“Very healthy feeling açaí bowl! Love that they make it on the spot for you. Got the cacao bliss and it was very yummy and good service as well. Pretty expensive place but that's to be expected. Would come back to try some of their juices and smoothies“
“The owners at Van Dyke are so friendly. I visited at the recommendation of a friend. It's located in a business complex, and parking is paid, but they validate. Some of the drinks are named after their regulars, which is what we ordered. I love strawberry-chocolate anything, so Spencer's was right up my alley. Inki's was really good too. There's so much room for seating, and I love the ambiance--it's so open. It was great to stay and study. We also were given a cookie on the house, which was enormous and took me days to eat (but it stayed perfectly good). We will be back!!“
“This is my absolute favorite place to eat in Southern California! The flavors and quality of the food & smoothies are the absolute best. Everything I have ever tried is so delicious and healthy! Your body is fueled with such nutritious food that is full of flavor, you won’t be disappointed. I moved to another State and always eat at Vibe whenever I visit. So so good! The Jack fruit tacos are my favorite.Kid-friendliness: My kids love the Jack fruit tacos & the berry waffles!“
“This was my first açaí bowl and it was amazing! I didn't know what to pick or how it worked, so I appreciated the woman working there helping me. I got the small build your own size. I had açaí and ube bases. I added banana, strawberry, blueberries, nuts, almond butter, Nutella, granola. There were so many options! This was great for walking around with while exploring Huntington Beach.“
“This place is amazing! I was about to update my review when I discovered I never wrote one! Yikes, live been here at least 10 times, have had different sandwiches and burgers they are all amazing. I love their Taco Tuesday menu. The in house sauces are some the best I've had in a while. Service is quick and responsive to needs. Freddy makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for outstanding food this place is for you.“
“Excellent service, incredible music, açai and perfect food. I recommend Sao Paulo smoothie with coxinha and beef empanada ❤️Vegetarian options: Except chicken coxinha and beef empanadas, everything is vegetarianParking: There is a big parking lot there“
“Love, love love the spice level and the generous portions! If you're a classicist, go for the avocado toast -- who doesn't love avocado toast.The food is great, the service is friendly enough but the atmosphere is a little too strip mall.Recommend the Bombay Bowl, it's filling and has complex flavors. A smoothie is always another good choice.“
“The meal and atmosphere were incredible. The staff member Topher was very polite and knowledgeable about the food. The missus got a bowl and it tasted refreshing and invigorating. Meanwhile, my Empanada was a perfect blend of savory and tangy with hot sauce added. Certainly recommend!“
“Luv Nutrition is one of my favorite places. So much so, I come almost once a week! Their shakes, teas, and donuts all taste amazing and exactly as described on their menu. And the best part is they don't have that powdery texture to them. The owners are wonderful people. They're so personable and treat everyone that comes in like family. If you're looking for a place for protein shakes, look no further. Luv is the easily the best in OC. Both in food and service. Go support this locally owned business!“
“Organic juice & superfood smoothie bar!! Most places do not sell organic or fresh ingredients so no thank you. But this place is quality and everything I’ve tried taste amazing!! ? not many place like this in Orange County and they deliver :) thank you !“
“Place is amazing! Super friendly staff and super super delicious. I got a bowl and it was amazing, place is super clean and has an amazing vibe. Miranda helped me and she was amazing and super friendly. She's absolutely amazing at her Job and made my bowl super quick and it was delicious. Would highly recommend.“
“Drove through Newport on the way back home and found this amazing smoothie spot. Everything I look for in a smoothie spot: ton of options, juices, fresh smelling, great ambiance, friendly staff. Had the Earth, Roots & Fire, my gf had the Hawaiian Sunset. Both were amazing. When I got back to San Diego realized had left my phone at the shop! Contacted Allie who was incredible. It was late in the day but Allie was so gracious and accommodating, went next day to the post office and had it shipped. Was already a fan of this place but the effort to go above and beyond sealed it. Great place, couldn't recommend more highly.“
Juice • $$
