This place is great if you just want to grab a coffee, tea and treat, or want to slow down and enjoy a delicious breakfast. The mellow vibe of the indoor outdoor ambiance is so refreshing. I typically order anything with sweet potato on the menu so this was easy for me. Took the suggestion of what coffee to try. The girl working the front was so nice and helpful. Can't wait to come back and try other things. read more

Nectarine Grove - Outside - Gluten-Free Near Me - Del Mar, California

See all

Nectarine Grove has been on my list for a while now, and I'm glad I finally tried it! This location is in the same plaza as Cucina Enoteca, so there is available parking although it can be pretty impacted. It wasn't too busy when I came on a Sunday morning, which was nice. The cashiers were super friendly, although it felt like the service was very slow albeit friendly--think, you're at Trader Joe's in a hurry but they're so friendly to every customer. Since we weren't in a hurry, I didn't mind but just something to keep in mind. The vibes here are very relaxed, SoCal ambiance so it's really not too surprising. We ordered a quiche to share, breakfast tacos, and the breakfast sandwich. Everything here is gluten free so it's great for folks with dietary restrictions, I couldn't tell a difference. Our favorite was definitely the quiche--it was the most special item we ordered and probably the only item I would come back for. The breakfast mains were good as well, but nothing overly exciting and something I feel I could replicate at home for a fraction of the cost. Not sure I would return but I'm glad to have tried it out! read more

Took the rare opportunity to head to the beach this morning and got breakfast on my way. I got the Turkey Avo sandwich on a croissant, a blueberry scone and a cinnamon roll. The turkey sandwich was hot and fresh. The croissant was buttery and flaky. The cinnamon roll was hard and dry even after being heated, but I've had them before and they were fantastic, so not knocking a star off. The blueberry scone was the highlight of the haul! Moist, flavorful and a touch of cinnamon in the glaze. Usually scones are dry and crumbly, but not this one!! It's my new favorite thing here!! read more

I've been gluten free for 38 years and I've always dreamed of a GF croissant. Usually gluten free items cost twice as much and taste half as good. This was twice as expensive, but it was way bigger than anything I've ever seen in my life. The taste was incredible! From now on when I want to reward myself, I'm coming here!!! read more

Food was incredible and I'm so appreciative to be able to order gluten, dairy free and vegan right off the menu. Got the Morning Glory Bowl and every bite was savored. Service was taken seriously and approached with passion. Definitely will be sending people here and will be back next time I'm in town. read more

This place is what I thought Flower Child would be: artsy, local, original. The butter coffee and matcha options are amazing. The open storefront and seating areas adds to the charm. Highly recommended. read more

Nectarine Grove - Classic Avocado Toast - Gluten-Free Near Me - Del Mar, California

Extremely overpriced cafe. I came there 2 times and both times they were out of the majority of their food. We ordered whatever was available and the food didn't even taste good, it was ok. Giving any stars just because it's all gluten free. read more

Very pleased I found a new 100% gluten free restaurant to add to my repertoire. I always get overwhelmed with so many choices and it's nice to have a full menu to pick from. The food here is pretty good, they lean heavily on "healthy" so the texture isn't always the best, very dense breads and not enough fats to get the food moist. So this is really selling the healthy aspect rather than making GF foods that taste like their gluteny counter parts. I always enjoy a good breakfast so I ordered the bake house breakfast. The jelly was very good and I enjoyed the meal. Their baked goods were pretty good, but the texture was a little lacking. The staff was very nice, and very patient with some rude customers in front of me. They had service with a smile and was impressed at how they handled the brusk woman in front of me. Good for them. I'll be back, it was nice to sit outside and enjoy some reliable GF meals. read more

"I'm in love with a butter latte" - Susan, upon first sip Oh my goodness! When I travel for work, I try to take the edge off missing my fam by finding fab places to eat. This place popped up as a "gluten free cafe" and I had to try it! It's got so many options for eating: Dairy free, paleo, vegan, gluten free, egg free, and nut free. So many amazing choices! I'm trying the Bakehouse Brekkie, side of avocado, a slice of apple cinnamon coffee cake and a butter latte! My food hasn't come yet and I'm not being very patient. My latte came tho and it's fabulous!!! Edit: food came! It's good. I did order my eggs over easy and they came sunny side up yet still over cooked. That's okay tho, the food is fab, staff is super nice and service is great! read more

