The food is ALWAYS delicious! We love this little gem! So happy to have found it! On this particular visit we shared a burger, Brussels sprouts and a lemon bar. ALL GLUTEN FREE!! Seriously the best kept secret! And the service is outstanding! Ivy was helpful to guide us on our decision-making (because everything is so good!!) and we laughed at the once mini cupcakes (they only serve regular size now, as it should be!). 🥰 And on my last visit, Hannah was super helpful! Everyone is always so kind and friendly, and the best customer service!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I have to give kudos to gluten free breakfast restaurants. This one is very nice. I ordered the protein plate and kids pancake. The food was excellent and tasted fresh and healthy. Not overly salty. The turkey sausage looked maybe like they might be making it themselves, it was fairly tough however, but tasty. The high table i was at was a bit shaky so my coffee spilled when i started sawing through stuff. Other that, a nice dining experience. They also have gluten free pastries and I ordered a cinnamon roll. It was great. I'm glad I don't live too close to here otherwise I'd get addicted to their sweet treats.

After deciding to give Nectarine Grove another go (had a previous negative experience at their other location), I was more than pleasantly surprised. The portion sizes and service were beyond amazing at this location, evident through the vibrant atmosphere! Highly recommend the eggs benedict as well as their healthier treats — the paleo banana muffin and vegan magic bars were so tasty. The carrot cupcake was on the dry side but still so glad I gave this cafe another chance. Would definitely recommend stopping by!
