AMAZING food and service. Will be back. 10/10 Mary took care of my wife and I, and we couldn't have had a more pleasant experience read more

Our first time here and the food was great. We got the steak eggs Benny and my husband wanted it medium rare closer to the rare side and it was perfect. All are items were delicious. We would come back again. 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

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

I didn't realize it was fast casual service before coming up and realizing I needed to decide what I wanted while waiting in line. Decent amount of seating since they utilize a big space outside even though inside is pretty small. If you want water, it's coming out of spout from a bucket. Coffee was self serve as well. I got the abc croissant sandwich and it seemed like the already buttery pastry had more butter added to it to get toasty. The corned beef hash didn't look anything like fresh/homemade but resembled canned meat instead. The fruit was actually the best part! Super fresh and delicious. Nothing tasted bad at all. We enjoyed our meal. But this place is way overhyped and I'll be trying other spots out when I'm in this area. read more

Chilaquiles were ok. The sauce wasn't so flavorful and chips got soggy underneath.. definitely not my go to. Benedict was pretty good. Pancakes were great, pretty standard. Steak was flavorful and tender. I would say overall pretty good but would choose somewhere else for higher quality for the same price. read more

There are a few breakfast/brunch spots around this area that are worth a visit and Honey's is definitely one of them. The vibes are modern and clean, with good food and friendly service. While they have both inside and outside seating, as well as taking over the establishment next door, this place gets busy and you'll often see a line out the door. I got a hazelnut latte to start and while it was definitely tasty, it was a tad sweet for me (I absolutely don't have a sweet tooth). We ordered the chilaquiles with verde sauce and the lobster eggs benedict. While both were pretty good, I'd say there wasn't anything that was amazing. I did love the verde sauce and the tortilla chips they used, however, when the food was served to us the chips were already soggy. The lobster tasted so good and the potatoes served with it were crispy and well seasoned. It may just be a me-thing, but overall I didn't love the texture of the lobster on this egg benedict. They have a pretty expansive menu and I'd love to come back next time and try a few other items when we visit SD. Overall a great place and it is definitely well-loved by locals and visitors. Thank you to the hardworking bus people for cleaning the tables so quickly and being so friendly. read more

Their brunch is so good! I can see why there is a line out the door! My friend got a Chai tea, while I opted for a hot chocolate. They added whipped cream and little flowers to my drink. We also got a couple of mocktails and they were both so beautifully decorated and so refreshing. For food, we shared the smoked salmon bagel and lox and red velvet waffles. Their presentation is on point! My waffles tasted as good as it looked. Too bad they are so far from me because I would definitely frequent this place if they were closer. read more

My friend and I love eating here when we're in the area - it's our go to breakfast spot: You go up to the register and order and they bring the food to you. The servers are warm and welcoming. It's a cute little restaurant along the 101, with large open windows, ceiling fans and a touch of plants here and there. Their avocado toast and ABC breakfast croissant are delicious! We never finish either because you get so much for what you pay for, which is great. The croissant is soft and flaky and the avocado inside as well as on the toast was perfectly ripe. The side of fruit is pretty good, I just wish the honeydew I've gotten in the past was a little sweeter. Besides that, Ive always been pretty content with whatever I get. They have to-go containers/bags, water glasses and a water dispenser out for convenience too. I can't wait to visit again! read more

I am very surprised that I have left a review previously as this is one of our go to places for breakfast. We typically walk the Cardiff coastal rail trail and then end up here for breakfast. They have multiple options and are very flexible to switch things up. Our go to is the chilaquiles and breakfast veggie quesadillas. Both super delicious. And don't forget their coffee. It is so so good. Their service is great. Stop by and you won't regret! read more

Tried this spot for my first time last week. I ordered the Benedict. I am a snob for Benedict's and really have high standards. This was a solid 8/10 for me. You have to order at the counter and seat yourself. Service was standard nothing special. But I will be coming back to try something new. read more

food is amazing great portions and tasty but the tables are absolutely fkn disgusting!!! There is food trapped in cracks, when we asked the girl to clean it none of it came off! They need to be power washed! read more

Huge menu, fast service, and great food! From breakfast to lunch Honey's has something for everyone. It's order at the counter and seat yourself, no wait for us late morning on a Saturday. Street parking but in downtown Encinitas so find a spot and enjoy the historic Main Street. read more

Dropped by a few days ago on our way to San Diego for the weekend. At first I wasn't too fond of waiting in line, ordering my food and drink and sitting down but it was prompt service! The food was delicious, i had the chorizo scramble and my partner enjoyed the abc sandwich. A lot of parking is offered near this restaurant since there's so much to do around encenitas. Definitely recommend read more

