My friend and I wanted something a little healthier for dinner so we decided to try out goodonya. I got the "everything but the sink" salad and she got the Thai salad. Both were generous portions and had tons of fun yummy toppings. We also got a small order of the fries to share which we both liked. Our server was super sweet and helpful. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so you shouldn't have trouble finding a table. We wanted something a little sweet so stopped by the market after and grabbed one of their chocolate chip cookies which was the perfect end to our meal. read more

Mom and I shared the smashburger and fries and it was very good and juicy. Fries were good, didn't seem too greasy tasting. Good amount in the small size. I also got the iced mint coffee, very good, with almond milk. I appreciate that they asked my milk preference. Got a cookie and it was small but very good, reminded me of my grandmas cookie. Soft and not too sweet but tasty. My husband got the chicken pesto sandwich and fries and he is a tough critic, but he liked it. He also got the cookie, but he said it wasn't sweet enough for him. Staff was nice and we had a nice spot outside under the umbrella. Perfect SD day. Would like to go back! read more

Long wait, but worth it. My friend and I shared a couple items off the menu and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. We came here after doing and workout and although we ordered a decent amount of food, nothing felt too heavy. Lots of flavor and left feeling satisfied and pretty healthy. read more

Love this spot so much! All organic, grass fed and finished meats, well put together meals and friendly service all wrapped up in one. My partner and I both enjoyed our meals completely. I ordered the fried egg plate which comes with arugula, tomato and sweet potato hash. The flavor was just perfect! I didn't even need a sauce! I also picked up the bone broth with cilantro, turmeric and green onion added and that was so flavorful and delicious! My partner ordered the protein scramble which comes with pork sausage, grilled onion, mushrooms, cheddar and toast which he very much enjoyed. I had also ordered the strawberry matcha which was perfect too! Since it was raining and we had the pup we weren't allowed to sit inside, but it looked very comfy and cozy inside. The outside is always buzzing with energy too. Lots of space to sit and plenty of friendly servers around. They also have a gift shop with lots of goodies like snacks and local artist jewelry and cards. They even sell a couple cute plants on the wall. Definitely check out this place. Super cute and healthy, right up your alley I bet! read more

Great organic breakfast and lunch place. Incredibly fresh food and eggs that have deep flavor. The eggs are the star here- so fresh. Friendly and helpful staff. Menu has a nice variety. We had the vege scramble, breakfast burrito and the Baja scramble. Unfortunately they were out of chorizo for the Baja scramble and we had to substitute meats so it was just a scramble. The vege scramble was super fresh and they didn't overcook the spinach. Loved how they provided sliced avocado in the burrito! Tastes so much better than those that smash the avocado. What stands out here is the freshness of ingredients and depth of flavor for what you order. And A+ for giving sliced avocado. It's a cute location right on the 101 just a few steps away from Hansen's surf shop. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. My only criticism- it's a cashless restaurant but they didn't tell us that upfront. And, we didn't see the bill to check totals (and for hidden service charges), the waiter just shows you the total on a handheld screen. I'd prefer the screen to show the itemized bill before you ask for payment. I'll come back because the food is so fresh but just make sure you ask to see the itemized bill first! read more

Horrible with allergies. Just tell you there is cross contamination to remove responsibility of extra cleaning the environment.

Visited this weekend, looking for a healthy spot. Menu was bare. "Market" was small. And they push an agenda on their credit card terminals. How about just let us eat, and leave us alone? read more

Definitely worth the walk! After a few hours of moonlight May beach fun- I needed hot healthy vidals. So I tried protein matcha, egg and sausage with side of spicy sauerkraut/Dam good! read more

Amazing burgers and even better pastries! the pudding, the pecan bars omg. You can really taste the difference in quality and the love put into each product. I work across the street and this is definitely my favorite go-to spot for local good clean eating! read more

My sister and her husband are huge into organic and healthy food, and he is allergic to about everything these days so the menu here accommodated all their restraints. Nice inside and outside seating is great for people and car watching. We had their smash burgers and tallow fries. Fries: maybe the best I've had recently, I mean deadly good BUT, they brought them out 10 minutes before the burgers. The burgers were good....worth $18 each, not imho. Service was super slow and it was 1 pm on a Friday and by the time we ordered most of the lunch crowd had left. Draw your own conclusions. read more

I shit myself twice surfing Cardiff after attempting to eat the Gyro wrap. Hear me out. I don't leave bad reviews. But this was insane. I took the first bite and couldn't even process what kind of meat I was eating. It tasted like it had been put in a freezer for 2 years after already being spoiled. Took another bite to confirm. I couldn't even give it to my dog I didn't wanna risk it on him. Paddled out for a surf and yeah.. sorry guys but that was gnarly read more

