What Our Regulars Say

Reviews from guests in Poway and Sabre Springs.

Denni Wibowo

Everything we ordered was delicious—from the Eggs Benedict and spicy corned beef hash to the pancakes and double smash burger. The drinks were just okay, nothing particularly memorable. The place is clearly popular, with a steady crowd and a long ordering line at times, but the service moved quickly and efficiently. ... The atmosphere was also really enjoyable and lively. It is a bit on the pricey side for breakfast—expect around $30 per person with tax and tip for just food and a drink—but overall, a solid and satisfying experience.” Read More

Alex Skaggs

Beautiful selection of baked items and very tasty Italian paninis. The service was excellent, welcoming, and very helpful, especially for a first-time visitor. The staff took the time to explain the options and made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. Everything we tried felt fresh, flavorful, and ... thoughtfully prepared. The coffee was outstanding, and it paired perfectly with the bakery items. This is a wonderful bakery with great food, great drinks, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. I would definitely recommend stopping by, whether you are looking for a quick coffee, something sweet, or a delicious panini. Read More

Frequently Asked Questions

What dishes are you best known for?

Mornings here start with the Nutmeg Scramble, our namesake egg plate, and the savory side of the board runs through Shakshuka, Spicy Corned Beef Hash, Avocado Toast and the Hearty Protein Bowl. On the sweet side there is Stuffed French Toast and Pancakes, with a Chocolate Croissant or a slice of Tiramisu Cheesecake from the case. At lunch, the All Kale Caesar leads the salad and wrap list.

What type of cuisine do you serve?

Nutmeg is a bakery and a cafe in equal measure. The case is full of Baked Goods and Pastries made fresh each morning, and the bar pours Coffee, Hot Drinks and Cold Drinks to order. The kitchen cooks breakfast and lunch alongside it — Burritos in the morning, Sandwiches and Salads later on. We keep Gluten Free Options in the case too, along with vegan, vegetarian and dairy-free choices.

What services do you offer?

We serve Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch. Stay for a Dine-in table, order ahead for Takeout, or choose Delivery at checkout. For a gathering, we host Private Events in the cafe and send out Catering trays, Custom Cakes made fresh to order and Charcuterie Boards built to share.
