In lieu of a traditional cake, one of my employees bought these beautiful bite size cheese cakes…read morefor another employees's birthday. These portable and delightful little concoctions come in array of flavors, but for the birthday we had the Animal Cracker, Ginger, and Oreo cheesecake. Needless to say, these little desserts were wonderful and afforded everyone and opportunity to try different flavors without wasting a crumb. What I do know about Bites of Happyness is that they are located down south in Chula Vista and are a very new business ran by Carol Jennings (as stated on the business card). There is also a special offer for free delivery with first order. Reducing the need for plates and utensils, I will definitely take advantage of ordering some delightful cheesecake bites for my next social gathering. http://www.bitesofhappyness.com/

I've known Carol for about 19 years and have had the pleasure of enjoying all her wonderful treats…read moreand desserts that she bakes. I'm very happy that she has taken it to the next level so that everyone can enjoy what I have over the years. Wide variety of flavors and different desserts, everything I've tried, I loved. Hope everyone else is ready to enjoy these "Bites of Happyness" as I have!

**July 2026: Sunday Afternoon Visit**…read more During my SDCC weekend, I walked by Michaela's Meals in the Gaslamp Quarter, which was right between my hotel and the convention center. This shop was just one street down from Ralphs and Vitality Tap so it was conveniently located. On Sunday afternoon, I noticed the space was open for business, so I popped in to check it out. It's a small spot with a staff member, a fridge full of pre-made meals, a little bar area with two stools, a cold water pitcher, and a microwave. The main business model is a weekly subscription, but I learned that the owner also keeps leftovers in the fridge for grab-and-go customers on Wednesdays and Sundays from 1:30-5 p.m. They also run a "buy 4 get 1 free" and "buy 8 get 2 free" promotion, which makes the meals an even better value. I assumed she makes an abundance and sells those for $10 a meal, but since I stopped by close to closing, I got mine for $5 each. I grabbed two to try because the meals looked very nutrition-focused and considering I ate basically garbage throughout Comic Con it was a smart choice to fuel up with real food. I tried a Mediterranean chicken over yellow rice and zucchini, as well as a ground hamburger-style sloppy joe-type meal. The food definitely leans healthy, and considering how inconvenient it is to eat well at SDCC, this was a great find. Since she has Wednesday and Sunday pickups, I'm now contemplating doing a preview-night (Wednesday) pickup for a couple of meals on my next visit. I'll be in touch with Michaela's for future San Diego trips.

Michaela's Meals has solved my problem of trying to eat healthy dinners during the week. i've been…read moregetting 5 meals delivered on sunday for a month now and have really liked every meal i've ordered so far. they heat up easy, are perfectly portioned (with the ability to size up on certain meals for extra protein), and made with fresh and healthy ingredients. they also stay perfectly fresh in the fridge for the entire week. i was really skeptical before getting my first order but the dishes really taste great...definitely better than anything i could make during the week with limited time. highly recommend it!

Anthony and The Lean Machine team are the real deal. I just…read moretried The Lean Machine for the first time and I'm already hooked. Anthony went above and beyond -- even on a Sunday, he took time out of his day to personally meet up with me and make sure I got my meals. That kind of customer service is rare and it says everything about how much he cares about his customers. I ordered the Steak Chimichurri Fajita, Salmon with Kale Salad and Quinoa, Grilled Chicken Breast with Kale Salad and Sweet Potato, and the Ground Turkey Breast with Cauliflower and Sweet Potato -- and I've already eaten three of them. Every single one has been delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and nothing like the bland "diet food" I expected. I'm already planning to sign up for regular weekly deliveries and will absolutely be recommending The Lean Machine to friends and family. If you're on the fence, don't wait -- just try it. You won't be disappointed.

My meals were delivered…read morein a really nice fabric tote bag with the ice packs instead of the typical heavy cardboard box. This was easy to pick up. Looking forward to trying one of my meals later today. I highly recommend this company for your next choice of meals delivered. The price is reasonable and you choose exactly what you want. If you don't want a meal, you can order any item in bulk. That's very helpful. I always need my food GF and this company offers all of theirs GF. Nice! Thank you for such great service and a nice menu.

Plus, they're local and use local farmers. So, that's a plus. 1 minor thing is just I wish I could select what meals I wanted in my subscription instead of chef's choice, because I personally just WISH I could order some meals more than once because of how delicious they were.

So I had a not so great encounter with this company. There was some confusion when I signed up and…read moreI was getting double charged. They assured me this would be fixed immediately and have nothing to worry about. But they didn't. Called them again, same thing. So I had to email them multiple times until they finally fixed it. After this I decided to cancel my subscription as a whole, where I was assured I wouldn't be charged again, but I was still charged. I reached out to the owner and he was pretty hostile. See attached images.. They also claim their meals are GF but I'm pretty sure we found gluten in one of them.m Update for everyone: Jeff is lying. I had contacted him multiple times and he kept forgetting. He is very disorganized and hostile when you message him. Also Jeff, I had frozen the meals buddy.. Then I spoke with health officials first, and then contacted you once we had a case. I'm not sure what's going on in your personal life but I've never seen a business owner get so angry over a customer trying to cancel their subscription.

After leaving NY, I never thought I would be able to taste authentic Puerto Rican food just like my…read moremom used to make when I was young. I tried a few places in San Diego, and they were decent, but nothing to write home about. When a friend recommended me to Wanda's Puerto Rican Cuisine, I thought it can't hurt... Maybe it will be decent since it's homebased... After trying the pernil, arroz gandules, empanadas and pasteles (especially the pasteles)... I had to declare this was the best puerto rican food... [dare I say]... EVEN BETTER THAN MY MOM'S‼ I almost [probably did] cried while eating it. The next time I brought it home, I refused to share it with my husband, but he's stronger than me, so he got some. I thought I would be smart the third time and ate it when he wasn't home, but it almost broke up my marriage when he came home and smelled the fragrant delicacies in the air, but no remnants of the actual food‼ If you don't mind ruining your marriage for this fantastic Puerto Rican food, then you should definitely order from her‼ She has an Instagram page, so you have to direct message her to order: https://share.google/KiXehQlzI2LRdcDFF Don't forget to order the cheese and guava pastry too... It's another fight waiting to happen in my marriage if I don't buy at least a half dozen to share with him‼
