Clark Street Diner revives the much-loved 101 Coffee Shop with the same look and even sharper cooking.
Lately a common refrain runs through morning text exchanges with friends who are longtime Angelenos. It starts with me asking if they want to meet for breakfast at Clark Street Diner.“You probably do. It’s the former 101 Coffee Shop across from Hollywood Tower. The owner of Clark Street Bread took over. Looks the same.”Even if you never physically visited the 101 Coffee Shop , you may still know the place.
You can start with these — and order a cold brew or a cortado — as you put your name down for a table. The wait is usually short and the people watching is prime: Everyone’s back. There’s a rightness to seeing the room full again. It has the old energy, the feeling that the Capitol Records Building is less than half a mile away and the heartbeat of Tinseltown almost within earshot.
Since the owner runs one of the city’s most respected bakeries, it is almost redundant to say that the bread is excellent. Hall’s plush sourdough crisps handsomely; the avocado toast, sprinkled with mild chile flakes, transcends clichés and tedium. I prefer the cheesy, oniony punch of a patty melt over the just-fine burger, and vegans can have a Beyond Burger counterpart on sourdough.
