Quaint little place in a busy part of Encinitas. The service is very friendly and attentive to your experience. The food is better, much better, than regular mom and pop diner food but for about the same price. Menu is somewhat extensive but that allows for ppl of all wants to be satiated. A good diner that I would be happy to eat at again.

In the heart of Encinitas with indoor seating and outdoor sidewalk seating. Cute place with delicious Baked Apple Pancake’s that were delicious and takes about 25 minutes to bake but totally worth the wait! Good service and location is nice for enjoying a coffee while people watching.

I came here for brunch. Tons of menu selections, fast service and good portions. I tried the carnitas eggs Benedict. It didn’t wow me so I’m heading back to try a new dish but the potatoes were killer.

We sat at a table and waited for about 10 minutes while the waitress conversed with the table next to us. Unfortunately, no one came over to greet us or take our drink order. It was quite disappointing. This visit occurred on June 29, 2024, at 11 AM.
