Breakfast bowl
Vivi H.

A great start to our Sunday morning at Boardriders Cafe! We loved the space - it's cute, beachy, laid-back, and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered the Banana Bliss Latte and Brown Sugar Latte. Both were good, but not necessarily our favorites. It might be the espresso, which tasted a little more acidic than what I typically prefer. The breakfast bowl with chicken sausage, though? SO yum! I think the chicken sausage and salsa is made in-house, and both were so flavorful. Potatoes, eggs, your choice of protein, sauces...what's not to like?! Service was also great, and our order was ready really quickly. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other dishes!

Chorizo burrito

After seeing posts on FB, I wanted to check this place out. It's in a strip mall, but not too crowded when I arrived around 10am. I had the iced bananas latte and a chorizo breakfast burrito. The latte was tasty and sweet. It was also quick to make, so that was appreciated. The burrito was grilled with a nice crunch on the exterior. The salsas were delicious. The only thing was the liquids dripping from the burrito before I added salsa. I wasn't sure what that was from, but otherwise it was fine. The atmosphere is a fun vibe.

breakfast burrito

This place was amazing! They're super dog friendly which is a bonus always for me, they have treats and water bowls. The staff also were so friendly!! The girl noticed i was struggling holding everything by myself so brought everything to my table. Initially I had a substitute for my drink (latte instead of americano) and they called my name and the same female staff noticed right away even before I got there that the mistake was made. This shows the cafe is responsive and accountable! I will 100% be back. Breakfast burrito was also a DREAM. i don't usually enjoy breakfast burritos because of the way they tend be extremely heavy and oily, but this breakfast burrito was made with fresh ingredients, with nothing frozen. It was also a huge size for the price. Definitely this cafe is the epitome of an HB cafe and can't wait to be back!

A nice little cafe in a quiet HB plaza! I came here on a Monday morning for brunch and tried their seasonal Pistachio drinks. The coffee and matcha were both delicious! They had a strong matcha and coffee taste even with the Pistachio cream top, which I've had at other places and they were too milky. I also got the Chicky Chicky Bang Bang wrap which had grilled chicken. I was expecting it to be a cold wrap but it was freshly grilled chicken so it was hot and juicy! Lots of sauce oozing outside lol not sure I would get it again but I would come back to try their other foods like the breakfast bowls, burritos, sandwiches, and other drinks!! The atmosphere is really cute with very HB decorations. There's plenty of tables and would be a good spot to get some work done. Restrooms are also very nice and clean which is a plus!

Smash Burgers w/ added bacon available Sundays only
Nhi V.

There's nothing to complain about when coming to Boardriders. The people here are amazing and always have a positive attitude. The place is always lively and bustling whenever I walk in. I've basically been coming here since they opened summer of 2025 and realized from Day 1 that they make the absolute best breakfast burritos/bowls in all of SoCal. I crave it every other week. I also appreciate how much effort and creativity they put into their drink creations while also maintaining how tasty they are. The smash burgers that are only available on Sundays are so worth it! They're huge, juicy and don't make my stomach hurt like other ones do. I'd come here everyday if I lived closer.

Breakfast croissant sandwich
Lisa A.

What a beautiful cafe. I love the vibe- it's very welcoming with a lot of energy. The food is AHMAZING! No seed oils , the bacon is smoked on site. The best bacon I have ever had. The portions are generous. We've been twice , both on Sunday after church. The first was just for coffee and matcha drinks. They have a seasonal menu- all very good. The second time, we had breakfast. My husband had a chorizo bowl. 4/5 I had the croissant breakfast sandwich with bacon. 10/5. It was delicious! The bacon was mouthwatering. My son had a breakfast burrito with Chorizo. A generous portion and very good. 5/5. I'm so happy we have such a quality cafe in HB.

Fresh pressed juice
Arcadia W.

Next stop on my quest to find the best coffee in OC was this cute establishment. I went for the banana bliss coffee, which everyone said was so delicious. I was very tempted to get a breakfast burrito, but I wasn't that hungry but it's definitely on my radar for next time. I did however snag a fresh pressed green juice along with my coffee. In my opinion, the banana bliss coffee was not life-changing. It was a decent coffee, but the banana cream topper didn't stand out. Maybe it's because I drink my coffee with a straw so maybe that's why I wasn't getting the correct sips but the tropical green juice was amazing. It was so good even my picky five-year-old loved it. This is such a very low-key and freshly new place. I love how only true locals know about it. A bit on the pricier side for my coffee and my juice. I paid almost 20 bucks but that seems to be about the going rate for specialty coffee and quality juice in this area. The cashier was also very nice and helped me navigate the coffee options. I'll definitely be back to try a different coffee and hopefully I'll have an appetite for breakfast.

Giant breakfast burrito! Beach bum and banana everything was 10/10
Anyssa M.

