Nomade is a cool and eclectic spot that transforms depending on the time you come. Wifey and I stopped by for brunch so it was a calm, laid back, and vibey ambiance. The interior was decorated very aesthetically and they were spinning some Mac DeMarco. We ended up sharing the Apple Crumble French Toast and the Breakfast Burrito and both were super good. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area to experience the vibes during dinner time! read more

Updating my review bc we just tired to go this morning... and planned on staying a while because we had our laptops. And kindly ask for a larger table.. as we also wanted to order food and the one girl server kept repeating to us that we weren't allowed to sit on a 4 top table bc it was just us two, and because it was a Saturday!? But there were plenty of other seating and they weren't super busy at the time. Last time we were here, it was also a Saturday.. there were 3 other gentlemen working at the time.. who didn't give us a hard time at all! They were super inviting and very nice, even tho we ordered food, coffee and sat there for our meeting for a few hours, he wasn't overbearing and was just overall nice. However, this one girl server ruined it. We won't be coming back. Despite us asking nicely.. you would rather save space for other customers than value the ones who've return. read more

What a cozy eclectic spot for dinner and drinks. We sat at the bar in front of the dj spinning vinyl so it added to the experience. They have lots of tapas and some mains to choose from depending on what you're in the mood for. Lots of wine and wine based cocktails on their menu. We shared four different tapas between the two of us and it more than filling. They also operate as a cafe during the day which I could see as being a chill place to grab some coffee and light bites. read more

I accidentally stumbled into this spot for lunch because my friend wanted to grab tapas for lunch, only to find out they run a separate breakfast/lunch menu. I ended up liking the lunch menu even more. Coming here on a weekday is the ultimate move. It's less crowded, and you can sit back and enjoy the incredible chill jazzy vinyl and amazing aesthetic vibes. I loved it so much that I started brining other friends and somehow I ended up coming here three times last week. The prices are really good for the quality of the food. I order something new every time I visit and everything has been great. I strongly recommend any of their toast options (I forget their names), and the bacon in the American Breakfast is incredibly thick, honestly too good for the price. read more

My husband and I came here for date night and our experience was great! We sat in the lounge area which could fit four people pretty snug but for the two of us it was perfect. we got the crispy rice, patatas bravas, crudo, smash burger and squid ink rice! everything we ordered was delicious + we loved the vibe and service. Make a reservation ahead of time because it did get packed with bigger parties later on. we'll definitely go back for dinner again read more

Such an adorable space! I love how they have a cute brunch situation in the morning and then it turns into an adorable spot for drinks & small bites at night! We came around noon for lunch and the food was sooo good. The serrano pesto sandwich was SO TASTY. I loved the combo of pesto, arugula, tomatoes, and sourdough. The jamon serrano reminded me of prosciutto. My friend got the American Breakfast and he really enjoyed it. I do have to say unfortunately the matchas were disappointing though. I'm so sad the color was so deceiving :/ It tasted really milky, and I asked for earl grey syrup in mine and my friend asked for vanilla and neither of us could taste any flavor....besides milk. Vibes are so amazing though, and lots of people were doing work!! Such a cute place. I NEED to come back at night for their dinner & drinks!! read more

This place is so cute and has such good vibes. We came for dinner on a weekday and it wasn't too busy. Service was very friendly and fast the whole night. The food is Spanish/asian served tapas style so the dish sizes are a bit smaller. I got a glass of pinot noir to start and they were very open to letting me try that and any other wines I wanted before I committed which I always appreciate. For food we got the heirloom carpaccio, meatballs, gambas al ajillo, tuna crispy rice and croquetas. Everything tasted very fresh and flavorful. The portions are a bit small/expensive for the price which is why I'd dock a star but overall a really great experience and I'd be back to try more of the menu. read more

Ok spot for coworking. There were a few other people there with laptops. Loved that they have a DJ spinning vinyls. They close at 2pm so keep that in mind if you do decide to work from there. Unsure on the overall taste of the food. Ordered a Turkey BLT and it wasn't a typical version of it. The turkey was chopped up and mixed in with the bacon and dressing vs the traditional sliced option. This made it a little harder to eat, potions of turkey would fall onto the plate with each bite. read more

Solid spot, cool vibe! We ordered: freddo cappucino whole milk $5.65 freddo cappucino oat milk $6.65 freddo espresso $4.50 ea $1 surcharge for oat milk is pretty high I personally had the freddo espresso.

