Nestled near the picturesque beaches of Del Mar and Torrey Pines, Elixir has garnered mixed reviews from its patrons. While customers appreciate the friendly service and charming ambiance, many express disappointment in the inconsistency of their smoothie and juice offerings. Some have encountered thick, unblendable concoctions while others rave about the flavor of specific items like the blueberry Popeye smoothie. Issues also arise from inaccurate business hours and a lack of clarity around menu options, particularly regarding vegan selections. Despite these setbacks, some patrons remain hopeful for a return, drawn by nostalgic tastes and a warm staff atmosphere.

Was Lina K at Elixir a mag?
Cute spot to stop by if you're headed to Del Mar or Torrey Pines. We picked up 3 dragon smoothies after our beach walk and our kids slurped them down. The lady working there was super sweet and friendly. We will definitely be back. View all feedback.
What sohrab f dislikes about Elixir:
This is for wasting my time with inaccurate business hours both online and literally on the door of the store. It reads Mon-Sun 8AM- 6PM. Got there at 5 PM, door is locked and employees act surprised and dismissive. I have had their bowl and it was actually good enough to go back. But waste my time and be rude about it? Well I will be damned to spend a dollar here. P.S: you can buy back my loyalty with $50 of store c... View all feedback.
I had a good experience at Elixir in the past, but my visit today was disappointing. I asked the woman behind the counter about one of the baked goods, and she replied that they no longer offer any vegan options. She mentioned that the vegan food had not been successful and spoke somewhat negatively about it. I was confused as to why they still had a handwritten sign listing several vegan baked goods, and she informed me that those items were actually gluten-free and not vegan. I decided to leave. While I know that the juices are automatically vegan, I was put off from ordering one after my conversation with her. This is an update to my previous review from October 20, 2022.
The restaurant offers a wide variety of juices and smoothie options, all of which can be made vegan.
"Yes, it's a bit expensive, but this is Del Mar after all. Without a doubt, the blueberry Popeye is my favorite smoothie of all time. If you pair it with their peanut butter cookie, you'll be amazed at how delicious gluten-free can actually taste!"
I got a blueberry popeye smoothie that tasted so good! Mimi and Emily were so friendly and great employees, I'm definitely coming back because of them!
As for mine, I was struggling to suck up chunks of banana, ice, cashews, and dates through my straw (or they were stuck at the end). I ended up tossing the last quarter of my smoothie because there was no liquid left, just a bunch of chunks. They used to be thick, creamy, and satisfying, but they’ve definitely changed. I’m really bummed and will be looking for another place to get smoothies from now on. I would have gone back to request a new smoothie or ask for it to be blended again, but the line was long and the service was painfully slow with only two staff members handling a lot of orders. I had already waited a significant amount of time, and I couldn't wait any longer. On a positive note, the young staff behind the counter were very polite and professional, which I appreciated.