In stopped in for an early morning coffee and some eats. I ordered a flat white and a toasted English Muffin with butter and jam. The flat white was okay. I don't think the girl who made it truly knew how to make it. I heard her inquire about out with another employee, and in the end I received 4 oz coffee in an 8 oz cup with foam that should not of been there. She basically made me an average cappuccino. The English Muffin was interesting. I looked and tasted more like a biscuit. In fact, it had the texture of a biscuit not an English Muffin. I am not sure if they made a mistake. At any rate, it was good, and I really enjoyed the homemade jelly. It tasted quite good and was not overly sweet, and strawberry flavor was up front and tasty. Oh yes, the toast need more butter! Service was friendly. read more

Staff is awesome. I was told that they are there 24/7 due to making all their own bakery goods. They have a coffee latte there with butter in it and maple syrup. I asked for 1/2 the maple syrup because I'm not a fan of drinking maple syrup. The drink came out great. read more

The coffee didn't do anything for me but it wasn't bad. Be prepared for a wait! I was here on a Monday morning and I still had about a 30min coffee time. Cute location though. Coffee: 3 Service: 3 Location: 4 Ambiance: 3 read more

First time and last time here. Food took way to long. 20+ minutes into waiting a woman comes out and says they're out of sourdough bread for my daughter's avocado toast. Told them brioche instead. I ordered a turkey and pesto sandwich which comes on sourdough. It arrives on dinky brioche bun and not my sourdough or even mention they didn't have correct bread for sandwich. The sandwich alone was $18.50 which is a total ripoff. Never again read more

Tried this place over the weekend and it was very good. My breakfast sandwich was very good but it does have a slightly spicy aioli on it. So, if you hate spicy food, ask for it without. The bacon was really good and crisp, the egg was yummy and the bread was fresh, soft and awesome. I will return! read more

That gluten free cinnamon roll- wow Delicious chicken salad on sourdough Prices what you'd expect at a nice gluten free bakery read more

For someone who is allergic to wheat, this place is a godsend. I can eat real sandwiches, cookies, cinnamon rolls and even fried chicken! Their quiches are amazing - I recommend goat cheese and artichoke and ask for it to be heated extra. It takes sometime to heat the middle. I also recommend their sourdough loaf. It lasts forever in the freezer. Just toast and go! read more

You order & pay first from their small cafe then find a table in their outdoor seating area. The gentleman that helped us (possibly the owner or manager) was very nice and personable. The yogurt parfait is simple and delicious and comes in a big bowl with fresh fruit and housemade granola. I ordered the quiche but they forgot to put it in the oven so I had to take it to go cold since we didn't have time to wait for it. The gentleman was very apologetic and offered us a dessert item from their case of yummy looking desserts but I declined. Mistakes happen and the fact that he tried to make it right was all I needed and appreciated. The iced matcha latte was good. The Mayan Mocha was good if you like cinnamon and spices. We'd definitely come back when in the area. read more

Really delicious sandwiches! I have been here for lunch quite a few times, and I love the turkey avocado sandwich. The paleo baguette it comes on is so yummy, and it's always warm and toasted! The side salad is great too, with a light dressing. I'm looking forward to trying more of their food items. Overall, very casual atmosphere and friendly service. Nectarine Grove is definitely worth checking out! read more

Nectarine Grove - Turkey Avo - yum! - Gluten-Free Near Me - Del Mar, California

I ordered the winter spice iced coffee with oat milk. It's a winter menu item. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor of the drink. I would order it again. I Milk options include organic whole, organic almond, organic coconut, and oat. There is no additional cost for any of these options. They have salads, soups, sandwiches, smoothies, and breakfast items. They have specialty pastries including vegan and paleo options. There are a few outdoor tables on a covered patio and there is no indoor seating. I waited a little bit for my drink, but it wasn't too bad. Worth a visit if in the area. read more

The artichoke quiche was so delicious. I am inspired now to make my own. The butter coffee is also very satisfying and one of the only places in San Diego where I have seen it offered. You must try this quiche, it was amazing read more

I have Celiac Disease, so it can be hard to find safe places to eat while traveling. When visiting my friend in San Diego, we always come to Nectarine Grove! There are so many safe gluten free options that are DELICIOUS and great portion sizes! The staff at the Del Mar location specifically is super awesome - very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating! read more

Randomly found this place on our way home from San Diego. I love that this place offers so many vegan, gluten-free, low carb/keto options! It was very refreshing to have so many choices. We ordered: Gluten free almond croissant - lots of layers and loved the crunchy crust on it. Very moist and not dry. Highly recommend! Breakfast sandwich with vegan bacon - absolutely delicious and the vegan bacon tasted so real! Sunshine bowl and Morning glory bowl - both delicious (sunshine has eggs) and loved the vegan bacon and the spicy chipotle sauce. Service took longer than expected but everything was freshly made to order. Only con is the bathroom is far away. It is in the shopping center 2nd floor, by Core Power Yoga and a pancake place. Overall, great food and left us energized and ready for our trek home. Will definitely stop by here again the next time we head towards San Diego. read more

I love this place! Gluten free and vegan options with yummy baked goods. I usually get an avocado toast or a salad but everything is good. I often get their granola to go. They have unique beverage options too like charcoal lemonade. The chilean guy provides the best service!! read more

Great gluten free food! Lots of delicious choices. Busy on a Sunday morning but the line moved quickly.

