GOODONYA® Organic Eatery

So great to have this healthy eatery open on an Easter Sunday !Great spot we love it long time

This is a simple restaurant with a simple menu; it's nothing I cannot make myself at home. However, it was nice to visit while catching up with a friend.I ordered the Fried egg plate; the eggs were a perfect over-easy and I wasn't sure what "sweet potato hash" would look like, but I wasn't at all impressed (see photo). Everything was clean and fresh though. We dined on the patio, which was lovely. There's plenty of seating indoor and out, and the tables are spaced nicely apart. People-watching and seeing the city slowly wake up would have been awesome except for the high number of homeless wandering about. We came on a not-busy Tuesday morning, and service was not rushed. I would probably come back if friends want to visit but I would much rather go to Peace Pies for lunch to be honest.Pros:- walkable location- fresh ingredients, small menu- lunch available all day- Cons:- parking sucks (go to the transit center)- a bit pricey

Wooo! I'm on a review roll! Just reviewed Tsuruhashi in FV and came out here with a friend to try this place out after our workout! It is located on a busy street in Encinitas so expect parking to be a little bit difficult on weekends. Place does get busy as well so expect a wait. They can accommodate bigger parties as well but mainly outside. They do have a patio for outdoor seating incase you have a dog as well!We were quoted about a 25 minute wait for a party of 2 on a Sunday at 12:30pm. It did take about that time as well! We sat down and began to look at the menu. 100% organic as it is touted but the main dish that interested me was the protein scramble! I also ordered a iced vanilla mint as a beverage.My friend ordered a cashew vanilla latte and when our drinks came out we did ask our server for sugar. He took a long while and mind you the place is pretty busy so when the hostess came by we asked for sugar again and she forgot as well. Finally when our food did come out, our sugar came as well. Little bit of a fumble but recovered fine haha.The protein scramble consists of eggs, sausage, cheddar, mushroom. It is also served with sourdough toast and butter as well. Alone, the scramble tasted fine! But I would really suggest you add some hot sauce on it because it does enhance the flavors way more! My favorite though was my iced vanilla mint latte! The mint accentuated the vanilla taste which was definitely refreshing to drink. Definitely order this if you come here and you are a coffee drinker!Overall, this place is good. It was around $20 for my meal and it is a good amount of food and beverage for what you pay for. A little fumble on the service but that can always be fixed and worked on. I would say this place is solid though. Me and my friend wished we sat outside too in that really nice outdoor patio too!

Huge fan of the food here. The dishes I've had relatively simple and straightforward but what they do, they do well. They use great ingredients and they're packed full of flavor. It does take some time to get food, but I feel like it's worth the wait. I have yet to have a dish that I haven't liked here. So far, the Baja scramble was a big crowd pleaser the first time I came here- all three of us ordered it and liked it. The second time I was feeling a scrambled egg sandwich, and I loved that the bread came grilled like a grilled cheese. My server directed me toward the beef chorizo and I was real happy with that addon. Will definitely be back, hopefully sooner than later!

If you are looking for healthy fresh organic breakfast item, this is a must try. We ordered their protein scramble that had sausages and eggs with a side of pancakes. This is a no frills place, just good food. The scrambled protein eggs were fluffy and tasty. Their pancake is not your typical overly sweet pancake and on the thinner side but still delicious with maple syrup. Our waiter was helpful and checked on us periodically. Great little cafe in the heart of Encinitas.

Took my family here for brunch on the weekend. This place was great! I loved the healthy options and clean menu. It's a relief to be able to dine out and not worry about what you're consuming. The service was excellent and food was great. Will definitely be returning many times in the future.

Not great. We went here on a Saturday afternoon about 1.5 hours before closing. It was pretty empty. Service was really slow, and it took the waiter a long time to visit our table at all. We didn't get water until our food arrived. I was pretty disappointed in the food. The eggs were incredibly dry and seemed like they were microwaved or sat under a heat lamp for 20 minutes. The black beans were just thrown in eggs with some cheese, and they didn't bring me avocado even though it came with the Baja scramble. The waiter asked if I wanted to be charged for it, but I said no thanks. I was about to get up and go to the front to ask for a menu to check when he brought the avocado and apologized, which was nice. I picked around and ate the edible parts with the avocado. What was left was rubbery eggs that were hard to cut into and bouncy. I do really like that they have mostly gluten free dishes and clean ingredients, but the slice of sourdough bread was the best part of the meal.

Love me some GOODONYA! As a local, I have had both breakfast and lunch. I've never had an issues finding parking, it is on the end of the Encinitas strip so not as busy toward that end! The service has always been fantastic, and the food never disappoints! I bring my dog with me and we sit in their outdoor dining section.

Hats off to the chef for creating such a memorable experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff making the afternoon. The outdoor ambience was delightful. I can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious offerings!

Are you kidding me? - I ordered a Scramble Protein - I added avocado and bacon. I expected some avocado, and maybe a few eggs, but I got this picture attached.This is what $26 gets you...I don't care if your chickens have never been touched by humans and only ate organic wild caught birdseed - this is a disgrace. It also doesn't help that they couldn't care enough to include the avocado I paid $3 for.Look, I get it, it's organic and overpriced but this is beyond an insult for eggs and sausage/bacon - this is unethical.
