It had a great mix of hot and cold elements, with the melted cheese and fresh veggies working well together. There was a slight sweetness from the apple coleslaw, and the pickles added nice pops of flavor throughout. It also came with a side salad, and I liked the overall portion size and how balanced everything felt. Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl (8.5/10): This bowl had so many layers of flavor and came together really well. The onions added extra depth, and the brown rice paired perfectly with the seared tuna. The sauce was light and did not overpower the dish and it had a teriyaki like taste. It is actually a mix of ponzu and sushi sauce. The kale, radish, and edamame added a great crunch and texture. Portion size was also solid and filling. Service: Very nice and efficient. Ambiance: Clean space but a bit small. A lot of people seem to order takeout so there is a steady flow of grab and go customers coming in and leaving. If you dine in, it still has a pretty chill and casual vibe.

We were trying to figure out where to eat lunch and this place popped up. We got a Cuban sandwich to split and a tamal. There's not really seating inside but there are tables outside. The woman at the front counter is very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious my friend isn't much of a tamal person so I enjoyed that on my own I loved the lime garlic sauce that came with it so much I was putting it on my half of the delicious sandwich. The sandwich was crispy on the outside everything you expect from a Cuban sandwich and came with a lovely cilantro aioli. The women asked if it was our first time and then gifted us dessert a delicious flakey guava pastry. They have a larger catering menu as well we saw someone picking up a tray to go. Definitely will be back when I'm on a Mochi run when I'm San Diego.

There's 2 self serve kiosks to order from and service was friendly and pretty quick. I would come back! -Pork katsu sando (4.5/5): tasty and nicely savory. Thick and juicy pieces of pork katsu! The pork was a little chewy and could be crispier but the cabbage and katsu sauce were good. The bread was soft and fluffy. My sister and I shared the sando as it was a pretty big portion -Miso salmon onigiri (4/5): the salmon was good and not too salty, rice was warm and soft -Banana matcha (4/5): the banana flavor was nicely sweet and not too overpowering, I was happily surprised I could taste the matcha. I didn't like the soft banana pieces in the drink tho

I believe I have just found my new favorite coffee shop on Third ave. I've been here once before…read morebut this was my first time trying the food and holy moly! Lets talk about the vibes first...amazing decor and vibes, decor and walls and atmosphere is very cool and unique I truly love it so much. The staff is very nice, offering suggestions on drinks with big smiles and welcoming energy. Now the drinks and food: the drink I got last time was an iced mocha (no picture but I remember it was very good). This time I went with my mom and we both got the "Moon" drink.. a Chai/Matcha which was such a good drink, I want like a 40oz of it to take with me home for the week. I also ordered the pesto turkey sandwhich to share and I can not express how good this was. Perfectly crispy, juicy and fresh. Took the first bite and literally gasped because not only was the bread toasted to perfection but the veggies and turkey were so flavorful. The veggies and pesto and turkey were also layered in a way that made every bite delectable and that to me is art. Loved it, want more of it and I WILL be back to try more drinks and sandwhiches.

Eeeeek! Omg I love this place and you will too after reading my review…read more I've recently found this place from a studio I go to nearby. It's third ave I mean if you are from San Diego you know it's either neighborhood parking or the meters. Not a big deal though. I am greeted by Karely and her big smile, one of the baristas. It is tiny location but long, they have two gender neutral bathrooms at the end. A few tables to sit down inside and out. A cute bench with the view of third ave traffic. Interior decor is super cute I loved, one of my favs was this board they have which is a basically you pay a coffee forward and you put the sticky there for the next person to get their drink. I totally don't work there so I would just reconfirm what can be redeemed. Drink: I get an iced dirty chai WITH banana cold foam. 10/10 must try. They also offer matcha for you matcha lovers. Grind house has found a new customer and yes, I've already brought so many friends here. My only suggestion would be to maybe have a phone charging station, that's all! :)

There's indoor seating with chairs & tables as well as comfy chairs. The outdoor seating is covered under umbrellas. I got a matcha with almond milk and added lavender.

I'll definitely give this place another shot. Gotta support our local coffee shops!

I took a look at the menu and decided on getting the Matcha Meets Fresca and chilaquiles. The Matcha was actually pretty good. And the Chilaquiles were decent however I can tell the green salsa is not a fresh salsa. I also did not care for the chicken. It tasted like pre-cooked chicken that had been warmed up. The chips were very crispy however. I think it's a great option for folks in the area, however I would not return given it's not located in my community and can find not your preferred closer to me. There were folks in their meeting and working and although it may be a little noisy, it is a great option to work from. They also have tables outside which I found were nice and provide a more quieter space

Today (10/24/24) I had a facial appointment at Bellus Academy, and had never been there before. My…read moresister was dropping me off and briefly pulled into a spot for this deli to let me out because it didn't appear that there was a way out of the parking lot in the back. I literally told my sister "oooh a deli, I want a torta after" and then I headed into Bellus. As I was walking in the owner of this deli confronted me telling me not to park there and I let him know I had just been dropped off and wouldn't be taking up any of his parking and he continued "the car, the car" so persistently I had to just about yell at him that she left and we weren't parked there. Mind you his establishment was completely empty at the time. Not that it would be an excuse if we did park there( which I would never do). Throughout my entire appointment I was thinking about how crazy he came at me and when I decided to mention it to the esthetician student doing my facial she mentioned she had ordered some tostilocos from him the day prior that came with apple on them (unusual) and that the cueritos on them were mushy and when she asked for her money back on them he had an attitude about it, which I believe given what I saw from him today. On my way out I stopped to let him know that I was a potential customer and he totally deterred me from patronizing his business. Oh and shocker: his place was still empty when I told him this and it was lunchtime. Interesting.
