Nutmeg Bakery & Cafe - Danielson

I just found out this place has been open for a year, and I can’t believe I didn’t know about it until now! Turns out they relocated from the Scripps Poway Parkway location, which used to be one of my favorite cafés. The new spot is tucked inside an industrial unit—you wouldn’t find it unless you noticed the sign out on the street. Inside, it’s super cozy with comfortable chairs, and the staff is absolutely wonderful. My latte was delicious, though I wish I hadn’t had to ask for a “for here” cup. Definitely planning to come back!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

This was my first visit since they moved and the food was just really bad. I got an overcooked quiche with a side salad that was half rotten lettuce. My sister’s meal was just as bad. This was so disappointing, I was a regular at the old location.

My husband and I have always loved Nutmeg over the years and tried this new location. We love the coffee, matcha, and bakery goods. However, we hope to see the food quality improve because the breakfast was not the same as the old location. Staff interactions were excellent, thank you Maddie for your service this morning. We witnessed her handling a very intimidating and challenging customer as we were eating. Maddie kept her composure and set appropriate expectations to ensure the customers needs could be met. Great work! We always love Nutmeg, and we will give the food another go provided the quality won’t continue to go down!
