I would give 10 stars if I could. This is not just a job for these guys. It's their craft and they put their heart and soul into it. Their food is delicious because they put time and detail into it. I was truly amazed. They went above and beyond our expectations. It's a beautiful little shop with lots of great vibes. I highly recommend it! read more

Natural Delights Juice Bar is a hidden gem of a restaurant - a walk-up counter type place that serves some of the most exceptional açaí bowls I have ever tasted. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the texture was smooth and creamy, and each bowl was generously topped with fresh fruits and nuts. However, despite my enthusiasm for the food, I must acknowledge that the restaurant's operational hours left something to be desired. Unfortunately, the restaurant's schedule is unpredictable, which makes it challenging to plan a return visit. As a passionate fan of their food, I would love to recommend this restaurant to others, but the inconsistency of its hours makes it a difficult proposition. I found myself having to call ahead several times to ensure that the restaurant was open and even then, I couldn't be entirely sure. Last night I we stopped in to ask their hours for the following morning. We were told 9a-9p and this morning we were disappointed again to find it was in fact not open. We keep trying every time we are in town but it has become a recurring joke amongst our family. To the owners of this fantastic establishment, I urge you to consider establishing more regular hours of operation to make it easier for customers to enjoy your delicious creations. I have no doubt that, with such incredible açaí bowls on offer, this restaurant could become a must-visit destination for foodies in the area. read more

Love going here for their smoothies and açaí bowls! Mariana is the sweetest and was super quick with my orders, I was in and out within 5 mins. 10/10 would recommend, will def be going back soon read more

Good stuff, good service, animal friendly, and healthy option out of the unhealthy options near that area.

this place is trash fruit was HARD and not ripe my sister order came a to go box full of can corn wth ‍ disgusting

Ok so it took two years to come in and try it out, mainly because I thought it was just another frozen yogurt place. Boy was I wrong. My wife and I came in on a very hot day and wanted to try out the açaí bowls. The young ladies behind the counter were very friendly and helpful. One came with a generous sample of mango smoothie. Very good. Our açaí bowls were the best we've had and have tried quite a few. My wife said "this is a lot better then I thought." So sorry it took us so long. They have a lot of other healthy food to offer. We will be A few months ago we were here and a young guy working had a Pandora station playing. It was nice to sit, eat and visit. Lately I think the older guy who is here all the time picks the music and volume. Hard to visit and no variety of music. Remember, the eating experience is for your customer. read more

My only complaint is why don't you stay open later?! Their Protein Panini is amazing and feels like a superfood boost every time I eat one. Their green juices are delicious, staff is always cool and nice. I love this place and consider it the beer food in Rancho San Diego hands down read more

I love the protein panini. I wish they had better hours but overall delicious and nutritious

I used to love this place!! But the last three times I've visited this establishment they have been closed at sporadic times. Two of which they even had tables and chairs, and their sign out as if they are open. I now give my business to Fruity Loco in Casa De Oro, which I highly recommend. read more

+ Great juice and smoothie options. Not a huge amount to choose from but I was happy with my choice (mango/pineapple). It was delicious. + Large menu of healthy food items (paninis and salads) although I didn't try any this time. + Friendly staff. + Cozy interior with some available seating. + Large parking lot. - Service was a little bit slow. read more

This place has absolutely never disappointed!! I love their food and drinks in general. You can't really go wrong in my opinion. They are quality. I usually get the protein panini and the green giant and i am so satisfied after. They are extremely nice and polite. They are priced right as well. read more

I hope these empanadas become part of the menu !! So good. Lots of vegan options which is amazing. East county needs more places like this. I will be back to support read more

UPDATE: Natural Delights is now fully VEGAN and I couldn't be more excited. The first spot in east county to jump on the plant based train. Thank You Natural Delights Got the veggie panini and green giant smoothie both were great. The place is really clean and reasonably priced. I will definitely be back to try some other options. read more

There menu online is completely different from the location. They have vegan options online but you go in there and there's no vegan option, came here about a year ago and they still had vegan options. I'm assuming there's been a change in management, please update to show current menu and not advertise as vegan options. read more

Every time I'm craving a smoothie, I usually come to this spot after I'm done with the gym. Their smoothies are delicious and service is quick. The smoothies are a little pricey if you want to add a protein shot to it. I only get smoothies with a protein shot here. Total usually comes out to $9.00, if you order a large. I wish they would already have some protein smoothies offered to lower the cost. Since it is so expensive for that option, I typically only come here when I'm ravenous and need something quick after the gym. Despite the price of the smoothie I get, this place is still an awesome spot to check out. Great spot to hang out at as well, this place is really clean! read more

Delicious fresh garden of love. Nice family owned healthy living inspired buisness. Green giant with kale my fav read more

Change of business ownership .. it is now Fruity Loco. Good customer service and longer store hours.

Açai blow and vegan sandwich are the two things I always order. Love the taste, portions, and freshness. But if you are gonna order food, make sure you order earlier, they do tent to have a long wait. read more

After experiencing Natural Delights Juice Bar, I had to write a review. The food and juices are always amazing. Their juices and sandwiches are always tasty and super fresh. One of my favorites is the Acai bowl. However, every time I go in I am 100% satisfied. Not only is the food and drinks amazing, the employees who work there are so kind and welcoming with a positive and upbeat vibe. I live in the neighborhood up the street and I'm so glad this establishment is here. This is exactly what our neighborhood needed. Thanks for all the great service!! read more

For all the açaí bowls I've tried, this is an alright one! The texture is like sorbet, thick ice cream kind of texture which is different from the other ones I've tried which was more of a thick smoothie kind of texture. I recommend for blueberries to be added, I enjoyed this for breakfast! read more

5 stars when they are open and it matches the store hours. Really like the Acai bowls

Acai smoothie was amazing! Thanks for being so accomodating to my special needs family and for being so kind! Can't wait to come back!!

