Food was very good. Ambiance is nice. Inviting to the locals. Lovely staff. Nice selection of coffees teas and beverages I witnessed other people orders and all were quite impressive from breakfast to lunch menus. Will return--definitely. read more

Nice staff, great food, awesome vibes. Forgot to take a picture of my food because I ate it all.

Yummy food, fast service, and friendly staff! I usually get the Roasted Mediterranean Chicken panini and I've never been disappointed. I recently tried the seasonal Guava Matcha Cold Creme - it's thick, creamy, a little sweet, and a tiny bit tart. It definitely tastes more guava-y than matcha-y but I still really enjoyed it. read more

The food is amazing. The staff is super friendly and perfect. I had a bowl and it was amazing. Outside tables to sit at, or you can sit inside. And then order yourself a dessert, because I walked out with 3 different things to try because it all looked amazing. read more

Really loved stumbling upon this place. Was searching for a healthy lunch spot, I ordered their panini on their focaccia (melts in your mouth) and subbed for their house made cashew mozzarella and vegan pesto. The side salad was drenched in dressing, but it was good and made as a nice dipping sauce for the end of the crusty ends of my sandwich after the meal. I wish their baked goods had some non dairy options (only complaint). I came in around 1pm on a Thursday and almost every table was full and a line out the door so I knew I came to the right place. They also have mini grocery items that are paleo, keto and vegan friendly. Would recommend and will be back! read more

This is my twin sisters go to place for ordering breakfast or lunch. I could tell when we have eaten there for lunch that they are very attentive to our orders (even remembering the options that my sister goes for.) They are "organic, local, and fresh" as they say and take orders over the phone, online, and via door dash. My go-to is the BLTAE, which includes bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado and the egg. The bacon is caramelized and sweet, balancing out the salt that comes from the other ingredients. They also offer delicious baked items, including the peanut butter brownie, which is a must order here! read more

I've loved the food at Healthy Creations for years now. The last few times that I ate here the food was so disappointing and expensive. It's my understanding that the same owner operates Nectarine Grove, but different menu and ambiance. I hope they work on their menu but for now, I'll choose Nectarine Grove. read more

Healthy Creations Cage keeps getting better and better over the years. With everything being gluten free it makes it so much more simple to order. There are several vegan options and there seem to be more each time I come here. I ordered the vegan BLTA for the next day for a plane ride based on the recommendation of the cashier and that was a very good choice. It held up well, didn't get soggy OR brick like and was tasty. I also veganized the pesto sandwhich for lunch. Both were delicious. They also have a cooler filled with various beverages and foodstuffs. They had my favorite Blueberry Bambucha Kombucha, which was a nice way to round out the meal. read more

This place is different from the usual spot that I would go to but I was pleasantly surprised by the food. It was much better than I expected it to taste. I got the Roasted Mediterranean Chicken Panini and in the picture, it looks like it would be both bland and a lot of flavor at once, but it was definitely better than it looked to me. I am not a fan of bell pepper but I will say the few bites I had before taking the peppers out was tolerable and complemented the sandwich. The staff was also helpful and friendly during the time that I was ordering my food. I also noticed that there were several dessert options that looked appealing to me and I would definitely be interested in trying a few of these desserts out. I have quite a sweet tooth, so if everything tastes great I will be coming here more often. Location-wise, this place is easy to miss, so you really have to search for this location since it is a bit more removed from your usual shopping centers. I think having a more obvious sign closer to the road could help bring in more customers to enjoy the different options they have available here. Although I think there are some improvements that can be made, forsure this location is on my list to try again. read more

I am Gluten Free and saw the reviews and stars and immediately wanted to try this place. Especially since they said all of their items are gluten free and their bread is made in house! We ordered from door dash the following items: - California Sandwich with Mediterranean chicken, and paleo rosemary bread with the aioli on the side. - Wild Smoked salmon salad without onions & cranberries Let's start with the salad: Absolutely NOT worth $16 AT ALL! There were soggy lettuce greens, OLD STALE APPLE SLICES, stale almond slivers and the salmon was extremely stinky, with the skin on, which left an extremely fishy taste throughout the whole salad. Let alone.. the piece itself was smaller than my index finger!! I could go to Whole Foods and get a much better, bigger & fresher salad for the same price. Honestly felt like the ingredients had been sitting in containers for days until they got an order.. Moving on to the sandwich: The bread was a total disappointment. Rock hard, and extremely dry. Had to remove the bread and put my own gluten free bread. While I understand paleo bread might be on the dry side.. this one was hard to put down. Felt like it was made three weeks ago. The chicken and ingredients were great but thank goodness we got the aioli on the side because not only did it not have flavor but it was separating. Honestly.. not worth it and would rather go to Nectarine grove which has gluten free options with bigger portions and better taste and same price (both of these cost a total of $39!) Very unfortunate as I had high hopes. read more

