Had a fab breakfast today at Honey's. As other restaurants shrink their portions Honey's continues to serve appropriate servings and quality food. Great variety of food and their fruit is actually fresh. Lots of choices so let's support the really good ones!! Cobi the young man taking orders is super friendly and had something positive to say to each guest!! We will be back! You should visit. read more

Stopped for breakfast at Honey's Bistro. Enjoyed a honey latte and mocha latte. Would recommemd them...both delicious. Hubby got the homemade corned beef has and eggs and I got the veggie benny. I forgot to order the sauce on the side as I typically don't like too much sauce...but I forgot to ask. Still good though ..sauce wasn't too heavy or thick. Glad we stopped by and tried it. Was able to dine outside with our dog too. read more

Came here on a sunny Monday afternoon to meet a friend and her kid. As I approached the entrance, I got a little nervous as there was a huge line, but it turned out to be Taco StandBell, and I let out a sigh of relief. I have no doubt that this cozy spot is crowded AF on the weekends though. They have outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade. Most of the shaded tables we're taken so I opted to sit inside. You order at the counter and coffee & water are self service. After looking at the menu I decided on the corned beef hash and my friend asked me to order her kid a grilled cheese sandwich so she wouldn't have to wait to eat since it was a long drive for them. The hash was good. I should have asked them to make it a bit crispier though as is it has a lot of flavor and I saw some celery in there. Happy to eat more fiber I asked for my eggs to be medium over and they were cooked as asked. Food came out in a reasonable time and overall experience was good. read more

Great açaí bowls and big portion. Very well rounded with good fruit, granola, coconut flakes and bee pollen. All actually good together, normally hate bee pollen Good self serve coffee area Good croissant breakfast with potato's, eggs Avo and bacon. Fire with hot sauce and got a single pancake on the side Good service, quick with delivery and helpful staff. Nice inside and outdoor seating, open concept with decently high ceilings feels very spacious and open. Allow for dogs if you sit outside read more

Staff is really nice, self-serve coffee is always a plus, prices are pretty decent, especially comparing to Swamis. $16.75 for an omlette comparing to $18+ at other places. Id suggest checking iut menu before hand, as once ur in line you need to order. He recommended the chai, Ill have to try it next visit :) read more

In town for the weekend & decided to stop in here for brunch after our hike! Cute little restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating, I ordered the ABC croissant (avocado, bacon, cheddar) it was good. My husband ordered the South of the Boarder breakfast burrito that was pretty good! My favorite item was the dirty chai latte, definitely one of the best ones I've had! We hope to come back and try their stuffed French toast that look absolutely delicious. Service was friendly, only confusing part was the ordering. You wait in line & order then find seating, while some people took tables before ordering which made others wait. Just a bit disorganized with seating but overall great spot read more

Trying new places is super fun! Was in the area for the weekend and saw their menu had a lot of tasty breakfast items so we stopped by. You order at the counter and the guy taking our order was very friendly and welcoming. The place wasnt too packed yet so we got to sit right away. My mom got the blueberry & cream cheese stuffed french toast - REALLY good and very rich! The blueberrys were very ripe and fresh. My mom wished it had been a bit more buttery. I got the eggs benedict which was fine - your basic benedict. I wasnt wild about the house potatoes personally. I think next time i would get the steak benedict. They have a good selection. We got some coffee to go - the pepp mocha for me and honey latte for my mom and they were delicious!! Did not skimp on flavor. Cute and open space - lots of plants and good lighting. The self serve coffee bar was cool too! You could even get your own to go boxes. Its the perfect blend of getting stuff yourself and being waited on. Everything came out really quick too. Do not miss this place! read more

My daughter and I came here for breakfast and it was fantastic!! Very friendly service as we were greeted as soon as we stepped in. I had the stuffed brioche French toast filled with cream cheese and blueberries, with fresh strawberries and blueberries on top. Both fruits were perfectly ripe and delicious! Seriously, I haven't had a better strawberry in forever and never such a perfect blueberry! I wish I had had a chance to try the red velvet pancakes but they'll have to wait til next time! Coffee is self-serve, which is great as there are different flavours and a decaf option as well. To-go drinks are also available - we got a honey latter and peppermint mocha to take with us. Very cute interior and also some outdoor seating. I can't wait to go back! read more

