    Healthy, natural options made fresh to fuel you up for the day in the sun while keeping your calories manageable. Located just blocks away from the water and situated with an amazing view, Naked Cafe has nothing to hide but this hidden gem is off the well traveled highway 101 serving patrons inside and outside of their cozy bungalow-styled establishment. As you arrive (for many by foot), consider seating yourself at one of the many umbrella-shaded tables or venture inside to grab a seat. I saw a few folks with dogs so if you plan to come with your furry friend, the place seems to be well suited for them. For those looking to order takeout, simply walk up to the register and the staff will get you started. Their menu includes a variety of options like wraps, burritos, salads, bowls, tacos, pancakes, and other brunch-like items. Their drink menu is also extensive including alcohol like wines, mimosa and beer as well as coffees, teas and smoothies. You're bound to find something fitting that craving of yours or satisfying the nutrients needed for energizing your metabolism. I ended up ordering the pesto chicken wrap that also came with a side of chips. The wrap was loaded with succulent pieces of chicken and was very flavorful. The whole grain tortilla held up well throughout the meal and had good texture with each bite. The chips that came along were decent - had good crunch but lacked any kind of flavor. Fortunately the salsa came in clutch to kick things up a notch. The portions were also better than I had expected. The staff were friendly, efficient in placing our order and packaging it up, and thorough in fulfilling the order by including utensils and napkins as they handed the order to us. For takeout orders, they had given us an approximate wait time of 15 minutes and it was quite accurate. There wasn't much space to wait near the register so we ended up waiting near the front entrance near the sidewalk but after the 15 minutes, we made our way back to see that our order was in the process of getting packed up. Overall, Naked Cafe is a great spot to grab a light meal or lunch while soaking in so rays. With its open seating area covered only by the umbrellas at each table, you'll bask in the open air while consuming delicious plates made to order with fresh ingredients and healthy and sustainable options. For those with strict diets, you might want to seek this place out and see for yourself. The menu is anything but bare at Naked Cafe!

    NAKED CAFE @ SOLANA BEACH Parking was super convenient, there's plenty of street parking, or you can park in their four-hour free customer lot, which is also available for beachgoers. I came on a Sunday and had no trouble finding a spot. Naked Café is literally right by the beach, about a two minute walk, which makes the location absolutely beautiful. I've been to their Carlsbad location before, so I was really excited to finally check this one out. At first glance, this location is definitely much smaller than the Carlsbad one. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, but since it was a bit chilly being right on the coast, I preferred sitting indoors. It was pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon, so we waited about 30 minutes, which honestly wasn't too bad. One thing I did notice, though, is that the trash and recycling bins are right next to the line and outdoor seating, which made sitting outside a little less pleasant. Once we were seated, the staff were super friendly and welcoming. I ordered their iconic pesto avocado toast, which is hands down my favorite. It comes with a side of rosemary potatoes, and they are to die fornot greasy or deep-fried, but a much healthier and flavorful alternative. I also love their chocolate strawberry pancakes. My boyfriend and I split them, two pancakes for about $10, which felt like a great deal. He ordered the Green Heart quesadilla, which was also really good. We added avocado for an additional $3, and he paired it with a kombucha. The food came out in about 10 minutes, which was impressive given how busy it was. The interior is super beachy, cozy, and cute, and overall the food is consistently delicious. Entrées range around $15-$18, which is very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. I'd highly recommend stopping by especially if you can sit indoors. I'll definitely be coming back again.

    Very close to the beach Cute, small cafe offering whole food options. Outside seating is dog friendly. Many GF, vegetarian, and vegan options Parking is street parking I got the brown butter latte that is on special for the holidays and the bacon avocado toast The coffee was very good and they were able to personalize it to decaf and whole milk The avocado toast was very generous portion came with one sunny side up egg, what appeared to be an entire avocado, and two slices of thick cut bacon. The pesto was very tasty. Comes with potatoes on the side that we're not to my liking. No texture and they had tomatoes in them, which I'm not a fan of. I did have the tomatoes removed off of the avocado toast. Staff were friendly and interactive, but not overbearing .