Cool DJ set inside...I'm sure they throw some fun events! read more

Came by on a weekday afternoon for a bite and it wasn't busy. Interior is cute and they had great music, bartender was switching up the records. A full bar and coffee, matcha and tea. We ordered the Chopped TLBLT Sandwich and it was a huge portion and came with fries. The bread was delicious, fries could be a little hotter. Service was a bit slow but would come back to see how the space is in the evening. Street parking here. read more

Stopped by Nomade Coffee on a Sunday morning and it was such a vibe. They had a DJ going, which made it super fun. I couldn't stay since I had my dog with me.. he's older and was too overstimulated lol but we grabbed two coffees to go. But they are dog friendly. Definitely try the Freddo cappuccino, it was delicious and strong, but in the best way. Also, their to-go cups are so cute! Would love to come back and actually hang out next time. read more

Decided to come with the girls for brunch, but come early so you don't have parking issues. Place is nicely decorated with what seems a good bar for the evening. As I came for brunch I ordered the olive honey latte with oat milk and the chopped TBLT sandwich. I missed the "chopped" part in the description bc the turkey and bacon were definitely chopped and mixed together like a salad. I wasn't a fan of this version, but the sandwich did taste ok. As for my latte ... I don't know what I expected for the olive oil taste, but I couldn't taste it. I did have to stir every time to drink as the olive settles as a top layer. It did taste like good as it just tasted like a honey latte. Our server was great. I had plenty of questions and she was patient and helpful. Definitely coming back, but for the evening drinks. read more

The ambiance in here is so unique! When you walk in, it looks both chic and modern. I like how they display a lot of records on the walls. For food, we ordered: -My favorite was the Patatas Bravas ($9): which had layers of fried potato along with brava sauce. -Shrimp Skewer ($14): This came with 3 garlic grilled shrimp, along with the tallow-fried shrimp heads and spicy aioli. Our waiter encouraged us to eat the fried shrimp heads whole. -Matrimonio ($14): This had sourdough bread, house cream cheese, chives, fresh and cured anchovies. For us, this popular dish didn't live up to the hype. -The smash burger ($26) had premium ribeye, cheddar cheese, dill pickles, house sauce on a potato roll with a side of tallow fries. While this was filling, there wasn't anything that stood out. In the future, I would order more apps instead. For drinks: -Travieso ($14): This cocktail had blueberry amaro, dry vermouth, lemon, muddled cucumber, and strawberry. It was well balanced. -There were four mocktail options. I got the Grey Fox ($10) which had earl grey syrup, lemon, and tonic. This was a unique drink, and it was very refreshing. For dessert: -Our waiter recommended the vegan chocolate cake ($12), and said it's one of his favorites even though he isn't vegan. We loved this, and how it came with a ton of strawberry slices. I'd highly recommend this dessert. All in all, this tapas and wine bar is such a unique experience that's worth checking out! read more

We came for breakfast after a hike and it did not disappoint! The portions were very generous. The avocado toast came with one egg but realistically had at least 2!

We came for breakfast and coffee and it was incredible! Get the freddo cappuccino, it will not disappoint. I'm not sure of any other place in San Diego that does these.

Lots of seating, parking is hit or miss, would recommend going during the week! read more

I would skip eating here. Food looks better than it tastes. Super overpriced for how it tastes. Small portions. Again it looks nice. But theres not much seasoning in most of their food. And if it werent for the sauces on the side wouldnt have any flavor at all The vibe is ok. And again maybe looks better in photos. I think if ur in the area alrdy sure. But dont go out of your way to come read more

Good vibes and food! I got a hot earl grey matcha latte with almond milk and it had a great balance of matcha flavor or earl grey. I also got the avocado toast with a poached egg. The hot honey on the toast added a nice touch of sweetness to the dish and the acidity of the tomato's and fats of the avocado. Solid place to eat with a nice ambiance. The bathrooms were also nice too which is a plus! read more

We thought we were walking in to our sushi joint but noticed it was no longer sushi. That's ok because Nomad is tapas and we like tapas. I think it's Asian fusion tapas. We had the tuna crispy rice and pork dish which was very flavorful. Most of all the place is cool. Nice ambiance, decor and service. It was a weekend and they were playing from their vinyl collection. I really loved the acid jazz they were playing. They also serve brunch tapas and have DJ's on Fridays/Saturdays. read more

After getting a few insta posts highlighting Nomade and its aesthetic listening cafe concept, I decided to try it out for myself. I stopped by for lunch on a weekday and was pleasantly surprised by the vibes. Good music was playing and people were chatting over coffees and tapas. The serrano pesto sandwich sounded too delicious to not get, and I ordered an iced vanilla matcha latte to wash it down. Both items were so delicious! The sandwich was dressed on the heavier side, so if that's not your cup of tea, might want to ask for light dressing. The barista accidentally gave me the wrong matcha, but was so sweet about it and remade another one for me pretty quickly. I'm so glad she did cos the vanilla matcha was tasty.. you could literally see the vanilla bean specks. Overall, I liked this spot and its location (although parking is solely whatever's available on the street). I look forward to coming back in the evening time or to listen to their next featured DJ set. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The esthetics were super cute. Love the vintage records vibes. I had a meeting on a late Wednesday morning. They were out of pastries by 11:00am which was a bummer. I wasn't hungry enough for a full on meal. I got a Matcha Latte with Almond Milk and he got a Cortado. Drinks came out quickly. He requested sugar on the side. I was excited to discover my friend's wine on the shelf. Overall drinks were fine, service was ok, they didn't seem particularly happy to be at work. Might try it again during a different time. read more