Great juices, salad. I'm looking forward to trying more things on the menu. Corn Cup and Quinoa Salad were delicious

I was a bit bummed because there was no kiwi in my acai bowl despite being listed on the menu. The bowl was still very good though. Service was also very friendly and welcoming and the place was clean. They gave me 15% of for it being my first time in. Nice addition to the area. read more

My family have been eating snacks and drinking smoothies here since it first opened a few years back. The panini is so deliciously seasoned my husband thought it was meat until I told him the truth. The smoothies are banging. read more

Love this place! My son and I always have a smoothie after school, for a special, healthy, sweet treat.

My husband, three children and I visited this place on March 14-2020 @ around 2 pm. My daughter and I went to the bathroom to wash our hands and other necessities, but to my surprise the soap container was empty and the toilet paper was also out. When I mentioned that to the store manager, instead of being appreciative of the information I passed along, she said...... I'm aware that we don't have hand soap, toilet paper or hand sanitizer for our customers, just don't care enough for the safety of them!! She didn't use those words but the fact that she knew about the emptiness in the bathroom made me realize that she didn't care enough to take care of that little detail specially nowadays with the pandemic of COVID-19!!!!! read more

Words can't explain how much I love the protein panini & the mango pineapple smoothie! They literally make the panini to perfection, and it's with Beyond Meat so I'm just glad that they have this option. Restaurants with plant-based meat deserve the recognition! I'm going to be honest, I'm not vegetarian but I love plant-based meat. I recommend that everyone should cut meat from their diet at least ONE day of the week, and that will improve your health as well as the health of the planet. (Search Meatless Mondays!) However, only reason I'm not vegetarian is because I WISH every restaurant had the option for plant-based meat so thank you so much Natural Delights for being one of the few spots with this option. Btw if the staff is reading, please keep putting the pepperoncini on the side because I love the juices from it on my panini (there were maybe 2 instances where it wasn't there) Lol. The smoothies are perfectly blended. Way better than some overloaded & overpriced sh** from Jamba Juice. Hope to see more locations opening one day read more

First time here and I had such a great experience. Not only were the staff friendly, but so were the customers! Tajin bowl had a good amount of tajin, they didnt try to sell me short. Smoothie was great perfectly blended and had enough flavor. Also had an acai bowl for the first time, AMAZING! I'm not sure if they usually come with peanut butter, but that was the cherry on top! I'll be back! The price is okay, fruits always going to be pricey regardless of where you go. read more

Update!! They are now currently Plant-Based food only. Everything I've tried here is delicious. read more

This is probably my favorite post work-out meal place. High protein low calories. Being a place that doesn't serve meat I was skeptical, but after trying this place I was blown out by the Variety of different delicious sandwiches, fruit bowls , smoothies and healthy shots. That's not it, we all know a business starts with customer service. The customer service here is outstanding and definitely encouraging to come back. From me to the staff Thank you all. read more

Love their acai bowls here. Also, love the music they play! Wish they wouldn't close so early though. Definitely coming back

This family owned spot is amazing. I'm ADDICTED!!!! I absolutely love this place! So much that I go everyday after my gym sesh at 24 hr fitness. The food is made fresh. Everything is vegan friendly but most importantly delicious. My daily go-to is the Gourmet sandwich. #itslife and the honey bee fruit salad. This family is is the sweetest customer service is always great! A MILLION STARS read more

The green juices are good. 2 of my favorite food would be acai bowl and the cauliflower ceviche. Those 2 are very good.

Great stuff! Acai bowl has way too much acai and not enough fruit or toppings wish the would balance it out more but overall its good:) But I asked for more and they added more toppings for free so sweet! read more

We're plant-based eaters and Natural Delights is our local standby. We can always count on them for a delicious plant-based meal and friendly staff. We've taken many friends there with us across the years. read more

I'm obsessed!!! My only issue is they need better hours. They are closed the whole week of thanksgiving?!?! Closed on sundays?!?! Just please hire more people and be open later and full weekends. Honestly, I frequent the area for other stops in the shopping center and so many people pull up and try to go in after 5 and on sundays, only to walk away sad you're closed. I'm just bitter because I want this place open ALL the time! Seriously it's that good. Açaí bowl- AMAZING! SoyRizo Wrap- PHENOMENAL! read more

This place is delicious. I'm not a full vegan but whenever I want to eat clean or I am choosing to eat more plants based yet I don't want to cook... I come straight here. The Protein Panini is delicious along with the Gourmet Panini as well. Omg! Their chipotle sauce is yummy too. I usually call in my order & pick it up. Totally worth it. read more

This place is sooo good if you are looking for a small little sandwich to an amazing smoothie. Their green giant is my personal favorite I get it all the time I go there. read more

We come here all the time for juice and açaí bowls! You see them juicing everything behind the counter so you know they are not adding stuff you don't want in there. They are very efficient and friendly always and have never had a bad experience there. Only thing is I wish they had longer hours but other than that I'm a big fan!! read more
