They recommended the banana latte with cinnamon foam, and wow, it was actually SO GOOD. I ordered the soyrizo burrito to-go. If you're eating outside the cafe, I'd suggest asking for your sides to be packed separately - the fruit wasn't as fresh by the time I got to it, but the burrito was super flavorful and delicious! Next time, I'll be asking for extra salsa because it's just that amazing. I can't wait to come back and try more drinks and pastries ((: So cute and aesthetic, perfect for a work date!

We ordered Bacon Burrito, Avocado Toast, Lox Toast, Classic Breakfast Sandwhich, Roasted Veggie Farro Bowl and a Coconut Chia Pudding. Everything tasted great and portion size was perfect.

The meat of this review: the owner was so kind & prompt to reach out about my complaint for the loud-echoing music (given its finals week and this is the only 24/7 spot open on campus)..and I've been awake for 52 mf hours yall so I just can't play rn... and the employees sure enough were swift to respect the condition of finals right now. I LOOOVE music so I hate to be a party kill truly, but I respect all levels of this establishment for everything considered. An establishment that's flexible & can adapt gets all my respect & adoration!!!

The staff is friendly, anything you buy looks gorgeous and the inside is immaculate. Ambience 9/10 Lunar New Year Croissant Described as a croissant filled with sesame and almond paste, this is a good but not great croissant. It has the layers, it has the chew, but it's no better than a croissant you would get at a number of other bakeries in the area. But those other bakeries are charging $4-7 instead of $10! The almond and sesame flavors were both very subtle and make me believe there is just a very minimal amount used in the recipe. Would not recommend even as a chewy over crispy croissant guy. 5/10 Creme brûlée latte Pretty much what I wanted without description. Creamy, noticeable but not overpowering vanilla flavor, and a lovely burnt topping for bitter balance. The coffee still comes through meaning this is a well crafted latte, not a dessert. This one actually comes at a pretty decent price too. 8/10 Yuzu & lime tart Their take on meringue pie is composed of a graham crust, yuzu mousse, and a meringue topper with a circle of lemon curd gel. To my taste, there is too much sweet on this plate, needing some balance of tart. But the textures of each component were on point: fluffy meringue, thick lemon gel, dense crust, and substantial yet airy mousse. Torching the meringue at home added a bitter element which I think made the sweetness more palatable. Would have liked the citrus to be more present. 5/10. All in all I would choose other sweets shops at most shopping centers than return here but for drinks this is a pretty good option.

Typical hospital cafeteria. Edible…read more Flavorless because if you are here you should be watching your sodium and cholesterol anyway. No labels on any of the self-serve food. Be sure to look at the video screens for pricing. Also any labels are not always accurate. The salads have meat hidden inside, the veggies are not what they say they are- 'sunchoke' might mean potato. I haven't been to the UCSD campus often enough to have found a better place to eat. If you don't have a car, this may be your best bet, unless there is a food truck parking the circle. Ick. Hope I never have to come back.

This was probably my second visit here, with the first one being several years ago. I was looking…read morethrough their menu recently and found myself craving an acai bowl on a sunny day, so I decided it was time to come back. One thing I absolutely LOVE about this place is the whole garden café concept. They have two separate counters, one right in front of the parking lot for food orders and another tucked inside the garden for coffee, pastries, and bowls. The Green Power Bowl sounded tempting, but I ended up going with the Pitaya bowl, and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. After the first bite, I could immediately tell the fruits were fresh and no syrups were used and the fruit didn't have that frozen texture that some places use. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. For $12.50, I also thought the portion was surprisingly generous, especially considering the fresh ingredients. The couple taking orders and serving customers were incredibly friendly to me and others, and the whole place had that welcoming, local neighborhood feel that's becoming harder to find these days. I found the garden beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating whether you want to sit in the sun or find a shady spot to relax. I'm already looking forward to coming back.

Limited menu and spotty service during the lunch time rush (I received a different smoothie than…read morethe one I ordered and witnessed more mix-ups among other patrons as well), but the food is good and the space bright and airy, so an easy choice if you're working in or happen to be visiting the UCSD Health Campus. I asked for a Bonsai Smoothie (açaí, strawberry, banana, almond milk) and instead was given Berry Mojito (strawberry, blueberry, banana, mint, almond milk), but it was still tasty. No complaints about my Poke Bowl (ahi tuna, seaweed salad, sweet onion, cucumber, furikake, crispy wontons, poke sauce, spicy mayo) - I chose mixed greens instead of white rice as the base - which was fresh and well-portioned.

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. -The bla&t ($15) sandwich came with smoked bacon, lettuce, avocado, tamo, basil mayo, and best of all, levain bread.

The crisp chicken lived up to its name, and stayed crispy the entire time. -I also got an iced caffee latte with oat milk and vanilla syrup ($6.40). It was refreshing. This restaurant also has quite a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, both with good lighting. If you want a place to work/study, this could be your new pick.

Bubble Up which I drank alot when I was a kid but rarely see now was a pleasant surprise.  I loved the sweet lemon lime flavor.  They have a very good drink selection here. Zapps potato chips were crunchy and had a nice fried potato flavor.  A bit like Utz potato chips. 2nd visit I tried the Matt Cain sandwich.  I modified it so it had turkey, roast beef, bacon, lettuce, and tomato on the Dutch Crunch Bread.  Bread had a fresh aroma and flavor.  One of my fav breads.  Lettuce and tomato were fresh and crisp.  Bacon had a bit of crunch and a delicious salty and smoky flavor.  Roast beef and turkey were tender and tasty.  Great tasting sandwich. Zapps bbq potato chips were crunchy and I loved the tangy and smoky flavor. Staff was nice and got my order out quick.  Ike's makes great tasting sandwiches and has an awesome drink selection.  I noticed that you can purchase extra meat.  I'll give that a try next time.

My sandwich was made perfectly and was ready at the time I set for pickup after ordering ahead on the app. I got the Terrell Davis which comes with turkey, avocado, bacon and Swiss. Asked for light dirty sauce. All the flavors worked really well together and it didn't eat too salty. Loved that they had a good amount of avocado in it too. It's located right at the entrance of the strip mall as you're driving in. Decent amount of parking but it was very busy when I came on a Tues during lunch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, more indoor though.
