But today I got my wife back from a long road trip and I said where do you wanna go for lunch and she said any place that's air-conditioned how about CPK? I said you bet. Eddie was a great great server and on top of it for the moment we sat down. I am still in shock over what they call lunch duos the amount of delicious food that you get from a very reasonable price is incredible. I had the famous chop salad and a turkey club, which I didn't even touch and brought home. It was that big. Deb had their Famous, Hawaiian Pizza, and a chop salad... I'm still just thinking wow! I finally have a new lunch spot that I love.

She told us about their offer for a free appetizer if we signed up for their reward program. We shared the following: - street corn (5/5) - chips & guacamole (3/5) - buffalo cauliflower (4/5) - Italian salad (3/5) - the works pizza (4/5) I really enjoyed the sauce and bread that came with the street corns. The guacamole was fresh and had a nice spice with the jalapeños but I felt the chips were too salty. Overall I enjoyed our dinner.

I love meeting friends or my sister here to grab a bite and a drink and sit and talk. The market…read moreitself is pricey if you are shopping for groceries, but they do offer fresh bread from Bread Underground and other specialty snacks and other items I like to take home at the end of my visit. I usually order an iced matcha latte with oat milk and a Sweet Toast inside the market, then when I'm ready I switch to a cup or two of hard kombucha, which always has ingredients plucked from the farm, depending on what is seasonal. Everything is always delicious and delightful. Service at this walk-up coffee area is friendly. There is plenty of seating outside, in the front or back of the open-air market, and lingering for hours is encouraged. I like taking a walk around the perimeter farm while I'm there as well. There is an apothecary and a brewery on the premises, as well as a coffee roasting area. This part of the farm always seems to be closed for a private event, but that just adds to the bustling and community atmosphere. There is a couch area with a fire pit (and one in the back) in addition to the assortment of tables, a huge grass area and a natural (wood) climbing structure for kids to play, and sometimes they have live music there. There are always families and Encinitas locals hanging out and enjoying all that this place has to offer. There is a pizza stall in front of the market, as well as Huerta Tacos stand in back. Hours for these vary depending on the day. Both are not cheap, but the food is fresh and delicious, made with quality ingredients and interesting flavors. I sometimes treat myself to either, depending on who I'm with or what time of day it is. There is also a restaurant upstairs, and I have eaten there once, but prefer coming to hang at the Harvest Market and getting my food and drinks there. I live in the Vista/Carlsbad area, but it is worth the 20-25 minute drive to come hang out here for the afternoon!

You wouldn't know there were beats in it aside from the color, it tastes pretty close to a standard, chickpea hummus. Found inside the harvest market deli cooler with the snacks & drinks near the prepared salads to grab & go items. They have lots of fresh produce, fresh bread, and packaged cracker chip items to purchase and enjoy with it. It was cool creamy and refreshing. I enjoyed it with some fresh artisan bread. Nice filling, healthy snack. The market has a variety of fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers, including edible ones, a small Café with hot and cold, freshly made drinks, including the option of ones with vegan plant milk, as well as a small baked goods case full of vegan cookies and muffins. Nice selection of interesting drinks, including Matcha & Ube. A nice selection of vegan items for sale. This very modern up scale barn is on a spacious property with ample outdoor hard seating, including individual chairs, both metal and wood picnic tables with benches, hardwood Adirondack chairs around a large fire pit in the back. If you prefer soft seating like me, there are only a few on the property, a couch by the outdoor fireplace inside up in the restaurant and balcony. The outdoor pizza kitchen has a variety of made to order cooked in front of you pizzas including vegan (must ask for vegan cheese substitute) or gluten-free egg, white and cauliflower crust. The Cook said most of the pizzas can be made with the vegan cheese. Included a few nice options with pesto sauce, truffle, mushroom, and more. After seeing a few come out out of the oven with the bubbled crust, I'm looking forward to returning and giving one a try. It seemed to be the favorite menu item of the outdoor diners, as the tables were full of them. Parking is on a dirt and gravel stretch so skip the sandals and flip-flops & wear closed toed tennis shoes. There are walking paths around the properties so you can get in a nice stroll before having a nibble and a drink. The path around the property you'll see their crops of produce and flowers growing as well as the animals they have: horses, goats pigs. Upstairs after 4 PM, they have a nice clean-looking modern style restaurant featuring a nice menu with a variety of six vegetarian and one vegan pasta option. The hostess, who claimed she was also vegetarian was quick to point out all the vegetarian options some can be converted to vegan by omitting the cheese or dairy ingredient. There's a nice tall bar upstairs with stools and one TV for watching news or sports. Apparently they have a brunch weekends only with a menu that also looks very inviting. The property has a large selection of bottled wines, a micro brewery and a coffee bean brewery. Family friendly, a nice place to go to get a bite and drink, stretch your legs, enjoy fresh air (although a bit dusty near parking lot). Country music is playing loudly in and around the property. We have an expanse of grass for picnic in a play area that's very natural and organic and appearance and a glass house which opens up onto a hard scape patio available for a private event events. The people were friendly and welcoming. It's a spot of natural plot of country near the coast line in Encinitas.

While I have thoroughly enjoyed the pizza both times I've been here, this time I wanted to try something new. Nothing was really calling out to me except for The vegan Breakfast Tacos.

Like Green Grove is perfect for people that are gluten-free or simply trying to cut out so much wheat or try some healthier alternatives!

HIGHLIGHTS (in case you don't feel like reading): SERVICE: 10/10 FOOD: 10/10 AMBIANCE: 10/10 BAR 10/10 Wait Staff: The Henry seems to have built a genuinely great culture among its wait staff. Across roughly 8 to 10 visits, I've never had a poor experience with a single server. Every interaction has been overwhelmingly positive. Being realistic, these men and women are on their feet for hours, constantly moving and working, yet every server I've encountered stays upbeat and makes you feel genuinely appreciated as a guest. That level of consistency doesn't happen by accident! More recently, ELENA and GRACE have been my servers, and they embody everything described above and I hope to see them every time I go!!! Food: I'll be honest, As far as entrees fI refuse to order anything other than the prime skirt steak and the braised short rib because they're both that good. Prime skirt steak: Order it medium rare and expect a perfect sear, a beautiful crust, and a perfectly cooked steak. Over the many times I've ordered it, it has come out virtually identical every single time, and the presentation is equally impressive. Flawless dish. Braised Short Rib: It's textbook perfect. The sauce hits that sweet and savory balance beautifully, and with the mashed potatoes, everything just works. Presentation is excellent here, too. You'll see some variety from time to time, and it's fun to see it. This is an easy ten out of ten dish. SUSHI: ORDER THE SUSHI! Neither of the aforementioned dishes are especially large and this is where the sushi comes in! They have EXCELLENT sushi rolls as well! Ask about the yellowtail specialty roll! High praise for the 3 different rolls that I tried! Ambience. The ambience deserves its own mention. There's an energy to the place--lively and upbeat, but not chaotic. No bad seat in the restaurant. Immaculate vibes!! MY OFFICIAL FAVORITE RESTAURANT!

It had that perfect balance of sweet and tangy that makes you want to finish every bite. For dessert, I had two pieces of baklava, and they were fantastic--flaky, drenched in honey, and perfectly bite-sized pieces of heaven. You can tell this is a family-run establishment that cares about quality and flavor. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and satisfying. I'll definitely be coming back.
