This cute little spot was very cozy. There was a decent amount of seating but not a ton at the same time. I got the cheese pizza and I was pretty surprised. It was a decent pizza for not being a traditional pizza. I want to go back and try more of the menu. I feel like the food is gonna be really good there. The service was pretty fast and the staff was very kind. read more

I have had this place on my list to try for ever & was so excited to finally stop in I ordered a breakfast burrito (felt like it was a safe bet), an iced latte, and my daughter got the kids quesadilla. For one, when I walked up to the counter the girl ignored me for a good 60 seconds while she continued laughing and chatting with another worker. He eventually asked her if she was going to take my order and she turned around and acted as if nothing happened. Second, the food in my opinion was nothing special from a taste perspective. I do appreciate that they use healthy ingredients, but for the price it shouldn't be absolutely imperative to use sauce to make it taste like something. I would overlook that and chalk it up to ordering wrong, but I have had a stomach ache for the last 2 days since eating there. I don't have a sensitive stomach or food allergies and I can count on one hand the amount of times I've felt like this. I read a few reviews on here saying the same, so not sure what that's about. Whatever it is, I sadly don't know if I would eat here again :( I had such high hopes! read more

This restaurant needs to update their holiday hours. I made an Uber eats order on Christmas because according to everything they are open and 3 drivers drove over to the restaurant only to find it closed on Christmas. 3 drivers working on Christmas who clearly need money waisting their gas money???? Not to mention we're all still hungry. I wish I could at least tip these drivers. Updating *** lies make the baby Jesus cry. I sort of figured I'd get that response so here is a screenshot from your Yelp page this morning. Which also claims you were open. I'm changing my review to a five star to not effect your rating but seriously these poor drivers working for nothing on Christmas. read more

The orange almond cake from the bakery case is just phenomenal!!!! Not just good for a gluten free cake, genuinely delicious. Beautiful blend of flavors, not too sweet, sublime texture. So satisfying. Excited to come back to try some savory items & more of their deserts! read more

The food is not only delicious and satisfying, but also packed with fresh, wholesome ingredients that nourish the body and support a healthy lifestyle. read more

One of the few places I will get deep fried food at as they use clean ingredients for pretty much everything. Always a groovey, colorful & lively vibe thanks to the wonderful staff & vibrant decor + kombucha cans. Speaking of wonderful staff, I'd give them more than a 5/5 if I could cause they put up with my several questions about cooking oils (the allergen that makes this place the best option for me in SD) read more

Gluten-free and awesome for dinner tonight! Very grateful for a 100% GF experience (celiac). The fried chicken sandwich with fries and the poke bowl were delicious and fresh. Recommended! Knowledgeable staff. Indoor and outdoor seating, popular on a Saturday night but not overcrowded. read more

They are always busy and the staff is great. They seem to know what they are talking about, not just "it's on the menu" kind of response. I don't typically use them as a destination place, but more of a "Oh crud I need this" and they are there. Had the (excuse the lack of knowledge) mushroom coffee stuff, Mexican wedding cookies, various sandwiches and they are great. Sometimes I think places like this have the "it's all natural" but tastes like diet and twigs. Not here. Everything I've had has been really good. Other setting and space / ambiance is nice. Can be outside or inside, noisy or not. Easy to chill or go quickly read more

WOW!!! Went here with a bunch of friends last night for dinner and the food was amazing The outside area was so nice and fun to sit eat and chat Their menu is really broad and there is literally something for everyone! I got the cali club and next time I go I'm gonna try the big boss burger it looked delicious! Dinner for 2 cost around 50 bucks with tip Check out pics for a look at what they serve you want be disappointed read more

Healthy and delicious! Love their Cali burrito and their coffees are 10/10. Cute location and casual atmosphere.

Busy Sunday where I waited in a 30 min long line for a Watermelon Collagen Blast with Chia seed.... It was very refreshing! Ambiance was fun and entertaining. read more

For our anniversary lunch we dined at a new to us place called Nectarine Grove, an organic and 100% gluten free eatery (yay)! Delish fare with generous servings, we had leftovers to bring home. They have two locations, one in Leucadia and the other in Del Mar. We dined at their Leucadia location which stays open later and offers a larger menu selection. Check 'em out here: https://nectarinegrove.com read more