I made a Yelp account just to rank them and this'll likely be the only ranking I'll ever do because frankly I've never had such poor service. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. I realize so many reviews are highly emotional and sensationalized reactions, but this is not one of those reviews. I waited 40 minutes and after that they gave me a refund without any food or any other sort of compensation for waiting (see the "VOIDED" on the screenshot of my receipt) after not starting my order at all because their kitchen is "a disaster" (their words, not mine). Do you really want to eat somewhere where their own staff says this about the kitchen? I love the mission but the service is unacceptable. Support any other local business and avoid. EDIT: Kyle, the owner, replied to my comment to apologize, then quickly deleted his response, likely realizing how bad it looked to agree with my comment. I just want anyone deciding where to spend their hard-earned money to consider this: cooking your own meals lets you enjoy food free from the toxins and questionable ingredients found in virtually every restaurant... including, it seems, theirs. read more

Came for dinner this past weekend with a couple of friends. I had the banh mi vegan sandwich, which was very good and literally my only option as a mainly plant-based eater. I was really disappointed on how limited my options were. Everything is fried in tallow, all the sides including the falafel and churros! So, no sides for me except for a side salad, which I just couldn't get excited about. And I had the fun of watching my friends eat fries, which normally wouldn't be a problem. read more

Happy new year! If you're looking for a spot to keep up with your healthy eating resolutions, Goodonya has plenty of delicious and nourishing options. Their Thai salad was delicious, and the dressing they rave about really is THAT good. If your resolutions are around budgeting, then maybe make this an occasional treat as it's not cheap. But good food that's convenient rarely is. Cheers to a healthier new year! read more

Glad I got to finally try this spot! Parking was a bit of a struggle to find on a Friday night but not too bad. Now onto the food! Elk cheeseburger: 5/10 I was so excited to try it but the meat was dry and had no seasoning at all. The bun was extremely dry and crumbly. The only thing saving this burger was the thin slice of cheese and small amount of sauce on it. It was a good portion but wayyy overpriced. Smash Burger: 8/10 It was juicy and flavorful but not nearly as big for the price. Tallow fries: 6/10 They failed to meet my expectations. Tasted like regular fries. They were soft and on the soggy side. Great service, everyone was friendly but order took a long time to be ready. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this spot and wouldn't return. Food: 6/10 Service: 8/10 read more

GOODONYA Organic Eatery - Sit outside, it's awesome! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

I found the staff to be rude and unprofessional. Not the vibes you would expect at an organic eatery. - The food itself is nothing special. Not memorable or particularly tasty. - The pricing is high and I would mind it if the staff was kind and the food was delicious. But that is not the case. read more

This is a simple restaurant with a simple menu; it's nothing I cannot make myself at home. However, it was nice to visit while catching up with a friend. I ordered the Fried egg plate; the eggs were a perfect over-easy and I wasn't sure what "sweet potato hash" would look like, but I wasn't at all impressed (see photo). Everything was clean and fresh though. We dined on the patio, which was lovely. There's plenty of seating indoor and out, and the tables are spaced nicely apart. People-watching and seeing the city slowly wake up would have been awesome except for the high number of homeless wandering about. We came on a not-busy Tuesday morning, and service was not rushed. I would probably come back if friends want to visit but I would much rather go to Peace Pies for lunch to be honest. Pros: - walkable location - fresh ingredients, small menu - lunch available all day - Cons: - parking sucks (go to the transit center) - a bit pricey read more

Just overpaid for this dry eggy excuse of "pancakes" through DoorDash. How is this 81% liked on DoorDash? They didn't give me enough butter and these barely slide down my esophagus it's like trying to eat a Brillo pad. Also tastes like eggs with vanilla extract added. My first experience with Goodonya and definitely NOT impressed. read more

Pleasant service, nice outdoor dining, we all loved our food. The wraps and bowls are terrific. Arrive early for good lunch seating.

Burger and fries with tax and tip was $32 so I went in with pretty high expectations. So, I order at the counter and tell the person at the register I'm going to be dining in and want 2 kinds of sauce. I told them where I would be sitting and they said they bring the food out when it was ready. 20 minutes in and I go to check on the food and they said it'd be out soon and they'd bring it to the table. 45 minutes in, I went to check again. My food was sitting in a to go bag behind the counter. The meal was served with the wrong king of sauce and the fries were more like tough mashed potatoes than fries. The burger was good, but pretty small. Like a 4oz patty. read more

Looking for a lunch spot with outdoor seating and parking that is healthy? Definitely try Goodonya. I met a friend who is cycling down, and we were meeting for lunch. So we wanted someplace that had outdoor seating and parking so we could watch the car as her bike was on the back of the car. This is located right on the street plenty of street parking. Although this is Encinita so parking can be a little bit tricky especially at lunchtime. Lots of healthy options for lunch, and they have a little market or you can buy some interesting items. Very good service, it was crowded, but they have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Lively crowd, dog, friendly, definitely an open air feel. We will be back read more

I ordered food from here, mediocre at best. They claim to be organic but what does that mean exactly? They have a corn dog on their menu. So if I deep fry an organic sock made of 100% cotton, you'd sell it on your menu as a healthy alternative? I'm sick & tired of people/places like this who think the sun rises & sets because something is organic. Please take your stuck up nose out of the air & clean the granola out of it while you're at it. Buyer beware of this place and places who think organic = healthy. read more

