Randomly found Val's while driving around and what a lovely little coffee stand it is! All the ladies working were a delight and helped me figure out what to get. Had a delicious peppermint mocha drink and the gluten free banana bread. Great assortment of drinks and real food as well as pastries. Has a few tables and chairs great for enjoying your drinks and food in the outdoors/sun. Street parking only. read more

Great little Brazilian outdoor coffee n snack spot in the heart of OB. The owner Val rang us up and she was so nice and friendly. I had an iced Vietnamese coffee and a coxinha (chicken) potato ball and they fried it up for me to order. Ask for the house hot sauce if you like a little kick, it was nice and spicy and delicious! Fun little patio area to kick back and enjoy our beautiful San Diego weather. read more

Went here during the OB Street Fair and Chili Cook Off because my wife was craving caffeine. There were a lot of ladies working. Always nice to support female owned and run establishments. It was busy and looks like they were making everything fresh which is awesome. Plenty of seating to hang out and pup friendly. Took a while for my wife's order, but she had one sip and said it was worth the wait. Would definitely come back to try one of their Açaí bowls. read more

The owner 'Val' is very rude! She orders supplies for her business via Instacart and is always very rude and demanding when it comes to delivering. She demands shoppers to put away items for her. She removes tips after delivery and reports items damaged or missing when they are in fact perfectly fine. As someone who has employees and they also receive tips you'd expect her to be polite and respectful but that's not the case! Terrible. read more

I know they're a local business.. but I wouldn't say it was my favorite spot by any means. There's plenty of outdoor seating and you can bring your pups.. however, service was slow and it seemed I'd you knew the employees, you were given better service. I ordered a bowl and a chicken empanada. I got my bowl within 10 minutes and it was okay - nothing to write home about or nothing crazy good or bad. I got a mermaid bowl which was blue since it had spiralina in it - picture worthy i suppose. But my empanada I had to go remind them about. When they got back to me, they microwaved a breakfast something or other. It was soggy and had eggs and potatoes in it. I didn't want to be bothersome and ate it anyway... but didn't leave a great impression. read more

Val's easily serves the best açaí in San Diego! They are currently located next to Kilowatt Brewery in OB (on Cable near Newport). Your can order their bowls in three size options 12, 16 and 20 ounces. Pictured here is a 16oz bowl. The original açaí bowl comes with blueberries, strawberries, bananas, toasted coconut, and chia seeds. It's perfection! I also tried a Vietnamese iced coffee. Strong, sweet, and delicious! The staff at Val's are also super helpful and friendly. Next time you're in Ocean Beach, do yourself a favor and support Val's! read more

Val's food truck is a gem in OB! A lot of varieties for food and drinks available. Paired with friendly service! My bf and I tried the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and Açaí bowl. Let me tell you, if you're a fan of açaí bowls, you have to come here! Their açaí bowls were made to perfection- perfect consistency, topped with LOTS of fruit (strawberries, banana, blueberries), coconut, chia seeds, granola and honey! It was refreshing on a scorching hot summer heatwave day! The Vietnamese iced coffee was strong and tasty! Theres an open patio seating area to sit down and enjoy your food. And they even have a small play area for the kids. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other menu items when I visit OB again. read more

I so badly wanted to like this place. However, the girls there seem pre-occupied with flirting with male patrons rather than doing their job. I have an egg allergy, so I asked if their croissants contained eggs. The woman at the stand gave me a blank stare. When I asked her to look at the ingredients, she looked at me like I insulted her mother and could not provide an answer. As someone with both food allergies and a decade in the service industry, that is completely unacceptable behavior. Seems like I'll be sticking to Villi's and Cafe Bella. I love supporting businesses in my neighborhood, but I'll never be back to Val's read more

Yesterday I skipped breakfast and for lunch I was craving a green smoothie drink and had just remembered Val's Coffee Corner had a great looking Green Bowl that I've been wanting to try. So instead of a drink I stopped Val's and grabbed their amazing Green Bowl of kale, spinach, mango, pineapples & bananas blended with almond milk and topped with fresh bananas, blueberries, avocado, goji berries, pecans, chia seeds & honey. From the moment this vibrant Green Bowl was set before me, I knew I was in for something special. Wow! The blended ingredients in were the perfect base for the toppings that truly elevated this bowl into a symphony of flavors and textures. It was the perfect brain food that I was needing. By the time I reached the bottom, I honestly felt a genuine sense of happiness--a mood boost that lasted long after the last spoonful was gone. If you're looking for the perfect blend of health, taste, and happiness, this bowl is it. read more

I am extremely disappointed with the service at your Mission Blvd Starbucks in San Diego…read more I requested a simple modification--cold foam made with nonfat milk and vanilla due to dietary restrictions. Instead of attempting to help, I was repeatedly told "we can't do that," with no explanation and zero effort to offer a solution. Mind you, I go to Starbucks 2 times a day, and as you can the receipt shows everyone has no issues but this store. What made this worse was the employee's attitude--smirking and appearing amused rather than providing basic customer service. This was not a request for anything free. It was a reasonable, paid customization that other Starbucks locations have accommodated without issue. Because of this interaction, my husband and I chose not to purchase anything and left feeling disrespected--on the first day of our 30th wedding anniversary. This level of service is unacceptable and not what your brand represents. I expect this to be addressed.

Best service with a smile and best Acai Bowls in San Diego. Val's is a great little coffee kiosk where you can sit and watch people hit the beach since is located a couple of blocks from the ocean in Ocean Beach and on the Main Street Newport avenue. read more
