I have never eaten there, but I did rent a couple of bikes from them, and they were much nicer than other people on the walk that I have rented from. Super sweet, helpful, threw in a free basket, a 15 minute grace period, helping adjust the seats, laid-back and kind. read more

With summer here have you ever thought of what would it be like if you did not want to lug all your beach paraphernalia out to the sand? Provided you find some nearby parking, this place can assist you in relaxing at the beach with a minimal amount of fuss (at least the days I visited). They can set you up on the sand with chairs/umbrellas and of course they rent bicycles too. Although their menu prices are inflated, I typically bring my own beverage and just get a snack to keep it simple. In order to watch the world go buy on a budget, I will buy their least expensive item on the menu, which is a piece of fruit for $1.50 and kick back in their sand seating. If you want more to eat, I suggest you bring your own picnic or be prepared to walk around a bit and pay more. With the heat of the season fast approaching, it would just not be the same without them. Guess I am just grateful they are there when I need a break from bicycling and want to lean back in a chair. read more

YELP INSIDER TIP FROM DOREEN (AKA AZN PERSUASION): Beach Butler package is a nice splurge! Experience it with a groupon type coupon. ***** I tried this place and got the more expensive package at 30% off. It was a nice splurge for me and my Boo. The beach butler carries all your stuff to 2 lawn chairs, an umbrella, a little table, and cooler with ice and bottled water. You order lunch, relax, and ride bikes. They give you a walkie talkie so you can call on your butler, but he also swings by just to check on you too. They are open from 9am-630pm so you can stay the whole time if you want. The food is pretty good too. You also get a free nice big beach towel. They bring you as much bottled water as you want. The bike rentals have tandem, cruisers, adult trike bikes, and kid bikes. A fun way to spend the day! read more

The biggest rip off place on ocean front walk. It's crazy they can get away with what they are doing, which is only because of the tourists. They selling a $1 ice cream for $7 plus tax, which is ridiculous. Almost $8 for a popsicle. I can't believe they are still in business. read more

We were starving and desperate. Thought we would roll the dice on this beachside place. I'm glad we did. It's cute. Tables in the sand. Bare feet. Pretty iconically California. Pizza was good. Square. I got the burrito bowl with steak with was wonderful. It was a little slow but they were nice as could be. This will be a fun vacation memory for our family. read more

Food is delicious, fresh, we were 25 of Dec. Everywhere where closed. Only them open and so good. Highly recommend

Ordered a chicken sandwich and it took an hour. The line wasn't long but I'm pretty sure they drove up to Stockton to pick up chickens. Horrible experience. read more

It's a bit overpriced. But I guess what isn't in LA? Still, a salad and a smoothie and just the hamburger patty itself for the dog for $34 is ridiculous even for LA. I will say for beachfront food, it is pretty tasty. And of course the location for lunch or dinner or even a snack at the beach is amazing proximity read more

This place is getting 5-stars from me because at the time i went there was no line Or crazy wait (since two shops are within a block of each other i went to the less busy Perry's) and the fries were amazing! My bf and i just stopped while we were walking from Venice to Santa Monica and the lady who helped us was super nice and reminded us that however their shop looks like a fast food joint all the food was still made to order. So we just ordered a large basket of their TRUFFLE FRIES! To wrap up my containment... THESE ARE THE BEST TRUFFLE OR ANY FRENCH FRIES IVE HAD EVER! Only $6 for a giant basket my bf and i easily shared and the fries were a dream! If i lived near the beach it would be my one and only beach stop for food! 10:10 would recommend! read more

