Spill the Beans has completely ruined every other coffee shop for me…read more I'm here every single morning, and there's a reason. The bagels are larger, fluffier, and have this perfect subtle sweetness -- rumor has it they're boiled in agave syrup, and honestly, it shows. The Lox, Stock & Bagel hits different when the bagel itself is this good, and the McLovin is worth every bite too. The rotating selection keeps it fresh enough that I genuinely look forward to switching it up. Then there's the Basic Sitch -- don't let the name fool you. Best Caramel Macchiato I've had anywhere. Period. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. And if you have, you already know.

I have to say this is a really great bagel spot! I've been here several times since discovering the…read moreplace and it's now my go to when I'm in the area. Parking is a bit of a pain bit of you are in waking distance or come early enough it shouldn't be an issue. Sometimes they run out of items if you come later in the day. They have a special Bagel of the month, so make sure to ask what it is. They have several bagel flavors, and different flavor cream cheese spreads. I love the habanero bagel, it's one of my favorites, but just be warned it is very hot. Definitely don't eat it without something cold to drink. They also have a breakfast sandwich called the San Diego which is a favorite of several people I know. You chose the bagel you want it with and they add fried eggs, bacon, cheese and aioli. I highly reccomend it. I've not had a lot of their deinis, but i did order the cinna-bee which has honey, cinnamon, espresso and milk. I thought it was good and would order it again. Definitely check them out and try some of their bagels, or perhaps one of their sandwiches.

Asst. Mgr Cecilia rose to the occasion when I asked about placing a "special request for…read moreValentine's" order. I requested a single, cranberry bagel in the shape of a "9" to match my card on the theme of "I'd love you for all my 9 lives" (cat-themed card). She suggested the perfect size box to go with it. I asked if she could have my order ready early on Feb 14. Cecelia was most helpful in noting my request. And, yes, I did leave a well-deserved tip.

I was disappointed with my recent visit. I asked what meats were available for sandwiches listing…read moretwo meats. I was told the choices, and that I could choose two different meats if I wanted. When I saw my total for sandwich and latte, I said it seemed a little high. The cashier looked at the menu boards and said it was "pretty close". I was in my happy place so I just went along. Got my digital receipt where I saw a $1.50 upcharge for two different meats. I didn't go back inside to dispute it, but was annoyed. Then I tasted the sandwich. Overripe avocado, eggs overcooked and dry, and very salty, cheap tasting turkey lunch meat. I expected better for a $15 breakfast sandwich. My hot latte was just warm. I had happily started out on a walk and thought to myself, let me give Katy's some love... I regretted that choice. Their cinnamon rolls are very good, I'll stick to those.

We also ordered the Salmon Bagel Sandwiches to have for lunch. This is the second time we have bought our breakfast from them. Last week we ordered the Pulled Pork Bagels, and the Salmon Bagel Sandwiches also. The Bagel Tower is a locally owned business not a chain store operation like the other bagel shop here in south San Diego county area. I will definitely recommend this store and definitely order from them again. And they deliver, also if you order through the 1Delivery.com web site it has buy one get one specials. Give them a try. I recommend The Bagel Tower.

This was the absolute best brunch I've ever had. We collectively got the gluten-free French toast,…read morea breakfast bowl, and their house-made gluten-free bagel, and it was divine. We also took home some baked goods. It's so hard to find gluten-free French toast and baked goods that are actually good, and these were UNBELIEVABLE. You would never guess they were gluten-free. The vibe was cute and laid back and the service incredible. Despite the fact that it was very busy, the food came out really quickly. I will absolutely head back down to IB just to come here again. 10/10 recommend.

I tried their farmer's sandwich and chose a jalapeño cheddar bagel. On it was sausage, bacon, egg,…read morecream cheese and red onion, and it was awesome. The egg was perfect! They also have a young man who plays jazz piano there every Sunday, so the ambiance is pretty awesome along with the nice weather. Sometimes it can get windy so bring a sweater, but otherwise, it's usually a really nice day to hang out with friends and family. I also had a matcha ginger thyme latte with oat milk which was just tasty since ginger is a rare flavor in coffee drinks. I loved it, and it was so good that I took an extra one home. The service is amazing, and on busy days you may have to wait a bit, but it's worth it. If you have any questions about a dish, don't hesitate to ask!

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! :)

Man why are there only FOUR banana pieces in here this is a little ridiculous. I'm so disappointed. This is not how their fruit salads used to be. I did call them to let them know. I've been coming here for YEARS and I never been this disappointed in the food I received. They did offer to credit me for a fruit for next time but this is really sad to see, a business I frequent a lot going downhill this bad in portions. I really hope they get it together again because I know how good the food here can be!!