Amazing quality! the bluey drink is a MUST! kinda pricey for a smoothie but it was hands down the best smoothie ive ever tried. I also ordered a roasted veggie salad with chicken pesto and you can really taste how fresh and high quality the ingredients are. I cant wait to go back! read more

Clean, Organic, Local. Reasonably priced. I am a local and it's hard to find good clean food that is delicious like this restaurant. This is definitely a gem and I will be back. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. And the cookies were excellent. read more

If you are looking for healthy vegan food and gluten free items, this is the place! This is my 3er time there and I'm always positively satisfied with the food. BTW the guy behind the counter provides top notch service and helpful explanations about items and food offering. The last time I went easy with just a pastry and a matcha drink. I have tried the vegan tacos and the vegan sandwich in the past. Both delish! read more

A+ food and service! Sometimes it can be hard finding a good gluten-free restaurant, but not today! Healthy Creations served us tasty breakfast sandwiches and pumpkin spice cake. Very clean space, and laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend for those with celiac. read more

This place used to be the best! I'd order my breakfast sandwiches daily and was never disappointed. Things change though I guess /: back in the area & ordered some breakfast sandwiches for my family & I, unfortunately they made the sandwiches 45 minutes before the DoorDash was expected to arrive. So between that & the 10-15 minutes it took for the dasher to get our food to us, our food had been sitting for probably over an hour. The sandwiches were cold & rock hard. Couldn't even eat them/: $77 down the drain.. totally bummed read more

Really amazing food! I got the "ricotta" quiche, Buddha bowl, and a lemon vinaigrette side salad. Plus the cupcake was delicious too. Food tasted fresh, light, and flavorful. Vegan-friendly and paleo-friendly! Also the matcha was good but very read more

I love this place. I made it my birthday plan and was so happy I did. Being gluten free can be really difficult and it's so nice to feel safe, relaxed and to ENJOY a lunch out!! Their Mediterranean panini was delicious! Cupcakes... mmm I also bought some English muffins that were wonderful, and bagels, which were not my cup of tea- very hard but loved the English muffins Please stay in business because you're my new favorite spot!! Thanks!! read more

Such good food and healthy too!! I loveeee this place! Highly reccomend. Coffee, lunch and desserts r the best.

I've been here twice. I live in Orange County, but when I am fortunate enough to be in this area for work, I'm going to come here every time! The first time I got the low mercury tuna wrap with lemon aïoli and it was so good! Plus, I took home some baked goods and some soups in their frozen section. Everything was amazing. I went back a few days ago, and I got the California wrap. I added bacon, and I switched the sun-dried tomato aïoli for the lemon aïoli and, OMG... It was so, so, so good! I really wish we had one of these in Orange County! I can't wait to go back! But in the meantime, I took plenty with me. The only thing I wouldn't give five stars to would be the coffee. I tried a latte the first time, and was not impressed. But honestly, I really don't care about that. I just need great places to eat gluten-free safely. This place does the trick, but not just that... It is truly delicious! read more

Lovely ambiance and the falafel wrap is delish. All the veggies are super crispy and fresh.

This was a perfect sandwich on a warm summer day. Tasted delicious and was exactly what I expected. I was able to order in advance, so I could just pop in and pick it up and take it to my favorite park to enjoy. read more

I was so beyond excited to try Healthy Creations Cafe! My friend and I were waiting until they reopened. Today was the day, my friend's birthday breakfast! I was so excited to try all they had to offer, and then I just wanted to cry!!! The PALEO WAFFLE was hard as a rock! I mean my fork couldn't cut it so I had to use my knife and finally gave up and ate it like a cracker. Best part was the fresh berries and 3 grapes on the side. Also I had a very busy day and so I ordered the CALIFORNIA CHICKEN SANDWICH ON MULTIGRAIN BREAD for dinner to eat later. At breakfast, again I was excited so I broke off a piece of the multi grain bread. Ummmm tasted like a moldy rock. So hard and the flavor turned my stomach. I decided I would try and salvage the filling and discovered the chicken was way over cooked. No moisture at all, good thing I had dressing on the side to give it moisture! Again the best part of the meal was the berries on the side. One star rating was for the speed of our order and the berries. Oh and my friend ordered the cashew coconut coffee for over $6 & threw it away. Splitting the check w my friend I paid $33 In my opinion it was $33 wasted! read more

Wow. Food is SO GOOD. As a fellow person with a gluten allergy, this place has been a god send. My body always feels so good after eating here. The baked fresh goods are so so good also. read more

I docked 1 star because the cinnamon roll was disgusting...worst I've ever had. Pricey like $7, stale, and tastes like eating granulated bitter sugar. The frosting made me gag. Costco makes WAY better cinnamon rolls. The Mediterranean Chicken paleo wrap was tasty...good flavor. Just keep in mind the wrap has a wet rice paper-like texture The roasted veggie quinoa bowl with added lemon chicken was fresh and delicious. I'd order it again. read more

