81 San Diego Businesses (Food, Beverage & Beauty) That Are Open & Need Your Support

Blog Graphic Final (2).png

We have been thinking a ton over here how we can support all of our local San Diego businesses!!

Our first series is surrounded by our Food, Beverage & Beauty friends that need us more than ever right now.  

Did we miss someone? Let us know, we want to add as many local San Diego businesses to this list as possible! 

Next week we are going to be working on all of our favorite event vendors!  

How can you support San Diego Businesses & Employees In Need

We recognize that money can be an obstacle right now, but the good news is, there are other ways you can support beyond your wallet! We also want to make sure that employees that have been laid off can get what they need! Here are some ways you can support employees and businesses right now + our list of favorite local spots.

  1. Yelp Reviews: Show your favorite business some love right now! Head to their Yelp page and leave a review.

  2. LinkedIn Recommendations: Know a friend out of work? Offering to leave a LinkedIn recommendation can be key. One quick note I found out while doing this is they have to invite you to leave a recommendation, so make sure to ask for the invite so you can support.

  3. Resume Reviews: Are you a good writer? Offer to review your friend’s resumes and cover letters. That can always be one of the biggest challenges when trying to find a new job.

  4. Connections: The biggest question I try to ask friends out of work is “Who can I connect you to? And for those who are out of work, don’t be afraid to ask your friends for introductions. I had someone reach out to me who was laid off, and I was able to connect them to someone looking for a contractor. This was all because he asked!

  5. Just a simple call, text or share: Don’t ever underestimate the power of connection or sharing! Check-in with your local friends that are affected by this, call or text! Also, make sure to share what they are doing on social media!

Local Makers

Website:  https://www.marketboxsd.com/

We ordered from this company last week and were so impressed with what they are doing! As soon as COVID-19 hit, they knew all of their fellow friends were going to be hit hard with Farmer’s Market shutdowns. They came together, spent 17 hours (overnight) to put together a website where you can find all of your favorite Farmer’s Market friends! Sunday orders go out for delivery on Wednesdays. Wednesday orders go out for delivery on Sunday.

2. Craft Box

This is a new one for us but we were excited to see it. They currently have a mix of locally sourced items and samples from companies. Eventually, they will have a shop page where you can buy individual items from local farmers and makers!

3. Eat Coyotas

Website: https://eatcoyotas.com/

We have been enjoying these yummy tortillas from the farmers market for weeks. I was looking for a grain-free tortilla for our weekly vegan enchiladas and I was worried they wouldn’t wrap without breaking. I had asked the owner when I bought them and she reassured me that they would wrap without breaking! They do that and more! They are super yummy, I ordered online and one day later they showed up at our door!

4. Prager Brothers 

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pragerbrothers/

Website: http://www.pragerbrothers.com/#pre-order-here-section 

You can pre-order bread and drive up to pick up. If you can’t go all the way to Carlsbad for this delicious bread, you can grab it at Jensen's Market & Seaside Market! It is one of our local favorites. They can also slice the bread for you at their main store (since it comes in a loaf). 

5. Lady G’ Canteen

Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/ladygscanteen/

I haven’t tried these yet, but I have been eying them! They did their first round of to-go lumpia last week. They were delivering to your door and they looked so good! Make sure to check out their Instagram to see when they are delivering next.

We met Janeé the owner at our event in the Fall. Their Churros are AMAZING. Also, their Cacao is sourced from its original home, Mexico. Not only does Madre Churros and Cacao sell quality cacao bars, nibs, and cacao powder, they also pair it with deliciously hot vegan churro bites. 

7. Kelly’s Croutons 

Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/kellyscroutons/

Website: https://kellyscroutons.com/

Where do I start with our love affair with these amazing croutons! They are vegan, if you haven’t guessed by now, I love many vegan products (sadly can’t do dairy but I do still eat meat). Once you have one bite, you will finish the bag. You can order on their website and you won’t be disappointed. Make sure to order one bag for eating and the rest for your salads. 

8. Nopalito Farm & Hopyard

Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nopalitofarm/

Website: https://nopalitofarm.square.site 

We just got our first box of Avocados and citrus from these fabulous people! We are big fans of making avocado toast in our house, and their produce exceeds our expectations! Danny made me avocado toast one morning and for the first time, it didn’t get brown when I put it away in the refrigerator. This product comes from the owners of Royale (listed below), you can grab your box there along with some awesome Tamales that benefit the head chef’s family.  

9. Mayas Cookies

They are shipping to your front door and you won’t be disappointed! You would never guess these were Vegan. I would recommend ordering multiple because one won’t be enough. They are usually at the Farmer’s market, but with the craziness, they are shipping them out.  

10. Double Batch

12. Camp Run-A-Mutt

Ok I know this doesn’t fall into the market category, but these are some folks that are so special to us! They have taken care of Walter since he was 4 months old and are the most wonderful humans on the planet. They are unable to be open right now BUT you can grab a gift card so when they are open you could send your puppy there or even get them a bath or haircut. Megan the general manager and her husband are the kindest people and Julia gives amazing haircuts and baths for your furry friend.

