    I was in town for my BIL wedding at the courthouse a couple of blocks away and was really hangry for a bite to munch on and a cold drink to get some relief from the hot summer weather. Their menu is relatively simple and I selected their Feisty Chicken. I asked them to tone down the spice a lil and it was a definitely a good choice. Lots of flavor and i washed it down w an ice cold orange juice. Great service, friendly staff, and a cozy lil spot kinda hidden just on the outskirts of little Italy in San Diego. Only thing I could say they may try to improve on is maybe more seating but other than that, I'd definitely come here again.

    When businesses claim to have the "best" of something, I'm always a little skeptical. I took one bite and I get the hype. Wow, this was one of the best sandwiches I ever had! My husband and I stayed at a hotel nearby and needed a quick bite for lunch (get it?) The establishment is small, there is very little seating and some tables outside. My husband ordered the brisket chimichurri sandwich and it was bomb. I wanted a bit of spice and ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich. Absolutely amazing. I love the kick and I appreciate that the chicken breast was nice and moist - not dry at all! Both sandwiches had so much flavor. I was impressed. They also serve breakfast sandwiches all day! And offer smoothies, pastries, salads, and soups. I would highly recommend trying the sandwiches though! Did not disappoint.

    I am so pleased by quick bites cafe! I had an appointment Nextdoor and I waited over there at the cafe. The service was TOP TIER!! They were so nice!!!!! I highly recommend checking this place out! They have a happy hour as well!

    I had a super yummy meal at Quick Bites!! The inside of the cafe is decorated really nicely, and the staff are super friendly. My sandwich tasted so good. I also had a peanut butter chocolate protein smoothie and it went perfect with my meal. I really love all the menu options but this is by far my favorite one since I like the spiciness. Definitely recommend!! Go now before Quick Bites goes viral!

    opped in here for a quick breakfast but unfortunately it took forever to get our orders. Very misleading name. There is only one little oven so orders were jammed up. My breakfast sandwich was very good once I got it but we waited almost half an hour for it. So if you're in a hurry, don't stop here if your in a hurry. The focaccia bread was delicious. It's a small shop with some a few counter seating inside and a few small tables out front.

    Definitely not quick but made with TLC and quality ingredients which likely contribute to not being quickly made. Great little breakfast joint in Little Italy if you're looking for a solid quality bagel breakfast sandwich or something breakfast and coffee related. There's really no seating other than the sidewalk tables so it's a very quick in and out place but good if you don't want to be at a long meal and looking to get something relatively "quick-ish" that isn't really quick but satisfying nonetheless if you can afford a little more time in exchange for quality.

    Stopped by to celebrate their 1 year anniversary. The staff were super sweet and welcoming. The owners were greeting everyone, and it was nice to chat with them. They offer a variety of things from coffee, to smoothies to sandwiches and desserts. My friend raved about how the breakfast sandwich was delicious. They had offered samples of a chicken sandwich which was really good and the brownie was rich decadent. They have a small seating area inside, but also offer a few tables outside if you'd like to stay and eat. I will definitely be stopping by here again, when I'm in the area.

    Brisket Chimichurri on gluten free focaccia bread

    Highly, highly recommend stopping here if you want to try some truly fantastic sandwiches - especially if you need to eat gluten free! I happened to find this place after I got stranded in San Diego due to a canceled flight. Nice little shop with friendly staff, a few tables outside the front. I got the brisket chimichurri sandwich on their gluten free focaccia bread - 10/10, one of the best gluten free sandwiches I'd ever eaten!!! So flavorful and well balanced, not heavy at all. The gluten free bread was spectacular. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be sure to pay them another visit!

    10/10!! Great service and the food was DELICIOUS!! We got their Supreme Protein smoothy, Bagel and Cream cheese, and Chipotle chicken sandwich! Everything was perfect! The focaccia options all look so good! The employees were also really nice and helpful! Coming back here again!

