I've already written about Le Cafe De La Plage in Santa Monica before, but ended up Le Cafe De La Plage in Malibu yesterday after a walk at Point Dume -- and wow. Their pastries are SO good. I had this amazing spinach pastry and a prosciutto croissant... absolutely delicious. Such a perfect little stop after the ocean and cliffs. Always a pleasure coming by, guys read more

Such a cute coffee shop! I loved the inside of this very pink shop. The staff was so helpful and nice. Everyone seemed happy to be working and got our items out pretty fast. We had two coffees, a piece of chocolate chip banana bread, and a pumpkin macroon. I loved all of it and was very happy with the service. I would recommend going and enjoying a pasty and a coffee soon! read more

I work in the area and decided to stop by for some coffee on my break. It was a gloomy day in Malibu so I chose to go with a hot mocha latte with regular milk. The only stars I'm giving are for the service I received because the drink was mid. Drink 2/5 The hot mocha had a cute heart latte art on it. The cashier had informed me that they use cocoa powder so it will not be sweetened and I was okay with that. However, all I tasted was milk & cocoa powder. The drink tasted just like the "sipping chocolate flavored cocoa mix" from Trader Joe's. The espresso was nowhere to be found. Service 5/5 The cashier was warm & welcoming. I also got a "have a nice day" from the barista even though the cafe was really busy and had people standing in line at 10:30 am on a Friday. Price Prices seem average & reasonable for a coffee shop in Malibu. However, given that I didn't love the drink, I'm not sure it was worth $6.75. Ambiance The interior is aesthetically pleasing but there's very few seats inside so most people use the common outdoor seating. Parking I've been to other shops in this plaza before & parking tends to be an issue. The layout is pretty weird & it gets really chaotic at times. read more

I came here right after the Point Dume hike and the place was very aesthetic they had flowers on the wall and a pink piano! The cashier was nice and the food was actually surprisingly good. I really enjoyed the prosciutto sandwich, though I did take off a lot of the arugula since it came with way too much for my liking. But I LOVED THE ORANGE JUICE. It was ACTUALLYYYY fresh! The price was around $50-60 with tip for 2 orange juices and 2 sandwiches, I didn't get to try the coffee or the pastries, but I loved how they had a French flag on them! Wish I could've tried the coffee or the pastries but the place was not bad overall. read more

I absolutely love the way they package their iced vanilla latte! Like a soda can with a pop top! Service is always super friendly and all the customers our neighbors. This is a very social spot. There is a piano in the entryway for people to play and lots of bright colors and lighting throughout the space to give you a warm and happy vibe! read more

The cutest cafe ever! Parking is actually horrendous because it's next to a pavilions so it's hard to find a spot amongst grocery shoppers. But once you get past that, the inside is very cute and all the employees are so nice. Seating is mainly outside, the weather was beautiful so we didn't mind. I don't normally order sandwiches but the California Chicken Avocado Baguette was calling my name and I answered. It was very savory with a very slight kick of spice. The balsamic vinaigrette salad that it came with, was genuinely, the best salad i've had in a long time. It came with the perfect amount of dressing, salt, and pepper. The lemonade was more on the sour side which is personally my preference. I love that the drinks come sealed in a can-like fashion! read more