Nectarine Grove - New American Near Me - Encinitas, California

I was diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity earlier this year and I was heartbroken by it. I got tired of the rashes on my body and the bad reactions, so I decided to search out gluten-free options for restaurants. This place has lots of paleo and gluten-free options. Paleo diet is actually very gluten-free friendly naturally, so it worked out for me. -grain-free eggs benedict, which was delicious and they were generous with the avocados. -matcha latte with almond milk - one word: Amazing. -Honey butter latte - wait, what? You read that right, butter in your coffee, you think it's weird? Try it and you'll be hooked. -Breakfast burrito - this is why they lost a star, it's so small for $7 and we were still so hungry after eating this entire burrito. -Breakfast waffle - this may sound simple and plain, but it's not! This is a paleo waffle topped with berries and maple pecans, served with a side of orange infused almond milk ricotta and coconut cream. This was heaven on a plate. -Cinnamon roll - this is not gluten free or paleo friendly, but my kids love it nonetheless. I love the concept of this restaurant and plan to support it continuously, I just wished that some of their portions match the prices for some of their dishes. read more

Nectarine Grove - Puppy friendly patio. - New American Near Me - Encinitas, California

Another amazing experience at nectarine grove! This time we had the pesto pizza, fried chicken salad, and French fries! All were delicious. The pesto pizza we ordered with the vegan ricotta cheese and WOAH that was good. I often get nervous with dairy free cheese but this was delightful. The mix of flavors on this pizza were fantastic, the crust is the perfect consistency, and it may have been even better as leftovers the next day. The fried chicken salad was also delicious, I enjoyed the honey mustard dressing. Slightly less decadent (and healthier) than the chicken and waffles but I will say I enjoyed the chicken and waffles more than the salad. The fries were served in a giant shareable bowl and were delicious as well! My only complaint about nectarine grove is that there isn't a location closer to where I live... please please open one in Santa Barbara!!! :) read more

Nectarine Grove - 1/2 pesto pizza with vegan cheese, crispy chicken salad, side of French fries - New American Near Me - Encinitas, California

This place is pretty fantastic. Service is mildly friendly and prompt. Service could be friendlier, but with the amount of business they go though in a single day, that could be challenging. Only 1 normal & 1 handicap off street parking spots. Plenty of outside seating and some limited seating inside. This place can get very busy during prime breakfast/ brunch. Food is amazing tasty for being gluten free. A lot of food & drink options. I would recommend on going at off times to beat the crowds and Mayham. Will be back. read more

I have celiac disease and have been wanting to try this place for a while now. Went here for dinner one day and came back for brunch the next.

I really like the food and drink options! It is very healthy and delicious at the same time!

One of encinitas' highlights. The place for all your crunchy granola food dreams to come to life. Great food and drinks.

I've heard of this place from a few spin instructors so we decided to try it out. SERVICE - The cashier that helped us was very friendly! We ordered, grabbed our number, and found a table. Once our food was ready, they brought our food out to us. FOOD Cinnamon Roll - Dessert before dinner! We were craving cinnamon rolls so had to get one. They warmed it up for us and put a lot of icing on top. Though a tad dry, we still enjoyed it. Chicken Sandwich (daily special) w Fries - The sandwich was a little small but the quality of the meat was great. We enjoyed the sauce that came with it as well. Fries were a disappointment. The seasoning was good but the fries were so soggy. Plantain Crusted Chicken w Brown Rices - We have heard a lot about this chicken so had to try it out. The chicken was incredibly moist and the crust was crunchy and tasty. I really liked it with the honey mustard. Overall, solid food with healthy options. A little pricey but expected. read more

Organic AND gluten free? Yes please! I'm obsessed with this place. Been here over 10 times now (both dine in and takeout) and hubby and I have loved everything we've gotten. So delicious and healthy! Their pesto pizza is easily my favorite pizza from anywhere, ever. We've also tried the chicken and waffles, breakfast tacos, chimichurri steak bowl, crispy chicken salad, and the BBQ chicken pizza. All very delicious! Their desserts are also amazing. Hard to believe they're gluten-free! It's not cheap but the prices are justified, as a place like this is a total rarity and you're getting super high quality food. When you think about it, the prices are similar to other "gourmet" cafes/restaurants that aren't organic. Service is always friendly too. I just wish it was closer to home. Open more locations please!! :) read more

This restaurant is located on a busy street with limited parking. There's seating on the patio as well as inside. We had breakfast there around 9am on a Saturday so it was pretty busy. You place your order at the counter and they give you a number. I ordered the Veggie Pesto Scramble, which was big enough for two people to share. It had a great flavor and enough pesto not to overwhelm the dish. Our food came out fast and hot and the coffee was tasty, as well. This is a great place for families, friends and a casual date. If you're looking for a gift idea, I would recommend getting a gift card from this establishment read more

Will definitely be coming here again. Amazing service and the food was really good! The place was also super chill and had indoor and outdoor seating. :) read more

