Clark Street Diner

The longtime 101 Coffee Shop now has a fresh coat of paint, a well-stocked pastry case and the same old-school fare in the care of Zack Hall and the team behind Clark Street Bakery, and that's exactly how we like it. Unlike a true greasy spoon, the no-frills breakfast food is carefully cooked and seasoned—meaning you'll have a delicious meal here, every time, plus access to some of the city's finest pastries. These days, Clark Street Diner stays open until 9pm five days of the week, with an evening dinner menu of American comfort food classics that includes pasta, chicken parm, burgers and ribs. For more casual counter service, head to the Clark Street outposts in Echo Park, Brentwood and Beverly Hills where you can enjoy fried egg sandwiches and housemade bagels with lox in a quicker, more takeout-friendly patio setting.