Went today for brunch with friends. This place is really popular and we stood in line for awhile out front waiting to order. Once we did, the woman taking our order was so friendly and nice. We found a table and the food was really good. So was the service! I would highly recommend this place. Dog friendly outside too. I loved their gluten free pancakes and Chai latte. read more

First time coming to the Encinitas area and this is a really lovely place! I love the open space outside and the inside is also friendly aesthetic! Managed to find a good parking spot even on a Sunday afternoon so that ways a big bonus haha. Seasonal Red Velvet Peach Pancakes - 10/10 Really light and fluffy pancakes and that combination of red velvet and Peach was really unbelievable! Definitely would not have thought of something like this myself. Seasonal menu was a little hidden but glad we managed to peek a look at it online before coming in. Healthy Chicken Sandwich - 9/10 I would have asked for a few customizations here if I went again. The sourdough was flavorful but they actually buttered it which I was not a fan of. Sauteed spinach on the inside also looked quite wet so I'm not sure if it was oil or just water. Really hoping it was water but I would have asked for less oil on this. Good amount of chicken in there which was nice. We were actually afraid that the the sun-dried tomatoes would be too oily so we asked for them on the side but they were actually quite perfect! Chicken was also cooked well and had a good amount of chicken in here Avocado was missing though so that was a little sad. Half order Eggs Benedict - 10/10 Husband got this "it was nice!" he said! He's a major Eggs Benedict person, so this is definitely one to recommend! Side Salad - Husband and I both asked for this on the side of the sandwich and the eggs Benedict. Nice way to get some veggies in without ordering a salad. Portion size was also quite big so that was nice. I didn't try the dressing but husband did and he said it was actually really really lovely. So much so that he wanted some for home! Churro Waffles Another season that our friends got. I think they actually like it because that whole plate was wiped clean! Looked really fluffy on the inside and it came with a lot of berries on top and actually looked really pretty as well. Vegetarian Breakfast burrito with Soyrizo - Friends ordered this and not going to lie this actually looked delicious! Really proper stuffed burrito that they crisped up nicely on the outside! Love how this place actually offered customization is because my friends actually customized her their order to make this burrito vegetarian but not boring. read more

Limited seating, good service and great selection of food and beverages, all the food I had was great, that being the ensenada omelette and pancakes. I would go more often if I lived closer. read more

On the main strip of Encinitas is this lovely place with a full page of breakfast items ranging from the classic eggs Benedict, to the south of the border chilaquiles Verde. On the flip side is a full page of lunch items like burgers, Patty melts, and lush salads. Our table ordered lunch: Turkey melts that were an elevated grilled cheese and a California chicken wrap with lots of juicy chicken Breastfeeding. The side salad comes with a delicious poppyseed dressing and the fries are textured in that good-good kinda way. iykyk. The world is expensive these days but I felt that this was a good deal. The portions are big and a side was included! I could only eat half the wrap anyways, so that stretched the value into 2 meals! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

I've been coming to Honey's for 25 years. The restaurant has changed and modernized over the last five years but the heart of this place has not changed. In my opinion it has the best breakfast in Encinitas. The variety, quality, and consistency is incredible! The service is amazing but so chill and laidback. They will modify to meet any dietary needs but the variety of options offers something for everyone. I always get the all natural chicken breakfast burrito with potatoes. But I recommend any of the eggs benedict or omelette options. read more

I brought my friend here yesterday for breakfast after searching online "best breakfast places in Encinitas". You stand in a line to order and then you find your seat and we chose to sit outside. It was wonderful. The people outside were fun. Everybody was talking to each other. We shared our seat with a stranger who was great conversation. We ordered Iced Matcha and our breakfasts, both were very good. Definitely will come again. The only thing that was a little off was when I ordered my omelette the girl said what would you like for the side and I said what are the sides and she says it's right there and she points to it. Very quick, not helpful just brash. Okay now I didn't say it, but I thought to myself how hard would it be to say potatoes, fruit, cottage cheese? Anyway, the print is really small for me. It would've taken nothing for her to be kind and just say what the sides were. She's truly just standing there. And then when it was time to pay our bill it asks you to tip and that's when I tipped nothing and I always tip well. We all work hard for our money and I'm not going to tip somebody that can't even tell me what my side options are. She just wasn't a nice girl. Anyway, if you are looking for a really cute place to take a friend or to take your wife, it is great. read more

