Setting the baseline for June lunches. If you're looking to lock in a clean routine this month, this is the line-up.

Everything on the table is entirely gluten-free and seed-oil-free, so you get a heavy, filling meal without the afternoon food coma:

🌰 Yosemite Salad (Top Left): Arugula, dried fruit, and a crisp mix of roasted almonds, cashews, and pecans.

🥓 BLAT Salad (Top Right): Thick-cut braised bacon, avocado, fresh cilantro, and house-pickled zucchini over mixed greens.

🥑 Jicama Caesar Salad (Bottom Right): Crisp jicama, toasted pepitas, arugula, and napa cabbage with our house avocado dressing.

👩‍🌾 Ecology Center Chop Salad (Bottom Left): Loaded with locally sourced farm veggies—including fingerling potatoes, crisp green beans, and summer squash.

Swing by the patio in Costa Mesa or order up at the SJC counter for lunch, or tap the link in our bio to order ahead for a fast pickup.

What people say

Pacific Pearl on Rancho Viejo Road in San Juan Capistrano is a hidden gem for foodies and event planners alike. This pop-up catering and restaurant offers a unique experience with their "Nosh Boards" that are perfect for any size party. The English Pea Hummus with Mint Marinated Peas, Sunflower Romesco, Strawberry Jam with Saint Andre, and Finochiona/pickled Brussels/Manchego/Died Fig Skewer are just a few of the delicious options available. And if you have a sweet tooth, their Strawberry Crumble Pie with Chai Cheesecake Mousse is a must-try. Pacific Pearl takes pride in using high-quality ingredients like the best strawberries on the planet and spices sealed in bags that NASA would use to transport alien parts. Their homemade chai and flavorings add an extra touch of love to their lattes. For those looking for healthier options, their Crudite Cup Energy is perfect - raw and pickled veggies paired with velvety hummus. With their upcoming ceviche spot in the fall, Pacific Pearl is definitely worth checking out for your next celebration or event.
