One of the highlights of our beach days is picking up food from Hangout Restaurant. It's become a…read moretradition for us! The location couldn't be better, it's conveniently right across from the beach, making it the perfect place to grab takeout and enjoy a meal with an ocean view. My go-to order is always the chicken pesto pasta. It's creamy, flavorful, and honestly one of the main reasons I keep coming back. I haven't found another place near me that makes a pesto pasta quite like theirs, so I always make sure to order it whenever we're here. Their burger and tacos are equally delicious, too! This location is almost always busy, which says a lot, but the service has consistently been friendly and efficient. Even with the crowd, the staff does a great job keeping things moving. Great food, great service, and an unbeatable location. Looking forward to many more visits.

Bottom Line Up Front: The Crema Cafe is a bakery and…read morerestaurant that will satisfy both your sweet tooth and savory craving -- so long as you don't mind paying a premium. The Food: In the past, I've come only for the dessert, but this review will focus on my most recent visit when my wife and I had brunch here. I ordered the quiche Lorraine, a classic variety that featured ham, cheese, and bacon. It was firm, hearty, and delicious. The wife thought it was a little dry, but then again I like hard boiled eggs and she prefers them runny, so I chalk it up to personal preference. My wife had the breakfast burrito, which was stuffed with all kinds of goodness, including egg, ham, bacon, and chorizo con papa. We both really liked it but thought it had just a hint of sausage. If it was more meaty, it would have been flawless. The Location: It's located on Main Street near the beach, so street parking is extremely limited. I came on a Tuesday morning and didn't have an issue, but lunchtime and weekends are insnae. Visit off peak hours to avoid the traffic jam or a long wait. The Setting: Crema is a medium sized establishment, with about half the space taken up by the bakery line. Fortunately, there's an outdoor seating area with about another 10 tables. Since we brought our dogs, we chose the latter option and enjoyed the shade provided by the umbrellas. Everything is clean and well organized. The Service: The customer service is great. The staff was all polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. The Price: This is really the only con: everything is 10% to 20% more expensive here. I call it the beach tax. Shops along any beach can implement it because people are willing to pay it in order to enjoy the amenities and location. The Conclusion: The Crema Cafe is one of our go-to restaurants for brunch and dessert any time we come to Seal Beach. It's not flawless, but we always leave happy.

Once we were sat, we decided on ordering the breakfast burrito with chorizo and the nutella french toast. For drinks we ordered the dirty chai with oatmilk and a regular chai latte. The drinks were okay nothing too special. The outdoor seating was very cute, super nice since it is right by the beach. As for the food, I thought the burrito was okay, I can't say it was something I'd come for again. As for the nutella french toast, it was also okay, put nutella on anything and I'll eat it, but I'd love to come back to try other things on the menu. The service was okay, my server was not very attentive, and I was looking for her everywhere, but maybe it was a bit busy.. Overall, this is a very cute spot, I would come back to try other things on the menu due to the location and wide variety on their menu. As for the service, I'm hoping it was just a backed up and stressful day.

Then as she approached our table, placed our stuff down on the table and just walked away. Not a great start but I chalked it up to them being busy for Fathers Day. We sat at our table for more than 10 minutes, never bing greeted by a server. We finally got up and went to buffet to get food came back and started eating and still hadn't been greeted. I finally went to the hostess stand to ask for a server so we could at least get some water. Food was ok for being brunch food. But the service was disappointing.

We came back on a Sunday lunchtime and they were already packed (they open at 1030am). We were quoted an hour and a half wait again. As we were about to leave the hostess suggested that "if you're really starving, bar sitting is available and has a better view, but they're high top tables..." like it's a last-resort option because it's inconvenient??? We sat by the window where we can see the water; server acknowledged us after 5 minutes. We ordered Bloody Marys, 5-pc albacore sashimi, I love the sear on it, and its freshness; clam chowder: 5 out of 5, fish and chips which is alright, Kraken Shrimp on top of sweet chili sauce that comes with another sweet glazy dip. I opted to avoid dipping. Overall it was a nice experience!

