Great place to get a snack and delicious and great service. I got the mix cup and best one I've had ever! The place is very clean and spotless

Rachel U.

I came in this morning excited to get a smoothie, I was 20 mins early but saw that their window hours say "NEW HOURS: open at 10:30AM." I was disappointed to see that no one was there by 10:35AM. Today's July 5th and there was no mention of their hours changed on the window for that. Also, on Google it says 10:30AM too. I just check Yelp, and it says 11AM. I would recommend being consistent on all ends if there's an hour change, especially for a holiday, etc. Unfortunately, I had to leave after waiting. I'll be back but was sad I couldn't get the smoothie this morning.

Yummy when you feel the lack of vitamin c and want something sweet! Loved the chamango! The acai bowl was good too.

Wow! What a beautiful hidden gem in San Diego . Incredibly friendly staff . Super clean Most importantly super fresh juices and delicious smoothies . My friends are in love with their Green Giant Smoothie & Crazy Banana ( basically a peanut butter ice cream) I got green #2 and it's super refreshing and incredibly energizing! Açaí & Pitaya bowls are also available! Defo coming here every time if I'm in the area! Always support local small business and especially the ones who are doing good for the community .

"Bee Sweet" bowl supposedly, but missing the yogurt. Not worth it IMO.

Hubby David and I were delighted to find this place in San Diego's East County. Hoping they open one in La Mesa, too!!! Based on a plant-based eating friend's recommendation, we went to Natural Delights in Rancho San Diego! I will post pictures of beautiful sisters/owners Alondra and Sonia and their teammates Alissa and Bryant (Rico). David had the Delight Wrap, our friend Donna had the Panini, and I had the Organic Açaí. Delicious--and reasonable prices, too! :) So great that we have this gem in East County! read more

Thank you Yelp! While doing a three day detox cleanse, I found myself in unfamiliar territory and Yelp came to the rescue. After searching quinoa, Natural Delights popped up and boy am I glad I found it. I had an amazing quinoa, cucumber, tomato salad and the best watermelon refresher drink with lime and cucumber and mint! I hope I find myself in this area town often. There were so many things on the menu I wanted to try. read more

Decided to try this place today. Ordered the Mango-Pine smoothie. The store was very bright and clean, trendy music playing and very friendly staff. I ordered the large size for $6.50. After the first sip I was pleasantly surprised at how bright the flavor was. You can really taste the flavors of the fruit and I love that they use freshly squeezed orange juice. This smoothie was very sweet, but not overboard; very balanced. I would absolutely recommend you try this place! Can't wait to try the açaí bowl next! read more

Located in the Smart and Final shopping plaza, this juice bar has become my new "go-to" for a quick and healthful dish. The service amongst ALL of the staff was quite notable; hence why I am writing a review, something I never do. For lunch, I decided to try one of there more popular dishes, the veggie panini, which consists of avocado, spinach, tomato, onion, pesto, and lightly melted Swiss cheese. Now, I'm not much of a panini person, but this dish could not have been crafted any better. Bravo Natural Delights, you've got a customer for life.

Food and juices are great. The only reason I am giving four stars is because every time I go employees stop taking orders 30 or even 40 minutes prior of closing. I really love this place but it is really annoying getting there 40 or 30 minutes before closing and they are already cleaning and refusing to take your order.

This is such a hidden gem in east county. It's a direction I would like to see our community go by being vegan, clean, and healthy. I have been coming to natural delights for a while and the food is always great and well prepared. It is always very clean inside and the staff is very hospitable and kind. The one thing I'd say is it is a bit overpriced but it's a great healthy indulgence from time to time. There's still a lot I want to try on their menu but I will say their beyond meat is delicious!

Using the street address I was taken to Grossmont Center. The signage indicates this place is called BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries. I was feeling lucky today. So I ordered my fried fish with onion rings and paid $1 upcharge. The problem with onion rings is they range from not good to great. With fries they are usually fine. White fish was fried in a tempura batter infused with herbs. White fish had a mild flavor and was nice and moist. Batter was crunchy. Onion rings were mostly crunchy except the batter was too thick so some parts of the batter were not transformed by the frying process into crunchy goodness. I didn't like the flavor of the herbs in the batter which distracted from the fried onion flavor. Service from the guy in charge was friendly and efficient. My combo was $12.99 which is a great deal. I'd order the fish again but not the onion rings. Doing further research I found they are also listed on Yelp as BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries. So that's the story on my lunch adventure.

I get it every single time im here. I'd also recommend the Mexican iced chocolate latte. It's also strong yet sweetened to perfection. The service here is always good and the employees always greet you. I like to come here to study and just sit outside to take in the morning air. I love the view of cowles mountain as well. It's a great spot if you wanna study, they have free wifi if you purchase something so that's a plus. I recommend trying the cinnamon roll latte!

I like the roasting profile they use, and for a while, they've stocked a Costa Rica Sonora Black-Honey Natural that is just fantastic. Joe Paraiso, the owner, is a very experienced coffee purveyor, and he's been incredibly kind to me, sharing his time and knowledge to make sure I get what I want. And, not for nothing, when I'm at Brew Coffee Spot picking up the beans I ordered online, I always have a coffee. Joe either does a great job of training his baristas, or he's REALLY good at hiring talent, or both. Seriously... his folks make my coffees, usually a cortado or a straight espresso, with a downtown San Francisco or Rome level of competence.

