We love going to nectarine grove as one of our regular restaurants, but today was a big letdown. It was a busy Saturday morning, but it took an extremely long time for our food to come out. When it did arrive, it was completely cold. My pancakes were raw in the middle, and both had to be remade. One worker was apologetic, but another worker and the manager were very curt and lacked customer service. They were not apologetic or warm by any means. We did get the pancakes refunded and remade, but at that point it had been so long we were ready to go. read more

I wish they had a spot like this in my area! The world needs more health conscious restaurants. It was a Sunday, and it was very busy. I came in and ordered food to go. Although it was very busy, our food came out pretty promptly! At the time, I was doing keto and they had a lot of keto options to choose from, including a keto pastry that I was so excited to find! We got the eggs Benedict, which was excellent, and the protein plate, which was great, as well. The keto pastry was delectable! We each got a butter coffee, but I don't remember which ones. Those were also delicious! I will definitely make it a point to stop back whenever we are in the area! Very cute little restaurant with lots of outdoor seating! read more

Came here for a July 4th breakfast around ~10am with the girlfriend and pup. The line wasn't too long and we got our order in relatively quickly. The outdoor space was plentiful, and well shaded from the beating sun. The matcha latte and oat milk vanilla latte were impeccably smooth, and worth the 15 minutes it took to make. Sadly, the rest of our meal - which arrived ~10 minutes after our lattes - did not match the appeal of the lattes as the protein platter came with an already fragmented overcooked yolk and an overdone set of bacon strips. The sweet potatoes and spinach were fair. The breakfast burrito was sad, coming both cold and lacking significant flavor, resembling something that could be made at home. TLDR. Would come back for the drinks and the drinks alone. read more

Nectarine Grove. It's hard to find parking lots. There is a parking lot but you will have to cross two roads to get to the restaurant. My mom in law and I took an Uber there. You would have to queue up to order and once you're done, you have to collect your own drink and bring to the table. The food is delivered 6 table. You get a little queue wooden number to place on your table. It is free seating. They have seating inside and outside Inside you can choose between regular tables and high tables ( mainly around the coffee bar area). You can get your own glasses of water- no ice And also cutlery. It is a very chill vibe. For sauces, there is a little table outside for sauces. The variety are hot sauces, ketchup and mustard. There are also paper towels u can grab at those stations. The patio area is dog friendly. And there is fake turf for the dogs to lay on. This is a very cool place to hang out on a weekend! Love the chill vibe!! read more

Really enjoyed the vibe of Nectarine Grove. Super nice staff. A ton of options for people trying to avoid gluten or dairy. I liked my Turkey & Avo, even though it looked a bit out of the ordinary. The sandwich had two slices of turkey, one thinnish and with a very thick cut. The paleo baguette was easy to bite through, but didn't seem to have much substance. I ate the entire sandwich and was pleased. The sandwich was served with a small salad. read more

As someone who struggles to find delicious gluten-free and clean food, I have absolutely loved stumbling across nectarine Grove. They have so many different option options and all things that I can eat and I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every meal that I have ate here. I will say I'm not the biggest fan of how fried their chicken tenders and french fries are however it's very delicious Their barbecue sauce is so yummy! I'm obsessed with their pizzas and coffee! There is tons of seating options inside and out every time I've been there has been a line outdoor and service is fairly quickly! I haven't had any real interactions with Staff however we always have received our food fairly quickly and never had any issues there. read more

Matcha was fine! I actually LOVED my breakfast tacos, but my mom's falafel tacos were straight up bad. Such a stark contrast between our orders. Line was super long for weekend brunch (maybe can't be helped) and I feel like their counter service wasn't super efficient. read more

Lost my interest in this place over the years. I just don't want to afford it anymore. Baked goods are outrageous in cost but good. Coffee is not very good, sorry. Food is still above average but again, I can't see spending as much as we do for three people eating here. It gets a bit cray. read more

