    Very small quantity of acai bowl for $7.99. Served with banana, blueberry, strawberry, granola and coconut shavings. This is not the best I have had. Quick service though.

    White gummy with an oatmeal (honey, brown sugar, and banana added)

    I am a Jamba Juice freak. I go way too often, and I used to be #1 at the East H Street destination, but since I'm at UCSD more often, I get my fix at this location. Typically, I go for my secret menu favorite: white gummy. I have even composed a list of my favorite drinks and their contents just in case I feel like I want something different: GREAT GREENS: Apples, cucumber, super greens, lemons, chia seeds TROPICAL GREENS: Apples, pineapples, super greens, chia seeds MATCHA GREEN TEA BLAST: Soymilk, nonfat frozen yogurt, matcha green tea ISLAND STRAWBERRY: Coconut water, lemonade, strawberries, sherbet (lime) TROPICAL MANGO: Coconut water, passionfruit mango juice blend, mangos, sherbet (pineapple), sherbet (orange) MANGO A GO GO: Mangos, passion fruit mango juice, sherbet (pineapple) MEGA MANGO: Strawberries, mangos, orange juice, pineapple juice PEACH MANGO: Mangos, peaches, peach juice blend, soymilk As you can tell, there is a trend of greens and mangos. I've had their oatmeal and added honey, brown sugar, and bananas. I don't eat oatmeal very often, but I would start eating it more if I got it at Jamba. The negatives about this specific Jamba still don't diminish the fact that it's a good location. Such as... The line is absurd. It takes at LEAST 10 minutes to get my drink. Also, sometimes my drinks aren't filled to the top of the cup. It's rather disappointing when that happens. Lastly, my first time having a strawberry chunky energy bowl was at this specific Jamba. There wasn't enough banana, and I know the word "chunky" is explicitly in the name of it, but I didn't think it'd be literal to the point where there were hard-frozen, full strawberries. I guess it depends on who makes it or when they make it because the second time I got it (I was hesitant), it was perfect! Aside from these things, it's a pleasure stopping at this Jamba. The smoothies are always blended to perfection, and the people are *mostly* nice.

    Clean location with prompt and friendly service. Josh P was especially helpful, and made great recommendations to us when we were unsure what to get.

    Why would you leave so much space

I had the greens to go smoothie which I found a little chalky and you could still taste the protein powder a bit too much for my taste. I had the almond butter toast to use up a gift card, which was fine but I'm not sure I would personally pay $5.87 for it. I found this place a little bit inconvenient to go to since the hours on Google and Yelp are incorrect and they didn't have any hours posted on their door, but they open at 10am on Tuesdays and not 7am. I also found it odd that they bill themselves as "on the go" food, but you cannot order ahead for pick up. If you order ahead you still have to go to the register to pay, which makes it a less convenient option than other campus options that do allow pick-up. There is no seating inside, but there are close tables and chairs that are outside. Note: This is on the UCSD campus, so it's not very convenient to go to unless you are already on the campus as you have to pay for parking.

    BLUE BOWL @ UCSD LA JOLLA…read more Parking is available, but I believe you have to pay if you park in the garage. I decided to just park along Gilman Drive, which is free, and walked about 20 minutes. Honestly, it wasn't bad at all -- it was a sunny day and there's plenty of street parking if you're willing to walk a bit. I've always loved Blue Bowl Superfoods in Oceanside. It's SO good and easily one of my favorite açaí spots, I could literally eat it every single day. I love all the customizations they offer, the variety of bases, and just how many ingredients they have. This time, I decided to visit their UCSD location, which is right in the middle of University of California San Diego's campus. They open around 10 AM on Saturdays (and typically around 8 AM on weekdays), and even right at opening there were already a lot of people waiting. My friend and I were still able to get in and out pretty quickly around 10. I ended up getting their mango passion base along with açaí. For toppings, I loaded it up strawberries, bananas, apples, blackberries, blueberries they truly have so many options. I also love their variety of nuts, seeds, and different types of nut butters. They really don't skimp on choices. Overall, I would highly recommend stopping by. I was SO full after, and honestly, you could even split a bowl with a friend because they pack it generously. It's about $12 for a normal medium-sized bowl, which I think is worth it for the portion and quality. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which I really appreciated. The ambiance is nice it's more of a grab-your-bowl and then sit outside type of vibe, but there is indoor seating as well. Definitely one of my favorite açaí spots, and this location did not disappoint.

I love…read morethat it's a set price for unlimited toppings and their açaí base and blue chia combo can't be beat by any other açaí spot I've tried. I drive to the USCD campus just to get blue bowl and I'm praying they open up another location in central or south San Diego! Service is always quick and consistent. At this location, parking can be tough depending on what time you arrive. Weekends are pretty easy to snag visitor parking. On weekdays, beware lines can get longer towards lunch rush hour.

You can hear the waves from the ocean over the sound of the espresso machine as though you were feet from the beach. Nestled between a Scripps/UCSD Oceanography campus, it's a small/quaint private getaway. Since the word is getting out it's been quite busy and it totally killed my zen to see people doing zoom conferences and speaking loudly at their screens throughout. Really? Oh well, to each their own. The lavender latte was delicious and hit the spot. The sourdough they used for the toast was heavenly...filled with air holes and homemade sourdough flavor. Loved the heart shaped toast. They take care with their presentation. Only drawback is lack of parking. Unless there is some secret spot I haven't discovered yet, be prepared for a bit of a hike. I've been here on the weekend as well and the lines can get long.

You are expected to find your own seats and you order your food either on the app or in-person. The ambiance is nice and the view can be pretty nice as well. The area is clean and there is a lot of seating both outside and inside. Compared to the other dining halls, a lot would say OVT is on the higher end.
