I walked in and ordered easily enough but didn't realize it would be an hour before I received my food. 30 minutes in I started walking around with my little buzzer in hand and started calling people on my phone. Finally as I went back to check, the buzzer went off and my food was ready! I forgot to grab a fork but was already out eating in the quad, hungry after working. I love the fact that they use sweet potato fries and for vegan fries, I don't think it was bad but what disappointed me were the beans. No flavor, just bean. And it got messy since i didn't have a fork but that's on me so I highly recommend you ask for one!

This is the new vegan/ vegetarian eatery on campus at UCSD. On opening day, there must have been at…read moreleast 30 people lined up, out the door, waiting to try this place. The food does not disappoint. I am a carnivore for life, but I can appreciate this place because of the simple, robust flavors. The meals are light, colorful and fresh. For $6-8 entrees, I'd say this place is worth visiting. Meals are made to order and the dining area is contemporary, comfortable and casual. Hydration station is also a perk - way to save mother earth and reduce plastic water bottle waste!

My friend and I check out a new Cafe every week and we decided to check out Honey Cafe. To me it…read morewas a one and done but it is cute if you want to check it out. We both got a peanut butter latte mine was cold and hers was hot. If you're looking for a sweet drink this is not the drink to get. I don't mind that so mine was fine. But my friend did not like hers so she asked for some sweetener in it and the only thing I had to make it sweeter was honey. I do find that odd they did not offer her sugar or anything. They have a store that connects to the cafe where you can purchase some candles or jewelry etc. We walked around there where we waited for our coffee. I'm assuming it's the same owner but I'm not sure. They do have food to order as well but we did not order any. Parking is street parking only but we found some a block away in the residential area. They get five stars From me because it just was not a place For me but they did nothing wrong So you need to go check them out for yourself to see if it's your Vibe.

i sadly had a really poor experience here today :( i was craving avocado toast and chose to come…read morehere out of convenience because i was in the area running errands. i didn't have high expectations but was severely disappointed in the service and the quality of the food. first off, when i went up to the order counter, i stood there for what felt like a whole 2 minutes before the girl behind the counter even acknowledged i was there. she was sipping a smoothie and scrolling on her phone directly across from the counter, probably 3 feet away but didn't look up to see me. when she finally realized i had been standing there (i felt awkward saying anything because i didn't want to be rude), she murmured under her breath what i think was "sorry" and was super mumbly, and not warm to me at all. i tried to shake it off as a fluke experience but just got weird vibes all around. i was hoping the food would make up for my weird experience at the counter but it unfortunately didn't. avocado toast is pretty hard to mess up but the bread was definitely stale and hard to chew around the edges but the middle part of the slice was also drastically undercooked for toast. it felt like i was eating an untoasted piece of bread with avocado on top. i had to take the toast to go, toasted my own slice of bread at home, and used the avocado/toppings on my own bread in order to not completely waste what i ordered. i've never had problems ordering avocado toast at other spots but this one super missed the mark somehow.

This 'Plus' branch of the Brick & Bell business, which was founded over 20 years ago, has been open…read morefor several months now in the middle of a block on Fay Ave in downtown La Jolla. They are closed on Sundays but otherwise operate between 7 am and 3 pm the other six days of the week. You can park curbside or try one of the parking structures nearby. Limited inside seating was available, however some tables were placed outside in the covered atrium adjacent to the suite. I haven't visited the other two Brick & Bell cafe locations so I can't compare how much less/more that this outpost offers. Breakfast, lunch, and desserts were listed on the left menu page posted on an outdoor stand while all of the drinks selections made up the right menu page. I had just eaten a meal elsewhere and wanted to pick up a pastry for dessert. Several baked goods were on display on enclosed stands or inside a case at the service counter. Of the nine listed desserts, the Cacao Honey Cake was my choice because I had not seen this variety before. It resembled a chocolate donut with the cacao frosting spread on a round honey cake with almond slivers sprinkled on top. The price was expensive at $7.25 for the serving size, but it satisfied the sugar craving I had at the time. The cake was not dry while the cacao was moderately sweet. The service from the cashier was pleasant as I did not have any issues that some other reviewers had experienced.

Brick and Bell Plus is the latest to open in this area of La Jolla…read more After a power walk with my pup Fendi, I decided to stop inside. Located on Fay St and not too distant walk from Coast Bl. This bakery cafe is a branch of other Brick and Bell bakeries, but the standout items are their Gluten Free baked goods, which are prepared and baked here and that's what I was interested in. The cafe occupies part of the ground level of a corporate building and has outdoor and indoor seating. The outdoor seating faces the interior of the building courtyard, which was lack luster but better than dining inside. Only one person inside, who appeared to be a friend of the staffer behind the counter. The indoor setting and vibe was not appealing, perhaps it's the lighting and just lack of decor, the setup and vibe looked like a gas station minimart :( The menu includes basics: coffee drinks, juices, hot and cold breakfast and lunch and the baked goods. Also available are already made, sandwiches, salads, fruits and drinks made ready to take togo. The one staffer behind the counter was helpful, informative but service was rushed and lacked cordiality. Despite me telling her it's my first time visit and I needed to browse and see, she made me feel rushed... why would anyone want to dine and stay with that attitude? The display case had slim pickings of bakery goods. One would have to take a close up look to see these smallish treats, the display arrangement didn't particularly look alluring. The last one for the best was the small coconut cake. Shaped like a mini Bundt cake, with coconut frosting and toasted coconut flakes freshly baked and it was Gluten Free, I had to have it! The frosting was not too sugary sweet but the cake texture was too dense and not as fluffy as I prefer but nonetheless a treat post power walk and sightseeing along Coast Bl in La Jolla.

This is a yoga studio and vegan restaurant on roof top. So far I have taken these classes: aerial level 1, aerial level 1.5, Lyra hoop, yin, restorative, handstands, qi gong, and some of the yin classes come with mini sound healing session. I love all the classes. The parking is not bad on weekdays, and most parking is 2 hours, or Sunday is free. There is a skydeck aerial open to above, a dome on roof, moon room for infrared and yin/restorative type of classes, and earth room for higher level aerial and hoop classes. The ambiance is wonderful! Shoutout to all the wonderful teachers there especially Gabrielle, John, Carly, hannasita, Amy Thai! Great instruction and this studio has so much soul and focus on love and meditation.

For a large you'd definitely get full. The dressing consistency wasn't totally free-flowing liquid, it was a bit gelatinous but maybe bc of the ingredients! Still tasted good. I found myself wishing the salad was tossed more thoroughly so ingredients were more evenly distributed. Wish there was an additional ingredient in this salad that would make it pop, because the strawberries inside were still as mellow as the other things inside. I love salad but this just didn't blow me away. The service is quick and kind! One con is that there's a lot of flies when we sat outside, and also right next to the entrance inside... Free street parking (2 hours) is available though you gotta spend some time finding it. No bathroom.
