    Ice cold brew with almond milk
    Laura C.

    Such a beautiful clean coffee shop. I love the charming surf board decor and the large area of seating, very nice and spacious for someone who enjoys their privacy while conversing among friends. The woman on staff was super delightful at the register, and I really enjoyed the coffee and variety on the menu. This was a place I'd recommend for someone to catch up with a friend over good coffee for certain.

    I was on a morning walk and stumbled upon this gem. Amazing service and a cute little stand. I got an iced chai latte and it was beautifully crafted with a foamy consistency. Also ordered a jalapeño bagel with cream cheese! It was delectable! Will definitely come back again.

    Large raspberry white mocha on a chilly evening is perfect!

    We arrived just before it closed and they were nice enough to take our coffee order, which was perfect because the evenings get a bit chilly and we needed warm beverages! The service is excellent and the ambiance is awesome. They have several flavored syrups. It has both outdoor and indoor seating. Stop in when you're in Ocean Beach!

    Stopped here before hitting the road to drive to Joshua tree. I had a wonderful latte and was so impressed with the options for juices and smoothies. I'd love to come back to try one next time!

    Great atmosphere and great açaí bowl. The plain bagel with cream cheese I would never order again. It was too plain like cardboard. The cream cheese was the only thing that made it edible.

    Had to stop here while heading to the beach. It was the perfect refreshment to get a smoothie. The staff working were so nice and friendly making small talk. It was a very pleasant experience.

    bella bowl and iced matcha with oat milk
    Squish C.

    Really delicious açaí bowl and pretty good matcha. I haven't tried their coffee and I can't vouch for that but I really enjoyed their matcha. I don't think it was ceremonial grade but it had a good sweetness (similar to a starbucks matcha) and was almost vanilla-y. The bella bowl portion was super big and it was delicious. I would definitely come back here next time i'm in OB.

    Outdoor spacious patio with comfy seating options for all.

    Very good, but the açaí sorbet could be a little bit better. They have some very good toppings and very nice workers.

    Five stars for the service, but the iced coffee and açaí bowl weren't my favorite. Maybe other items are better.

Everything is gluten, dairy free and raw and vegan. No refined sugar either! We both enjoyed a wrap- my husband had the falafel and I had the mango. The wraps are likely made with coconut and dehydrated. They were good to eat! The sprouts alone were worth the money! The plants outside give it a nice earthy, hippy vibe and we ended up talking with a family there. It's nice to be among others who like the same type of things. They had driven an hour to come there and loaded up on take home items and a cookbook too! You know it's good and unique if you see that!! We are visiting from Washington so we were super happy to make this our first food out of the anniversary trip! We will be back for sure! The only problem? We were so full, we couldn't eat both halves of the wrap. But don't worry, the Twix replica and the mint chocolate "cheese" cake were able to fit in our tummy's!! Highly recommend for every raw vegan (be ok with nuts!) and any healthy eating non vegan as well.

I will continue coming back to support this business! They are consistent with their bowls and smoothies too which is great!

    Everbowl -- Loma Portal, San Diego…read more Back in my natural habitat. Ordered the Large PB Everbowl because confidence was high and hunger was higher. Respectfully... the large fought back. Let's start with the good. Flavor? Solid. Peanut butter showed up like a starter, not a bench player. Ingredients were fresh, clean, and legit. Now the audit. The ratios on the large made mixing feel like a CrossFit session. I was excavating toppings only to discover a thick reserve of untouched açaí at the bottom. Structurally ambitious. Practically challenging. Professional recommendation: Order the medium. Better balance. Better blend. Less archaeological digging. The base leaned a little heavy for my personal preference -- not bad, just dense. Some people like that. I prefer flow. Now... the headline. The Staff!! 6/5. I don't hand those out casually. Friendly. Fast. Honest. Elite banter. The kind of service that makes you want to become a regular immediately. Would I go back? For the bowl? Yes. For the staff? Immediately. Rating 3.8 / 5 Açaí Berries Breakdown Taste: 4/5 Ingredients: 4/5 Ratios: 3/5 Service: 6/5 Vibes: 5/5 Current Status: Medium over Large Lesson Learned: Size matters. Mix wisely. -- The Açaí Guy

You can't really beat the refreshing taste of fresh fruit and nutty granola and butter. Especially when you can take this delectable bowl to the beach and just vibe in the sand. Wave Bowl $16 (14.50+1.50): 5/5 The bowl itself looks fairly small like, but deceptively so since I was stuffed after eating the whole thing for breakfast. It is higher cost than I would usually spend but I don't eat açaí bowls to know the average. Personally I really liked that the toppings were at the bottom and the bases were on top, not just because it was a beautiful display but because sometimes when it is the opposite, it can quickly get messy with toppings falling and dropping. The granola was crunchy and the add-on nut butter ($1.50) was plentiful and contrasted well to the fruits. You get some finely diced strawberries and bananas that were just the right amount of ripe, the bananas a little more firm but definitely preferred with the bases. The pineapple spirulina was favorite as it had a good sweetness to it. Honestly wished I could get a bowl with just this as a base and of course the natural blue color is just so unique. Coconut was coconutty and the pitaya was brightly colored, not too much distinctive taste on this one. Peak San Diego Experience

    I'm a hater, I hate to admit it but I love un influencing these instagram/tik tok famous places. So…read moreoften they end up being a trend based on good marketing tactics which is amazing but good marketing doesn't mean good flavor and good service. In this case yes the bowl was OK was but was no better than the 3 other bowl places within a mile of this location. The wait was LONG as for many of the bowl places on this street but this one was extra long as in 45 minutes to an hour wait on off hours long. And of course with all these tik tok famous places the price was inflated. Based on taste alone I could have given this place 4 starts but the extra tik tok tax(inflated price just for being TikTok trendy) and extra wait time for the exact same thing you can get anywhere else rubbed me wrong so I'm going to have to leave this 3 star right here.
