“An amazing roaster with a great selection of baked goods. Highly recommend the Cortado, chocolatey, smooth and made by an excellent staff! We always look forward to our visit! Excellent coffee“

“Delicious cookies and amazing custom cookie cake! Ice cream was great too.“

“I was nervous about the flavors, mostly because I didn’t know what they were! But was able to taste test and decided on the Quattroberry and stracciatella. Delicious! Great price- $6.50 for two big scoops! Definitely wanted to go back. Try the dragon fruit/lemon one- super tart and so good!“

“Best Ice creams , sply double fold vanila and honey lavender“

“The BEST gluten free waffle cone I've come across. We were at Legoland from out of state and drove our rental car down i5 for the 15 minutes to get there. It was well worth it! Hubby got the carrot cake and mixed berry dairy ice cream and said they were very good. I loved it was all hand made in house with awesome ingredients. My son and I are gluten and dairy free, we got the double chocolate vegan ice cream in a gluten free cone. He was so excited to have a cone. The vegan ice cream was delicious. This place will stay on our list if we are ever back in the area.“

“The main thing to call out about this salt and straw (although I'm almost scared to) is that parking is plentiful and the line is much shorter compared to the one in little Italy! Other than that, try their take on cookie dough—it's great“

“Fives across the board! The gelato and chocolate here is incredible and the service is the same if not better. Gianna was kind enough to let me sample some of the chocolates and patiently explained each of the products I asked about. I will definitely be stopping by again soon!“

“simply delicious and fast service“

“Was in San Diego for a short trip and saw this place and decided to give it a shot. Amazing experience. The staff is so nice and even helped me pick flavors based on what I like. They ask if you have any allergies. They are so kind and helpful. This place is a gem! Will definitely be coming back here when I’m in town.“

“Many ice cream flavors, all delish!“

“I’m gonna give 4 star because we love ice cream but the kid working today was the stingiest sample giver ever. Tbh I’m shocked how little was the sample, literally from corner like there is no ingredients in it me to understand actual flavor.

He ruined my ice cream experience literally. We came there happy want some ice cream, you don’t need to make us feel bad like we ask for something wrong. I thought maybe he owns the store or his relatives lol.

We were talking on the way back with my husband, if the owner would know how funny his samples, I think he would be mad. That’s not a good service.

May 29 Friday around 5.30-6 pm.

I won’t visit this store again, I’ll go other ones or maybe just buy from store.“

“You can go just about anywhere and find a FroYo shop with a wide variety of flavors and toppings. What really makes Yogurt World UCSD special is the service and the atmosphere. Both times I have gone here with my daughters, we have been treated like important guests and made to feel welcome. The owner even gave little duck toys to each of my daughters, which made their day. He even took an interest in my story, which I truly appreciated.

We have a favorite FroYo place here in San Diego, and it is Yogurt World UCSD!“

“Sweet Cream Biscuits & Peach Jam!!! Sublime! I got addicted to Jeni’s while visiting Florida (Publix carries it). Ecstatic to find a Jeni’s parlor right here at home! Great staff, huge variety of flavors, inviting spot to sit and savor the creamy, decadent goodness“

“The community is very fortunate to have Anthony and his team to make this area of the campground a place for everyone to enjoy. The views, facilities and lets not forget the music and giving artists a venue to share thier talents. What a Great venue for locals and the surrounding communities. I would like to add, it is very difficult for Anthony and his team to keep this business going. I have notice a few people and groups are bringing in thier own food and drinks. This makes it very difficult for the Campstore to stay in business. All the things they do for the holidays and Jurassic Animals for the kids, this cost a lot. Can we just enjoy something special that they have built for all of us to enjoy. Let's support the staff, management and leadership with our patronage.“

“Great place to bring the family and friends. We go ad least once a week.“

“delicious ice cream, great location! Perfect local spot …“

“Can’t stop eating these. Go to the gas station by my house for a Mint & Chocolate one at least three times a week 🙈 Would love to buy a box if possible! 🐷“

“Thank you Woofpac for dropping off some Advent calendars at our veterinary hospital! These are honestly the first treats that every single one of my dogs loved! I will be stopping by Irvine Spectrum soon to get them more goodies 🐶❤️“

“This is a must try!! Love the “tour” they took us on to try all the flavors. I’d come here every day if I could. Highly recommend the leather flavor, but they change their flavors every once in a while. Large servings, I got a small for reference!“

“Best ice cream in town and it’s open late.“

“GREAT experience at the Golden Spoon the other night, came with my cousin. Marcus was serving up top-notch frozen yogurt AND service. Great flavors to choose from, packed with a wide selection of toppings, culminating in a creamy tower of deliciousness (seriously, he built that thing up like a skyscraper). Will definitely be going back, and thanks again for making our night, Marcus!“

“Was delicious, lots of options & I did all vegan which was still amazing!!! Will definitely be back when in town!“