15. Bay Park Flowers

This comes as a recommendation from Bay Park Fish Company and I am so glad it did! I absolutely love seeing beautiful florals during this time. It looks like this spot is coming soon, BUT I bet you could reach out to get some beautiful florals to brighten your day.

16. Teatime Beverages

Website: https://teatimebeverages.com/shop-1

I haven’t shopped at the Farmer’s market for Teatime yet but I am excited to try it! The owner reached out and shared how challenging it has become with COVID-19. I am a huge tea fan, and I love finding a company that sources organic ingredients when possible. It sounds like Teatime does and I can’t wait to try!

W.D. Dickinson

I was so excited to find this local, organic, non-GMO produce company delivering straight to your doorstep! Right now it looks like they have a waitlist for their CSA box, but they have some beautiful soaps that look fun in the meantime. I also loved reading on their site that they have veggie boxes that are curated for special diets! Check out their shop above to get on the waitlist.

San Diego Markets

Small Markets  

17. Specialty Produce

Website: https://www.specialtyproduce.com/

Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/specialtyproduce/

Where do I start? I always worry when I mention them to friends because I fear they will become too busy, but this is by far the best produce market in San Diego! They are standardly wholesale for restaurants and they source from many different farmers. We worry with all of the restaurants shut down they may not get enough love. Their prices are amazing and fair. Nothing has prices, but never fear, they show you the bill before you pay and you can ask to put anything back that may be too expensive. They also tell you as they are checking you out if something is more expensive than normal!  

18. Siesel's Meats & Deli & Iowa Meat Farms 

Website: https://www.bestmeatssandiego.com/

One word “Benny!” Dare I say they have the best Carne Asada in town? Such a fun local market, they have amazing meats. There also have fabulous flour tortillas that I can never remember the name of, but just look for the unmarked tortilla bags by the meats!  

19. Jensen’s Point Loma 

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jensenspl/

Website: http://jensensfoods.com/home.php?

We heart Jensens! Danny’s company shares a headquarters with them and they are wonderful people! This is a family-owned business and Danny would tell you to grab the Tuna Sandwich! They also have individual rolls of toilet paper, gloves and they provide gloves at the door for guests right now! You can grab Kelly’s croutons here as well & Prager Brothers bread. 

20. Little Italy Mercato

Website: http://sandiegomarkets.com/

It looks like the market is back on! This is our Saturday morning tradition and we are so happy to see so many of the vendors back. It’s looking a little different right now with caution tape and masks, but please go support your local businesses and Farmers while the market is back on!  

21. Moniker Group

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/monikergroup/

Website: https://monikergeneral.com/

I have spent many Sunday mornings sipping tea and working from Moniker General in Point Loma. They have now set up groceries with fresh produce, dry goods, beer & wine, and even some cozy home goods! You will feel inspired when you walk in we promise.  

22. La Jolla Open Aire Market

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lajollaopenairemarket/

Website: https://lajollamarket.com/

23. Tuna Harbor Dockside Market

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tunaharbordocksidemkt/

Website: https://www.thdocksidemarket.com/ 

All I have to say is “Get to the dock early.” Danny tried to go last week to grab Uni at 8:20 am and there was a line down the Harbor (6 feet apart of course). This is such a great spot on Saturday mornings to grab fresh fish! Just make sure you eat before and bring your tea or coffee, it will be a bit!  

Restaurants 

24. Mitchs Seafood

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mitchsseafood/

Website: http://www.mitchsseafood.com/main_page.html

I can’t believe I almost forgot this place (maybe because I secretly don’t want the line to be out the door like it always is). This is one of our favorite spots in San Diego, the line is worth the wait! When they are open again. make sure to sit on the patio, eat your good and watch the boats on the harbor. We LOVE the octopus tostada, the shrimp cocktail is amazing, also a big fan of the calamari. You really can’t go wrong here. The other day they had fresh crab for $4 a pound (pretty solid in my book).

25. Viewpoint Brewing 

Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/viewpointbrewingco/

Website: https://www.viewpointbrewing.com/

We love this restaurant. We have spent many days on their back patio and dream of getting back there for some sun and beer. They have an awesome drive-through ready for you to grab your meals. Check their website for their daily menus to-go. 

26. COMMON STOCK

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eatcommonstock/

Website: https://www.toasttab.com/common-stock/v3

You guys, this team has just gone above and beyond! They have an amazing Kale Salad and Crispy Chicken Sandwich. We found them a few years back at the San Diego Wine & Food Festival and we were so glad when they opened a location. For $5 addition to your order, you can donate meals to a laid-off restaurant worker. Every day they are opening their doors to those who have been laid off in the restaurant industry to make sure they get warm meals, this is awesome!  