My wife and I came here for brunch and really enjoyed the upbeat vibes. Good music, good energy, good vibes. It's an order and sit type of spot and for how big the line was, we had no problem finding a spot to sit. We ordered a bottle of champagne for the mimosas (mango, orange,cranberry) all very good. We both ordered the El Paso Benedict and really enjoyed it. Solid brunch spots with plenty of options to select from the menu. Can't go wrong with this spot! read more

Food didn't only taste amazing, but was visually stimulating as well. I had the New Yorker sandwich and I felt like my mouth hit the lottery with every bite. Service without a doubt is . Donette is a pro at what she does! Outside seating was plentiful when we went but it was mid week right before the lunch rush. read more

First time at Honey's Bistro and it won't be the last. The service was quick and the food was delicious and hot. I had the breakfast quesadilla with a side potatoes, sour cream and their homemade green salsa. OMG! So delicious. They serve breakfast and lunch . They have a large menu with lots of wholesome and scupcious choices from pancakes to sandwiches and more. read more

Pros: dog friendly. Super friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Inside and outside seating. Big menu. Adult brunch beverages. Cons: order at the counter. Water, silverware, coffee all self-service. Got the lobster Benedict. The lobster was super salty, but when eaten with a bite of egg it was better. The hollandaise sauce was broke. Served with a side of fruit and it was a great selection of fruit . Would go again, just choose something else to eat. read more

Small cute place. The service was good, the girl who took our order was super personable. We sat inside since there was seating available, surprisingly the place wasn't packed maybe because it was still early. I ordered the salmon Benedict, the salmon was super salty. But I didn't say anything because I hate taking my food back. Our food order did come out quick so that was a plus. read more

Had a couple drinks and some light bites with some friends, sitting in the sun along the sidewalk outside the restaurant. After being seated by the host, order at the counter, and some almost-too-young-to-not-be-in-school surfer kids will bring out your order relatively fast. Be aware that Honey's is a breakfast/brunch place, so after 2pm, expect this place to be shuttered up. read more

Occasionally after a long rough shift, my coworkers and I will drop by here for breakfast, since we work night shift and get off during breakfast time. Service has always been absolutely delightful everytime we've been here. The staff is so accommodating and welcoming. The decor of the restaurant is trendy and overall, they provide such a welcoming and cozy atmosphere to unwind in. Food has always been on point everytime we've been here. Very tasty and comforting, with big portions that provide a second meal for many of us. We recently decided to try their mimosas and our server presented the juice in such an aesthetically pleasing way too. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. A small and cozy space with delicious food. You really can't go wrong here! read more

Perfect meals after a race. The mimosas where delicious. The omelet was good. The only thing missing was more potatoes. I believe this the waffle was the churro waffle and it was really good. The service was fast and good. It was perfect little brunch place. Go early because it gets busy. read more

I ordered the GF pancakes and i coulda sworn i was eating regular fluffy pancakes. When you get there, you order first and find a seat. They have plenty of seating inside, and love that they have additional outdoor seating. Service was great... will definitely be back! read more

I give it a 3 for the food and 4.8 for service and ambiance. I was surprised to see the sandwiches on simple white bread at a seemingly popular place. I was unimpressed by the food we had and wouldn't go back for the sandwich. Location was perfect & service was kind and helpful. Ambiance is cute and crammed where we were. Still a cute spot. read more

Food good...but be prepared to wait. Took 45 minutes for one Açaí bowl. Their handling of the situation was poor.

We got brunch here after our hike. You wait to order and then take a number and seat yourself. The interaction we had with the staff was super limited. The girl who took our order was helpful and nice but nothing extraordinary, didnt expect it to be either. We sat on the patio which was really nice. We got 2 omelets. Both of them were good, a tiny bit too wet for my liking but the flavors were great. Fruit was fresh. They have tons of options on their menu and that's something I appreciate at any establishment. Overall, it was a nice experience and although it wasnt anything amazing I would still come back to try their other options. read more

Nice place to come to for good food at reasonable prices with prompt and friendly service. The people watching is especially interesting if you sit out on the front patio. You place your order at the counter and they'll bring it to you. The Montreal steak salad was a hit at our table. The Eggs Benedict were good but would have been better with Canadian Bacon instead of the thinly sliced ham. The Chicken Santa Fe sandwich with side salad was tasty and generously portioned. Love the refill options. read more

They went down!! So sad. We always had breakfast here, as we work close by. Quality, service, and food... all went down. I love their location and menu, but food is horrible now read more

This place was amazing! I was visiting San Diego and on my last day I stopped here for breakfast. The Gluten free pancakes are the BEST i've ever had and we got seated almost immediately. The staff were super friendly and helpful and made sure our food was ok and that we were having a great dining experience. The bacon was crispy and the eggs were well seasoned and cooked. If I lived down here this would definitely be my go to! read more

