Nutmeg Bakery & Cafe - Danielson

Our family loves the delicious treats and healthy options here. We have been enjoying the Sabre Springs location for years, and thrilled to see this one has less of a line, but same delicious food options, and even did this fun art in my delicious Oatmilk Mexican Mocha. Thank you Nutmeg for making both locations excellent and worth coming back.

There's something special about this place. The coffee warms your heart like a soft blanket, I highly recommend the Nutmeg Latte; it's impossible to be in a bad mood sipping one. The staff is so charming and sweet and the food is a wonderful blend of clean eating and delicious taste. The vegan scramble is always my personal favorite. Perfect place to recharge during a stressful workday!

Recently, Nutmeg near my home closed, and they moved next to Costco in Poway. I tried their Capri panini, and my husband had the Loaded Italian. Both were disappointing—definitely not worth $15 each. The Capri wasn’t even changed to sourdough as I requested, and the Loaded Italian was barely filled. Also, the trash outside was overflowing. Not impressed.

We went to check out the new Nutmeg location. We used to go to their Scripps Ranch location before they relocated to this new one on Danielson. The decor is modern and clean inside with a small patio outside. The place is new and pretty empty at 10am on a Friday morning. Ordered the chilaquiles and it was really disappointing. I do not recommend this dish at all. It's plain with a lot of melted cheese that started congealing into a big mass over the soggy tortilla chips as it cooled. And the refried bean is served separately as a side and looks very unappetizing. I ended up just scraping the cheese off and picking the tortilla chips out. My friend liked her shashuka. The Nutmeg Scramble was also good too. Service was good and we were checked on a couple of times while we were there.

First time here, café & Bakery spot, didn't know what to expect. I was pleasently surprised, atmosphere was great, we were greeted by wait staff as we entered. Menu was way more extensive then I expected, we got panini sandwiches which were very good, Big Bad Wolf and The Capri. I did not have any Pastries, but they looked delicious. I will definitely be back for lunch, and I would also like to try breakfast.

This was my first time since they moved. I ordered the omelet.It was very bland and not fluffy like a typical omelet. The potatoes were very dry. I was disappointed as this was not my experience at the old location. Maybe new owners took over? I'm not sure I'll go back.

Great spot for breakfast or lunch hidden in the Poway industrial Park. Definitely worth seeking out. Capri sandwich is a flavor bomb while the avocado toast is a wonderful meal. The black tea has fabulous flavor. They'll gladly give you a refill (unlike the other bakery around the corner).

*Update* Looks like some of the growing pains of the initial move are wearing off because my second trip was a 10/10. I had the Bluefin special and the wife had her usual scramble and everything was fresh and delicious. Also looked well-staffed on a Tuesday morning. Really brought back the original Nutmeg experience in the new location. Happy to have you guys closer to us and look forward to getting many more breakfasts from you in the future! Huge fan of nutmeg bakery and frequented their old location often. This new location is more convenient for us so really want it to do well. Nutmeg had the best quiche I've ever had but today it was definitely not that quiche. I hope the food goes back to being fresh not frozen as I'd really rather wait 30 minutes for a $16 quiche then get a heated up one in 5 minutes. The positives that keep me coming back are unmatched baked goods (less options but still the same amazing taste), Delicious coffee, and of course your top notch customer service. Even though your lone server Maddie had a sudden influx of customers she was able to make drinks and communicate well to all of the patrons. It was very impressive and she was even able to remain polite and handle a schizophrenic Karen who started making up stories and yelling at Maddie before finally storming off. I don't wish those kind of atrocious customers on anyone and I definitely couldn't have held my tongue like she did in that interaction. We'll be back to the new location soon and I hope the food will be better next time.
