    $21 "Croque Madam"

    $21 for this "croque madame" in Encinitas...are you kidding me? No prices on the menu (red flag #1), and then this shows up: a single slice of bread, one piece of ham, one egg, and a handful of greens drowning in dressing to make it look like more food than it actually is. This isn't elevated brunch -- it's the bare minimum dressed up as something fancy. No béchamel, no real effort, no substance. Just a glorified open-faced ham & egg toast with a side of overpriced leaves. I don't mind paying for quality, but this felt straight-up deceptive. If you're charging $21, at least make it feel like a full dish -- not something I could throw together at home in 5 minutes. Great location and potential, sure. But value? Not even close.

    Yummy Gluten Free Lemon Cake with Pistachio chocolate coffee and lavender coffee!
    Nancy C.

    So many things to choose from on the menu. Wonderful Gluten Free selections and friendly service! We love this Cafe with all its unique delicious and healthy foods! And then there's the amazing coffee selection! We will return here often!!! It was a great experience!

    The food and bakery goods are fresh and delicious. There is also a nice selection of drinks but I had water. The service is quick and there is a quaint covered patio in the back with tables and chairs. There is also a bar area with bar stools to sit in the front of the store. There is street parking. I went on a Sunday and was able to park at the post office across the street.

    Omelette du Parisian ($16) and Cafe Pistachio ($6)
    Megan L.

    Corner bakery with lots of breakfast options and fun espresso options. + Omelette du Parisian ($16): ham, cheese omelette with a balsamic salad and buttered toast. Hefty omelette, panini-pressed toast, fresh greens = solid breakfast. (7.8/10) + Cafe Pistachio ($6): double shot espresso w rose, pistachio and oat milk. Asked for less rose, not overwhelmingly flavored or sweet! (8/10)

    Cafe area, cozy patio seating

    Pastries were amazing, coffee wouldn't be my next choice if I hangout Encinitas again, there are better coffee next doors. Service was weird, lady with no smile and didn't want explain the name of the white pastry. Nice spot for a short rest. Street parking.

    Le Dinde Sandwich
    Jessica R.

    OMG..... absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!! Cute cafe with one of the most delicious sandwiches I've ever tasted (Le Dinde Sandwich) Super friendly staff and the service was amazing, food was served shortly after sitting down. Very relaxing ambience. Can't wait to eat here again.

    La Nutella Crepe

    This place fills my heart with joy. Like seriously. One time i went on a hike by Swamis with my mom and I fainted.... after I woke up we went here because that's how much I love this place. The food is always delicious. The crepes are 10/10. I love the Nutella strawberry crepe. The savory ones are also the best

    Pastry and latte
    Christine M.

    Perfect find while saying in Encinitas. Glad I checked Yelp. Ordered a turkey sandwich on a baguette, with balsamic. It was delicious. Had a matcha latte and 2 pastries. I'll definitely be back.

    Prager Bros is one of these sneaky good bakeries that keeps it simple and nails it!…read more We began by buying their sourdough breads which, if you're like me, is just an excuse to eat butter. Ok, PB sourdough stands on it's own AND gives me every excuse to eat some more butter! Toasts up nice no matter what you like from a soft to burnt scale. But the sourdough was the gateway drug for me. It's impossible to go into the Prager Bros bake shops and avoid seeing something even more additive. For me, the almond croissant just sings the perfect duet with a good cup of coffee. They rotate in some scones that are equally tempting. The honey walnut, limited offering, was my favorite until they stopped making it. The seasonal scone (date and coconut) is more than a fine substitution. They serve baguette sandwiches that are crispy crunchy and delicious. Highly recommend them.....the danger is you won't be able to drive by one. Heck, you get hooked enough, when you get in your car your Waze may prompt you with the time and distance to Prager Bros. Could be worse I suppose! You're welcome!

Although I am more familiar with their location in Carlsbad, their baked goods appear to be of the same high quality here. We tried a chocolate croissant that was light, airy, and incredibly fresh and delicious. No seating inside or out but don't let that stop you from visiting this very good bakery. They don't have a huge selection but quality over quantity.

One less star for not telling me until afterwards that she charged me for the sauce. I might've paid for it anyway but thinking it was free when it was offered and not learning until later that it was an extra charge felt kind of sneaky. I would've described the fries as average. Points for serving Preston's Ginger Beer as well. For those who don't know, Preston's is a ginger beer store based in SD that sells inarguably the best ginger beer in the world. Dude has put his heart and soul into the craft of making clean, refreshing ginger beer and it's always a treat when I see a business carries Preston's. People complain about the small parking lot and location but I went for an early dinner (around 5:00 pm) and found there to be plentiful parking spaces in the small lot.

To start, the employees here are so sweet! There are so many seating options inside, outside, and even an additional seating area in a more quiet and secluded room. I was a little nervous that the wheat alternatives would be bland or dry and hard, but everything was delicious! I ordered the Veggie Lovers pizza with vegan mozzarella and ricotta on a paleo crust. I was pleasantly surprised by how soft and flavorful the crust was! The vegan cheeses were also exceptional and the entire pizza was cooked perfectly. The tortillas that they use for the tacos are good as well. Whether you are gluten-free, vegan, trying to eat healthier, or simply accompanying a friend, Nectarine Grove has something for everyone!
