Green Acre - San Diego

Literally was there 5min(8:35am) ago in line, cashier can see my cash in hand as I am purchasing a ready made sandwich. since I 'm on a 15min break I 'm on the go and no time can be wasted. But I finally get to register and the cashier tells me, I 'm sorry we don 't take cash , what the flying fxxxxk! She could 've told me that while I was in line looking at my sandwich and money. Or they could have a sign by the register saying they don 't take cash. Absolutely infuriated, waste of time, left hungry. How can you run a business and not take money? For that reason they absolutely are the worst

Service was good and food was delicious. They have a wide variety of foods and drinks.

They have large dining areas inside and outside with very nice decor. Friendly staff that'll check on you,take your orders at the counter and they will bring your food to your table.Breakfast ends at 11am and they also have Happy Hour. Nice wine selection too!

The decoration and the ambiance is incredible. Green Acres definitely gives off the hipster vibe. My favorite items to order here are the lavender latte and the beet and carrot salad. I always order a hot lavender latte because it gets really cold in the building I work in. The hot lavender latte is always at the perfect temperature to be enjoyed immediately; it doesn't scald your tongue when you drink it right away. It's also a great pick-me-up to have in the middle of a long work day.I was introduced to farro through the beet and carrot salad (I like to order this with grilled chicken and mustard vinaigrette). The farro has an amazing firm, yet chewy consistency that I can't get enough of.It takes a long time for food to come out; my lunch break is only 30 minutes long and sometimes, it takes a whole 30 minutes for my order to be ready. I recommend ordering ahead of time so that your food is ready to be picked up when you're ready to get there.

The first day in my new office this past June and saw that there was an (expensive) cafeteria/restaurant (since my company does not sponsor the food) that looking so neat and modern made me very happy. I loved the design, from the menu, to the mini vases with cute flowers from the farm (there is a farm in campus that belongs to them and they source some of the ingredients they use in their dishes from there) to the playful atmosphere. I have been frequenting this restaurant for 6 months now and is all good (except the price tag).I adore their burgers, that is my favorite to-go dish, although I have not disliked anything I have tried. This summer I got a superb gazpacho (source from the farm), very original taste and different from the Spanish one I am used to. There are happy hours and many corporate and meetup groups parties in there too. The coolest thing is how secluded and unknown this restaurant is, mostly because belongs to the Alexandria conglomerate of buildings and businesses and is located inside a corporate park not too much on the public light.