I rented a bike to ride on the boardwalk. Within 15 minutes, about a mile and a half away, I developed a flat tire. I called multiple times with no answer. I walked the bike a random shop that was on the boardwalk to see if they could just put air in the tire and they did try but unfortunately there was a hole. Eventually I got through to the main office and I was told they would send somebody to pick up the bike. They did not give me a time estimate. I waited for an hour and nobody arrived so I locked the bike up and walked the mile back to the bike shop. When I got there, i explained what happened. I took a picture of the bike locked so they knew exactly where it was. I was denied a refund and accused of not waiting with the bike because they said somebody showed up and that I wasn't there. Why didn't they call me? I wasted two hours of my day. The bike was dirty, and the place was over priced, and the manger (I think her name was Allie but I could be mistaken) was so rude and accusing me of lying of not waiting. I recommend going literally anywhere else. read more

Well be coming back to Perry Cafe and Bike Rental. Sandra made the whole processe on rent out back like a brezze I did not have to hasle on resving the rentals and giving them back. I can say that Sandra should be employee of the year for how easlyt she made the process. Thanks to her ill be coming back to this establishment. read more

I visited Perry Cafe on my vacation in Santa Monica and the service was great. I had a nice time in my vacation and being greeted and provided the best ambiance by a worker (Sandra) she helped me a lot and was there to help me and my family. The family enjoy the food and as well had a good time snacking on our break. I recommend going to visit the stand and get some refreshments and look out for Sandra. Thank you for making my experience good. read more

I came to Perry's last Saturday to rent a bike and grab a bite to eat. The staff at the bike rental, especially Christian, could not have been more helpful and eager to answer my questions. Will definitely return for my bike needs in the future! He's also kinda cute lol read more

Great location and view! Sadly, no alcohol is served here :-( Fish tacos served with tortilla chips: I definitely wouldn't order this one again. The fish was over cooked and tough. The toppings were great tho. The salsa was great! Guacamole: 2oz serving was great for two considering we ordered two meals. It was very fresh and flavorful. High Tide chicken sandwich: served with chips (possibly made in house). Pretty tasty. They have a variety of options. I'd definitely go back and try some other menu items. read more

I come in and was hoping to get my usual cafe latte and this mean cashier named Stephanie or smtn like that was very rude to me. She had a dirty stank face and seemed like she hated working there, and when my drink eventually came out like 20 minutes later it was made wrong. Do better read more

Slow, over-priced, mediocre food, small portions and they tried to stiff me on the soda. Won't be back.

As a local this is my go to spot my mother loves to sit down with our dogs and eat everyone is friendly, and the staff is super nice respectful and helpful. We have shared tables with tourists from all over the world, and letting them know about WLA. If you want to see Beach Volleyball, Beach Flag football, outdoor gyms or outdoor yoga, surfing and other beach activities Perry's is the perfect place to get that original California experience...FYI my go to food is Pizza, fries, breakfast burrito, and California bowl,veggie burger or Turkey burger read more

The portions are very big and I like them. I ordered a bacon burger with cheese. The bacon is very crispy and the whole dish is awesome with all the flavors well balanced! It is a bit expensive though, about $20 per dish including tax. After all it's a unique experience sitting outdoors on the sands watching the volleyball games and having my lunch. It's just 30 minutes walk from the pier and probably 10 minutes by bike or scooters. read more

Really nice people, the service was really good and the place is amazing, just in front of the pear.

Had a terrible customer service experience today. Two female employees were very unprofessional and rude. I placed an order for 4 coffees but got 3 only, then I said that's ok, paid for my hot vanilla latte but instead they did wrong order, while I was waiting and trying to inquire about my order , that female employee was very ignorant, I told her that can you check my order then she all of the sudden refund my money said will get my drink for free as she realized processed wrong coffee, then she disappeared. I asked other female employee about my coffee after waiting a while , she did not have any idea about which I don't believe, because I saw first employee before disappearing talk to her about me. Anyway she was rude and ignorant as well, I didn't know if she was processing my coffee or not, so when I asked her, she just put the coffee without saying thank you for patience or anything else. I tried not to pay attention as did not want to ruin my day because of these to unprofessional and employees. I did drink a little bit of that coffee but for some reason was tasting nasty and I got scared, so I placed the coffee on their ordering place saying that this coffee doesn't taste right and was kind of different, then I tried to leave with my siblings that they were with me, they didn't drink their coffees either and were upset because all these bad experience they provided to us, so we left the place leaving coffee cops on the table, then another female employee from by cycle side yelled at me saying I didn't manners not taking coffee cups and placing in the trash. I tried to speak to manager I was told no manager available, then I explained everything to a guy from bycicle side, he seems understood. Anyway, if owner of this place reads this, he must know to hire train it's employees to be professional and kind. It is scary to know that they could have put something on the drink to retaliate you. Shame on these two female employees. read more

