    Super cool spot!
    Denisse R.

    I was looking for a place to grab a smoothie bowl/something light to eat for lunch when I came across this super cool hidden gym in the UTC business park area. The tranquility and isolation of this place is just what one needs when we work in a business park/office area. The people that work here are very friendly. They offer many coffee/tea options, acai bowls, smoothies, to go sandwiches/snacks and juices. I will be frequenting them a lot now that I know they are just about a 10 min walk from my work.

    Cargo Café is a literal oasis in La Jolla. The secluded location is almost like a private getaway from the hustle and bustle of the seemingly never-ending construction. Perched on the edge of a fountain, this little café serves up great espresso drinks and has other offerings for a quick bite! I had an almond milk latte, which was pretty good. But, I look forward to sitting in the sun and studying in the area, which has plenty of open-air seating for the COVID conscious. It's a perfectly serene location, albeit somewhat difficult to find, but overall a hidden gem in the UTC area!

    This coffee shop is a total hidden gem. Coffee is decent they have some healthy food and snack options. What makes it special is the view!! It's like an oasis in the middle of all the business and office buildings. Came here to work for a few hours and WiFi is great too. Staff is casually friendly. There's extra seating across the water as well.

    Prefacing with - I don't really eat Acai Bowls, it feels like just a thick smoothie with some…read moretoppings but I cannot deny that Juice Wave changed my perspective completely and I understand the hype. 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

    I loveeee their acai bowl. At first, I was skeptical because one bowl is almost $15. But these…read morebowls are BIG and really loaded with fruit. Their granola is also one of the best granolas I've had at an acai place. They can get pretty busy though, expect up to a 30 minute wait on a busy day. But I would definitely come back if in the area.

    Before taking a walk around the UCSD campus, my daughter, niece, and I stopped by Shake Smart for a…read morecold treat. My daughter got the Chocolate Strawberry smoothie and absolutely loved it! She recently graduated from UCSD and this was her favorite smoothie (still is). My niece got the Frutopia smoothie and enjoyed her drink. I opted for a build-your-own açaí bowl. The bowl came with any 4 toppings, additional toppings varied it cost per item. I chose strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and new pollen. I also added sliced almonds and granola, topped with honey. The gal who helped build my açaí bowl (Acharipon, I probably butchered the spelling of her name), was very pleasant and had really great customer service skills. It's obvious she was well trained and had the skills set to work in food service. What sets this place apart from other places that sells smoothies and açaí bowls was the friendliness of their staff. Acharipon made a pretty bowl that was Yelp photo worthy! What I loved about my bowl: The açaí base was very frozen. Some other places make it watery, which I do not care for. I liked how it was frozen, down to the last spoon! The blueberries were frozen (I love frozen blueberries). Areas for improvement: The strawberries were frozen and chopped into tiny pieces. Fresh strawberries would've been nicer. The toppings options were limited. The shop was very clean and organized. There was a self-help kiosk where you placed your order, but payment was at the register. It seemed a bit odd that the kiosk didn't have the functionality to accept payments, because the order had to be re-confirmed at the register when it was already confirmed at the self-help kiosk. This slowed down the process slightly, which I didn't mind. Overall, I enjoyed the experience here and would definitely recommend it!

There is no seating inside this location. There is a table or two in front of the store if you wanted to sit down. They also offer a kiosk to order from, but you can also order with a staff member.

I usually always order online on through their app, which I definitely recommend. I decided to get their raspberry romance, which is my favourite smoothie from any Robeks location as well as the green smoothie. The prices are pretty expensive. It can get up to $10 for a smoothie so I would definitely just recommend choosing a smoothie that you like and also reading the ingredients before. The service itself was really great we were acknowledged and the place itself was clean. It's more of like coming and grabbing a smoothie and leaving. There is a couple of chairs and tables, but it isn't really a place to stay for super long because it's more like an In and out system. Overall, I really enjoyed the smoothies here and the location itself. It was quick easy and I loved how accessible the parking was. I would definitely recommend stopping by and I really enjoyed all their smoothies that they have.

It was a nice ambiance to sit and enjoy your juice and coffee. We ordered quite a bit of items as we were waiting for another member of our party to meet us here. The bathroom is beautifully and nicely decorated but they are super strict about using the bathroom even if you are a customer as they had a bathroom (there is a key you have to ask for) "wanted bandit sign"apparently for vandalizing it....which I understand however When another member of our party came, we went inside and the line was so long we decided to use the bathroom before ordering more, we were in there less than 5 minutes and the owner/manager knocked and knocked, I came out and apologized and asked if she knocked. She did apologize but said other people are waiting. I ordered another juice and was going to order sandwiches and acai bowls but felt like we probably were at cafe more than an hour and out stayed our stay. I understand as a business you have to be strict about the bathroom and that is their policy however if it is a juice/coffee place your customers are bound to use the restroom several times especially if they are continuing to order. Unfortunately, It did turn me away to try the food which I actually was looking forward to as they did offer organic croissant sandwiches. We decided to just choose another place to order food. I'll have to think about returning as we are always in La Jolla for yoga.
