After a lively meeting of my favorite social club, 14 of us went to the Naked Cafe (http://www.thenakedcafe.com/) for lunch. We had worked up quite an appetite voting on budgets, boundaries and bylaws, and were ready for a hearty, healthy meal.
The Naked Cafe has two locations. The one in Solana Beach is on Sierra, right across from Fletcher's Cove. The other location is in a shopping center on Carlsbad Village Drive in Carlsbad. At both you will get delicious food, and plenty of it.
Since I had been there several times, I warned our group that splitting was necessary, unless they all wanted doggie bags. Only one person did not heed my warning, and she ended up taking half her meal home. They're only open for breakfast and lunch, and at the Solana Beach location expect a wait on the weekends, especially in the summer.
The breakfast items range from several varieties of humongous pancakes, most made with whole grain and fruit, and very big. Then there's coconut french toast, topped with shredded coconut and a fruit puree. Eggs, omelettes, breakfast burritos, bacon, sausage, hand made tortillas, fresh herb bread, beef hash, scrambles, homemade granola, fresh fruit, and oatmeal complete the breakfast options.
I was there for lunch, and had difficulty deciding between a wrap, a salad or a sandwich. Many lunch items have an Asian influence. Barbie and I split the Goddess Wrap, a mixture of sauteed tofu, with grilled veggies, a little spice and a little sweet, all wrapped up in a spinach tortilla, served with black beans on the side. Big, beautiful smoked turkey sandwiches, veggie sandwiches, and soft chicken tacos were also delicious. The homemade soups are available Monday-Friday, and vary from day to day.
In addition to all this, Naked Cafe serves wonderful speciality drinks. Green tea latte, pumpkin spice coffee late, and Mexican hot cocoa are just some of their hot drinks. The cold drinks include several different mimosas, with various fruit juices, Arnold Palmers, and berry tea mixed with pomegranete and lemondade. Last but not least, you can splurge with a shake or a smoothie. No way you go hungry here. Best of all I got to spend an hour with some wonderful women, talking about our busy lives and showing pictures of our grandchildren.
