    NAKED CAFE @ SOLANA BEACH Parking was super convenient, there's plenty of street parking, or you can park in their four-hour free customer lot, which is also available for beachgoers. I came on a Sunday and had no trouble finding a spot. Naked Café is literally right by the beach, about a two minute walk, which makes the location absolutely beautiful. I've been to their Carlsbad location before, so I was really excited to finally check this one out. At first glance, this location is definitely much smaller than the Carlsbad one. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, but since it was a bit chilly being right on the coast, I preferred sitting indoors. It was pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon, so we waited about 30 minutes, which honestly wasn't too bad. One thing I did notice, though, is that the trash and recycling bins are right next to the line and outdoor seating, which made sitting outside a little less pleasant. Once we were seated, the staff were super friendly and welcoming. I ordered their iconic pesto avocado toast, which is hands down my favorite. It comes with a side of rosemary potatoes, and they are to die fornot greasy or deep-fried, but a much healthier and flavorful alternative. I also love their chocolate strawberry pancakes. My boyfriend and I split them, two pancakes for about $10, which felt like a great deal. He ordered the Green Heart quesadilla, which was also really good. We added avocado for an additional $3, and he paired it with a kombucha. The food came out in about 10 minutes, which was impressive given how busy it was. The interior is super beachy, cozy, and cute, and overall the food is consistently delicious. Entrées range around $15-$18, which is very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. I'd highly recommend stopping by especially if you can sit indoors. I'll definitely be coming back again.

    healthy lunch and breakfast spots w wraps, bowls, salads and more. service was quick and staff were friendly. sat on the front and v nice ocean breeze. across from the beach. reasonable prices. we got the wrap w thai style tofu and an chicken pesto wrap.

    Dog menu

    Dog heaven and the human food is also delicious. We went on a Monday for lunch, and we were satiated. You can get fresh juice, and lots of healthy options, like Buff Burritos with egg whites that come with rosemary potatoes and black beans. The pancakes looked yummy, and our dog gave the scrambled eggs with chicken 4 paws up. Friendly service and beach breeze ambiance add to the experience. Very accommodating for dogs.

    Very close to the beach Cute, small cafe offering whole food options. Outside seating is dog friendly. Many GF, vegetarian, and vegan options Parking is street parking I got the brown butter latte that is on special for the holidays and the bacon avocado toast The coffee was very good and they were able to personalize it to decaf and whole milk The avocado toast was very generous portion came with one sunny side up egg, what appeared to be an entire avocado, and two slices of thick cut bacon. The pesto was very tasty. Comes with potatoes on the side that we're not to my liking. No texture and they had tomatoes in them, which I'm not a fan of. I did have the tomatoes removed off of the avocado toast. Staff were friendly and interactive, but not overbearing .

    I've been coming here for over 20 years and I love it. Can't beat the location, the food is tasty and always consistent, the employees are always kind and accommodating. Good vibes all around. My only complaint would be that the bathroom does not have a changing table for babies. But they just redid the inside and expanded their espresso bar so maybe a bathroom upgrade is next! My favorite items are the rising sun quesadilla, crispy breakfast burritos, coconut French toast and sesame ginger tacos.

    I discovered Naked Cafe today while I was out at Fletcher Cove Beach with my little one. I was craving a coffee and it was conveniently right there. There was nice outdoor seating which was amazing because the weather was beautiful and there's views of the beach from there too. I ordered my coffee (honey cinnamon latte) and decided to try the steak tenderloin hash. Both were so delicious! We came about half an hour before they close for the day but the server was kind and let us order and chill for a bit. It was a nice little spot in a good area with good food so I would return when I'm in the area again!

    Solstice Burritos
    Renee N.

