I stopped by Maya's Cookies on my birthday to try their vegan cookies. The shop is really cute and in a nice area. They had several flavors, and I tried the famous everythig cookie -- it was sweet but not overly so - good and moist which is very important. I was disappointed they didn't offer any non-dairy milk, which would have really completed the experience. Also, $5 per cookie feels a bit pricey. I'm glad I tried this adorable shop. They do have HH where cookies are $2 but it skipped my mind which day. Their flavors also rotate monthly. CC accepted.

Pretty good cookies! My oatmeal cookie had a great taste but it crumbled really fast. I tried the other ones my friends had and they all had great taste, too. Chocolate chip was the best one.

SO GOOD. i found this cookie place last minute from a maps search of local cookies, and am so happy i did. the cookies were incredible. i honestly didn't know they were vegan when i first chose this place and still didn't know when i left! the cookies tasted heavenly, texture was perfect, and truly you would never guess they are vegan/gf/etc. s'mores is to die for and the marble one out of this world. the store was clean, not busy and service was friendly + quick. they also have an option to warm the cookies for you, takes an extra 2 minutes! 10/10 will definitely come again. best surprise find! hands down better than crumbl every time. (the one negative is the parking. so difficult to get parking unless you park across the way in the lot)

Obama : chocolate chip, white chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip, walnut

Grabbed a cookie at the north Hollywood Vegan Street Fair. We got the $6 Michelle Obama cookie which is chocolate chip, white chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip, and walnut. Tasty and big! Has a good crunch with the nuts and chips.

My box of cookies! Yum!! Maya's is the best!!

The best cookies! Maya's Cookies are my all time favorite! I have been supporting her since she was at all of the Farmer's Markets in Orange County, around 2007. Back then, the cookies were $2. Now they're $4.50 each. Half a dozen is $26 and a dozen is $50. Maya's Cookies are big, slightly crunchy on the outside, with a nice chew, and soft on the inside... and they just happen to be VEGAN too. They have the ABSOLUTE PERFECT TEXTURE! I always buy at least half a dozen each time I go. You can't really go wrong with any of her cookies. Maya now has 2 locations in the San Diego area, and an online shop where you can get a monthly subscription to her Cookie Love Club. Maya's Cookies needs to open a location in Orange County! I would be going there a few times a week lol! My favorite cookies are the Marble Fudge, Birthday, Walnut Chocolate Chunk, Brown Sugar Butterscotch, and Drunken Grandma (oatmeal raisin). I love all their cookies except for the chocolate chip cookie and snickerdoodle. I wished I lived closer to their shops so I could go to Happy Hour on Tues/Wed from 4-5pm when their chocolate chip cookies are only $2. Wish Happy Hour included their regular cookies. Happy eating!

I stopped by the other day, and tried the sweet cream cold brew and her BHM feature "good times"! Omg!! I had the cold brew one before and fell in love, but the good times cookie! WOWWW!!! I've been "trying" to cut back on sugar.... But I can hold off a little while longer just to be able to enjoy these goodies for another month! Lol! But seriously you GOTTA try them.

Food (5/5 stars): I'm a HUGE fan of Maya's Cookies. They make some of the best cookies I've ever had, and they're all vegan! I got their $2 Chocolate Chip Happy Hour deal, which is every Tuesday and Wednesday from 4-5pm. My favorite cookies have been the Marble Fudge and S'mores. I highly, highly recommend! One of my all time favorite dessert spots! Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: reasonable -- their cookies are high quality AND vegan * Wait Time: minimal * Service: very good and friendly! * Parking: they have a parking garage nearby and street parking * Ambiance: it's a small, vibrant store!

Half dozen box

Went in today with my family and we bought a half dozen cookies! We mixed it up and got some different kinds, all delicious!!! We even got to meet Maya, herself, today, as she was working solo!!!! I couldn't believe I got to meet the legend herself! She was so kind and spoke with us for a little while. Did I mention these cookies are VEGAN AND DELICIOUS? I definitely recommend this place!

We always get something here whenever we go to the Italian place next door. Hubby loves their cookies especially the Marble cookie. ALL their cookies are vegan and they usually have at least 1 featured GF available, which i have tried and they are pretty good, love the texture and size. 2 things i wish is one, they don't use soy in their ingredients, and two, that they have more GF options.

Famous "everything", snickerdoodle, white chocolate macadamia nut, marble fudge, chocolate chip cookie, and birthday cake

Every single vegan friend of mine has recommended me Maya's Cookies. I vividly recall two attendees sharing a cookie with me at a vegan festival when I couldn't accommodate my schedule to wait in the very, very, very, very, and very long line at their booth. I found myself in San Marcos today and decided to stop by! There was one person behind the counter in this vibrant, clean, and pink storefront. He recommended me the white chocolate macadamia cookie as a final flavor (phenomenal choice) after I selected half a dozen to bring home. I saved a few for gifts and left the rest for my family. Let me tell you that these cookies didn't last for the whole night--they were sweet, softly doughy, buttery, sugary, and gloriously perfect. Yes, this is another testament that Maya's Cookies is the best cookie spot in San Diego--maybe even almost all of SoCal! 10000/10 would recommend!

