Clark Street Diner, an offshoot of Clark Street Bread, is coming to Hollywood at 6145 Franklin Ave.
The new diner will replace Hollywood’s beloved 101 Coffee Shop, which closed in January, sometime in Fall 2021. After two decades in that location, the coffee shop closed permanently due to the pandemic. Clark Street Diner will be open for both breakfast and lunch, but not any dinner or late-night service to start.
Clark Street Diner comes from owner Zack Hall, the mastermind behind Clark Street Bread. Hall opened the restaurant back in 2014 and has opened three other locations since. Now, the baker turned owner gets ready to replace an iconic cafe in Los Angeles. 101 Coffee Shop came to fame by being seen in the background of the film Swingers. The well-known interior recognized by many will remain the same, but the menu is expected to change. “We’re just going to freshen it up a little bit,” Hall told LA Magazine.
Instead of the artisanal bakery that Hall has become known for, this location will feature traditional diner-style items. Some expected menu items include pancakes, waffles, breakfast sandwiches, hash browns, and french toast. Although the new menu will be a little sweeter than the previous tenant’s, the restaurant will use carefully sourced ingredients such as organic eggs, Hobbs’ bacon, Tehachapi Heritage Grain Project Sonoran flour.
