About

Honey's Bistro & Bakery on South Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district has served breakfast and lunch along the historic 101 corridor since the early 1990s. All baked goods — scones, muffins, and brioche — come from an in-house bakery that produces each morning alongside a fresh-squeezed juice and smoothie bar rivaling dedicated cold-press operations like Fountain of Youth Juice in the same community. The breakfast menu runs more than 20 items deep, including a stuffed brioche French toast, chilaquiles Benedict, and a rotating eggs Benedict lineup that has become a benchmark for the Encinitas brunch scene. Counter-service ordering feeds an indoor-outdoor floor plan on the 101 between D and E Streets, placing the bistro in the same Old Encinitas dining block where Firenze Trattoria anchors the evening Italian service. Highest-complexity production includes laminated brioche dough proofed overnight for the French toast program and a house-made hollandaise emulsified to order across six concurrent Benedict variations.