“Wonderful place with excellent service, only wish they would get licorice ice cream . Yummy“

“So pleased a Pinkberry opened so close to home! This location has been my go to for a while. Staff is always super nice, and the frozen yogurt is delicious. I always try to include some original tart in each order, then sometimes try a new flavour alongside. This time I stopped in to redeem a free birthday reward!“

“I've gone here multiple times and have always encountered the same guy working behind the counter. He is always super nice and friendly, and clearly cares a lot about his job. The ice cream is overall pretty good, and the portions are on the bigger side in my opinion.“

“Nice place! Great service“

“This place has the great yogurland flavors that you expect, but what stood out was the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. The yogurt stations were well kept and all the toppings were fresh (including the nuts). You can tell that the owner/staff really care for the place. We look forward to visiting again!“

“The best yogurt ever!!! My grandkids are obsessed.“

“Great Italian Pastries and coffee in the morning and perfect Italian sandwiches at lunch. Ken and his family know how to bake!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ (4.4/5 Stars)
If you find yourself down in San Diego needing to top off your car battery, Pauly's Pizza Joint is the perfect neighborhood pizza parlor to hit up! It makes for a fantastic, productive pit stop where you can plug in and treat yourself to an amazing meal while you wait. 🔌🚗⚡
The star of the show here is definitely their **good slices**. They serve up classic, large New York-style slices with a beautifully thin, crispy crust that has the perfect fold. 🍕 The cheese-to-sauce ratio is spot on, and they don't skimp on the toppings. It’s exactly what a neighborhood slice shop should taste like—comforting, fresh, and consistently delicious.
But don't just stop at the pizza! Their menu features some incredibly **good sides** as well. 🍟 From perfectly seasoned, crispy garlic knots to hearty wings, everything pairs beautifully with a cold beverage and adds a great variety to your meal. To top it all off, they offer some surprisingly **great desserts** to satisfy your sweet tooth before you hit the road again. 🍪🍰 It’s a complete meal experience from start to finish.
The vibe inside is relaxed, unpretentious, and welcoming, with counter service that is quick and friendly. They get your food out fresh and piping hot, meaning you can easily finish a couple of slices and a treat in the time it takes to get a solid charge on your EV. ⏱️🍕
Whether you are a local or just passing through the area looking for a charging oasis, this place is a rock-solid 4.4-star neighborhood staple that delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended! 🌟👌“

“Very friendly and helpful staff! Quick to pick up over the phone and put in an order, and also has plenty of mobile pickup options with a variety of customizations.

And the pizza is super tasty. It tastes fresh and the crust is great, not a tasteless afterthought as many pizza places tend to make it.“

“It was my first time going to this place. We ordered the mangonada. The service was great and they even offered us suggestions of changes that might go well with what we bought. I went with the suggestion and it was great. Price was 7$ for the mangonada. If we’re ever around again we’ll go back here.“

“I love Crumbl cookies so much. This place is amazing. They have the best cookies there. I’m really excited to try today. The Dubai chocolate brownie and I go there all the time with my mom and we always love eating their cookies. Love you, Crumbl❤️“

“My family loves coming to yogurt shack. Mike has always been great to our family and friends that we have had with us. We really appreciate the fair pricing, excellent yogurt and great atmosphere (plus the daily riddles!). Thanks for being such a great neighborhood yogurt shop!“

“Menchies is one of the best frozen yogurt places to go! Menchies is incredibly delicious and the flavors are so smooth and delicious 😋. If you are in the area and looking for something soothing and refreshing you know where to go. The workers are very nice and joyful 😁. When I eat this yogurt there's just a burst of flavors in my mouth, it is like a sunset at the beach. There's many delicious toppings to chose from.“

“This was the most amazing cookie that I ever tried in my life, even though it was kinda hard, but you just have to warm it up and yeah, I really liked eating here. Definitely coming back for more. Definitely tell my friends about this. I’m here just for free cookie bye.“

“Let me start by saying that Alex, with an amazing attitude, kindness and smile was super 👌 🙏🙏..
Came here to do a job, walked in and he greeted me with this an incredible attitude!!! Not to mention the cheese cake. Delicious.

Thank you Alex.“

“The bestttt frozen yogurt in north county in my opinion. They have the BEST flavors, my favorite are the Blueberry, Pistashio , & Pomegranate the non fat versions, so creamy. My kids love the cookies & cream. They are out alot & one time i walked in & it was super unkept, made me a little sad but i know it happens. Also LOVE mochi , but they are out alot 😭 But i love this place worth the money .“

“juicy burgers and great shakes“

“I didn't want to go but am glad I did. Perfect size for a day trip. Not too big you get lost, and you can get thru it in 1 day. Food options were not good around closing. They all close an hour before the park so don't wait. Lines were not bad. Very clean restrooms. Very clean!
I would definitely go again, but would plan better. We went spur of the moment, still a good time. Excellent for little ones.
Parking is pricey....“
