    The Funky Mix
    Miranda M.

    Came here one morning for drinks with a friend! Located near Mission Beach, this little spot is adorable. Some tables outside, inside, and little bar seating inside. The menu includes juices, smoothies and breakfast items. I ordered a large The Funky Mix (Dandelion, Pear, Celery, Pineapple, Kale, Green Apple, Lemon, Ginger and Coconut Water) as the coconut water was as much needed. I liked it a lot but it didn't mix as well as I'd hoped. Still delicious! The order was ready pretty quickly and the person who served me was really nice.

    Avocado Toast and Acai Bowl

    Luckily the next time we stopped by the Funky Lemon they were open and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast. I ordered avocado toast and it was the best avocado toast and I've ever had. So much avocado, so many fresh greens and the egg was cooked to perfection. The bread was delicious as well. Hubs had their Acai Bowl and loved it as well. Super cute spot! Bummer, arrived for a bite at 12:50 on a Wednesday and they were closed. Luckily it was only a 5-minute walk, so I didn't waste too much time. Would have given 1 star, but perhaps there was a good reason to close early? Probably would be good to update your hours on Ggl maps, tho, if you're going to close early...

    Funky Lemon is a cute spot on the corner serving smoothies, coffee, acai bowls, and hot breakfast items. The hubby and I ordered an acai bowl and a coconut bowls which were both delightful and flavorful. They were packed with fresh fruit, granola, honey, and he added peanut butter to his Acai bowl. Service was solid, they were quite busy but churning out orders. The shop itself is cozy but they have seating at the window and a few small tables inside. Best view of course is the ocean which is just a block away, so grab a bite and take it to go and sit along the wall and take in the waves.

    Doing Me açaí bowl - super delicious! And super cute shop generally

    Best (beef) empanada I have ever had. No exaggeration. It wasn't dry and the onions/bell pepper/spice combo was literally perfect. In addition to the insanely delicious empanada, we ordered the Zen Breakfast Burrito, the Avoca-duh Toast with a fried egg, and the Doing Me acai bowl. At first I was concerned that our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we had ordered too much between the two of us... but we finished every single crumb. The establishment itself is super small but also super cute and well decorated - very "insta friendly", if you will. The the service was great and the team was very kind. Every single thing we ordered was absolutely delightful and I am so excited to go back to The Funky Lemon to try another dish and maybe some of their drinks.

    I really liked The Funky Lemon, which was within walking distance of our Mission Beach Airbnb. It had a breezy vibe and an extensive menu. I loved the bowls so much that I came back twice during our week's stay. My fav was the Doing It bowl, piled high with fruit. What a great way to start the beach day!

    Decent coffee. Some seating inside. Service was ok. More milk to coffee ration on the latte but it was decent.

    Cute neighborhood cafe. I enjoyed my breakfast, my order come out fast and hot. My wellness shot was delicious. I didn't get photos of the food, but from what I saw the bowls were beautiful, and the staff was so welcoming and nice. This is a must when in the area.

    What a vibe! Come in and hang out for a few minutes while you enjoy a refreshing, healthy, and guilt free juice or smoothie. Of course they have coffee and acai bowls and other stuff too but we didn't get to those. The barista was so incredibly helpful and friendly. Seems like a genuine and fun person and we really appreciated his kindness and energy. You can't go wrong with any smoothie and ours was very enjoyable. You'll feel better after haha Drinks: 8/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 9/10 Value: 7/10

    Oh Honey! and Easy Peasy Lemon Squezy

    We stopped here on our beach walk and got the Oh Honey! and Easy Peasy Lemon Squezy smoothies. Oh Honey is light and refreshing and the Easy Peasy Lemon Squezy is very tart/sour and good for anyone who loves lemon. Would recommend!

    Too much head/ foam . This was the liquid content of the drink the feast was the foam 24oz cup . Very delicious though
    Cj J.

    Already honestly the only reason why they're getting minus one star is because of the head/ foam in my drink of 24 oz probably 16 of it was foam. See photos . The drink was delicious. It was definitely what I needed for my morning run. Service was amazing and quick . The location was perfect and ideal to my run . The shop itself was beautiful inside .

    Soooo cute everything yummy! 10/10

    Cute interior!

    This is the coolest place with an amazing and unique menu! Everything came out perfect and they were so kind. The smoothie bowls were yummy, the breakfast sandwiches hit the spot and the coffee was great. Bonus points for being dog friendly, too - treats and all. Def check it out!!

Waited for about 5 minutes and was greeted by a gentleman who took my order I got a decaf, dirty, iced vanilla chai. It was good but not a lot of chai flavor. Not overly sweet which is good I also ordered the ham and cheese stuffed croissant. I think they just warm it up. And I think it was overdone. The cheese had come out and was burnt, which is OK cause I like burnt cheese. But the end of the croissant was hard and edible. Overall it's a great option if you're local and looking for a cafe that's walkable with lots of seating. But I wouldn't go through the effort of finding parking to visit. To the business owner: I have a handicap placard that was clearly visible in my windshield. But I'm happy that you showed other customers who are as a business owner and why they should not frequent your business. As you can see from my picture the croissant was not edible. Address that instead of worrying about the parking and making false claims online. Thanks

The store carries products from some of my favorite local vendors that I usually only find at the farmers market, along with a great selection of unique drinks and specialty items.

The store was well organized, fully stocked, and easy to browse. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. While some items are a bit pricier than what you'd find at a traditional grocery store, the quality and clean ingredients make it well worth the cost. It's a great place to discover healthier options and support local brands at the same time. They also offer a membership for just $15 per year, which seems like a great value if you plan to shop there regularly. I'll definitely be stopping by again!
