Healthy Creations Cafe — Restaurant in Encinitas

Hands down my favorite cafe in 𝑆𝑎𝑛 𝐷𝑖𝑒𝑔𝑜.

I come here almost every day and the food, coffee, and bakery items are exceptional.

Almost everything (𝘪𝘧 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨) is made from scratch and if you are gluten-free, then you’re in luck. They are 𝟏𝟎𝟎% gluten-free.

Pretty cool right?

If you're looking for 𝘨𝘧 muffins, the blueberry keto ones are delicious. They also have 𝘨𝘧 cinnamon rolls, 𝘨𝘧 coffee cake, and many others.

The 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘪 𝘸/ 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘸 𝘮𝘰𝘻𝘻𝘢, 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘢, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘰 is my personal favorite item here.

The coffee is better than anything you'll get at most places too…

The 𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘭 𝘓𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦 𝘸/ 𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘸 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘬 is the one I am most 𝒇𝒐𝒏𝒅 of.

They 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 their own cashew milk too.

This used to be one of my favorite places to go. The food is still delicious, and the remodel is nice. But the employees used to be so much more friendly and kind. It used to be one of those places you walked in and just felt welcomed. When deciding between two places to eat, I would lean toward this, because it was such a pleasant place to be. Unfortunately, that is no longer so. Granted, there are still a few employees who are nice and friendly. But overall the staff is just not as nice as it used to be. (Not that they've changed the staff. It's just the people that are there are not that friendly anymore.) I think it may be due the new manager, at least the manager I've seen there in the last 9 months or so. She doesn't interact with the customers, and when she does, she is curt and rarely smiles. I've overheard her goofing around and laughing loudly with the employees in the back, but when she comes out to the front of the story, she's miss sourpuss. It's like she thinks of the customers as an inconvenience to her, and it shows. A good manager would know the locals' names by heart and greet them and ask them how their day was or how their uncle Joe was doing or whatever. I can't imagine that this manager knows a single customer's name! Since this new manager's arrival, there also seems to be an over-emphasis on efficiency over providing a nice atmosphere. Not too long ago, I had someone mopping at my feet a full 30-45 minutes before closing! It is no longer welcoming there. It no longer has that friendly local vibe it used to have. Sad. I'm really hoping that the owner will read this review and either talk to the manager about the customers being more important than her daily tasks (or replaces this manager soon), so this place can go back to the friendly place...

This place is a hidden gem of healthy and delicious food!! I wanted to check this place out because I heard great things about the food and it delivered.

THE FOOD: I ordered the Twisted Reuben sandwich (pastrami but not greasy at all) and also a cranberry goat cheese salad that had extremely delightful thinly sliced pears and candied walnuts! I didn’t even use any dressing because everything was so fresh and tasty! So so good. I wanted to try every thing on the menu.

THE DRINKS: To top it off, I tried the ginger bone broth (hot) and it just hit the spot! Also tried the chocolate cinnamon cold drink thing (I forgot what it was called), but it had a bunch of healthy good stuff in it and it was perfect. I’m definitely a fan!

THE LOCATION: It’s situated in an unassuming small plaza (I think there’s a swimming pool goods shop & random stores) directly adjacent to a home boutique store.

OVERALL: It’s absolutely worth coming here if you’re into healthy food that’s good for your body and tastes good too! Highly recommend if you like organic food, in need of gluten free bread and dislike preservatives and or have any gluten or food allergy...
