Visited rush bowls for the first time today! We loved that there was nothing premade- it's all fresh. Even down to chopping the kiwis for my bowl. They were even nice enough to let our dogs try their dog bowl version. We will definitely be back to try more of their options and their boosts! read more

Rush Bowls is our family's go-to bowl & smoothie spot in PB, for sure. Love the fresh ingredients, service, and owners. Good people and good healthy food option. Our usual order is the High Tide Bowl and Green Goodness. The Rush Bites are awesome too. Plenty of inside and outside seating. read more

Been looking for a smoothie/açaí bowl fix and came across this spot! They have a really big menu with lots of options for toppers, every single thing looked sooo good! We got a dragon bowl and a PB crunch, and every smoothie can be made into a bowl and vice versa!! Staff was also very friendly and ~patient~ while we were trying to figure out what to get. They also promote having no added sugars, and you can definitely tell!! Everything was so fresh and easy, we'll definitely be coming back! read more

Rush Bowls has entered the SD market with a location that recently opened in PB. It's a national chain featuring acai and smoothie bowls. The suite it inherited has seen multiple beverage and dessert vendors pass through its doors. Perhaps a business with a health and wellness focus will be more successful in the long term. Parking on this block was all curbside. The inside had a few tables for seating. It was a pet friendly environment. I believe the owners have multiple dogs that were painted as a mural on the right wall when you walked in. The menu screens hung on the left wall. The categories were divided into Destination, Wellness, and Endurance with bowls and smoothies available under each one. Bowls cost $12.99, and smoothies were $10.99. Toppers and boosts were $1 each, and alternative milk choices were also $1 extra. The Jungle bowl was my selection. The base contained strawberry, banana, pineapple, coconut, orange juice, and guava juice. The toppers were granola, honey, and one choice (blueberries were my pick). Within a few minutes the bowl was finished being prepared by a worker. No pre-made bases were used which was positive, and the serving size was plentiful. If anything, it overfilled the rim to the point in which the honey was dripping on to the table where I sat and tried to consume some of the contents. The blueberries were fresh and made a nice topping. I am hopeful that Rush Bowls will draw enough customer traffic as the product I tried was at a level between four and five stars. read more

I'm honored to be the first to rave and share my Rush Bowls experience on day 5 of their opening. I've tried açaí bowls all over, but this place is in a league of its own. The quality of the ingredients is clearly top-tier and I say this because they showed me their kitchen. Pomegranate in the açaí bowl? Yes please! Everything is & tastes incredibly fresh and natural. But the real star of the show? The peanut butter. It is hands-down the best I've ever had; perfectly creamy and made in-house. Beyond the food, the customer service is excellent. The owners are kind and genuinely welcoming! They made me feel like a regular, or even family, from my first visit. We were sent home with the cutest doggy bow wow treat bowl and fresh peanut butter- Super generous and kind establishment. If you're looking for a healthy, delicious treat, this is the spot. Congrats on your opening Rush Bowls! We love your family read more

Such a great spot! You can really taste the difference with the quality of the ingredients. Everything is made with real, all-natural ingredients, and I love that they even make things like their house jam and fresh-ground peanut butter in-house. It definitely sets them apart. I also love that it's family-owned. It's always nice knowing you're supporting a local business while getting something that's both delicious and made with so much care. I'll definitely be back! read more

Come try Rush bowls here @ 1418 Garnet Ave. They are the best place to have your favorite acai or smoothies as a snack or dessert. It is healthy and extremely delicious. The service here is amazing, the staff are extremely friendly. They are also dog friendly so you can bring your best friend along for a treat. The vibe is incredible and atmosphere is marvelous. You can go to the gym, take a walk with friends family, walk your dogs while enjoying your favorite snack, or even enjoy pacific beach that is just down a couple blocks down. I recommend this place to anyone who loves Acai or even fruit smoothies. You will not be disappointed! 10/10 read more

Great new spot! Generous portions and tons of options. Sweet cream cold brew was perfect. The Chocolate Covered Strawberry bowl was a big hit. We also got a bowl that was half Beach & half High Tide. (special request they accommodated) One thing to note is the consistency is not thick like most places that serve straight out of a premade bucket.