This place has a lot of hype on social media so we decided to head in and give it a try. To order you review the menu, wait in line and then order at a register. From there they provide you with a number and you have to find a table. We went on a less busy weekday and it felt challenging to find a table without hovering. But many people do hover to snag a table. Our waitress was extremely friendly and our food and drinks came out relatively quickly once we found a place to sit. There is a unique coffee station with tons of options that we thought was super cool. The vibe is very calming and there are plants around the inside. The outside isn't as cute in terms of ambiance. The food was decent but underwhelming compared to how it was pictured on the social media posts we came across. It's pretty average for the price. I will say that the mimosas were SO cute and extra tasty. read more

Outstanding service. The line moves fast, you order first then sit . Food way great and coffee was perfect

Food is fantastic. Been here for 15 years and still come back whenever we can even though we have moved. Lobster Benedict is the best. Missed the old island decoration but something needed to update bc the old seating was very awkward. Service is always good, most of the time. read more

Absolutely love this restaurant! The food is delicious and the staff is always so sweet. Some of our favorite things to eat are the acai bowl and the french toast but you can go wrong with anything you order. Thanks for the great service and yummy food Honey's! read more

Created this account just so I could leave this review. New to the area, walked by this happening spot months ago and decided to give it a try. Been here 3x now, each time it just gets better. ( 2 out of the 3 times I've seen celebrities at Honeys! The first time I was there I saw country singer Hardy- 2nd time Joe Musgrove Padres Pitcher) It's a busy spot, with fantastic music which creates such a fun and lively vibe. You order at the counter and then you find a seat, which is great because it's quick and easy, pay for your own tab and then when you're done eating you just get up and leave. I LOVE their acai bowl. They have a coffee bar with different types of coffee. I do believe it's all you can drink. We had their chilaquiles Verdes. (The sauce was so GOOD) We also had their Denver eggs benedict, it was bomb with the thick Canadian bacon + loaded with a bunch of grilled veggies. The only thing - my English muffin was not toasted well but the staff was so accommodating they happily made me a new one, even though they were super busy. The older lady with dark hair is a riot - as well as the rest of the staff! you can tell that everybody enjoys working there. we like observing their banter and they get customers to chime in on their pretend drama. Almost feels like we are at a comedy show- It really is a fun spot (everybody that works there is super cute too) If there's a long line don't let that scare you off. The line moves quick and the turnover on tables happens really fast Enjoy! read more

This Encinitas hot spot serves breakfast all day! And there is a line to order, then you find your own table and they bring the food to you. The prices are very reasonable and the food is good, generous portions. I had the Breakfast croissant sandwich with fruit. This seemed like a four egg sandwich! Huge. Tasty. Filling. My friend had the French Toast with a side of eggs and bacon. The eggs and bacon were great. The French Toast is more toast than eggs. They could soak the bread a bit longer. But good bread, like a brioche, egg bread. read more

The food was terrible. We got avocado toast and it was hard and rubbery. I could not even cut it in half. It was like chewing a piece of gum. The burrito was greasy and the cup of fruit had about 5 pieces of fruit. To top it off their bathroom was out of order. I wish they would have let us know that when we came to place our order. I would have gone elsewhere as we have a 2 year old that is potty training. My daughter asked to go to the bathroom after we were there waiting for our food for over half an hour and they told me then that it was out of order. We had to run out of the restaurant to find a bathroom and my daughter peed all over me because we could not get to one in time. Won't be coming back here. read more

I'm always in search of a great breakfast sandwich. I think I found it! The ABC was full of avocado and bacon, with a little hot sauce this quickly became my favorite croissant sando. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather and music from the next door taco shop. The mimosa was a great touch too. Definitely will be back to try their eggs bene's and lunch menu. The staff was very helpful at the counter as well. read more

Decent brunch spot along highway 101. Very aesthetic. I just wish the food was as good as the ambiance. Honey's Bistro is a breakfast/lunch spot in downtown Encinitas. Their menu offers omelettes, waffles, pancakes, burgers, sandwiches, and an impressive selection of brewed coffee. I got the El Paso Benedict and a cappuccino. Wife ordered the Steak Benedict with homestyle potatoes. Our orders arrived quickly. I thought the cappuccino was excellent. The benedict, though beautiful, left us wanting. I wish they used thicker english muffins. The potatoes had a somewhat off-putting texture and lacked some flavor. Thank goodness they provided hot sauce. The hollandaise was good. Service was excellent. Staff was attentive and friendly. Parking was a challenge. It's street parking. You may have to circle around or park farther away. Honey's Bistro is a beautiful place, but not worth the trip or the parking hassle for me. read more
