    Tiramasu latte Hot White Mocha Banana Bread
    Catrina H.

    Incredible hidden gem. Nestled in a cute corner shopping center. The owner is so sweet Tiramasu latte is honestly the BEST latte I've had in my entire life.

    Cool and urban, clean and minimalistic coffee shop in the RSF plaza. its definitely off the bitten path, probably known only by locals because of its location. The coffee shop is located at Cielo Village plaza. The whole plaza is perched on the hill overlooking Del Dios road and Santa Fe valley preserve. Invita offers light breakfast options like chia pudding, baked goods and a few breakfast sandwiches. I believe they also serve lunch to go options. Staff was nice and polite, prices are average for the neighborhood. Large latte is $5.50 similar pricing to Starbucks but with better quality coffee :) If you are in the area, stop by and check this place out.

    Excellent coffee and great ambiance. One of the best authentic Italian coffee shops in San Diego. Quality of service is top notch. I wish they closed a bit later than 2pm on Saturdays.

    Mediocre coffee at premium prices. Don't even bother with their food unless you're desperate. Service and ambiance were fine.

Not sure what happened late yesterday with the sandwiches. They were soaking wet on the bottom of each one. Even the one without lettuce and tomato. I believe they add dressing to their sandwiches but it's never been an issue. Each sandwich also didn't have the requested extra mayo (maybe they put extra dressing instead?). I called today to ask if there were any issues with other sandwiches and the manager said no. He said i should have ordered the sandwiches with dressing on the side next time and he couldn't offer to remake them for a future visit (we live 30 min away so it's a far drive). So there's two 12inch uneaten sandwiches oh well. We've ordered many times from them and the staff has always been amazing. Maybe it was placing the order late in day on Easter Sunday but bummer the manager today was dismissive and put blame on us.

Popular choices include the turkado, california delight, chicken club and tub-o-tuna. Let's not forget about that secret sauce- lightning in a bottle! This scratch-made sauce is chef's kiss! Service is on point! Staff are super friendly and polite. Plenty of seating areas on the outdoor patio with shade coverings. Peak hours are between 12-2pm. This place gets busy real quick! Phone orders are much more expedient! Street parking is accessible and the open air vibe makes for a perfect spot to enjoy a delicious sando near the water!

    Board & Brew is a classic deli shop with a great location in Del Mar…read more Pros: this Del Mar, location of board & brew is a great place for a quick bite next to the beach. It has its own seating inside and outside and the outside seating has umbrellas just in case it gets a little too sunny. There is an abundance of parking on the street that's usually free up to two hours. I went on a Sunday where it wasn't really that busy so finding parking close by was pretty easy. I like this area because it's in between a lot of other small businesses and it's not right on the street. It's kind of tucked away a little bit. It has its own bathroom as well. We even saw a parrot whilst eating haha. I ordered the Italian grinder and my girlfriend ordered the turkey club. Both sandwiches were very tasty and make sure to get sauce with it because the sauce here is really good! Cons: due to the location, if it's busy parking will probably be slim. This is most likely due to it being close to the Del Mar fairgrounds. Verdict: If you want a quick bite to eat there or to go, this is the perfect place for you! Bored and brew is a staple in California and anybody who hasn't tried it should go now!

Heard good things about the gluten free quiche, but wanted to try the Pesto chicken sandwich which I definitely recommend the Parmesan that they bake into the bread.

The best thing I tried was this amazing brownie cookie with peppermint pieces on top. AH-mazing!!! Would definitely return and will try and take photos next time,

    Definitely some good sandwiches with perhaps a too high of a price tag for what you get…read more This place is located in the middle of Escondido as a little family owned restaurant. They serve a fair variety of sandwiches and other little items to buy such as coffee and cookies. The location is small with about a total of 5 seating areas including both inside, and out. For service they're all very friendly since it's primarily the family owners who serve you. You go up to the front and place your order and they'll bring the food you order to your table, they do close early since this is a breakfast spot first and foremost, so expect to arrive early if you want to eat here. I usually order The Works in a half since a full size sandwich is well over $20, excluding any additions or substitutions you may make. The sandwich does taste really good, but it does come at a steep price. They've grown in popularity over the years, which may have influenced their pricing (by a lot) which in my opinion does outweigh it's value. While I do enjoy my infrequent visits, I can say this location is more of an occasional treat, as opposed to a constant meal to be had often.
