Nectarine Grove

Nectarine Grove is a casual, 100% gluten-free and dairy-free restaurant with vegan and paleo options. I had the roasted veggie bowl, which was HUGE and absolutely delicious. There’s a relaxed outdoor patio as well as indoor seating, plus a separate coffee, tea and smoothie bar with some really interesting healthy drink options. The patio is very pet friendly—I met both a Bengal kitten and a dog hanging out while I was there. 🐾 There was a pretty continuous line to order during my afternoon visit, so it seems to stay busy. Parking is limited immediately in front: I noticed one accessible parking space and one regular space. I found street parking without much trouble in the afternoon, although I could see it being more challenging during busier evening hours. There are also comments suggesting the dirt lot across the road. A great find in Encinitas, especially if you need gluten-free or dairy-free food but still want plenty of choices. I’d definitely come back. 🍑🌱
