As I start to write this review, I'm still thinking of the amazing Salad Kofi made me…read more I stopped by the local market in downtown La Jolla and passed by word of mouth kitchen booth. As someone who is starting a new health kick, I asked him to surprise me with whatever he wants. Let's just say, my salad was hands down the best I've had in a very long time. You seriously could not buy this anywhere but from him. I call it the Natashas salad: Grilled mushrooms with fresh herbs, salmon and shrimps over a bed of kale and spinach with splashes of quinoa, broccoli, green beans, tomato, onion and a zesty dressing. IT WAS PERFECT. the meat was cooked to perfection, the greens were raw and crispy, the veggies refreshing and alive in my salad. I know what your thinking, it's just a salad, but once again the best salad you will ever have I promise. Stop by and give him a try!

Luckily, I finally found my chance to come back to visit San Diego and Rolling Out Cafe was naturally on my to-visit list. Despite only having met us twice, Bruno immediately recognized as we entered and warmly welcomed us back in. I'm glad to see that his space here seems much larger and spacious, and that his pastries must still be very popular - we got there around 11:30am and a few things we were hoping to get - namely the mango sticky rice kouign amann - were already sold out. No problem though, everything at Rolling Out Cafe is a delightful treat! We got an apple lychee croissant, strawberry and blueberry mochissant, and a key lime mochi egg tart - and Bruno threw in an extra strawberry mochissant for us too! -apple lychee croissant: this is one of my favorites, the combination of apple and lychee is just so tasty and unique and Bruno does not skimp out on the filling! -mocchissants: delightful as always - I'm glad ingot to introduce some friends to it for the first time and we all marveled and tried to guess how he gets those nice flaky crisp layers while still keeping the soft butter mochi-esque inside. -mochi egg tarts: these are new to me, and I really liked it too! Definitely a unique texture, and it's a little unexpected biting into what looks like a regular egg tart and getting a nice tart key lime with the richness of an egg tart and the chewiness of mochi. Super fun and tasty to eat! If you haven't been to Rolling Out Cafe yet, definitely come visit and try some of the most unique mochi pastries around! Bruno is such a sweetheart and San Diego is lucky to have him here :)

Sammich House has become one of my go-to lunch spots when I'm working downtown. I've tried several…read moreitems on the menu, but the Reuben and the C Street are easily my favorites. What keeps me coming back is that the sandwiches are actually substantial. They're packed with ingredients, the bread-to-filling ratio is spot on, and they always have enough sauce to keep everything flavorful without being messy or dry. Most of the time I can only finish half and save the rest for later. I also appreciate that many of the sandwiches come with a small side salad instead of just chips. It's a nice touch and makes the meal feel a little more balanced. The shop itself is casual, clean, and the staff has always been friendly. If you're looking for a solid sandwich spot in East Village, this one is definitely worth checking out.

It had all the elements of a great cinnamon roll, minus the cinnamon, but with a terrific pistachio cream and bits of fresh pistachio as well. It was a great pistachio roll.

The service was friendly. The offer inside seating.

I was walking around downtown and happened to stumble upon this spot, which was a nice surprise…read more The cashier mentioned they have been open for about six months, so it still feels like a relatively new addition to the area. The dessert display was really eye catching, and everything was arranged in a way that made you want to try a little of everything. It had a relaxed, casual vibe that works well whether you are just grabbing something to go or sitting down for a quick treat. I ordered the Napoleon for $7.99, although it was honestly hard to choose because all of the desserts looked so tempting and beautifully presented. That said, I personally was not a fan of their version of the Napoleon. I was expecting a more traditional take, but theirs had a caramel element I believe that changed the flavor profile quite a bit. It was not bad, just different from what I had in mind. Overall, I would still be open to coming back. The ambiance and presentation alone make it worth another visit, and I would love to try some of their other desserts next time.

Great people serving great food!…read more The team at Gooseberries Kafe serves scratch-made breakfast, lunch and baked goods in a community-focused cafe. While it's surrounded by a number of well-known restaurants, this place offers an experience that's unique and satisfying all-around. My wife and I spent a weekend at the hotel located above Gooseberries. Partially due to convenience, we opted to head downstairs for breakfast and received a warm welcome from the owner. We opted for espresso and the French Toast which raised a high bar for any nearby breakfast joints! It's made from their house charcoal bread and complimented with a tangy gooseberry jam and maple syrup. We were so impressed by breakfast that we returned for lunch and shared avocado toast, a breakfast biscuit and roasted vegetables. With every bite we could tell that a lot of care, dedication and precision went into preparing our meal. It was very much appreciated! We even took some of the charcoal bread home for the following week. I'm happy to give Gooseberries my full endorsement and I hope others can enjoy it as much as we did.

Which I thought was interesting (: I actually found this place because of Instagram, I was skeptical. But I actually really enjoyed my food, drinks, and time here. The workers were all patient and very kind. I think the interior could use a little more work, to be more cohesive with their branding but for the most part it is cute. They have lots of indoor seating and some outdoor as well. We got one of their schiaccita sandwiches- it was called Il Siciliano: Mortadella di pistachio, capocollo, salami di Genova, provolone, muffelatta, pepperoncini, tomato oil and vinegar. This sandwich was pretty big and I had enough to share between 2 other people and leftover for the next day! It was $17. They were generous with the meat and other condiments, but I wish they added something to each of the sides of the bread-- when I got home I added some mayo and red pepper pesto. It took it to another level! I loved how perfectly toasted they had the sandwich. It was really good, there were also slices of tomato in it. I also ordered an Iced Honey & Cinnamon Latte, I didn't have high expectations for it but it was actually very good!! They use La Colombe Coffee-- I read on their website. The cinnamon and honey were both fragrant without being overpowering and it was espresso forward which I loved. My brother had a Cold Brew and said it was ok. I also ordered one of their sparkling blood orange drinks ~$5, and I really enjoyed it! All in all, it was a lovely place to come to. And I would recommend for you to come check it out as well! They have breakfast items, coffee, tea, sandwiches, etc.

That's the question we have to ask ourselves. I ordered the Il Siciliano: Mortadella di pistachio, capocollo, salami di Genova, provolone, muffelatta, pepperoncini, tomato oil & vinegar. Some of the toppings like tomato oil & vinegar were a bit too overpowering for my liking. I know there's a lot or commotion on social media but aesthetics plays a role. I recommend but I'm in between a 3 or 4 stars. The end.
