“Prices and product selection are great, and hours are phenomenal, but the staff is AMAZING. I have a liquor store two blocks from my house, but I drive an extra 2 miles at any time of day just to come to this spot just because of the staff! 5/5 stars, wouldn’t change a thing.”
“Moved to the neighborhood a couple of months ago and this store immediately became my go to. Chevy is so nice and accommodating. Makes you feel like you’re part of the family when you walk in! Great store, great selection, great staff!”
“I love all the employees they're the most beautiful people I've ever meet. And the First Class customer service with love for everyone, The community love Heights Market, And they give back to the community, Around the holidays they give us Turkeys ect. I love this store and the employees so much. It's warm my heart. Thank you for your first class Customer service.”
“Happy Time is the only place I go to get anything. Whether it’s my favorite salt n vinegar pringles, the foreign viral treats, a gallon of water, ice for a picnic, or my forever go-to Happy Dads Seltzers (no hangover because there’s electrolytes), some amazing Cab Sauv selections, Happy Time has it. Do yourself a favor, make this your neighborhood spot. If they don’t have anything, talk to the owner Danny. He will special order ANYTHING for you. Danny and his staff are the best people around the North Park/Hillcrest Area.”
“If you're a bourbon lover and you live anywhere near Imperial Beach, do yourself a favor and make IB Liquor your go-to store. Their bourbon selection is honestly one of the best I've found, with everything from everyday favorites to hard-to-find bottles. And if they don't have what you're looking for, they'll go out of their way to find it for you.
What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. It's a family-owned business, and you can feel it the moment you walk through the door. They genuinely care about their customers and treat you like a regular, even if it's your first visit.
A huge shout-out to Nick. He is the definition of outstanding customer service—friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He took the time to answer questions, make recommendations, and made sure I left with exactly what I was looking for. It's rare to find someone who is that passionate about taking care of customers.
In a world of big-box stores, IB Liquor reminds you why supporting local businesses matters. Great selection, fair prices, exceptional service, and people who truly appreciate your business. They've earned a customer for life. Highly recommend!”
“The best liquor store in the area in my opinion , good prices and no hidden fees everything is displayed on the screen. Great selection of bottles including whiskey and tequila. The gentlemen who works over the counter is very professional and kind. Positively coming back.”
“My favorite Trader Joe’s. I always find what I need and it’s not crowded on Sunday evenings.
Update: I went on Sunday Morning right after they opened on 3/1/26- The store was organized, stalked, and clean. I had a fruitful conversation with (my receipt reads S, Randy)It set the tone for a great day.”
“Joey was super helpful. He knew exactly what bier style I was looking for and told me about the biers he had in stock.

“Amazing food. First off sandwiches I eat every bite leaving no crumbs. When I got braces I switched to the soups and a mildy toasted roll and my stomach didnt suffer at all. I am really going to miss this place being on my route for work. Rome is so kind she puts all the love in their food.”

“Hidden gem. I love this little sandwich shop in the heart of mission hills. The sandwiches are really good and made with love by the small business owners. The menu is pretty easy to navigate. On the left of the menu is all their signature sandwiches and on the right is build your own sandwich option. The price for a sandwich is very reasonable and there is street parking. They also have a ton of options for chips, drinks and candy.”
“Best go to convenience market! Plenty of grocery items, great assortment of alcohol and beers. Full size ice cream containers,not just the tiny ones. I loved the deli sandwiches, to bad those aren't available anymore. Customer service with that neighborly vibe.”
“Place the new owners are fantastic. They really make the store look nice and they’re not ridiculously over priced for any road store. Really glad that they’re there.”
“This hideaway liquor store in Pacific Beach completely saved the day late at night hoping for a quality bourbon. Palm Liquor came up aces. Now it’s an experience. thank you”

“BEST PRICES ON 13TH STREET!GROCERY ITEMS ARE ACTUALLY REASONABLY PRICED!I love the cheap little Twinkies and Honey Buns at the counter, 2 for $1.50.I go here for my (friend's) wine, alcohol, and my coffee creamer and protein drinks.They doubled their store size a few years ago and haven't missed a beat since.Parking is NOT always the best and their driveway is pretty jacked up, but it's worth the stop.ATM AND 1% CHECK CASHING TOO!”
“Very friendly and polite staff. They are very accommodating and have a lot of options of beverages, liquors and beers. They also have a Bitcoin ATM. The young lady cashiering that day extended a warm and welcoming demeanor.”
“Even on the busy day of Christmas, the manager and the sandwich maker served me the most wonderful vegetarian sandwich. Great service and extremely friendly. They obviously care about serving their customers well!! 😉”
