Everything is fresh, fast, organized, and so beautifully done. I do not agree with any review that gives Le Cafe Plage less than 5 stars! I ordered the tuna wrap, and I was absolutely delighted by how good it was. Don't be alarmed when you see it--the tuna is so chunky that I actually brought it back at first because I thought they had given me chicken! LOL. Alad the tuna salad has egg, tomatoes, and onion in it, and it is REALLY good. I especially loved the balsamic vinaigrette that comes with it. It completely lived up to its reputation. it's also a huge portion, so come hungry. Everyone recommended the Caesar salad, so that's definitely what I'm trying next time. I also saw people getting the ice cream, and it looked insanely good. The French attention to detail reigns throughout--from the food to the beautiful cutlery to the Japanese strawberry matcha. I also got a hazelnut beignet and a slice of chocolate-hazelnut cake to go. The merch is also amazing very California and that's kind of when it all comes together to make this an absolute must visit THE BEST VIBES spot if you're new to or juat visiting California. BEING HERE LITERALLY MAKES ME SO THRILLED TO BE BACK IN CALIFORNIA! HOORAY FOR MALIBU! You can dine here on the patio or take things to go, and everything is so thoughtfully done. I would absolutely bring anyone here. I'd come back just for the atmosphere, but the food gives me plenty of reasons to return. My only comment is that I could do without paper straws since they get too soggy but other than that, what a perfect visit! Thank you! Support local :)

Overall? Why travel for European flavors when you can just come here and save yourself the jet lag?…read moreThis place was fantastic. It's tucked away in an unassuming corner with a relaxed outdoor seating area next to a fountain that somehow makes the whole experience feel even better. The flavor lineup balanced classics with more creative combinations, and honestly, everything looked like a home run. Service was good and the gelato itself absolutely delivered Parking? Lot I had: Blackberry Mascarpone (5/5): This was killer. The blackberry brought a deep, jammy sweetness while the mascarpone added this rich, fatty creaminess that rounded everything out beautifully. It tasted layered and balanced instead of just sweet for the sake of being sweet. The kind of flavor that makes you immediately start debating whether getting another scoop is irresponsible or completely justified The Elvis (5/5): Elvis knew what he was doing. Banana, chocolate, and peanut butter sounds like it could go off the rails fast, but this combo absolutely worked. The banana actually tasted real instead of artificial candy flavoring, which immediately elevated the whole thing. Rich, nostalgic, slightly over the top in the best possible way. A genuinely great gelato flavor

First visit to this Tifa location. Ordered a kid cup as a prize for something my daughter did well…read more I was charged the regular small but didn't notice until later when I checked the receipt. The store is nicely decorated. Not sure if there is much space for sitting around but they do have some board games. The air conditioning is very cool, perfect for the hot summer days, though the service can be a little bit warmer. A smile or hello is sufficient when we walked in as the only two customers. It was literally a bit awkward when we asked for samples because the two servers didn't really seem to be ready to help. My daughter liked the gelato so it's all good. Fountain outside of the entrance is a nice place to hang out when enjoying the treat.

It had a very smooth taste; not bitter at all,& didn't have any overly sweet additives so it was all natural & healthy. My friend had a homemade strawberry lemonade which she also loved. But equally important,& to enhance the good experience,were the 2 adorable women who took care of me...Taylor & Lex,were friendly,colorful & professional, & though it was crowed, they were super fast. I never take the time to leave a review unless I'm really impressed,so here it is... And they make milkshakes which is kind of cool. Hope you get to experience this place!