Great location, good seating, took 20 minutes for them to make 2 cappuccinos -- with no one else in line! I watched as they dawdled, and made it about as inefficiently as humanly possible. Good coffee beans, badly done. And it usually takes 10-15 minutes for them to make coffee. Understaffed, too, so the cashier makes everyone in line wait to leave the register and make each coffee order. Bad management at all of the Perry locations on this beach. read more

We had a perfect beach day thanks to Perry's Cafe and Beach Rentals. We reserved the beach butler and it did not disappoint. Stephen had our chairs and umbrellas all set up when we arrived. We ordered lunch and all of the food was great and delivered right to our chairs. I would recommend this to anyone traveling to the area who wants a beach day but not the hassle of finding beach things. Totally worth it! read more

Surprisingly large menu. Prices were not so surprising for its location. Thinking about it, you're also paying for the convenience of ordering and receiving food literally next to the beach. Pretty good quality, I went with the California bowl with mahi mahi since it's easier to eat on the beach. I like that there was plenty of tables and chairs and rows of chairs just facing the sidewalk and the beach. read more

Perry's - California Beach Bowl on the beach with mahi mahi - Bike Rentals Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Here you get beach food: salads, sandwiches, hot dogs, decent muffins, snacks, soft drinks. Prices are not too too bad, and the views are beyond spectacular. Service here has been friendly every time I've stopped by. Harry Perry is the guy who skates on Venice Beach boardwalk with his electric guitar (and an amp on his back). He's been doing that for decades. Does he own the chain of Perry's beach cafes? I always wondered! Anyway, at this Perry's location, in front of Sea Colony, there is seating on the sand. Umbrella tables right on the beach, see photos. It doesn't get any better. Perry's Cafes provide an oasis for people who ride the beach bike path. I guess they are landmarks as well. This one at Ocean Park Blvd. has always been my favorite, probably because that stretch of beach is dear to my heart. This area is where lived when I first landed in LA, and the lifestyle immediately won me over. Long live beach traditions! read more

Where do you go to get a butler....on the beach? Well the answer is you drive all the way out to Santa Monica, because Perry's not only has a cafe, and not only does rentals, but he also has Beach Butler Service. What is this you ask? Well, $50 gets you a nice guy in a butler t-shirt, who will drag two lounge chairs, a small table, an umbrella, a little cooler with 2 bottles of water and a wind guard out to the beach and then check on you every 30 minutes or so to bring you anything you might want from their shop or restaurant. Or for $100, you all of that plus lunch & two towels. While it's not exactly the most luxurious of furniture (beach chairs are not terribly comfortable and the foot rest piece comes off) it was a cool experience and I would do it again a little differently. Here's how: ***Bring your own towels: the one's that they gave us in the $100 package were pretty cheap and I wish that we would have brought our nice ones from the house. It's not worth upgrading the package for those towels. ***Go for the $50 package and bring your own food: When I spoke to the guy I made a reservation from, I asked how lunch worked with the $100 package and whether we were given a $50 food/beverage credit. I don't think he understood what I was asking because he told me yes but that is not how it works. Basically, you get to choose the lower grade things off their menu in the form of one entrée, side dish and drink. For example, you can have one all-beef hot dog, French fries and a coke X2 because it's for two people....not worth the additional $50 and the food choices for the package were terrible (see picture). Taste-wise my fish tacos, and my fiancée's pizza combo was average at best; if I had paid a la carte, the food would not have knocked my socks off so next time I'll bring something great. ***Put up your wind guard: Our sweet butler offered to put up our wind guard and we didn't really think we needed it. While it was windy, I think the real benefit would have been the extra space and privacy as the beach is super crowded. read more

