Juice Bar and Healthy Cafe Coming to Little Italy | Eater San Diego

"Expanding into Little Italy, Choice Superfood Bar & Juicery is a plant-based café founded by Natasha McKean, who has opened locations in Carlsbad, Del Mar and most recently Del Sur; her background in nutrition informs a menu that ranges from cold-press juices and smoothies to salads, sushi and sweet and savory snacks, including plenty of gluten-free and dairy-free options. The new India Street location — the shop's largest footprint yet at 915 square feet and the first of several outlets planned outside North County — is taking over a former French creperie and will feature bi-fold windows that open onto the sidewalk and patio seating; it's scheduled to launch this summer and will initially be open weekdays 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and weekends 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Paul Ahern of Next Wave Commercial says McKean has a "contagious passion for educating and encouraging others to make positive and healthy life choices," McKean plans to host wellness classes in the space, and Colliers International's David Maxwell says that, with its health- and wellness-focused food options, it should be a welcome addition for neighborhood residents and employees." - Candice Woo