    I've been coming here for over 20 years and I love it. Can't beat the location, the food is tasty and always consistent, the employees are always kind and accommodating. Good vibes all around. My only complaint would be that the bathroom does not have a changing table for babies. But they just redid the inside and expanded their espresso bar so maybe a bathroom upgrade is next! My favorite items are the rising sun quesadilla, crispy breakfast burritos, coconut French toast and sesame ginger tacos.

    I discovered Naked Cafe today while I was out at Fletcher Cove Beach with my little one. I was craving a coffee and it was conveniently right there. There was nice outdoor seating which was amazing because the weather was beautiful and there's views of the beach from there too. I ordered my coffee (honey cinnamon latte) and decided to try the steak tenderloin hash. Both were so delicious! We came about half an hour before they close for the day but the server was kind and let us order and chill for a bit. It was a nice little spot in a good area with good food so I would return when I'm in the area again!

    Solstice Burritos
    Renee N.

    Breakfast is by far my most favorite meal of the day. I always wake up hungry as some people wake up craving their first cup of coffee. Just feed me please! I had this café bookmarked for the Encinitas location, but my good friend told me this location was more scenic. She was so right! We came on a weekday and it was busy but we wanted to sit outside and enjoy the view and we were lucky enough to get a table right away. There is also indoor dining available as well but when you are on the coast, you usually want to sit outside. The café is dog friendly so we had my friends dog with us. The view is so nice across the street from Fletcher Cove Park and then Boom! there is the ocean. We started out with the Daydreamer Mimosa - champagne, fresh squeezed lemonade and lavender and the Pink Lotus Mimosa - champagne, fresh squeezed lemonade and raspberry. Both drinks were very refreshing and brought a nice buzz to the morning. So many great choices on the menu to choose from but I decided on the Solstice Burritos. This was such a good choice. The burritos were filled with scrambled eggs, jack cheese, green onion, tomato, flour tortilla, I added avocado, side of beans and rosemary potatoes. I really loved my meal and drink. Everything tasted so fresh and I would love to dine here again to try more of their dishes. For our vegan friends, they also serve you with many scrumptious dishes. Our server Michael was so kind and he made sure we were well taken care of even bringing some water over for my friends' dog. Thank you Michael for your fantastic service. Parking is complimentary on the street where you can find it. It is mixed residential/commercial in this area. I am so glad we came here to start our weekend off right by dining on the shores of the west coast.

    Very cute cafe right across the street from Fletcher Cove (beach and playground). Large outdoor patio as well as a cozy indoor dining area. Good for groups or small parties and very kid friendly--excellent kid's menu! The food was tasty but I've been there a few times and it was a little inconsistent. Love that they have a wide variety of options and a lot of healthy ones (that still look and sound delicious) too. My main complaint is the bees. As I mentioned I've been there multiple times and there are a lot of bees or wasps) not sure which) on the patio. We moved indoors twice and one time they were even inside. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to harm or remove the bees, but it did detract from our dining experience. Regardless I will still come back because it's a great neighborhood spot!

    Honey cinnamon latte
    Cindy P.

    Love this local brunch spot! It's right across from Fletcher's Cove beach. It has plenty of free parking spots, even on an Easter holiday weekend. The food was quick and oh so tasty! Michael, our server, was attentive but not too overbearing. He was very good about customizing my dish when I asked about replacing the pesto spread (due to a nut allergy). If you're looking for a casual beachy brunch spot, then get Naked right here! You won't regret it!

    The Welcome plate without toast
    Wendy G.

    The pros are a fantastic location next to Fletcher Cove, great service, and edible food. The cons are the bathroom, menus etc... were dirty, and the food was not good, just edible. I had the Welcome plate without toast. It said it came with tomatoes and green onion. I think I had two cherry tomatoes in my potatoes and a 3" piece of green onion on the side. The potatoes were partially burned and chewy, and way oversalted. The scrambled eggs were fine. If I come back it will be for a drink and a view.

