About

Healthy Creations Cafe on North El Camino Real operates as a 100-percent gluten-free and predominantly organic kitchen in Encinitas's New Encinitas corridor, serving breakfast, lunch, and smoothies from a concept founded in 2007. The same ownership runs sister restaurant Nectarine Grove on Coast Highway 101, extending the celiac-safe, seed-oil-free cooking model across two Encinitas locations and a third in Del Mar. Glor, a 2001 graduate of Bauman College of Natural Foods with a Whole-Foods Chef certification, launched the concept as an organic meal-assembly business before evolving it into a full cafe and smoothie bar by 2012. Proteins include free-range humane-certified chicken, wild-caught seafood, and grass-fed beef, paired with produce sourced from local farms and a retail section stocking specialty gluten-free pantry items rarely found elsewhere, an ingredient-sourcing standard shared with the imported olive oils and artisan goods at Baker and Olive nearby. The kitchen uses avocado oil, coconut oil, and olive oil exclusively, eliminating industrial seed oils from every sauce, dressing, and baked good produced in-house.