High quality food, appropriate serving sizes, nice options. Super dog friendly. Friendly staff. Service on a busy Sunday can be slow. I'm a little worried about what the mugs are made out of as they are super hot to the touch. read more

Wooo! I'm on a review roll! Just reviewed Tsuruhashi in FV and came out here with a friend to try this place out after our workout! It is located on a busy street in Encinitas so expect parking to be a little bit difficult on weekends. Place does get busy as well so expect a wait. They can accommodate bigger parties as well but mainly outside. They do have a patio for outdoor seating incase you have a dog as well! We were quoted about a 25 minute wait for a party of 2 on a Sunday at 12:30pm. It did take about that time as well! We sat down and began to look at the menu. 100% organic as it is touted but the main dish that interested me was the protein scramble! I also ordered a iced vanilla mint as a beverage. My friend ordered a cashew vanilla latte and when our drinks came out we did ask our server for sugar. He took a long while and mind you the place is pretty busy so when the hostess came by we asked for sugar again and she forgot as well. Finally when our food did come out, our sugar came as well. Little bit of a fumble but recovered fine haha. The protein scramble consists of eggs, sausage, cheddar, mushroom. It is also served with sourdough toast and butter as well. Alone, the scramble tasted fine! But I would really suggest you add some hot sauce on it because it does enhance the flavors way more! My favorite though was my iced vanilla mint latte! The mint accentuated the vanilla taste which was definitely refreshing to drink. Definitely order this if you come here and you are a coffee drinker! Overall, this place is good. It was around $20 for my meal and it is a good amount of food and beverage for what you pay for. A little fumble on the service but that can always be fixed and worked on. I would say this place is solid though. Me and my friend wished we sat outside too in that really nice outdoor patio too! read more

Gyro wrap was even better than I expected. Had a 20 min wait for a table around noon on a Sunday. Parking can be a challenge. Service was friendly and efficient. I like that they have both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a bit pricey, but I didn't feel heavy after finishing my meal here. I'll come back for sure. read more

Went there last Saturday for a bite in early afternoon. What was stated to be a 30 minute wait turned into 90 minutes. Don't know why we stayed. After sitting down we quickly ordered a couple of sandwich's. No apologies from staff about the long wait. Another half hour wait. What we got were average sandwich's. Nothing to write home about and 1 of them was ver small. The sandwiches came with nothing - not chips, pickle, cold slaw, fries, side salad. NOTHING. It cost me $45 with tip. Imagine that. Should have never stayed. read more

We used to be regulars at GOODONYA but moved away to the Monterey peninsula over 5 years ago. Recently we returned for a visit to Encinitas and GOODONYA was one of the first places we visited. It has been sorely missed. The food is always most excellent being very tasty and healthy. The place has a great menu with something for everyone. Friendly, fast service is their hallmark and the atmosphere is pleasantly casual. I just love this place. There is none better! read more

Who on earth doesn't have WiFi in California in 2025? Came here today to grab a drink and some food and get some work done....AFTER I ordered they told me there was no WiFi so I had to pack up my computer and leave bc surprise surprise most humans need WiFi in 2025. Also, the food is nothing to write home about. They got 3 stars bc the drinks are great and the aesthetics are great and the staff is very nice. I'd love to be able to sit in the back, have a drink, get some sun and get my work done but....they don't have WiFi read more

Disappointing first time took a total 1 1/2 to get seated and served- overheard oh yeh we are short in the kitchen had we been aware would've left - we were quoted 30 minute saw open tables with no one seated at them. Had the tuna and pastrami sandwich. The tuna a good portion husband thought it was good. The pastrami while good was skimpy portion. No fruit salad chips pickle or any such side no drinks 45.00 with tip. Won't return don't waste your time read more

Big fan of Goodonya and all the local and high quality ingredients they use like pasture raised chicken. The food and service are great. The drinks are really solid too! read more

Huge fan of the food here. The dishes I've had relatively simple and straightforward but what they do, they do well. They use great ingredients and they're packed full of flavor. It does take some time to get food, but I feel like it's worth the wait. I have yet to have a dish that I haven't liked here. So far, the Baja scramble was a big crowd pleaser the first time I came here- all three of us ordered it and liked it. The second time I was feeling a scrambled egg sandwich, and I loved that the bread came grilled like a grilled cheese. My server directed me toward the beef chorizo and I was real happy with that addon. Will definitely be back, hopefully sooner than later! read more

Maybe a hot take but there's definitely way better options in this area. It's nice that everything is supposedly organic and relatively healthy but the menu isn't anything special, and it's pricey for the portion sizes (probably because it's all organic lol). The service is pretty slow, and at times it felt like our waitress forgot about our table completely. I personally wouldn't come back after trying it once. read more

Delicious and wonderful service! I definitely recommend this business! It is off the beaten path but worth a trip!

So so so yummy!!!! The service was great and the salad was TO DIE FORRRRR! They even let us stay past close a little bit to keep chatting!
