The Best Brunch Spots In San Diego - San Diego - The Infatuation

"Nectarine Grove is Encinitas personified: the menu is loaded with wellness buzzwords and plenty of gluten-free organic options, though it could satisfy almost anyone on any diet. We go for the roasted vegetable bowl with herby cashew cheese and lemon vinaigrette, and the plantain-crusted fried chicken and waffle—the chicken is light and crunchy on the outside with tender white meat within. Nectarine Grove works whether you’re cruising by for a mid-day brunch or just stopping in for a quick mint chip smoothie (with hemp seeds and cacao nibs) pre- or post-yoga class." - candice woo, cora lee, ligaya malones

The Best Restaurants In North County San Diego - San Diego - The Infatuation

"After cycling the 101 or downward dogging at one of the many yoga studios around Encinitas, head to Nectarine Grove to keep the wellness streak going. Their menu leans organic, gluten-free, and vegan, like an excellent (and filling) roasted sweet potato fajita bowl with chipotle cashew sauce or their falafel tacos with dairy-free tzatziki. It’s also the kind of place where you can get collagen in your latte and order smoothies with ingredients like goji berries and hemp seeds. Sipping on a butter latte may help you decide whether to hit the cold plunge or sauna afterward." - ligaya malones, candice woo

Had the best experience eating here. So grateful to have a completely gluten free place to eat! Such a nice relief, thank you!! We tried so many things - regular meals, kid meals, desserts and loved them all. Would absolutely come back again. We were visiting from out of state. I wish they had a location in my home state! Im gonna dream about that peanut butter brownie 🤤We look forward to coming back again in the future.

I loved that this place is gluten free and they had lots of dairy free options. The staff where you place the order at the counter was certainly less than helpful or friendly. The food we received was very tasty, although both myself and my husband had lukewarm meals. I'm also unsure why a bowl of butter came with my dairy free waffle. Or maybe it was safe, but I couldn't tell! Finally, if you do go here, there is free parking across the street in the gravel! We drive around the nearby neighborhood because we didn't notice this until after.

This restaurant has been on my list and I’m so grateful that I made the stop on my way from Orange County to San Diego! I have tried many amazing foods in my life, but this hands down wins some of the tastiest breakfast/lunch food I have ever had. The cinnamon roll is next level good, And my husband, who is not gluten-free, Said it was The best cinnamon roll he’s ever had. Whatever they are doing to make the food taste so good, keep it up!!

I had such a fantastic time at this place! 👍🏽 The menu is packed with so many tasty options that it was tough to pick just one (my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach! 😁😁). I ended up going with the Chicken and Waffles, and let me tell you, it was a delicious choice! For my hot drink, I tried the Loaded Mushroom Mocha, which was absolutely heavenly. I really enjoyed my breakfast—such a lovely start to the day! 🥞🍳🐥🐣🧇🧇

Fantastic restaurant. Clean sourced food without lacking taste or texture. VERY accommodating for food allergies. They’re chicken & waffles and cinnamon roll tie for first place for me. Both gluten free for us. One of my favorite restaurants in the United States.

Came here twice and everything was sooo good! The first day, yes, it was very busy during lunch time and had to wait longer than I would have liked. Took my California burrito to the beach to eat (so it had been in the box a little bit) and y'all it still held together, didn't fall apart and tasted so yummy! If you ever have had basically any other gluten free tortilla, they always fall apart! The second day came earlier for breakfast and our food for five people all came out quickly. The chicken and waffles were amazing, as well as the breakfast waffle, breakfast burrito, pancakes, and breakfast plate. I'm the only one that needs to eat gluten free, but everyone thoroughly enjoyed!

This place was amazing! The entire menu is gluten free, and they accommodate most allergies and have clear labels throughout the menu. We got the Boss Burger and Chicken Sammie and both were delicious! Probably their biggest win was the bread — the buns were phenomenal and tasted like they weren’t even gluten free. We also got a cinnamon roll, which was warmed and covered by a huge scoop of fresh icing on top. Amazing options and a great experience!! UPDATE: We went a second time early in the morning and the cinnamon roll was even BETTER than before — seems like earlier in the day = better pastries! AND there was almost no line!