Ambiance: clearly five star. Food: OK…read more Portion/ Quality in relation to price: double-meh. Service: meh. You have to order and prepay from your phone. Every time. For every drink. Ice water: go inside and help yourself. Mandatory pre-selected tip: 25%. Service attitude: meh. Then, as you opted for the convenient method above, they charge you 99 cent extra. For every order. OK, if you care to hear more: I was born and raised in Germany. In Germany, staff gets paid by the hour, so it's typical to "round up": on a €44 check you would possibly give €47-48, €50 would be considered generous. STILL, when I get asked what would be the first you would import from the US, I suggested "the way you tip service". For decades, 15-18, max 20% was the rule, and you got excellent service for this. I preferred excellent service over saving money in a restaurant. Now, they led us to believe that service does not get paid and their tip is what they take home. Also, they want is to believe that 15% tip is almost an offense as everything got more expensive. A server at Zinqué Malibu earns a legally mandated minimum of $17.91 per hour before tips. Zinqué does not publicly disclose its exact hourly rate; its job postings describe compensation as "hourly + tips," based on experience. True: everything gets more expensive. Every year. So if prices adjust for a sandwich, so does the tip, it's whatever percent on top. So "everything is more expensive" is covered by the higher tip. Zinque offers substandard service, suggests an extra 25% as default for it, and then makes me pay extra for them reducing the service. I still believe that great service deserves recognition. Sadly, I also believe that whoever is behind this, has lost his mind. As much as I love the ambiance of this place, I will not go again. Possibly they would not even want me to come again. Fair enough. During my visit, max 20% of the tables were taken, rather less. Maybe there are more people like me. Again, to make sure we do not misunderstand each other: I have no objections to have an online menu. I prefer a "real" one, but then, digitalization will take over. Fine. I dot not support that I have to tip before I have even seen service, though. Tip must be earned. By service. The more you love the service, the more you should tip.

The store is beautifully decorated inside and is a hot spot for people to sit and relax while sipping coffee and/or having a treat. We have been patrons for years, and whenever we have a celebration, this is always one of the places we consider. The pastries and cakes are absolutely delicious, artistically presented, and surprisingly light and refreshing. Our favorite is their wild berry yogurt cake, but we have also tried some of their other cakes, including the tiramisu, and have enjoyed them all. The staff is always welcoming and helpful. I recently picked up a birthday cake and had the birthday message written on a chocolate sheet. The whole process took only a few minutes, which was especially convenient. Their cakes come in small, medium, and large sizes. The larger sizes can sell out, so if you need a medium or large cake, it's probably best to order ahead. I recommend this place to all who enjoy a heart healthy treat!

It's a small, charming café with a cozy atmosphere, featuring old-school car collectibles displayed on a shelf that add a unique touch. They also offer outdoor seating where you can enjoy your desserts surrounded by lush greenery, natural foliage, and a peaceful little waterfall pond. The service was great as well, they were friendly and welcoming and answered all my questions. suggested I definitely I ended up picking up a chocolate and hazelnut cake with an incredibly soft, spongy interior that was perfectly balanced and rich without being overwhelming. I also grabbed a single serving of the blueberry cheesecake, which was light, airy, and still decadently satisfying--definitely worth every spoonful. The rum babas were a standout: bite-sized, soaked in Jamaican rum, filled with Chantilly cream, and topped with a raspberry. So flavorful and unique--each bite was indulgent without being too heavy. And then there was the Velina cake... oh my goodness. A beautiful sponge layered with chocolate mousse and hazelnut mousse, all covered in a glossy dark chocolate glaze. It was so rich and decadent that I had to slow myself down just to fully enjoy every bite. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully made, and worth the drive. I'd absolutely come back again.

The dinner entrees were absolutely fantastic!…read more First up was the Branzino, which was cooked to perfection without any fishy taste. It had a crispy and delicious texture, and the spinach was fresh and not overcooked. To complement the dish, we had truffle fries that were crispy and incredibly tasty. Next, we tried the Wagyu Burger, which was a very delightful experience. It was very thick and cooked to my exact liking, resulting in a tender and flavorful burger. The fries were also very tasty. To wash it all down, we had a Blackberry Lemon Drop martini, which had a refreshing and delicious flavor. We also had the pleasure of meeting the founder of OLLO. He started working in the restaurant industry when he was just 15 years old. You can see him in our pictures. He was very welcoming and checked on us a few times during our visit.