As much as I would have liked to give this place five stars, our experience was disappointing from…read morethe very beginning. We had reservations for 8:00 p.m. When we checked in, the hostess told us that the party at our table had until 8:30 p.m. to finish. This was never communicated to us beforehand which they said was noted they did, the hostesses were very nonchalant about the situation instead of offering a better solution. They eventually seated us, but it was all the way in the back of the restaurant where we had to ask for the candles and fire place to be lit Because of that, it took a while for our server to get to us, and our drinks took longer than expected to arrive. That said, our waitress was absolutely amazing, friendly, attentive, and the highlight of our visit. She provided excellent service despite the circumstances and definitely deserves five stars. As we were getting seated, the hostess asked if we had been informed that they were having issues with their roof and that their barbecue was out of service. We had not been told anything about this prior to arriving. As a result, the menu was extremely limited, with no steaks or burgers available. This was especially frustrating because those were the main reasons our group chose this restaurant. Had we been notified ahead of time, we would have appreciated the opportunity to decide whether we still wanted to dine there or make reservations elsewhere. To make matters even more disappointing, we were there celebrating my birthday. It seemed like the restaurant either forgot or there was a miscommunication, because the birthday dessert wasn't brought out until after we had already received the bill. It made the celebration feel like an afterthought, which was disappointing on what was supposed to be a special occasion. Overall, the service from our waitress was outstanding, but the lack of communication and poor handling of the situation by the host staff really impacted our experience. The fancy pizza was average (3 stars), chicken piccata was great (5 stars), while the appetizers were good (4 stars) and the wines by the glass were very overpriced coming from someone in the wine business. Unfortunately, the disappointing start, limited menu, and overlooked birthday celebration made this visit fall far short of our expectations.

I also added a side of their crispy bacon, which was definitely worth it -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing since I got there right when they opened, which made it even more enjoyable. It's a smaller spot, but cozy, with both indoor and outdoor dining options. Overall, it was a great breakfast experience and I would definitely come back again.

This place is honestly a joke…read more We waited in line for almost 2 hours while security kept people outside for no reason -- and when we finally got in, there was so much open space inside. It wasn't even close to full. They're clearly holding people outside on purpose to create fake hype, which is honestly pretty messed up. You're telling me dozens of people are stuck waiting forever while there's plenty of room inside? It's giving manufactured crowd and poor management. To make it worse, they stopped serving drinks and turned the lights on at 1:15 AM, way earlier than literally any normal bar. So after wasting hours in line, you barely even get time inside. And it somehow gets worse -- at 1:35 AM they were literally kicking people out of the restroom. We weren't even allowed to finish or wash our hands before being rushed out. That's not just rude, it's straight up unhygienic and disrespectful. Overall, completely overhyped, disorganized, and not worth the wait at all. Don't fall for the line -- it's fake.

This review is only for their salsa/bachata dancing night and the bar…read more The bungalow has weekly salsa/bachata nights that include free dance lessons from 8 to 9:30. The instructors are great and the crowd is fun diverse (in terms of age, background, and experience dancing). The djs are also awesome play a lot of good music. The vibe is fun and high energy. It's nice to see a place that is filled with dancers of all skill levels just having fun and learning to dance. The venue itself is beautiful. They have a large open air dance floor that overlooks the marina as well as a smaller dance area inside near the pool tables. The decore is classy and elegant overall. On salsa nights they have drink specials in addition to the regular drink menu. Lastly I once lost my key fob there and someone returned it to their lost and found. I'm forever grateful to whomever returned it and the staff at the front door / lost and found. Overall it's an awesome place to come out and hang out and dance.

What an unexpected but delightful dining experience…read more Initially, we had our names down for a popular cafe but decided last minute to eat here for beer and burgers. Great choice. At entry, it was awkward. Bartenders/workers avoided eye contact and no greeting. I told my partner we'll just go back to the cafe for our spot bc this was so awkward. A patron heard and told us to just seat ourselves. ...had I left, I definitely would've given this place 1 stars for such awkward service .... Anyway, I'm assuming the owner, who was also at the bar gave us menus once we sat down. Ordered tuna nachos, fish tacos and a burger. Tuna nachos -surprisingly fish was fresh and tasty. This was a very tasty dish. Fish tacos, I didnt try but my partner said it was delicious and very filling. My burger, I request medium but it came out well-done. Not too big an issue since burger was still yummy. Solid dishes. Lots of regulars it seems. A great food establishment with lots of beers on tap, tv's and great window seating.
