Super cool spot!
Denisse R.

I was looking for a place to grab a smoothie bowl/something light to eat for lunch when I came across this super cool hidden gym in the UTC business park area. The tranquility and isolation of this place is just what one needs when we work in a business park/office area. The people that work here are very friendly. They offer many coffee/tea options, acai bowls, smoothies, to go sandwiches/snacks and juices. I will be frequenting them a lot now that I know they are just about a 10 min walk from my work.

Cargo Café is a literal oasis in La Jolla. The secluded location is almost like a private getaway from the hustle and bustle of the seemingly never-ending construction. Perched on the edge of a fountain, this little café serves up great espresso drinks and has other offerings for a quick bite! I had an almond milk latte, which was pretty good. But, I look forward to sitting in the sun and studying in the area, which has plenty of open-air seating for the COVID conscious. It's a perfectly serene location, albeit somewhat difficult to find, but overall a hidden gem in the UTC area!

This coffee shop is a total hidden gem. Coffee is decent they have some healthy food and snack options. What makes it special is the view!! It's like an oasis in the middle of all the business and office buildings. Came here to work for a few hours and WiFi is great too. Staff is casually friendly. There's extra seating across the water as well.

Acai muchos and one with extra blueberries instead of granola

I've tried this Shake Smart twice. Once because of an event and another time because I received a…read moregift card. 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.

So grateful this was open on July 3! Literally everything was closed. I was also pleased at how…read moretasty the smoothies were. I would pass on the toasts which felt like they came out of the can. The student running the counter was friendly and happy to strike up conversation. I can imagine this being pricey for college students. I found it refreshing given how expensive things are getting. I would come back again especially to enjoy the sea breeze on the rocking chairs!

Cute stop in La Jolla to get juice, coffee, or healthy breakfast/lunch items. For my first round, I…read moreordered beet juice and a medium hot Mexican decaf coffee. It was a nice ambiance to sit and enjoy your juice and coffee. We ordered quite a bit of items as we were waiting for another member of our party to meet us here. The bathroom is beautifully and nicely decorated but they are super strict about using the bathroom even if you are a customer as they had a bathroom (there is a key you have to ask for) "wanted bandit sign"apparently for vandalizing it....which I understand however When another member of our party came, we went inside and the line was so long we decided to use the bathroom before ordering more, we were in there less than 5 minutes and the owner/manager knocked and knocked, I came out and apologized and asked if she knocked. She did apologize but said other people are waiting. I ordered another juice and was going to order sandwiches and acai bowls but felt like we probably were at cafe more than an hour and out stayed our stay. I understand as a business you have to be strict about the bathroom and that is their policy however if it is a juice/coffee place your customers are bound to use the restroom several times especially if they are continuing to order. Unfortunately, It did turn me away to try the food which I actually was looking forward to as they did offer organic croissant sandwiches. We decided to just choose another place to order food. I'll have to think about returning as we are always in La Jolla for yoga.
