    Yin & Yang Bowl
    Kylie P.

    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!

    Local artist decor

    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 !

    The most amazing slice of homemade pumpkin chocolate loaf. Thanks Sophie!
    Ania K.

    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.

    Pumpkin chocolate bread
    Kelly G.

    The patio is such a find! Around the back, it's perfect for pups, kids, solo reading and groups. I love this place. The food is always so satisfying. The chocolate pumpkin bread is honestly the best thing I've ever eaten. Such a find! Support small businesses!!

    Coffee
    Rhondie B.

    Amazing coffee and food! Took my family of 3 here and we all got different plates... even the gluten free pancake was delicious. I'm a vegetarian so I loved the wrap with vege sausage. Service was quick and the atmosphere is comfortable. I will definitely be back!! There is lots of parking and the option to sit inside or out on the cute back patio area.

    Yin & Yang Bowl
    Marissa M.

    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.

    Toasted marshmallow mocha latte
    Julia R.

    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 is quick, it actually took longer to make my coffee than my meal. Servers are friendly, and the back door patio is so cute! Fit with many heat lamps.

    Thai chicken tacos

    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!

    Coconut French Toast (vegan version)
    Mirna E.

    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.

It's tough to get a table for a weekend noon. I booked our reservation a few weeks ahead of time. Parking is either near the train tracks across the street or on the curb. We got the egg dish and salad bowl. The yogurt for the eggs was deliciously spiced; dipping in the toasted bread into the gooey poached egg, creamy yogurt, and herbs was delicious! My issue with this dish were the herbs that were too large. Was I expected to stick a big piece of herb on my toast? The dish is saucy with the chili oil so my clothes were dirty with the oil covered herbs. Chop the herbs smaller for practicality! Another dish suffered from the execution. We got the bowl which I thought was going to be a grain bowl. Rather, it was a ridiculously-sized salad--as much leaves as a pack from the grocery store! There were toppings within like slices of avocado, pieces of orange, farro, and nuts. I felt like I was trying to treasure hunt to look for these pieces. The salad was comically oversized. It was dressed fine but suffered from the portion size. You could see this theme with the French toast too where you get 1/3 of a baked bread. I'm honestly confused by this chef who has amazing experience. Why do you construct dishes that are difficult and impractical to eat? Less is more. These dishes need extensive edits. How this place got Bib Gourmand is honestly surprising to me.

Since it was a weekday, it wasn't too busy and we were seated right away. The restaurant is so cute and adorable. The interior feels cozy, charming, and very homey, just like the name suggests.

My friend ordered the Roasted Vegetable Omelet, which came with cottage potatoes and a vegan scone. She really enjoyed her meal, but the star of her plate was that scone. OMG, it was so good! Easily one of the best scones I've tried. I ordered the Chile Lime Shrimp Bowl, and let's just say there were no leftovers. It was light, fresh, flavorful, and packed with healthy ingredients. It felt like the perfect post workout meal, and I practically devoured the entire thing in record time. To go with brunch, I also ordered a hot matcha latte, which paired perfectly with my meal. If you're looking for a cute brunch spot in Encinitas with healthy options and homey vibes, The Cottage is definitely worth checking out.

Or wait are you at a table already" i thought it odd, i confirmed i was eating at a table or counter just had not picked it out yet. Then thats when i noticed other people just as confused as me. I went to the counter with my number. I started to notice that people already sitting and eating were being brought their check. And their orders being taken. So then it clicked- counter is for to go, if you dine in just sit at a table or counter and wait for someone to notice to take your order. Over all the food is good the macchiato was fantastic just confusing as a first timer going in. Its very busy for eating alone there is the counter spaces or for smaller parties that dont mind counter. Its good place to eat
