I love to come here for breakfast! Not only is the food delicious but the service is good and the location is perfect. They have the best coffee in town and their coconut French toast is to die for. They offer indoor and outdoor seating and are dog friendly. read more

I really enjoy coming to Naked Cafe -- the food is always fresh and delicious, and the service is consistently friendly and welcoming. It's one of my favorite spots because the staff always make you feel taken care of, and the quality of the meals keeps me coming back. Unfortunately, during my last visit there was a homeless man who came inside with feces on his shoes, and the smell was extremely strong. I truly feel bad for the situation he's in, but it made the environment really difficult to sit in and ended up making us lose our appetite. We actually had to leave because of it. I hope this can be handled in a compassionate but practical way so customers can continue to enjoy the great food and service that Naked Cafe provides. read more

I came here with a friend on a Sunday for lunch. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and we chose to sit outside. We were seated right away. Not the most comfortable seats. Service was quick and friendly. I really appreciated that they have a mix of vegan and non-vegan options. I ordered the Wok Bowl and added marinated grilled chicken. The bowl came out hot with fresh ingredients and tasted delicious. Only ingredient I was not a fan of was the lotus roots. The chicken was cooked perfectly - tender, flavorful, and a great addition to the dish. Overall, a great lunch spot and I'd definitely come back. read more

NAKED CAFE @ CARLSBAD My boyfriend raves about this place so many times, and I mean so much that he brought me here to try! We got seated fairly quickly on a sunday morning, and it was pretty busy, but they have tables inside and outside. We ended up getting lots of things, the Green Heart Quesadilla, Bacon & Avocado Toast, Strawberry Chocolate Chips Pancakes, and a large Hot Cocoa. I have no words, because this has fully turned me into a breakfast person, because I need this every day! Each dish was so delicious, I really enjoy the Bacon and Avocado toast, as it was smeared with this delicious pesto spread, and had potatoes on the side. The crunchy bacon was fantastic, and having the sweet strawberry chocolate chip pancakes were fantastic. I wish there was a bit more strawberry in the pancakes however. The hot cocoa is a MUST, if you're a fan, it's a huge cup that looks like it's over the top full, and with a large amount of whip cream, it just melts in your mouth. I also tried my boyfriend Green Heart Quesadilla and WOW, this was fantastic as well, also has that creamy pesto spread in it. Overall, we really enjoyed the environment, the waiter was kind, and the art around the store was pleasant to see of artists (the art is also for sale!) Parking is a massacre, it's a large complex with limited room, so I'd definitely recommend doing street parking or just be aware you might be waiting! read more

"Naked in the rain with black tattoos Runnin' through the woods laughing at the blues" (Red Hot Chili Peppers) The Naked Café offers an amazing menu of healthy foods, grains, robust herbs and spices, and fresh produce reimagined into fantastic dishes. They have six pancake dishes that include bananas, almonds, raisins, granola, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, coconut, mangos, and chocolate chips. Burritos, egg dishes, quesadillas, hash, French toast, soups, wraps, bowls, and tacos also appear on the menu. We stopped in for lunch, sat on their outdoor terrace, and ordered the Fuzzy Monkey Pancakes ($12.50 for three) and a Wok Bowl with Tofu ($14.50 + $3.50). The pancakes were great, loaded with sliced bananas, almonds, raisins, and granola. The bottle of agave syrup on the table really enhanced the sweetness of the pancakes. My Wok Bowl was fantastic. Imagine a big bowl of brown rice, broccoli, zucchini, lotus root, carrots, celery, striped beets, glazed shiitake mushrooms, and a sesame ginger dressing. I added some tofu cubes as an add-on. The flavor was so good, and all of the ingredients really worked well together. I liked the Bohemian - hippie vibe of the place and some of the far out spacey names of their dishes - like Tree Hugger Pancakes, Good Karma, Plate of Prosperity, Rising Sun Quesadilla, and Solstice Burritos. This was a solid lunch stop for us. read more

I really enjoyed my brunch here today! It was pretty busy but they had some empty tables outdoor and indoor. We decided to opt for indoor seating and I loved the ocean aesthetic/inviting ambiance inside. However, we ended up waiting over twenty minutes for our food. The Naked Cafe has lots of healthy and gluten-free options to choose from :) I ordered the buff burrito and it was so delicious. I wish they gave me more potatoes though. read more

It's been awhile since I've been here. Everyone is pretty nice, especially the one who served me. I got a Togo order. I got the sunshine latte, which was super tasty and refreshing. I also got the Thai chicken wrap with a salad & salsa. It was surprisingly really good. Idk why I thought I wouldn't like it. I have a hard time making decisions sometimes and I like to try new food. They have plenty of tables inside & outside. I think they are still very busy in the mornings. I remember having to wait to have breakfast the last time I was here. Always a good and delicious time here. read more

Such a cute cozy place! We sat outside and enjoyed people watching along with the fresh sea breeze. Our waitress was very attentive even though we were outside.