27. Little Lion Cafe 

Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/little_lion_cafe/

Website: https://venmo.com/Little-lion-cafe

These gals have such a special place in our hearts. I will keep the story short, but many moons ago when Danny bartended at a special place called Motus Supper Club he met the Coulon Sisters who own Little Lion. They make everything from scratch, they are wonderful humans and you have to support them. When everything hit and they had to shut down, they made sure to let their team take home all of the food for groceries. Check their Instagram for updates of to-go meals, they also did a wine-pairing dinner to go that we sad we missed. You can send a Venmo payment for Gift Certificates as well!

Website: https://www.gofundme.com/f/ready-meals-for-medical-and-assisted-living?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet

These tacos are insane. We met Thai & Scott on our trip to Israel last year and we are so grateful we did. We are so inspired by the impact they are making on the San Diego community. They have started a fund to donate meals for hospital workers and medical professionals at assisted living homes. Beyond the kindness, their tacos are AMAZING. Get the pastrami or ahi taco you won't be sorry. We did a taco party pack to-go from there this past weekend and we loved it!  

29. Head Lettuce

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eatheadlettuce/

Also owned by Spitfire Tacos so yummy. Can I just say, finally a place that chops their salads! There is nothing worse than a salad that has a bunch of big pieces of lettuce and barely any dressing! They have awesome pre-made salads, or you can make your own. I love the poke bowl from here.

They have an employee relief fund set up, they have their farmers market to-go bags with Tamales, Wayfare Bread, Lumpia AND cocktails (all made with fruits from their farm). They are posting all of their updates on Instagram as well.

We have gone to Vintage Wines for many years and done some Saturday tastings. It’s such a cute little spot in Miramar with amazing wines (and great deals). Since we can’t head up there for one of their tastings, we wanted to make sure to highlight that they are currently doing wine deals and delivering! They are also delivering spirits (we have been really into making mezcal cocktails so that is exciting). One key thing during this time is making sure we support these local wine shops, they are so great about not marking wine up like crazy!

So much love for this shop and the owner Leah. I have known her for years and have nothing but love for her and the products and services she provides. If you want clean beauty products (makeup, hair, body, etc.) she is your gal! They are currently doing FREE SHIPPING: SENDMESELFCARE is the code as well as curbside pickup M-F 11 am-2 pm in their North Park & Del Mark locations.

I have shopped here for years (oftentimes too much). Cecilia is such a kind woman and I love her style. Get on her email list, she always has awesome weekly emails and you can stay up to date on what they are doing. Currently, it looks like an earring of the month club (I need that since all I do is put my hair up now)

I LOVE this salon, they are dedicated to using all-natural products free from toxins. This is an industry that is so challenged right now, they can’t do hair BUT you can still support. If you head over to their site, you can buy gift cards OR you can also buy awesome hair products that are non-toxic. I blow-dried my hair tonight for the first time in a while with the Oway products and I am so happy I did!  

85. Leo Nail Salon

Website: https://www.leobyliv3.com/gift-cards

This spot is definitely my favorite for relaxation and getting my nails done. This comes from a girl that doesn’t love someone touching her feet! I love the experience from walking in and choosing the essential oils you want to use to the beautiful decor! They did have to shut down for now, but you can support them by grabbing a gift card on their website. They also have awesome massages!

86. Bridal & Tuxedo Galleria

This local bridal shop is still supporting brides and grooms by offering virtual appointments. They are also using leftover wedding dress fabric to create face masks! I thought that was beyond awesome. If your big day is postponed, you could do a virtual shopping experience AND even invite all of your friends to join on zoom. Check out their Instagram to snag an appointment.

I can go on and on about these owners, I have been going to the studio on and off since 2012 (maybe even 2011). They are wonderful people truly dedicated to lifting the community. They are currently doing virtual classes (Yoga & HIIT). I have been taking classes online from them and am loving it! They also have daily classes on Instagram live where you can donate directly to the instructors to ensure they get the support they need right now financially! 

88. Bar Method Point Loma

This is another studio close to our hearts! I worked the front desk there back when I started my business coaching business years ago. All of the instructors here are lovely people and if you want to get that booty toned, these are your gals! They are also doing virtual classes right now! 

89. Xplicit Fitness

Xplicit will always have a special place in our hearts! Danny and I both used to go there without knowing each other! Chad the owner, has some awesome virtual classes that will support you in that quarantine workout! You can grab virtual classes individually with the link in his bio. 

What’s Next? 

Well, I am sure I have missed a million businesses that are open, please email me your favorites at info@pouredwithlove.com. The only request is to keep the suggestions to local & family-owned businesses that really need the love right now! 

I am working on a post for all of our wedding & event industry faves as well as trying to see if any of our wineries are selling online! 

Let us know what else you want to know or how else we can do to support during these trying times.

No matter what, remember it’s the little things that matter. Whether it be a smile at a stranger or just simply a thank you when you are at the Grocery Store! Our community needs us now more than ever.

Lots of Love, 

Lindsey & Danny
