We put ourselves on their online waitlist but was sat immediately when we arrived. I really liked the vibes around this place. It feels like you're really at home. I browsed through the menu and decided to try the spinach and mushroom hash and added a side of bacon. I also order the iced caramel apple matcha. The drink came out first and was absolutely delicious! The caramel apple paired well with the matcha flavor. Our food took about 10 minutes even though for the restaurant being really crowded! I took a bite of the bacon and it was super crispy and warm. It was delicious! The bacon here is definitely a must try! I then had the homemade jam with my English muffin and that was delicious as well! Now for the hash... that was absolutely delicious! Paired with the crispy bacon, it was warm on a small skillet bowl and would definitely get it again if I come by around the area! Overall my meal was around $35 which included the hash, side of bacon and the drink which was a fair price for what came out. I would definitely come by again if I was in the area to get my breakfast fix. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area!

I ordered the: *Crispy Chicken Sandwich: unfortunately it was probably the worst chicken sandwich I've had. The chicken was extremely dry and didn't have much flavor at all. Definitely not something I'd order again. The fries were good, however - thin, crispy, and probably the best part of the meal. Service wasn't much better. I had to ask two or three times for my water to be refilled, and the last time it never even got refilled. Overall, the service was mediocre and the food was really disappointing. I don't see myself coming back.

The place is pretty spacious, with plenty of seating inside and quite a few tables outside. Luckily, there were only two people ahead of us when we arrived, but the line got really long shortly after. Glad we came early! We both ordered Eggs Benedict. My husband got the ham version, and I went with the seafood Benedict with blue crab and shrimp. We also ordered a cinnamon roll, a latte, and coffee. I was surprised by how quickly our food came out, probably less than five minutes after we sat down! The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. I especially liked the seasoning on the shrimp. It had good flavor without being overly salty, which I always appreciate. My husband enjoyed his too, especially the thick-cut ham. The hash browns were good as well. The only thing about the Benedict that I didn't like was the English muffin. It wasn't necessarily soggy from the sauce, but it was softer than I prefer. I like mine a little more toasted. The latte was just okay too, as the milk foam was a bit too airy for my taste. The cinnamon roll, though, was HUGE and really good! Definitely worth sharing. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. The prices were reasonable for the portions, and it's a nice casual spot to grab breakfast or lunch while spending time in Carlsbad Village.

The employees said, "We'll be there in a minute" and when a young lady employee came over eventually and said to me, "let's not waste any more napkins, I'll take care of this." That is insensitive and uncalled for. You should have some in-house training on how to treat customers with dignity and courtesy and not be so busniess-like and abrupt.

I tried one of their summer specials, an Iced Banana Maple Latte with soy milk. I loved how bold and intense the flavor of the coffee was without it being overwhelming; however, I did not taste the banana or maple flavors at all. It just tasted like a straight up sweetened iced latte. Don't get me wrong, it's a great latte. But I guess I was just expecting to get more of the banana and maple flavors, especially since I was pretty excited about that flavor combination. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and the ambiance was great. I love that they have their roasting machine right where people can observe and watch the process if they wanted to. They have ample tables and chairs indoor, and a few outdoor as well. I'm pretty sure I'll be coming back here. I'll probably try the Caramel Cream Latte next time.

