The 101 Diner on South Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district serves all-day breakfast from a compact counter-and-table format decorated with surf memorabilia and vintage Americana. San Diego County's Department of Environmental Health assigns the kitchen a 96 out of 100 inspection score, and the menu runs from house-made hollandaise Benedicts to Hawaiian pancakes with coconut syrup — a diner program that contrasts with the Neapolitan-style pies at Firenze Trattoria further south on the 101. The Cardiff Crack Benedict tops its poached eggs with Seaside Market's famous Cardiff Crack tri-tip, layering the cured beef over an English muffin with hollandaise. A handful of sidewalk tables give the diner its outdoor footprint along Coast Highway 101 near Moonlight Beach, drawing the same early-morning foot traffic as Sushi Lounge Encinitas draws for dinner. Cinnamon roll pancakes arrive with a cream cheese drizzle piped over a triple stack, using a brioche-weight batter griddled to order on a flat-top calibrated for even caramelization.
