    I'm glad that this place is finally busy and getting the recognition it deserves because it has gone through so many changes over the years. And if anything, a beach always needs a beachfront café. With that, I have only ever had the banana mocha iced latte. And it's delicious so I'm not a huge banana fan, but it's just subtle enough with the mocha that it's really flavorful. However, all of the food items I've seen served from the café look incredible. And some of the people that we've sat near on the beach even commented how delicious the food was. The burritos look amazing the burgers looking incredible. And everything is actually reasonably priced, considering you are right oceanfront. I think on average things are around $14. There's like a lox and bagel sandwich for 18 I think. They even have a small cocktail menu. It is paid Parking. I recommend having the Laguna Beach city app for that and I'm not sure if there's an actual café parking. I think it's just for the employees and service is super friendly too and ambience come on. You can't beat it. It's on the beach. I do not have a picture of my drink for this visit. They do come in pretty cool aesthetic takeout cup vibe cups if that makes sense.

    Cute little eatery right on the beach. Perfect view with your breakfast burritos and latte. Plenty of beach parking and the short rib burrito was delicious. Happy Yelping!

    Beautiful location as it was right on the water. Staff were patient and friendly. The food tasted pretty good as well. The only thing is that it was very expensive but, I suppose that's just expected in this area. Great place to grab a bite to eat if you want to splurge a little while watching the waves or people watch!

    Fish tacos and tuna melt

    Stumbled across this place on a Friday for lunch. This spot is literally on the beach! Service was quick and food was good. Would definitely be back if I happen to be in the area!

    First of all, you can't beat the location. It's on the sand! There's limited seating but it's not a huge deal because of the quick-ish turnaround. I'm sure many people take their food to-go and eat on the sand too. Parking was fairly easy as well because it's right next to a lot that you pay for by the hour. We were a little bummed that they have a strict cutoff for breakfast because we were really craving breakfast food. To be fair, it's rare for places to serve breakfast until the afternoon. We ended up ordering a burrito, fries, and a soft drink for lunch. It's pretty expensive for a quick beach spot, but the portions were a good size and shareable. Our burrito came with chips but in general, you have to order sides (like fries) separately. You do get a big portion and they offer free drink refills too. I think those 3 items came out to almost $40.00 not including the parking so just take that into consideration. Also, don't rely on the Yelp photos because their menu changes. You can see their menu in person or check their site. Overall, the food was pretty delicious and fresh. And the views were unbeatable.

    Ceviche & Chips plate

    This small gem posted right on the boardwalk had an amazing menu of food; from cheeseburgers, to fries, to sandwiches. I tried their ceviche and it did not disappoint. The serving size was a little small, but more than enough to satisfy an appetite. The chips the ceviche was served with were bursting with spicy lime flavor and the entire meal was well prepared and fresh. The service was quick, even for meals that required actual cook time. And being right near the beach offered the perfect lunch spot to relax and unwind.

    This place is a hidden gem! Well, maybe not hidden, but I just discovered it. Holy wow! Reasonable prices for Laguna and right on the beach. We had a breakfast burrito and the clam chowder and both were excellent. I would literally drive the 90 minutes just for the soup! Such a great place for a quick brunch or if you're looking for a beach to hang out at it this is perfect to grab mid day. Highly recommend!

    Lobster roll
    Shawn S.

    Very good counter serve cafe offering lots of food options but famous for their popular lobster rolls. They don't skimp out on the lobster portions and they are extremely fresh and delicious. Beware of market price though, each lobster roll was $38, which was double the price of all of their other menu items. The chicken tenders were also very good, crispy and tender. You order at the counter and they have outdoor seating which can be full during weekends. There is a huge paid parking lot that is right by the beach so you can enjoy a nice stroll after enjoying their food. Great location right by the beach and friendly staff.

    Esther H.

    We wanted lunch with a view. I had fish tacos. The price was perfect. It's a walk up counter and they were helpful.

    Worm
    Juliana M.

    I had there so called fresh ceviche And two hours later I threw up and found a worm. Really disgusting. I didn't eat anything else either this day so i know it was definitely this meal that I ate. Not coming back again:)

    I love this onsite cafe at Aliso Beach and we were pleasantly surprised it was open on Christmas Day! The food is reasonably priced and the staff is very friendly. I've had the lobster roll and the fish and chips before, it's all very delicious. This cafe has great beachfront views without a pricey price tag.

    Jean B.

    We ordered the tuna poke bowl and clam chowder. The sizes were decent. It was seasoned well. There are no plant-based options. The service was fast. Staff was friendly. The vibe was very chill. The location is unbeatable. It is by the ocean.

    What kind of fish do they use for fish n chips?

    Pacific rockfish

    Are they still serving LOBSTER ROLLS ? seems off the menu as of now

    At this time we only serve the shrimp roll, but the lobster roll will most likely be coming back this summer!

    Is the patio dog friendly this time of year October?

    Yes it is!

    How many hours can the fire pits be rented for?