    Dog menu

    Dog heaven and the human food is also delicious. We went on a Monday for lunch, and we were satiated. You can get fresh juice, and lots of healthy options, like Buff Burritos with egg whites that come with rosemary potatoes and black beans. The pancakes looked yummy, and our dog gave the scrambled eggs with chicken 4 paws up. Friendly service and beach breeze ambiance add to the experience. Very accommodating for dogs.

    We brought our three puppies to this dog friendly restaurant for brunch. If you don't mind sitting at this quaint spot, it's just a block away from the ocean. We ordered the endless summer tacos and the green & red pagoda along with a pomegranate and grapefruit juice and a cappuccino. The food was phenomenal and came to the table quick. The best tasting brown rice I've ever had. Tacos were amazing! Service didn't skip a beat! 5 stars! This is our new favorite for brunch!

That was cool. The staff here are friendly and knowledgeable of their products. I ordered their Citrus Celery juice. For a celery juice, it was well balanced with flavors of orange, apple, grapes, and grapefruit. My fiancé ordered the beet root smoothie with the cacao chips. This was also good. A little bit on the sweet side especially for being beet based. But still very refreshing and also well balanced out with the cacao. The açaí bowl was the best I ever had. The presentation said it all. It was paired well with green apple, raspberries, bananas, walnuts, all the oats, maybe Nutella drizzle and coconut shavings with Greek yogurt. I was down for a second bowl. But it was very filling. Once again a perfect blend of everything. We also tried the avocado toast. I was happy to see that this dish came with more than just avocado and toast. They included an egg arugula, and a tomato. Nowadays, that is way more than what other cafes offer. I thought it was a good price for what you got.

The menu is a little bit different than I remember, but still focuses on fresh and healthy. The girl working at the front used to also work at the PB Location and she's very friendly and knowledgeable. She also gave us samples of the berry smoothie and the green juice to try. I went with the golden milk latte to drink, and it was fabulous. I did have them add a shot of espresso to it because when I was ordering a latte, I definitely was looking for caffeine. It's lovely with turmeric, cinnamon, oat milk, MCT oil and black pepper. I also ordered the Hot Chick salad. It came out looking gorgeous. The salad tasted really good, the chicken was seasoned nicely, and I liked the different textures with the rice, the quinoa and the roasted corn. The dressing was super tasty too. When I got towards the end of my salad, my last few pieces of avocado were bad. It wasn't a dealbreaker for my experience, but I would've definitely preferred that they would've left those pieces out. Also, the little toasted cracker things tasted like cardboard, dry and flavorless. I probably should've tried scooping up some of the salad with them, but I left them on the plate. Overall, I would definitely return to this location. You cannot beat them if you are looking for something fast, casual, and healthy. Definitely not on the cheap though, my salad and latte were $34 before tip, but I don't mind paying for good quality food that is fresh and healthy.

My favorite breakfast dishes are the chicken and waffle, country fried steak and french toasts. They perfectly bread the chicken and the homemade country gravy it adds that extra goodness to the meal. I also love their fresh-pressed juices, and I usually request a plantation iced tea -- iced tea mixed with pineapple juice. So refreshing! The decor is adorable too. It has a cozy farmhouse café vibe that makes the whole place feel warm and inviting. And the bread pudding from Sunny Side is definitely worth mentioning. I usually don't like bread pudding, but this is far from ordinary. It's made with croissants and chocolate, drizzled with chocolate sauce, dusted with powdered sugar, served with raspberries, and strawberries. You have to add the ice cream...cause why not? Absolutely indulgent and perfect for sharing. Totally worth those extra calories! Overall, we'll definitely keep dining here. Great service, delicious food, and so many good family memories every time we visit!

The drinks were prepared quick and for those liking them hot, you will be pleased with the freshness of that first sip. Overall, Achilles Coffee is a perfect small batch roaster to visit while you're in San Diego to get a great cup of coffee, a breakfast to go with it, and some bags of single origin or blend to bring back home for your own brew. And if you're interested in trying them out before you visit or just looking to restock, consider checking out their website and order from there. They even have a sampler to try their in-season batches. I guess their only Achilles' heel is that there aren't more of them but with five spots all across San Diego county, at least a San Diegan (or visitor) can get a taste of the sweet nectar marketed under this Greek warrior's moniker.