Always enjoy our visits to Naked Cafe. From the ambience, to the wide range of menu items to the friendly and attentive service, it is always a pleasure. Our party of three arrived mid-morning on a Saturday and were immediately seated inside. We received our drinks quickly, had a lag before our order was taken and then received our food very quickly. Our server was fin, friendly and helpful. While waiting, we loved the fresh air and view of Solana's Fletcher Park across the street. Amazing location. Our entrees were all delicious. We love the vegetarian and vegan choices with options to add protein that's animal-based. Baked Cafe is a Solana Beach foundational restaurant for a good reason; they know how to please the palettes of their guests. read more

This place was sooo good and made me feel so refreshed after- me and my friends loved every dish. The coffee/matcha were also so high quality and amazing!! Shoutout to Arianna for being such a sweet server! read more

The restaurant is in a nice little shopping center, but the overall experience didn't live up to the price or expectations. I ordered the crispy vegan burrito, it came with two burritos, but one was noticeably smaller than the other. The flavor was just okay. I also got a side of potatoes, which were completely bland and unseasoned. My boyfriend ordered the same burrito but asked for chips and salsa instead of potatoes. He only received the salsa that comes with the burrito, so it was unclear if they forgot or that's just how they serve it. We were told the food would be ready in 10-15 minutes, so we left and came back after 10. When we returned, we had to wait another 5 minutes, even though I saw our bag had already been sitting there when we arrived. I also ordered pancakes, but they never made it into the order seemed like they were just ignored entirely. Since it was a to-go order, we didn't notice until we left, and by then it didn't feel worth going back. Between the high prices, small portions, bland sides, and order issues, it just wasn't worth it. Probably wouldn't return. read more

Fantastic place for breakfast and lunch - super menu choices for vegetarians, vegans and normies. Seating outside makes for an excellent ambiance and the service is top notch ( if you're lucky Coral will serve you ) - The coffee and tea choices are best of class - I visit Carlsbad 6 weeks a year and it's our go to place read more

The ambiance is great, we sat outdoor and there's a patio table umbrella so it wasn't too hot. The food is 3.5/5. I like the steak tenderloin, it is soft and cooked well. However the buff burrito is not that good as the chicken in it is bland and not seasoned well. I ordered the naked matcha latte hot and it's pretty smooth and sweet. It is on the sweeter side. Host service is great but our server is a little bit rude, kinda rushing us to pay maybe it's a busy weekend. Other than that the vibes are good and a good place to enjoy with family and friends! I think it's a good place to try. read more

Came here for breakfast a few times with friends visiting who are Vegan and the dishes did not disappoint! I will be ordering the veganized version of the Ying Yang bowl (add vegan eggs and chorizo too!) when I come here from now on. They also have a list of delicious coffees, matches and hot drinks, I tried the caramel hot apple cider and it tasted like fall. One of my fave fall treats. Also tried waffles and fruit and whipped cream (vegan) and scrambled vegan eggs. Although both of those are not normally my go to, despite my sweet tooth it's rare I like a sweet breakfast, they were tasty! Service was thoughtful, quick and friendly. Parking lot nearby and a great open greenspace to admire or let the kiddos run around in. read more

Loved the Naked Cafe! I had some friends visiting this weekend and with them being vegan, we found this place on Yelp as a good place with vegan options and let me tell you; it didn't disappoint! The setting is beautiful; the Carlsbad Village Center with a central fountain for little ones to play around in; super family friendly! The menu had a lot of options. I had a mocha (which was delish and perfect balance of sweetness without being overly sweet and a great caffeine profile). We then shared the coconut pancakes which were rich on the coconut with great flavors and then we got a assortment of scramble which we could add on vegan egg + sausage to which was absolutely delightful as well. Service was great, friendly, and prompt without being over the top. Will definitely come back here! read more

As usual Naked Cafe was incredible this year. We talk about coming back to eat here when on vacation all year long. We came on a Sunday morning and the service was still incredible, we've never not once had an issue with their service. Food and drinks were all great again from sweet vanilla chai to different iced teas, blueberry pancakes huevos rancheros etc, we are never disappointed and always come back and leave happy! read more

Naked Cafe - Golden Fairy Dust Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Yum! This is the best breakfast place ever. So healthy and lots of fresh options. They have brown rice and for a whole grain carb source which is in line with my diet. They have steak and eggs for my husband as well which is what he loves. Love that they have black beans which are high in antioxidants. I just love that the food tastes great and is also good for you. They have brown environment is comfy. I will say though the chairs are large and metal and make a loud sound as you drag it to pull your chair out. Not a pleasant sound. Their service is excellent though the tip default is 20% and up which I personally think is high. I typically do 15% so I have to do the calculations myself but it would be nice if they set that as default option. read more

Great service, no complaints about the food (most food in this area is kind of weak) also their bacon avocado toast is very good! Great drink selection between coffee and mimosa type drinks. Diner style place in a strip mall not the best location but once you get in it's nice! read more

