GOODONYA Organic Eatery

Love this spot- whether for brunch, an afternoon coffee or lunch with friends. I haven’t tried their dinner options yet but will be back soon. I love the repair coffee with raw milk, and usually go for their breakfast burrito. The golden turmeric pancakes are also delicious. Sandwiches and salads are great. Seed oil free; as local and seasonal as possible. Love the little shop/market next to the main restaurant. Cozy, fun, and good vibes.

Wanted to like this place really wanted to but just didnt do it for me I was so excited because they dont use seed oils and that is why I left a extra star up service was good the food just was not a hit it was just ehhh I did like the French fries

Enjoyed a great lunch here. I arrived on a Sunday around noon and after a 20 min wait I got a spot outside. Good portion size. Fresh ingredients. Definitely recommend to visit this place 😊

I was there again today and its a great place. Hadnt been in yrs and they have expanded. Gorgeous My green juice was delicious 😋 They also have my friends Maya Moon chocolates there!! So yummy!!!

ORDER the gluten-free fries, you will thank yourself bite after bite until the plate is cleared. Ask for their Aoili sauce to dip if you would like to spice up the seasoning. Our omelette was good, flavored well, and hearty. We would recommend the gluten free wrap, any flavor that you choose. Perfectly flavored and filling.

The food is great, but the service makes the experience at GOODONYA worth coming back again and again (and again). Make sure to try their coffees and desserts, too. Thank you for a wonderful experience, Sydney!

I ordered a Spicy Chicken sandwich w/GF bread to go and was given a Pesto Chicken Sandwich instead. The restaurant was empty and they still got my order wrong. And to make the matter worse, the sandwich was greasy and super moist, so the bread was soggy and falling apart. I could barely eat it with my hands as it fell apart w/ea bite I took. Not to mention I didn’t really want to eat all the cheese as it upsets my stomach. Which is why I don’t order it in the first place. They gave it me wrapped in foil, no bag or other packaging instead of a proper to go container and as soon as I opened it, the grease spilled out from the wrapping and stained my pants. It was the messiest sandwich I’ve ever eaten. I was only given 1 napkin for this disaster and no utensils. I had to eat before a medical test and I was in a hurry. I didn’t have time for them to make another sandwich. But i did go in and ask if it was actually GF, since they gave me the wrong sandwich. The only thing they did was apologize for giving me the wrong order. Part of me expected them to offer a coupon for a free sandwich in the future to make up for their mistakes. $20 for a greasy sandwich w/no sides that is falling apart + $60 for a new pair of pants = VERY EXPENSIVE LUNCH. Sad to see great potential being wasted by bad customer service.

I have a tree nut, peanut and coconut allergy. It isn’t deadly but I am cautious. This was my first time here. I look at the menu and see pancakes so that’s what I order. The pancakes come and I take a bite and I can taste almond flour. I work in the restaurant industry and go to a culinary school. I’m familiar with flavors and could tell instantly it was almond. No where on the menu does it say gluten free or that it was made out of almond and coconut flour… I’ve taken a class on allergies and I’ve taken a class on how to properly form a menu. I have never in my life been somewhere where an item is made out of nuts and it DOESN’T say so. Just think what could’ve happened if I was more allergic. When I alerted the server he made it seem like it was my fault for not telling him about the allergy???? He said he will take it off the bill…like I would hope so because I didn’t eat it and it could’ve killed me. The server horribly addressed the situation and tried to get me to order something else. I don’t feel comfortable ever eating here again. Absolutely ridiculous.

So great to have this healthy eatery open on an Easter Sunday ! Great spot we love it long time

This is a simple restaurant with a simple menu; it's nothing I cannot make myself at home. However, it was nice to visit while catching up with a friend. I ordered the Fried egg plate; the eggs were a perfect over-easy and I wasn't sure what "sweet potato hash" would look like, but I wasn't at all impressed (see photo). Everything was clean and fresh though. We dined on the patio, which was lovely. There's plenty of seating indoor and out, and the tables are spaced nicely apart. People-watching and seeing the city slowly wake up would have been awesome except for the high number of homeless wandering about. We came on a not-busy Tuesday morning, and service was not rushed. I would probably come back if friends want to visit but I would much rather go to Peace Pies for lunch to be honest. Pros: - walkable location - fresh ingredients, small menu - lunch available all day - Cons: - parking sucks (go to the transit center) - a bit pricey

