Had lunch at Honey's, what a great place, right on PCH in Encinitas. Very dog friendly as we ate on the patio. We split the mushroom, spinach, chicken quesadilla. Excellent. Included a large side salad. The service was excellent as well. Definitely order the House Iced Tea, it has a terrific flavor, possibly clove and cinnamon. Would definitely go back. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great breakfast spot! I hadn't been here in several years but was in the area. They remolded the entire inside. Lots of seating and options on the patio as well. The menu is massive, so many tasty options. Cocktails and coffee as well. Servers were friendly. The location is nice right on the 101. Lots of shops and fun spots walking distance. 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

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

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Honeys. It was our first time eating here. We ordered Chilaquiles, French Toast, and the Italian Spinach omelet. Pictures are provided. The wait was short, staff was accommodating and friendly. Temperature was San Diego open air. Dogs were present outside in the patio which was literally on PCH sidewalk. Walkers and joggers pass through. Sound level was the quietest among all the other SD restaurants this weekend, very walkable. Food was fresh, hot temperature, on clean dishes, appropriately portioned and shareable. Ingredients were balanced and of high quality. Experience and skill in food design and preparation was apparent. Great place to meet and talk with 2 to 8 people and seems child friendly. Water tasted pleasant, which means food is cooked with good stock. Facilities were clean, stocked, and maintained for the most part. A few noted items need freshening and/or repair. Recorded dB levels were 65 to 75. 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. Also the food came out lukewarm and wasn't too appetizing with how they presented it. The prices were very reasonable though. 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

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

We've been to many of the breakfast spots on this particular block of Encinitas. This was the last one we wanted to try and stopped there before heading onward. Honey's Bistro was a nice place.

It was good food and a nice day outside. I'd definitely tell people to come by. read more

This review is primarily based on the chilaquiles, which were not to my taste. I specifically requested no onions but still received them plus had kale or some leafy green in the verde sauce. It was spicier than expected as well. Saying that, my mom had the two egg breakfast and loved it and I appreciated the friendly and efficient service. An indoor party left so we were able to snag an inside table instead of braving the cold outside. read more

Decided to come here for brunch with my girls. I've heard about to online and seen so much hype. I'm gonna start off with the good: The place is really good for big group and a chill, laid back outing. The location is fun too, there is lots of places to shop afterwards. I also liked that they had a big menu, so it's perfect for those who aren't too sure what they're feeling, or picky/ light eaters. Now the not so great: As a coffee lover, the coffee just wasn't it I got the lobster Benny and it was okay. My friends felt the same about their food, pretty basic overall. I was expecting a lot more from all the hype I seen online and based on the prices of certain things. That said, the drinks and mimosas looked really good, so I'd come back for those if I'm in the area. I rate it a 3 just because it wasn't the best but it also wasn't the worst read more

On a main street in Encinitas, it's not uncommon to see a long line. I got here around 11:30, and placed my order just after 12:00, so the line can be a bit slow. The ordering process is very fast-casual with ordering at the counter and having things brought to your table. The space inside is nice, but seating is limited and may be difficult since you can't reserve a seat. We ended up having to sit at one of their outdoor tables fully in the sun, as they only cover the larger tables with umbrellas. The mimosas were very cute, and the food did come out pretty quickly for us. My friend did not have any complaints about the chilaquiles aside from it having kale. I was very disappointed in my order. I ordered the steak eggs Benedict with a fruit cup for the side. On delivery, there were two napkins under the fruit cup and both were dirty/looked used. The steak itself was cooked fine, but large fat caps were left on which resulted in very unpleasant bites. I took off about 2oz of fat from the 8oz portion they state on their menu. The eggs were cooked well, but shell was somehow left in the poached eggs; I had a few bites where I crunched down unexpectedly. read more

I'm a sucker for a good breakfast, especially when they have an al fresco dining option. Honey's was good, there was a line but plenty of seating options. It's order and pay at the cashier then they bring out the food to you. Nice patio seating area that's puppy friendly and spacious right off the 101. I was overloaded by their menu but in a good way. They literally have something for everyone which is wonderful, except when you don't know what you want to order. I love asparagus and Benedicts are my go to so veggie Benedict it was! It didn't take too long to come out and when it did, it was beautiful. Unfortunately our order wasn't right, my friend ordered fruit vs potatoes, I asked for hollandaise on the side, it was served on and both of our potatoes were very well done, but all in all, it was a tasty meal. read more