LOVE Nectarine Grove!! Best breakfast burritos and waffles ever! Only issue, the waffles were room temp/cool (not warm at all) maybe because our order was To Go, but the flavor - AMAZING! Love that they now have Apple Pay too. BEST cafe in North County!

The space looks really nice and clean. Food was delicious, had a burger and a cinnamon roll, both really really good and gluten free, it had been YEARS since I had those and I'm so glad I did it at Nectarine Grove! I now go there whenever I crave cinnamon rolls They are nice and make sure you know the ingredients in what you order!

I love their pastries and food! Very yummy and a thoughtful environment. alternative cheese is really good and everything tastes super fresh. My one piece of feedback is that their matcha lattes are really hit or miss based on the barista. I can either get a really nice, smooth matcha or a really gritty clumpy one based on the barista making them. I've had to come home and strain my drink on multiple occasions to get rid of clumps. Which kinda sucks when you're paying like $8.50 for a drink. I've had this happen at both the leucadia and the del mar location multiple times. but i will continue to come because i do love it here, just maybe go next door for my drinks.

This is a lovely spot to check out any time of day. They have a large menu with drinks that are gf and lots of vegan options as well. I ordered the farmers market scramble which has vegan cashew cheese and it was perfect! The berry lemonade was also super flavorful to sip on. Everyone was very friendly and happy which was refreshing. There is a large patio seating area which is great on days with impeccable weather, but there is also seating inside. Pups are also welcome outside. I 100% recommend checking out this spot! You won't regret it.

I'm always looking for spots that actually have fruit puree in their fruity flavored matchas. The seasonal cherry matcha has actual cherry mashed in there! It erred on the sweet side, but had great cherry flavor.

My absolute favorite brunch and lunch spot in north county SD. Parking can be a hassle on a busy summer day but this fast casual spot is a great place to meet up with friends or bring kids along. Everything is GF and delicious. I love the fried chicken and waffles or Quiche for a comfort meal but there are so many great healthy options for breakfast and lunch. The counter staff is friendly and patient and i appreciate that they bring the food to your table.

Fantastic little place that you would almost drive pass and miss but you shouldn't. The menu is an amazing selection and the tastes are incredible. Brilliant selection of coffees, cakes and breakfast choices. Very casual and friendly and great service from staff that really care that you are enjoying the experience.

I visited with my GF in April 2025 and was blown away. There is a reason there is always a line it seems (we visited twice on two separate days during the weekend - it was that good) - the food and drinks are delicious. This place is good enough that we would make an effort to stop by if traveling through or close enough to it. The menu offers so many gluten free options and my goodness is their food good. For our first visit, we ordered half gluten free pizzas and mozzarella sticks. The half is the perfect size for most people to eat. I was impressed with the crust - it's hard to describe. The texture reminded me of cornbread but most likely was made from cauliflower. Whatever it is, it is DELICIOUS. The mozzarella stick breading was also tasty and seasoned well. Inside, you'll find a a couple tables to sit at but the best place to sit is outside. The patio area is a wonderful place to eat your meal. This is a must visit.

Great tuck-in spot along the beach for breakfast, brunch, lunch. All the ingredients are fresh and vegan/allergy/vegetarian inclusive. Nectarine has plentiful exterior seating and long but limited interior seating. It's a great grab and go or enjoy San Diego weather under shade umbrellas on the patio. Overall service was great complete with tasty recommendations. I'd stay clear of the grab and go beverage section as water was $9! Food delivery was a little confusing after ordering. You're given a number to find a table to dine. However, we waited 20 minutes for the coffee and received our food already. Turns out coffee pickup is inside which wasn't clear when ordering. My friend popped in for our coffee and were surprised to learn they still hadn't finished the coffees after 20minutes. I got the farmer's market scramble and it was SOOOO GOOD! I loved the presentation and all the flavors paired together. I was initially intimidated by chipotle cashew sauce and the look of the whole grain bread. However, they were incredibly tasty! Some improvements: clear communication on location of coffee pickup, time to brew, free water option, and expand bathrooms (1 stall with consistently 5 people in line).

Nice people, delicious latte, but the poke bowl was a disappointment. Tough fish and not really satisfying. Their breakfasts are usually quite good, however, so maybe I'll stick to that.