Fun Fact: "Manna" means an unexpected blessing, especially in a time of need! Atelier Manna was…read morecreated by Michelin-rated Chef Andrew Bachelier and his wife Larah as a creative workshop where food, art, wellness and community all come together. - Located in Leucadia, Atelier Manna is definitely not your typical brunch spot. It feels part restaurant, part art studio, part wellness experiment, and I mean that in the best way. The space is intimate and eclectic, with cookbooks, ceramics, artwork, salvaged materials and little pieces collected from the owners' travels throughout the space. You can tell there was a lot of thought put into making it feel personal rather than overly polished. Parking is do-able across the street by train , or on the street or surrounding neighborhoods. Best time to come when its not busy is W or TH morning! And then there's the food. We started with the Turkish eggs, soft poached eggs sitting over herbed yogurt, chili garlic butter and herbs with toast. The combination of the cool, tangy yogurt with the garlicky, slightly spicy butter was SO good. The toast is basically mandatory because you're going to want to swipe up every last bit of that sauce. P.S. dish comes with two eggs but you can order an extra egg if you have more people. The steak & tortilla was another standout. Snake River Farms zabuton steak with Spanish tortilla, black garlic romesco and Jimmy Nardello peppers. The steak was tender and cooked beautifully, but what really made the dish for me was the black garlic romesco. Rich, savory and slightly sweet, it tied everything together. And then came the torrija, Spanish-style French toast. This is not your basic brunch French toast. It's made with thick-cut sourdough, saffron vanilla, peach leaf oil, stone fruit and whipped labneh. The outside had that delicious caramelized/crispy texture while the inside was soft and custardy. The labneh was also such a good addition because it gave the dish a little tang to balance out the sweetness. Definitely a dish I'd order again. But we can't forget the drinks because Atelier Manna takes their non-alcoholic beverage program VERY seriously. Their "vitality tonics" are basically zero-proof cocktails with a wellness twist, and they are way more interesting than your standard juice or mocktail. I got the Mentawai: coconut, cold-infused green tea, lime leaf, pandan and astragalus, force carbonated. Light, refreshing and slightly tropical with enough acidity to keep it from tasting like straight coconut water. My friend got the Goldenrod, made with clarified cucumber, turmeric, honey and long pepper. Very refreshing and earthy with a little sweetness. Another friend went with the cold brew, which was smooth and fruity with a creamy body. I really appreciated that the drinks weren't just an afterthought. They actually felt like part of the experience. Overall, Atelier Manna is one of those places where you can tell the people behind it genuinely care about the details. The menu is creative without feeling like it's trying too hard, the space is unique and inviting, and the food manages to be indulgent while still incorporating a lot of fresh, thoughtful ingredients. Definitely a brunch spot worth the drive up to Leucadia, especially if you want something a little different from the usual eggs + mimosa situation.

My friend ordered the French toast and he said it was good, though he found the outside a bit too tough (like the outside of a well baked cinnamon roll).

My sandwich is delicious and compliments six thick slices bacon perfectly. I like the pepper mayo is making the tomato shine. White bread spread on with the mayo is a great. On the side I got a small bag of chips. Tomato is very juicy and the lettuce has greater flavor. Crispy bacon slices give the sandwich a real filling bite. For me a few slices of tomato turns it into a super BBLT. Cozy atmosphere. This place is very casual. From the sound system you will hear classic music. Nice and friendly staff. A treat that I love is a monster cookie which is placed in a nice plate. It is free for me. Did you try a BBLT from Corner Bakery Cafe? It is a simple sandwich but it is enjoyable to meat eaters and veggies alike. The combination of crisp bacon, juicy tomato, crunchy lettuce, and toasted bread. Served with bakery chips. Yum! read more

Like a morgue atmosphere, I bought a LG tea and they gave me one teeny tiny tea bag for a LG cup of hot water for nearly $3. I asked if I could have another bag of tea bc I demonstrated by putting the original small bag into my hot water and it barely made a difference. I was handed another teeny bag and heard "that'll be a$1.09."

Customer service and common courtesy still matter, especially toward regular customers, and this was a terrible way to treat someone who supports the business several days a week. I'm more than happy to walk the 100 yards across the street to businesses that actually appreciate their customers. This kind of petty policy and poor attitude is exactly what earns unsatisfactory reviews.

Stopped in for coffee and a snack; perfect place for a relaxing moment…read more Ordered an Americano, Naked Mocha, and Carrot zucchini bread. Coffee is fresh and hot; the carrot zucchini bread was fresh and tasty. Service was excellent, and both the outdoor and indoor dining areas were chilled, with tables available. Will make it a point to do a full dining experience in the future.

When no one was excited with any of the other options for birthday brunch and dinners are always…read morecomplicated for my family/extended family... Naked Cafe immediately popped into my brain! Everyone, especially my dad because it was his first experience (and he's picky) loved the food, coffee drinks and liquid therapy! The 6 adults (me included) easily finished the pitcher of mimosas, we chose the pomegranate lemonade. Don't even get me started on all the specialty coffees and teas that are amazing and come with art! Everyone loves tea or coffee in my family, my go to is the Blue planet because I love spuralina but I got the yummy Chaggaccino (see photo). My dad loved his espresso! My nephews have returned for the 3rd time and one has some dietary restrictions and was happy they both devoured the strawberry chocolate pancakes. I'm vegan and so happy this is a brunch place that has numerous options instead of 1-2 choices at most other establishments. Super happy with they use JustEgg to make an egg dish vegan friendly! I had the pesto quesadilla with black beans and rosemary potatoes, it was delicious. Can't remember our servers name but she easily a group 6 adults, an almost 15 yo and an 11 yo. She returned to the table several times to ask if we needed refills, another drink and how we were enjoying everything. I feel it was a victory for me that I got my parents hooked on this place and they both loved the food! I love taking people here! Than you Naked Cafe and staff for a wonderful birthday brunch yesterday !
