CHICKEN BOWL
Savanna V.

Delicious bowls! Today I got the chicken bowl and got some of the homemade avocado sauce on the side to top the chicken with. The bowl was packed with veggies and the chicken was moist, so I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. A solid, healthy choice of those at the Windmill!

CHOCO FUEL smoothie

I got the CHOCO FUEL smoothie and it was so good! There was protein powder in it, but it was not chalky like other smoothies with protein powder. It takes like a chocolate peanut butter milkshake, but it's healthy! I also got the Salmon Teriyaki bowl. The salmon was a great size and the teriyaki sauce was a great touch. Hayden, the cashier was super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Management was very nice too. I love the Foodhall in general because it is lively and a great place to come with friends in Carlsbad. Will definitely be coming back!

Seeking a cold, unsweetened beverage (e.g., an iced tea) to quench my thirst, I came across La Vida; while they don't offer simple iced teas, I ordered their Very Greens smoothie ($10), which had a great consistency (unlike any I've experienced) - perfect "slushiness" (no crunchy ice chunks) and loved that -- especially consisting of kale, spinach, avocado, pineapple, cucumber -- that it's flavor was not altered by sweeteners (I didn't even detect the pineapple). Customer service by Ali was appreciatively very friendly and patient. I leisurely enjoyed my beverage in the food hall's outdoor patio. My smoothie was perfectly satisfying!

Avo Toast

Located in a food hall just off the 5 freeway at Palomar Airport Road.. go East a block or two and you will see it on your left. Fresh food, good service and plenty of seating. Avocado toast was really good. Will definitely try this place again.

Menu

Excellent healthy and flavorful option! We got the Chicken Caesar Kale Wrap and the Coastal Salmon Wrap. The chicken was a little light portion wise but nicely balanced with the croutons and kale. The salmon wrap was generous with protein and I loved the textural combo with edamame. The strawberry matcha drink was phenomenal, with house made strawberry puree, and option of oat or almond milk. Everything excellent. Will absolutely come back!

Tuna Bowl after 1 bite
Garry B.

The tuna bowl was absolutely amazing. At first I was a little skeptical and it was $20 but the portion is nice, so fresh and so tasty. The rice at the bottom with the yuzu ponzu OMG. I took one and then took the picture. Highly recommend. The cashier was very nice and my food was ready pretty quickly. I did to go for this order. I will be back. All I can say is healthy yum

I ordered 2 salmon wraps with avo and feta. We got wraps with a lot of rice, a little bit of salmon, broccoli and carrots.

I ordered tuna bowl for lunch. It was underwhelming and overpriced. There are better and less expansive options in the area

been coming here for a few years never disappoints!…read more Ginger, turmeric immunity shots. Great prices and great staff! Eight out of five stars!

Ok there's quite a few problems I have with this place so here's a long list of my dislikes…read more -Extremely expensive with small portion sizes, not worth the price whatsoever. -They claim the juices are fresh but sit in their fridges for days. I scratched off an expiration date and found another label underneath! They just slapped a new one on to make it look fresh. -The soups are left out for at least a week and are heated at the beginning of the shifts. The heaters for the soups are turned off when the closer leaves. I was there at the opening time a few months ago and I guess one of the employees forgot to turn the heater on and I was served a cold soup. The soups are rotting and changing temperatures and they continue to serve it!!!!!! -The açaí used is not actually raw açaí berries but packets of frozen açaí which is extremely concerning for an "acai bowl and smoothie place". -As I was waiting by the counter for my bowl I heard the employees discussing a RAT ISSUE that they said had been persistent for multiple weeks!!! One of the employees told his coworker that A RAT HAD CRAWLED INTO THE REFRIGERATOR!! I'm not ashamed that I was eavesdropping on their conversation because this is ridiculous! Once the other worker noticed me listening they instantly stopped talking and started whispering to each other, then tried to pretend like had nothing happened. -Lastly, a majority of the employees are incredibly rude. When you ask for simple modifications some of them groan or complain. They expect tips for little to no effort and stare like you did something wrong even though they have a job to do. After one employee was rude to me when I asked to swap almond milk with water on my açaí bowl, I asked for her name. But after asking, she gave me a DIFFERENT EMPLOYEE'S name in order to cover herself!! (I printed a receipt and saw her real name). But, some of the employees were very nice and asked me how my day was going every time I ordered or continued conversation with me. Overall, this establishment has reached its last straw for me. I'm tired of dealing with the nonsense this place offers and am excited for it to be replaced with apartment homes in the near future. Hopefully this will bring in tourists to Carlsbad rather than waste the pretty lawn it sits on.
