Lush Lounge

Love this place. They make it easy by letting you call in your order. I highly recommended a blended chai with almond milk and lavender. No more Starbucks for me!

First time here, wasn’t sure what I wanted so I was asking questions good thing I was the only one in the place at the time. The cashier was polite but the person who preps the food gave me a look if looks could kill i would be dead, lol. His mood had an effect on my bagel n locs. It was cold, hard not toasted not even an everything bagel it tasted like the bagel you buy from stater Bros that are sold in a bag.
I never leave any complaints when I Unilocal,this is my first. This is for the young man toasting the bagels, I recommend you smile more and don’t get mad when a customer is indecisive asking questions about the tea or coffee.
(The 2young ladies were pleasant, I give them a star.) Customer service was horrible all because of that one bad apple, he should be thankful to have a job and needs turn that frown upside down!
The atmosphere was very nice and sadly it was ruined. Customer service is they key to run a business

We keep returning to Lush lounge. I love the atmosphere, the chill music, the yumm drinks & breakfast items too. They’ve got a few new faces, and I recognized an old one too from a while back. Very nice people running the Lush Lounge.
My favorite; the «Almond Lavender Chai latte» is so smooth & delicious.
I love their veggie breakfast wrap & often ask for xtra spinach which they give me plenty ;-) yummm
Love seeing the pond and the growing ivy plant making its way across the ceiling. I feel relaxed whenever I come here ~

HORRIBLE experience!!! There was a pit bull with no leash or collar roaming around the inside of the restaurant the whole time we were there. At one point, it went up to my baby’s face. I put him in his car seat on top of a chair and away from the dog and the dog came under the table and weaseled its way back into the baby’s face again. I asked the man to take his dog outside and he wouldn’t. The dog jumped on top of our table and I asked him again and he said I needed to «calm down.» This was going on for about 30 minutes and no employee helped the situation at all. It wasn’t until I said i was going to call the cops that he decided to put his dog outside. Unless it’s a service dog, pets are not permitted in restaurants. This was far from that. Our group left flustered and traumatized from having this pit bull not leave us alone in the restaurant. Never going back EVER again.

Great atmosphere, good drinks, I havnt tried the food yet but it seems good (vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options). 2 dollars for a small drink 3 for a large mas or menos.
I’ll come again for sure

I wanted to try Lush for years, and when I saw a coupon in my local clipper magazine I decided to finally go for it. The deal was really good — something like $ 10 for $ 20 worth of food and beverages, so I purchased it online and my husband and I headed there for breakfast on a Saturday morning.
First impression: WAY bigger than I expected it to be from the outside. High ceilings with lots of natural light, a koi pond and hydroponic plants, tons of seating were some of the highlights. The type on the menu board was really difficult for me to read, and they didn’t have any smaller paper menus.
My husband and I each ordered a bacon breakfast burrito, he got a house coffee and I opted for a latte. The coffee was good, and my latte was just OK — slightly burnt-​tasting. Our name was called to come collect our food, and I immediately noticed that one burrito was in what appeared to be a white tortilla, and the other one was a whole wheat tortilla. They were ordered exactly the same, but they must have run out of one type of tortilla? No biggie, we dug right in.
BLAH. They were quite honestly some of the worst breakfast burritos either of us had ever tasted. They gave the illusion of deliciousness, because each burrito had panini-​press grill marks on the tortilla, however the potatoes were soggy and bland, the egg whites were cold (obviously pre-​cooked and not fully heated through — is that even safe?), the cheese wasn’t even melted. They were a total letdown. Would definitely not recommend the food at Lush, and probably wouldn’t even try anything else since it was such a waste. The coffee’s not half bad though, so that’s one of the few things worth visiting for.

The atmosphere is great I wish I could say the same for the customer service and the food and coffee. I’ve been there twice and ordered two different drinks and two different food items. The baristas acted like it was a pain to get off their phones and take my order. Coffee tastes burned and the sandwiches were so dry. When I asked about what was in them, I got some eye rolls and a lot of attitude. I was so excited to have a coffee shop within walking distance but the vibe in this place is not worth dealing with the people and the bad food/​coffee. I’d rather walk the distance to go to Starbucks down the street.

I’ve been here a couple times. The atmosphere is pretty nice. I like their matcha green iced tea and white chocolate lushie.

This unique little coffee shop caught my eye on Google Maps when I was looking for places to chill while I was on that side of town. I love the atmosphere in there, as well as the exterior of Main Street in general. Pretty neat little place. Since I am planning on moving to Vista this year (I am down there a lot for school and my boyfriend), having a coffee shop I can always go to chill at is really important to me. It’s a really nice place to sit and chat, color, read, study, whatever.
What really made me want to write this review was the last time I went in (my second time, yesterday). I was a little worried that they forgot to make my iced tea but I was patient, I had so much time, so it was whatever. But when I did get my iced tea, the color of the water was still pretty clear and when I took a sip of it only a hint of the tea was all I could taste. I figured I’d just let it steep for a few minutes, but no change. I was about to say something about it until one of the baristas caught my attention and said, «Excuse me, would you like me to re-​brew your iced tea for you? It’s not quite the right color!»
And I was amazed she even noticed it at all despite all the other orders they probably had to do! She completely re-​did my cup of tea for me and when I got my cup back it was strongly steeped and I could actually see the color of the tea. Major props to her for that. I didn’t quite get her name, but she was blonde and kinda tall and she was very happy and bubbly and just radiating positive energy to every customer that walked in and out and I can appreciate that.
Plus, a little bird flew into the café and just kept chirping! And I was lucky to have stayed long enough to hear some live music by an impromptu performance, and their sound was pretty awesome.
I think this may be my new go-​to relaxing haven. Expect to see me there, I am for sure becoming a regular here.

