    Glorious Greens
    Shreyasi D.

    Nice little place with limited seating. Very fancy coffees and smoothies. I felt the glorious green smoothie lacked substance and tasted like a watery green juice. Fast service

    Cinnamon roll
    Nicole Erin B.

    Nectarine Grove is my favorite gluten free haven in San Diego. Every single item is gluten free and many are vegan as well. Each time I come, I try something new. The cinnamon roll has a great structure and a generous amount of cinnamon. The icing is optional but I highly recommend it. I love being able to indulge in gluten free tests that are difficult to find elsewhere. The lines can sometimes be slow but it's definitely worth the wait. All the seating is outdoors but the umbrellas provide good shade.

    You had me a spicy Mayan mocha! Nectarine Grove Cafe is so great! I'm so obsessed with the menu! I came here to meet a friend and ordered the spicy Mayan mocha, which is a butter latte made mushrooms, collagen, and so many wonderful things to support brain function. I loved my coffee so much, I came back 2 more times while I was in Del Mar. On my third visit, I ordered breakfast which I was excited to try. Nectarine Grove is so mindful of different diets. We ordered a cinnamon roll, salmon toast, donuts, and kid's breakfast (bacon, eggs, a small fruit cup, and egg muffin). I recommend getting the cinnamon roll warmed with frosting on top. It's a little hard at room temperature. The salmon toast was delish! Lots of salmon which was so fresh! The donuts were made in avocado oil. The healthier donuts I have tried which were great! Staff was kind too!

    Great little lunch spot located within flower hill in Del Mar. They have an excellent selection of sandwiches, salads and pretty unique paleo coffees. Nice little outdoor eating area, perfect for sunny days!

    Honey Latte & Hot Pesto Turkey
    Jessica A.

    Food was great. Pesto turkey was delicious and warm. The salad dressing was an orange light dressing. The honey latte was creamy and flavorful. It wasn't overly sweet which was nice.

    Chicken Salad Toast
    Kitty C.

    I was able to try the chicken salad toast and it was pretty good. I wasn't sure if the dressing was for the side salad or the toast but I felt the chicken salad toast would have had more of a tang if a lemon was squeezed over it. I ended up pouring the dressing over the salad so if it was meant for the toast that could have added the tang because it was a lemony dressing. The toast bread was flavorful, soft so it wasn't hard to bite into. I didn't order the food so not sure how service is but I've driven by it a few times and it's a cute little place tucked on the side of the plaza building on the right.

    Bakehouse Breakfast
    Cristina v.

    The Bakehouse Breakfast was BAD. Ordered scrambled eggs and they were like two chewy and tasteless patties - the explanation was as ridiculous as the eggs ("we are using small egg pan.."). The sweet potatoes looked like bird food (see picture) and the butter came as small (very) cold cubes that were hard to spread... Oh, have a mentioned the bacon? Yes, two skinny, soft (!!) and fat pieces of bacon. Maybe the drinks are good - because the breakfast food, is very low quality. Very disappointing

    Bakehouse Breakfast

    Eggshell in my food. The scrambled eggs are not even scrambled eggs just patties. "Fresh berries" the blackberries are sour and the strawberries are mushy and old. I just don't get the hype. Don't come to this place because they promote it to be "healthy".

    Angela taking orders!
    Cynthia Post M.

    Nectarine Grove is an absolute standout--everything on the menu is 100% gluten-free and incredibly delicious. From their fresh bowls and satisfying sandwiches to wraps and baked goods, every item is thoughtfully made and bursting with flavor. You'd never guess it's all gluten-free--because nothing feels like a compromise. And then there's Angela. She's kind, considerate, and genuinely cares about the people she serves. She goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcomed, comfortable, and taken care of. Her warmth and attention to detail turn a great meal into a meaningful experience. The food at Nectarine Grove fills your body with goodness, but Angela fills the place with heart. A beautiful spot made even better by people like her. Let me know if you'd like to add a personal anecdote or a "Don't miss this dish!" line!

    Croissants. Real. Croissants. If that wasn't enough of a review, I'll try again... CHOCOLATE croissants. Real, soft, layered, buttery, giant, warm, fresh, chocolate croissants. The kind that will spike your blood sugar and happy hormones over the edge. I've so far, over two visits, have also tried two of their quiches, their "hostess cupcake," and their cinnamon roll. Their pastry case is where life begins. Go, eat, get a little chubbier, and be blissfully ignorant of what gluten is. This is a 100% dedicated gluten free bakery and you'll not have to worry about cross-contamination here. Many of their items are also lactose free. They have an outdoor patio with seating that is ramp accessible.

    gluten free croissants
    Sam S.

    Nectarine Grove's bakery in Del Mar has absolutely delicious gluten free pastries! Their croissants are unbelievably amazing, as are their cinnamon rolls. This location is a cute little cafe with great takeout vibes in a convenient location, I absolutely love popping in for a tasty gluten free treat!

    White peach iced tea
    Mei T.

    After brunch and shopping, my MeetUp Fun Diego Ladies and I stopped by for some afternoon tea and coffee. It was a bit warm out, so I ordered the white peach iced tea that came with 1 free refill. Not bad for $4. I enjoyed the mild tea flavor, unsweetened, just how I like it. The cute barista taking our order was very pleasant and helpful in answering our questions about the menu. We enjoyed the coffee and tea here. They have nice big tables outside, but what's missing is a restroom.