I searched up best coffee in La Mesa, picked the first recommended place, and am happy I did so…read more I just moved to San Diego from San Francisco and found myself in La Mesa applying for jobs. I needed a quick coffee to end my day and after searching the best coffee in La Mesa, Red White and Badass Brew was the first to pop up. The owner was super nice-I didn't get his name-and he walked with me through the menu as I haven't had specialty coffee drinks like these before. I went with his recommendation of the whiskey latte (iced) and also decided to try the toasted tan lines (iced) When I tell you, my first sip transported me back to the 2013-2016 era of coffee culture when specialty drinks were first starting to get popular, I am being so serious. Both the whiskey latte and toasted tan lines were full of so much flavor. The toasted tan lines took me straight back to my trip to Kauai in 2013 and the whiskey latte was reminiscent of a latte I would get in middle school from a Brazilian small business. There was just something so nostalgic about these lattes that I had to immediately write a review. So many coffee shops lack the flavor of the 2010s before companies cut corners and scraped for our pennies, but not here Thanks for the coffee! (No pics because I inhaled them in like 5 mins on my drive home)

Unfortunately there isn't an online order line so you end up waiting anyways and they made our drinks only after we arrived and told them we had the online order. That being said everyone working was really friendly and they were working hard as it was busy on Sunday around 8. I got the gone bananas half sweet and an extra shot. My partner got the horchata matcha with extra matcha. Even my drink at half sweet was too sweet for my taste but still enjoyable. Not a strong banana flavor though. More caramel forward. My partner loved his drink but did say it was more horchata than matcha.

I planned on getting a sandwich but I saw this place and decided to look at some of their items which all look delicious plus the reviews are great. I just got an açaí bowl and it was one of the best i've had, i'm not going to lie it's hard to find a good açaí bowl so i was very pleased with my purchase. Not only was it great but the lady at the counter was very very nice to me, good service is also hard to find so i really appreciate it. The inside was really nice, it was bright and vibrant. Overall everything was great! read more

If you're craving mariscos at home and don't want to leave your bed, El Rinconcito might be…read moreconvenient, but flavor wise it didn't fully hit for me. This place is known for their mariscos style dishes, aguachiles, aguas frescas, and snack style items that lean refreshing and citrus heavy. This review is based on a delivery order through a third party service. I ordered an x-large mango agua fresca, an order of their aguachile verde, and a bag of salsa verde Tostitos. Unlike other reviews I've seen, I got everything I ordered. Everything was packaged with so much care too. Multiple bags to make sure nothing spills, utensils, straws, napkins, everything included. It really doesn't get better than this when it comes to delivery. The customization on the aguachile let me go a little wild so I added mango and extra camarones. I thought the mango would come in the same container but it was packaged separately in a bag. The quantity actually surprised me. I was expecting maybe a few pieces but it looked like almost a whole mango. The portion of aguachile itself felt a little small for the price, especially after paying extra for shrimp, but still okay. It came with onions and cucumbers but barely any avocado, maybe like three pieces. The flavor of the aguachile was not what I expected though. It wasn't very limey or spicy, it leaned really mild and didn't hit that craving. Most of the shrimp tasted fresh but a few had that fishy taste which kind of threw me off and ruined the experience a bit. The mango though, super fresh and really sweet. Now the mango agua fresca was incredibly sweet, like way too sweet. Even after letting the ice melt a bit it still tasted like straight sugar water and I had to add more water myself just to make it drinkable. I did like that it had real mango pieces and tasted fresh, but I want something light and refreshing, not something that feels like three cups of sugar. Overall, I really appreciated how well everything was packaged and delivered because that honestly makes a huge difference. I'd maybe give it another shot in person, but based on this delivery experience it was a little inconsistent

Options for everyone that you would expect from a brunch/lunch place. I got the green omelette with a cottage cheese side (+$1). The food came out quickly. The portion was huge which is nice considering I felt like the price was pretty high for a counter service place. Definitely was able to split my food over two meals. The omelette was filled with veggies (spinach, asparagus, etc.) and it came topped with half an avocado. Good flavor that was definitely helped by the salty feta. Overall pretty enjoyable but nothing standout.

The sign at the register clearly states that the fee applies to both debit and credit card transactions. I personally work in the credit card processing industry, so I'm familiar with payment processing rules. Based on my knowledge, merchants are not permitted to impose a surcharge on debit card transactions, which is why this immediately stood out to me. I brought it to their attention, but the policy remains in place. Because of this, I will be reporting the debit card surcharge to the appropriate agencies and payment network, and I will also be contacting my bank to dispute the charge. I'm posting this review so other customers are aware. If you plan to pay with a debit card, be prepared for an additional $0.75 fee, or bring cash if you want to avoid it. I hope the restaurant reviews and corrects this policy In California Debit card surcharges are prohibited under federal law (the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and implementing regulations), regardless of whether the debit card is run with a PIN or as "credit."

The service was amazing and the guy who helped me was awesome !! Very helpful and nice! Now let's get to the boba.... Matcha "smoothie"- came with an open lid so I wasn't able to shake up the warm boba at the bottom, shortly after getting home from the Boba Tea Spot I noticed the slush in my drink was completely separated from the flavoring they used which has never happen to me. (Shown in picture) wasn't able to enjoy it any longer. Half the drink was wasted. The tapioca boba was also a little off tasting, almost like a plastic taste. We also ordered the Taro milk tea and that was absolutely delicious aside from the boba taste. It wasn't too sweet so it hit just right! This is a small but yet pretty new spot so I'm hoping this review isn't taken personally but just as a true customers experience! As I stated in the very first sentence, I really want to like this place so I will definitely be coming back to give them another chance in hopes this new place works out its kinks and I can give them 5 stars!!
