We ordered the salted coffee (the caramel syrup was unreal ), the vanilla mint latte (subtle, refreshing, and smelled amazing), and the maple donut--which is an absolute must. We also had the protein scramble, the spicy chicken sandwich (an absolute banger ), and a 4 oz cup of bone broth that genuinely revived my soul. And can we talk about the service? Our waiter was incredibly attentive... and ridiculously good-looking, which definitely didn't hurt the overall experience. Safe to say I'll be back.

I always wanted to give this place a try, and recently I got a chance. It was a warm evening, so…read moresitting outside was not ideal, but it worked. I think lunch might have been a better choice because the sun would not have been shining directly in our faces. Not much that the owners can do about that, unfortunately, and the umbrellas needed some securing as the breeze kept turning them away. The food is good, including some unique choices. I enjoyed my elk burger, which was different for me, but didn't care for the gluten-free bun. It was too crumbly and seemed more like a cornbread mix, although it is house made which is great. I would recommend that they tweak the recipe for those of us who avoid wheat. The service was really good, and I will definitely come back! Brunch on the front patio might be a great choice.

Unfortunately, we did have to swing at gnats several times while sitting at our booth inside. There's a good amount of TVs on the walls for entertainment. Our waitress was cool but never asked if we wanted a refill or new drinks for our empty glasses. The menu had several things that sounded good to me but I went for the fig flatbread. It let me down. The figs were too big for the tiny slices and not enough cheese. My daughters kid cheeseburger was very bland. I know its for kids but my kids have standards. The beer was delicious and I appreciate the variety they offer. The ranch was also very good.

We stopped by The Original 101 Diner for breakfast while spending the day in Encinitas, and it was…read morea great choice. The diner is conveniently located right along the main street, surrounded by local shops and restaurants. There was both indoor and outdoor seating available, and we chose to sit inside. Everything was clean, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We were seated immediately when we arrived, but by the time we left there was a small wait, which tells me this is a popular spot with both locals and visitors. I ordered the two-piece French toast with a side of bacon. The portion size was just right, the French toast was delicious, and the bacon was cooked exactly the way I like it--crispy around the edges without being overdone. I have to laugh because I started eating before I remembered to take pictures...haha! So my French toast photo is missing a few bites, but I guess that's a pretty good indication that I couldn't wait to dig in. Overall, we had a wonderful breakfast and enjoyed our experience from start to finish. If you're looking for a classic diner while visiting Encinitas, I would definitely recommend stopping by. Next time I'd love to come back and try lunch. (I'll take better photos ).

They have two dirty high chairs and one of them was missing safety straps. The service was ok. Update: The owner's response to my review was simply, "Yeah relax." Unfortunately, that response reinforces the concerns I had about this business. Rather than addressing the issues I raised--food quality, cleanliness, and child safety--they chose to dismiss a customer's honest feedback. Reviews exist to help businesses improve and to inform other customers about their experiences. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful; I was sharing what we genuinely experienced. A professional response would have acknowledged the concerns or explained how they planned to address them. Instead, the dismissive reply speaks volumes about how customer feedback is valued here. Based on both our visit and the owner's response, I won't be returning, and I hope they choose to take customer concerns more seriously in the future.

It's been a few years since I've been to this iconic restaurant located in downtown Encinitas…read more Parking was very difficult on a Saturday around noon. Had to park across the 101 and trek it. Walking in there were no customers dining in but a couple of people on their outside patio at the entrance. The server was really nice and took our orders. We ordered the option C: A plain Manhole sized pancake with eggs & bacon and the Tuna sandwich w/ fries. Food arrived fast and was given salsa as well (which was delicious!). The manhole sized pancake was huge as expected and couldn't fit on the oval plate. The scrambled eggs were hanging off the smaller plate it was on with the bacon. The tuna sandwich was impressive. It was in what looked like slices of Texas Toast bread. The food was good and glad we didn't give up on the parking situation. They are still cash-only and thankfully an ATM inside. They also take Venmo.

An employee told me it must be the wrong location to call the store's phone number From the txt I recr When I called, I could see the manager looking at the phone while I repeatedly said, "Hello, hello." He hung up on me. When I went inside and told him it was me who had called, his response was, "I trust my staff. If they can't find your order, there's nothing I can do. It's a busy day today." I kept showing him my online order confirmation, but he seemed completely uninterested and came across as rude and arrogant. After a lot of back and forth, he reluctantly agreed to replace my order. Instead of apologizing for the inconvenience, he told me that if I had a problem, I should "talk to upper management" because they could see my order in the system. When I finally received my food, my order was still incomplete. The beans were missing, and I didn't receive the guacamole that I paid for. Overall, this was an extremely frustrating experience and a complete waste of money. The customer service was disappointing, the manager was dismissive and unprofessional, and my order was still incorrect. I will not be eating here again or recommending this location to anyone.

Enjoyed the "sidewalk" shop vibe. Baked goods looked yummy. We had a chocolate croissant which was a solid four-stars. Might have been tastier warm. What we didn't like: When we travel, we try a new, independent coffee shop daily in search of the best mochas. Other Yelpers had positive experiences with the espresso drinks here. We were underwhelmed. Our mocha was a two-star. Lacking in both a rich coffee or chocolate taste. Not sweet at all, though we prefer the darker chocolate, lightly sweet taste. The drink was weak and watery; lacked that rich, velvety taste of a mocha. The homemade granola looked good and we bought a bag to add to morning yogurt. If you choose to visit, come for the pastries and food, not the coffee.
