The food has that made-from-scratch feel to it, and is always fresh and high quality. I've had breakfast and lunch here and haven't left a crumb behind either time. I loved the waffle with berries for breakfast, and the veggie sandwich at lunch time. I also LOVED the drink menu-- had the best matcha latte with housemade syrup (passionfruit I think?) and a really delicious old fashioned caramel latte. Some people might consider the downside of a place like this to be the small kitchen, as it can impact wait times and the kitchen's ability to accommodate specific requests. However!! I think this just makes the experience more special-- having to slow down and savor a dining experience instead of rushing from place to place is truly a treat. Although not always speedy necessarily, I've had amazing service every time I've visited here. On one occasion we had longer wait times for our food and were treated with a delicious cake at the end of our meal. On another, we had a very minor snafu happen where a server was adjusting an umbrella and accidentally knocked something over on the table next to us-- the staff comped all of our meals out of consideration which was just so generous and understanding. Overall I can't recommend this place enough! They have so many fun menus and specials. I can't wait to try their Peasant night in a few weeks. Grateful to have this spot in the neighborhood!

It actually is a very small cafe, so expect a bit of waiting, especially for peak dining times and weekends. There is seating both indoors and outdoors, and I chose to sit indoors. I was interested in their coffee menu, since they seemed to take craft in some of their creations. I enjoyed their Strawberry Cold Brew. It was light and sweet from the foam on top and had a nice balance of brew and strawberry flavor. For food, we kept it all veggie with their Black Bean Tacos and a Superfood bowl. It wasn't our first choice, though, as all of our selections were sold out for the afternoon. The food was bright and colorful, but did take a little longer to prepare. My bowl had plenty of red bell peppers and onions, which I did eventually get tired of eating. I loved the crispy kale and wish they included more of it or some seeds on top for more crunch! That day they were out of stock on everything we wanted, so I will have to give it another go if I ever get the chance to revisit. Overall, the service was very kind from the ladies and the coffee is notable!

We stood there patiently whole overhearing a whole conversation between two workers who had more time to converse with each other, than to see what was going on in the front of their establishment. Just chatting with each other and not a care in the world that there were two very excited people up front waiting to see what they had to offer as first time customers. Sadly, they had nothing to offer except awkward stares and silence when he arrived to the front. We never even heard a hello. Just stared quietly without saying anything. So sad to see how we, as the melanated community will be treated coming to this place. We drove about 2 hours for this and were highly disappointed by the way we felt othered by them. I wouldn't recommend coming here with your family or loved ones. Sadly that trip was a huge waste of time. If I could give zero stars I would have. There is no PEACE in your PIES.

My friend grabbed a cold Italian sub and that was also pretty tasty, but you really can't beat a hot juicy sandwich in my opinion. Lots of side options as well, if you're looking for something quick on the go. Super convenient that the deli is located in a market where I can grab any random food items I might need for the week ahead :)

I've passed by Chicken Over Rice numerous times and never thought much of this unassuming shop with…read morea simple menu. But, I'd started to hear about it and didn't realize this storefront was once a OB Farmers Market staple! They've got one thing on the menu. You guessed it, Chicken Over Rice. You choose your base of rice, greens or pita. They have spicy or regular chickpeas and chicken. Then, you pick your toppings like pickled onions, pepperoncinis, lettuce and sauces. Simple but super flavorful! Everything is well seasoned and it's got that nice dankness to the bowl, while still remaining refreshing. The bowl runs around $17 so not cheap, but given how large the portion is, it's a good deal. Can easily make for about 1.5 meals!

The overall cuisine is closer to Mediterranean not so much Mexican flavors. They are a no frills shop as they only offer chicken in 3 different flavors. The food itself tastes great, very fresh and clean ingredients. Overall, a satisfying and healthy meal for me. Street parking is abundant and they have seating inside. I'll have to knock down the rating 1 star just because compared to CAVA and chipotle the options here are quite limited (chicken being the only protein) which is completely fine if you just want chicken. Also I think $17 is quite the hefty price for one bowl HOWEVER, they do really give bigger portions here so at least that makes me feel better about spending almost $20 on a bowl. This is located in Ocean beach, a neighborhood in San Diego that doesn't have too many options so this will be the best next thing to getting chipotle and cava. I think if I lived here I would come quite often but not worth it in my opinion to drive all the way here.

The store carries products from some of my favorite local vendors that I usually only find at the farmers market, along with a great selection of unique drinks and specialty items. One of the highlights was trying the banana water, which was marked as an employee favorite, and now I can see why. Truly taste like a banana, very interesting. The store was well organized, fully stocked, and easy to browse. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. While some items are a bit pricier than what you'd find at a traditional grocery store, the quality and clean ingredients make it well worth the cost. It's a great place to discover healthier options and support local brands at the same time. They also offer a membership for just $15 per year, which seems like a great value if you plan to shop there regularly. I'll definitely be stopping by again!

They also have pour your own maple syrup and honey. You can also make your own peanut butter and almond butter! Really cool, first time I've seen that! The store also offers a variety of fruits and vegetables and other produce items. We only explored the first floor I would want to go check out the second floor next time. We signed up as members the same day so I will definitely be returning!

Walking up with my…read moredaughter and my doodle , we asked if there was room on their patio and there was a lovely table with umbrella on the corner. It had turf underneath all tables along the street side and was shaded well for both hoomans and dog! The server quickly wiped the table and was friendly in asking about drinks , while we immersed in the menu - much inspired by New Zealand. She was great the entire time we were there. She came by just enough to check in to get the "nodding yes with our our heads as mouths full " affirmation she needed that all was well. So- I had the Blazin' Ahi and it was absolutely delicious! The ahi , a fave of mine anyway but with the seared with panko covering it and the wasabi mayo and peas and cucumbers? Chef's kiss! Will go next time we are there in late summer and highly recommend!

M. ordered the Wagyu burger with matchstick fries & I got the New Zealand Classic breakfast with chicken sausage. Waters were brought out quickly for us, including Cali. I later ordered a mimosa & it came out quickly as well. There's a special on mimosas on Saturday & Sunday from 10-2. They start at $1 at 10am and the price goes up incrementally until 2pm when they're $9. (My mimosa was $6.) The food took a bit longer, about twenty minutes, to be delivered. I liked my breakfast very much. Everything was tasty & I enjoyed having little bits of different things to nosh on. M. said his burger was very good, he only wished that it was a bit bigger for the price. Service was fine & friendly. Overall, this was a pleasant experience. Great people watching and great weather helped to enhance this brunch even more. Peace.
