Food was amazing and service was great! Sofie was very sweet and made the experience memorable. The other day when we came in they also gave us a free banana bread after we changed our mind about what we wanted. Also super kid friendly, they were very accommodating of our 12 month old! read more

The food is delicious and healthy. The service is wonderful and the servers warm and helpful. We were served by Sophie today and she was accommodating by sharing options for my meal. Beautiful and peaceful back patio. The inside is nice as well. read more

5+ stars for their house made salsa! The food is great and healthy with low/lowish calorie options, but the salsa that comes with most entrees is amazing and worth it alone. Staff is friendly and great service too. Be sure to sit in outdoor area in the back which is very pleasant and surrounded by tall trees -- nicer with a shady spot, or one with good table umbrella coverage. By the way, you can buy a 12 oz container of salsa if they have enough for around $8. Best to check after their lunch crowd. ---------------------- NOTE: This review is entirely my own and written solely at my own initiative.

I was meeting a friend for a walk and picnic on the beach and didn't feel like cooking or preparing anything. Naked Cafe was on my way, so I did what was easiest and what I hadn't done before: I placed my order through Naked Cafe's website and picked it up. The entire experience was super-smooth and exceeded my expectations. There are so many wonderful options on the menu that the only challenging aspect of this experience was deciding what to order. I landed on the Golden Goddess Salad, which I hadn't tried before. Ingredients: mixed greens, sliced almonds, crumbled feta, diced mango, green onion, tomato, golden raisins, and pomegranate vinaigrette. Ordering was, for the most part, a simple check-the-box experience. I paid via Apple Pay and immediately received an order confirmation via email. My order was estimated to be ready for pickup within about 20 minutes. Less than 15 minutes later, I received a text that my order was likely ready. When I arrived, my order was ready and waiting, and the server who brought it to me made sure that napkins and utensils were in the bag. My friend and I took a nice long walk on the sand before we had lunch. When we settled down in our chairs to eat and enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean spread in front of us, I wondered if the greens in my Golden Goddess Salad had wilted in the box. I was very pleased to see that everything held up well, which might have been because the weather was cooler and because the salad was served with the vinaigrette in a little container on the side rather than already mixed into the salad. The salad was colorful and flavorful. I loved it and I'd order it again. Best of all, I got to enjoy it while spending quality time with a good friend and watching the magic of a real goddess at work: Mother Nature. read more

Fantastic food and perfect service from Sophie today. We had lots of personalizations and requests- all met and with a smile. Will be back for the ginger carrot soup! read more

Good food good ingredients. We feel taken care of as well. Have been coming here for years. Never disappointed.

Food was flavorful and arrived looking great on the plate. Tried this new to us venue. Personal service with a smile! Liked the fresh ingredients and seasonal menu. read more

Yum!! I don't know how I JUST came across Naked Cafe in Encinitas - I have been missing out! Great selection of breakfast/brunch items and a fun coffee/tea menu. The inside is cute too and staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered the Yin & Yang bowl + the Bacon Avocado toast with potatoes and both were an A+. I enjoyed them both but would happily branch out to try something else since so many other menu items looked good. Definitely worth a visit when in Encinitas. The location is unassuming but in a popular strip mall. Parking is easy and it wasn't busy when I visited on a weekday morning. Food was ready quickly and they happily accommodated a couple special requests we had. Will return when in the area! read more