Wooo! I'm on a review roll! Just reviewed Tsuruhashi in FV and came out here with a friend to try this place out after our workout! It is located on a busy street in Encinitas so expect parking to be a little bit difficult on weekends. Place does get busy as well so expect a wait. They can accommodate bigger parties as well but mainly outside. They do have a patio for outdoor seating incase you have a dog as well! We were quoted about a 25 minute wait for a party of 2 on a Sunday at 12:30pm. It did take about that time as well! We sat down and began to look at the menu. 100% organic as it is touted but the main dish that interested me was the protein scramble! I also ordered a iced vanilla mint as a beverage. My friend ordered a cashew vanilla latte and when our drinks came out we did ask our server for sugar. He took a long while and mind you the place is pretty busy so when the hostess came by we asked for sugar again and she forgot as well. Finally when our food did come out, our sugar came as well. Little bit of a fumble but recovered fine haha. The protein scramble consists of eggs, sausage, cheddar, mushroom. It is also served with sourdough toast and butter as well. Alone, the scramble tasted fine! But I would really suggest you add some hot sauce on it because it does enhance the flavors way more! My favorite though was my iced vanilla mint latte! The mint accentuated the vanilla taste which was definitely refreshing to drink. Definitely order this if you come here and you are a coffee drinker! Overall, this place is good. It was around $20 for my meal and it is a good amount of food and beverage for what you pay for. A little fumble on the service but that can always be fixed and worked on. I would say this place is solid though. Me and my friend wished we sat outside too in that really nice outdoor patio too!

Are you kidding me? - I ordered a Scramble Protein - I added avocado and bacon. I expected some avocado, and maybe a few eggs, but I got this picture attached. This is what $26 gets you... I don't care if your chickens have never been touched by humans and only ate organic wild caught birdseed - this is a disgrace. It also doesn't help that they couldn't care enough to include the avocado I paid $3 for. Look, I get it, it's organic and overpriced but this is beyond an insult for eggs and sausage/bacon - this is unethical.

I love the ingredients and what this place stands for but I have never really had good service there.

Huge fan of the food here. The dishes I've had relatively simple and straightforward but what they do, they do well. They use great ingredients and they're packed full of flavor. It does take some time to get food, but I feel like it's worth the wait. I have yet to have a dish that I haven't liked here. So far, the Baja scramble was a big crowd pleaser the first time I came here- all three of us ordered it and liked it. The second time I was feeling a scrambled egg sandwich, and I loved that the bread came grilled like a grilled cheese. My server directed me toward the beef chorizo and I was real happy with that addon. Will definitely be back, hopefully sooner than later!

If you are looking for healthy fresh organic breakfast item, this is a must try. We ordered their protein scramble that had sausages and eggs with a side of pancakes. This is a no frills place, just good food. The scrambled protein eggs were fluffy and tasty. Their pancake is not your typical overly sweet pancake and on the thinner side but still delicious with maple syrup. Our waiter was helpful and checked on us periodically. Great little cafe in the heart of Encinitas.

Great service clean fresh food, what more can anyone want !! Their cashew dip with sliced cucumbers, it's amazing.

Not great. We went here on a Saturday afternoon about 1.5 hours before closing. It was pretty empty. Service was really slow, and it took the waiter a long time to visit our table at all. We didn't get water until our food arrived. I was pretty disappointed in the food. The eggs were incredibly dry and seemed like they were microwaved or sat under a heat lamp for 20 minutes. The black beans were just thrown in eggs with some cheese, and they didn't bring me avocado even though it came with the Baja scramble. The waiter asked if I wanted to be charged for it, but I said no thanks. I was about to get up and go to the front to ask for a menu to check when he brought the avocado and apologized, which was nice. I picked around and ate the edible parts with the avocado. What was left was rubbery eggs that were hard to cut into and bouncy. I do really like that they have mostly gluten free dishes and clean ingredients, but the slice of sourdough bread was the best part of the meal.

We came for a late breakfast and I can't imagine we'll come again. I ordered 'the Jackie' breakfast sandwich and it was the most pathetic sandwich I've ever had for $15. It was an egg, 2 strips of bacon, and a slice of cheese on a roll. That's it. No sauce of any kind... an aioli or herbed mayo or SOMETHING would've been a nice touch. It was boring and a total rip-off. We also had breakfast tacos and those were a better value and not terrible.

Excellent customer service! Food is well done and organic and came out quick for our 7 top - perfect kids menu for our little one. Delicious and high quality coffee drinks.

This place is a cute cafe that has fresh pastries and coffee and latte drinks and is located in a nice downtown area. Plenty of food options. My scramble was good but a little light especially for the price. Overall friendly service. The wait wasn't too bad for a Sunday morning.

