​
@parakeetcafe @parakeetjuicery
​
Parakeet is my go-to spot for a healthy brunch. They offer everything from gluten-free waffles to organic salads, soups, and healthy tonics like turmeric lattes. Pop in next door to the juicery for organic acai bowls, smoothies, or a celery juice.
NECTARINE GROOVE
Locations in Encinitas and Del Mar
​
Nectarine grove caters to the paleo crowd, offering a 100% grain-free menu that includes tacos, pizza, a full breakfast menu and a smoothie bar.
TOCAYA ORGANICA
Locations in Del Mar and Downtown
​
Tocaya is a healthy and organic take on Mexican food. It’s also a great option for lunch or dinner. My go-to order is the fajita del ray bowl with cauliflower rice without the cheese.
HEALTHY CREATIONS CAFE
376 N. El Camino Real, Encinitas
Healthy Creations is a bit of a hole in the wall, but don’t let that fool you. They focus on organic ingredients and allergy-friendly food. They also make the best Grain-Free Vegan Waffles I’ve ever had. They sell the waffles frozen so you can take them home and toast them, just like old-fashioned Eggos.

Jimbo’s is the best in San Diego for stocking up on organic produce and healthy groceries.