I always enjoy the food at Nectarine Grove! From the fresh bread to pastries and brunch items, I appreciate the wide variety of options for those of us with gluten allergies. There aren't many 100% GF establishments in San Diego so this is one of my go-to spots. The overall menu feels very healthy conscious and fresh. The outdoor patio is a pleasant spot in Highway 101 to enjoy the weather alongside your tasty eats.

Ordered a roasted veggie bowl at 1223 and noticed everyone get their food right away. I was sick and didn't think too much of it but it turns out I was waiting 45 minutes when the whole time my ticket was apparently never brought back out or got lost when I had followed up with my food. Nonetheless, they comped my food and offered me a dessert for an apology Food was great like I remembered. It was just a bummer that I had to endure waiting so long. I'll still go back to eat a veggie bowl in the future

Lost my interest in this place over the years. I just don't want to afford it anymore. Baked goods are outrageous in cost but good. Coffee is not very good, sorry. Food is still above average but again, I can't see spending as much as we do for three people eating here. It gets a bit cray.

This place seems really popular so I was excited to give them a try but it was subpar at best. I ordered the Boss Burger and it was very dry and didn't have too much flavor to it. I may have just ordered the wrong item, but it still was disappointing. Food orders in my group also came out at very random times - there were some people who were basically finished eating by the time the others received their food.

OK, this was our first visit to nectarine Grove and for the most part enjoyed it. The outside patio today was perfect. The set up of ordering inside and being brought your food is not my favorite, but it works for this establishment. Will start with the positives, my burger was well cooked and I really liked the sort of thousand island dressing on the side. I thought the bread on both of our sandwiches was a bit dry, maybe that's the gluten-free aspect? My wife's chicken sandwich was actually really good, again we took off most of the bread and ate the vegetables and chicken. The fries are excellent. We saw a lot of really nice looking salads and other bowl units go by and they look great. Very healthy crowd plus very beachy, we like that. I guess my only knock for a four stars is the lack of service. Please don't ask me after paying $38 for two sandwiches that you typed into a computer for a six dollar tip. We got our own water and then had to ask inside for a glass of ice due to the lukewarm water. Clearing my own table has become the norm, not sure I love it but if it helps, I'm willing to do it Because of the interesting food I'm willing to give it another shot so stay tuned.

Ordered the carne asada fries but they weren't crispy at all and were very under seasoned. They put all the cheese in one corner and it was melted so I couldn't really distribute that to the rest of the fries; so 80 to 85% of 90% of the fries had no cheese and then just 10% had all the cheese. The salsa that came with was okay. Overall, the quality and portion were both disappointing for the $18 price. I'd probably pick something else to try for their food options next time because the lemon bar will always keep us coming back!

Who doesn't like a place that offers breakfast food all day long?!! Great food, fresh and not outrageously expensive (considering already high prices for SoCal). Better yet, you get value for what you pay. Came here for an early dinner and just beat the line- and I've always seen a line here! Casual dining 'order and sit' setup, both indoor and outdoor seating. They have baked goods too. Very healthy options but the meals are substantial and there is no shortage of flavor. I had the fajita bowl with steak that was so darn good and flavorful. It is a good sized portion too so if hungry, this is perfect. You can select the ingredients you prefer and I went with cauliflower rice- so delicious! Others in my grouphad the vege bowl with an egg and a breakfast taco. The menu had a really nice variety and I look forward to trying more! Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

I was very excited to take my wife to this restaurant for lunch on her birthday. They have a Crispy Chicken Salad that seemed like exactly what she would enjoy. It had plantain crusted chicken, dried cranberries, and, best of all, honey dijon dressing - her favorite. We ordered at the counter. The salad came with either chicken tenders or popcorn chicken. The young lady at the counter asked my wife which she preferred and my wife chose the popcorn option. I ordered the same salad, but asked the cashier what she recommended regarding the style of chicken. She stared at me with a blank look in her face. I asked her again which style she recommended. She basically said that they were both chicken, inferring that it was a stupid question. I told her I was concerned that frying small pieces of chicken (the popcorn chicken) might make them dry. Again, she looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. Or, like my concern was crazy. For some reason, maybe out of frustration, I ordered the salad with the popcorn chicken. And, guess what - the chicken was very dry. Kind of like breaded sawdust. Even my wife didn't enjoy the salad. There was too much romaine and not enough spinach. The dressing was just ok. And, of course, the popcorn chicken was disappointing, to say the least. So, we had a mediocre salad and I was made to feel stupid. The good news is that I took my wife out for a great birthday dinner.