The service was quick and the gentleman at the front was very honest when recommending between two dishes. I liked that there was both indoor and outdoor seating which allows you to choose a calmer or more busy environment. The food was presented nicely but I did feel that my dish could have been more seasoned. During this visit I got the artichoke sausage omelette and my friend got the Tuna melt. I preferred the tuna melt I would definitely try again. read more

I've always walked by Honey's wanting to try their food because we named our mini golden doodle Honey and the restaurant is always hopping. It was available for delivery so decided to give it a try. Ordered an Açaí bowl and it was Massive while packed to the brim. Apple juice base and filled with fruits. I ended up eating half and then putting it in the freezer to eat the other half later. Was refreshing after it was frozen too. I definitely want to try their other food now because I bet the portions are big! read more

Honey's Bistro - Acai Bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Encinitas, California

Cute spot but not at all worth $70 for 2 people. Expected way more for the price point, the steak unfortunately was comparable to Denny's. We asked for the steak to be prepared medium, instead received a well done steak and not seasoned. The brioche French toast was tough to cut - I scratched the plate several times trying to cut a piece off. The food came out lukewarm/cold as both eggs were cold by the second bite. The service isn't great as the cashier didn't greet us; just stood at the register looking around until we asked "are you ready for us?" That said, you can get a cute and yummy mimosa from anywhere, definitely expected a lot better food quality and experience for the price. read more

A friend recommended Honey's for our first visit to Encinitas and we're glad we went! It's such a modern yet cozy vibe, with indoor and outdoor seating. Service is fat and friendly, and food was excellent. I had the corned beef hash with a side of fruit while my husband tried the açaí bowl. The corned beef was not greasy or too salty, just the right amount of crust. They even gave me some honey to go with my toast upon request. The açaí was SO SMOOTH; the only surprise was the granola being on the bottom! Oh we also shared a honey latte, not too sweet!!! Highly recommend for a casual but adorable meal. Street parking only. We were lucky to find a spot immediately since we went early! read more

The restaurant is right in Encinitas and we found it walking by all the stores and restaurants. It had been recommend by a friend of ours so we wanted to try it out. It's decorated nicely with both indoor and shaded outdoor seating. One thing to note is you're supposed to order first and then you get seated. So make sure to look at the menu while in line. The food is great and their burgers and sandwiches are unexpectedly delicious. The fries here are my favorite kind of fries, very crispy. The omelet was also very good, the artichokes went well with it. It's a great spot in the area and we will return. read more

Great breakfast food! It's a walk up order then find a seat type restaurant. Definitely recommend!!

I saw this place on Instagram, so I wanted my kids and I to try it out. I'll be we were told they were only offering to go orders, but it was not yet 3 o'clock so to be honest, I was disappointed. The host was friendly, it was just disappointing. We weren't able to get a table. Because we returned away I'm not sure I would try it again. read more

Really cute vibe, it's right by the beach, there's ample parking. The service was okay. I know it was a busy morning when we went, but the staff wasn't like overly peppy or helpful. They kind of did the bare minimum. I know they were busy so I'm not cutting them down for that. The food was good, not great. Surprisingly, the coffee was the best part of the meal. read more

We arrived on a Sunday for brunch. We found street parking about a block away. It seemed all the breakfast/brunch places were busy today. We ordered the matcha latte (w/almond milk, house coffee, the green omelette, and the seafood omelette (both with egg white). We were given a number to put on our table. We were able to find seating inside but there was plenty of seating outside, but only briefly. The coffee and water is self serve unless you get a specialty coffee. Our order arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I enjoyed my egg white omelette and matcha latte. The omelette wasn't heavy, but a good amount of food for me. The feta helped a lot with the flavoring. The feta wasn't evenly spread out inside, so I adjusted it and it tasted much better when I adjusted the coverage of feta. My husband enjoyed his seafood omelette. The cheese was a bit much for him so he just removed some of it. He liked that he was able to go and fill up his coffee rather than waiting for someone to fill it. Overall our experience with the place and food was good. We would add this place on our list to return to again. read more

The food here is okay, there's not much to rave about. There was a line, it moved pretty quickly. The flavors were a bit odd for the lobster Benedict, somehow it was on the sweeter side.