    Breakfast is by far my most favorite meal of the day. I always wake up hungry as some people wake up craving their first cup of coffee. Just feed me please! I had this café bookmarked for the Encinitas location, but my good friend told me this location was more scenic. She was so right! We came on a weekday and it was busy but we wanted to sit outside and enjoy the view and we were lucky enough to get a table right away. There is also indoor dining available as well but when you are on the coast, you usually want to sit outside. The café is dog friendly so we had my friends dog with us. The view is so nice across the street from Fletcher Cove Park and then Boom! there is the ocean. We started out with the Daydreamer Mimosa - champagne, fresh squeezed lemonade and lavender and the Pink Lotus Mimosa - champagne, fresh squeezed lemonade and raspberry. Both drinks were very refreshing and brought a nice buzz to the morning. So many great choices on the menu to choose from but I decided on the Solstice Burritos. This was such a good choice. The burritos were filled with scrambled eggs, jack cheese, green onion, tomato, flour tortilla, I added avocado, side of beans and rosemary potatoes. I really loved my meal and drink. Everything tasted so fresh and I would love to dine here again to try more of their dishes. For our vegan friends, they also serve you with many scrumptious dishes. Our server Michael was so kind and he made sure we were well taken care of even bringing some water over for my friends' dog. Thank you Michael for your fantastic service. Parking is complimentary on the street where you can find it. It is mixed residential/commercial in this area. I am so glad we came here to start our weekend off right by dining on the shores of the west coast.

    KIDS PANCAKE

    Very cute cafe right across the street from Fletcher Cove (beach and playground). Large outdoor patio as well as a cozy indoor dining area. Good for groups or small parties and very kid friendly--excellent kid's menu! The food was tasty but I've been there a few times and it was a little inconsistent. Love that they have a wide variety of options and a lot of healthy ones (that still look and sound delicious) too. My main complaint is the bees. As I mentioned I've been there multiple times and there are a lot of bees or wasps) not sure which) on the patio. We moved indoors twice and one time they were even inside. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to harm or remove the bees, but it did detract from our dining experience. Regardless I will still come back because it's a great neighborhood spot!

    The Welcome plate without toast
    Wendy G.

    The pros are a fantastic location next to Fletcher Cove, great service, and edible food. The cons are the bathroom, menus etc... were dirty, and the food was not good, just edible. I had the Welcome plate without toast. It said it came with tomatoes and green onion. I think I had two cherry tomatoes in my potatoes and a 3" piece of green onion on the side. The potatoes were partially burned and chewy, and way oversalted. The scrambled eggs were fine. If I come back it will be for a drink and a view.

    Honey cinnamon latte
    Cindy P.

    Love this local brunch spot! It's right across from Fletcher's Cove beach. It has plenty of free parking spots, even on an Easter holiday weekend. The food was quick and oh so tasty! Michael, our server, was attentive but not too overbearing. He was very good about customizing my dish when I asked about replacing the pesto spread (due to a nut allergy). If you're looking for a casual beachy brunch spot, then get Naked right here! You won't regret it!

    Cool spot has a nice outside seating area and the food came out really quick, was a little smaller than I thought for the price but that's all subjective I guess. Tasted great

    We brought our three puppies to this dog friendly restaurant for brunch. If you don't mind sitting at this quaint spot, it's just a block away from the ocean. We ordered the endless summer tacos and the green & red pagoda along with a pomegranate and grapefruit juice and a cappuccino. The food was phenomenal and came to the table quick. The best tasting brown rice I've ever had. Tacos were amazing! Service didn't skip a beat! 5 stars! This is our new favorite for brunch!

    $17 for 2 mini burritos. You're paying for the views and 2oz of egg on a tortilla. Do not try the brown coconut rice, trust.

That was cool. The staff here are friendly and knowledgeable of their products. I ordered their Citrus Celery juice. For a celery juice, it was well balanced with flavors of orange, apple, grapes, and grapefruit. My fiancé ordered the beet root smoothie with the cacao chips. This was also good. A little bit on the sweet side especially for being beet based. But still very refreshing and also well balanced out with the cacao. The açaí bowl was the best I ever had. The presentation said it all. It was paired well with green apple, raspberries, bananas, walnuts, all the oats, maybe Nutella drizzle and coconut shavings with Greek yogurt. I was down for a second bowl. But it was very filling. Once again a perfect blend of everything. We also tried the avocado toast. I was happy to see that this dish came with more than just avocado and toast. They included an egg arugula, and a tomato. Nowadays, that is way more than what other cafes offer. I thought it was a good price for what you got.

