    Açaí bowl
    Angela B.

    We were coming back from windnsea beach and decided to stop here and try their açaí bowl. I was sorely disappointed. It was pretty mediocre and expensive for its size. My pic says it all. Not much else to say but we won't be coming back

    Top notch salads and sandwiches. I was impressed by the Arugula Salad on my most recent visit.

    Food is fresh and huge in size at a reasonable price. Service is self-serving, but I am lucky today because he brought it out and served it at the table. Ambiance includes outdoor seating.

    If you want to wait 30+ minutes for an açaí bowl when it's not crowded come here... staff did not even communicate that they were behind had to go up and ask. Horrible service, will not be coming back. What the heck!

    Margarita Pizza with Bacon
    Sally M.

    I recently dined at Lark & Owl with my husband, cousin, and our dogs. It was the first time with our puppies eating out, so Lark & Owl was a perfect spot to test how they would do given the outdoor seating is spread out and that we could order ahead of time. I ordered through the Slice app and our food was ready when promised, maybe even earlier. The folks at Lark & Owl brought out our pizzas and a chicken parm sandwich. He offered us plates, but we just chose to eat from the pizza boxes. Grated parm and red pepper flakes were provided along with peppers for the chicken parm sandwich. My husband enjoyed his chicken parm. My cousin liked the philly pizza and I ordered the margarita with bacon. Not only did the pizza taste delicious, it looked great too! Service was very friendly. You can also order through UberEats or DoorDash to get it delivered, but if you're picking up, I recommend ordering through the Slice app. I did order once through DoorDash on a Saturday morning (after 10AM) and hoping to pick up after walking there, but they weren't open. My order was eventually canceled when it wasn't confirmed, but I wasn't notified by DoorDash until 20 minutes later when I was standing at Lark & Owl. So, I recommend calling ahead to make sure they are open since their website hours state they are open every day (pretty much all day). Note, they operate out of a kiosk, so seating is only outdoors on the sidewalk.

    My dog and I came here for breakfast and had a wonderful experience. The customer service was great, the lovely girl working helped me pick what to order and prepared it promptly after. She then brought over my sandwich and smoothie to my table which was greatly appreciated. The ambiance and asthetic was very calming and my meal was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more options! We ordered the caprese sandwich and cleanser smoothie, both which I would highly reccomend.

    Meatball sandwich
    Curt T.

    The meatball sandwich was really good good flavor and not too much sauce. I ate the leftover and heated it up in a toaster oven and it was delicious crunchy and flavorful. The caprese sandwich was just as delicious. I got it with out the olives and it didn't disappoint. The pizza was average. Not excellent but not bad either. I'd eat here again.

    Lark & Owl is a kiosk stationed near one of the roundabouts along La Jolla Blvd in the Bird Rock neighborhood. The menu offered a range of smoothies, acai bowls, sandwiches, salads, and pizzas. A few tables were available near the establishment where you could enjoy your food and drink on-site. Given their location, I was impressed that they stay open until midnight because the foot traffic dwindles after sunset. My choices were The Vaccine for a beverage and a Pastrami sandwich. The smoothie consisted of orange juice, tangerine juice, mango, banana, and turmeric. The tangerine was a unique component as its juice is not one I have seen offered elsewhere. Tart and tangy would be the best way to describe the drink. As for the sandwich, their version was served on French bread instead of between two slices of bread like rye. Yellow mustard, provolone cheese, and onions were the accompaniments. It was more like a compact hoagie than a traditional pastrami sandwich that I have purchased at delicatessens. For the price, I would like to have seen more slices of meat.

    Goat Cheese Salad with Chicken

    Have lived in LJ for many years and this little hut has had many businesses come and go. I decided to try this place for the first time after reading reviews and was pleasantly surprised. My salad as excellent! Was sitting with other people that had a sandwich and pizza and they also said their food was delicious. Will definitely be back.

    Could you tell me a bit about the salmon and where it's sourced from?

    The salmons name was Madison. Madison was raised non binary from vegan parents and went to an ivy league school. Madison could have been a little more fatty but overall he,she,him,her was alright.

    I just tried to place an order for either delivery or pickup. Are you closed on Sundays? Yelp would only let me pre order for tomorrow.…

The sandwich: This thing costs a pretty penny, so be prepared to shell out. They do slam an ungodly amount of roast beef in there. My experience was that the whole thing was a soggy mess. Was it particularly mind boggling roast beef? Not really. Mostly tasted like mayo and barbecue sauce, which it's smothered in. The fries: they do curly fries here, cooked in beef tallow and seasoned with barbecue seasoning. These are really good! They were lava hot when I got them, and the seasoning is great! Really good by themselves and better with ketchup. Service was counter side, quick and casual. Pretty sure the owner was the one who took my order. They have no indoor seating, and a shared outdoor space with the restaurants next door. There are only a few tables, and even fewer with shade, so if it's crowded be prepared to take it elsewhere. Overall, since the place brands itself as a roast beef place, I'd give it average rating since the sandwich was disappointing. Maybe one of the other sandwiches would be a better choice.

It was absolutely packed when I visited, and finding a seat felt like a challenge. I eventually snagged a little desk in the corner. Sure, it was next to the bathroom, but honestly I was just happy to have my own little workspace. I ordered a lavender ube latte, half sweet, and it was so good. The flavors were perfect, and the temperature was spot on. Also, can we take a moment for their ceramic cups? So cute! For food, I tried their Cali vegan sandwich. It was okay, but I was hoping for a little more flavor. It felt a bit dry, and the fries weren't very hot by the time they arrived. Given how busy the place was, I'm guessing that may have played a role. Overall, it's a solid place to hang out, grab a coffee, or get some work done if you can find a table. Plus, it's only about a 7-minute walk to the beach, which makes it an easy stop before or after a PB stroll.

Tonight I came home and had no food so I thought, let's give it a try, when I looked up their menu I discovered that they do more than just sandwiches! Wraps, salads, paninis and even breakfast! Because I'm not a big sandwich person, I opted for a wrap. The Southwest Chicken wrap. You get the option of what kind of wrap so I chose the sun-dried tomato. Because I knew I wouldn't eat it all in one sitting I asked for the ranch dressing on the side when I called it it. The lady who answered said, no problem, we'll have that ready in 6 minutes! Amazing! I was starving so this was great news. When I walked in she had it ready for me and then all I had to do was pay at the register. Now for the taste, wow. At first I thought this was going to be a cold wrap with like cubed chicken. I was pleasantly surprised when I felt a warm bag. When I open the wrap it had little grill marks on it, they press it in the panini and warm it up! It made it 10x better and the chicken was warm too and sliced. Avocado, lettuce, cheese etc. yum! I can't wait to eat the other half tomorrow. Oh, and they give you a nice size pickle spear to go with it. I will definitely be back!