Outdoor lunch during the local art fair is awesome! 100% gluten free paradise. Higher priced and lower level of service from what you would expect. Parking was a hassle, service was minimal, again asking you to tip before you have been given any service. We ate in the outdoor dining area, it was a bit loud and the buzzing Caltrains didn't help that at all. Not sure I'd make the effort to go back!

Wonderful place for breakfast! I really enjoyed my breakfast sammie with the turkey patty and a flat white with oat milk. Their barista was no joke, a ton of locals lining up for their coffees and teas. A sleeper for us was the pancake... I am not sure what they do to it but it is one of the best pancakes I've ever had. We also had the cinnamon roll, pictured. Literally a pound of cinnamon and a pound of frosting go onto it and they warmed it up for us. Cute outdoor patio that is dog friendly, and also a few tables and counter space to sit inside. Please note that their online menu doesn't have everything that they offer in real life, it's more extensive. I added photos for your reference

Very pleasantly surprised here! Here really lovely aesthetic and very creative menu and definitely would not expect so much deliciousness from a gluten free place! GUAVA MATCHA LATTE Was absolutely delicious! Husband ordered this because he loves a good guava drink and this was actually really really nice. The matcha and guava flavor went really well together and we got it Iced which made it perfect for summer! ROASTED VEGGIE BOWL (GF, V, P, DF, EF) (Seasoned Sweet Potatoes, Artichokes, Zucchini, Mushroom, Bell Peppers, Spinach, Chili Lime Pepitas, Herbed Cashew Cheese with a Lemon Vinaigrette and Balsamic Reduction) Absolutely love how nutritious and delicious and filling this was! Very large portion size here. And a very big portion of chicken as well which was much appreciated. Chicken was perfectly cooked and all the vegetables with the meat went so well together. Special shout out to that herbed cashew cream cheese! It was so yummy just plain! BREAKFAST WAFFLE (GF, P, EF) (Strawberries, Berry Compote, Vanilla Bean Coconut Cream, Orange Infused Almond Milk Ricotta, Maple Glazed Pecans. Maple Syrup on the Side) Undoubtedly the best waffle I have had in a very very long time! We ate this at the end of our meal after having the salad and the drink and everything, but somehow that waffle remained crispy! The berry comport with the vanilla bean coconut cream and that compote with the vanilla bean coconut cream and that orange infused almond milk ricotta.. everything went together so so so so perfectly well! The ingredients all sounded very creative and it really made the dish perfect!

Sleepy beach town hiding this great farm to table type spot! If you can find a parking spot on the after street or along the train tracks across the street, then you're good! Big menu with lunch and breakfast offerings and GREAT smoothie/juice and latte options. Tables inside and outside and friendly & attentive servers. I highly rec the mint chip smoothie! I loved my Roasted Veggie Bowl topped with chicken. My friend loved her Grove Salad

I wish they had a spot like this in my area! The world needs more health conscious restaurants. It was a Sunday, and it was very busy. I came in and ordered food to go. Although it was very busy, our food came out pretty promptly! At the time, I was doing keto and they had a lot of keto options to choose from, including a keto pastry that I was so excited to find! We got the eggs Benedict, which was excellent, and the protein plate, which was great, as well. The keto pastry was delectable! We each got a butter coffee, but I don't remember which ones. Those were also delicious! I will definitely make it a point to stop back whenever we are in the area! Very cute little restaurant with lots of outdoor seating!

