Chinese salad
Sage S.

Just updating my previous review. This time sat down to eat instead of take out. Outdoors was modestly decorated. Service was fast, we got our food quickly. I had the white hot chocolate with regular milk which was so delicious. Also had the Niçoise salad which was a large portion & so tasty! Loved every bite.

This place is so cute! They have great breakfast options and the staff is very friendly. This is a wonderful community cafe for locals. It caters especially well to regulars who want a community spot as the customers are friendly and the staff is welcome and create an atmosphere that invites but doesn't require people to start up conversations with each other. Those just interested in the food will be very happy with both their mainstay crowd pleasers and their own unique takes on common breakfast dishes. The unique oatmeal is a must try too. Wonderful place!

eggs laguna (tomato lovers choice), cappuccino w/soy milk, and chorizo omelet. I brought my own coconut water.

Favorite Breakfast Spot, really enjoy the location, and great vibes. The fruit is always a great touch on the plate, and I thought the eggs were cooked perfectly. Love seeing regulars come here and know I am going to have consistency. The boutique inside is also taseful and hand selected pieces are unique.

Pretty decent cafe/brunch spot. There's outdoor seating where you can people watch and busy atmosphere of Laguna. Their food is healthy and fresh. Their pastries goes well with their coffee.... Service is quick-order at the counter, they'll give you a number so they can bring it to your table.

Having hot and cold drinks outdoor but under a nice canopy.

My friend and I stopped by Anastasia in Laguna Beach and had a lovely, casual meal. You order at the counter and then sit wherever you like, which gives the place a relaxed, beach-town vibe. The service was great -- friendly and efficient, which made the visit even more enjoyable. We shared the tuna sandwich first. It was delightfully crunchy and packed with flavor in every bite -- bold tuna, bright seasonings, and great texture. My only quibble was the bread: it was quite hard and very toasted. I would have preferred a softer, less toasted roll to better complement the tender filling, but that's a personal preference and plenty of people will enjoy the extra crunch. We also tried the mixed mushroom pasta, which was satisfying and far from dull. It was packed with mushroom flavor -- earthy and hearty -- exactly what you want when you're hungry and craving comfort food. Overall, Anastasia offers tasty, well-flavored dishes in a laid-back setting with great service. If you like your sandwiches extra crunchy, you'll love the tuna here; if you prefer a softer bite, you might ask for less toasting. The mushroom pasta is a solid choice for a filling, flavorful meal.

Sunday morn. Good day to grab some breakfast and Anastasia is always in one of my choices for breakfast. Good location, good food, and good service. Indoor or outdoors, especially in the late to post summer months from August to October. Parking is metered parking for the most part anywhere in Laguna Beach but there should be ample during these timeframes. Overall, always a place to return to.

Chinese Chicken Salad
Mike N.

Laguna Beach, Ca. This place is a great destination for locals. It's just a bit beyond what the tourists are willing to walk. You can come here for lunch on a Saturday or Sunday and sit right on down. I have been ordering the chicken penne with artichokes as of late. It comes out piping hot and stays that way for quite awhile. The sauce is great too. The Eggs Laguna is an artistic creation and is awesome. Lattes are consistently rich and delicious. There are several servers that are highly attentive. It is unlikely that a completed dish will remain on the table long. Even though most of the tables are outside, somehow they do a good job keeping the flys and other obnoxious insects from helping themselves.

Covered patio area

Been to this place a couple of times and enjoyed it each time. You queue to order and pay and they bring your order to your table. Staff are nice and they go around checking if you're okay or need anything at good intervals during your meal. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It's almost always a lovely day at Laguna Beach and so it's nice to eat al fresco. They have a covered outdoor area and they also have little tables outside with umbrellas. Today I had Eggs Laguna which I managed to finish all by myself. Nice combo of poached eggs, avocados, basil, toast, tomatoes and seasonal fruit (it's cantaloupe this time). My husband had the Anastasia omelette which he also enjoyed. He ordered a side of toast with it. For drinks we had iced tea and freshly squeezed orange juice. It was a nice brunch on a nice spring day at Laguna Beach!

Poached eggs
Z A.