The cappuccino's we ordered were fine and all of the servers/employees were so kind! The atmosphere is great, but unfortunately the food was really disappointing. Considering there are so many great reviews of this place, I'm wondering if it's just what we ordered? The asparagus on the lobster Benedict was hardly cooked so the texture was really awful. The lobster tasted a little fishy too, which made me nervous. The steak was way overcooked and every bite was really chewy. The potatoes were also just ok -- not crispy at all, just kind of mushy. read more

The flavors were definitely there and had a homey feel to the ingredients and presentation. I would say the portions are not too large as I would have liked. I do appreciate the amount of space there is and the order-up-front design. The service was quick and easy going as well. I would probably want to go to cocina de barrio though if i were to choose again. read more

We were walking around Encinitas looking for a breakfast spot and stumbled on Honey's! They have a huge menu with lots of selections, everyone would be able to find something they liked! We got the ABC scramble and the Farmers Scramble. We sat outside on a gorgeous day and the food came out quick. These were cooked to perfect, they come with toast and a fruit cup. Most breakfast places have lame fruit cups but this one had all my favorites and was so fresh! Will definitely be returning next time we're in the area! read more

So unfriendly! No wonder they ask for a tip at the register before bringing the food. Not going back. The restaurant was pretty much empty around 8 am on Saturday when I walked in, the waitresses kept ignoring customers waiting to be sited. The kitchen messed up my order and brought over-hard instead of poached eggs. When I pointed to the mistake the waiter seemed annoyed with me. The food is average. The service is unfriendly. My mistake for picking it in a city that has so much more to offer. read more

I've been going to Honey's for over 10 years. It used to be really consistent and high quality. Everytime you went you knew you were getting a great meal. Unfortunately, that's not the case anymore. The past few times I've gone the food has come out inconsistent quality (sometimes it's good, sometimes it's average at best) and someone in my party has been unhappy with their food. I went a few days ago and they messed up both my mom's order and mine. I brought it to their attention and the response I got was "we will let the cook know they messed it up." They made no attempt to actually remedy the situation which was kind of surprising and disappointing. With so many other options out there for breakfast/lunch, I won't be frequenting Honey's again anytime soon. read more

Honey's is my Goto breakfast place when I'm looking for that special flare. A place that isn't the same o same o breakfast lineup. The vegetarian omelette is awesome along with the asparagus omelette. Simply amazing!! Every bite melts in the mouth. I tell all my friends and every one of them said they loved the food. Don't forget about lunch. Just as good with variety! read more

You have to pre-pay. And add a tip before you have the entire experience. It's the opposite of why people tip. Two breakfast meal ordered. I had the steak and eggs. The steak was extremely fatty, every small bite was fatty. The potatoes were not crispy enough, like you would expect. The coffee was a 6 out of 10. The ambience was good and friendly staff. But, unfortunately for a $60 breakfast for 2, I expect the meals to be very good. So, I wouldn't be going back. read more

My sister brought me here for brunch and it was the perfect spot. We were in a short line just to order our food, but they give you a number and bring out your items to you. They are quick which making it and bringing it out. The variety of items is impressive and love that they have breakfast and lunch foods. There are tables indoors and outdoors. We picked out a nice table outside with some sun and some shade. We split an açaí bowl and got the seafood omelette and potatoes and the wheat toast. I also had the honey latte and it was delicious. The food was flavorful and fantastic. The seafood omelette had pieces of shrimp and lobster and there was no skimping on that. I would have no problem coming back and ordering other items. read more
