    Green Machine Smoothie
    Leslie B.

    Who would have known that my go-to coffee shop would be a drive up coffee shop! As there is no seating area, this review is based on the product, service, and value. The Bean Box is close to where I run lots of errands, so it is convenient to stop by after my gym class on weekends. I had been struggling with finding a coffee shop in the area, where I could get my iced coffee the way I like it. I have ordered my iced coffee there now several times. They have nonfat milk, as many places no longer have. They also have Splenda, my preferred sweetener. Finally, they have regular iced coffee, not simply cold brew. Last time I went, I also bought a green machine smoothie.... a healthy green smoothie that isn't too sweet, but is also not bitter. The menu has various coffee drinks, a few smoothies, açaí bowls, and several pastries. Service is friendly and fast. Prices are reasonable as compared to coffee shops in the area.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]One of the best coffee stands in San Diego.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I come from Washington where the coffee options are elite and this coffee stand is probably one of the only ones that is even comparable to ones in Washington.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also give dog treats haha

    Small iced matcha with oat milk & Small iced chai with an extra shot. Our total was $11

    Wanted to stop by since it looked like a cute and quick, tiny spot in the Baron's Market parking lot. *Beware they do not have the prices up on their menus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The matcha latte was okay, definitely was a latte mix so it was very sweet with a vanilla flavor, and not the ceremonial kind the matcha girlies are looking for.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We also got the iced chai with an extra shot and it was so rich and dark![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was great, two very nice ladies. Overall it was just a quick stop.

    Very cute drive up coffee shop. Husband and I went around 11 am. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I got the Mexican mocha , so yummy, reminds me of abuelitas hot chocolate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Husband got an ice coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Only one person working the stand so very personable and intimate. Will definitely come again!

    Lavender White Mocha

    Went here for the first time today and can't wait to go back! I got the lavender white mocha and it was a 10/10. Helena was very sweet and told me about their punch card program

    Got a large cappuccino and tasted like milk that's it. I was very disappointed but I really needed a cup of coffee at 8 am.

    Apparently, an oat milk cappuccino.

    I started coming here more often and the service is always amazing and smoothies and bowls tasty!…read moreThe manager/owner of this place is a really sweet guy and prioritizes customers when it comes to the business. I can tell he tries to remember every face that comes in and he was kind enough to remedy the situation today when I was waiting for it and one of the other workers didn't know it was for me and put it in the fridge. I will continue coming back to support this business! They are consistent with their bowls and smoothies too which is great!

    Everbowl -- Loma Portal, San Diego…read more Back in my natural habitat. Ordered the Large PB Everbowl because confidence was high and hunger was higher. Respectfully... the large fought back. Let's start with the good. Flavor? Solid. Peanut butter showed up like a starter, not a bench player. Ingredients were fresh, clean, and legit. Now the audit. The ratios on the large made mixing feel like a CrossFit session. I was excavating toppings only to discover a thick reserve of untouched açaí at the bottom. Structurally ambitious. Practically challenging. Professional recommendation: Order the medium. Better balance. Better blend. Less archaeological digging. The base leaned a little heavy for my personal preference -- not bad, just dense. Some people like that. I prefer flow. Now... the headline. The Staff!! 6/5. I don't hand those out casually. Friendly. Fast. Honest. Elite banter. The kind of service that makes you want to become a regular immediately. Would I go back? For the bowl? Yes. For the staff? Immediately. Rating 3.8 / 5 Açaí Berries Breakdown Taste: 4/5 Ingredients: 4/5 Ratios: 3/5 Service: 6/5 Vibes: 5/5 Current Status: Medium over Large Lesson Learned: Size matters. Mix wisely. -- The Açaí Guy

    Prefacing with - I don't really eat Acai Bowls, it feels like just a thick smoothie with some…read moretoppings but I cannot deny that Juice Wave changed my perspective completely and I understand the hype. You can't really beat the refreshing taste of fresh fruit and nutty granola and butter. Especially when you can take this delectable bowl to the beach and just vibe in the sand. Wave Bowl $16 (14.50+1.50): 5/5 The bowl itself looks fairly small like, but deceptively so since I was stuffed after eating the whole thing for breakfast. It is higher cost than I would usually spend but I don't eat açaí bowls to know the average. Personally I really liked that the toppings were at the bottom and the bases were on top, not just because it was a beautiful display but because sometimes when it is the opposite, it can quickly get messy with toppings falling and dropping. The granola was crunchy and the add-on nut butter ($1.50) was plentiful and contrasted well to the fruits. You get some finely diced strawberries and bananas that were just the right amount of ripe, the bananas a little more firm but definitely preferred with the bases. The pineapple spirulina was favorite as it had a good sweetness to it. Honestly wished I could get a bowl with just this as a base and of course the natural blue color is just so unique. Coconut was coconutty and the pitaya was brightly colored, not too much distinctive taste on this one. Peak San Diego Experience

    I loveeee their acai bowl. At first, I was skeptical because one bowl is almost $15. But these…read morebowls are BIG and really loaded with fruit. Their granola is also one of the best granolas I've had at an acai place. They can get pretty busy though, expect up to a 30 minute wait on a busy day. But I would definitely come back if in the area.
