    Peanut Butter Strawberry Banana Smoothie
    Jack M.

    This is a great small business fruit, juice, and deli. Pure Fruits offers great smoothies and shakes, which is what I came in for. I had the fresh strawberry, banana shake with almond milk, but I also added fresh peanut butter. The concoction was delicious. It had a great upfront peanut butter flavor ending with strawberries and then bananas. It was a great blend of flavors with a great smooth icy texture. The service was great. It was friendly and with a good sense of humor. The fruit bar also offers sandwiches and salads. There's plenty of parking.

    The food was so filling!! The portions are right for the price. I asked for a custom smoothie (mango, pineapple, and peach with orange juice) AND IT CAME OUT AMAZING. I normally go to a different local fruiteria in city heights and they are good but I think the Pure Fruit Bar is going to be my new spot. Everything is priced right, there is nice seating inside and everything is neat and organized inside. The floors are CLEAN. The owner (Omar) is also so sweet and accommodating. He has jokes for days and has amazing energy. I hope to see this business thrive with more recognition down the road!!

    If you're in Lemon Grove and looking for a hidden gem, you've got to check out this new spot located in the Dollar Tree shopping center across from Lemon Grove Plaza. This bright and modern smoothie bar and deli has been open for three months, and is already making a splash in the community. The owner, Omar, or "O" as he likes to be called, really goes the extra mile to make sure you get exactly what you want, and more. I ordered the acai protein bowl, which is a little different from the original recipe (no strawberries, but includes chia seeds and peanuts), and the Green Juice. Honestly, I didn't miss the strawberries in the bowl at all, it was so good and super filling. The juice was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too bitter, and just the kind of refreshing pick-me-up I needed. What really gets me is Omar's story. He spent three years trying to get this business off the ground, and now he's finally able to share his passion for crave worthy food and drinks with the public. It's that kind of dedication that makes me want to support local businesses like his. If you're in the area, stop by--you won't regret it!

    If I could give this place 20 stars, I would. I'm genuinely out of words, but I'll try. Pure Fruit Bar & Deli is the hidden gem Lemon Grove didn't know it desperately needed. In a city full of greasy fast food and depressing customer service, this spot is like a breath of fresh air... no, a breath of fruit-scented, respectful, joyfully efficient air. The owner? Absolute legend. Super friendly, well-mannered, professional, and treats every customer like a human being, which sadly feels rare these days. You can tell he takes pride in what he does, and it shows in every smoothie, every sandwich, and every interaction. Let's talk food. I'm picky when it comes to smoothies. I don't want that Jamba Juice syrupy mess or some milkshake in disguise pretending to be healthy. I want real fruit, real flavor, and actual balance. This place nails it. The Sweet Sunrise is my go-to, but he's always adding new items and switching things up, which I love. Today I had the turkey sandwich (with bacon and avo), and no joke...best turkey sandwich I've had in a long time. Everything tastes fresh, and he's super accommodating if you want to customize your order. The vibe here isn't just about the food. It's about care. The kind you don't see anymore. He's fast, consistent, and not once has he made me feel like I'm bothering him, even when I ask for a million substitutions. And don't get me started on tipping culture... I gladly tip here because the service deserves it. He doesn't shove the iPad in your face with that "It's gonna ask you a question" passive-aggressive nonsense. He's not entitled, he's just excellent. Oh, and the prices? Fair. Like actually fair. Not "$25 for a crab cake the size of a baby sock" fair. You leave full, happy, and not broke. Places like this need to be spotlighted, not the overpriced trendy spots in La Jolla or Mira Mesa that get attention just because of their zip code. Pure Fruit Bar & Deli is everything those places pretend to be. Support your locals. This one's officially one of my regulars.

    his was my first time trying Pure Fruit Bar & Deli and I'm already obsessed! I ordered their popular smoothie and wow it was so fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality of the fruit! The whole menu looked incredible, and I can't wait to come back to try more. The person who helped me was super friendly and had such a positive vibe

    Banana Date Protein
    Paola G.

    I've had the chance to visit twice in the past couple of weeks with coworkers, and it's quickly become a favorite! The location is super convenient to our workplace, and everything on the menu is delicious. I especially enjoyed the banana date protein shake. We're excited to keep supporting this great spot!

The la mesa latte was super yummy and while I'm not the biggest fan of cold foam on lattes this one was pleasantly good! I had also gotten a bagel with cream cheese which I don't believe was toasted and would say that was the only downside but the delicious amount of cream cheese definitely helped.

So far, I've tried the pandan, the brown sugar, and the sesame latte all iced w/ oat milk and they've all been a hit. The pandan is easily my fave, but if you're trying the brown sugar and don't love super sweet drinks I'd recommend adding an extra shot to balance it out. The drinks are consistently good and you can tell they really care about the quality. It's one of those spots you keep thinking about and end up going back to without even planning it. Customer service was solid and there's plenty of seating, which makes it a nice place to hang out or get some work done. Parking was also easy, which is always a win.

It can get pretty busy so come early to prep. Seating: Chill plenty of seating both inside and outside. Good for small groups with room for about 30 people. Vibes: Welcome to Normal Heights nothing too flashy, just plenty of local eateries and businesses. The spot itself is relatively clean, modern, pretentious. I dig the 90s house music in the background. This seems to be a trusted neighborly coffee shop with students are working, friends are catching up, and regulars seem to know the staff by name. It helps there's a pizza shop next door as well. FOOD / DRINKS Cherie Amour (Recommend) Delish. A latte with housemade cherry and almond syrup, and if you get it iced, it comes topped with a little cold foam. I dig the sweetness and the fruitiness of the cherry, it balanced out the bitterness of the coffee which was pretty cool. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly and welcoming. Sara helped contribute to the neighborhood feel of the place and made the experience easy and enjoyable. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good coffee, reasonable prices, and a pleasant atmosphere. I know there are plenty of coffeeshops in SD but this is a cool neighborly one. It doesnt seem like a trendy place but a place more in community and steady service. Till next time, Scrimshaw! TIPS * Try the seasonal drinks--they get creative.

She said the banana was a strong flavor, which is OK cause I like banana. She made my drink and I paid and was on my way. As I was walking back to my car, I took a sip. I'm not sure what happened, but there was zero banana flavor. It was just chocolate. I don't know if she ran out of banana or what happened but had I known I would've ordered something different. Quite disappointing actually. Since I'm in the area every few months and it has a five star reputation I will come back and try something else on a different day but today was not my day for getting a good drink.