I've enjoyed my experiences at Nomade. I liked the dinner menu more than the brunch however. I especially like the Crudo from the dinner menu. I also discovered my love for Hugo Spritzes at Nomade. The brunch menu did not have any specific dishes that were amazing to me, I would personally not come back for the brunch. Pricing is about what you'd expect for a place like this. The aesthetics are nice, but quite loud. Not the best for a hangout since you're probably going to be yelling across the table to hear each other. Parking is rough too, usually just street parking in the area. read more

Had a reservation here this past Sunday for my monthly book club meeting. The vibes were great, the drinks were also amazing. We started off with coffee & matcha from the breakfast menu. I had the chilaquiles that I scarfed down so fast I forgot the photo lol. Very delicious! Definitely want to try the lunch/dinner menu with their shareable apps next. The reason I did not give a five star was primarily due to our experience with the server. I didn't catch his name honestly, but he was impolite and we felt rushed to leave. Right after receiving our first round of drinks and submitting our orders for food he asked if we were ready for the check. We had not even been there 20mins. It would be understandable if it were busy but there was at most four tables occupied by small groups or couples. When the time to pay came around he was also rude about having to split the check 4 ways. Although we all loved the food and drinks, and the ambiance. The service could use some improvement. read more

Bring on the tapas spots, please. There can never be enough of them! Nomade is unique. Unlike Barra Oliba, our favorite, that serves very traditional Spanish tapas or Mabel's, where seafood shines, Nomade is fusion with thoughtfully paired dishes with Filipino, Japanese and Mexican influences. We came on a weeknight and grabbed a seat at the bar! They had records spinning with vinyls lining the walls. Great ambiance. The bartender was friendly and attentive. We ordered what felt like a little bit of everything starting with some great wines. Then came the Pan con jamon iberico, meatballs, spicy tuna crispy rice, baked cheese. It was all great! The pan con jamon iberico was great with a nice nuttiness from the jamon. The baked camembert may have been my favorite of the dishes. It was so creamy and tasty! The spicy ahi crispy rice was also a welcome surprise! It felt a little different than the other dishes on the menu, but was so perfect. The meatballs were good, but spicy!! I can't complain though because the bartender came to check on us multiple times to ask if they were too spicy, but they did result in quite the forehead sweat. We ended our meal with the basque cheesecake, which is the best cheesecake in San Diego, period. We never turn away a basque cheesecake from a menu, so I can easily say we've had our fair share of basque cheesecakes in San Diego. This one was absolute perfection. The top was torched to create a crisp creme brulee like finish. I've literally never had anything like it and boy was it amazing! Love this little neighborhood tapas bar. Only wish parking in the area was easier to make it more accessible! read more

This place is so cute! Truthfully, we were shocked they allowed dogs in here because it is a newer bar and felt more upscale. We came during the weekend and it was not busy at the time, so we managed to grab a booth seating area - perfect for bringing our dog. We didn't order food, so I can't add any notes there, but the drinks were good! Ambiance wins at this spot. Would be really cute for a date night. read more

Came here for brunch and really loved the vibe! It's a super laid-back spot with a young crowd and a great energy--they had vinyl records spinning which made the atmosphere really vibrant. The seating is a mix of bar spots, tables, and comfy sofas. Just a heads-up on the food: they stick to a specific brunch menu in the mornings and switch to tapas in the evening. We ordered a few things to share: * Breakfast Burrito: This thing was HUGE. I could literally only finish half of it, but it was delicious. * TDL & Prosciutto Ham Sandwich: Both were really tasty. The sourdough bread was on point, perfectly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The service was lovely and very attentive. If you're looking for a casual place to meet up with friends and have brunch, this is a great spot. read more

A unique tapas experience inside an intimate, upbeat atmosphere, Nómade brings the San Diego culture to life in North Park. Every bite of food was incredibly delicious, with perfect combinations of flavors and textures, and bright, refreshing drinks to match! The tuna crispy rice was a standout for me, probably the best I've had! The rice was perfectly crisp, with a hint of soy that let the fish truly shine. The katsu sando was another must get, with a sweet dipping sauce that perfectly balanced the katsu chicken. This is the perfect date night spot or to grab pre-dinner cocktail and appetizer! read more

