I love Swami's! I always have a great experience here! I had a potato tofu burrito with soy cheese, onions and peppers with a side of fruit. They have a ton of vegan options, vegetarian options and many dishes in between! The ambience is great, the coffee selection is incredible, and it is an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend coming here because there's something for everyone! The portion sizes and prices are also reasonable which is always a plus!

Our new favorite Swami’s location! This place is great! Same great food and this location has a ton of seating compared to other locations. We have already been twice since it opened and we have had two great experiences. Do yourself a favor and order the fresh prepared apple juice. You can thank me later. The chorizo hash is super tasty

First time here, and I liked it. You get there, order, pay, and find a table for yourself. Plenty of space and food to choose; the only complaint I have is that I had to remind two guys about our my beverages (ice cream smoothies), they totally forgot.

I got the eggs Benedict with avocado and hash browns which was super good, would order again! I don’t know what my bf ordered but he really like it. Orange juice and watermelon were also very good!

Wonderful place to visit great food or drinks, indoor or outdoor your choice. Chill vibe with beautiful artwork and photographs everywhere. Casual attire is welcomed, so come as you are. I loved my red velvet waffles with fruit, such dense decadence. Yummy from start to finish. The bacon cheeseburger I was told was delicious as well. There are several locations across San Diego county so take the time to visit one or all and see if you agree. They are a favorite place to visit when you don't want pressure to dress up and can relax and enjoy the food and atmosphere. Two thumbs up.👍👍

Artichoke chicken sausage omelet and the Gluten free berry Bliss with Pitaya smoothie was delicious. Pumpkin Dulce de Leche latte was delicious!

Swami’s Vista! Serves healthy & hardy meals for breakfast & lunch! Their expansive menu makes it quite hard for one to decide on what options to pick, but the friendly staff will be of excellent help when you find yourself stuck on making a pick. Swami’s is exactly what Vista Village needed to help complete their array of family long businesses in the area. From the moment you step foot in the door the whiff of 10+ coffee options will rise your senses and the food along with the staff will be the cherry on top of it all. Swami’s is definitely a place for all!

I often opt to go to local Swamis for breakfast. Reliably consistent good food and service regardless of location. If you want food with amazing flavor, this is your place. Flavor explosion on every single item we ordered. If you eat with your eyes first, this is your place. Pretty food is important for a good experience. I can't imagine an occasion where swamis wouldn't be the answer.

This was our first time at this location and we enjoyed it. We have gone to the location at Oceanside many times and enjoy the food.

Swami’s always hits and never misses!!! It’s like eating down home food with a healthy twist!!! Always yummy!! I had the lobster and shrimp omelette, it’s my usual go to but I’ve tried other things as well. They have great smoothies and the dirty chai is yummy if you have a sweet tooth! Check them out!

The food is always good here with generous portions. It's definitely a filling meal no matter what you get. The waffles Benedict is by far one of my favorite things I've ordered. The waffles are crisp but still soft inside which just makes it!

Something for everyone: vegan, gluten-free and meat lovers alike. So many yummy breakfast options. Plus fresh squeezed juices, smoothies, açaí bowls and more. Can get busy on weekends. You order and pay for your food up front. Seating is self serve. However, they will bring your food to your table. Good service and good food right in quaint little vista village. Naked a day and visit Clay ‘n Latte right nextdoor.

Always the friendliest staff. A great place for my friends and I to meet up every week. They take extra care to make my coffee just right!

The portions at this place are SO great, you really get your money’s worth in both the quality and quantity for your order. I’ve gotten the Açaí Bowl and their Hot Chocolate (which comes in a huge tea cup) while my boyfriend has tried the Waffles Benedict and the Healthy Breakfast Burrito. Every time we’ve visited, the service was so pleasant along with the atmosphere of the place. They’ve got big windows and tables galore. The lines have been long every now and then, (but for good reason, obviously) but snagging a nice place to sit has never been a problem for us. I’d definitely recommend coming here for breakfast, brunch, or lunch for a wholesome, nutritious, and filling meal.

If your the type of person that likes great tasting breakfast, then go here twice. Once for checking it out. Second time because you want to turn it on to a partner or friend right away. Great hash brown bowl- eggs scrambled, cheese, bacon and ham and of course hash browns opted for no onions= Deliciouse bowl of "love"! Had a bite of the corned beef hash, OMG!!! Im getting that the next time, if I don't, I'm depriving myself of the small but great pleasures in life.

King was such a great help! He had the best customer service and made sure everything was taken care of for us when we were in a rush to get out on time. We came in on our break for work and he helped us get our food and get out in a timely manner. Give this man a raise!!!

This is by far one of the best places to go for breakfast and lunch in Downtown Vista. The prices are near unbeatable for the food you get both in portion and quality. The staff is amazing 100% of the time. My family has Sunday lunch here 2 times a month on average. Yes that’s on average, and we will go weeks without eating here sometimes.

Stopped by for a quick breakfast before heading out to San Deigo for the day. The place is in a good spot. Ample parking, and quick service! Downside is the seld serve coffee. The food was outstanding! Quick, hit, and tasty! The hokefries are great, the selection to choose from is massive! Sourdough toast..I mean C'mon!!! The fusion of Latin + American is 👌. Everything we ate was prepared the right way! Prices are pretty cheap considering the area and quality.

I enjoyed breakfast with Sis Char. Meals seem spendy but portions are plentiful (enough for two)! Plus, there are drinks available with your meal. If you want foo foo anything - then you will pay extra. Service was fantastic! Great company always gets better with great customer service and a good food!

I have enjoyed breakfast and lunch here, and I must say, they are spot on with both. I recommend the reuben, highly recommend. It has just the right amount of everything to make your tastebuds pop! My hubby and I did the half Sammy swap. We also shared the pastrami, which was okay, similar to the reuban of course, but the kraut and rye add that next level of deliciousness. You must visit one if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed. I only have a pic of the pastrami....

Solid 2ish? Food comes quickly. The veggie hash was large but mostly potato and I didn’t love all of the sun dried tomatoes as the flavor was sharp. Bloody Mary wasn’t good or strong. Had an old mushy cucumber on it. Prices are really expensive. 16$+ for two eggs and some veggies seems outrageous but maybe not anymore 😅. The interior is very “fend for yourself” but it’s clean. We asked for a burger medium rare but it was super rare. They forgot avocado on one dish, but staff were nice. Idk I think there are much better options for cheaper.

Was expecting better quality from one of “Swami’s favorites.” We ordered the Indian curry with tofu and it tasted like steamed vegetables atop canned pumpkin purée. That said, the portion was large, it came quickly, and service was friendly.

worst place to dine in because horrible service at least Dennys give great customer service and they attend you if you don't like your meal or drink. Don't recommend it. Sadly I gave the tip before getting my meal.