Friends.... We've all got 'em! And Apparently... Garth Brooks has them in low places ;) So, what are friends really good for anyway?? Friends are there to go to lunch with. Friends are there to play at the beach. And some Friends, will even help you learn a new language. Anybody remember that one Friends Episode? You know... The One Where Joey Speaks French Phoebe: Je m'appelle Claude Joey: Je de coup Clow. Phoebe: Well, just... let's try it again. Joey: Ok. Phoebe: Je m'appelle Claude Joey: Je depli mblue Ok, you get the point... Learning French is no easy task. But... Eating like the French. Dining like the French. & Living like the French. Is something I can definitely get behind. I mean, who doesn't Love Bread, Cheese & Wine!! And what better place to "Eat like the French" all while you "Dine like the French" than... Malibu, California!!! Welcome to Le Cafe De La Plage aka The Café at the Beach That's right! An upscale Café in this swanky little beach town known as Malibu where knowing how to speak French is not required. All that is required is: The LOVE of Baguettes. The LOVE of Brie. And the Absolute LOVE of their Countries colors: The Red, The White & The Blue, err.. reverse that ;) Yes, tiny Flags of France (that are Blue, White & Red) are proudly displayed inside the glass case line which helps highlight all of the delicious house-made baguette sandwiches that are all up for grabs. And if that doesn't grab your attention, check out their other French Specialties. -Rustic Tarts -Croissants -Beignets -Croque Monsieur -Nicoise Salad Just to name a few. And if you're a morning person, they've also got... -Omelettes -Quiche Lorraine -A Brioche Bun Sandwich And of course... -Madeline's & Canelés. But you better order your breakfast with a hot cup of Café au lait, which of course is a French Classic. And if the above French-named dishes are not enough reasons to make you break out and do the Can-can (an iconic French Cabaret dance)... Then maybe their Natural, Hand-Crafted Ice Cream that is making a name for itself on the West Coast Can-(can) change your mind. This little Café which is located on Point Dume in Malibu is just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Coastline, so bringing a friend, grabbing some lunch and then heading to the beach has never been easier now that I've discovered... Le Café De La Plage And to those who are actually fluent in French Lord knows I'm not, but google is ;) Here is one about friendship you may appreciate: "Un ami, c'est quelqu'un qui vous connaît bien et qui vous aime quand même." To Le Café De La Plage... Until next time, Forever and for Always.. Vive La France! read more

Everything is decent I'm sure but the manager could be more diligent. Pastry selection very limited, my pain au chocolate was good. I also ordered a sandwich, a caprese sandwich. It was a half size baguette and was just too small especially for the price. And there was a minimal amount of buffalo mozzarella, wasn't burrata so why be cheap when you're charging a full sized sandwich price. The sandwich was ok, just ok. Wouldn't pay for it again. I heard their big seller is hand crafted ice cream. That I'd be willing to try and go back for the special ice cream. Maybe I'll give 3 stars or possibly 5 if the ice cream is amazing and you get a lot for your money. This is America, we like big portions especially when it's expensive. The French have a hard time understanding that. Oh well that's all I got. Au revoir mes amies. read more

Horrible. I've been here many times and yesterday was HORRIBLE. Not only was the guy behind the counter giving people their food with dirty gloves, he was texting on his phone with the same gloves. They forgot people's orders, made them wait over 30 min and then got our only 2 sandwiches wrong twice. They are obvi not paying attention and to busy texting to wash their hands and hand out orders. No ty. $36.00 for 2 sandwiches that were not made right or toasted as requested. read more

Stopped here on our way to point dume. I've been here a few times and this was my first time trying the pastries. The scone was delicious, a little lacking in butter but so light and not overpowering sweet. I got the lavender honey latte and was very happy. Brother got the pistachio latte and felt it was also light on the taste. They have ice cream here that was also so rich in flavor. Service was quick and it's so cute and instagramable as a cafe. I love it here! read more

They didn't forget that I ordered a ficelle this time! First time in the 4 times I've been here that I didn't have to argue with staff that "yes, I ordered" and "no, I never got it coz you were warming it up and was gonna call me". Might be because it was NOT busy during this visit. No line to order. No wait for pick up our food. You might surmise that their FICELLE is great because I still get their ficelle every single time. Chocolate Scone is delicious and has excellent texture. Free parking lot in this center. read more

Please don't take away the long skinny baguette I kept coming back because of them. Unfortunately, last week, assumed I was ordering the same usual baguette but I instead got the American sandwiches with a side salad, the bread was so thick, it ended up tossed out. It ruined my experience!! Have you changed the menu or owner? read more