“I was introduced to Vita cane with my sister and I were in Denver and we wanted sugarcane juice. Lo and behold, there would be one within 15 minutes from my home in Huntington Beach. I had been meaning to come, but never had the time to until one day I drove by and decided YOLO. I grabbed a pennywort for me and a fruity orange one for my SO. Both were SO good. It was his first sugarcane juice so we decided to go fruity. Pennywort is always a fav of mine. While there, I had the pleasure of talking with the owner and I guess this is the only sugarcane juice in the area that splurges on organic sugarcane. Juices are freshly made to order and sooo worth it. Acai bowls are on the cheaper side. I had them in Denver and plan to have one from here as well soon! Place is clean and quiet. I'd imagine good for studying if I was still a student.“
“I just love the pastries and the smoothies. My favorite combination is the Sao Paulo Acai smoothie with a ham and cheese empanada. The Madley Mango bowl is also a good choice. And the staff is super friendly! It's one of my favorite spot for sure!“
“These smoothies are delicious and filling. I've come in a few times already but recently had kind help downloading the app from Suzanne. She was a big reason I decided to come back after my first visit. The place is always very clean and open, and the menu has just enough variety to give everybody something to try while not being overwhelming. Plus, it always feels like I'm paying for quality without spending an unreasonable amount. Will be making this my go-to stop!“
Coffee & Tea • $
“I came back to Ding Dong for the second time with my boyfriend, the milky flan is now my favorite shave ice. Their ice noodles is very unique and it visually pretty. The inside give out a very cute vibe with tables to sit and sofas as well. The service was good, the staff took our order even though they almost close and gave us a generous amount of everything. He even asked if I can eat peanut and asked for my opinion after I left. Definitely coming back again!“
“They just opened barely about a month ago! The owner was so sweet she offered free iced coffee on the house, but me and my boyfriend had matcha somewhere else. I loved the energy and the brief explanation of the bagel I asked for! I got the #1: 5th Ave bagel! It is so good with the salmon! If you want a mini lunch, with a lot of portions, this is it! Thank you again!“
“Love Esther’s! She has the best sandwiches and soup. My go to is her chicken salad sandwich with a cup of soup. SOUPER yummy ?Cash, zelle or venmo only so comePreparedShe’s located in the Old World shopping center! So glad I found her again.“
“I just visited 'TASTE of Brazil Cuisine' for the first time, and I must say, it was a culinary revelation. I ordered a sandwich and an empanada, not expecting to be blown away, but that’s exactly what happened. The flavors were so unique that my taste buds went wild with every bite. I highly recommend this place to anyone who values authentic culinary experiences. I will definitely be back for more. Cheers and see you again!“
“Amazing and comforting place! I will always recommend this place when eating with friends, family, significant others, etc. Food is delicious, fresh, and good portion sizes for the prices. The complimentary dessert is delicious and warm as well. The staff is also very polite and welcoming. I also appreciate how delicious the food can be to go. Most places have their to go food not as good quality but I can taste the quality the same when dining in and when I bring it home. Give it a try!“
“The bagels and cream cheese are absolutely delicious!! The cream cheese is so smooth and creamy. Bagels have a nice crust and great soft dough inside without being chewy or cake-like. I had an everything bagel with chive cream cheese and my husband had an asiago bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. The chives and jalapeños were fresh and packed with flavor. Both tasted great. Staff were very nice. Coffee was a little bit too strong for me, but very smooth and flavorful nonetheless. We were fortunate the one (and only) table outside was free, so we got to eat and enjoy the sunshine. We'll definitely be back. Just wish they had an actual cafe with seating to enjoy eating on premise!“
“Came here after a beach day and was craving a smoothie. It's hard to find places with quality smoothies that are not inside grocery stores or chains. This place has a ton of options and we tried the Aloha and Fiji one and both were insanely delicious. I preferred the Fiji one due to the coconut but the Aloha one was just as delicious. It's a small shop located in a plaza with plenty of parking. It's easy to get to and the service was fast. Ambiance was great and I will definitely be coming here again!“
“The food is amazing! I will definitely be going back. Only thing I would change is make it more restaurant style service, meaning I’m able to sit down and have the waitress take my order. It’s a little awkward ordering at the counter ?♂️ Other than that the food was out quick and the quality was “
“Vegetarian options: Nearly all menu options can be vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: If you are in a group that wants different things like chow mein, ramen, pho, fried rice, or curry then you're good coming here. All noodle bowls are delivered with the water sperate so if someone is late, that is fine. Highly recommend!“