    Quick Bites Cafe is part of a set of businesses in a corner complex in the heart of Little Italy. They have been open for less than a week. Several tables were out front on the sidewalk to complement the countertop seating inside that had four high-top chairs. The menu board listed four breakfast items, five sandwiches, four salads, smoothies, and hot/cold drinks. On display in a glass case at the service counter were some baked goods. The cashier (owner?) offered a sample of the passionfruit juice that was in a carafe next to the orange juice while I placed my order. The juice was quite refreshing. I picked The Turkey Deluxe to-go which was made up of sliced turkey, bacon, avocado, roma tomato, lettuce, mayo, salt & pepper, and pepper jack cheese. The components were served on focaccia bread. I also received a portion of the Chipotle Chicken sandwich as a freebie. The service was terrific as evident by the complimentary samples. The owner answered my questions and also asked some of his own. My only nitpick was that the bread seemed harder than I have experienced with focaccia. Otherwise, the sandwich tasted very good, and my visit to Quick Bites Cafe was pleasant to the point that I rounded up to five stars.

    First time here as I tried to venture out from my lunch norm. They have a variety of sandwiches. I ordered the club sandwich which was good. It was fresh. It was a bit on the heavy side for lunch though. Prices are slightly pricey however keep in mind you're in Little Italy. I'll probably go back and try something else. I really wanted coffee but I opted out. Perhaps next time I come back I'll get more than just a sandwich. Staff was nice and welcoming. I ordered via phone, picked up my sandwich and ate it inside on the side counter.

    Huge fan of quick bites! Food is delicious especially the foccacia they put their sandwiches on. I'd really like to highlight the incredible service though, one of the staff noticed my sandwich was lacking avocado while he was cleaning the table next to mine and immediately had them remake and let me keep the one I already had for free. Grade A service that I rarely see anymore. I'll definitely be back since it is such a great location in the heart of Little Italy.

    **July 2026: Sunday Afternoon Visit**…read more After an amazing (but exhausting) weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, my body was seriously craving something refreshing and nutritious. I had walked past Vitality Tap several times since it's conveniently located near my hotel, and on my last day I finally decided to stop in and I'm so glad I did. The space is a cool mix of a vitamin/supplement shop and a health focused drink and café spot. For a Sunday afternoon, it was surprisingly busy, with staff hustling to make drinks and açaí bowls. Despite the crowd, everything looked well-organized, and all the customers seemed genuinely happy with their orders. I ordered "The Dragon," which had pitaya, coconut water, pineapple, and strawberries. It was incredibly refreshing, which was exactly what I needed after hours of walking in the heat. Light, hydrating, and flavorful without being overly sweet. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area to try their açaí bowls and juices. Great spot for a post adventure reset.

I placed an order ahead of time and showed up about 25 minutes later thinking it would be ready. When I checked in, a younger employee told me it would be another 10 minutes. Annoying, but okay. The parking situation around here is already a nightmare, so I really wasn't thrilled about having to stand around waiting even longer. Well, those 10 minutes turned into 25. During that time, I watched multiple people walk in, place orders after I had already checked in, and receive their food before me. The crazy part? It wasn't even busy. There was no line out the door, no rush, no obvious reason for such a ridiculous delay. After waiting long enough, I finally went up to an older gentleman working there (I'm assuming the owner) and politely explained that I had been waiting a very long time and was confused why people ordering after me were getting their food first. Instead of apologizing or even acknowledging the mistake, he was rude, dismissive, and acted like I was inconveniencing him for asking about an order that should have been ready ages ago. Then, after another 10 minutes, my bowls were finally ready. In total, I waited about 35 minutes after checking in for pickup. To top it all off, the older gentleman practically shoved the bowls at me without so much as a "sorry for the wait." Look, delays happen. Mistakes happen. What bothered me was the complete lack of communication, accountability, and basic customer service. If you're running behind, just be honest about it. Don't tell someone 10 minutes when it's really going to be over half an hour. The açaí is good, but not nearly good enough to make up for being treated like an annoyance. There are plenty of other places in San Diego serving great bowls without the attitude.
