Nutmeg Bakery & Cafe: A family-friendly gem in Sabre Springs, San Diego. This artisan bakery offers an array of comforting baked goods and hearty brunch dishes. Nutmeg expanded their space over the last few years, making this an inviting place for families, couples, and local foodies exploring North San Diego’s breakfast spots. For Sunday brunch, we enjoyed a warm ham and cheese croissant. Its airy, flaky layers and butter richness complemented the ham and melted Swiss cheese to create a pleasant balance of salty and savory flavors. The spicy corned beef hash was a substantial dish, full of brightly colored ingredients. It had a pile of vibrant scrambled eggs, corned beef bites, sliced green onions, jalapeños, red peppers and potatoes, and melted cheese. While the spice was milder than expected, some dashes of hot sauce enhanced its acidity and heat. The ordering / dining experience was straight forward: order from the friendly counter staff, take a number, and settle into one of the many indoor or outdoor tables for efficient food delivery by the servers. Note: The outdoor area is in a cozy, shaded area with limited seating. The counter service is noticeably friendly and welcoming. The floor service felt less attentive, likely due to the busy weekend brunch crowd. Nutmeg Bakery & Cafe in Sabre Springs is a great choice for a tasty, mid-priced meal. It is well-suited for families or anyone craving artisan baked goods in North San Diego.

The food was excellent. Well worth the price. The lamentation process is perfect creating light and airy pastries beautifully displayed. The coffee was warm and creamy with a nice touch of nutmeg. The bananas foster was filled with a light whipped cream that melts. This place really delivers.

Love this Nutmeg! Whenever I am in the Poway area I always stop in for my favorite Lavender Latte and a pastry. Their breakfast is also so tasty! The service is also amazing. When I dine in the staff make me feel like I am at their house sharing a meal with them. If you want a good latte or a tasty pastry please give Nutmeg a try…u will not be disappointed.
