excellent. The only negative part was the service by Rosemary. Perhaps since it was Christmas and their buffet at 7pm. She basically just came to take plates, checked on us twice but NEVER asked if we wanted more drinks or filled our Perrier. We also wanted more wine but she always came when only one of us was at the table and left quickly. It was disappointment since we love their wine selection. The service was by far the worst at a RC I've ever had. Definitely disappointing dinner experience. Food, Valet and the driver were excellent. My boyfriend felt bad for the server and said she's older and probably tired. I disagreed since RC has high standards and they should be followed no matter age, They need to retrain her or move her so she is not to deal with people since she cannot provide the service quality all guest should expect.“
“I'm glad I was hinted towards this absolute juwel of a cafe! The chocolate croissant paired with the Hawaii 5-0 smoothie is incredibly delicious and the best I've ever had in the US. But honestly, it's the staff that has me raving about the place: Awesome and very kind people! Strong recommendation if you're in SB!“
