This review is for visitors of patients dining in the Colors Cafe on Floor 1 (not for admitted…read morepatients). I had to be in Scripps Green for 3 weeks so I have experienced this cafeteria at all times of the day 7 days a week. As a smaller hospital I can understand the smaller cafeteria. However the options and availability of the food is pretty limited. While the food is fair with few hot dish items the salad bar is decent. The hot dishes consist of pizza, burgers, melts, soups, chicken tenders and then some featured main dish which always looks like it's over cooked sitting in liquid to keep it warm in the trays. Pretty much every day they have chicken teriyaki and rice for some reason. The best meals I have had from this cafeteria have by far been the breakfast. You can't really mess up bacon, eggs and pancakes I guess. Although go ahead and skip the french toast, as it is way over fried and crispy. They have pre made sandwiches and salads in the refrigerator cases. Bottles beverages, fountain drinks, coffee, ice cream, chips, cookies and more small sweets. They generally charge by weight for self serve buffett style hot dishes and salads. They really nickel and dime you on some things like charging for butter, ice and creamer. Other packaged items are scanned with a retail price. The staff is hit and miss. Some are nice and friendly while others are just slapping food around the griddle. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Outside is so nice with the views of Torrey Pines Golf Course and the ocean in the distance. Here's the main gripe. They barely have any options and they don't have keep the menu available for the entire time they are open. On weekdays they say they close at 8pm but stop cooking at 7pm. So nothing is replenished after 7pm. If you go down at 7:30pm you get what ever is left over. And that can be just a slice of pizza or a leftover burger wrapped in plastic. On this weekend they close at 6:30pm and they were dumping the food trays at 5pm!! A whole hour and a half before the posted closing time. All that is left was chicken tender and a picked thru salad bar. The only real option was packaged sandwiches from the fridge. Not fresh food. I find this very disappointing being at a hospital where you would think they would be promoting healthy options. Also twice they have locked us out on the patio dining area, without warning. They locked the doors from the inside while we were eating outside a half hour before closing time. They would have seen us out there eating but still locked it. We had to walk all the way around the hospital to get back inside. They simply could have opened the door and said we are closing this section up early or something. Completely ride and inconsiderate. The location of Scripps Green offers no other options in walking distance so you are basically stuck with the cafeteria as your only option. There is a Hilton if you trek down the street a ways. They really need to broaden the menu and keep it available for patrons ALL THE WAY TILL CLOSING TIME. People are already under stress when visiting here, is it too much to ask to have food available when you're "open".

After looking around, I decided on a hot breakfast at the grill, specifically a Breakfast Quesadilla (5/5). It had eggs, sausage patty and cheese wrapped in a tortilla. Cost? Hot items are priced at 60c per ounce. So, the 10+ ounce Quesadilla cost $6.41 plus tax. It was great! Service was very good. The overall ambiance was moderne and very comfortable.

This…read moreplace has a handy shortcut that helps you avoid traffic when it's time to head home (a big win, lol). They also close late, which is a big plus for students like me who need a longer stretch to study. I'm so happy I found this spot. The service is always good. The staff is fast and accommodating, even when it's busy. The coffee selection is great. If you want to try something fun, get the red velvet latte. If you want to play it safe, the cardamom latte never disappoints. And the desserts are dangerous, so don't look at them (you'll look anyway!). My favorite spot is the outdoor seating, which is perfect for getting work done with some fresh air. Tip: Avoid the corporate lunch rush. It gets packed around 12 to 1 pm, and the quieter window in the afternoon is around 4 to 6 pm.

The staff were so kind, attentive, and on top of everything, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for a relaxing coffee shop with cute vibes, great drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere, Karan Coffee House is definitely worth checking out!

A bit disappointing, especially since we came for dinner! We ended up ordering a couple of drinks and enjoying the beautiful view on such a gorgeous evening. Honestly, based on some of the reviews, it sounds like the food might not be the main draw here anyway, so we weren't too upset. We'd definitely come back for drinks and the view! I can see why this place was so packed. The scenery is beautiful, and the atmosphere is great for a date night. Another really cool feature is getting to see birds of prey, including eagles and falcons, with their trainers. Such a unique experience! Overall, it's worth visiting for the views and drinks, but I'd recommend checking whether the restaurant is open before making the trip!

First off, parking can be tricky but we were able to find street parking easily. As soon as we walked in, we felt peaceful. The ambiance was welcoming. They had a good outdoor patio with a view of the water body. I got the iced matcha pineapple latte. My colleagues got the regular cappuccino. Our drinks came out fairly quickly. The cappuccino had beautiful coffee art with a swan. My matcha tasted good. And more than anything it was colorful. The views from the patio were beautiful and we had a great time! If you are looking for good coffee, coupled with great views, this is the spot to explore!

It's sparkling clean. And, the coffee is incredible! You couldn't ask for a better place to start off your day at. The store is located right near the ocean, so you can smell the salinity in the air. The store itself is modern, sleek with lots of seating available. So, sit down and stay for a while or take one to go. They are passionate about what they do. So, get ready for a tasty treat. I got an iced decaf latte decaf and a drip coffee. My favorite was the iced decaf latte. From the first sip to the last drip. I savored every last sip of that delicious drink. It's creamy, dreamy, and delicious. With a bold perfect coffee flavor. Pure perfection! Also, I love taking home a cup of coffee for the next day. And, a pound of coffee to share. Trust me when I say that this coffee is incredible! You'll want that extra coffee. So, next time you see a Bird Rock. Stop by for a tasty treat! You won't regret it.

The Cargo Café is tucked in between buildings, so it's easy to miss. It's walking distance from…read moremany offices so a lot of nearby workers will come here for a quick coffee break, including me! It's outdoor but it's covered by the building. There's several tables that you can chill at. The menu is on the wall and they have a variety of coffee based drinks, teas, smoothies, and açaí bowls. They also have a food menu which is on a smaller paper underneath the large drink menu. It wasn't busy when I went on a Wednesday morning. There were a few customers that came and went. The workers are very nice. I ordered a hot 12 oz latte with 1 pump of vanilla. They made the drink pretty fast, like less than 2 minutes. It tasted just perfect. The coffee didn't taste burnt and it was nice and creamy. The 1 pump of vanilla wasn't overpowering. I'll definitely be back when I need a coffee break during work!

It's right next to the 5 north freeway on-ramp off Roselle Street in Sorrento Valley, in a small strip mall beside Lucky Bolt. When I thought about it a bit more, I realized it's at the center of a busy on-ramp, next to a trolley stop, and also along a popular cycling path. The coffee is really tasty here! I've tried the cold brew, americano, and mocha. The cold brew has a very balanced flavor profile, without any signs of being over-steeped. The americano is just as balanced and is carefully crafted. The mocha was really good! A standout forsure. Prepared with a tummy little chocolate drizzle on top. Seating is limited, though they do offer both indoor and outdoor (with an approximate capacity of about 20 total). The staff are friendly and lively. Overall it's a cute, well-curated, and vibey little spot in an interesting location. Definitely recommend trying this spot out whether you're a coffee lover or someone who passes through the general vicinity from time to time.

The coconut wasn't overpowering and I didn't expect it to be so refreshing. For the interior, they had a couple tables and bar seats.