Specialties

Life doesn't have to get in the way of healthy eating. We've redefined the concept of a quick meal by preserving the importance of nutrition. Our bowls and smoothies are nutrient-packed with up to 5 servings of fruits and vegetables and fully customizable boost options for extra protein, energy, antioxidants, and more!

History

Established in 2004.

Rush Bowls was launched in 2004, when founder, Andrew Pudalov, decided to leave the hustle and bustle of New York's financial scene to pursue his dream of creating a healthy, fast-dining restaurant that filled people's lives with honest ingredients and delicious recipes. As a result, Rush Bowls was born in Boulder, Colorado, offering meals crafted from the finest fruit, topped with granola & honey, and blended with protein, vitamins and other nutritious ingredients that taste delicious while promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Seating took a little while after opening, likely because they stagger new parties to avoid overwhelming the kitchen with orders all at once.

The food menu was just as fun and whimsical, and the waitstaff were all dressed to match the theme. Everyone was efficient, friendly, and helpful. We tried the soufflé pancakes, which were good, though they weren't quite as fluffy and jiggly as Japanese soufflé pancakes. They were also quite sweet on their own, so we didn't really need the syrup. We also ordered the cheese fondue plate, which came with steamed vegetables, kielbasa, and bread cubes--a really fun concept. Overall, the atmosphere is beautiful, playful, and definitely part of the experience. I'd happily come back if I'm in the area, especially if there isn't a long wait for a table.

The moment you step inside, the bi-level space makes a striking impression with its mid-century accents, exposed brick, and warm, moody lighting. It manages to balance a lively, energetic atmosphere with an effortless chicness that feels tailored for a memorable night out. The happy hour here is an absolute standout, featuring an expansive array of creative food options and crafted drinks. The menu brings an inventive Asian fusion twist to bar bites, offering flavor-forward small plates that pair seamlessly with the beverage program. The drinks deserve equal applause: the craft cocktails are meticulously balanced, and the signature ube-inspired cocktails are as vibrant and distinct as they are delicious. Adding to the venue's overall charm is the live music program. Catching live jazz, soul, and blues sets elevates the entire experience from a simple dinner run into a full sensory event. The music creates a vibrant, soulful backdrop without overpowering table conversation, striking just the right rhythm for intimate catch-ups or energetic group gatherings. Whether you are dropping in for a quick drink, indulging in a multi-dish happy hour spread, or lingering late for the live tunes and exceptional cocktails, Books & Records captures everything that makes CS Hospitality's concepts so special.

My wife ordered the sampler plate, and I had the Eggs Benedict. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Don't skip the specialty lattes--they were outstanding and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The prices were also very reasonable, especially compared with many of the restaurants near the Convention Center. The combination of great food, fun atmosphere, and good value makes this place an easy recommendation. I heard they're closing a few locations, so I'm really hoping this one stays open because it's a total gem. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in San Diego!

Rush Bowl San Diego: A Refreshing Oasis for Your Taste Buds! Rush Bowl San Diego is a vibrant and energetic spot that's perfect for fueling your body after a day of exploring the city. Their commitment to using fresh, quality ingredients shines through in every bowl and smoothie, making it a healthy and delicious choice for any time of day. The Aloha Bowl: A Tropical Paradise in a Bowl My recent visit was focused on the Aloha bowl, and it was a revelation! This vibrant bowl is a masterpiece of tropical flavors, featuring a creamy acai base topped with a colorful array of fresh fruits. I added their granola, and it provided the perfect crunch to complement the smooth acai. The addition of coconut flakes and a drizzle of honey tied all the flavors together, creating a truly refreshing and satisfying experience. A Community-Focused Space The space itself is bright and inviting, with a cheerful decor that perfectly reflects the San Diego sunshine. I was impressed by the "Fresh Peanut Butter Ground Daily" sign, which points to their commitment to making everything fresh. This was a clear indication that they go the extra mile to provide quality ingredients. I also appreciated the chalk art, including "Rush is Real" and a heart containing "P.B.V.R.B.," showcasing the local love and support for the business. read more

