Excellent breakfast today! I had the gluten free plain pancakes and bacon. Very good. My wife had an egg, potatoes and toast plate. All very good. Great coffee and very nice servers! Thank you all. See you again. read more

Had a latte and artichoke scramble and wow, the blandness! Artichokes tasted flavorless and from a can. The scramble didn't taste like it had any sort of seasoning, not even salt. The salsa was okay but a little on the sweet side. The rosemary potatoes had a bit too much rosemary to the point where it tasted soapy but I was almost happy there was SOME sort of seasoning going on there for me. My partner got a mimosa and it seemed like it had real/fresh orange juice in it so that was lovely. The atmosphere is nice outside and it was a beautiful spot to sit and eat, just wish the food had been better. read more

While in the Carlsbad Village we stopped here at the Naked Cafe.  It is an indoor/outdoor restaurant with lots of patio seating. I saw a group with 4 different plates and they all looked good. While my girlfriend was in a store I skimmed through the menu and decided that this would be worth a shot for our first meal of the day. The menu is varied and has a lot of great breakfast, brunch, and lunch options. The food seems to be on the healthier and organic side but also has something for everyone.  I had the Buff Burrito with a side of rosemary potatoes and my girlfriend had the Artichoke scramble. Our food was really good and overall we liked the variety of the menu but we agreed that the wait was much longer than expected. The food was fresh and the service was good but it took a while to come out. We didn't realize that they closed at 2:30 but there seemed to be a rush before then. Our food came out, but then there was a line of people with to-go orders that were standing right next to us. There were so many people lined up to next to us that the couple at the table parallel to us moved to another table.  We enjoyed the food and service but the time that it took, although worth the wait, was kind dampered by the line of people standing next to us while we were trying to dine. I would still suggest this place for the menu and service but time of day and seating may impact your experience. read more

I had the hot chocolate and it was amazing,rich, and creamy, exceeding my standers. I also got the strawberry and chocolate chip pancakes which were so good that I couldn't finish. My family, who were also sitting at the table, also loved the meal. My mother had a chi latte and the coffee maker must have been very skilled because the honey on top was an excellent design. I would gladly go again. read more

Love Naked Cafe. My go to is the pesto scramble...healthy but flavorful. They have excellent herbal teas as well. Love the mint green tea and their coffee is outstanding. Their salsa is quite tasty. Service was great and we sat on the patio. Left fill but feeling good about my food choices. This is my favorite brunch spot! read more

I had really wanted to try this place out for awhile and finally went today. I had the Yin/yang done "vegan" so without the cheese and sour cream. The idea was exactly what I had been craving so I was excited to try it. Sadly I was disappointed. It was roasted rosemary potatoes which I couldn't taste any rosemary...black beans which overpowered everything else and too much of... it had a few other veggies in it but they were chopped very big and didn't really get cooked. Lastly they put cilantro in it but didn't actually cook it with the food just put like big whole sprigs on top?!! Even if they meant for it as a garnish it needs to be chopped a bit! I love cilantro but not trying to eat whole sprigs of eat. Unfortunately they missed the mark. I wanted to try their pancakes out as well.... but not sure I want to come back. read more

The food and coffee was so delicious. I got the bacon avocado toast with potatoes and everything was so delicious. The ice mocha coffee was also great! I'll definitely come back here and try other dishes. Lots of options! So good! read more

Sorry no pics! Too hungry. Anyway, the food is great! I wasn't expecting to love my artichoke scrabble, but I did. The coffee was exceptional. So smooth and tasty. Great service although the wait time was a bit long. Understandable as the state CA just fully opened up three days prior to me writing this review. There's a bit of a time capsule for you dear reader. read more

one of my favorite places. its right in village faire plaza in carlsbad village. they have tons of healthy and delicious foods like breakfast bowls with quinoa eggs avocado beans. their lattes are spectacular. not too sweet but they have a lot of speciality cool options for gourmet lattes. service is always pretty good and the outdoor seating is wonderful to see all the people shopping. great vibe! read more

Went here for our lunch break but it was more of a brunch. This was my first time here so we were on a time crunch but it was worth the wait! I got something on their specials of the week. It was the Chilaquiles! I got potatoes as my side, I got sunny side up eggs and added vegan chorizo! It was so so delish! Everything was savory. The vibe here is so nice and the staff is very friendly and attentive! There is outside and inside seating. Everything is so cute about this place and I'd recommend! They have a lot of healthier options! You honestly don't feel guilty eating this bc it's so good lol! 10/10! read more

