    My new #1 brunch spot in Encinitas! I stumbled upon this gem right on the 101 in the heart of Encinitas, and I am so glad I did! It's a newer spot in town, but it already feels like a local favorite. The atmosphere is cozy yet modern, with a laid-back coastal vibe that fits Encinitas perfectly. The menu is impressively diverse--whether you're craving something sweet, savory, healthy, or indulgent, there's truly something for everyone. The food was delicious--each dish we ordered was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and the portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming. The drinks are just as impressive as the food. They have a wide variety of cocktails and fun brunchy beverages that taste as good as they look. Perfect for a chill weekend vibe or a brunch date with friends. The staff deserves a shoutout too--everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and on point with service. You can really tell they care about creating a great experience. This place has officially become my go-to brunch spot. If you're anywhere near Encinitas, do yourself a favor and stop by--you won't regret it!

    French OG

    A Little Moore Café is such a sweet new spot in Leucadia. My boyfriend and I split the French OG breakfast sandwich and added a side of sausage and drip coffees. The savory-sweet combo on that sandwich was yummy! Think rich egg, melty cheese, and just a hint of sweetness from the French toast-style bread. If you're thinking of tackling it solo, come hungry... it's a big one! The drip coffee was solid -- nothing fancy, more of a classic diner cup. Staff were super welcoming and friendly, and the whole place has a really cute, surfy retro feel. Loved the music they had playing in the background. It's a newer spot, so I'm excited to see how it grows, but they're off to a great start. I'll definitely be back to try the breakfast burrito next time!

    This little cafe is a slightly elevated diner. I would say it's more of a 3.5/5 overall. $44 for 2 meals and 2 coffees. The portions here are XL, so a fair price in my opinion. The breakfast burrito was near perfection and was made better with the salsa. The pancakes were fluffy and tasty, but the syrup isn't good quality. Nice staff and quick service. Not the best breakfast I've ever had, but it was definitely good. Would come back!

    Went down to the SD area to meet my cousin. We found this joint on yelp and thought we'd check it out. I ordered the Bob's S lam which was pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage. I must say it didn't hit the spot. I don't know if places take pancakes for granted, but these were definitely over mixed They were very rubbery(for lack of a better word) and the edges weren't fully cooked. The sausages were dead cold. I understand they've only been open for a few weeks and that's why they got 3 stars instead of less. Our server was really good and didn't make an excuse for missing something on the order. My cousins steak was definitely cooked well done instead of medium, but the chilequilles were really good. People always say did you send it back, but I never do and have my own reasons...

    Good customer service! This was our first time here. They have a small outside patio. We didn't bring dogs, but we noticed that dogs are allowed. You can also get an outside vibe with their garage door that lifts up for an outdoor breeze for those inside. The food was delicious. My daughter raved about the tofu glaze plate and my husband loved the steak breakfast burrito! We ordered 4 plates that were about $88 total. Each plate is about $19-$20. On our way out we smelled chilaquiles and they smelled delicious! You will have to find street parking, as they do not have a designated parking space. But, we were able to find parking easily. As we were leaving it was getting busy (this was at about 10am). Highly recommend.

    Coolest New Place with an Old school flair. They use to be down the street. Jen's the best. Super fun personality!! Great smile, with the best attitude. Super customer friendly.

    My my my! There is nothing better than a diner feel with an upscale take that doesn't lose the nostalgia. This cafe is my new favorite and will be my go to! These were perfectly fried eggs and THE BEST hash browns. The staff is friendly and great to talk with. They know and love their menu, so ask them what to get and be wowed! The California Benedict is fantastic!

    Carne Asada fries

    The carne asada fries and classic burger were both delicious! The fries were crispy and full of flavor. I'm definitely planning to come back and try their breakfast.

    Right off the bat Server Sebastian was super friendly and welcoming. The place was very clean and well kept which is never a bad sign! I went with my go to country fried steak which was delicious! You could really tell the steak was fresh and not some frozen junk, hash browns were nice and crispy to my liking. Very happy and great first experience dining here. I'll definitely be back to try out the lunch menu

When you mix up the egg with the seasoning and the labneh, and dip the bread in it, it bursts with flavor. The croissant sandwich was so light and flaky and there was not a surplus of ham, just the right amount. The aioli and the lettuce and cheese made this a standout breakfast sandwich. Also had a vitality tonic: goldenrod and it was tasty. I'd like to go back and try the Sienna next time. Highly recommend making a reservation.

It's easier for them and easier for us - they can count how many people are coming & you don't have to worry about waiting an hour. Vibes are great. Food is lovely (though expensive!). My fave dish was the amazing summer porridge. Sure it's $32 for the dish - but this is a Michelin-quality place (Bib Gourmand, not a star) so not for every day and it was delicious. Basically like a risotto, ate every grain. Check out the gorgeous pic! People are high on the Turkish eggs - but I thought they were meh, and tiny for $23. Not one of the best values here, IMHO. We wanted to try the vaunted French toast, but they had run out by the time of our reservation. On the recommendation of our server & my friend Jiansen in his review here, we also ordered the Pistachio Bread Pudding. It was beautiful, tasty, light and photo worthy! And also on Jiansen's rec, I tried the jasper, which was like a cold coffee mocktail on the rocks (steady state coffee. cherry. chaga. vanilla. rose vinegar. lemon). Tasty and interesting! We really liked the vibes too. They take reservations for 1:30 pm, though they're closing technically at 2. The manager (whose name I am forgetting - but he is from Philly and super nice!) told us "they don't close" and we could sit and enjoy & not be in their way while they closed up, but a few of the other staff members seemed to be wanting us to leave. So keep that in mind if you get one of the last reservations; lingering with a friend might be a bit challenging. But we had a great time, and I especially enjoyed the summer porridge. I'll definitely come again (and know I should make a reservation) - but it's probably better to come earlier before they run out of anything & before we're in their way while they're cleaning up! Oh - and parking can be a real challenge. Come early and check out the side streets!

We were seated on the patio--which was fine because we had our 2 year old with us--but it was 80 degrees out and not a lot of air flow. Our server's name was Kyra or Kyla--I'm not too sure because it was hard to hear her over the music playing. She was nice enough but there must've been sort of disconnect with our toddler's meal. Either she forgot to put it in the POS system and asked the kitchen to quick fire it or the kitchen was in the weeds and we weren't made aware of the situation. Nonetheless, we purposely put the kid's burger in when we put our appetizer in. Her burger didn't come out until 45 minutes after the appetizer got to our table! I'm not exaggerating either--515 we got our fries and then at 6pm a child's hamburger...on a Tuesday! Our entrees were finished and we asked for the bill before it even came out. I shouldn't have had to check on it as a server's job is to know what your table has ordered and make sure it actually gets to the table. I'm extremely disappointed that there was no apology, no discount or comp. to our meal because of this mistake. We won't be returning.

Rather than addressing the issues I raised--food quality, cleanliness, and child safety--they chose to dismiss a customer's honest feedback. Reviews exist to help businesses improve and to inform other customers about their experiences. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful; I was sharing what we genuinely experienced. A professional response would have acknowledged the concerns or explained how they planned to address them. Instead, the dismissive reply speaks volumes about how customer feedback is valued here.
