I was so excited to find a place near my home that could make a boba milk tea without dairy. I called to make sure. When I arrived I saw that they had food so I asked if there was any seasoning in the potato and I was told no but then I was told I was they weren't sure when I shared that I would go into anaphylactic shock if there was. I was then told to not order it then and to order something else that I'm not allergic to. Unfortunately the only things on their menu that I wasn't allergic to or at least thought I might not be would be the potato, egg, and tortilla. I asked what was in the potatoes the person said they didn't know it came in a package. I asked if I could see the ingredients of the package I was told that the package was thrown away. I asked where it was purchased from so I can look it up online and I was told that they were too busy and had to go make the food. I shared okay I will wait and then the person said just order something you're not allergic to and I explain I don't know if I'm not allergic to it if I don't know what's in it and the only thing on the menu that I had seen that I thought I wasn't allergic to was the tortilla, egg, and potato. I was told it was purchased at Costco, so I asked potatoes from Costco and I was told repeatedly each time I ask the same question that the person had to go make the food and it just pick something else. It was a really crappy experience if you have allergies do not go here. Had I gone with what the first person shared that there wasn't anything in the potatoes and didn't sure I'd go in anaphylaxic shock who knows what would have happened. I'm extremely sad because I didn't even get to try the Boba milk tea and was really excited to have a place so close to my home that opens early that has boba. read more

By the shattered glass case of my hopes and dreams... Café Aero, we need to talk. I walked into Café Aero expecting an iced latte--cool, refreshing, flavorful, a trusted companion on a busy day. What I received instead was an astonishingly expensive cup of chilled disappointment. This latte had all the personality of a manila envelope and about as much flavor as a polite nod. I kept sipping, convinced the taste would arrive eventually. It did not. The ice was doing most of the heavy lifting, while the coffee itself seemed confused about why it was there at all. For the price I paid, I expected richness, depth, maybe even a whisper of joy. Instead, I got a beverage that asked nothing of me and gave even less in return. Look, I'm not angry--I'm just disappointed. Disappointed and slightly poorer. Café Aero has the vibe, the name, the potential... but the iced lattes need a serious wake-up call. I want to believe. I really do. But until then... I'll be taking my caffeine--and my hard-earned dollars--elsewhere. read more

Great place to grab a pretty good sandwich and drink at a reasonable price as long as you're hungry early because they close pretty early in the afternoon. If there's more than a couple customers ahead of you the wait may be a few minutes but the food is good enough to wait. I hope this place keeps improving because it's very convenient, satisfying and affordable. Very much recommended! read more

Great place to eat, friendly customer service ALWAYS & Ariel the owner/cook is so kind and such a nice peaceful place to eat in the courtyard! Highly recommend eating here read more

Ariel is amazing every time we order from her ! Food is great 10/10 recommend this spot !!

UPDATE: I've tried their Super California Sandwich for lunch one day and it's absolutely fresh and delicious! I usually get sourdough but there are other bread options! I made a phone order this morning and Stacy definitely knows me as the "mocha girl" haha! I absolutely love how convenient this place is and I'm always satisfied with the customer service and food! Thank you Ariel & Stacy for always making my day! read more

So I want to start by saying that the girl working the counter was very nice, which is why I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. Now, I ordered a Reuben sandwich, which is predominantly a corned beef sandwich with some garnishes, one of which is sauerkraut. What I received was a sauerkraut sandwich with a single, thin layer of beef garnish on top. On what planet, would anybody think this is a sandwich that should have been made is beyond me. read more

I like this small business. The young women who works here is just really nice. She's very pleasant. Can get busy. Making an online order is super easy. Prices are pretty good. Food is good. Snacks are always pretty filled. But lots of small options available. Good amount of seating. In a nice little spot. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Convienent mini cafe in the middle of healthcare offices and other offices. Staff is friendly. There is plenty on the menu to choose from. Healthy options such as salads and soups, plenty of comfort food to choose from also. My grilled cheese was DELICIOUS. Food comes out promptly. Cash or credit is accepted. There are areas to sit around the cafe. Would definitely try more options on the menu if I am back in the area. read more

Cafe aero is right outside in the courtyard of several business (and possibly residential) buildings. Walking up, we were unsure if we wanted to eat there and the gentleman at the counter was inviting and pleasant. Once we decided to have some sandwiches, he was very helpful and accommodating with our preferences. We both ordered vegetarian sandwiches, but with the modifications, they were nothing like one another. Because they had no meat, we were able to get avocado for no up-charge. Sandwiches came up in a timely manner, and we decided to stay in the courtyard and eat them which was open and had ample seating. Sandwiches were fresh and tasty! If ever I'm back in this area, I wouldn't hesitate to return :) read more

Since they got new owners or change in employees (I was told they weren't under new management by the girl working there) the food has not been good. The service is slow they've revamped the look but a bad job in the customer service . I will not be returning. read more

Great food and great service! I love all the wraps they make and everything is so tasty!

Excellent service, yummy food! Super convenient when I'm at work :) I call ahead and they always have my order on time.

