I was really craving an açaí bowl on a hot day and came across this spot. It's a small place with a…read morefew indoor seats (no tables) and some outdoor tables. Inside, there's a narrow bar-style counter that's fine for a drink, but not really practical for a laptop, so it's not the best setup for studying or working unless you sit outside. I ordered the tropical bowl, and while it was definitely delicious, it felt a bit overpriced. Another downside was how it was served, the portion size was decent, but the bowl itself was quite small, making it hard to dig in without spilling granola or coconut flakes. It made the whole experience a little inconvenient. Overall, I'm a bit on the fence. Part of me wants to come back and give it another try, but I'm not completely convinced yet.

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

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.

There's plenty of seating both inside and out, with a shaded outdoor area that's perfect for relaxing. The little parking lot is a nice bonus, especially in a beach town. I ordered the açaí bowl and it definitely didn't disappoint--packed with fresh fruit, coconut, and a drizzle of honey. The only downside was that the smoothie base was a bit too frozen, almost like it had been pre-made and stored in the freezer. I personally prefer it freshly blended and creamier so it's easier to scoop with the fruit. That said, the flavor was great, and I could honestly eat it every day. Prices reflect the freshness and quality, and I'd happily come back again.

They use apple juice as the base liquid and I'm not a fan of that as you always taste it and it messes with the flavor. And it was a little bit thinner than my preference.

As a liquor store though, they have everything imaginable and a little Beer Cave in the back for cooled drinks. Staff were friendly and drinks were out pretty quickly.

But the problem isn't the atmosphere or staff for me, it was the coffee and pricing. I got a dirty chai with added oat milk. The extra charge for oat milk was $1.65, which is steep.

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

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.