I firmly believe that health is wealth, and this place truly embodies that philosophy. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with an array of organic and nutritious options on the menu. The staff here are incredibly friendly, and the service is always prompt, whether you're in a rush or have ample time to savor your meal outdoors. Don't forget to grab some bone broth to take away for later - it's a perfect addition to your wellness routine. For those with sensitive stomachs or a strong desire to eat clean, this establishment is a must-visit. I highly recommend it!

Great outdoor seating and healthy options. Solid menu and quick and easy to get in and out for a meal. I came here for brunch over the weekend, no wait and excellent food and service. Recommend for a nice outdoor brunch!

Freaking yes. 100X yes to GOODONYA. I wish there were more! The food is delicious and clean. Love the emphasis on organic and natural ingredients here. I tried the pesto chicken sandwich and was hooked on that. I love the homemade pesto sauce. I highly recommend trying it! I also tried the sauerkraut turkey sandwich. I really like this as well, I did get pesto on the side for this one too. Give me all the pesto. That is a threat. Alas, this was all I got to try before I left san deigo. I loved the friendly staff here, the food can be a wait but it's worth it. Be patient and check out the awesome shop! There are gifts, candles, cards and Lots of health supplements, healthy foods to explore. Relaxing environment. A welcoming and wonderful gem this place is.

We came here for lunch on a Saturday. We we told the wait would be 15 mins for inside and 30 mins for outside. We opted for what was first open. It was less than 15 mins and we were seated outside. Luckily it was a nice day out. While waiting, we checked out the market next door. I couldn't decide on a sandwich so the wait person suggested the chicken pesto or roasted veggie. I went for the pesto chicken sandwich with sourdough bread. My husband got the California burrito. It came out hot and it was all tasty! Note: they offer gluten free sourdough bread for your sandwiches too! Tip: if you check in on Yelp, there's a discount offer for dinner at the time we checked in. We didn't use it since we're weren't there for dinner but that just means we have to come back.

Stopped by for a quick breakfast, not too crowded and I stayed outside. They have heaters to keep you warm when it's cold and I was able to bring my puppies with me in their baggie. The coffee was super delicious... too bad I forgot what it was named!!! It was the right amount of foam and sweetness. The Tuna Salad was alright, tastes similar to canned tuna lol... Service was fast and very kind. One of the waitresses and I chatted for a brief moment, it shows that she cares and enjoys talking to people! I love when the staff take the time for customers to feel special! They have a cute shop next door with small trinkets and goodies you should check out after/before you dine-in.

Everything here is organic and very tasty. I was not sure since organic and sometimes mean not as delicious. We also had very friendly service. The bone broth, chocolate, chip cookie, and brownies were all great. The brownie which actually is made very healthily is so delicious. We only wish they were open for dinner.

Slow service but overall a good spot, with good food. Love that everything is organic, and Non-GMO! Location is great, other than the lack of decent parking. Have a seat on the patio, there's plenty of umbrellas!

Stoppe here on our day in Encinitas for breakfast. So good. I am not a big organic/vegetarian person but the food is really amazing. Cool vibe, good service, great location, and yummy food!

Great spot to stop at if you're looking for a healthy breakfast or lunch in Encinitas. They have a great section of sandwiches, salads and wraps as well as so many fun lattes. I got the sprout probiotic wrap & the turkey Kraut Grilled Cheese Sandwich to split. The wrap was super refreshing and light, great if you're looking for a veggie option but still very flavorful. The grilled cheese was amazing, definitely more substantial but still didn't feel super unhealthy like a normal grilled cheese. Would highly recommend asking for the habanero hot sauce on the side! Service was also great and very attentive, lots of options to sit outside and they just put in a shop next door with lots of health foods, wine, and boutique items.

We've come here a couple of times on Saturday mornings to enjoy a well balanced and healthy breakfast. It's a nice change of pace from the brunch spots that leave you feeling bloated and ready for a nap after. I enjoyed a nourishing veggie bowl with chorizo for extra protein and it was a great filling portion size. My partner likes to get the California breakfast burrito as he's usually refilling after a long bike ride. We typically opt for an indoor seat for quick service but if you have the time to wait for an outdoor patio spot it's a great option on a warmer morning.

Delicious and healthy and fresh! In LOVE with the fresh salad and the sunflower shoots! Perfect for clean energy food. I'll definitely be coming back to devour that salad dressing again.