    I'm glad my friend told me about this French Café. Merci mon amie! It's located in the Cedros…read moreDesign District which is the heart of Solana Beach. I decided to have brunch there but when I arrived everyone was watching a soccer game...rooting for the French Team. It was pleasant to see the owners, staff, and guests so into the game. It created a welcoming and fun atmosphere...making my French experience more authentic. Just be aware, that majority of the seating is outside with an overhead shade. I looove eating outdoors so the setting was perrrfect. When it was time to order, I went inside to place it at the counter. Not too long afterwards, my warm latte came out then my breakfast...I didn't have to wait at all. Everything was sooo yummy. C'est vraiment bon!! I can't wait to go back to try the other menu items. I highly recommend Madeleine to the Yelp Community :-)

    (editing to add this is a French-owned and Black-owned business, in case folks are looking!)…read more I usually come here when I'm doing errands on Cedros - and I usually just want to get my français on and order a café crème and a croissant. But today I needed a little extra je ne sais quoi because my morning was annoying, so I decided to splurge on lunch and not just a pastry here. I asked Steve, the (très beau et gentille!) co-owner what the quiche of the day was. There were two: one with jambon (ham) and one with épinards et fromage de chèvre (spinach and goat cheese). When I hesitated, he told me that the spinach one was amazing. Even though it's $20 for a quiche plate, I decided to go for it. I thought I was going to get a sad little quiche slice for that amount and might regret it. But OMG, it was more than worth it! Already they have a lovely patio on this pretty street in this fancy design district. But it was also a HUGE and exceptionally savory rectangular slice, alongside a DELECTEABLE petite salade. I asked Steve what mustard they use in the vinaigrette, and he said plain old Dijon - but the proportions and the seasoning were EXCELLENT. So it was salad perfection, not heavily dressed at all, just delightful. The patio was full on a Friday with ladies who lunch - but did that include me, as a solo diner, since I am a lady who had lunch? I'm not sure, but you can feel comfortable here no matter what. And now I know Madeleine Cafe is much too good to just come for coffee and for ordering in French from Steve or his co-owner Emmanuel. I don't want to spend that much for lunch every day - but I'll be back!

    Cannot say enough good things about this spot. From the incredible staff, to the scrumptious food…read moreeverything is A+! I especially love the dine in vibe that's outdoor beachy style. This is a dedicated gluten free gem in the heart of Del Mar. minutes from the beach in a bustling shopping center. My gf son had the breakfast burrito three out of seven days we were in town, and let me tell you the boy is hard to impress so this is a huge compliment. I had the avocado toast once and the chicken salad toast once. Loved the avocado toast, the chicken salad toast was a bit on the Mayo side for my taste but I could tell it was quality ingredients. The star of the show for me was the fudgey brownie! I think it's literally the best brownie I've ever consumed. Please try it. The barista (I wish I'd caught her name) is a total sweetheart. Give that girl a raise. We ate in and got take out. Both are great. It gets busy here so patience may be required but is worth it. So happy to see a gf place thriving. Lots of healthy options and unique coffee and tea combos. They sell bread, house made bone broth, homemade soups for take out. Over a dozen types of pastries. Free Parking available, pickup parking available, they take most forms of payment, free refills on iced tea. Environmentally conscious. Please give this place a try!

    I came here for the first time on Saturday. I'm not often in the Del Mar area, and although I had…read moreheard of Nectarine Grove, I had never tried it since there isn't one in San Diego County. It was busy around lunchtime on Saturday and the line was long, but once we ordered, the food came out quickly. I ordered the California burrito and my husband ordered the breakfast sandwich. The California burrito was filling and tasted very good. I really appreciate that they use higher-quality ingredients, and it wasn't greasy at all. The hibiscus tea was also very refreshing on a hot day. I just wish they had a location closer to me -- this is a great option for a healthier quick lunch or breakfast spot.
