I don't know how this works as far as the stationary address on here, but as I write this review,…read morethey are now located at the Irvine Spectrum in Irvine, CA. This is such a popular franchise and the long lines that can typically happen at this pop-up especially on the weekends is enormous so either be prepared to wait in the line for hours, or get here earlier than first-thing in the morning. They offer merch in the mobile truck (there are some limited items and "while supplies last" stuff, a build workshop where you can take home your own build for free, various giveaways and several photo opportunities. They fit in quite a bit in the small-ish space they have. When they run out of stuff, they run out of stuff. Every worker we encountered was friendly and helpful. We had a good experience.

The exhibition runs from February 15 to March 16, 2025, daily from 10 AM to 7 PM. I saw a pair of Gundam & Crocs collaboration shoes. To be honest, I've always thought these hole-ridden, round-toed shoes look silly and ugly. Bandai Namco在爾灣光譜摩天輪旁舉辦模型展,鋼彈迷絕不可錯過!沒想到這玩意在北美也這麼風靡。 展覽時間2025年2月15至3月16日,每日上午10點到晚上7點。 看到一雙鋼彈和Crocs聯名販售鞋。恕我直言,我從來覺得這種圓頭洞洞鞋是一種看起來又呆又醜的東西...

Been frequenting this area for a long while or a big chunk of/span of my lifetime. As a local…read morenative San Diegan I like to introduce spots to people who travel into the surrounding area. Point Loma is one of those places since it has a certain charm to it. Don'tcha think!? *It's very historical and strongly tied to those who serve or have served our country. Hence the anchor logo and other nautical features you'll spot in the area. Especially since the NAVY is right there in town. *The market hosts many different food and small business vendors all in one hall. Truly a hidden gem and so glad they opened up the space to share with those business owners. *You can visit larger restaurants establishments in the very near vicinity as well. It's touristy and locals favorite hot spot vibe is all rolled into one fused place here. *Very Family and fur baby friendly! *Very close to some nice hotels as well! Hope you enjoy as much as I do! Cheers!

I hadn't been back here since before COVID. I'm so glad we decided to pop by for lunch. Food halls…read moreare perfect for parties that don't all want to eat the same thing. My friend and I tried three places here, and most of them were great. The wonton noodles from Slurp actually had a heaping big portion that we were struggling to finish. The platter we ordered from Asado Gaucho, while tasty, were too overcooked for our taste. The empanadas from Panana were to. die. for. If I come back, I am 100% grabbing some to go. We had asked the employee for recommendations and they were all spot on. If you have to try anything in this hall - highly recommend their empanadas!! I regret not buying more to take back home LOL.

Oh truly a top competitor for best bakery in San Diego!! I…read morevisited on a Thursday morning right at 8 to grab breakfast for my coworkers. there was already a line forming!!! So get there early. Service is great, they don't rush you at all. All of the pastries are laid out for whatever you want them to grab. I got regular croissants, chocolate croissants, and their seasonal raspberry croissant. I personally only had the raspberry one but my coworkers LOVED the others! I also got an iced vanilla latte and it was DELICIOUS - very bold and strong! I would definitely visit again.

I've had Relic Bakery on my radar for a while, and signed up to be notified when they do their…read more"drops". When I saw one that worked with my schedule, I clicked in to see what they had to offer. Prices are quite high, $7-9 per pastry on average, and they had a good mix of sweet and savory, classic and unique flavors. I ordered three pastries: charcuterie danish, Kenyan chicken stew croissant, and lamb rillette spiral croissant. There was a fast turnaround for pickup, as I could only select dates from the next day. Their kitchen is located in a more commercial part of Mira Mesa, and parking was easy. When I walked in, I was a bit confused by the setup, as I stepped straight into a room full of baking supplies. I located the cabinet with pickups and grabbed my goodies. Very quick in and out. Overall, the pastry dough itself was fantastic across all three pastries. I air fried my pastries to warm them up before sampling them. My least favorite was the charcuterie pastry. The cured meat on top was very tough, possibly from being over-baked. I didn't really like how it paired with the apricot on top. Additionally, the top layer of the pastry was adhered to the toppings, and came off when I tried to cut or bite into it. The cheese rosette on top was cute but didn't add much to the flavor for me. The Kenyan chicken stew and lamb croissants were absolutely stunning. Both were not soggy and suuuuper flavorful. The ground lamb was tender and buttery, Since it is rolled throughout the croissant, you get some in each bite, the distribution is perfect. The Kenyan chicken stew is bold and spiced. There is a good amount of stew in the croissant cup, and the chicken was not tough. Paired with the buttery pastry, this was incredible. Overall, I enjoyed the pastries I ordered at Relic! They are incredibly pricy, and definitely an occasional treat, but worth it in my opinion.

The cool about this place is it displays many different vendors in one spot. Which I did not realize before I went here. Each vendors have their own booth/area and they decorate their own vibe and style based on what they're selling. I saw many different items that you can find here in one place. Especially for collector item as well. They had items for people who love baseball, Christmas, Goth, French style, bohemian, 90s. Etc. it's honestly never ending. I was able to find a few different items for my house and for my own collection. I thought the price were fair. And they also offer changing rooms if you wanted to try on some of their clothes. There were some displays that needed keys to get in, which was very easy to get someone to help you to open those cases. The lady in the front who checked me out was very friendly. This place was genuinely a great surprise, and I will definitely be back some other time.

When I asked if you accepted credit cards, I was told the card would have to be verified by contacting the credit card company. I asked if this was done for everyone, and I was told yes. However, after reading other reviews and the owner's responses, it seems different customers are given different explanations of the verification process, which makes the policy seem inconsistent. Honestly, I only bought a $5 pair of earrings with cash, but I had planned on coming back to shop for more. Instead, I left wondering: at what purchase amount does this verification happen? Is it for every credit card transaction, or only certain customers? I wasn't expecting a simple question about payment methods to turn into a discussion about verifying my identity. The whole interaction left me feeling unwelcome, and I hope whatever policy is in place is applied consistently to every customer.

Very cute inside, with some Strawberry Shortcake theme decor. Unfortunately first impression with the service was not very good. The person seemed very unenthusiastic, didn't smile, or seem welcoming. It's possible we just went on and off day. Since we were there I did get some of the mini cupcakes to try. One was a Snickers chocolate cupcake and the other was a Strawberry Shortcake cupcake. They both tasted good, but nothing really spectacular that I would have to go back for. The Snickers one tasted basically like a regular chocolate cupcake with a miniature sneaker placed on top. The Strawberry Shortcake one had some type of strawberry crumble on top which was good. I would say that was my favorite of the two. If you come on Tuesday they are $2 for the cupcakes, so something to keep in mind. They have a variety of other desserts and even drinks as well. They have caramel apples, Sundays, different cakes, Etc. If you're already in the mall it might be worth the quick peek to see if anything appeals to you. If anything just for a few cute photo ops.