I discovered this spot form Tiktok and had a gos in mind one day to hit up little while that's 2 doors down and decided not to wait in line. When I stopped and looked up I realized nomade was right there! So I went in and felt such an eclectic atmosphere here. From the decor and seating arrangement having a minimalist vibe to the wine bar and coffee providing yet another twist to the space. And jazz music with record players everywhere. How did they make this space so cozy is beyond me I loved being there. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Manuela served my coffee and she was very kind. They have unique coffee like olive oil! I was intimated to try it this time but I will next time! read more

We were walking past and stuck our heads in and were delighted by the ambiance. Love the vibe, the decor is on point, love the little "wine shop" where we got a beautiful bottle of Moroccan rose, the menu was terrific and Nomade wins on food and setting. HOWEVER, we would be hard pressed to come back just based on the service alone. The "host" seating guy seemed like maybe it was his first day on the job (quite disorganized and for someone who set the experience for guests was super casual and unprofessional) and our waiter was seriously one of the worst I have experienced in San Diego, ending in a conversation about the origin of Basque food that was borderline offensive. He could not have been less interested in us or in being there it seemed. Completely dismissive. Also, it seems that the wait staff are responsible for changing over the vinyl records in addition to being rude to customers and there were a couple of lengthy awkward silences in the restaurant when they forgot they were DJs as well as servers. Nomade really needs to train their staff to meet the quality of their restaurant. We'll come back when they do. read more

Nómade was an amazing place to sit and study at in the late morning. The ambience was fantastic, the servers were attentive, and the overall atmosphere was lively. Shout out to Miguel along with the amazing bartenders / baristas. We ordered drinks and later split a sandwich. The espresso and matcha strengths were great quality and the syrups super fragrant. Their cold foam of the day was fresh and thick; I can't wait to try a different flavor a different time. The Serrano Pesto Sandwich was flavorful and hardy. Overall super creamy sauce, textured bread, and well seasoned. Some of the other plates they had looked great too. We stayed for almost 3 hours, they have WiFi as well! Street parking was pretty easy to find and the area is very walkable. We arrived at 11:00am on a Friday and beat the lunch rush; the main seating area definitely filled up by 12:00pm. I would definitely recommend coming in no later than 11:00 to snag a good study table on the weekends. read more

The cutest spot has added so much to the Adams avenue community. The vibe is pretty common: records and tapas, but the food is pretty good.

We came for dinner after wanting to come for months, and we're so happy we finally checked it out! Delicious and great authentic Spanish / Basque spot! Our server Josué was SO amazing! He was so friendly and made us feel so comfortable. The shishito peppers, Jamon Iberico, crispy fried rice, patatas bravas, spicy Caesar, and basque cheesecake were all amazing! Meatballs were just ok, would reco trying a different main. Great wines (and they even give you tastings to try first) and they have Vermut on draft! Can't find that anywhere in the US and only in Spain. Such a great authentic spot! Feels like we are back in Spain. Great atmosphere as well with the beautiful design inside and the records playing. We will absolutely be back soon! read more

This is a super cute neighborhood tapas bar! It used to be an old sushi spot that I loved soo I was excited to check this place out. The place itself is small with cute simplistic decor. It's a nice listening bar with plenty of different records behind the bar. Staff were welcoming and friendly. There are paid meters right out front, otherwise you need to find street/residential parking. It's right near An's dry cleaning. I came for breakfast, but definitely want to come back for wine and tapas in the evening. Food/drink review: Iced matcha latte: (4/5) This was actually very tasty! I added a hint of vanilla and it was delicious! Breakfast burrito: (4/5) The dipping sauces are yummy. The burrito itself was very egg heavy. Overall, pretty decent. read more

This has barely touched University Heights and already the place was abuzz with patrons around 630pm. Definitely like the chill vibes and variety of records displayed. The waiter was friendly and kept me company while my friend was looking for parking (super challenging in this area). The cocktail menu has wine incorporated in its mixes. However, I settled on a cab, which was delightfully full bodied and smooth. Food - Crudo - Today it was Seabass and it came with side of sourdough toast. Not sure about the bread and fresh seafood pairing. Usually a thin crusty bread, chips, or crackers would've been better. The sauce was tart but fresh. There wasn't too much Seabass in this dish. Chile Poblano Soup - This was nice and creamy. Now this would be good with a side a chips as well, something to dip the soup in. I also ordered the Matrimonio and asked about the item several times but it was never brought out :(. Thankfully we weren't super hungry and it didn't appear on our bill when we checked out. Food wasn't outstanding for me. It's a nice place to hang out and have some wine and snacks. read more