Cookies!
Steven F.

The cookies are absolutely delicious. They are vegan! It was warm and fresh. What made our visit even better was the service! Calliah (I believe I spelled it right) was AMAZING! She was nice, sweet, attentive, and caring. She made us want to come back!

Chocolate snickerdoodle, birthday, butterscotch, marble
Allyson D.

Still in love with this place. I tried two new cookies this time. The oreo stuffed is basically a chocolate chip cookie with a single oreo inside. The white chocolate macadamia can be overly sweet, but the server asked which one I wanted. I chose the bigger one rather than looking at the ratio of white chocolate to nut. Hah! S'mores is still one of my favorites. You know what I forgot to inspect? If they serve plant-based milk. While in line, I noticed the candles, but didn't pay attention to anything else. Not even if there was seating... haha! The cookie counter is where I'm zoned into.

Matcha White Chocolate Chip

After many many years of enjoying Maya's Cookies via pop-ups, we finally had the opportunity to visit one of the stores! My long history with Maya's Cookies started at vegan food events in Long Beach. It was always a memorable experience because of the variety of tasty flavors. There were a few times that we were in San Diego but the store hours were never open while we were in town. So when I found out we would be in the San Marcos area, we prioritized a visit to Maya's new CSUSM location. We were greeted immediately by a friendly young man behind the cookie counter. When we told him that we planned to order a bunch of cookies, he offered a tip on how to keep the cookies fresh if we planned to eat them later (freeze them!). At $4 a cookie, we asked if there were deals for ordering a certain quantity. Unfortunately no deals. So rather than ordering one of everything, we still treated ourselves to the following: - Famous Everything https://bit.ly/3DUppp9 - Oreo Stuffed https://bit.ly/3DpnMya - Chocolate Chip S'mores https://bit.ly/3DUpHwf - Chocolate Turtle https://bit.ly/3NropM8 - Birthday Cake https://bit.ly/3NsX5xa - Classic Chocolate Chip https://bit.ly/3UlMKFI - Matcha White Chocolate https://bit.ly/3DReX1s The cookie guy asked me if I really like the flavor of matcha because he said the flavor is strong. Glad he said that because Hubby doesn't usually like the flavor of matcha so that one was just for me. We shared all other flavors. Our goodies were packed up in a big pink carrier box and we went on our merry way excited for the delicious treats we were about to indulge in. Also, the trick to freeze the cookies is such a legit tip! We were able to enjoy some of these treats a week later. Maya's Cookies is definetely one of my favorite vegan cookie brands!

We ordered coffee and then started working on our laptops. From the get go we could tell the cashier woman was NOT a friendly person, it was like we were annoying her by being in her cafe. Our goal was to work there for the day and eat lunch there as well. There were hardly any other customers in the place the entire time we were there. At about 11:20 the cashier woman came to our table with our original receipt and showed us the time stamp on the receipt and said, "I told you you can only be here for about an hour, this is not the kind of cafe where you can sit and work all day." I said, "It's only 11:20, it's not even lunch time, we planned on ordering lunch here as well." She just walked away and said nothing. ​We should have left but we were in the middle of working. We did end up ordering food, 2 avocado toast dishes. They made one of them incorrectly and they tasted just OK. We certainly didn't tip her and we certainly will NOT be going back there EVER again. There are other reviewers who feel the same way about this woman, read carefully before you consider giving this place a single penny, she doesn't deserve your business. W​e are always looking for nice little cafes to work from, she could have gotten 2 new customers for life, instead she gets this review and maybe one day will learn a lesson.

We also ordered the gluten-free focaccia because my sister is gluten intolerant, and it was seriously good. I could barely believe it was gluten-free. It came with olive oil and balsamic for dipping--the olive oil was perfectly good, though nothing especially memorable. The bread was the star. I got the Sofia pizza with ham, artichokes, and mushrooms, and loved it. After trying plenty of pizza on a recent trip to Europe, this was one of the closest experiences I've had in the U.S. to that style. The toppings tasted fresh, and the pizza was delicious. The very center was thin and a little floppy, so picking up slices was tricky, but a knife and fork solved that easily. The servers were attentive and kept our water bottle refilled, which we really appreciated during the October heat wave. Going early, around 5:30, also meant it wasn't too busy yet. One practical heads-up: parking took us about 6-10 minutes of circling, partly because we wanted a close spot for my older mom. By the time we left around 7, the area was getting packed, so I'd allow extra time if you're coming during the dinner rush. Overall, excellent food, great gluten-free options, and thoughtful service. Five stars--I'd happily come back.