I was greeted by two people behind the counter and was told to feel free to ask questions and try one of the samples they had. They also let me know that there were additional items that I could buy to take home on the shelves and in the cooler, so take my time looking around. There was so much good gf stuff! We ordered the Turkey Pesto Panini and the 'Trust Me Dude' Panini which came with a side of chips. Both were delicious but, Trust Me Dude... you're gonna want to try that one cause the name all the sudden made sense with the first bite. It was unlike any sandwich I've had before, in the best way possible! I also had the double chocolate cookie and didn't even get a picture cause I ate it so fast, it was that good! The cafe is spacious and had indoor and outdoor seating. They also had a shelf with games and a chalk board mentioning different themed events like game night and cookie decorating classes. It feels like they are not only trying to create a great restaurant, but a little community. They also take allergies very seriously so you can feel safe here. Can't wait to go back and try new things, so happy to have this new gluten free option available.

Register lady was nice, selection seemed nice, but probably had a rough experience.

The beers were good, service was excellent, and the food menu looked enticing even though this was just a quick beer stop for us. I have to admit when I first sat on the patio overlooking the "lagoon" I thought this is kind of an oversold view considering it is literally in the name. Then an egret wandered by and suddenly it all felt a lot more coastal California and a lot less random pond behind a brewery. Ended up being a really chill spot. Would definitely go back.

I was hoping to see abundant lettuces, some avocado, healthy pieces of roasted turkey, punchy gorgonzola vinaigrette. I got what seemed like not a lot of lettuces, watery diced up sliced turkey spread throughout, some fresh avocado, and a mild but tasty vinaigrette, and some good pickled onions. So it wasn't what I was expecting for a Cobb Salad, but rather felt like a watered down and small version. Chicken Kabob had only small diced up chicken, no chunks of chicken like you might expect and no smoky flavors. Tuna poke had some good raw tuna, rice, greens etc. But what I really felt like was going on here is that instead of price inflation we have portion reduction. All our bowls were on the smaller side, though the prices are still decent for what you can get nowadays. Lunch for four almost $100. Just not deeply satisfying. Service was quick and prompt and there is plenty of great outdoor seating. Looking for an ok healthy bite you can go here, but reality did not meet my expectations here.

So we took the coast and enjoyed the long way to the restaurant so we could get there at the right time. No issues parking, but we went during a slow time. It's off steet parking, there's not a parking lot, but again we found plenty of spots right in front of the restaurant. They have pretty and colorful decor. Fun lights and beautiful flowering tree coverage. Seating is outdoors so dress accordingly. I knew this because we've enjoyed dining here a few times, so I actually used my little throw blanket. It's causal but some Couples dress up and eat here too. Server was great. He was tentative and nice. I knew I wanted the shrimp causa and my daughter's favorite Peruvian dish is Lomo saltado, so thatd what she ordered. He told us about the specials so we went with trying the baked scallops. I'd asked for 2 and he accidentally brought 4 but immediately realized and without us having to even ask, he offered to take the extra two off. So grateful he caught that. My daughter doesn't like scallops and I just wanted to try them. I like sea scallops but these were bay scallops. I never asked so I shouldn't have assumed. It was a tasty appetizer, talked my daughter into trying it but she wasn't interested to try more. She loves Parmesan cheese and there was a lot but she wouldn't attempt the scallops. They were not under nor over cooked. I'm not sure what made it taste so unique but we both agreed we've never tasted anything like it. The shrimp causa wasnt the same flavor as months months ago. We don't live near so it's been a while since we've tried it. The alioli was a lot spicier than ever but still had good flavor but the causa was dry. But I had a side of alioli to help with that. Shrimp was tasty. Several other restaurants shrimp has been tasting off for months but this place shrimp tasted better. The Inca and chicha were delicious. I miss the cut up apple they use to put in it but still tastes fresh. Lomo Saltado was just two huge potato wedges and very few rice. Look at the photo. We did not eat any of it yet. This is the portion. It had good amount of jugó but the flavor wasnt like anything we'd tasted in Peru. BUT there's many many areas in Peru and we've only lived in a few and have only visited a handful more so just because it's not like any lomo we've tasted, doesn't mean it's not Peruvian. My daughter still liked it. It was high soy sauce and high vinegar taste. Lomo has both, but it was missing the cumin and flame flavor for me. We don't like potato wedges at all but she cut it up and made due with it. We were sooooo hungry from all day at the zoo so we almost finished all of it. None of the dishes are repeats for us but again, they taste good, just not the flavors we are use to, it's been a while so maybe that's why the causa and lomo tasted different. The server asked how is everything, im sure if we had said something he'd probably sought to help, but really it is what it is. I just think they cook differently then what we have had living in Peru. My husband had the seco here time ago, it's was incredibly delicious. He loves lamb. It was cooked perfectly and the frijoles were delicious as well. I hope the decide to put that dish back on the menu. Please. Not every visit is gonna go perfectly, that's not possible. Still a fun colorful restaurant with great service. Plates had great presentation. Not long at all ago I enjoyed the ceviche. I was just too cold to get it this time. Gonna got for it next time. Another couple got a huge salad. It looked so good, imma look for it on the menu next time.
