    Coffee bar

    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!

    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!

    Chicken Breast Sandwich
    Haylee M.

    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.

    Brioche cream cheese filled French toast
    Janelle P.

    The best French toast I've ever had! We were in and out on a Tuesday morning, very fast service!

    One of the best breakfast spots I've ever been to. They also have really nice outdoor seating and fast service. Great spot all around!

    California Chicken Wrap with Salad
    Becky L.

    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.

    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.

    Chocolate chip pancakes

    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.

    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.

    Artichoke Chicken Sausage Omelette Artichoke Chicken Sausage Omelette and Tuna Melt
    Araceli P.

    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.

    Acai Bowl
    Trevor T.

    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!

    Corned Beef Hash
    Samantha C.

    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!

    Chilaquiles
    Dominique Z.

    Woah! Some of the best breakfast in Encinitas. Unreal vibes, super friendly staff and freshly made/hot breakfast of all sorts. Definitely try the chilaquiles. Will be back for an omelette or eggs Benedict soon!

    Who doesn't love a good diner? Peek inside and the place looks like it stepped out of the distant…read morepast, maybe the 1950s or the 1960s. Surely they are masters at greasy bacon and eggs, day old coffee, and probably little else. Wrong. Very wrong. This place may look a little ordinary from the outside but there is nothing ordinary about it. It may look like a classic diner inside but it does not sling food like an old diner. The menu is well-written and the food is high quality, excellent, and borderline gourmet. Do not order eggs, bacon, and toast here. Swing for the cheap seats. We tried the Ham, Avocado and Tomato Eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was fantastic. If I didn't care about remaining somewhere under 350 pounds, I would return every Saturday and eat my way through every single eggs benedict concoction on the menu and there are many such benedict creations from which to choose. The Banana Nutella crepe, with "whip" cream (not "whipped," apparently, we're gentle with our cream here, folks), was decadent. If you like your breakfasts on the sweet side, you will enjoy this one. The Tres Porkitos omelet (made with ham, bacon, sausage, and cheese) was hearty and just as good as it sounds. The breakfast potatoes were very nicely done but could have used a little more seasoning. There is a salt shaker (and numerous hot sauces) on the table for just these types of emergencies. Do NOT leave here without getting a freshly-made biscuit with butter and honey on the side. You have made a serious error in judgment if you leave without getting one of these. Even the freshly-squeezed orange juice was delicious. Our server was wonderful. No complaints. They have dining inside or on the patio. Encinitas is a delightful community. While I loved the old school diner feel inside, you cannot go wrong with the people watching outside on one of our almost always sunny days in So Cal. If you live here, you already pay the Sunshine Tax so get your money's worth and sit outside, if you can. 10 stars.

    Best eggs Benedict in town by far choose anyone of several varieties of these Benedict and you will…read moreget a taste treat you'll remember for a long time, looks like an old-time diner for sure, the service is always great.
