OK, it's Friday night and you live in Cardiff or you're visiting Cardiff what are you gonna have…read morefor dinner that everyone is gonna love? You're gonna go into Seaside and go to the counter and say I want the classic Cardiff crack sandwich, which will feed at least two people and maybe a kid beside. Then you gotta go down and lock the chip aisle and get your favorite chips. Maybe a nice bottle of wine check out go home and eat! When we first moved down here, I wasn't a huge fan of Cardiff crack, but I've become to look forward to every chance I get to have it. I know why it's a legend, so if you're in the neighborhood, stop and get it.

This place is our go-to for just about everything whenever we stay in Cardiff. On weekends, their…read morebreakfast platter is a must-have--it comes with French toast, eggs, thick-cut bacon, and a potato pancake. The portion is generous enough to share, and it's so much easier than dealing with the crowds, parking, long waits, or having to bus your own table like we seem to encounter at so many places around San Diego. For dinner, we often stop by the deli and seafood counter to pick up cooked shrimp and a few sides. We take everything back to our Airbnb, warm it up, and enjoy a relaxing dinner on the patio. It's become one of our favorite vacation traditions. The dessert case is incredible, and choosing just one treat is nearly impossible! I do miss the tuxedo custard mousse cake (or whatever it was called)--it was absolutely delicious. It's also a great place to grab lunch meats, fresh rolls, or bread for easy beach sandwiches. Best of all, the staff is consistently friendly and genuinely enjoys chatting with customers. I've had so many pleasant conversations with people at the seafood, meat, and deli counters over the years. Great food, great service, and always a stop we look forward to on every trip.

I shop here weekly and occasionally grab food from the deli and sushi bar, but the hot items have…read morebeen disappointing lately. I've bought the whole cooked chicken a few times at different times of day and it's consistently been tough to slice and on the dry side. I've also tried the hamburger patties twice and they were dense and overcooked, basically hockey pucks. On the positive side, the sushi is decent and the spicy noodles are good. I'm not sure if there's consistent quality control happening, but it feels like the overall hot food quality has declined over the years.

I am a life-long fan of their Vitamineral Green, meaning I'll probably be using it for the rest of…read moremy life. The product works for me, is excellent quality, and I am thankful it exists. I was introduced to this product by my mom several years ago. (She gave me my first bottle.) My usage has become more consistent over the past year or so. Although it actually has a range of other good-to-your-body ingredients, the primary reason I use it is because I know I don't regularly eat enough green vegetables. So I supplement by adding a heaping tablespoon of Vitamineral Green to the smoothies I drink before my morning workout. I'm not sure why but when I first used this product (several years ago) it seemed to produce headaches. I stopped taking it after a week or so but used it sporadically for a few years. When my (now-deceased) husband got sick, I knew I needed to take better care of myself and I began to take a harder look at this product. And while I conducted no scientific tests to prove this, my thought is that the headaches I experienced in the past were likely due to several factors: I wasn't drinking enough water (barely one glass a day!), I wasn't getting enough rest/sleep, and my daily eating and drinking habits needed an intervention. Fast forward to now and a day without my Vitamineral Green is a day my body knows something is missing. Along with drinking more water, getting more sleep, and exercising, I feel like this product has helped improve my general overall health in the past year. I recommend checking out their website, calling with any questions, reading online reviews before making a decision about purchasing any of their products. They have excellent customer service!

I love shopping at Sprouts Encinitas because of the very high quality and variety of fruits and…read morevegetables. i also enjoy their fresh made sandwich section. Not only are sandwiches delicious, but they are a great value. What is even more special about Sprouts is the kindness and helpfulness of its employees. Today , I had another very special surprise. I spoke to Bob, the store manager, about Sprouts supporting a Thanksgiving Luncheon on Thanksgiving Day for our community seniors who have no one to share that special day with. What a gracious man!!! Stores are constantly being asked to support various charities, but he reacted as if my request was the most important one he had to deal with and agreed to a generous donation. Stores are in business to make money, but by his actions, Bob made it really clear that Sprouts is in business to serve our community. Sprouts is a great place to patronize.

We are regular customers at the Whole Foods pizza counter and order pizza for our family there…read moreoften, usually one or two whole pizzas at a time. Unfortunately, it is consistently a very slow experience, even when there are only a few customers ahead of us. Despite having a very large pizza oven capable of cooking multiple pizzas at once, pizzas are routinely cooked one at a time, which often results in 30+ minute wait times. Today's experience was especially disappointing. The store had run out of pizza boxes, so our pizza was placed into a cake box that was too small to fit it properly. The employee cut the pizza and stacked half the slices on top of the other half, causing the pizza to become messy and smashed together. She handled the slices directly with her hands instead of using a spatula, and several pepperoni pieces fell off in the process. In addition, the employee placed two different stickers on the box -- one appearing to indicate a single pizza and another appearing to indicate two pizzas -- which could have easily resulted in us being charged incorrectly. When I politely asked whether we could receive a discount because of the condition of the pizza and the inconvenience, I was initially told very rudely that there would be no discount and that the register would not help either. I was then asked, with obvious attitude, whether I wanted the pizza remade, which would "take another 10 minutes." I simply asked for the missing pepperoni pieces to be placed back on the pizza. The manager ultimately did provide a 50% discount, which we appreciated. However, even the manager acknowledged the pizza had been handled improperly and wanted to take a picture because she was surprised by how it had been packaged. Despite that, the response still felt dismissive, including being told the discount would only be done "this one time," as though the issue had not clearly been caused by the store's handling of the order. We understand mistakes happen, including running out of boxes, but customer service, food handling, and basic professionalism still matter -- especially for repeat customers who spend a significant amount there regularly.
