    I am not one to write reviews but I've never had a small business bamboozle me so hard like i did today. i have been here so many times, i love the coffee and the food is decent, I was there this morning, and mind you (THE OWNER OF THE PLACE WAS WORKING) He sells me a " breakfast sandwich with sausage, cheese, and egg on a croissant" I'm like oh great that sounds wonderful so I ordered it. I drive away. I take a bite out of it, and realize I got bamboozled into buying one seven dollar Jimmy Dean croissant breakfast sandwich that's the size of my palm. And he also told " yes they're really good!" so I was actually excited about it, because some of their stuff is actually homemade. I took it back and he knew exactly what he did wrong. This was beyond rude, very manipulative, not worth it to go here again after that.

    Acai Subterranean Bowl Aka
    Jennifer S.

    Service was wonderful today! So glad I was told about this business having a drive through as I didn't go to the other location because I didn't feel like dealing with parking. Got the Sub açaí bowl and it was delicious. Bummed they don't have almond butter or chia pudding. So I might try other spots going forward if I feel like getting out of my car.

    There were lots of reviews on the Acai bowls and I'm sure they are one of the best in town based on the pictures posted alone! Great place to grab coffee and go if you're local in the neighborhood. Probably not the safest as their are homeless (but that's more of the city's issue. There's plenty of seating and a lovely outdoor San Diego vibes. It's also located near other food trucks too so that's a plus. Tried the Keith Richards $6.75 (4 shots of espresso and Mexican chocolate). This drinker kicked my booty and I love it. The other drinks that my group had 1-2 shots and were more drinking for flavor than the coffee itself. The drinks can be drowned in milk, but the baristas are very accommodating and can adjust upon request. +Lots of parking in the Target parking lot +Outdoor seating and a bench -Safety

    Açaí Subterranean Bowl Aka

    This is a great local place to try. I love this place. Small and cozy. There is a table to sit or drive thru which is perfect. The waitress are so nice. I for the ice lavender latte is very good. Açaí bowl is also good and it's bigger than other place. Great place to try

    Ok hear me out--Subterranean is the best coffee in South Park. You might be thinking, but what about Communal, or Cafe Madeline, even Dark Horse?? I will say those are all great, but what it comes down to for me is Subterranean has all their great qualities--and more--in one. I think the highlight is their coffee most of all. I always get some form of iced caramel oat milk latte and theirs tastes the best and the sweetest. Other than the coffee, they're fast, offer drive-thru & outside seating, have great people, and offer a lot on their menu including food and smoothies. I have to stop myself from driving here before work everyday because it's so easy! Love, love, love.

    Coconut Explosion and Hazelnut Mocha
    Jeannine O.

    Cute spot in a little hur. You can drive up if you want or sit and enjoy in the chairs and tables outside. Really nice peeps working here and the coffee is delicious. I had the Coconut Explosion and it was nutty and helped quench my coconut craving. Hubs had the Chocolate Hazelnut Mocha and said it was the best he's ever had. Definitely drop by and grab something if you're nearby.

    I enjoyed a very nice yogurt, banana, and strawberry smoothie from this Subterranean Coffee location. It's not a brick and motor, but more of a kiosk with seating and a drive thru. The smoothie was very good. The banana and strawberry flavors were right up front, but I would of liked to taste that yogurt a bit more. The smoothie had good consistency which means it was thick yet creamy and easy to drink. Although, one has to be careful to avoid brain freeze. The two young ladies running the kiosk were super nice and offered good senses of humor.

    Protein Bowl with peanut butter .
    Gwen T.

    Another great place for Acai. My daughter and I had the protein bowl with peanut butter but even without it it would still have been just right for me. For some reason or another whenever I have a chance to pick up a bowl and have devoured it it somehow settles well in my stomach. This may be a little corner venue but their Acai bowls are worth trying.

    I'm the nightmare customer that walked in 5mins before closing; 1:55pm. A sweet and kind barista walked up to my car in the drive thru and I asked if the acai Bowls were still available. They said Yeah of course! So I ordered and paid. Because I came right before the storefront was closing for the day, I assumed my bowls were gonna be a little dinky maybe sparce, as punishment for making them stay longer than intended. WAS. I. WRONG. LOOK AT THESE BOWLS. STILL JAM PACKED WITH ALL THE GOODIES. NOT AN INGREDIENT SKIMPPED ON. EVERY SPOT AVAILABLE WAS FILLED. What a gift to be thankful for a day after Thanksgiving. This is true customer service. Thank you really thank you. I didn't feel like a burden and I didn't feel any animosity from the barista. Thank you for demonstrating hospitality to its fullest.

