As soon as I walked in the doors, it was decorated so cute. Very colorful, vibrant, and designed to impress. I also noticed they take pride in keeping their little coffee shop clean. I noticed the menu is extensive and impressive. So, if you are needing a new coffee shop to try, hang out, or simply to replace Starbucks, here they are! The coffee was high quality, smooth, and loaded with flavor. I wanted to give a special shout out to Sandi and Daniel because they told me it was a family-run business. They were friendly, professional, and hospitable to me. I loved the personal connection I felt which made me feel right at home. It is located in Spring Valley on Campo Road tucked away. They are a hidden gem that must be experienced. I need to come back with my appetite because they have it all here. Thank you Sandi and Daniel for giving the small-town friendly coffee experience that is rare to experience in a big city.

On my last visit, I went a little off-menu and ordered a chile verde omelette. I already knew their chile verde was legit from past visits, so I had them add it in--and wow...absolute flavor bomb. Tender, rich, and perfectly balanced with the eggs. One of those simple upgrades that turns a solid breakfast into something memorable. The potatoes were crisp, the toast was on point, and everything came out hot and fresh. You can tell they take pride in what they're putting out. If you're in the area and want a reliable, no-nonsense breakfast spot with great flavors, this is it.

The hubby's burger was HUGE. We were told that it was very popular. I decided on the Philly cheesesteak. It was smaller than I'm used to. However, it was full of flavor. Great service & vibes. * Starvin Marvin Burger w/ Fries * Philly Cheesesteak w/ Potato Salad #DiningWithTheAndersons #Foodies #TryingNewPlaces #SunriseDeliSD #YummyGoodness

The Pizza is VERY tasty. I've been going to a nearby pizza place for years and i gave this place a…read moretry tonight. Tops it 100%. Prices and VERY good too In my opinion. I will say I was expecting the garlic bread to be knotted or something because of the picture on the brochures so getting what we got was a little bit of a let down. And the garlic bread was soggy by the time we got home. So just be aware of that if you're taking home. The pizza has a Smokey flavor and garlic after taste it's honestly delicious! Service was very friendly and inviting when I walked in. I told them I was coming back later and they were super cool and gave me a brochure. The restaurant looks very cool, and i like the artwork inside. Go check it out!!!

So it's a perfect place to pick up food for home. When I went in I talked to the staff and they recommended the : crime scene pizza. One of their best sellers. This is the perfect to get your New York style pizza craving on. It is so good! I can't wait to come back and try the subs and wings.

When you see the entire store front packed with City Workers enjoying their meals...IT'S A MUST TO STOP AND TRY THEIR FOOD! That speaks volume in itself! I just love "MOM AND POP" locations! I believe this shop is a mother and son ran operation and they are an amazing duo dishing out amazing subs for reasonable prices! Watch out other sandwich chains out there cause Grove Grinder IS WHERE IT'S AT!!!! They have been in business since 1972...NUFF SAID! I ordered the Ann Special with everything on it. They do not skimp on meat and the proportion of bread to meat to veggie ratio is spot on! A full size sandwich is enough to feed two people easily or one very hungry person. I did not try any of their side items or large selection of root beer drink options to choose from but, I will be back many more times to try all they offer! Thank you Grove Grinder for amazing eats and allowing me to snap all my photos of your small shop for my review! If in Lemon Grove, show some love to Grove Grinder and grab you one of their amazing affordable, delicious subs...YOUR WELCOME IN ADVANCE!

Holy Moly that place is BOMB! Soooo cute and quaint the people who work there are sweeties and seem…read morelike they genuinely love their job. I went for the first time two weeks ago, where I had a turkey bacon, avocado sub as well as the potato salad. Despite getting half a sandwich, it was huge! I was able to take home half a sandwich and most of the salad for later. The inside is very dated but in the best way possible it feels like you're coming into a family owned business that's been around longer than most of us have been alive. I love sitting on the right hand side of the building where they have a couple tables and seeing all the vintage items they have out. I can't believe I've lived in lemon Grove more than half my life and I've never been here. But I will certainly be frequenting more often. :)

Fun variety of bar favorites to choose from on the menu…read more We started with the Pork Nugs and a Sicilian Salad...one bite of each and we were OFF to a bountiful taste delight. The fried pork pieces the best pork belly bites Ive ever had...they were light, yet meaty, and crispy outside, tossed in their gochuijang..so savory with a slight kick thay made me dive back in (comes in two order sizes). The salad was LARGE, with cold and crisp chopped romaine (no brown pieces to be found!!) topped with a merry go round effect of sliced pepperoni, shaved white onions, seaaoned greek olives, halved cherry tomatoes, marinated arttchokes, shredded mozzarella tossed in a vinaigrette with a slight hint of lemon capped off with a sprinkle of jalapeños. Next up my dining mate ordered the smashburger..made DOUBLE, with the most delectable garlic aioli and a side of the Mastiff fries a surprise plate of crispy salty potato skinn on wedges that are soft, seasoned well amd topped with their house sauce(yummmm..creamy and warm) and cotija cheese. The portion sizes are ample so plan on bringing home leftovers! The restaurant has a small parking lot, big windows that bring in plenty of light with a mix of tall tables, dining tables and a bar running half the length (bonus for wide bottom seats!!) While yoy order at the counter, everything is brought out to your table with a smile! THANK YOU TEAM MASTIFF LA MESA... we will be back for the chicken and pizzas!!

My husband ordered the Smashburger and a side salad and I got the wings. The wings were perfectly crisp and cooked all the way through the flavor was definitely there. The vibe in there feels like locals vibes and it's good to escape the SD tourist. The pricing for the food is also great. Parking is in a lot in front of the restaurant or there is street parking. Def will be back.

It sounded good but we also weren't really feeling like going "out" and something that could be delivered or that we could pick up seemed like the better play. All the typical poke places showed up when we searched but none of them really sold us. Well, good thing I remembered that Valley Farm's poke game is strong... really strong. Believe me, I know that those of you who don't know Valley Farm will likely say "really?" when I detail that this sleepy little Spring Valley market kicks out poke as good as anywhere else in SD, but it's true. It's a sleeper of a choice but the quality and price will make you a fan, trust me.

Valley Farms Market is one of San Diego's hidden gems. From the moment you walk in, you can feel…read morethe difference. The store is clean, beautifully organized, and filled with high-quality products you don't always find at larger chain grocery stores. What I love most is their fresh selection, especially the produce, specialty items, and unique gourmet finds. Everything looks vibrant and carefully displayed. You can tell they take pride in what they offer. They also have a full butcher shop with everything you could desire. The selection is impressive, and it's wonderful knowing you can get high-quality cuts prepared fresh right there in the store. It adds such a personalized, old-fashioned market feel that you just don't see everywhere anymore. Another favorite of mine is their fresh-pressed cold juice blends, which I absolutely love. They taste incredibly fresh, and you can truly tell the difference in quality. It's such a treat to grab one while shopping. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It truly feels like a neighborhood market where customer service still matters. Whether I am picking up everyday essentials or something special for a gathering, I know I will find something wonderful here. If you appreciate quality, variety, and a pleasant shopping experience, Valley Farms Market is definitely worth a visit. I always leave happy!

They do add half and half (I believe) or it could be heavy cream to it. Regardless its so damn good I can't stop ordering it. It only comes in one size and when I tell you it wakes you up, it really does! The service, in my opinion, is good and fair for a coffee shop. They do have a lot of little things to look at when waiting on your order, which I like. For the most part it is always full and they do have a lot of seating. I also never have issues finding parking. It is a good coffee shop to try.