When I lived here in Cardiff and Encinitas, I used to eat here all the time. I wish there was one in Seal Beach or Long Beach! And when I lived in Hawaii, that's where it definitely is needed! It has always been a place where I would come to eat clean and healthy food. Fresh ingredients, tasty, great combinations. Who would've thought brown rice and veggies could ever make a great combo as a meal that you would pay for lol however, their sauces and mixtures and flavors really make their entrées so tasty... To the point that I always crave eating here. Flash forward, I'm in town visiting and as always, I stop in to order my favorite meal, the Dual Goddess, of course with extra peanut sauce on the side. It has zucchinis, brown rice, broccoli, carrots, and then small bite-sized (Note I said bite-size not big chunks) of ginger marinated steak and chicken. Dishes like these tend to have their protein cut so that you have to use a knife to cut them into smaller pieces... Not here! The flavors are so good and then add the peanut sauce... Chef's kiss! The cherry on top of my experience is the service. My server, Brittney, was so warm, friendly, and welcoming. She had a few tables ahead of me but acknowledged my presence so that I knew she would be with me when she had a chance. She was very accommodating and helpful in her recommendations... I ordered the pistachio latte, one of their summer specials, 10 out of 10! I ordered it hot. It was so delicious and they added a little sprinkle of Matcha on top. I am not a Matcha fan... At least not an entire cup of it. But sprinkled on top was perfect. It brought out the pistachio flavor yet offset it so it wasn't too heavy on pistachio! Everything was fabulous... Even down to the food runner, Reese. He was so friendly and efficient... This place is a 10 out of 10 and I will continue to come back and support this local business. If we had one in Seal Beach or Long Beach, I would be there every day... And I would be broke lol ! read more

A locals favorite serving healthy and environmentally conscious breakfast, lunch, and handcrafted beverages. I found myself in this plaza and just needed an afternoon pick me up so I treated myself to a naked matcha latte. This drink ended up being one of the best matchas I've ever had and I couldn't stop staring at the beautiful palm tree latte art that was made out of cinnamon. My server was Sophie and everyone dining that day knows her. Clearly a favorite with all the locals. She brought me over a slice of their chocolate pumpkin loaf and said it was on the house. So sweet! I took it with me and enjoyed it at the beach later that day and again it ended up being one of the best loafs I've ever tried. Very moist, flavorful, and super chocolaty. Thank you so much Sophie and can't wait to see you again and this time dine-in. read more

Naked Cafe - Pumpkin chocolate bread - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Encinitas, California

Stopped by for some brunch with friends! While the food was okay, the service was quite slow and they did not check on us to fill our waters or pay the check which was a bit bizarre. I got the yin and yang bowl which was alright, the top layer that had the jalapeños and sour cream was good but the rest of it lacked flavor and really tasted of potatoes and beans. However I liked that it came with a fresh tortilla. My boyfriend got the huevos rancheros and seemed to have the same problem with his food lacking any seasoning and flavor. Our friends seemed to enjoy their food and coffees. Overall we loved the various food options but the lack of flavor and poor service made the experience a bit weird. The workers didn't seem particularly socialable and again, they never checked on us so we were left with empty waters and waited for a significant time to pay our bill. Can't say I'd want to come back for brunch as the food resembled something We could make at home. read more

Naked café continues to be one of my favorite spots! They always have such creative and yummy specials. If you want a healthy take on a lot of favorites , naked is the place to go.

Service was warm and welcoming from the start. Sophie was our server, and she was fantastic--she gave us great menu recommendations and even suggested some modifications that worked out perfectly. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the Thai tacos, and wow--so flavorful! I'll definitely be ordering them again on my next visit. My husband went with the quesadilla, adding chicken, light pesto, and light cheese. He really enjoyed it, though personally, I'd go for the regular version with full pesto and cheese. The drinks were just as good. The cold brew was smooth, strong, and not acidic--exactly how I like it. The Americano was also excellent. We sat out on the patio, which had a refreshing breeze and made the whole experience even better. Overall, we'll definitely be back! read more

Great service and healthy food for the whole family. Love the beverage menu and mimosa options. Everything is fresh, and the portions are plenty. read more