This place is always chaos. Really poor service. Even if they aren't busy the tables are dirty I get half my order delivered to my table and ask where the rest is and she just points at the front and walks away. I left a tip at the register when I paid for this? Assuming I come back I won't be dumb enough to leave a tip again. Don't even think about coming here on a weekend morning by the way. Chaos times ten. High prices mean you should provide good food AND service. read more

Something for everyone here. I get the Reuben, wifey loves the salmon salad, kids get smoothies. The service is good just slow. I still recommend though! read more

Loved the nutrizo vegan tacos! Always happy to find a place like this in my neighborhood. Can't wait to try the Budha bowl or breakfast tacos! Staff was very nice also. read more

There are so many yummy options here, but their breakfast egg sammie is a new favorite for me! Originally I thought it was too small to be fulfilling, but it really is the perfect size. I love their gluten free english muffins even just by themselves. they kind of taste like biscuits, especially if you microwave them for a few seconds to make them nice and doughy. I stopped meal prepping for a while because their prepared foods (in the refrigerated/ready to go section) are delicious, healthy and a huge time saver. everything is amazing - their chicken pot pies, turkey lasagna, chicken tikka masala and grass fed beef chili. so much food for an affordable price that I can use for multiple meals during the week. PS the staff is always super friendly and accommodating. read more

Wonderful food that is healthy and fresh. My go to is the roasted vegetable power bowl. It comes with goat cheese, but I sub for vegan cashew cheese, which is my favorite. You have a choice of quinoa, brown rice or cauliflower rice. It is fresh, colorful, and satisfying. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but my vegan BLTA was not what I expected. They use coconut for the "bacon," but it was so sweet! I was not looking for a sweet sandwich. I thought the bread was just ok as well. T loved his california sandwich though. I also got a vegan brownie that was ok. They do have options including desserts to cater to various dietary restrictions, and they have a lot of fresh bread. read more

Great place for tasty gluten free, keto, vegan options. Their in house made kombucha is amazing.

Finally - I found the best paleo/health cafe in North San Diego! After visiting a few duds for the last year, I was thinking nothing like this existed, but once I saw paleo waffles on the menu I knew there was hope. I visited on a Sunday morning around 11:30am and it wasn't packed at all. You pick up a menu next to the register, purchase what you want, and it's delivered to you at a table. The number of breakfast, lunch, and smoothie options were phenomenal! Ended up ordering the BLTAE - Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and egg along with a Turkey Brie sandwich for my husband. After waiting about 10 minutes our food comes out and looks amazing, the bacon is perfectly crisp, the avocado fresh, and the egg is tender but not smelly. Will definitely be back! read more

Service: the person who took my order was great. The person who was supposedly supposed to MAKE my order, was talking to a lady at the counter for 10+ minutes..... I waited and expected my drink order to come out and then realized it was the guy who'd been talking to that lady for 10+ minutes that was supposed to be making my drink. I stood up and got behind the lady to ask where my drink was. He realized that there were other customers and went to the ticket printer and there were like 3-4+ tickets!!!! Food: my drink was some cacao drink. It was okay, but that great. And I got the Brie/Artichoke quiche or something and brought it home. It was totally flavorless and bland!!!! Not worth the $13-15 I spent on the two items. :( read more

The Best Gluten Free place I have ever been to!!! The pastries are absolutely delicious, the paninis are also to die for, and everyone in there is super nice! I'm really happy this place exists read more

This place is wonderful! My friend who eats plant-based suggested this spot and it's wonderful. I don't really eat plant-based but I enjoy tasty, nutrient-dense foods. I got the Greek power bowl and added Mediterranean chicken and it didn't disappoint! Packed with flavor and really hit the spot. It was also quite filling! The prices here are super reasonable and everything is pretty customizable so you can order to your dietary preferences. When I'm in the area, I'll be back! read more

Having sifted through several brekkie/lunch places, I finally found one that offers gf and vegan options in abundance, and have an excellent Yelp review! I was contemplating between the vegan blta and the med panini with veg and pesto with cashew mozarella cheese and I settled with the vegan blta! I'm glad I went for this as it was absolutely, out of the world, delish! I initially thought I wouldn't be full but the portion worked well! A lot more expensive than your average place but that's what you get for high quality ingredients. Oh, and I had vegan coconut bacon in my sandwich! It was sooo good! I'd go back for the same sandwich again! I would have loved a side of fries or chips with that meal but overall this cute shop is worth a try. We didn't have an issue with parking nor was there a wait time for a table. That's how all Saturdays should be! To end that perfect meal, the hubby and I bought a vegan and gf chocolate brownie and it was absolutely gooey! I did not mind the chocolate around my teeth at all! Highly recommend this brownie! read more