Came here for a July 4th breakfast around ~10am with the girlfriend and pup. The line wasn't too long and we got our order in relatively quickly. The outdoor space was plentiful, and well shaded from the beating sun. The matcha latte and oat milk vanilla latte were impeccably smooth, and worth the 15 minutes it took to make. Sadly, the rest of our meal - which arrived ~10 minutes after our lattes - did not match the appeal of the lattes as the protein platter came with an already fragmented overcooked yolk and an overdone set of bacon strips. The sweet potatoes and spinach were fair. The breakfast burrito was sad, coming both cold and lacking significant flavor, resembling something that could be made at home. TLDR. Would come back for the drinks and the drinks alone.

Nectarine Grove. It's hard to find parking lots. There is a parking lot but you will have to cross two roads to get to the restaurant. My mom in law and I took an Uber there. You would have to queue up to order and once you're done, you have to collect your own drink and bring to the table. The food is delivered 6 table. You get a little queue wooden number to place on your table. It is free seating. They have seating inside and outside Inside you can choose between regular tables and high tables ( mainly around the coffee bar area). You can get your own glasses of water- no ice And also cutlery. It is a very chill vibe. For sauces, there is a little table outside for sauces. The variety are hot sauces, ketchup and mustard. There are also paper towels u can grab at those stations. The patio area is dog friendly. And there is fake turf for the dogs to lay on. This is a very cool place to hang out on a weekend! Love the chill vibe!!

Really enjoyed the vibe of Nectarine Grove. Super nice staff. A ton of options for people trying to avoid gluten or dairy. I liked my Turkey & Avo, even though it looked a bit out of the ordinary. The sandwich had two slices of turkey, one thinnish and with a very thick cut. The paleo baguette was easy to bite through, but didn't seem to have much substance. I ate the entire sandwich and was pleased. The sandwich was served with a small salad.

As someone who struggles to find delicious gluten-free and clean food, I have absolutely loved stumbling across nectarine Grove. They have so many different option options and all things that I can eat and I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every meal that I have ate here. I will say I'm not the biggest fan of how fried their chicken tenders and french fries are however it's very delicious Their barbecue sauce is so yummy! I'm obsessed with their pizzas and coffee! There is tons of seating options inside and out every time I've been there has been a line outdoor and service is fairly quickly! I haven't had any real interactions with Staff however we always have received our food fairly quickly and never had any issues there.

Matcha was fine! I actually LOVED my breakfast tacos, but my mom's falafel tacos were straight up bad. Such a stark contrast between our orders. Line was super long for weekend brunch (maybe can't be helped) and I feel like their counter service wasn't super efficient.

Really disappointed with my smoothie. It wasn't blended properly. Just chunks of vegetables and it took way too long to make. Something this simple shouldn't be this bad. To clarify the time stamp which I just had to double check and the time I placed my order was around 9:10 not 9:18!!!

Beautiful atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating. So many tasty healthy food options. Gluten free, vegan and paleo. We had the protein plate, turkey avocado sandwich, paleo pancakes and other food. Drinks were london fog, matcha and chai. All good. Long line but moved fast and means people like it and worth the wait. One drink was wrong but fixed right away. One bathroom long line and not clean. (Only negative.)

Tasty gluten free and healthier food options. But my menu is very limited here as I'm allergic to almonds. It makes it difficult to eat here for me cause they like to use a lot of almonds (which I'm surprised) including almonds milk in dressings, and almond flour etc. I also wish they would include ingredients somewhere online or even when ordering. I have gotten sick here twice now from hidden almond milk.

Stopped by for a quick min, it's always packed so have it a chance. Wow! I ordered the apple spice coffee cake and it was delicious! My daughter thinks it's dry, but I thought it was delicious! So delicious, I went back for a second piece for home. I eat limited items and these were all ok minus the coconut sugar. I figured I'd take a chance and it was great! Full of flavor and hit the spot. She also ordered the "The best pesto pizza and added pepperoni. I tried a slice and again, great!!! I usually stick with cauliflower pizza but this GF was just as delicious! I will definitely stop by as a lot of their products are healthier and right up my alley! Thank you!

Where to begin? I wanted to cry at how happy I was that my husband found this place. We went two times in 48hrs. The staff was amazing, service was quick and efficient. The food is so delicious. Tried various things to get a good feel. California burrito was excellent, mozzarella sticks so good, baked goods are delicious. I wish there was a cafe near me but an hour drive is worth it!