I'm hitting this one with a 5 star review!!! This is a great lunch and coffee spot. Plenty of outdoor seating so you can bring your dog. You order at a counter and then sit down. They had a plethora of gluten, vegan, and dairy free options. What we got: - turkey avocado sandwhich (I surprisingly loved this!!) - classic with some amazing gluten free bread. - Cali club - bacon was good! Note : sanwhiches do get messy and fall apart. French fry sides were delishhhh! Will be back here when visiting Encinitas! read more

Came for brunch on a Sunday and it was popping! There are tables inside as well as ample seating outside. You order with the cashier and take your number to a table. The service was decent and relatively fast for a busy Sunday. Several people in our group ended up getting the steak chimichurri bowl with brown rice. It was very filling and light, definitely the healthy reset I needed after a long week of late nights and snacking. I also got a matcha latte with oat milk and it was very good. Good matcha flavor and not just green oat milk. The atmosphere was lively and since we sat outdoors it wasn't too loud. Definitely would come back next time I'm in San Diego! read more

Appreciate all of the gluten free options, the English muffin was very good. Like a biscuit but everything else was mid. Cinnamon roll was very stiff. There are much better gf ones out there. The cold brew was watery and not very caffeinated. I needed a Starbucks after unfortunately. I ordered the eggs Benedict and the eggs were not poached or even over medium. They were over hard (see photo). I've never had a Benny that way but the runny yolks is the best part of the dish usually! The potatoes are pretty basic. Bacon was good. Would maybe return to buy bread. That's it. Best part was the dogs! read more

Stopped by for a quick min, it's always packed so have it a chance. Wow! I ordered the apple spice coffee cake and it was delicious! My daughter thinks it's dry, but I thought it was delicious! So delicious, I went back for a second piece for home. I eat limited items and these were all ok minus the coconut sugar. I figured I'd take a chance and it was great! Full of flavor and hit the spot. She also ordered the "The best pesto pizza and added pepperoni. I tried a slice and again, great!!! I usually stick with cauliflower pizza but this GF was just as delicious! I will definitely stop by as a lot of their products are healthier and right up my alley! Thank you! read more

Embarrassingly Bad Breakfast I don't write reviews often, but Nectarine Grove earned this one. I ordered the eggs Benedict and I genuinely don't know how you mess that up this badly. The English muffin tasted like it had been found in the trunk of a car--stale, dry, and borderline inedible. Absolutely zero freshness. I also asked for extra crispy hash browns. What I got instead were pale, soggy potatoes that looked like they'd been steamed and then given up on. Not even slightly crisp. If you can't do hash browns right, maybe don't offer them. To make it worse, the food took forever to come out, which would be understandable if it was good. It wasn't. Waiting that long for food this bad is honestly insulting. For the price they charge, this is unacceptable. There are way too many solid breakfast spots around to waste your time or money here. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. read more

Best gluten free place ever with so many dairy free options. Beautiful vibes, kind people, so many food options...

Nectarine Grove is my FAVORITE restaurant to eat at when I'm visiting friends in Solano Beach. I'm a DF/GF girlie and their menu is divine. I forgot to take pictures this trip of my meal but I got the Crispy Chicken Salad (no cranberries) and a Ginger Lemon Olipop. My friend got the Cali Club with fries. The employees here are always extremely friendly and accommodating and there's a huge outdoor seating area (with some indoor seating as well). Few items to be mindful of: this place gets PACKED on the weekends and parking is a nightmare so get there early if you're on a time crunch. They also only have one bathroom and when it's busy you'll have to wait in a line. Dog friendly outdoor seating (as is the norm for this area) and a very friendly community neighborhood feel. read more

Food: I've come here multiple times and although I love that this place uses high quality ingredients, they are not very consistent with their flavors/cooking. Sometimes their chicken sammie tends to be too stringy and dry, as well as their pizza coming out soggy. I've also had their poke bowl (not pictured here) and the first time I loved it, but the second time the ahi tuna wasn't that fresh and it lacked a bit of flavor. I would say the order that hasn't disappointed me yet is their chimichurri steak bowl although their chimichurri sauce tends to be on the thicker side. However, their pesto pizza also has amazing flavor and it's very filling! Service: Staff is always very friendly and kind. You order at the counter and get a number for them to bring you your food. Ambiance: There's indoor and outdoor seating, although outdoor is much nicer, specially during the day. read more