Great local spot, that I want the world and yet no one to know about, all at once…read more I had a craving for fish tacos. Sir we ventured here. I have the El Pascado, TallGirl had the Adaboado and the Coco Loco. For good measure we also got chips and guacamole. They have stubborn cola, which is always a hit for me. The chips were fresh and crisp and perfect amount of salt. The guacamole had a lovely lime hit. It was very good (from a non guacamole lover) and I especially like it with the chipotle salsa. My tacos were so yummy! I love how each taco had some fresh fruit on it. Each bite made my mouth happy!! The service was friendly, quick and personal. I felt like we were in a place where everyone knows your name. There is outdoor seating in the front and rear patio. And about 11 tables inside. This is on the list to come back to again and again!!

When ordering my food customer service was great. I sat own and received chips and salsa. These were great as well, the chips were amazing! Today I ordered the Vegan Avocado, Vegan Al Pastor and the Vegan Zucchini tacos. I was really looking forward to the chips and salsa but I didn't receive anything :/. Since I was the only one that just ordered in the restaurant I just figured maybe they don't offer them anymore. My food came out quickly but it was nice last time to have the chips to scope up my fallen fillings. Another customer came in and ordered and within minutes they received chips and salsa. Not sure why I didn't receive anything. I was disappointed I didn't receive any because I really enjoyed them my last time here. Atmosphere is great and a nice quiet place to enjoy your food.

The location is absolutely…read morestunning, with beautiful lake views from every angle, and the sunset made the evening even more magical. We had a very large group of about 14-15 women, and I was so impressed with the service. The staff was attentive, organized, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. Even better, they didn't automatically add gratuity for a large party, which made us want to tip them even more because the service truly earned it. Our table ordered what felt like every appetizer on the menu, and every single one was delicious. The cocktails were just as impressive. The Midnight Margarita, topped with a beautiful orchid, was as gorgeous as it was delicious, and the Aperol Sunset Spritz was the perfect drink to enjoy while watching the sun go down over the lake. From the food and drinks to the incredible staff and breathtaking setting, everything exceeded our expectations. It was a flawless evening, and I would absolutely recommend Amalfi for a special occasion--or any excuse to enjoy an amazing meal with an unforgettable view. 10/10, we'll definitely be back!

I searched for a nice restaurant in San Diego on Yelp that is actually open on MONDAYS for dinner…read moreand Amalfi appeared in the search. We wanted to have dinner at a place we could easily meet up with our friend who is visiting from out of state. My hubby hasn't seen him in years so we can't wait to have some good food and catch up with him... I made RESERVATIONS for a party of 4... AMBIANCE: 10/10 Beautiful interior and a nice location by the lake. There's also outdoor patio seating by the lake as well. There was a birthday party for a 10 year old so we decided to stay in doors... CLAMS & MUSSELS: 10/10 Definitely worth $30. The mussels and clams were so fresh and tender. The mussels were my favorite because it was pretty big and super moist. But, be careful of some of the shells though. I got a few crunchy bites from the shells inside some clams and mussels but, not too much that it could stop me from devouring it... CALAMARI: 9/10 the batter was not super crunchy but, it stuck on well to the calamari. It was crunchy enough for me though. The important part for me is the calamari itself. It was actually FRESH! It was not chewy or rubbery at all... MEATBALL APPETIZER: 8/10 I'm not really into meatballs meaning I prefer seafood and veggies but, it was tender and not overly salty like most meatballs. My party enjoyed it... LOBSTER LINGUINE: 8.5/10 The pasta sauce had a really nice flavor. Not sure if the pasta was house made. The lobster was huge! Half of a whole lobster and they impressively took out the claw meat. I had to knock out some points for OVER COOKING the lobster though. It was very tough and dry... PRIME RIBEYE: 10/10 STAR OF THE SHOW! Worth $83. Bravo and compliments to the CHEF. This steak had some serious flavor and was cooked perfectly. So nice and JUICY! I usually need Chimichurri, Worcestershire or ketchup with Tabasco to eat with all my steaks but, this was the FIRST steak I could actually eat all by itself... CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT CAKE: 9/10 It came out instantly. Tasted great. If you LOVE chocolate and hazelnut. This is a rich treat you will enjoy! SERVICE: 8/10 B+ Our server was good but, my party got the vibe that he was kind of rushing us a bit. I mean, the appetizers came out fast within 10 minutes. However, the MAIN courses took 30-40 minutes to come out! And when it came out there was barely room for it at our table because our appetizers and plates were not picked up fast enough... The LADY and GUYS that brought out our food was GREAT! She even took a picture for us. The manager was great too he stopped by to make sure we were doing ok... Luckily, we ordered 3 appetizers while waiting 40 minutes for the main course to come out otherwise we would have been super HANGRY!!! 4 star experience today for AMALFI CUCINA ITALIANA