Perry's - Beach butler menu included in $100 package - Bike Rentals Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Perry's Cafe is located right on the sand in beautiful Venice Beach. With an excellent view of the ocean and parallel to the bike path, it's a great place to people watch. We weren't staying long or I would have totally gotten the butler service. Where for $50 you get a waiter, a nice spot on the sand with beach chairs and water bottles brought to you every 30 minutes or for $100 it comes with everything mentioned above plus lunch. If you aren't Perry royalty you order your food at the cafe window and pick it up when your number is called. I ordered a tuna melt (11.95) and my friend had the steak burrito (10.95). It was made fairly quickly. My tuna melt was meh. Way too cheesy, in my opinion. Her steak burrito was very good. I wish I had ordered that. Good thing BFFs share everything! Water was $3.50. That's a lot! But, I guess they know people will need it and will buy it. The scenery and people watching was awesome. Fun place to park your bike and grab a bite to eat. They also do bike rentals. 1 hour - $10 3 hours - $15 All day - $30 Perry's Beach Cafe, 3 stars! read more

My post Marathon meal! Awesome GUACAMOLE TURKEY BURGER as recommended by their staff. Last thing I wanted to do was to think and choose so I let others decide where to eat and what to eat. But yeah,it was very fulfilling. It was across the street of LAM finish line so we walked. The weather was at high 90's so the location played along. Beach side,iced diet coke,outside seating and happy people around us made it a super great Sunday. My friends enjoyed their chicken strips and quesadilla with hot crispy fries dipped in mayo and ketchup. It was so relaxing that I buried my feet in the sand! read more

Perry's Cafe is super convenient when you are hungry at the beach and didn't bring any food with you. They have a varied menu with healthy alternatives and a wide range of options. My only negative comment would be that it can take quite a while for you to get your food. But, in all honesty, food should take a little bit to make and if you can't wait, then you're probably better off going to a fast food joint. read more

Im a local in dogtown, but i don't like schlepping the stupid bike. so on Sundays i like to come down here to Perrys (like i did yesterday) and rent the tricycle with the big basket in the back for my doggy. The doggy doesn't really like it, but i love it . . . it's fun, it's exercise, its sun, its life. Perry's comes through every time. They are polite, helpful, and reasonably priced. For ten bucks i get my dream bike without all that schlepping. such a deal! read more

Pros: beautiful beach side view, bike rentals connected to the building for convenience, large food portions and real laid back! Cons: little pricey in my opinion, but the portions are large so it makes sense. It was $20 for my California omelet, plus avocado & a medium ice coffee. It's an easy Monday afternoon so there's light foot traffic, but I can imagine this place can get busy.... Which isn't a bad thing :) but come with patience if there's a line... It's worth it! Overall pretty great! The relaxing chairs and view is unbeatable ! read more

Hey, it's nice to dig your feet into the cold sand under the umbrella seating and take in the weekend via beach view~ * WOA: - PCH beach lot parking is $10 all-day, few lots all along the route. - Don't come here if you're expecting quick bite.

I've read a lot of the mixed reviews of this place, and I can't comment on the rentals... but I will agree with the people who complain about the service. It's MOLASSES slow. "Not fast food" doesn't make an egg sandwich take a half hour. Slow people do. I went on a weekday morning. there was no one in front of me in line, and they were not busy. I've seen it busy. They're just slow, and really don't hustle for anything. The price is also kinda outlandish for some items. I get it, it's on the beach, and I'm sure the cost of doing business there is high. But still, higher than expected. I will say, though, that the egg sandwich I did get, (which was $10.95!) was insanely good. I really enjoyed it. Wish I could give them more stars... but they need to work on the service, speed and pricing. read more