    Do I need a reservation for a table on the patio? Do they serve alcohol? Gracias.... 😁

    No you don't need reservations. You just order at the window and sit at any table that is open. And yes, they serve alcohol. ☺️

    At what time are lunch items served?

    Just ate there yesterday and oh so good. The entire menu is served all day during their open hours.

    Do they have parking or do you have fight for parking with Beach goers?

    It depends on the weather and weekend or weekday. Just ate their yesterday and plenty of parking. Since it is paid parking I have always been pretty lucky or you can park across the street and walk the tunnel over.

    I see beer, but do they have wine?

    Yes

    Does this place have gluten free options?

    Yes!

    Is this at Aliso Beach?

    yes, it sure is... : )

    Just wanted to say a huge thank you to your receptionist for helping with our friend's proposal…read moretoday. She was incredibly patient and kind throughout the whole process. Our plan changed twice(maybe more), and she adapted to every change without hesitation. She also helped hand the flowers to the groom-to-be, which made the proposal more special. They even gave the couple a beautiful corner table by the window so they could enjoy the ocean view. It was absolutely perfect and made the moment even more memorable. We truly appreciate her kindness and the amazing service from your team. Everyone went above and beyond to make this proposal a success, and we're so grateful. Thank you for helping create such a beautiful and unforgettable memory!

    This is the perfect restaurant to have a fancy meal or a girl's brunch!…read more Whenever I come across any restaurant known for its views or ambiance, the food is often subpar so I didn't have high expectations coming here. But wow did that change my mind!! The margherita flatbread was a table favorite and approved by my Italian friends. We also loved the alaskan halibut tacos & crispy chicken sandwich. The portions were big enough to share or eat individually so it felt worth the price. As a party of 8, we honestly had a great experience with our food, service, and waterfront seating. The staff were not quick to rush us while we celebrated my friend's birthday with a cake and pictures, so that was very much appreciated. I would absolutely come back for my birthday or any special occasion! Some things to note: - $10 valet parking with validation but there's plenty of metered street parking out front - 20% service charge automatically added to the bill

    Took my mother-in-law here for her birthday and we all had such a great experience!…read more We got there around 4-4:15pm and had about a 20 minute wait, but we were able to find a high top table that we got to sit at and were able to order drinks from the bar, so that helped to pass our time. We got seated at our table at our table around 4:30p and had the most perfect view of the ocean! *we went on a Friday night and noticed the patio cleared out about 4:45-5pm and I didn't appear to have a lot of people waiting during that time. The main patio was covered with umbrellas, so once you are seated for dinner, there was plenty of umbrellas for shade and heaters for when it got a little cooler. For our food orders, and as recommended by our server, we went with their seafood options and ordered their Pacific Ceviche for an appetizer and for Entrees my husband got the Roasted Halibut and me and my mother-in-law both got the Scallop and Shrimp pasta. We all loved our dishes and were very satisfied with our choices. Their menu does have non-seafood options, but why not to try what they're most prominent for? They don't have a dessert menu, but they heard that we were celebrating mom's birthday so they brought us a little Toffee Cake to share and enjoy...and for a place that doesn't have dessert, the cake was pretty delicious. Such a cute place all around. My husband and I can't wait to go back! Parking - they have valet parking available right in front of the restaurant or theres street metered parking in the surrounding area.

    On the deck overlooking the Pacific Ocean! What a beautiful view!!…read moreWe came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. Upon arrival, you'll find that the valet completely disregards the flow of the street. They use the southbound lane as a parking lot, effectively turning a small two-way road into a one-way alley. The valet guys were also rude to people trying to drive through for no apparent reason. When sitting outside on the deck, there are 12 heaters available, but the hostess wouldn't turn them on. (I've eaten at many waterfront restaurants, and they all turn the heaters on--especially when the temperature drops from 80°F and sunny to 68°F after the sun goes down.) The website states no seating after 8 p.m., yet they were still seating people well after 8:15. The menu was also not what I was expecting. While waiting for dinner, the aroma of marijuana drifted across the dining area. (I know they can't control what happens outside their establishment.) the deck is roped off because apparently it's unsafe and could fall off at any moment in addition to the rotting floor. The food: The menu is underwhelming. I ordered the chicken with sun-dried tomato risotto and vegetables. The risotto was undercooked and flavorless, and the chicken was also lacking flavor. I sampled the New York steak with mashed potatoes--the steak was cooked well, but the potatoes were cold. We didn't even bother ordering dessert and went elsewhere instead.

We stopped by spontaneously for a weekend brunch after seeing this spot on social media, and were pleasantly surprised that it 100% lived up to the hype! One of our favorites was the ceviche, which came with a tasty mix of cooked white fish, tomato, peppers, onion and cilantro paired with fresh tortilla chips, and is a refreshing option for a hot summer Californian day. I also surprisingly enjoyed the bone marrow, which was so deeply flavorful without being overwhelmingly rich, and paired beautifully with their freshly roasted bread. Also highly recommend trying their cocktails, especially the French, which comes with a creative spin of raspberry sorbet and brut to pour over. Definitely check out this hidden gem restaurant for innovative and elevated Californian cuisine if you're in Laguna!
