Nectarine Grove is a 100% gluten-free cafe and bakehouse at 2720 Via De La Valle E110, Del Mar, CA 92014, inside the Flower Hill Promenade shopping center. The Del Mar location serves as the bakehouse for the brand, which also operates a cafe in Leucadia and is the sister concept of Healthy Creations, the original gluten-free restaurant in Encinitas. Everything on the menu is made without gluten, and the kitchen caters to paleo, vegan, keto, and dairy-free diets using organic and well-sourced ingredients. Shoppers at Flower Hill Promenade can pair a Nectarine Grove breakfast with a trip to Whole Foods Market in the same center for groceries, making the promenade a one-stop morning destination. Standout items include gluten-free croissants that reviewers describe as flaky and buttery enough to rival traditional versions, a prosciutto and fig sandwich on a buttery croissant with mozzarella, and the turkey-avo sandwich loaded with fresh ingredients. The bakehouse produces custom cakes with 48-hour advance notice, including tiered celebration cakes, gender-reveal cakes, and minimally frosted naked cakes for a more rustic presentation. The drink menu goes well beyond basic coffee, offering scratch-made chai with organic black tea and coconut sugar, a healing golden latte with turmeric and ashwagandha, a wild-foraged chaga mocha with organic Peruvian cacao, and a guava cold foam matcha. Listed by the National Celiac Association as a safe dining option, Nectarine Grove is a trusted destination for families managing celiac disease or serious gluten sensitivities. Early risers who need caffeine before the 8 AM opening can grab a coffee at Starbucks Coffee Company on Via De La Valle, which opens at 5 AM and sits in the same commercial corridor. The cafe is open daily from 8 AM to 4 PM with the kitchen closing at 3 PM, though coffees, smoothies, quiche, and baked goods remain available until close.