This is one of my favorite spots of all time. Every time I come here I have an amazing experience! Diego or Kelsey usually takes care of me and they are two of the most friendly, kind, and accommodating people ever! The hostesses are always super sweet as well. I literally look forward to seeing them every time I go in. The food is super consistent and always tastes incredible. I love that they use clean, organic ingredients with no seed oils. This place is a 10/10 and I love being a regular here. I always get the Baja scramble and the repair latte. Thank you everyone in the FOH and BOH for your hospitality and great work!

Food: 7/10 The California Burrito and pancakes were standard and what you could expect at any brunch location. The mushroom root beer was an interesting menu item that tasted very similar to normal root beer. Vibe / Service: 10/10 - They were very accommodating and sat us quickly for a party of 7 even though we only had 3 people present. The inside is cute and the staff were friendly and attentive. While we chose to not sit outdoors due to the cold weather, the outside area was very popular with stone fires and heaters. Parking: 8/10 - Street parking only. We had no trouble finding parking around 9 am on a Sunday but did have to walk about a block. Facilities: 4/10 - We had to constantly bat away flies which was annoying. The bathroom was in the attached store next door which was a bit inconvenient.

This place is business in the front, party in the back. The restaurant is right next to the little market where you can get grab and go/take out food and beverages. We chose to sit in the dining room. I had a really hard time deciding what to get to eat because there at just too many good options! I ended up getting the chicken pesto sandwich, and it was so fresh!! My only critique was that it needed some salt. The French fries are excellent, but don't get them if you don't want to feel diet guilt - they're VERY greasy and fatty, considering they are fried in tallow (animal fat) Service was outstanding! Our hostess, Alex was the star of the show. She gave excellent beverage and entree suggestions. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy, but not packed. I asked the waiter and he said the best time to snag a spot for dinner is a Thursday night since it's never too crowded then!

Love this place! Great drinks, gluten-free options, and flavorful food. Perfect spot for a healthy breakfast with friends. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

I'm kind of annoyed at how uninteresting this place was. Good reviews abound, right? Meh. I got a lavender London fog and it was so boring, I didn't finish it. I also got an avocado toast which maybe should have been listed as tomato toast because it was way more tomato than avocado. Again, really boring, like I'm certain that you make better avocado toast at home. Our service was mid.

Really good food, but I can't believe I paid $28 for a gf thai chicken wrap. Quite expensive especially for the size.

The food was good, they had a lot of options for a variety of dietary restrictions. We were able to easily accommodate vegetarian, gluten free, & picky kiddos. However, the service is so slow. It was over an hour from placing the order until food arrived & we were consistently running out of drinks. I wouldn't recommend the GF bread for sandwiches, it wasn't sturdy enough for the options but if you're okay eating it with a fork and knife it's great!

First time! We were dog sitting and wanted to explore encinitas... saw this place on Yelp and had to try it! And boy did we have a happy tummy after. Ordered mimosas because it's 5 o'clock somewhere! Pancakes for me and breakfast burrito for him. Omg the food tasted sooooo fresh! I felt so healthy but sooo good and you can never get that. It's usually either one or the other. They also have a cute shop inside that has all the cutest things. So tempted to buy everything. But we saw bone broth on the menu and saw you could purchase it so we did at the store. Idk if my boyfriends taste buds are super salty but he said that the bone broth we bought from them didn't have much flavor but I enjoyed it. This place is cute! And anytime we dog sit we will be coming back for-sure!!!!

Best food and atmosphere in Encinitas a lot of restaurants say they're healthy but don't use the best oil. These guys are legit everything taste amazing and so glad they are in our town.

I've always loved this eatery as a restaurant but their private dining space is my NEW FAVORITE PLACE to host a party. Just had my daughter's 16th birthday in their "wine lounge" (we didn't serve wine). It's an adorable patio with a covered dining area that seated the 16 girls very comfortably. It's got the perfect Encinitas vibe and was completely Instagram worthy for all the discerning teenage girl. The staff was attentive and accommodating, the food was delicious (of course) and my daughter felt completely spoiled. It was especially nice to be able to work directly with executive chef Sarah Spry on designing the menu since my daughter is gluten-free, vegan, and allergic to nuts.

Perfect for gluten free & dairy free people! Healthy, yummy & variety of choices for all. Came at noon on a Friday & we were able to get indoor seating right away. We had fabulous service from Lexi today with guidance on menu options. Berry tea latte was wonderful. Hard kombucha was good. Highlight of meal was the gf avocado toast. Both the fried egg avocado toast & the sweet potato hash avocado toast were delicious. Prices are not cheap, but healthy eating costs more, & the portions are generous. Can't wait to come back & try many other menu items!!

Came in on the way to work, sat at a small, Pub table, on the window. Had the Baja Scramble, which was really good. Wait staff was super friendly, service was quick, and the place had a nice Vibe.

