    Vegan comfort food candy.
    Elias T.

    The manager, Ki, is a nice guy with an awesome mission: To bring Vegan food to the masses in North County San Diego. He's got a lot of vegan foods you normally would not be able to find in other local stores like Sprouts or Albertsons (Albertsons--you're getting worse about it, not better!). One thing I like is that he always has Beyond Steak in stock, which is hard to find in a lot of local places and I like to use it for stir fry or vegan carne asada fries for example. He's a cool guy that likes to have a personal connection with his customers. I think that's a great thing, and it's something many small business owners neglect--but not Ki! I guarantee you'll find some items at this store that you've never seen before. For Vegans, its an excellent place to visit to try something new. The same could be said about "normies" that eat meat who decide to come here--Great place to try something new and maybe even take the first steps in your vegan journey. If you're open minded to vegan food, you'll love this place.

    I visited Thousand Petal Lotus today, and was really impressed. The store is clean, well-organized, and offers a nice range of products: frozen foods from major brands (Beyond, JUST, Yo Egg, Blackbird pizza), cheeses and deli slices, spices, cleaning products, snacks, candies - even Uncle Eddie's vegan cookies. The owner, Ky, was very friendly and welcoming. I wish I'd visited sooner, but now that I know what I was missing, I'll definitely be coming back!

    Let me start off by saying place is adorable. This is just a review for the to-go-box of 4 s'mores…read morefor $20. Absolutely not worth it. The kit comes with 4 small size regular marshmallows (nothing home made) and 4 TINY pieces of chocolate that wouldn't even cover one s'more. It's all Graham cracker one marshmallow and a smidge of chocolate. See photos. Yes they include a tiny bit of caramel sauce and peanut butter sauce on the side, but I'm sorry, these don't even make complete s'mores. More expensive ingredients...ok. But not including enough to make an ok s'more is odd. The Graham crackers are also run of the mill. Maybe try the s'mores made there? A take home kit your better off getting a bag of large marshmallows, higher end grahams and a nice block of fancier chocolate for $20. I have ZERO problem spending premiums on food and good ingredients...but this kit is a rip off do not do it.

    Was walking through the Shoppes at Carlsbad when I noticed this store in the corner, right across…read morefrom the children's play area on the 1st floor. I'm not really a s'mores person, but wanted to check it out since it was new. The owner (I presume) said they've been open for about 3 months now. Décor was cute inside. They have kits you can purchase or you can order individual s'mores. They have a vegan option too, so you'll have plenty to choose from. Good service. Small s'mores, but I guess the vegan and organic ingredients make them a bit on the pricier side ($7-8/s'more). Not complaining, just thought they would be a bit bigger. But I guess I don't need the extra spike in blood sugar anyway, so it's all good. The Classic was good. I ordered mine with oat milk chocolate. This place is still new, so hope folks check it out. It reminded me of a s'mores shop in Portland, Oregon.

    I discovered Paulman Acre hot sauces at Pepper Farm Deli in Santee. I was waiting on a flatbread…read morethat I had ordered to go when I spied the display of hot sauces. So I grabbed a couple. Fermented Garlic Hot Sauce - A Black Garlic Fermented Sauce. La Pistola - A Smoked Strawberry Habanero Sauce. La Pistola is a collaborative effort between Paulman Acre and J's Hot Sauce. From Pepper Farm Deli I had the Chicken Chipotle Flatbread. When I arrived home I ate a slice of the flatbread. It was really, really good. When I put a few drops of the Fermented Garlic hot sauce on it, it took it to another level. A hot, garlicky level. My taste buds exploded. I nearly emptied the bottle on the rest of the flatbread. Holy shit! Superb. The following morning I made myself a bacon and habanero smoked gouda omelet. I thought that the La Pistola might work well with it. Wow! I've rarely been so right. Smoky, sweet with heat. It played so well with the habanero gouda. I'm going to try it in the smoker with wings! Well, as soon as I get a new bottle. Go online, get some! https://www.paulmanacre.com/ I've listed the ingredients for each below. They are unique and all natural. Fermented Garlic Hot Sauce: Chili Peppers (Red Savina, Scotch Bonnet, Habanero), Bell Peppers, Vinegar, Shallots, Water, Citrus Juice, Black Garlic, Coconut Oil, Salt, Agave Nectar, Black Truffle, Spices. La Pistola: Habanero Peppers, Apple Wood Smoked Strawberries, Water, Champagne Vinegar, Red Wine Vinegar, Garlic, Agave Nectar, Yellow Onions, Salt, Leon Basil, Silver Tequila, Spices. .

    I was on the prowl for a good hot sauce for a while. I think it's because I've been watching "Hot…read moreOnes" online and it made crave something really spicy and delicious. Well luckily for me, I ran into their booth in Oceanside. I ran the gauntlet and tried all the sauces and loved them! So here I am at breakfast, pouring different sauces over my eggs with sweat dripping down my head and I love it! It's flavorful but not just tons of vinegar like other sauces.