Sándwich was delicious, lemonade was really good, and the staff was very kind. Little hole in Malibu hardly anything around but this was perfect read more

We come here for the ice cream whenever we are going to the beach! The salted Carmel and the black vanilla are amazing! It is a little pricy but for a special treat it is fun! There are ample tables and benches outside and there are pastries and baguette sandwiches if you're hungry. They have bottled soda and ice cream for taking home as well. There is usually a line but the employees are pretty quick and efficient read more

Wow! This place is incredible! They have the most delicious in house pastries (today I had the matcha blueberry loaf). The owners wife makes them! I am gluten free and this one was gluten free which is amazing! Their coffee hits the spot, and they do that cute design on top of their hot drinks. The staff is so friendly, explain everything for first timers and you can tell they make your items with love. Bonus- they have THE CUTEST merch!!! I grabbed a hoodie and a hat! 10/10 recommend! I'll be coming back for lunch with my littles next so we can try more menu items read more

Pros: -nice looking store. -pastry and food cold case well displayed -cool idea to have malibu and flowers on wall for pics -good marketing. Merchandise etc. - Cons: -flow makes no sense. Over crowded. Line out the door. Menus not provided before ordering -food was horrible after waiting forever -quiche was dry and burned. -food not as pictured -staff had poor attitudes and blamed eachother. -poor ordering system. Staff who took order forgot to make the requested updates to order -photos from business online of drink art was NOT what we received in store and was the only resin we went here -once we asked about food timing after wifi b 30 minutes for take out food the girl seemed annoyed -we returned food for a "partial" refund - Will I return: NEVER read more

Cute location, interior. Service was soso. Came here because the baguettes looked amazing. In reality, looks nothing like pictured!!! They're also super thin but tastes ok. We also had to wait for a new batch of baguettes, almost 20 minutes. We weren't informed that they ran out when ordered. We needed up waiting forever and ordered a sourdough sandwich. Sadly, both sourdoughs were hard as a rock! They were out of a lot of baked goods too and we got there around 3. Not sure if the display case is refrigerated but they pulled out one of our sandwiches from there... maybe that's why it was so hard. Not sure if I'd come back. read more

Charming little cafe by the beach, as the name says. Delicious baguette sandwiches, just like the kind you see in Paris. Lots of pastries and cafe drinks. Not sure that they can do anything about the flies, but they should try... there are flies all over the place... inside, outside. My salad and quiche took a very long time to prepare... wish I knew I'd have to wait over 10-15 for my salad, but it was delicious. read more

Le Cafe de la Plage Malibu was the perfect beach cafe to meet up girlfriends, enjoy the delish eats (and even bring our eats to enjoy at Point Dume!), and experience only good vibes!! We all raved about what we ordered, from the French sandwiches, to the breakfast sandwiches, to the breakfast bowls. The ice creams and my latte were so delish as well!! Thanks to our gf for the amazing recommendation!! Ordered: Beignets: Sugar, Berry, & Chocolate Scrambled Eggs & Lox Sandwich Choco Dream Ice Cream (not pictured) Magic Unicorn Ice Cream (not pictured) French Toast Latte (not pictured) read more

Stopped by this super cute cafe for some breakfast and grab n go items for the beach. Located in the Pavillions shopping center which was pretty packed on a Saturday morning. Stood in line, placed our order, and found a cute shaded table in the courtyard. Hubby had the scrambled eggs and lox which he loved.. it was on a beautiful brioche with some yummy avocado. I had the goat cheese omelette which was filled with spinach, onions and mushrooms. Breakfast was great coffee was good. Was kindof hard to eat our food with the sustainable wood cutlery lol but whatever helps the cause. Now the not so good.. ordered some beignets (they come 3 to an order) and despite other reviews they aren't worth the hype. They're barely filled and just whatevs. We also saw some pretty sandwiches in the display case and grabbed a couple for the afternoon at the beach. They were freaking expensive. By the time we went to eat them, the bread was hard as a rock!!! I'd recommend steering clear of those 15-20 dollar French sandwiches. read more