Service was friendly. This is one of the few eateries with descent vegan options. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Hubby and I ordered the crunchy burritos and substituted the egg for tofu. I also ordered a side of the vegan coconut French toast which was pretty delicious. The burritos were good but small. I was glad I had ordered the side of vegan French toast. Hubby; however, felt the burritos were pretty small and still felt hungry. They came with a side of black beans and a small dollop of fried potatoes. My daughter had the kids vegan pancake and it was shaped like Mickey Mouse and came with a side of fruit. We also had a mocha latte with oat milk, sans the whip. It came with a few chocolate chips on the side but I'd didn't ask if they were vegan or not so we didn't consume them. The baby had little bits of everyone's food. Overall, I enjoyed the food and plan to return. We appreciated the vegan options. read more

My family has been going to Naked Cafe in Encinitas almost every Sunday for several years. The food is delicious. The ambiance is great especially outside! But the service is exceptional! Jade, Sophie, Patrick, and Reese are like family. Obviously, we love going to Naked, and would give it at least 10 stars! read more

Terrific food. Great selections. Super healthy options that taste great too! Our server, Patrick, was fantastic and funny and helpful all at the same time. The matcha lattes - yum, perfection, as was my chai latte (perfect blend of sweet and chai spice!). Omelets and gluten free options galore - this is a "must do" restaurant! read more

Sophia is the GOAT. The food is great here and we always get good service. I recommend the cwispy burritos

Best breakfast i have had in a very long time! My server Sophie was amazing, and her service was great! Great place to go if you want good quality food that is also reasonably priced. Definitely will be coming here every Sunday! read more

Sophia is tuff! Super nice and a wonderful server. Croissant was fye. I have gotten the hammerhead 6 or 7 times and it's great every time.

This place needs more staffing. Especially for the servers. Because honestly at first I was annoyed but after we just felt bad. And if it was communicated to us the reason everyone was so behind I believe it would've made the process more understandable in the moment. Me and my friends waited over 30 minutes for waters where my friend had to go up and ask. She ordered a coffee and got it 40ish minuets later with her food. We've never had issue with this chain. My friend is a server and was trying to be on her side for the first half but then it got to a point where it was just like ... it's not even worth it. Ambiance had much potential! Very cute! But very dirty. Our server seemed very distressed. read more

I came by this place while on the way to Carlsbad on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't busy at 11:45ish, which is usual lunch/late brunch rush. I got the Blue Planet latte, though I should've gotten the Ocean Blue latte, because espresso is a bit much for me. However it was so cute with the lil cinnamon bow! Very smooth too. My boyfriend got the Chagaccino and he was so excited to taste mushroom liquid. Unluckily for him? it tastes exactly like coffee! But that's so innovative, I love it! Delicious all the same. He also got the Crispy Burrito and it's crispy indeed. The cilantro was an odd garnish? I am not a fan unless it's incorporated and hidden. It has vegan sausage and egg, pretty filling along with the side of black beans. I chose the Pesto Chicken Wrap because I'm a sucker for sun dried tomatoes and pesto. I didn't get too much pesto flavor though since I do like my stuff drowning in sauce. The interior is very cute, quite San Diegan, and very open and bright. The wall decor is also for sale! This place is a bit more expensive due to its whole ingredients but you get what you pay for. read more

I love this place! I started coming here daily for Chagaccinos, not only because they're delicious but because the staff are so friendly and kind. Jade, Sophie, Patrick, Hanna and Lauren know how to provide excellent service! I love hanging on the back patio when I need a nice atmosphere to work and eat. I always get the gluten free fuzzy monkey pancakes and their rainbow salad with sesame ginger chicken. my boyfriend and I usually split these two meals for brunch, SO filling and delicious. I'm a regular for the incredible ambiance, service and food. I always feel welcome here and keep coming back for more. read more

My local friends graciously took me out for lunch today to catch up and break bread. The cafe is located in a strip mall, BUT it has a really nice patio out back which was perfect today since it was overcast, somewhat warm, and the sun wouldn't cause me to burst into flames. I got the basic breakfast with scrambled eggs, potatoes, and toast. Everything was delicious and the serving size was just right. My two lunch friends both got a Thai-inspired bowl with steak, chicken, veggies, and rice. Next time I'll get what they got! The staff was super attentive and friendly. read more