Fabulous service! The people were friendly, helpful and fun! The food was amazing. I had the PB banana smoothie with greens and protein powder. My friend had a rice bowl with steak and it was amazing. The Chagacino was amazing. My friend had the chai and it was phenomenal. The whole experience was fantastic. We sat outside and it gets a little chilly in the shade so come prepared or sit inside. There was a live musician in the courtyard which was lovely. Highly recommend!! read more

Naked Cafe - Chagacino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carlsbad, California

My son's eyebrows lifted perceptibly when I mentioned the name of the restaurant. All the servers, however, were fully clothed and the place was jumping! Despite that we were promptly seated. Mimosas hit the spot. He ordered the Chocolate Strawberry Pancakes (again) but his plate was soon naked, although with a maple syrup veneer. My wife ordered the Bacon Avacado Toast with extra crispy egg whites - which they sure delivered! I ordered the Green and Red Pagoda, a dish which featured a side salad. It felt healthy. Everything was delicious, and our server was cheerful and attentive despite having her hands full. A great healthy option for breakfast in Carlsbad; just don't expect THAT kind of show! read more

We've been to several of the Naked Cafe locations and so we decided to try the Carlsbad one when nearby...as usual, it didn't disappoint. Here is what stood out to me: - Fun, special drinks to start...I especailly liked the coconut latte. - Food, as always, was excellent. I got the Green & Red Pagoda this time and devoured every inch of it. - Service was great, and the atmosphere outdoors was really pleasant. Bottom line: Great brunch spot...highly recommended! read more

Loved this sport during our visit to the area. The food was amazing for everyone in our party those with dietary restrictions loved the wide range of items and this without any loved how good healthy food could taste. The GF pancakes cannot be missed! Service was super quick and friendly. Our server Ash was super knowledgeable and made recommendations. The restaurant is in a super cute courtyard and you can choose to sit indoors or outdoors. read more

This place was great. Lots of breakfast and brunch food and drink options. With indoor and outdoor seating. I got an Americano and the Buff Burrito. Really got me thinking about Buff Bagwell in his prime. Google him if you don't know who he is. Or maybe don't. Anyways, both the coffee and food were perfect. I was here with a large group and everyone enjoyed their food. The service was ok. The team did try hard, but things were a little disorganized and a few of our orders were incorrect or came out later. Would definitely come again as this place was perfect for kids and pets, with the great patio seating. read more

The overall experience was amazing. If you are looking for top quality customized coffees or teas, and an amazing breakfast, come here! The village is awesome, a few blocks from the coast, and the people are nice. Great for organic as well! read more

Wonderful tasty healthy food! They use good oils (avocado/olive/sesame oil) no bad seed oils. We got the berry pancakes and Wok bowl with added tofu. Beautiful dishes and great portion sizes. Loved all the veggies and tasty tofu in the wok; veggies were cooked perfectly. Lots of blueberries in pancakes and very fluffy. We also got the matcha latte and blue earth latte which were perfect and not too sweet. Great location and service! Many dishes made from scratch and they use organic in a lot of their drinks/dishes. read more

Love love love this place! The food is phenomenal at all of their locations, but this one specifically is just so cute and whimsical. We sat outside and the weather was perfect.

Mimosas are so yummy, too. Naked Cafe is a must visit! read more

I've eaten here for years. It's a great spot to meet if you have omnivorous AND vegan/vegetarian dining companions. I love their pancakes. I love the Goddess Wrap (personal preference: no shiitake mushrooms, tortilla on the side). Scrambles/bowls are yummy. You can tell it's quality ingredients. I work across the street and when I'm feeling low calorie, I grab their peanut butter banana smoothie (peanut butter, bananas, honey, soy milk; although they have other dairy alternatives). Thanks Naked Cafe!!!!!!!! read more

We do frequent breakfast meetings here and it is the perfect spot for my gluten-free co-worker. They don't even bat an eye at her diet restrictions and every answer is "yes" we can do that. Service is very friendly, albeit a bit slow at times. It seems to be the layed-back atmosphere though so they are probably more used to the relaxed locals than those needing to get to work. The food is great. You can't go wrong with the coconut french toast, and the buff burrito, but the Yin and Yang is amazing. We haven't done lunch yet but if breakfast is any indication, we'll be there soon! read more

Awwww Carlsbad...ocean beach, walkable town, great eateries! This little gem has a great patio to soak up the sun, or seating indoors when an early am breakfast is too cold to sit out. Lots of choices for drinks. I opted for the matcha mocha. I like that they serve quality ingredients for their espresso, and Ghirardelli chocolate. Ask for a bit hotter temp for their espresso drinks- mine was not hot enough. I'll know next time! We split the artichoke, pesto, quesadillas. Yum! Served with their yummy potatoes, mixed green salad, and salsa. Portions are a perfect side to split so you can order more sides! Laid back atmosphere, and friendly service. Extra points for serving their French Press in a stainless steel pot! That drink was served at the perfect temp! read more
