Cafe Tropics - San Diego

Good food and drinks. Mostly vegan. Pleasant dining area. Friendly staff.Vegetarian options: Most sandwiches are vegan.

Pretty great place that has its vegan game down completely and it was so easy to walk from the big hotel next door. The food and coffee were amazing. I got a shot in the dark as well as a chagaccino, and both were delicious. The paninis were really good, too: the focaccia bread was some of the best I 've had. They also took my weird little reusable mug (Left my normal one behind and had to pivot). My only critique is please. Please use compostable plastic or alternative to plastic utensils. The to-go cups for coffee also are just purely plastic and it would be nice to have them be compostable. Both times I had brought my own utensils but I was given plastic ones anyway.

The food at this restaurant is absolutely amazing! I was blown away by the delicious açaí bowls - they were unlike any I've ever tasted. The fruit was so fresh and the portion sizes were just right. I highly recommend that everyone come here at least once. It truly exceeded all of my expectations!

The blonde girl working at the front of the restaurant at 9:30 am on 7/11/23 was extremely impolite. I accidentally dropped my smoothie bowl and made a mess. I apologized and offered to clean it up myself, but she sighed, rolled her eyes, and seemed annoyed that it happened. I understand, but if you see a customer struggling to put on the lid, it would be nice to offer help. Finding good help can be difficult these days. Best of luck to this small business.

This charming cafe is conveniently located near the bike and walking path around Mission Bay. We enjoyed the avocado toast and a small acai bowl, both of which were delicious.