The hot pesto and turkey sandwich and mint chip smoothie were excellent. Definitely on the pricey side, but that's most places nowadays. At least I know that I'm paying for something healthy and tasty here. Service was great as well. The gentleman who took my order was very personable and optimistic. On a more random note, I was a fan of the music playlist that was playing when I visited. Quite a few throwbacks to 2000s pop songs. read more

OH MY GOD If you are gluten free, if you are no gluten-free, it doesn't matter, just come here. The fig and prosciutto sandwich was one of the best things I have literally ever eaten in my life. The salmon toast was great and the chocolate croissant was just... so good. I so badly wish I lived closer because if I did I would be here every single week. They have paleo, sugar free, keto & vegan options. Thank God for Nectarine Grove... so far I have never been to a restaurant that does gluten free better than them! read more

Really happy that Nectarine Grove opened another location in Del Mar. Nice to see a local business grow in success. This location offers certain items unavailable in the Encinitas location, such as the gluten free sourdough bread and the gluten free croissants. Both of these gluten free croissants are more dense than their non-gluten free versions; and therefore, really filling. Despite it being more dense, I do enjoy both gluten free items. The sourdough loaf pre-sliced tasted so good toasted -- top it with butter or / with avocado and that is a great breakfast at home! The gluten free croissants taste great warmed up too! On a side note, their jalapeño ketchup is spicier than others. Really good, but that's a warning, haha. read more

I really like the Nectarine Grove in Encinitas but am glad that they have this location in Del Mar since it's more convenient for me. So even though I am giving the rating for this location a little lower than the one in Encinitas, I like this one better. Let me explain. Even though the menu in Encinitas has more items, the selection at the Del Mar location is good and I will be returning to try different items. I did think that the bakery selection was better at the Del Mar location which is the main reason why I have already visited this place twice in a week. So far I have tried the baguette and bread rolls which are very good. Even my husband who is not gluten sensitive and avoids my gluten free items really liked the rolls and would have eaten them all if I didn't hide them from him. During one of our visits, I tried the Beachy Beet salad and enjoyed the flavors of the ingredients. So why the lower rating? I wanted to try the Coconut Ginger Bone Broth but they were out. Then we tried to order two other items but they were out of those two. We got there at noon so it was a little disappointing to see that they were out of menu items already. However, I like this location because the parking is so much easier and I like the baked goods selection. read more

Wow! So nice to have a totally gluten free restaurant. I'm newly gluten free and also vegan. They have a lot of great vegan options.

Nectarine Grove - Morning Glory Bowl Pumpkin Spice Latte - Gluten-Free Near Me - Del Mar, California

Being celiac, this is my go to place. Love their food and drinks. I originally provided feedback about their coffee, but they handled this review so well and have made improvements that I feel the review should reflect it. Thank you for always having the best service and follow through. read more

The ladies working here are nice and friendly. I felt welcomed. BUTTER LATTE (iced) was super rich. You could see the butter globules floating on the surface of the drink and floating throughtout the drink. I enjoyed it but I definitely took my time sipping it. It was flavorful even after all the ice melted. PROSCIUTTO AND FIG sandwich was pretty food. The fig and cherry compote was a thick spoonful on one side of the sandwich. I would preffered to have it spread out throughout but it is prettier to have it in one spot. I am not normally a prosciutto person but this prosciutto was better than most I've tried -- it wasn't very salty and it wasn't dry either. I don't like arugula but at least the sandwich wasn't bursting with it. The sandwich came with a side of greens which was very lightly dressed in a vinnagrette -- a very simple salad, nothing special or fancy. I usually refuse to eat salads but I finished eating all of this one. The croissant on this sandwich was interesting. I could tell tapioca flour was used in making it because of some dense chewy spots but it was still surprisingly croissant-like with crispy flakes on the surface. I've had a lot of gluten-free baked goods and this croissant was one of the best made breads. Hubby got the BREAKFAST SANDWICH and ate it all without a comment so it must have been okay. There is only patio sitting and the umbrellas don't cover all of the sun so it may be too cold or too hot at times. The seating area is also quite crowded with few seats per table. You won't be able to fit a large party but you can take your food to go and find seating in the Promenade. read more