My wife is gluten free and has some dietary restrictions. You know how some places put "health food" as a small section of their menu? These people are believers. They don't put junk in their food. My wife can eat almost everything. We plan trips just to visit this place. read more

I came here for brunch last weekend with my girlfriend who has various food allergies and dietary restrictions. It was busy (line out the door) when we arrived, but the line moved fairly quickly. The staff member taking our order was considerate of the allergen questions and had a handbook for the ingredients for each item on the menu, which was much appreciated (vegan, Gluten free, Nut allergy, ETC.). I was a little shocked by the price for 2 burritos and 2 beverages at nearly $70 but I figured for the healthy ingredients and quality food I wouldn't be too upset. The only open table was honestly subpar, there are clearly a few nice spots to sit but when its busy good luck finding any space and a nice ambience. Then went and got my self serve water, which is disappointing considering the price, and waited for our coffees while listening to the baristas take turns making drinks and complain about how busy it is (not a great look). The butter latte was a solid 5/10 and matcha also a 5/10. Breakfast burrito is a solid 6.5 and california burrito 7. Good clean food presumably, but NOT FOR THE PRICE. Food 6/10 Service 6/10 Ambience 7/10 Overall, the whole vibe felt like a ploy, overall take your business elsewhere. read more

Tasty gluten free and healthier food options. But my menu is very limited here as I'm allergic to almonds. It makes it difficult to eat here for me cause they like to use a lot of almonds (which I'm surprised) including almonds milk in dressings, and almond flour etc. I also wish they would include ingredients somewhere online or even when ordering. I have gotten sick here twice now from hidden almond milk. read more

Really disappointed with my smoothie. It wasn't blended properly. Just chunks of vegetables and it took way too long to make. Something this simple shouldn't be this bad. To clarify the time stamp which I just had to double check and the time I placed my order was around 9:10 not 9:18!!! read more

Allergen Friendly/ 100% Gluten Free / Dairy Free Options / Nut Free Options I love Nectarine Grove for being one of the only places in San Diego for being 100% gluten free. It's an amazing feeling to be able to order anything off of their menu without the fear of being glutened. There's normally a long line to order, so I recommend ordering online. However, my only qualm is that some things are hit and miss. The California Burrito is the BEST thing to get here. It's flavorful, dairy free, and crave worthy, especially when gluten free burritos are hard to come by. However, I can't say the same with the breakfast burrito. It lacked salt, was greasy, and was falling apart as soon as I received it which was disappointing. There is plenty of seating available but it does get very busy if you come during the weekend, and parking is available on the street or near the tracks. read more

This is our favorite place for brunch on the weekends. This is a laid back super dog friendly restaurant in Carlsbad. My hubby who is gf can literally eat anything off their menu and have it taste amazing! Just seeing his face when he eats a breakfast sandwich or Eggs Benedict is worth the wait ( which can some times be quite long!) This time I had Chicken and Waffles- coated with plantains and served with maple syrup, coleslaw, and a lovely honey mustard sauce to dip the chicken in. The chicken is HUGE pieces of white meat tenders that are crunchy and juicy. Waffles are light and tasty and grain free. The hubby had Eggs Benedict with prosciutto, hollandaise and gf English muffins. We shared a side of rosemary potatoes that were also yummy. The bakery items are equally great- we wanted a scone but they had sold out. Don't forget to try their coffee drinks of the day too, the one we tried was a cold brew with mint and ( maybe lavender?). Super delish. Great place for those people with allergies, who are vegan, vegetarian, keto or just want 'good for you food!' read more

I have been coming here for years and Nectarine Grove is my absolute favorite dedicated gluten free restaurant!