“This place definitely satisfied my acai smoothie craving! I was in the mood for something refreshing after my workout and saw this place nearby. It's located inside this indoor market with a bunch of different shops. It's a self-order place with no cashier (at least when I went) which was convenient and quick! the person that handed me my order was super nice! At first i felt skeptical about the price since its $10 for a smoothie, but I was pleasantly surprised with how much they give you. It was a HUGE portion- I ended up sharing it with partner and it was a good amount for the both of us. The flavor was great and I could tell they use fresh ingredients. Overall, I would come back to this place if I was in the area!“
“I recently required a replacement of my car's windshield and received repair facilities that spoke highly of Coast Auto Glass. I wasn't disappointed with their very professional repair service giving me a complete explanation of their service which proceeded with no problems. Their service was excellent and I highly recommend their customer support and flawless work. I“
“I used to go here all the time when I lived in Costa Mesa and I still think about their almond blend smoothie ? Their staff is kind and their drinks are consistently delicious and filling!Vegetarian options: You can substitute whey protein for plant based and they have non-dairy milk as well!“
“really cute shop with a screen where you can order and pay yourself. the owner is super sweet and interactive with customers and checks to make sure that you like your drink. she makes sure to ask if you’ve ever had any of the ingredients before (ex. fresh taro). would definitely recommend coming here. would give 10 stars if i could“
“Come here if you like mangos! Pretty fun place with a lot of coconut mango related drinks and dessert items. I really like mango coconut drinks with sago and they have it but the slushy coldest tends to freeze the sago and making it frozen instead of soft. The service staff is very friendly and will make special accommodations if asked. I hope this place stays open for a long time.“
“The drink was really good. The space was odd being located next to two other cafes. Just like other mainstream boba shops, starting to see the trend of self automated ordering rather than talking to a person which I find out of place in a location like the SOCO mix where they make it feel more personable and small business friendly. The drink came out good and definitely more of a quick grab and go spot, but have to find their spot first. Worth trying if your around.“
“I've been visiting this spot since they opened. Their food is delicious, well-made, and of course. Healthy. I get different variations of the avocado toast along with the healthy veggies sandwich. I absolutely love their almond butter smoothie. Their natural juices are also tasty. My boyfriend loves ordering chicken and turkey sandwiches from here, as well. The service is attentive and very polite. No complaints. The owner is sometimes at the shop, and he's very knowledgeable on any of the food items. The tables are always clean. I also like that they play so jazz and pop music to add character to the ambiance. Definitely a 5/5 star rating. Happy camper!Vegetarian options: They have a wide variety of options for the healthy conscientious.“
“I love to go to Active Culture every time I’m in the Newport area. They have very original healthy options like the LB bowl and the Chocolate Bliss shake. The yogurt and açaí bowls are so good too. I like to get an LB bowl to go because the brown rice, apples, dates, prosciutto and cheese hold up well while traveling and I can eat it anytime I get hungry. Close to the ocean and sitting outside on a nice day is heavenly.“
“The BEST Açaí bowl I've had in Orange County (And I've been to a lot of places ) Always super delicious and loaded with good stuff and the portions are very generous! I highly recommend the Peanut butter, almond butter, and tropical bowls!“
“This place is fantastic and the best bubble tea/boba place at UTC.The quality is consistently good, and they have lots of choices on the menu.I really appreciate the speed of service and the line moves quickly when there is one.Lots of off the menu options too!“
“Pur Bowls definitely became one of my new fav acai spots in the OC area! We came here on a whim while looking for something light to eat before dinner.I was really impressed by how big of a variety they had, when it came to bases, fruits, nut butters, etc... luckily they had a create your own option! We got a 16 oz to share. I was able to try the acai and pur coco (aka blue coconut) bases and both were absolutely delicious and refreshing. They had 4 types of chia puddings to choose from (vanilla, matcha, cocoa, and turmeric cinnamon). We went for the vanilla and it was light and sweet!Toppings are unlimited so the creations you can make are limitless. The space is small and quaint, but has ample seating available for smaller groups.“