This is based on my last visit which was late 2019-before COVID. Food: excellent Cleanliness: great Prices: appropriate Location: love the location Service: overall pleasant experience, except lack of refill service. Also, food took too long to come out. read more

First off, you can't beat the location. It's in a nice little mall with coastal vibes, and sitting outside is just fun. Service: Our waitress was very nice and attentive, we had no issues. Drink: Our table shared the Mimosa Pitcher (available in multiple flavors). We were a little shocked at the price point compared to other Mimosa portions elsewhere, but once we had a glass we knew the Champagne to Juice ratio was worth it. Food: I ordered the Green & Red Pagoda, which I found quite enjoyable! My friend got the Transcendence Wrap, which he also enjoyed. Overall, no objections to the food. COVID: We sat outdoors, tables were spaced apart, staff were wearing masks properly, hand sanitizer was available. read more

Fresh and delicious! The service here is prompt and courteous. Our server Rachel was very understanding, patient and offered recommendations. We took her recommendations for the quesadilla and the coconut caramel latte and it did not disappoint. I can't wait to come back and try the full menu. Super calming ambiance with music at a great volume level as well! It's the details that really matter here! I am sure you'll enjoy your experience. read more

We stopped in at Naked Cafe for breakfast on a recent trip to Carlsbad, and the place was busy as usual. Now that's e've experienced dining there we know why the crowd. The service is excellent, and the food is also quite good. I'm on a health kick lately, and I have very specific dietary requirements, and they were very accommodating. My wife and I enjoyed both the food, the service, and the vibe.I'd recommend Naked Cafe without reservation. read more

Stopped here by accident. Really good. Had the yin & yang OMG soo good. Also had Naked Matcha and Chai latte. Girls here very nice and courteous. I recommend this spot read more

5/5 stars to the server for saving us from the bees and teaching us how to wave em on their way! I didn't like my dish the calexxican. The dish wasn't my taste, I don't usually favor vegan chorizo, that's my bad. We discussed how Mexicali could really work for its name lol My friend had an AWESOME coconut French toast. Arnold Palmer and OJ was DELICIOUS. Overall REFRESHING experience !! It's a wonderful place for brunch. There was live music the day we came out. Loved it. read more

Super cute little brunch spot in a courtyard surrounded by boutiques and a fountain! The food is awesome!! We ordered the Rising Sun Burrito with bacon bits (highly recommend ordering a side of their yummy salsa with it), Rainbow Salad (beautiful and fresh), Coconut French Toast ( just omg. no words. fabulous.), and Carrot Ginger Soup (super flavorful and complex with a little kick) and loved our food. We had a few issues with our first server getting our food and sides out, but the AWESOME manager, KERRI saved the day and personally handled making sure we got everything and even comped us a latte for the inconvenience. She was super helpful and sweet and made the rest of our lunch! Thanks Naked Cafe and thanks Kerri! read more

I enjoyed having a meal with a girlfriend- it was our first time at this cafe and we both enjoyed our meals- the service was great, too. The Rising Sun quesadilla was very flavorful. I would recommend you give this cafe a try. We ate inside but they also have tables outside. read more

Naked Cafe has a unique breakfast menu. I get the veggies burritos. They're a 4 out of 5. I would prefer them crispy and with a little more flavor. I do love their gluten free pancakes! Overall good spot for breakfast! read more

They're re-opened and have a good amount of outdoor seating available! I love that the waitresses were very helpful and made sure that the table and chairs were wiped down after every patron finished there. Got the naked mocha which was delicious! I'm not a big fan of coffee, but their mocha was sweet and paired perfectly with the whip cream. The Burrito we got was filling for breakfast, but I wish it was a bit bigger for the price we paid. The plate came with two mini burritos that were super cute. As far as the flavor goes though, I loved how the salsa paired perfectly with the chicken and egg whites. read more

