    Nice spot to enjoy a coffee or smoothie while sitting outside! There are also empanadas, bagels, and acai bowls to choose from to go with your drink.

    Beat Açaí bowl I have had in SD... and closest to my first one in Brazil many years ago. Great freshly made breads... by the owner herself. Service by a team cares and adds a taste of Brazil in the entire experience!

    Just a great local place. Beverages are outstanding. The açaí bowls are amazing -but huge. The breakfast bagel was okay. The cheese was oily and it was a lot. Overall though a great place to hang.

    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.

    What a great place. Delicious, fresh, healthy acai. Dog friendly. Friendly staff too.

    Açaí bowl

    Highly recommend the açaí bowl and chicken empanada. Small size was a good single portion and they give you so many toppings on the açaí bowl. Make sure to ask for their hot sauce for the empanada.

    I love this place, food and coffe! The service is great!! The vibe and the ambience are super cool, I highly recommend it!!

    Came here for an iced coffee which was nice and strong. I enjoyed the flavor. I would have wanted to try more from their menu such as a smoothie, açaí bowls, bagel, or empanadas - next time! This is a spot good for grabbing and going, while they do have a few tables with chairs to sit and enjoy your food or beverage there. Its a cute little shack where the people are friendly.

    Stopped by and got a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich. Our food was fine, nothing especially tasty but definitely not bad. If I were to come back, I'd stick with smoothies/smoothie bowls. Good vibes!

    Mermaid bowl

    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.

    Great service!

    Anna made me a delicious smoothie today! Highly recommend this place! Always good vibes!

    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'm a hater, I hate to admit it but I love un influencing these instagram/tik tok famous places. So…read moreoften they end up being a trend based on good marketing tactics which is amazing but good marketing doesn't mean good flavor and good service. In this case yes the bowl was OK was but was no better than the 3 other bowl places within a mile of this location. The wait was LONG as for many of the bowl places on this street but this one was extra long as in 45 minutes to an hour wait on off hours long. And of course with all these tik tok famous places the price was inflated. Based on taste alone I could have given this place 4 starts but the extra tik tok tax(inflated price just for being TikTok trendy) and extra wait time for the exact same thing you can get anywhere else rubbed me wrong so I'm going to have to leave this 3 star right here.

Waited for about 5 minutes and was greeted by a gentleman who took my order I got a decaf, dirty, iced vanilla chai. It was good but not a lot of chai flavor. Not overly sweet which is good I also ordered the ham and cheese stuffed croissant. I think they just warm it up. And I think it was overdone. The cheese had come out and was burnt, which is OK cause I like burnt cheese. But the end of the croissant was hard and edible. Overall it's a great option if you're local and looking for a cafe that's walkable with lots of seating. But I wouldn't go through the effort of finding parking to visit. To the business owner: I have a handicap placard that was clearly visible in my windshield. But I'm happy that you showed other customers who are as a business owner and why they should not frequent your business. As you can see from my picture the croissant was not edible. Address that instead of worrying about the parking and making false claims online. Thanks

They had plenty of seats but limited parking on the streets and some reserved parking on the sidewalk. The Cafe isnt in the building, its on the north side of the building where the parking is. I got the Ocean bowl for my wife and a couple of others to try and they enjoyed it. The fruits were fresh and all the flavors meshed pretty well. Definitely recommend on a hot day. The seating area also has shade if you need to cool off for a bit.

Retro vibes, free arcade games, and an atmosphere that feels more like a hangout than a restaurant, in a good way. Extra credit for actually letting you play the games instead of just using them as decor. I was not very hungry, so I went with the Arctik Monkey smoothie with peanut butter and chocolate. Straight up delicious and absolutely something I would order again without hesitation. My wife ordered the Feta y Verdes veggie wrap, and even she was surprised by how good it was, which says a lot because she knows her veggies. Fresh, flavorful, and genuinely satisfying. Veggie lovers, consider this your official heads up. The arcade lineup is solid too. Pac Man, Mortal Kombat II, The Simpsons, a classic Star Wars Atari cabinet, plus others. Waiting for food did not feel like waiting. It felt like killing time in the best possible way. One quick warning. The hip hop playlist is not radio edited. Totally fine for adults, but if you are bringing kids, just know you might be explaining some lyrics on the drive home. Overall, fun spot, good food, strong throwback energy. I would definitely come back.