The bowls are gigantic (even the small is generous in my opinion). I had the banzai bowl with guava juice instead of what it typically comes with, it's delicious. I also love how they put some toppings at the bottom of the cup to keep it interesting. It's tasty and the service is quick. Staff have always been nice and chill. There is a small parking lot.

I have been going here for years and recommended to multiple friends who also ended up loving this place as much as I do. It's a tiny store in Mission Beach.

I hope they keep doing what they are doing for long time. The owner and all the employees are always very happy and smiling. Just a happy place with amazing food.

I think what truly ruined this experience was the wait (there weren't a lot of orders to begin with). The workers don't seem to have a sense of urgency and were chatting and chatting away. It took almost 40 mins to get 2 bowls. 30 mins of staring at them just talking to each other. If you're okay with that, it might be worth a try.

The ordering station is easy and clean - no human interaction needed. Unfortunately the smoothies fell pretty short. They just tasted like protein powder and didn't have great flavor.

I watched the worker make my drink and he just squirted three small shots of their matcha mix in my drink. Half the cup was filled with strawberry jam and the rest was milk, not even a layer of matcha. Not to mention he even noticed it looked bad too and just shrug and gave it to me, no cap or anything, I had to get my own. I did get my refund at the end, after waiting more than 15 minutes even though the sign posted outside "We'll be back in five minutes". No hard feelings, but I definitely don't recommend this place. I do help they can approve their service and products, best wishes.

It was a nice ambiance to sit and enjoy your juice and coffee. We ordered quite a bit of items as we were waiting for another member of our party to meet us here. The bathroom is beautifully and nicely decorated but they are super strict about using the bathroom even if you are a customer as they had a bathroom (there is a key you have to ask for) "wanted bandit sign"apparently for vandalizing it....which I understand however When another member of our party came, we went inside and the line was so long we decided to use the bathroom before ordering more, we were in there less than 5 minutes and the owner/manager knocked and knocked, I came out and apologized and asked if she knocked. She did apologize but said other people are waiting. I ordered another juice and was going to order sandwiches and acai bowls but felt like we probably were at cafe more than an hour and out stayed our stay. I understand as a business you have to be strict about the bathroom and that is their policy however if it is a juice/coffee place your customers are bound to use the restroom several times especially if they are continuing to order. Unfortunately, It did turn me away to try the food which I actually was looking forward to as they did offer organic croissant sandwiches. We decided to just choose another place to order food. I'll have to think about returning as we are always in La Jolla for yoga.

It was a large smoothie and they filled it above the rim of the cup. Although the smoothie was delicious, it was on the tart side, which was not a surprised given the amount of berries in the smoothie. It was well blended and slightly creamy. As hot as it was that day, it certainly was refreshing as well. I really liked the garnish of fresh berries and bee pollen on top as well. I would have liked to have gotten more flavors out of the almond milk and coconut milk. The place doubles as a surf shop as well or doubles as a cafe as well.

To match the name, different shades of green paint were applied liberally to the exterior and made it stand out from its neighbors. Parking was available curbside, or you could use a pay lot to the south of the building next to Starbucks. The inside had about half a dozen tables for seating. Two menu screens hung behind the service counter. Sandwiches, salads, acai bowls, smoothies, and some breakfast fare were offered. I chose the Turkey Avocado Crunch from the list of four sandwiches. The ingredients were sliced turkey, avocado, provolone, coleslaw, and tomato on sourdough bread. The order came with a choice of sweet potato fries, regular fries (my pick), or a side salad. The sandwich was sliced diagonally and placed in a takeout container with the french fries. The coleslaw provided a crunchy texture, hence the description in the item name. The fries were of the steak cut variety with light salt sprinkled on top. They were still warm from the fryer which made them more enjoyable. As we approach the summer season, there will certainly be sufficient foot traffic near this busy corner. I hope Green Fork can take advantage of the volume and succeed in the long term.