    Unicorn Pitaya Bowl
    Alicia L.

    Great little local spot to get Acai bowls in South Park. They have a few different ones to choose. I went with the Unicorn Pitaya bowl. Fruit was fresh and portions were perfect. I was able to mix the fruit and get some fruit in every bite. The coconut topping had a little crunch to it and was great for adding texture. The only food I would not try are the muffins/pastries sitting in clear container on counter. They looked very dried out and unappetizing. They have outside seating but it's right next to the road and not my favorite place to eat outside so I take my order to go.

    Finished my yoga class and was in the mood for a good ol smoothie. Hopped on yelp and cane across this gem! The gentleman who helped me was super friendly and recommended the Siamese Basil smoothie. I'm glad I took him up on the recommendation because it was probably my favorite smoothie I've ever had. All of the flavors mixed and complimented each other so well! I don't live in the area, but the next time I'm around, I'll definitely be back for another!!

I called yesterday and they told me he had already left for the day, and I called this morning and after a bit I was able to get ahold of him. He kept interrupting me while I was trying to explain to him what actually happened. He was rude and condescending during the call. I explained to him that when I tried to exchange the mango smoothies for an actual agua Fresca that I had actually initially ordered and paid for, that his employee took them and refunded me before he explained to me that he was going to refund me. I was trying to exchange 2 of the 3 I had bought and paid for. But the employee took them and tossed them into the trash behind the counter before he told me he wouldn't sell me anything else and kicked me out. At the same time, my son was outside with the drink he decided to keep and we didn't try to exchange. When the employee kicked me out I told him I was trying to buy others, but he wouldn't let me, told me to get out, so I left and told him I'd be leaving a review. For some reason he refunded me all 3 aguas ($15). I never asked for any of that, he just did it. It seemed that the owner and the employee both had an issue with the fact that my son kept the drink that he had outside. I'm really not sure what they expected me to do after I was kicked out. Did they want me to take it from him and throw it away? This has all been a very strange set of interactions. Luckily Señor Mangos and Anakin's aren't too far away. I can head there and order sugarless agua frescas and have never had an issue the dozens of times we've been there, either with the service of the taste. They are delicious and always so kind. If I were you, I'd steer clear of this place and go elsewhere.

    I've been trying to eat more healthy and have been obsessed with açaí bowls! I always pass by here…read morebut never stopped by until now. Ordered ahead via the app and it was ready on time, the store was completely empty on a weekday right after opening. The girl working was nice Got the Everbowl (regular size), and it was big enough to split with my sister. I loved the açaí base, it was the perfect consistency. Love how there's also so much fresh fruit and crunchy granola. We also got the avocado toast, and I liked the flavoring but wasn't a fan of the honey. The bread was also a bit burnt in the corner. Everything was a bit pricey but good. I will definitely come back for the açaí bowls!

    Happy New Year !!!…read more Time for an updated review and what way to start the year right than with a healthy treat! ! Everbowl is my go-to spot close to work for something light, nutritious, and delish! This time around I got the popular Everbowl with acai, granola, bananas, strawberry, and blueberry. Always fresh and hits! I love that they list the calories of each bowl so you know whether to be naughty or nice. Today I was in a "being good" mood. One of the best things about Everbowl is the customization. You can change up ingredients from the bases to toppings. Combinations are endless! They have fun signature bowls like Nutty Butty, Blue Lagoon, and Full Moon. They also have Whatever bowls, smoothies, toasts, sips, and even some food items and "take-me-homes." There's honestly something for everyone. You can also order ahead and schedule a pick up if that's your jam! Great Mission Valley location with easy parking, indoor and outdoor seating, restrooms and super friendly staff. Perfect pick-me-up especially in the summer, but I'll still grab one in any season. Giving 4 stars only because prices have gone up (RIP $8 unlimited toppings), but the quality is still solid and vegan-friendly. Healthy, refreshing, and worth it!

We tried the Southwest chicken sandwich (had a slight kick to it if you're sensitive to spice like us, but my son and I loved it). My other son had the cheese pizza, he liked it. My friend had the veggie wrap and said it was good. They serve beer and wine as well. They have a small amount of indoor seating inside. I'd highly recommend to take your food and find a spot to eat outside. We sat around the fountain and it was really nice. There was also a lot of "street entertainment" in different areas of that long strip of buildings, like a couple groups of 2-3 people playing strings (acoustics sounded beautiful with the help of the covered hallways) and a funny guy doing magic tricks.