Looooove this place, great organic coffee and live music! They even have coconut milk… woohooo!!! I am from Encinitas (since 1989, now living in Vista) and we don’t even have a place that has Organic coffee that tastes as good as this!

This is a cute coffee/​tea place in Vista. There was plenty of parking when I visited on a weekday morning. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I had an iced chai tea latte with almond milk. It was very tasty.
They have a koi pond that has some very large koi. It’s worth checking out if you are there.
I would go here again if I was in this part of town.

This place used to be absolutely amazing. I’ve filled up at least 5 of their membership cards, but the past ½ dozen times the coffee and service just keeps going downhill.
There’s always a «new guy» in training: one charging the wrong amount at the cash register and one ruining the espresso shots.
Espresso shots went from some of the best I’ve had in San Diego county to just burnt trash flavor.
My last visit, I realized after I had consumed my drink that the kid making drinks was sick. So I got a lovely cold for a week.
I don’t know the young man’s name that was new but… he needs to learn the appropriate time to adjust his junk cuz it’s not appropriate to do it at the cash register in front of people.

I dig this place. Stopped in for some açaí bowls after a Saturday morning hike. They were most excellent, and I enjoyed the décor and koi pond inside. Very reasonable prices and you can add bee pollen and a variety of other über healthy add-​ons.
I wish the outside sign were a bit more easy to spot, but this spot a hidden gem. We couldn’t but find it hilarious that the color scheme makes it look like a dispensary (definitely intentional). Seems like a good study spot or place to catch up with friends.
I wish I still lived in San Diego County, because I would stop by more often.

I work in the area and this was my second time here. I will be coming more often for their coffees and espresso drinks. Affordable and great variety. Fresh ingredients and great sandwiches and wraps. Love the ambiance. Very relaxing and good music. Staff are friendly. Food comes out really quick. The cucumber infused water is delicious. I could imagine this place getting pretty crowded when the have their live music shows.

They was the perfect rainy day study spot. I wanted to get out of the house with the deluge, so a cozy coffee shop fit the bill. On a weekday afternoon, it was fairly quiet. The drink options offer plenty of combinations, and they give you the choice of milk. The baristas were polite and prompt in making the drinks. I am partial to green tea lattes, and this was a rich and creamy. Almost needed to buy 2 of them while I was studying they were so good. They have good wifi and little nooks to hang out to study. I would definitely recommend.

Did not love Lush Lounge as much as I was hoping.
The vibe is nice, like the koi pond and décor.
Cute gifts such as mugs and shirts with their logo and plenty of seating inside as well as out.
Excellent sounding menu, though we really didn’t love our blended coffee at all.
Pure ice, no flavor whatsoever, not sweet, no coffee taste, really a waste of money.
Hoping their other items are better and loving that everything is organic I might have to stop back in and try something else next time.

Pretty cool coffee shop, good place to go if you need to do some homework. Fairly quiet, many outlets for people to plug in a laptop. They sell sandwiches, pastries, some other things I can’t think of off the top of my head. I recommend the Spice of Italy (I think that’s what it was called, see picture). The koi pond is pretty cool, as is the aquaponics setup above it. Free Wi-​Fi too. They usually have events here on the weekends: open mic on Friday, sometimes live bands here too.

I went to this place last week. I just moved to CA last week as well. it seemed friendly and inviting so I stopped in for lunch.
I got a iced chai tea with 2% milk and the grilled turkey with apples and bacon, something new, and I loved both. chai was the best I’ve ever had to be quite honest.
the only problem I had with the place was the awkward seating. I’m not really sure why I thought it was awkward, but I wasn’t comfortable. I sat in two different places as well. it may just be me, but it felt off.
overall: great chai, staff, and food.

We came in at 4pm and it was pretty slow inside, it’s nice relax, chill lounge. If you like the running water white noise u will enjoy this place.
We got the acai bowl, it’s eh. It had a real liquid state like I could drink it thru a straw. Usually acai bowls have at least a little slush state of texture… Not this one.

I stumbled upon this place one morning and decided to give them a try. I went with the Black Lush Iced Coffee and really enjoyed it. What I really wanted to try was the Lush Iced Coffee which is served with yummy vanilla, but they only offer whole milk. I was disappointed to learn this. They do offer almond and coconut milk. That’s definitely a big plus.
The service was fast and friendly. I enjoyed experiencing this local coffee lounge; it’s a nice change to the normal Starbucks routine. The iced coffee was pre-​made, so it took no time at all.
I do wish they served non-​fat milk, but I’ll definitely return to try my coffee with coconut milk.