Came to this super cute, surf vibes coffee shop for my husband's birthday! Very clean and friendly staff. We got the breakfast burrito with bacon (extra crispy) the burrito was huge and so flavorful, I love that they have multiple salsas available for you to choose as you please. Green salsa was my favorite. For coffees we got the iced beach bum and banana both were amazing.

Banana Bliss Latte
Dexter B.

I came here just to grab some coffee, I got the Banana Bliss Latte. It was really tasty and sweet with banana cold foam and cinnamon on top. The place was pretty packed and the food looked good. Probably have to come back and try the food some time.

Breakfast tacos and a pumpkin chai.

My husband and I love riding our bikes to this cafe, we love this place!! The set up is so cute and welcoming. The staff is always friendly. The breakfast tacos are amazing. Try their salsas, they are all good! I've tried different coffees and they are all delicious, they have pumpkin drinks for the fall, the chai is really good.

Went here after a work out and it was soooo delicious and tasted so fresh! It was a nice day out when I visited this location with a friend so we chose to sit outside. The staff were so friendly patient and helpful. I do not live close by or else I would be here more often but definitely plan on going back

Amber H.

Definitely a must try. I got the breakfast burrito with bacon and it did not disappoint. Their banana latte with cold foam was the best I've ever tried. The staff here is super friendly and attentive. Very clean and spacious on the inside with a beachy/ surf vibe. This is a good place to catch up with friends or work on your laptop. They also have dog treats so very pet friendly.

5* Food 5* Service 5*…read moreAmbiance We were recommended to try MoonGoat for their matcha and coffee, and I'm so glad we did! The space feels like a beautiful greenhouse oasis, a thoughtfully designed environment that creates a sense of serenity whether you choose to sit indoors or outside. The staff are equally welcoming and friendly, which adds to the overall charm and warmth of this coffee roaster. With a full page beverage and food menu, MoonGoat is much more than just a place for coffee. They offer a nice variety of food as well. I only wish their selection of desserts and sweets were a bit more expansive and appealing. We ordered the iced Marsala coffee and a latte. The beans were perfectly roasted, delivering a wonderful depth and richness to both drinks. Each cup was smooth, flavorful and thoroughlly enjoyable. We also tried the gluten free pecan cake. I loved that it wasn't overly sweet which allowed the flavorrs to come through naturally. The cake itself was slightly plain, but the generous pecan/toffee topping added the richness and texture it needed and made each bite much more satisfying. I could easily sit here for hours, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and the thoughtfully designed space. It's the kind of coffee shop where you want to slow down, linger and simply enjoy the moment.

Heard great things about this place & finally got to try it out today!…read more I ordered the Toasted Matcha, which is essentially an Hojicha Latte. I usually don't love Hojicha from many places, but this one was decent and smooth. I also ordered a seasonal Strawberry Watermelon Matcha Cold Foam, which was a bit too sweet for my boyfriend's (and my) liking, but it definitely had the watermelon and strawberry flavors there. Love the ambiance and vibe of this coffee shop and it's a great place to work or read for 1-2 hours. Wi-Fi was great and the staff is friendly. You can validate parking up to 2 hours across the street with a purchase. Not my absolute favorite coffee shop, but I'd definitely come back!

A special shout-out to Rowen and the female cashier (I'm so sorry I can't remember your name, but you have three boys! ) for going above and beyond to make our experience so great. You were both incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind, which made our visit that much more special. Everything from the food and drinks to the atmosphere and service was a 10/10. We can't wait to come back! Highly recommend Salty Horse!

I also ordered the Blue Whale smoothie, which tasted great, but at $10, I honestly think it's ridiculously overpriced for what you get. They should really reconsider their pricing because it's hard to justify charging that much for a smoothie. Another downside is the parking situation. Parking is horrible, and you're pretty much stuck trying to find street parking, which can be frustrating. Despite those complaints, I genuinely enjoyed the food and would definitely come back. Hopefully, they'll reconsider their smoothie prices because everything else was pretty solid!

We tried the branzino as a side (which is priced pretty well). We also tried the beef bourguignon pasta. You can split one meal among three kids and the price comes out very reasonably. We got takeout, so I can't speak to the service. They use paper takeout boxes, which I appreciate because it means less mystery plastic to worry about with your hot food. The containers are lower waste and sturdy enough to hold up overnight. That's a huge plus for me, if packaging counts as ambiance.

We came for lunch on a weekend and it was pretty busy. It's fast-casual, so you place your order at the counter and then find a table. I ordered the vegetarian omelette, which said it was a mini ratatouille, though tomatoes were not listed as an ingredient. The omelette was pretty plain, with some chopped up eggplant, onion and squash, that did not impart much flavor. It came with an overdressed salad and a piece of toast that was so dry that I don't know who'd want to eat it. I thought maybe I should have ordered one of their sandwiches instead, but my husband, who is normally not very particular about food, ordered one of their premade smoked salmon sandwiches was very disappointed. Not sure if we came on an off day or if perhaps pastries are the main attraction here. My curiosity has been satisfied.
