Nectarine Grove Cafe & Bakehouse

What a great experience. 100 percent gluten free menu. Kind staff, amazingly fresh food packed with flavor. Highly recommend a stop here. We had the morning glory bowl with delicious cashew crema, the turkey and prosciutto sandwich on the most incredible gluten free croissant, and the Del Mar salad (I think that was the name of it). We also got carrot cake muffins, hostess looking chocolate muffin and the paleo brownie. All food was delicious, very fair priced! I wanted to honestly buy all of it even the frozen breads and waffles they had for offerings. This is a must stop for sure!

SO SO SO GOOD 😋 Celiac HEAVEN 🥲 I got the turkey + avo sandwich (sub mayo instead of aioli)! It was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had!! Chocolate croissants here are the best! And now trying the cinnamon roll this time!!

Dedicated GF, large menu of sweet and savory baked goods. Loaves of breads. My favorite so far and the hardest to find is a wonderful Crescent Rolls. Baked crunchy buttery out side and flaky texture inside. Rivals any crescent roll that’s non GF

This is the best place to go if you are GF. Everything they have on the menu and in their baked goods case is GF. I have yet to find a better chocolate croissant, cinnamon roll, regular croissant, cupcake, etc etc. My boyfriend and I both have celiac disease and we always hit up Nectarine Grove whenever we are in the SD area. I cannot recommend this place enough.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food is delicious and those of us with Celiac can eat here without concern. We took home some sweets for later.

Facility is dedicated gluten-free. Service was great. Employees very knowledgeable and wear gloves that they change frequently. My husband and I both had the boss burgers. My son had the Cali sub and then my son and I split a whoopie pie for dessert. . Food was excellent.

Totally gluten free - we love all of their food it’s delicious. Bread, waffles, cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, cookies, quiche, bagels, English muffins and then other goodies like chilaquiles, tacos, bowls. Great for breakfast lunch or a snack.

Cross contamination. Somehow gluten is making its way into the kitchen. Not sure if it's employees bringing their own bread to make sandwiches or what. It's happened two times now.

Hi Jennifer-

I'm so sorry that you felt there was cross contamination! I can assure you we do not let our employees bring in their own bread. We give them free meals everyday they work from our menu as they are not allowed to bring outside food. Could there have been another allergen causing you issues? Perhaps a gluten free flour or dairy, etc? We have an allergen guide at the front register in case you ever want to check if before ordering. We also test our food often using the Nima sensor and have never had an issue. Thank you!

Not quite as many options as the Encinitas location, but very good nonetheless!

Great place. I would recommend the Leucadia/Encinitas location because there are less options at Del Mar but it still has great sandwiches and is 100% GF establishment. I always feel safe ordering here. If you’ve never had a GF croissant Nectarine Grove is the place to try it!

New location opened recently in Del Mar. A little pricey but every thing we have tried has been amazing! So far we have tried the cinnamon rolls (which are huge), butter and chocolate croissants, coffee cake and sandwiches. Definitely recommend getting the sandwiches on a croissant! Also everything being gluten free is great not having to worry about cross contamination.
