This place has such a laid back, young La Jolla vibe going. The art, succulents, and lights really help with that and add a great aesthetic. On to the food! I had my first acai bowl here and it was much better than I expected! I'm not a fan of bananas, but the honey, nuts, and coconut were delicious toppings. It was huge and very refreshing on hot day, definitely a good alternative to ice cream or froyo if you can deal with something not as sweet.
I met the lovely Sondra Santos Drahos here for coffee -- and my first-ever acai bowl. To be clear: I can be a cold-brew snob. I like it black and bitter (like my soul?), and this place did not disappoint. The service was great, too -- mostly young kids, but they were very polite and helpful. And the MASSIVE acai bowl was delicious! I loved the combination of the coconut and cashews. Again, it was my first bowl so I have nothing to compare it to, but I left a very happy camper. Also, I'm super weird and took pictures of the cool painted map of La Jolla they had...in the bathroom. This was a great local place with lots of character. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!
We tried Shore Thing on our first morning in La Jolla and had such a positive experience that we ate there for either breakfast or lunch every day of our week-long trip. Plenty of fresh ingredients & healthy menu items to choose from - as a vegetarian, I was especially pleased with the Field sandwich made as a wrap with some quinoa added & the breakfast sandwich with avocado on the seedy ciabatta was a great meal to start the day. we also tried the homemade granola bars - a nice snack when hiking around the coast. the folks working at Shore Thing were very friendly & made great recommendations. great little spot - I wish we had one back home!
