When I alerted Hannah she reliably and pleasantly took all the information to relay to Sam who personally responded. I was concerned the card would be cashed before we could send it to the right address. My daughter in law and son visit your establishment often since they are local and it is a favorite stop we make several times a year when we visit. Since our daughter In law will be recuperating from surgery it was my first thought to send them a gift card. We were convinced how much we enjoy your menu but now that we see What behind the scenes customer service you provide we are secured as loyal customers.

When my friend with celiac invited me to have dinner at Nectarine Grove I wasn't really sure how I…read morewould feel about a fully gluten-free restaurant, but it certainly exceeded my expectations. To start, the employees here are so sweet! There are so many seating options inside, outside, and even an additional seating area in a more quiet and secluded room. I was a little nervous that the wheat alternatives would be bland or dry and hard, but everything was delicious! I ordered the Veggie Lovers pizza with vegan mozzarella and ricotta on a paleo crust. I was pleasantly surprised by how soft and flavorful the crust was! The vegan cheeses were also exceptional and the entire pizza was cooked perfectly. The tortillas that they use for the tacos are good as well. Whether you are gluten-free, vegan, trying to eat healthier, or simply accompanying a friend, Nectarine Grove has something for everyone!

Great selection of pastries! Everything from traditional croissant to specialty tarts.read more

What a lovely place set in a strip mall area of Encinitas! I was on the hunt for a good French…read morepastry but this place went way above and beyond my expectations. First of all, the service was outstanding. Kind waiter, friendly table side courtesy, and frequent check ins throughout the visit. Secondly, the menu has serious range... from Benedict sandwiches to omelets to crepes and so much more. Get your French food fix here! Lastly, the prices are reasonable, especially for the authenticity of the food and the quality of the atmosphere. The place doesn't exude sophistication. Instead, it offers a relaxed place to have a high-quality meal or a quick coffee and a delicious pastry to go. With easy parking and a clean bathroom, it's hard to argue with Versailles for a nice brunch with a good friend. Don't miss it!

You can really taste the quality and care that goes into every cup. The baristas make everything with attention to detail, and the entire staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Lofty Coffee is a spot I've been to multiple times now…read more Highlight The coffee is genuinely fantastic especially their beans. You can taste the quality in every cup, and the drinks overall are excellent. That said, my Red light it's really expensive for most people, so it feels more like a treat than an everyday stop. The one area they could improve is the service. The staff sometimes feel a bit rushed and not super helpful, especially if you're new or asking questions about their drinks. They don't always take the time to explain things. To be honest it's more like they just want to take your order and move on to the next customer. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5. Great drinks and quality beans make it worth visiting, but the higher prices and inconsistent service keep it from being a regular favorite for me. If you love good coffee and don't mind paying a premium with okay service, it's still worth checking out.

We ordered two iced matchas with oat milk and a croissant. Service was quick and friendly. The same girl who took our order made our drinks.

I visited their location  in Encinitas today to meet a friend and unfortunately had a very…read moredisappointing experience. I ordered the Greek scramble, which comes with a bagel. When my food arrived, the bagel had visible mold on it. It was very concerning that this wasn't caught before being served. I brought it to the attention of the staff member who delivered the food. Instead of taking the plate back and replacing the meal, he simply removed the bagel from my plate and brought another one. Given the situation, I would have expected the entire dish to be remade. Additionally, the coffee mug I was given appeared dirty, which added to my concerns about overall cleanliness. I later felt sick and experienced symptoms consistent with food poisoning, possibly related to the meal. For the quality of food and service provided, the pricing felt unreasonably high. The overall experience did not reflect the cost. I'm really disappointed with the lack of quality control and how the situation was handled. I hope management takes food safety, cleanliness, and customer service more seriously moving forward.

The market…read moreitself is pricey if you are shopping for groceries, but they do offer fresh bread from Bread Underground and other specialty snacks and other items I like to take home at the end of my visit. I usually order an iced matcha latte with oat milk and a Sweet Toast inside the market, then when I'm ready I switch to a cup or two of hard kombucha, which always has ingredients plucked from the farm, depending on what is seasonal. Everything is always delicious and delightful. Service at this walk-up coffee area is friendly. There is plenty of seating outside, in the front or back of the open-air market, and lingering for hours is encouraged. I like taking a walk around the perimeter farm while I'm there as well. There is an apothecary and a brewery on the premises, as well as a coffee roasting area. This part of the farm always seems to be closed for a private event, but that just adds to the bustling and community atmosphere. There is a couch area with a fire pit (and one in the back) in addition to the assortment of tables, a huge grass area and a natural (wood) climbing structure for kids to play, and sometimes they have live music there. There are always families and Encinitas locals hanging out and enjoying all that this place has to offer. There is a pizza stall in front of the market, as well as Huerta Tacos stand in back. Hours for these vary depending on the day. Both are not cheap, but the food is fresh and delicious, made with quality ingredients and interesting flavors. I sometimes treat myself to either, depending on who I'm with or what time of day it is. There is also a restaurant upstairs, and I have eaten there once, but prefer coming to hang at the Harvest Market and getting my food and drinks there. I live in the Vista/Carlsbad area, but it is worth the 20-25 minute drive to come hang out here for the afternoon!