My super picky eater LOVED their pancakes! He said they were the best he has ever had! Total win! I had the Thai salad which was scrumptiously mouth watering delicious!! Everything single item on this menu is organic, almost every item is gluten free and there are lots of vegan options. We will be going back without a doubt! I highly recommend this place!!

Good Onya Came to good onya for breakfast while in Encinitas, and it was great! I got an iced latte with caramel and almond milk and it was creamy and delicious. I had the protein scramble with sausage and mushrooms and it was very good. It came with bread and butter which was the real gem. I had to ask for a little extra butter so I could lather it on, and the sourdough was crispy and tasty. Really cute place, I would definitely go back!

This is a great place to grab a healthy and quick meal to go! Cute lil inside and gift shop if you need a prezzie on your way. Nice and friendly staff. Yummy food and drinks. Parking can be tricky but there's several lots around you can park and walk from.

Fresh and healthy! Nice ambiance and friendly service. You can't go wrong with anything here.

Came here on a Sunday. We were told a 10 minute wait, but waited much longer more like 20-30 minutes. We were seated at a table when we asked to check on the time. They forgot to give us a menu, so when the waiter came he asked if we were seated by the host or we helped ourselves to a seat. Maybe it was an off day. The food was alright. We sat outside.

Went for lunch today (Monday afternoon) at this place. It wasn't crowded at all. I placed my order 10 mins after arriving. 20 mins went by and then the sever came back to ask if I would like to place my order .. I told him I already did. He comes back 5 mins later to tell me my order isn't in and I need to place it again. I told him Once Again what my order was. Then waiting another 20 mins for it to come out only to get this soggy piece bread in it. Clearly it was made and kept out for a long time before it was brought to me. I still paid my full bill, something I regret now. If this is the kind of service You get on slow days I can't imagine what they do when the place is full. Definitely never going back here.

I loved this place until after struggling to park and unloading kids we arrived at 3:42 they seated the party in front of us and told us they were now closed. when I said to them that they. are open until 400pm they told me too bad, we are closing now. if you advertise a 400pm close then seat people until 400pm !

100% awesome but service is sometimes slow when it's busy! But the food is good and drinks are good

I would come back to this place just because of Athena, truly. She was the first face you saw and spent so intentional with each customer yet so attentive to the others coming or in line. She was so knowledgeable & helped me narrow down what items I purchased. The products are top notch, & there is a PLENTIFUL variety of products from health foods to self care to home decor. Definitely stop in! I was roaming the store for 30min...

Excellent fresh organic food ! Great service and friendly staff! Had the protein plate with eggs

Always great service and good healthy food choices. The road outside can be quite noisy.

I loved this place before they expanded to a full service/ sit down restaurant and wine bar. The quality of the food is still top notch, but it's such a scene now! Long wait times and slightly higher prices.

Lovely staff. Highest quality food. Absolutely A+. Grateful to have found this spot awhile back, it's my go to!

Last time. Tried it once more and left there paying over $50 for nothing. $17 sandwich came with nothing. I mean nothing. 4 sprigs of sprouts on the side, no option without paying more for a side. Not even a freakin pickle! Overpriced. Do not care that it is "organic" it's overpriced. Taste: OK but not worth $17 with no side. If I added a side, $3+, drink $3+ looking at $23 for myself. That's nuts for the amount of food. Most of the other items I have tried are bland and boring. Not the best at seasoning. Nectarine Grove is a way way better deal and the food is much better. I get twice as much food for less. A similar sandwich is 2x the food, plus fries or salad on the site for $15-17.00 Not sure why people are paying so much for this food. The place looks like it knows what it is doing but it does not. Food is bland, service is slow and prices are outrageous. It may be a "cute" spot and offer "clean" organic food but it's not worth it, trust me. Everyone who eats here must have no idea what food is suppose to taste like. Never coming back.

I really want to like this eatery as I love the concept, but the value for money is not there... my chicken paillard was bland and just look at the pitiful plating. Is that supposed to be attractive, putting the bits of food in the corners of the plate? Couldn't even put more salad on the plate or some other veggies? I don't even think I got 4 oz of chicken. I appreciate that it's pastured but I expected more. If it tasted better I would have let the stinginess slide Also I'm skeptical of using rice bran oil to deep fry French fries, it's an industrial oil with too much omega 6 and not enough omega 3. It's just trendy. I would love to see restaurants go back to frying in beef tallow which is much better (the vegetable oil industry and its moneyed benefactors dispute this, of course).