“?????Great little place next to The MMA Studio & International India Bazaar...The service by Carolina Torres & Adam Caamano was wonderful...I was greeted with warmth & big smiles, extremely knowledgeable of the items, very helpful, polite, curtious, place was very clean...I ordered a Perrier Water, Chicken Coxena & Beef Empanada...All was great, however, beef needs bit spicening up...Alot of phone orders & take-out, but unfortunately no cash transactions are permitted...“
“I found this place thru Google. I'm so glad I did because their smoothies are really good. It filled me up after a workout. ESPECIALLY on the days I'm plan not to eat, I'm replacing it with Sam's Smoothie. It gets me going for the day. This place is located inside a gym and is very looks clean. This is forever go to place for meal replacement. Try it out.“
“Got my order delivered by ubereats and it was so yummy! I got the Pb Acai Bowl and a juice. For the bowl I subbed the peanut butter for almond butter and added vegan protein.Super yummy and healthy! The quality of ingredients and the presentation was great.“
“Coffee Dose is always a good vibe! I had a great experience today, Gaby that took my order was so pleasant and extremely helpful. I really love all the variety of merchandise that they sell, and I think it’s all well priced including their menu items. Coffee is truly excellent. It’s a nice light atmosphere with a wide variety of patrons. Ranging from moms with their kids, students, to people coming in after their work out for some food. it’s a really nice place to catch up with a friend, go on a first date, or just sit in people watch. I highly recommend! Even if you have to wait a couple minutes for parking, something always opens up. The whole shopping center is really nice to hang out in & the outdoor patio is lovely.“
“I love everything about Earrhbar! The staff is always so amazing - the manager Marcus is great! And the smoothies and food they offer are soooo delicious and I always feel great after eating / drinking anything I get from there. It's one my weekly stapes :)“
“Went and got a Korean style lunch, the gochujjang pork rice bowl. It's was fine. Nothing special and very pricy for what it was. When I got there it was empty but it filled up quickly with blizzard employees. There are Korean side dishes that look homemade in the refrigerators for sale. I thought they were expensive too but ymmv.“

“FRESH fruit! Sometimes the fruit can be so so at açaí places. But we really enjoyed our bowls. The price for the amount was fair and just tasted really good! Size small bowl you get 2 bases and the medium you get 3 bases. Decent amount of places to sit inside and enjoy your food. The mango base was very good, not too sweet but great flavor. Definitely a good spot to hit up before the beach or after! Parking is just if you can find it... paid or not. But for the most part you should be good.“
“Been going to this bakery for over 10 years now on the annual Newport vacation. Not gonna lie....looks like a total "hole-in-the-wall" place but the service is fast, the people there are friendly, and the food is super delicious! Prices are very fair as well.“
“I absolutely love Jan's. The sandwiches here are so fresh and tasty - my favorite is the chicken salad sandwich. I love getting my order to go and heading to the nearby beaches for lunch. Jan's is the BEST addition to the any beach day.“
“I got the double green w 75% sweetness and no boba. I thought it was really delicious and loved the combination of honeydew and matcha. Thought the pudding texture was pretty interesting because it drank w a thicker grainy consistency instead of smooth as I had expected but was very tasty and not too sweet. I think I maybe could have gone down to 50% without losing tastiness and might try that next time. I also loved that the cashier/barista offered me a sample of their california(?) drink and it was also really delicious; it was a sweet coconut milk taste w maybe subtle fragrant notes of a fruity tea taste. Definitely would come back to either get the sand drink or try something new!“
“I had the best customer service today from Kyle. I usually get classic milk tea but wanted to try something different today. Kyle explained it well and went with winter melon green milk tea. It turn out really good. By far, this is my favorite location out of all (based on drink taste)“
“My favorite place to get sugarcane juice! I always get the mia quat, which is the OG of sugarcane juice. I used to get that at a different place when I was younger, but Mia Juicery is convenient for me now. I haven't tried the other concoctions, only because I like the traditional drink. The workers are always nice, friendly, and mellow. It's small inside with limited seating. It's not really a hangout place, just grab and go.“
“The chai latte was so so good, and the orange cranberry muffin was the best I've ever had. The shop is small, simple and clean. The staff was kind and considerate, especially when asking for recommendations. Perfect quick grab by the pier :)“
“Great Açaí bowls, smoothies, sandwiches! Stopped in for breakfast for the family and wasn’t disappointed. Service was friendly and fast and our order was made fresh. You can taste the quality of ingredients and the passion for great tasting, healthy food in every bite. Well worth a stop!“
