But what really stole the show was their Bloody Mary—it was hands down the best I've ever had. It had just the right amount of spice and tanginess to wake up my taste buds.The service here was exceptional too. Every staff member I encountered was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made for a delightful atmosphere.Overall, T's Cafe exceeded my expectations in every way. If you're in the mood for a delicious breakfast served with a side of warmth and hospitality, look no further. My new favorite spot.“

“Best Açai bowl in San Diego!!! Not only does this place have the best tasting bowls, but they come in at the best value by far. They have the largest variety of toppings I have ever seen. When I walk in I feel like a kid in a candy shop, except I am an adult, and this is way better than candy. It is a make it your self custom style bar, and they always make the bowls so artistic and pretty. It is one of my favorite spots to bring friends to. Only a 5 minute walk from Fletcher’s Cove beach. The staff is always friendly. I come in so often, the owner Nick has my order memorized. Generous servings, always, served with a smile every time. I love this place. Even their plastic wares are compostable. I would give it 10/10 stars if Google would let me. If you’re looking for Açai, this is the spot. You won’t be disappointed!“

“We used Expedia to book and for some reason the site kept giving us an error and when it finally let us book, it had changed the date from the 15/16 to 25.. it was non refundable. The incredible staff at the Sheraton handled it, got us our room and we just got an email informing us that we would be getting a refund for the 25. My suggestion is to call the hotel and book your rooms through them. Beautiful property, room and beds super comfy for a reasonable price.. the staff are very nice and helpful. Pool was warm and the hot tub was excellent after long day of walking..“

“Chef Felix and family put together an excellent meal. Every. Single. Day.I've been going here for 4+ years and am still going back. Everytime Chef curates, weekly, a menu and will even still make you almost anything you can cook on a skillet. From flatbreads, to home made soups, and a Cubano I would fight you for, they make a bit of everything.¡Provecho!“

“Enjoyed our dinner at Bazille on the second floor of the Nordstrom in the UTC mall! Love the quaint bistro feel.

Recommend if you’re looking for a place to take a break while shopping.“