The food was extremely tasty. Good portion size. Lots of vegetarian options. I ordered the portobello mushroom sandwich. My friend ordered a poached egg. We both had iced tea. And ordered a lemon bar. I love the ambience as you can sit either inside or outside and watch the people. The service was good. I would love to come back.

Cesar Salad
Breanna W.

We stopped in here for an early lunch and decided to split a Caesar salad and a pizza. I have never had a Cesar salad with tomato's on it before, and the dressing was not traditional Caesar so that also caught us off guard. It tasted good, just wasn't what we were expecting! The pizza was nothing special. It had a thin crust and it tasted good as well. Our friend got the chicken panini and said hit was incredible. The gentleman behind the country was not-not friendly, but as we explored the menu he wasn't much help either. The bus boys though were awesome!! They filled our waters, got milk for our coffee, checked in on us. Overall there are better places in the area we'd go to next time.

Egg plate with their version of French toast Waffles Orange Juice Chamomile tea Fruit
Lauren N.

To start: their version of French toast is Devine!!! 10/10, and they give you a caramel syrup for it Their OJ was not my favorite but it is definitely fresh!! The way they presented my fruit was wonderful and I didn't expect that. The service was unexpectedly great! I thought it would be a self serve sorta situation but they were super friendly and helpful

Fisherman's Feast with two mimosas
Megan M.

Came to this cafe the other day with my best friend and let me tell you what a wonderful pick it was! We both ordered the Fisherman's Feast, it came out promptly with kind service. Both of us cleared the plate, the flavors were balanced and fresh. Can't wait to be back! Recommending this to my parents immediately

Alexandra W.

Walk-up to order and pay, then wait a lifetime to get your brunch... the gingerbread waffles were cold, latte was decent and slightly bitter - the star dish was the breakfast combo my mom ordered - crispy battered French toast. Nice plating presentation. There are nicer options for breakfast nearby, so probably wouldn't return.

A Convenient Breakfast Spot in Laguna Beach!…read more Cafe Heidelberg is conveniently located on the corner of Coast Highway, making it an easily accessible breakfast spot in Laguna Beach. Being just a two-minute walk from our stay made it an ideal choice for a quick and relaxing morning meal. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made for a pleasant experience. We visited during peak breakfast hours, so unfortunately, outdoor seating wasn't available. We ended up sitting inside, where it was a tad warm, making an iced coffee an absolute necessity! My wife ordered the Breakfast Croissant, while I went with the California Burrito. Both were enjoyable, although neither particularly stood out. The croissant was good, and the burrito benefited tremendously from the salsa, which added a much-needed boost of flavor. However, the bacon and potatoes inside the burrito were a little too hard for my liking, taking away from an otherwise satisfying breakfast. Drinks * Iced Vanilla Latte -- 8/10 Food * Breakfast Croissant -- 7/10 * California Burrito -- 7/10 Overall Rating: 3.8/5 Cafe Heidelberg is a solid breakfast option, especially for those staying nearby or exploring Laguna Beach on foot. The friendly service, convenient location, and delicious iced latte were the highlights of our visit. While the food had some room for improvement, it was still an enjoyable experience. I'd recommend stopping by for a casual breakfast or coffee, particularly if you can snag a seat outside!

We sat at the bar, and the bartenders would have our "regular" drinks prepared almost before we sat down. We live in Laguna and had never been to Nicks here in Laguna! The food was a "B-" compared to our other experiences at Nicks in Pasadena. We asked for a quiet cozy table, and we were put next to the kitchen. It was so loud we could not hear each other speak. We had to ask to be moved outside which was not much better. If you are looking for cozy and quiet, this is not the place. If you want the loud bar scene, this is perfect for you. We will go back on a cold rainy night in the winter which should be better. Sorry Nick.

I love blue cheese, but am not the biggest fan of fried chicken with cheese on it. This combo flipped me on my head, so delicious with the blue cheese slaw. The Mac & cheese was almost like a hybrid of a baked Mac and a gooier stovetop style Mac, and the six cheese blend added a lot of depth of flavor. We have already agreed that we will be back at least once more while we're down here for the chicken sandwich again.