Service was okay everyone was polite. For the review I am only leaving a low one - due to the awful latte's I ordered. I got a "Japanese" Matcha Latte and a Vanilla Latte but they were both horrible. I couldn't even drink it. The matcha is clearly not Japanese and you can see that's it not well blended. I did not taste the food so my reviews is solely for the drinks. read more

Berry Beignets - you need these in your life!! They were so good that I turned the car around and went back for more to take home to family lol! And the owners are just fantastic people! They were so kind and welcoming to me!! So here's a big shout out to them on this #thankyouthursday!! Y'all made my day! I absolutely LOVE the French vibes of this cafe!! Their decor and ambiance is so quaint! This is an extremely lively shop - it fills up fast. They have a huge, opulent flower wall for photo ops. And they have great outdoor seating around a courtyard with a lovely water fountain. I also tried a Rose Almond Latte and it was very good. I could only taste a slight hint of rose so that's my only complaint - I like a heavy rose flavor - but their coffee is delicious. And they serve so much more - breakfast, quiche, huge sandwiches, macarons, and homemade ice cream! They're located in a very busy Pavillions shopping center right off of PCH with plenty of parking. They offer vegan options even for the ice cream with flavors like rose raspberry lychee and mango Passionfruit - sounds fantastic! I'll definitely be back to try some of that! And to get more of those mixed Berry beignets! read more

My new favorite breakfast hang-out. Not cheap - but who really wants CHEAP? I had one of the best Latte Macciatos I ever had - their subs were crunchy and delicious, can't wait to go again. Service was very friendly - and the ambiance was very nice. Would I do a 30-minute detour just to eat here (mandatory in my rating scheme to achieve 5 stars)? I certainly would (and just did ;-) read more

The pictures are a bit deceiving.. they make it seem like the food will be plated. But in reality, it's take-out only. The hand-made ice cream was so-so. I tried some flavors and some were icy, as if they'd just been sitting there without being stirred for a long time. I got the house-made caramel, since that was the only non-icy one. The sunrise sandwich was mediocre, lacking in flavor. The burrata toast was good, but the bread was hard. All in all, it was just okay. A bit disappointing since I had high hopes. read more

What a cute cafe in Malibu. Line is out the door and decor was nice with a selfie station and so much to choose from on the menu. While there we saw an NBA star ordering from the cafe too. Has a cute line of merchandise but a little for the sweatshirt. Had the lavender latte with oat milk and it wad good. Also had the lavender blueberry ice cream which they also make quite yummy. Daughter had the ice cream sandwich and we also had macaron and beignets. Friendly staff but gets busy. Will definitely visit again when in Malibu. read more

One of the few coffee places still open on a Saturday late afternoon/early evening. Not very spacious inside aside from a long table with a few stools, while outside they have several small tables for use. Since it was warm out, most people were ordering the ice cream they had to the side. Though that was tempting, settled instead on an Iced Coffee ($5ish) and a Chocolate Chip Cookie ($?). Coffee is straight forward, a bit bitter but strong. Cookie is large and has the right amount of sweetness - would have liked more chocolate chips. Service here is friendly, and they have some.high priced swag for sale as well. Looks like they have a full menu for breakfast that would be great if you don't have a big group. read more

Our first time going there got the egg breakfast and got sick vomiting the entire time. This place is definitely a no for me. The name sounds cute. The concept looks good. The café itself is dressed up and looks like it's something nice. I do not recommend totally disappointed. I have learned just because something looks good. Doesn't mean it's always good. read more

Tasty, but expensive. About $7 for a coffee, and another $7 for each pastry. Yikes! Long lines, expect at least 20-30min wait. I tried the Honey Lavender Latte, both cold and hot. It was a subtle flavor but rich and creamy. And the spinach danish was also tasty, but very small and thin for the price tbh. read more
