Founded in 1972 by Jan Gaffney in Huntington Beach, Jan's Health Bar has remained a staple in Southern California's healthy dining scene for over five decades. Current owner Poppy Holguin, who started working at the original Jan's as a teenager, took over the business in 2010 and has since grown the brand across Orange County, with locations in Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach, Corona del Mar, Irvine, and Long Beach. The San Diego opening represents the next step in Jan's continued success.
Construction is currently underway in the spaces that last housed Le Macaron and Parakeet Cafe within Building 14 in One Paseo, Del Mar's modern lifestyle center known for its mix of dining, shopping, and wellness-focused businesses. The new location will feature the same menu that has made Jan's a favorite, including a variety of acai bowls, salads, wraps, and sandwiches, alongside an extensive selection of smoothies made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Popular offerings include the peanut butter banana date smoothie and the classic tuna salad sandwich, which have been on the menu since the original Jan's opened.
Holguin has always emphasized community, ensuring each Jan’s Health Bar retains a local feel and becomes a gathering place for regulars. As with her other locations, the Del Mar spot will likely reflect that same welcoming atmosphere, making it a natural fit for One Paseo's health-conscious clientele.
Jan’s Health Bar at One Paseo is expected to open this spring at 3745 Paseo Place, Building 8, in Del Mar. For more information, visit .
