This is my favorite brunch spot in all of north county! I come here all the time and I have never had a bad experience. The staff are almost always friendly, and the food never misses. I love that when I order to go the quality doesn't change! My favorite item is probably the French toast (coconut crusted) and the avo toast! I just can't seem to get enough. They also make a variety of speciality mimosas which are so good! I love the lavender one! I love the outdoor dining in experience so much with the larger dining area.

Still good and healthy. I usually get the yin and yang bowl or the artichoke scramble. But, they've made some changes that aren't my favorite over the last few years. For example, the rosemary potatoes are never crispy and they now mix more tomatoes into everything even the potatoes and if you're ordering delivery, there's no option of removing them. Since I really dislike, warm tomatoes, I find myself ordering less from them. They also always seem to forget some thing. I can't remember the last time I actually received salsa that was supposed to come with my meal.

The Naked Cafe in Carlsbad is a haven for those seeking guilt-free yet delicious dining options. Their menu is a delightful mix of flavors and textures that won't leave you feeling weighed down. From their vibrant salads to their hearty grain bowls, every dish feels like a treat without the guilt. But what truly sets this place apart is its enchanting outdoor seating area. Nestled amidst lush greenery, dining here feels like a rejuvenating escape from the hustle and bustle. And let's talk about Nikki's amazing special butterfly lavender lemonade - it's a refreshing concoction that's as beautiful as it is tasty. Perfect for sipping on a warm Carlsbad afternoon. Overall, The Naked Cafe is a gem that combines guilt-free dining with a serene outdoor ambiance. Whether you're a health-conscious foodie or simply looking for a delightful meal, this place won't disappoint. Highly recommended!

Horchata latte. Best latte ever. If you start your day like this what can go wrong? Food was excellent.

An amazing place to get a delicious breakfast! They also have vegan options! The pancakes are so filling! The staff are so nice!
Love love love this place! The food is phenomenal at all of their locations, but this one specifically is just so cute and whimsical. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. Service was fast and attentive, and the food was of course delicious. I had the Kung Fu quesadilla and it was so filling I ended up taking half home and having lunch the next day. Mimosas are so yummy, too. Naked Cafe is a must visit!

Awwww Carlsbad...ocean beach, walkable town, great eateries! This little gem has a great patio to soak up the sun, or seating indoors when an early am breakfast is too cold to sit out. Lots of choices for drinks. I opted for the matcha mocha. I like that they serve quality ingredients for their espresso, and Ghirardelli chocolate. Ask for a bit hotter temp for their espresso drinks- mine was not hot enough. I'll know next time! We split the artichoke, pesto, quesadillas. Yum! Served with their yummy potatoes, mixed green salad, and salsa. Portions are a perfect side to split so you can order more sides! Laid back atmosphere, and friendly service. Extra points for serving their French Press in a stainless steel pot! That drink was served at the perfect temp!

The food was not fresh nor made of good quality. The worse thing was the hair I found in my food which is completely disgusting, and it did not look like hair from one's head. I immediately vomited in the rest room. After showing her my food, and asked not to remake it; she had the nerve to say: I hope this experience doesn't keep you from coming back again? I kept my silence, and left. I will never go back there to eat again.

We've been to several of the Naked Cafe locations and so we decided to try the Carlsbad one when nearby...as usual, it didn't disappoint. Here is what stood out to me: - Fun, special drinks to start...I especailly liked the coconut latte. - Food, as always, was excellent. I got the Green & Red Pagoda this time and devoured every inch of it. - Service was great, and the atmosphere outdoors was really pleasant. Bottom line: Great brunch spot...highly recommended!

Not for me. The coffee was not hot. I asked for extra crispy bacon but got flimsy raw bacon instead. The two stars were for the friendly service but we will not go back again.