The menu is a little bit different than I remember, but still focuses on fresh and healthy. The girl working at the front used to also work at the PB Location and she's very friendly and knowledgeable. She also gave us samples of the berry smoothie and the green juice to try. I went with the golden milk latte to drink, and it was fabulous. I did have them add a shot of espresso to it because when I was ordering a latte, I definitely was looking for caffeine. It's lovely with turmeric, cinnamon, oat milk, MCT oil and black pepper. I also ordered the Hot Chick salad. It came out looking gorgeous. The salad tasted really good, the chicken was seasoned nicely, and I liked the different textures with the rice, the quinoa and the roasted corn. The dressing was super tasty too. When I got towards the end of my salad, my last few pieces of avocado were bad. It wasn't a dealbreaker for my experience, but I would've definitely preferred that they would've left those pieces out. Also, the little toasted cracker things tasted like cardboard, dry and flavorless. I probably should've tried scooping up some of the salad with them, but I left them on the plate. Overall, I would definitely return to this location. You cannot beat them if you are looking for something fast, casual, and healthy. Definitely not on the cheap though, my salad and latte were $34 before tip, but I don't mind paying for good quality food that is fresh and healthy.

My family was vacationing in Encinitas and stumbled upon Claire's on Cedros on our first morning while searching for an early breakfast spot. Pancakes are usually not something I get excited about - I tend to think most restaurants use the same premade mixes from the same suppliers, resulting in pancakes that are ultimately forgettable. That changed the moment I tried a bite of the pancakes my daughter ordered. I was genuinely surprised to discover what may be some of the best pancakes I've ever had. Since then, Claire's has become a breakfast tradition whenever we're in the area. Buttermilk Pancakes (OG) - 5/5. These pancakes completely changed my expectations of what a pancake can be. What makes Claire's buttermilk pancakes stand out is their depth of flavor. They have a rich, buttery character and a subtle fermented tang that give them a distinctive personality. Add a little extra butter and real maple syrup, and the flavor reaches another level. The texture is equally impressive. Unlike many restaurant pancakes that are either soggy or overly dense, these strike a near-perfect balance. They hold their shape well while remaining tender and fluffy, with just the right amount of air pockets. They're substantial without being heavy and soft without falling apart. The finishing touch is a thin ring of golden-brown crispy edges that adds both texture and extra flavor to every bite. Seasonal Lemon Ricotta Pancakes - 4.5/5. Our server recommended the seasonal lemon ricotta pancakes, and I'm glad I gave them a try. They are every bit as well-executed as the original buttermilk pancakes, with a bright citrus flavor and a richer, creamier profile from the ricotta. While I still prefer the original buttermilk version for its subtle fermented tang, these are excellent in their own right and well worth ordering if they're available. Eggs Benedict with Crispy Parmesan Risotto & Honey-Cured Bacon - 4.5/5. Once I find a favorite dish, I have a habit of ordering it repeatedly - which was becoming a problem thanks to those buttermilk pancakes. On a return visit, I made a point of trying something different and was glad I did. The standout pairing here is the crispy hash browns. This is one of those dishes where the individual components really shine when eaten together. Combining the arugula, poached egg, hollandaise sauce, and crispy hash browns creates a wonderfully balanced bite. The hash browns contribute crunch, the egg and hollandaise provide rich creaminess, and the arugula adds freshness and brightness that keeps everything from feeling too heavy. It's a thoughtfully composed dish that delivers both flavor and texture. Drinks - okay. The juices, teas, and coffee were perfectly fine - nothing remarkable, but nothing to complain about either. They do their job and complement the food well. Here are my final Thoughts. I'm so glad we discovered Claire's on Cedros. It has given me a new benchmark for what great pancakes should taste like. Even as someone who never considered pancakes a favorite breakfast item, I find myself thinking about them long after the meal is over. If we're back in Encinitas or Solana Beach, Claire's will be one of our first stops. The pancakes alone are worth the visit.
