Burrito
Cassidy S.

This place was great, I went with a group of friends and we were all impressed with this place. The waitress and rest of the serving staff were great and attentive. The place was pretty busy but the service was quick. The food and the drinks were great and each latte/hot beverage comes with a cute design on top.

BACON AVOCADO  TOAST
Katherine S.

This place serves mediocre, flavorless food, but at least you feel healthy. Food: 2/5 Visually, the food looks great! But some things are dry, and you can really taste the carbs. We ordered the Bacon Avocado Toast and the Steak Medallion Tacos. The avocado was not ripe but edible. The steak and rosemary potatoes were dry. The toast slice is so thick that I couldn't bite and I could taste nothing but bread. The taco tortilla dominates all other flavors. It's not the worst place I've ever eaten at, but I wouldn't come back here for the food. Service: 4/5 Our server was very friendly and attentive! We were checked on a reasonable amount of times. Modifications are welcomed and honored. Atmosphere: 3.5/5 There is a cute patio area behind the restaurant. There is a chance the sun will high beam your table outside, and the staff are unable to move the umbrellas to cover you. The bathroom and restaurant are clean. I would recommend this place to vegans and health conscious people who eat to live instead of live to eat. Final Rating: 3.16/5 (rounding down to 3 on Yelp)

Salsa - delicious. Not the chunky style btw.
Steve Z.

5+ stars for their house made salsa! The food is great and healthy with low/lowish calorie options, but the salsa that comes with most entrees is amazing and worth it alone. Staff is friendly and great service too. Be sure to sit in outdoor area in the back which is very pleasant and surrounded by tall trees -- nicer with a shady spot, or one with good table umbrella coverage. By the way, you can buy a 12 oz container of salsa if they have enough for around $8. Best to check after their lunch crowd. ---------------------- NOTE: This review is entirely my own and written solely at my own initiative.

Yin & Yang Bowl
Kylie P.

Yum!! I don't know how I JUST came across Naked Cafe in Encinitas - I have been missing out! Great selection of breakfast/brunch items and a fun coffee/tea menu. The inside is cute too and staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered the Yin & Yang bowl + the Bacon Avocado toast with potatoes and both were an A+. I enjoyed them both but would happily branch out to try something else since so many other menu items looked good. Definitely worth a visit when in Encinitas. The location is unassuming but in a popular strip mall. Parking is easy and it wasn't busy when I visited on a weekday morning. Food was ready quickly and they happily accommodated a couple special requests we had. Will return when in the area!

Local artist decor

When I lived here in Cardiff and Encinitas, I used to eat here all the time. I wish there was one in Seal Beach or Long Beach! And when I lived in Hawaii, that's where it definitely is needed! It has always been a place where I would come to eat clean and healthy food. Fresh ingredients, tasty, great combinations. Who would've thought brown rice and veggies could ever make a great combo as a meal that you would pay for lol however, their sauces and mixtures and flavors really make their entrées so tasty... To the point that I always crave eating here. Flash forward, I'm in town visiting and as always, I stop in to order my favorite meal, the Dual Goddess, of course with extra peanut sauce on the side. It has zucchinis, brown rice, broccoli, carrots, and then small bite-sized (Note I said bite-size not big chunks) of ginger marinated steak and chicken. Dishes like these tend to have their protein cut so that you have to use a knife to cut them into smaller pieces... Not here! The flavors are so good and then add the peanut sauce... Chef's kiss! The cherry on top of my experience is the service. My server, Brittney, was so warm, friendly, and welcoming. She had a few tables ahead of me but acknowledged my presence so that I knew she would be with me when she had a chance. She was very accommodating and helpful in her recommendations... I ordered the pistachio latte, one of their summer specials, 10 out of 10! I ordered it hot. It was so delicious and they added a little sprinkle of Matcha on top. I am not a Matcha fan... At least not an entire cup of it. But sprinkled on top was perfect. It brought out the pistachio flavor yet offset it so it wasn't too heavy on pistachio! Everything was fabulous... Even down to the food runner, Reese. He was so friendly and efficient... This place is a 10 out of 10 and I will continue to come back and support this local business. If we had one in Seal Beach or Long Beach, I would be there every day... And I would be broke lol !

The most amazing slice of homemade pumpkin chocolate loaf. Thanks Sophie!
Ania K.