GET THE CHIMICHURRI STEAK BOWL!!! It's seriously one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I can't even believe I'm saying this because I hate goat cheese, but the huge glob they put on top of the bowl is *muah* chef's kiss. Since then I've tried to recreate this at home and have gotten pretty darn close. But to this day I still dream about Nectarine Grove's chimichurri steak bowl. read more

Delicious breakfast spot with lots of different healthy options. We came here for the cinnamon roll and they were out so definitely come early if you want one! We got the black and white cheesecake muffin instead which was still pretty good. I also got the eggs Benedict which was a great portion size and tasty breakfast with a healthy feel. They also have lots of fun coffee drinks that I didn't try this time but will be back! read more

Great mix of flavors, goat cheese was a nice touch but looks like they only added one scoop compared to some other pictures. OJ: great Service was good. read more

This was my husband and my first time. I have a Gluten and Dairy allergy. Finding foods friendly to my diet is extremely difficult. I'm so glad we were in the area to experience an entire menu including desserts that cater to my restrictions. It's been almost a year since I've had a pasty, and this place hit the spot. The chicken and waffles were extremely filling and very yummy. It was a was a very nice day to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. The young lady who took our order was very nice and patient as we looked over the menu. I would recommend 10/10. read more

I came with my family for brunch and insisted we share a cinnamon roll along with our individual orders. My farmer's market scramble with the finely diced roasted veggies, egg, and chipotle cashew sauce was delicious! I also loved the nut seed bread that came with the scramble. There are so many yummy options, it's difficult to decide which dish to choose. read more

Very busy location and difficult parking. Waited a long time for my order, came out wrong. They remade it and brought it out to me. It was just ok. It was expensive. Half a pizza and a kids quesadilla. The pizza crust was ok but had a weird texture. The quesadilla was ok, would have been better hot but the guacamole was amazing!! I'd be more likely to go to the Del Mar location, though the menu is much smaller there. read more

Ridiculously good food! I don't know how it took me so long to try necatarine grove. The menu is pretty extensive with lots of health and yummy options. Everything I tried was delicious. The farmers market scramble is a must. 3 eggs scrambled with tons of veggies. They added artichokes for me and it was amazing. The breakfast waffle is also so tasty. Belgian waffle with strawberries, almond ricotta and a yummy berry compote. Service was fast and great. Plenty of seating options indoors and outdoors. A little pricey but overall worth it for quality and taste. read more

Absolutely lovely & delicious!!! The freedom to know that I can eat foods that I used to enjoy before my dairy intolerance took over was just priceless. Everything was delicious. Both my kids & my husband loved everything and they eat "normal" foods. I also loved being able to order dairy free without necessarily being vegan, though appreciated. I wish there were more restaurants like this. Thank you. That was great! The chicken & waffles was everyone's favorite. read more

I love this place! The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. We had the chicken sammie, kids hamburger and the chicken tacos. The homemade salad dressing and BBQ sauce were delicious! Our meal ended with a mindblowing carrot cake muffin. I am from LA and wish that I lived closer so I could come every week. Only thing I have to complain about is the temperature of the food. We dined in and the food was lukewarm. Don't miss this amazing gem of a restaurant. read more

What a great experience. 100 percent gluten free menu. Kind staff, amazingly fresh food packed with flavor. Highly recommend a stop here. We had the morning glory bowl with delicious cashew crema, the turkey and prosciutto sandwich on the most incredible gluten free croissant, and the Del Mar salad (I think that was the name of it). We also got carrot cake muffins, hostess looking chocolate muffin and the paleo brownie. All food was delicious, very fair priced! I wanted to honestly buy all of it even the frozen breads and waffles they had for offerings. This is a must stop for sure! read more

They have the BEST allergic friendly and organic food. I couldn't even believe how obsessed I am with the ranch dressing. I've been eating here for at least a couple years & pretty stoked they had my cinnamon roll in stock today as they're sold out of those a lot. The frosting is literally out of this world delicious. All the food is seriously like 10/5 so so so good. Mmmmm read more

All I can say is Yum! Food is amazing! Location is awesome! Staff is the best! Drove down from San Clemente twice in one week to eat here! read more

Thought I'd give this place a try even though I'm not really a health freak (this place is all gluten free and stuff). It's p cute! I highly recommend the eggs benny! It's only available on weekends though. It was yummy. Avocado toast was a pass for me, was just alright and didn't feel like a whole lot of avocado. Because its gluten-free, the bread is a lil funny n different in texture compared to normal bread. Made the toast not as satisfying, but I didn't mind it on the eggs benny. read more