I had the best grilled cheese with avocado and bacon from here. The people working were friendly and suggested the bacon add on which of course I said yes to. Quick, convenient and well priced; this is one of my new favorite lunch places in the area read more

I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap today and it hardly had any buffalo chicken. I was charged $7.99 and I felt cheated and ripped off. Most of the wrap was lettuce and red onions. Definitely won't be ordering that again... read more

Great food and service. Cafe has comfort food and healthy options. Affordable prices. Hardworking couple running the place. Sometimes orders come out wrong when they're busy, but just talk to them they're always willing to redo for free. Will come again. read more

Went to try this cafe today, as it's close to our office and had good reviews, however, after today I can assure you we will NOT be coming back. Our order consisted of two sandwiches both of which were made incorrectly. The first sandwich came with missing ingredients and the second, after specifically saying Sourdough, Mayo, Turkey, Pepper Jack, Lettuce, and Onion ONLY came with Tomatoes added. Upon explaining that I am allergic to this ingredient I was told "You didn't say no Tomatoes". They took back the sandwich and removed the tomatoes. If I simply didn't like them this would be one thing, however, when saying your allergic to an item removing them isn't going to remove 100% of the tomato and a new sandwich must be made. The other sandwich we ordered was missing Mayo. Upon having that added and the other remade we were given our order with MUCH attitude as they slammed the food door shut. I get not everyone is going to be pleasant to deal with, but the customer service given was awful. I will say they do give a decent amount of Meat and Cheese on their sandwiches, but that's the only compliment I have to give after the experience today it will be my first and my last time to this Cafe. read more

Cool spot in the middle of the business center. Would be a great place to grab lunch and soak in the sun. The person who took my order was very personable (wish I can give you an extra star for complimenting the hint of vanilla in my perfume). I ordered the Oriental Chicken salad minus the chicken. It was delish... fresh ingredients. Wish they added more almonds and some sesame seeds for added zing. Will definitely come back to try their sandwiches. read more

I work in an office complex that has this little cafe as part of it's business family and I am so stoked because besides being a decent little cafe, the folks that run it are pretty friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Betty is the young lady you will find most days at the register, sometimes very nice, sometimes just okay but always polite and fast. The menu has a nice little assortment of breakfast doo dads, sandwiches, burritos etc and all fairly priced. The breakfast burrito with your choice of meat, potatoes and eggs is big and heavy and will easily carry you through to the evening. Every day there is a different lunch special which will include a salad, bag of chips and a drink for under $7. The food is always fresh, tasty, and of decent portions. Try the Chinese chicken salad wrap and you will be very happy. Also, they have a killer BLT to which they add a thin layer of cream cheese (which on second thought will kill you if you eat it too much I suppose.) They make a home chicken soup that is absolutely delish and my coworkers tell me that their other soups are just as good. They also have fountain sodas, the usual assortment of breads and cookies on the counters and an espresso machine but you want to skip that if you're picky about your coffees. We have tried several different businesses in the area, exploring by foot and by car but we always come back to the cafe. I would rather give my money to a local business who appreciates my coworkers and I as opposed to some chain or even larger business that could care less if you come back or not. There is a nice patio on the side of the cafe and on a beautiful sunny, San Diego day, it's a good place to eat and people watch...and it won't kill your wallet! read more

I don't even like sandwiches but this place is an exception. My favorite is their California sandwich on squaw and the tuna melt toasted on sourdough with cheddar. They even have a loyalty card where you can eventually get a free sandwich. read more

I love the breakfast burritos they offer and the fact that they are open super early... the only thing missing is the smile of the cook Yessi... she always makes us fell welcome and she is very attentive. ): Where is Yessi??? read more

Overpriced, very plain food. Only reason I would consider eating here again is if I did not have time to go anywhere else. And even then I would consider just not eating. By far, one of the worst breakfast burritos I have ever eaten. It is like they dropped an entire package of pepper into the egg mix, had this issue on more than one occasion. Now I have learned just to never go back. read more

If you want some out-of-this-world delicious Chicken Tortilla Soup...... come on over to this little hidden gem. If you want out-of-this-galaxy amazing customer service.... come on over and see Sammy.

This is a great place to get some food, tucked away in the office buildings here on Aero drive. They have really delicious sandwiches, my favorite being the super delicious...and as the name would suggest it's **drum roll** super delicious: roast beef and turkey with provolone cheese, sourdough bread, with the standard fixings of lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard. Add some sprouts and you're really going towards sandwich perfection. The ladies who work here are super nice and my sandwiches are always made perfectly. Stop by and grab a bite to eat! If you get there in the morning, their breakfast burritto with salsa and eggs is delicious, too! read more

Location closed. The sandwiches were getting worse and worse. Maybe that's why they are closed. Does anyone know the new location?

Had a craving for a sandwich and looked up sandwich shops close to my work address. Only a block away and I will be making that walk a LOT! Food was fresh and delicious. Only problem was it made my craving worse! Had the roast beef on squaw bread and added avocado and sprouts. Bread was fresh and soft and the roast beef tasted like it was just cut fresh. Love the fact that they have a good selection of chips and not just the standard selection. Took off one star for price. Decent price ($8 for sandwich & specialty chips) but wish they wouldn't charge extra for sprouts. All in all it was a great meal, service was friendly and fast. Will definitely be back...soon and often! read more

Let's keep this place on the down low, mkay? There are tons of other lunch places in the area for people who don't know about this one, and I don't need my favorite place for wraps getting clogged up with the Kearny Mesa work lunch rush. This deli is one of those little lunch spots tucked away in a business park. I only found it because I noticed their teeny little staked sign along Aero Drive one day. Super friendly guy named Sammy runs the place; he'll remember your name if you come back more than once. He'll probably even remember what you ordered last time. I listen to him chat it up with the customers in line in front of me, making each one feel like he's glad they are there. Then, there's the wraps. Stay away from this place on Wednesdays, because that is the only day they serve their buffalo chicken wrap. Sometimes they sell out, and I'll kill ya if you take the last one before I get there. I really like that I can get a decent lunch for under $10 in the area, that isn't fast food. Oh! And they have great breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos, too. Both are very inexpensive. read more
