I'm SO SO SO happy they are open again! This was my favorite spot to grab lunch before the pandemic hit, and I was heart broken when they had to close. The owner is so sweet and personally sent me a message letting me know they were back in business at the 701 building. I of course had to grab lunch from them today! I had been craving their chicken Avocado wrap! My coworker and I shared the chicken Avocado wrap, and the burrata caprese salad. It was so fresh, and delicious! All the ingredients they use are top notch! I'm so glad we have a healthy cafe to eat at around here again!

Quality food/drinks, low prices, convenient location, and great service. One of my frequent stops for the "Green Machine" smoothie at lunch.

Delicious, fresh, and quality smoothies, juice, and food here. The service is great and consistent,…read moreI've been coming here since high school and it's been my favorite smoothie/ fruit place ever since. No chain açaí bowl place has been able to make me feel different. I'm so happy they have been in Hillcrest for so long and continue to provide their services. Some of my fav items are the Liv signature smoothie, the veggie sandwich, and the lentil soup. Even typing makes me want to go get some now. It saddens me to see some weird review complaining about the business when I've come literally over 100 times and have never had a negative experience what so ever. Some of these wannabe "top elites" are getting out of hand. It feels like bullying in the hopes of getting some kind of special treatment. Very weird behavior, I hope they stay far away so the rest of the customers/community can enjoy the shop because it's a gift to the block.

This place was AMAZING! Fresh ingredients in everything, my order was so good and I definitely want…read moreto come back. The store is small with decent seating, but we opted to sit outside in their little dining area. The staff are nice and prices were decent. I shared an açaí bowl and turkey sandwich with a friend and we were both so stuffed at the end! I also got a smoothie and it was very refreshing. The turkey sandwich came with a side of fruit and it was all sweet and fresh. Everything just felt so fresh and delicious and I will definitely come back!

Good option for some pastries, snacks or drinks…read more The park has lots of street vendors but we wanted to make sure we support the concessionaires so services are supported. We got lemonade which definitely helped on the hot day! There are seating available

Visited Fleet Museum and they only have a snack bar there (nachos and hotdogs were the only warm…read morefoods they offered). This spot is one of the only full service food spots close to Fleet with free entry. From the Fleet Museum we walked past the zoro garden over to the "casa de balboa" building where Cafe in the park is. Plan accordingly, we were there on valentines day around noon, it was very busy and took quite some time to get the food. We tried the Southwest chicken sandwich (had a slight kick to it if you're sensitive to spice like us, but my son and I loved it). My other son had the cheese pizza, he liked it. My friend had the veggie wrap and said it was good. They serve beer and wine as well. They have a small amount of indoor seating inside. I'd highly recommend to take your food and find a spot to eat outside. We sat around the fountain and it was really nice. There was also a lot of "street entertainment" in different areas of that long strip of buildings, like a couple groups of 2-3 people playing strings (acoustics sounded beautiful with the help of the covered hallways) and a funny guy doing magic tricks.

If you order and go run an errand while they make it, they will keep it in the fridge for you. They use reusable bags that are insulated! Very clean and cute interior. Like the little wooden bench.

What a great surprise! This place looks like a neighborhood market and convenience store from the…read moreoutside, but it's so much more. They have an impressive deli with made-to-order sandwiches, fresh salads, pizza, and plenty of grab-and-go options. The sandwiches were excellent and definitely the highlight of our visit. Everything tasted fresh, and it was the perfect spot to grab a quick bite before heading out to enjoy San Diego. It's clearly not much of a secret anymore with all the great reviews, and after visiting, I can see why. If you're looking for a delicious sandwich, a quick lunch, or food to take on a picnic while enjoying San Diego's beautiful weather, this is a fantastic choice. We'll definitely stop by again the next time we're in town.

Last night around 5pm I stopped in to grab sandwiches so I could get back to late-night work--and…read moremy office is just down the street, so this was the kind of place I expected to become a convenient regular stop. Unfortunately, the staff attitude was surprisingly rude. While I was standing there, a staff member walked behind me and twice said, "watch your back, sir." I'm a woman. Whether it was meant to provoke a reaction or passed off as a "joke," it came across as mocking and targeted, and none of the other staff appeared to check it or even acknowledge it. For a deli in the heart of Bankers Hill, you'd expect basic professionalism and courtesy. Instead, the vibe felt entitled and dismissive. I've been to other delis around town with far kinder service. I won't be returning.