This is my favorite brunch spot in all of north county! I come here all the time and I have never had a bad experience. The staff are almost always friendly, and the food never misses. I love that when I order to go the quality doesn't change! My favorite item is probably the French toast (coconut crusted) and the avo toast! I just can't seem to get enough. They also make a variety of speciality mimosas which are so good! I love the lavender one! I love the outdoor dining in experience so much with the larger dining area. read more

Delicious food. Many fun tasty options. Sweet, efficient service. I would recommend it to everyone. read more

We randomly came across this restaurant while looking for a brunch spot on yelp. I got a naked matcha latte and a rising sun quesadilla. The latte was okay but I thought the quesadilla was really overpriced. The taste was so mediocre and lacked flavor. Honestly, I felt that I could make a way better quesadilla than what I got. I don't know how they could mess up on such a simple dish. I was pretty disappointed and thought all the food options were pretty overpriced. I'm sure there are better brunch spots nearby. read more

Healthy substantial portions and waitstaff cool. Wide set of options especially for breakfast. Outdoor seating is nice albeit hectic on weekends. read more

Don't eat here unless you've got 2 hours to kill. I showed up here with a friend at 9:00 a.m. on a Sunday. There was only one other party there. We ordered coffee and food immediately. The waiter put in our order at 9:03 a.m. and came back with the coffee. Then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. All around us, other people got their food. Small parties, large parties - entire families who showed up after us got their food. The waiter briefly stopped by the table to say, "The food is working." Still we waited. FORTY-FIVE MINUTES after we ordered, I flagged down the server and asked where the food was. He said the manager told him our order hadn't even been processed yet. They hadn't even STARTED making our food. They completely ignored us. (Remember: This was AFTER he said "The food is working" - which is as false as it is nonsensical.) The waiter apologized and said he'd try to comp our meal. He said the manager would be out to personally apologize. Our meal finally arrived around 10:00 a.m., about an hour after we ordered it. It was...OK. The waiter arrived with the check - hey, at least they ask for money in a timely manner! - and, lo and behold, the food wasn't comped. He knocked $17 off our bill, but we still had to pay for the rest of it. As for the manager's apology? Well, the manager had told the waiter he was too busy to be bothered with us, so he never showed up. Horrible experience. Horrible manager. Food was OK, but we shouldn't have to wait an hour for it when we're the only people in the restaurant. read more

The food was not fresh nor made of good quality. The worse thing was the hair I found in my food which is completely disgusting, and it did not look like hair from one's head. I immediately vomited in the rest room. After showing her my food, and asked not to remake it; she had the nerve to say: I hope this experience doesn't keep you from coming back again? I kept my silence, and left. I will never go back there to eat again. read more

Just finished breakfast here. REALLY really good. Cute place in a little outdoor shopping area. Sat outside, which I love. I had the blueberry pancakes, and my daughter had the coconut French toast. The blueberry pancakes were VERY tasty. I think of myself as a bit of a pancake connoisseur, and these were some of the best I've had. Came out hot, with butter melting on top. That's always a good sign when the butter is melting. Nothing worse than cold or lukewarm pancakes. My daughter loved her coconut French toast. I also had fresh squeezed OJ. solid. Service was very good. Attentive, friendly. Just a really good breakfast experience. I'm glad that we stopped in on our last day in Carlsbad. read more

ONE WORD...AMAZING !!!! Such a FUN menu, I wanted one of everything!! I am vegan and gluten-free and I was pleasantly surprised to see such GREAT vegan and gluten-free options! Michael was out waiter and he was so patient with his recommendations! He recommended their special Mother Earth Tea Latte, eight Almond Milk, spirulina and macha, so delicious read more

the person taking my order really shouldn't be taking orders.

I can't stay away from this place... and I've never had a bad meal. Everything is so delicious... and I plan my trips for off hours so I can enjoy prime seating and excellent service. (It's also a place my teen loves - so it allows for mother/son dates, too!) Highly recommend! read more

A gem!! A freaking Gem!! Hit this place up while on a girls trip and it was so good! The coffee was spectacular ( I am a coffee snob) and the food was top notch. Had the avocado toast with egg and bacon...so far the best I've had!! I have been trying to duplicate this in my valley but not luck....which means I have to go back to Naked Cafe!! The homemade breads...also delicious!! Pumpkin chocolate chip and zucchini....melt in your mouth!! Love the patio!! Made our trip to Carlsbad even better! Go! Try everything!! You won't be disappointed!! read more
