This was the absolute best brunch I've ever had. We collectively got the gluten-free French toast,…read morea breakfast bowl, and their house-made gluten-free bagel, and it was divine. We also took home some baked goods. It's so hard to find gluten-free French toast and baked goods that are actually good, and these were UNBELIEVABLE. You would never guess they were gluten-free. The vibe was cute and laid back and the service incredible. Despite the fact that it was very busy, the food came out really quickly. I will absolutely head back down to IB just to come here again. 10/10 recommend.

I tried their farmer's sandwich and chose a jalapeño cheddar bagel. On it was sausage, bacon, egg,…read morecream cheese and red onion, and it was awesome. The egg was perfect! They also have a young man who plays jazz piano there every Sunday, so the ambiance is pretty awesome along with the nice weather. Sometimes it can get windy so bring a sweater, but otherwise, it's usually a really nice day to hang out with friends and family. I also had a matcha ginger thyme latte with oat milk which was just tasty since ginger is a rare flavor in coffee drinks. I loved it, and it was so good that I took an extra one home. The service is amazing, and on busy days you may have to wait a bit, but it's worth it. If you have any questions about a dish, don't hesitate to ask!

We enjoyed trying authentic Italian cuisine at Balsamico Italian Kitchen in Imperial Beach, CA…read more The first time I had a taste of this restaurant was during a Yelp Elite Week event and so glad we finally had a chance to try it because everything we ordered was excellent 5/5 stars!! The owners are from Modena, Italy sharing their delicious recipes from back home. I had to do a little research on Modena because I had never heard of this city. It's north of Tuscany. Modena is a city in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, famous for its UNESCO World Heritage historic center, luxury car industry (Ferrari & Maserati), and world-renowned gastronomy, particularly traditional balsamic vinegar, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and Lambrusco wine. The restaurant provided complimentary bread with their homemade balsamic vinaigrette, which was excellent!! We recommend trying the following dishes: *Lobster Ravioli (MY FAVORITE) *Bolognese Lasagna *Mushroom Ravioli *Calamari Appetizer -w/restaurant made marinara The restaurant makes their own pasta. For dessert, we recommend trying their restaurant made: * Tiramisu *Crème brûlée (MY FAVORITE) The restaurant offers cooking classes for adults and children (6+) so be sure to check out their instagram page for workshop dates and times. There's indoor and outdoor seating with enough room for large groups. We had excellent customer service by server Jacob and are definitely coming back soon; check it out!! Happy Yelping :)

The chicken pizza was good. Not outstanding. Both needed more cheese . The chicken pizza also lacked flavor. The crust is outstanding! Fabulous sour dough pizza crust. They have an array of ingredients no other pizzeria in town has including Portuguese sausage Linguiça similar to Spanish sausage longaniza but more difficult to find. What struck me here was the best tasting blueberry sourdough scone I have ever had the pleasure of eating!!! Made fresh every morning by young woman named Leslie with the best attitude and a skilled baker! Texture, flavor, mixture consistency, fruit spread successfully throughout the scone . A texture that was divine in nature. Excellent bake goods!! I need to drop by for their chocolate scone I was told it is very good as well. If looking for a place to sit and enjoy your dinner Mangini's has games, music and seating all at a pleasurable range. The music isn't too loud and those dining were all very neighborly. The young people that work there make your dining experience even better. Great attitudes, professional and friendly. All without looking like they were working at. Naturally good people. Fast service for a 'make as you order' restaurant. Good pizza, better crust and bake goods that might just put your mom's bakeries to shame. Yes I will eat here again but if I order a chicken pizza I'll dress it up with linguica or onion and bell pepper. Maybe all three. That pizza crust will bring you back.

As far as the inside, although I picked up food, from the quick eye I had inside the restaurant looked pretty nice considering its style of fast food but with healthy options.

I recently visited Waba Grill and had a mixed experience overall. The restaurant uses computer…read moretouchscreen kiosks for placing orders, which makes the ordering process convenient and modern. However, there did not appear to be employees readily available in the front to assist customers, as most staff were working in the back kitchen preparing the food. The food preparation did take a little while, so customers should expect a bit of a wait during their visit. That being said, the food itself was very enjoyable. The portions were generous, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavor was excellent. The quality and quantity of the meals definitely stood out as the highlight of the experience. One area that could use improvement is the customer service experience. The employees did not appear very friendly or welcoming, and there was limited interaction or assistance provided to customers. While the food quality was strong, a more attentive and approachable customer service atmosphere would make the overall dining experience much better.

It was alright, slightly better than I expected, but I wasn't expecting much…read more I do think the chicken is too lean and tough, but I always think that around here, and this is definitely not the worst I've had even recently. The sauce is decent. And when you get a more tender piece and the smokiness hits, this is honestly not bad. The veggies were nicely firm as well. The white rice was a bit inconsistent. In some parts, the texture is okay. In other parts, there were weird clumps, and towards the bottom, a couple grains were too hard, like it didn't absorb enough water. Overall, still pretty trash since anyone with a rice cooker can make better white rice than this.

Inside was very cute with decor very vibrant. We had the combo plate; Birria omelet, chilaquiles, potato, with refried beans and a side French toast. My husband got the chilaquiles, corn tamale, refried beans, eggs. My son had the carne asada plate, daughter had chilaquiles plate and my 7yr old had the kids breakfast. We all enjoyed our beverages; maya Chai, Hibiscus Aqua Fresca, tropical , and OJ. We were all extremely pleased with the flavor, quality, and quantity. The order to table was timely and the waiter was attentive and accommodating and patient (I switched up my order 3x.. I had a hard time choosing) We definitely will put this on our rotating breakfast spot to enjoy after a nice Sunday Service.

At first, there's only one lady greeting customers, her name: DULCE, showing them to their tables, and taking orders, and I only saw one young man in the kitchen. So we were lucky. By 9:37 am the restaurant was full but more employees came to work here. But the food was delicious, and the service was excellent and friendly. Prices start from 16 and up. It's good to me. I enjoyed a lot. We will return.

I'll definitely be coming back regularly for more beans and next time I'm trying the actual coffee too! ‍

We came on a Sunday morning and were the only party there, and when the barista opened the 1 fridge they had it was surprisingly pretty empty. They do have a rotating seasonal menu with some fun flavors. We got: - Hot Vanilla Lavender Latte (4/5): Very noticeable lavender scent and flavor, unlike many other locations that make it more subtle. If you love lavender I would recommend! - Iced Vanilla Bean Latte w/ oat milk (4.5/5): Very solid latte that I wouldn't mind having again, but also not particularly unique. Also worth noting the oat milk they use is planet oat, which isn't my preferred choice. Overall, solid coffee spot with solid beans. I wasn't interested in any of their summer seasonal flavors, but would be down to try out other seasonal menu items next time I'm in town.
