    My new #1 brunch spot in Encinitas! I stumbled upon this gem right on the 101 in the heart of Encinitas, and I am so glad I did! It's a newer spot in town, but it already feels like a local favorite. The atmosphere is cozy yet modern, with a laid-back coastal vibe that fits Encinitas perfectly. The menu is impressively diverse--whether you're craving something sweet, savory, healthy, or indulgent, there's truly something for everyone. The food was delicious--each dish we ordered was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and the portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming. The drinks are just as impressive as the food. They have a wide variety of cocktails and fun brunchy beverages that taste as good as they look. Perfect for a chill weekend vibe or a brunch date with friends. The staff deserves a shoutout too--everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and on point with service. You can really tell they care about creating a great experience. This place has officially become my go-to brunch spot. If you're anywhere near Encinitas, do yourself a favor and stop by--you won't regret it!

    French OG

    A Little Moore Café is such a sweet new spot in Leucadia. My boyfriend and I split the French OG breakfast sandwich and added a side of sausage and drip coffees. The savory-sweet combo on that sandwich was yummy! Think rich egg, melty cheese, and just a hint of sweetness from the French toast-style bread. If you're thinking of tackling it solo, come hungry... it's a big one! The drip coffee was solid -- nothing fancy, more of a classic diner cup. Staff were super welcoming and friendly, and the whole place has a really cute, surfy retro feel. Loved the music they had playing in the background. It's a newer spot, so I'm excited to see how it grows, but they're off to a great start. I'll definitely be back to try the breakfast burrito next time!

    This little cafe is a slightly elevated diner. I would say it's more of a 3.5/5 overall. $44 for 2 meals and 2 coffees. The portions here are XL, so a fair price in my opinion. The breakfast burrito was near perfection and was made better with the salsa. The pancakes were fluffy and tasty, but the syrup isn't good quality. Nice staff and quick service. Not the best breakfast I've ever had, but it was definitely good. Would come back!

    Went down to the SD area to meet my cousin. We found this joint on yelp and thought we'd check it out. I ordered the Bob's S lam which was pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage. I must say it didn't hit the spot. I don't know if places take pancakes for granted, but these were definitely over mixed They were very rubbery(for lack of a better word) and the edges weren't fully cooked. The sausages were dead cold. I understand they've only been open for a few weeks and that's why they got 3 stars instead of less. Our server was really good and didn't make an excuse for missing something on the order. My cousins steak was definitely cooked well done instead of medium, but the chilequilles were really good. People always say did you send it back, but I never do and have my own reasons...

    Good customer service! This was our first time here. They have a small outside patio. We didn't bring dogs, but we noticed that dogs are allowed. You can also get an outside vibe with their garage door that lifts up for an outdoor breeze for those inside. The food was delicious. My daughter raved about the tofu glaze plate and my husband loved the steak breakfast burrito! We ordered 4 plates that were about $88 total. Each plate is about $19-$20. On our way out we smelled chilaquiles and they smelled delicious! You will have to find street parking, as they do not have a designated parking space. But, we were able to find parking easily. As we were leaving it was getting busy (this was at about 10am). Highly recommend.

    Coolest New Place with an Old school flair. They use to be down the street. Jen's the best. Super fun personality!! Great smile, with the best attitude. Super customer friendly.

    My my my! There is nothing better than a diner feel with an upscale take that doesn't lose the nostalgia. This cafe is my new favorite and will be my go to! These were perfectly fried eggs and THE BEST hash browns. The staff is friendly and great to talk with. They know and love their menu, so ask them what to get and be wowed! The California Benedict is fantastic!

    Carne Asada fries

    The carne asada fries and classic burger were both delicious! The fries were crispy and full of flavor. I'm definitely planning to come back and try their breakfast.

    Right off the bat Server Sebastian was super friendly and welcoming. The place was very clean and well kept which is never a bad sign! I went with my go to country fried steak which was delicious! You could really tell the steak was fresh and not some frozen junk, hash browns were nice and crispy to my liking. Very happy and great first experience dining here. I'll definitely be back to try out the lunch menu

    Nah. Bad service, bad management, always a pricing issue. Not my cup of tea to have this many issues at a place.

It was…read morepretty mellow for a holiday night with just a handful of people there with plenty of seating both inside, outside, and at the bar. We ended up grabbing seats at the bar, which was a great choice. We ordered the: *Fig Burger with Brussels Sprouts: the Brussels sprouts were phenomenal. They had what tasted like pecans, some kind of glaze, and cheese... seriously so good. The Fig Burger itself was just as impressive with such a unique combo and absolutely delicious. *Steak Sandwich with Onion Rings: this was also a standout. Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and came with a great dipping sauce that really tied it all together. The onion rings were crispy and on point too. First off, I love that they offer a variety of sides (sweet potato fries, truffle fries, mac & cheese, Brussels sprouts, etc.), though most come with a small upcharge. We had a few drinks and even grabbed a bottle of wine from the bar to take back to our Airbnb, which was a nice bonus. The vibe was relaxed with TVs playing highlights from a basketball game, and the bartender/server was awesome. Parking was easy with free street parking, though that might've been because it was late and a holiday. Only heads up: definitely call ahead about kitchen and closing times, especially on holidays. Online said they close at midnight, but they were actually closing at 11 PM. We were told over the phone the kitchen closed at 9:45 PM, but when we arrived at 9:30 PM, it had just switched to last call. Thankfully, they were kind enough to still get our order in. Overall, phenomenal food, great service, and a solid spot worth checking out. Would definitely come back.

In place of the iconic Royal Liquor sign is a similar sign for WineCo. The man at the counter turned out to be the same gentleman who I have seen for years, and nothing changed inside. I am happy to report that this store is packed to the brim with beer, wind and liquor. Like ~90% of the independent liquor stores in the county, 101 Wine is Caledonian staffed and owned, just the way I like my liquor stores. I trust them. The name change is due to their online wine sales business. I removed one star because the name and new sign represent the gentrification of this funky town. This is walking distance from the new high end hotel and adjacent to a recently approved high density housing project that are stripping the character out while pulling in more bread. You will still find the same products that have been available previously, but this little hometown gem just sold a little of it's soul.
