Definitely a hidden gem. Service is nice and they carry local items. Store is small but well stocked and prices range from fair to pricey, but given that it is organic, local health food store they have to charge a bit more. Great little gem. Prices are still affordable for organic, healthy food.

One of the original San Diego County breweries since 1987. They have taken over the whole block expanding into an outdoor Beer Garden setting with 20+ rotating beers brewed on site. The pizza is also one of our favorites! A great compromise between thin NY & thicker Chicago style - with excellent fresh ingredients! enJoy!!