Apparently, Better Buzz believes in birthdays too because they sent me my free drink reward today. So of course, I had to stop by before work and pick up a, you guessed it... Pumpkin Spice Latte. There were a few cars on the drive-thru ahead of me, but the line moved quickly. I also noticed that Better Buzz now has egg bites, so I also ordered the Veggie egg bites to give them a try along with my iced PSL. When I got to the window, my drink was ready, the employee at the window was cheerful, and I paid $8.33 for my egg bites (which was a little steep), and then I was on my way to work. The egg bites came with a little spicy yogurt sauce which was a nice tough. Better Buzz says they make the egg bites, "fresh in house, every day using cage free eggs." The egg bites did indeed seem very fresh, and I enjoyed dipping them in the sauce to add a bit more depth of flavor to them. The PSL is as PSLs are... mildly aromatic, sweet, and heavily flavored with cinnamon and pumpkin notes. It was an enjoyable way to start the morning, although I will go back to my basic and boring Americanos tomorrow because I tend to shy away from sugar in my drinks to be able to enjoy a sweet treat at some point in the day. I guess this was my sweet treat for today! I think Better Buzz doesn't get the respect it deserves from locals and self-described coffee people. Sure, many of the drinks here are sweet and a bit extra, but BB also has solid espresso drinks without all of the the syrups and added stuff. They may not offer pretentious pour over coffee from some faraway place, but they are consistent, kind, and fun. Better Buzz is a great place to go for a coffee or tea drink, a refresher type drink, and or light bites. I still really appreciate their generous rewards program, and honestly, I'll be a fan for a long time to come. Peace.

BETTER BUZZ @ PACIFIC BEACH WEST…read more Parking can be a little tricky here. They do have paid parking right out front, but honestly, if you just turn down one of the side streets, there's plenty of free neighborhood parking. That's what I did, and I found a spot almost instantly with no time limit, which was super convenient. I visited around noon on a Thursday, and it was definitely pretty busy. I've never been to this Better Buzz location before, and I was honestly surprised by how many Better Buzz locations there are around Pacific Beach! This one is located right next to Moonshine Beach and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We ended up sitting inside, but all the windows were open, so it still had a really nice, airy atmosphere. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with nonfat milk, light ice, and added a scoop of protein powder. I've been trying to increase my protein intake lately, so I loved that they offered protein as an add-in. They also have a great selection of pastries, bakery items, smoothies, and their signature Best Drink Ever options. The staff were super friendly, and I placed my order online since the line was pretty long. It made the whole process quick and easy. As for the drink, I honestly wasn't the biggest fan. It was definitely something different, but I don't think I'd order it again. The café also didn't have as many outlets as I was hoping for if you're planning to work there. There were quite a few bugs and flies inside, and the tables were a little sticky when we first sat down. Overall, though, it still had a great vibe, and I would definitely come back to try something else on the menu.

I had the greens to go smoothie which I found a little chalky and you could still taste the protein powder a bit too much for my taste. I had the almond butter toast to use up a gift card, which was fine but I'm not sure I would personally pay $5.87 for it. I found this place a little bit inconvenient to go to since the hours on Google and Yelp are incorrect and they didn't have any hours posted on their door, but they open at 10am on Tuesdays and not 7am. I also found it odd that they bill themselves as "on the go" food, but you cannot order ahead for pick up. If you order ahead you still have to go to the register to pay, which makes it a less convenient option than other campus options that do allow pick-up. There is no seating inside, but there are close tables and chairs that are outside. Note: This is on the UCSD campus, so it's not very convenient to go to unless you are already on the campus as you have to pay for parking.
