LUNA GRILL’S FALL HEARTY MENU

/
 
 
 

With the colder months approaching, I love a good hearty meal that both warms and fills me up. It’s one of my favorite parts of fall and winter, and as hard as it is to say goodbye to summer, I am looking forward to those kinds of fall and winter moments.

You have heard me speak about Luna Grill many, many times this summer and I won’t be stopping anytime soon. Their food is just that delish! We all know and love the classic gyro in Mediterranean and Greek cuisine. It’s one of my all-time favorite meals and perfect for on the go. Not only does Luna Grill offer the classic take on a gyro, they also offer it as an entree! The Gyro Plate incorporates the best part of Mediterranean food, the gyro meat, and serves it with rice, pita, choice of sauce, and a side. The gyro meat is as fresh as they come. Luna Grill slices the meat directly off the cone into warm, juicy slices. I’m literally drooling just thinking about it.

The gyro meat Luna Grill uses is made specifically for them. They call it the “Never, Ever” gyro meat. It’s never fed any antibiotics, hormones, or animal by-products. It’s MSG-free and features beef and lamb only raised on grass and grain vegetarian diets.

So go get yourself a gyro plate at Luna Grill, and you’ll thank me later!

Thank you Luna Grill for sponsoring this post! As always, all opinions are my own. Thank you for the support!

COFFEE SHOPS IN SAN DIEGO

Yerba Mate Bar & Empanadas I Pacific Beach

One of our favorite spots! Although not a coffee bar, they do offer incredible coffee drinks in addition to their yerba mate drinks. If you think yerba mate won’t give you the same amount of energy as coffee, you’re very wrong. Owned by the sweetest people, this place is a must. They have an outdoor patio so it’s perfect for taking a break from working from home. Their empanadas & sweets are homemade on-site & so delicious. Tell them Sweat in SD sent ya!

Communal Coffee I North Park

This place is real cute and definitely one of North Park’s trendiest coffee shops. You probably have spotted their Coffee + Flowers mural on Instagram and the space is definitely picture-worthy. A ton of space to work outside too!

Better Buzz I Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Point Loma, Encinitas, Hillcrest, La Jolla, Miramar, Escondido

One of San Diego’s favorites. Some may say Better Buzz is famous for its “Best Drink Ever”. With nine locations in San Diego, it really is one of the most popular coffee shops. If sweet drinks aren’t your thing, make sure to ask for unsweetened or less sweet. They also offer a drive-thru at many of their locations which is much needed these days. Their Hillcrest location is huge & perfect for working out of.

Pannikin Coffee & Tea I Encinitas & La Jolla

Located in a cottage in La Jolla and a train station in Encinitas, this place has a very quaint vibe that screams comfort. It doesn’t offer WiFi, so we’re not sure if this is the best option to work from but definitely a must either way! Pannikin in Encinitas is much larger than La Jolla.

Bird Rock Coffee Roasters I La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Little Italy, Torrey Pines, Morena, Carlsbad

A neighborhood favorite that truly has great coffee. And when we say neighborhood favorite, we’re not lying. They have 6 locations in San Diego but you’re able to find their coffee beans at many shops in San Diego. We’ve been told it’s very work-friendly too!

Lofty Coffee I Encinitas, Solana Beach, Little Italy

Another fan favorite. We’ve only been to their Little Italy location, but we’re a fan. Their London Fog is delish if coffee isn’t your thing! there’s a decent amount of outdoor space but it is important to note, no outlets in their Little Italy location. Make sure to visit with your electronics fully charged.