Appreciate all of the gluten free options, the English muffin was very good. Like a biscuit but everything else was mid. Cinnamon roll was very stiff. There are much better gf ones out there. The cold brew was watery and not very caffeinated. I needed a Starbucks after unfortunately. I ordered the eggs Benedict and the eggs were not poached or even over medium. They were over hard (see photo). I've never had a Benny that way but the runny yolks is the best part of the dish usually! The potatoes are pretty basic. Bacon was good. Would maybe return to buy bread. That's it. Best part was the dogs!

Nectarine Grove is my FAVORITE restaurant to eat at when I'm visiting friends in Solano Beach. I'm a DF/GF girlie and their menu is divine. I forgot to take pictures this trip of my meal but I got the Crispy Chicken Salad (no cranberries) and a Ginger Lemon Olipop. My friend got the Cali Club with fries. The employees here are always extremely friendly and accommodating and there's a huge outdoor seating area (with some indoor seating as well). Few items to be mindful of: this place gets PACKED on the weekends and parking is a nightmare so get there early if you're on a time crunch. They also only have one bathroom and when it's busy you'll have to wait in a line. Dog friendly outdoor seating (as is the norm for this area) and a very friendly community neighborhood feel.

I'm hitting this one with a 5 star review!!! This is a great lunch and coffee spot. Plenty of outdoor seating so you can bring your dog. You order at a counter and then sit down. They had a plethora of gluten, vegan, and dairy free options. What we got: - turkey avocado sandwhich (I surprisingly loved this!!) - classic with some amazing gluten free bread. - Cali club - bacon was good! Note : sanwhiches do get messy and fall apart. French fry sides were delishhhh! Will be back here when visiting Encinitas!

Came for brunch on a Sunday and it was popping! There are tables inside as well as ample seating outside. You order with the cashier and take your number to a table. The service was decent and relatively fast for a busy Sunday. Several people in our group ended up getting the steak chimichurri bowl with brown rice. It was very filling and light, definitely the healthy reset I needed after a long week of late nights and snacking. I also got a matcha latte with oat milk and it was very good. Good matcha flavor and not just green oat milk. The atmosphere was lively and since we sat outdoors it wasn't too loud. Definitely would come back next time I'm in San Diego!

I ordered the Breakfast Burrito with egg whites and my husband had the Cheese Pizza with grass-fed cheese... fresh, organic ingredients used. A clean eat I've been looking for! Breakfast served all day :)

One of my favorite spots in Encinitas! The coffee, smoothies and pastries are my favorite. This trip I got the bluey smoothie and cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll is one of the best gluten free ones I've ever had and I love the massive frosting scoop on top! Definitely recommend trying.

Been here several times now and it never disappoints! Food is fresh and allergy friendly. After my daughter was diagnosed with dairy and egg allergies I've become a lot more cognizant of places that are allergen friendly. Nectarine grove being one of the best! There's something on the menu for everyone. The veggie pesto scramble is a great choice for breakfast. Generous portion, flavorful, and nutritious. I've actually shared this with my husband with a latte and left satisfied! My biggest gripe is the parking and seating situation. Of the times I've been we have been able to find seating... but it has been a bit stressful. It's an order at the counter, find your own seat kind of joint. So nobody is helping you secure a table to enjoy your food at. There are a lot of seats outside but this place is popular -- they're usually full! The parking is also tough. There aren't a lot of spots on their side of the highway, so we usually park across the street in the dirt by the train tracks. It's not a bad walk, but when you've got kids and a stroller it can feel both dangerous and annoying.

Allergen Friendly/ 100% Gluten Free / Dairy Free Options / Nut Free Options I love Nectarine Grove for being one of the only places in San Diego for being 100% gluten free. It's an amazing feeling to be able to order anything off of their menu without the fear of being glutened. There's normally a long line to order, so I recommend ordering online. However, my only qualm is that some things are hit and miss. The California Burrito is the BEST thing to get here. It's flavorful, dairy free, and crave worthy, especially when gluten free burritos are hard to come by. However, I can't say the same with the breakfast burrito. It lacked salt, was greasy, and was falling apart as soon as I received it which was disappointing. There is plenty of seating available but it does get very busy if you come during the weekend, and parking is available on the street or near the tracks.
