The ladies at check out are very nice here but I had an issue where the manager I believe, because…read moreshe was ordering another young lady around, was hostile. I was under the impression that on Saturdays they close at 5pm so I arrived at 355 and the manager at the door said "we close at 4" it wasn't 4pm yet so I figured I'd rush to get some stuff bc I get it, it's a Saturday and they wanted to close but it was so unprofessional bc I asked the young lady at the door when I was unloading my kid, if I could be helped still, before I walked in! she asked her boss and she gave me the okay so I quickly went in, rushed to get everything and left. My mother in law was with me and as we walked out she told me that she heard the manager was basically scolding the young worker about letting us in so late and to make sure she let no one else in. Which explains why the young lady was so quiet and rushing under the pressure. The manager was unprofessional. In another instance a while ago too, a gentleman didn't let me purchase anything because he said registers closed at 630 but their hours clearly state they close at 7pm so what is up with that? Very inconvenient.

I found their bottle stand at the Escondido Farmers market…read more What caught my eye was the large ice chest full of bottles of colorful Kombucha. When I looked over their offerings I was shocked to see "Feijoa", also known as Pineapple Guava. An acquired taste, this fruit was a true find if you ever grew up with a Feijoa tree close by. You just don't find this fruit in your local stores. The Kombucha was very good, not too much bite to it. it comes in a glass jar. Finding Edible Alchemy at the farmers market was a score and I look forward to buying their product again.

I stumbled upon Edible Alchemy this weekend at the Sourdough Festival in Highland Springs Ranch…read more I'm not new to fermentation; I actually make my own kimchi, sauerkraut, and kombucha. I must say, Edible Alchemy's sauerkrauts are the best I've ever had. When I got home to eat them with my dinner, the krauts were "alive." I was so happy to see them oozing - a sign of life! Thank you, Edible Alchemy.

BEST selection in Gaslamp for any food need. Quick premade good portion-sized meals (grab and go), fresh fruit and veggies, dairy, canned goods, sauces, chips, crackers, candy, deli, cookies, etc., they got it. Think like a Whole Foods-type bodega market. Fresh pizza kitchen in front (pizza looked really good too!), alcohol, and cigar sections as well. They have healthy, well-known brands too! Best selection in town, truly. The worker was also very nice and helpful. Clean inside.

I absolutely love the food, and most of the employees are fantastic. There is one person however…read morethat keeps denying my payment with EBT. I have MANY TIMES ordered deli sandwiches (not toasted) and paid with my SNAP benefits without a problem. But this one particular young woman continues to refuse my payment, and tells me that the sandwiches made in the deli are not covered by EBT. Her excuse was that the bread is baked! I can go to another location and cold deli sandwiches are covered, or if someone else is working the checkout, it is covered. She has wasted a few sandwiches by rejecting my payment, and it is not a problem with the card it is specifically her. I just wonder what the owners would say if they knew that this woman is making her own rules. Does anyone else have this problem?

Yes, do ask for a receipt. I had an experience getting shortchanged here . You live and you learn.read more

I was having some physical problems and feel like it helped heal me in a very real and gentle way. I also really liked the herbal rescue balm for my stretch marks. It felt very soothing and I haven't had as many which is amazing since it's herbal and not made of chemicals. I feel grateful to find a herbal spot run by a local Mexican Woman where things are actually done by her, I've seen her make some products and she's very thorough and sanitary. Along with the fact that all her herbs are organic. I recommend coming in if you're looking for a special quality herbal shop.

We were legitimately excited to check this place out and support a local small business, but…read moreunfortunately had a terrible experience from start to finish. In the end, we paid $60 for merchandise we ended up leaving behind due to the terrible interaction we had with the proprietor. When we first walked in, she was nowhere to be seen. We spent the first five minutes wandering around alone, looking at the products, until she appeared from the back. My friend asked her about her teas and was immediately met with an awkward and abrupt "I'm not a doctor and can't give medical advice." We weren't asking for advice on health conditions; we were asking for some information on the teas she was selling. After a few more awkward exchanges we bought two and left. Five minutes later, two blocks down the street in another store, the proprietor shows up - had tracked us down - to inform us that our two 12-year-old boys had sprayed a couple of the room sprays that hadn't been clearly marked as "testers" even though they were sitting in a row of about 8 other "tester" bottles. She demanded "accountability" and escorted us back to her store, forcing us to buy two of the room sprays that she said had been used. The kids had made an honest mistake, maybe sprayed one spritz by accident from a bottle that didn't have the tester sticker, and now she was delivering a lecture and coercing us into buying two $15 room sprays she said had been touched! So, wanting this whole uncomfortable affair to end, we had the kids apologize and bought the sprays. Half a block down the street, we decided we didn't want to carry any of her bad juju with us, took the bag of products back and left them on the counter. $60 worth of products, down the tube. It was my friend's birthday and this woman had ruined our afternoon. No one should expect to run a thriving small business when you provide obtuse and awkward responses to legitimate product questions and then proceed to hunt paying customers down on the street and demand payment for merchandise that was handled lightly by two CHILDREN. Bad energy, bad customer service. We paid $60 for nothing. We'll never go here again and will tell others not to bother either.

Hey guys, The Big Gorger here. Been away for a while and finally came back to gorging. Wanted to…read morestop by Boneys after a lovely day at the beach. Went to the deli section to place our order and can I ask a question. Does it really take 30 minutes to make a sandwich? It seemed like the workers were working at snail speed. Everyone had a stank look on their face and looked very unhappy. Not saying you have to be bright at the job but it felt very off putting. After standing in line like we were at in an amusement park, finally got our sandwiches sat down and enjoyed them very much. The Island Baja has the perfect amount of ingredients in the sandwich, tasted so fresh and so delicious. The tomato, cucumber, sprouts, baja mayo sauce, avacado and chicken was such a good combo and it wasn't to filling which is perfect. Mrs. Gorger got the tuna sandwich and I personally don't like tuna but that HIT the spot. It was very tasty. Overall, food was amazing and would definitely go back there again. Just be prepared to wait awhile unless you call it in. Best, TBG (The Big Gorger)

If you're looking for the best supplement store in Chula Vista, this is it, no question…read more I've tried multiple supplement shops around Chula Vista and San Diego, and most of them feel the same overpriced products, basic advice, and employees just trying to make a sale. South Bay Supps is completely different. This is the only supplement store near me where I actually trust the recommendations. Whether you're looking for protein powder, pre-workout, fat burners, recovery supplements, or even guidance on performance and cycle support, he takes the time to explain what actually works and what doesn't. For anyone new to fitness, this is hands down one of the best places to start. He'll walk you through exactly what supplements you need and help you avoid wasting money on things you don't. For experienced lifters or bodybuilders, this is where it separates itself from every other fitness supplement store in San Diego. The level of knowledge goes beyond basic products, he understands performance, recovery, and how to actually optimize your results. I've gone in thinking I needed a full stack, and instead of upselling me, he told me what to cut out and why. That level of honesty is rare in this industry. Every time I leave, I feel more dialed in and confident in what I'm taking. On top of that, the customer service is always top tier friendly, welcoming, and no pressure at all. He also supports the military, which I respect a lot. I recommend South Bay Supps to anyone in Chula Vista, San Diego, or anyone searching for a reliable supplement store nearby. If you're serious about your fitness goals and want real guidance, this is the place to go.