A locals favorite serving healthy and environmentally conscious breakfast, lunch, and handcrafted beverages. I found myself in this plaza and just needed an afternoon pick me up so I treated myself to a naked matcha latte. This drink ended up being one of the best matchas I've ever had and I couldn't stop staring at the beautiful palm tree latte art that was made out of cinnamon. My server was Sophie and everyone dining that day knows her. Clearly a favorite with all the locals. She brought me over a slice of their chocolate pumpkin loaf and said it was on the house. So sweet! I took it with me and enjoyed it at the beach later that day and again it ended up being one of the best loafs I've ever tried. Very moist, flavorful, and super chocolaty. Thank you so much Sophie and can't wait to see you again and this time dine-in.

Pumpkin chocolate bread
Kelly G.

The patio is such a find! Around the back, it's perfect for pups, kids, solo reading and groups. I love this place. The food is always so satisfying. The chocolate pumpkin bread is honestly the best thing I've ever eaten. Such a find! Support small businesses!!

Coffee
Rhondie B.

Amazing coffee and food! Took my family of 3 here and we all got different plates... even the gluten free pancake was delicious. I'm a vegetarian so I loved the wrap with vege sausage. Service was quick and the atmosphere is comfortable. I will definitely be back!! There is lots of parking and the option to sit inside or out on the cute back patio area.

Coconut French Toast (vegan version)
Mirna E.

Service was friendly. This is one of the few eateries with descent vegan options. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Hubby and I ordered the crunchy burritos and substituted the egg for tofu. I also ordered a side of the vegan coconut French toast which was pretty delicious. The burritos were good but small. I was glad I had ordered the side of vegan French toast. Hubby; however, felt the burritos were pretty small and still felt hungry. They came with a side of black beans and a small dollop of fried potatoes. My daughter had the kids vegan pancake and it was shaped like Mickey Mouse and came with a side of fruit. We also had a mocha latte with oat milk, sans the whip. It came with a few chocolate chips on the side but I'd didn't ask if they were vegan or not so we didn't consume them. The baby had little bits of everyone's food. Overall, I enjoyed the food and plan to return. We appreciated the vegan options.

Yin & Yang Bowl
Marissa M.

Stopped by for some brunch with friends! While the food was okay, the service was quite slow and they did not check on us to fill our waters or pay the check which was a bit bizarre. I got the yin and yang bowl which was alright, the top layer that had the jalapeños and sour cream was good but the rest of it lacked flavor and really tasted of potatoes and beans. However I liked that it came with a fresh tortilla. My boyfriend got the huevos rancheros and seemed to have the same problem with his food lacking any seasoning and flavor. Our friends seemed to enjoy their food and coffees. Overall we loved the various food options but the lack of flavor and poor service made the experience a bit weird. The workers didn't seem particularly socialable and again, they never checked on us so we were left with empty waters and waited for a significant time to pay our bill. Can't say I'd want to come back for brunch as the food resembled something We could make at home.

Toasted marshmallow mocha latte
Julia R.

Naked café continues to be one of my favorite spots! They always have such creative and yummy specials. If you want a healthy take on a lot of favorites , naked is the place to go. Service is quick, it actually took longer to make my coffee than my meal. Servers are friendly, and the back door patio is so cute! Fit with many heat lamps.

The seating was spacious and comfortable, and the service was great throughout. We tried the goat cheese & spinach quiche, summer salad, crème brûlée, and lemon meringue tart. The quiche was probably my favorite savory item -- super thick and fluffy with a generous piece of goat cheese on top, and the roasted potatoes on the side were really good too. The summer salad was fresh and loaded with smoked salmon, avocado, mango, and pistachios. Definitely save room for dessert. The crème brûlée had that perfect crunchy caramelized top, and the lemon meringue tart was really cute and had a nice balance of tart and sweet. I love the wide variety pastry selection and how pretty everything looks in the display case. Overall, a really nice breakfast spot -- good food, lots of space, great service, and no crazy Sunday morning wait when we went

I am always on the hunt for the best pastries around because after visiting Europe and having pastries there, nothing here in the US compares!

You can tell a lot of thought went into it, from the atmosphere and design to the way the coffee is presented. What I really appreciate about Necessity is that they take coffee seriously and to the next level. There's creativity behind what they're doing, but the coffee itself is still the focus. The flavors are intentional, the presentation is on point, and you can tell they care about every detail that goes into the final drink. The new space only adds to the experience. It feels like somewhere you actually want to hang out, enjoy your coffee, and take your time instead of just grabbing a drink and leaving. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and a concept that feels different from a lot of other shops in San Diego. If you're into specialty coffee and like trying something beyond your everyday latte, Necessity needs to be on your list. I'm already looking forward to coming back and seeing what they come up with next.

I went with the Coconut Cream Pie Latte, and this was such a good one. The coconut flavor actually comes through, but what really sold me was the real dried coconut on top. Such a simple detail, but it added the perfect little bit of texture and made the drink feel much more special.
