Surfinista Café has such a cool Cocoa Beach vibe -- laid-back, beachy, and full of character. The shop itself is adorable, and their merch is actually super cute. I ended up eyeing the tank tops, hoodies, and beanies with their logo -- they're the kind you'd actually want to wear, not just souvenir stuff. Food-wise, everything was really good. I had a tuna sandwich -- no frills, just fresh, simple, and delicious. The double chocolate chip banana muffin was amazing (definitely worth grabbing with your coffee). My nephew had the overnight oats, and they were a total hit. The only downside was the service. We stood waiting for several minutes while the employees chatted about a work issue and joked about how "the customer isn't always right." Not exactly the energy you want when you're ready to order. Still, once we got our food, everything hit the spot. Great place overall -- I'd definitely go back for the food, the atmosphere, and maybe a hoodie on my way out.
10/10 Perfect spot for a quick, light morning bite! The matcha chia seed pudding was fresh, flavorful, and just the right balance of simple and satisfying. Great vibe, fast service--definitely adding this café to my regular rotation. Highly recommend!
3.5 overall I went here for lunch while in Cocoa Beach. I enjoyed the service and loved the vibe! I purchased the Barney juice and it was pricy for the size. However, the juice was fresh and delicious! I would buy the juice again despite the price. I would try another flavor too because the Janice was very fresh! My food was just okay! I enjoy avocado toast but the toast used for this was huge like Texas toast. I feel like smaller slices of toast would have been adequate for this dish. The taste was good and I would try another time of the menu when I return. Part of the reason I gave a 3.5 rating was that a patron was having a full on Zoom meeting in the cafe. They were loud and you could hear every word of their meeting. The person was not wearing headphones. It detracted from the chill and relaxing atmosphere. Overall, I will be back and would order another juice and food item. Try The Surfinista if you are in Cocoa Beach. Note that there is limited free parking but there are pay to park spots near the cafe.
Our FAVORITE coffee shop and cafe while in the area! Their matcha latte was the best in town and staff was also so friendly. It is a small surf shop but mostly their merch and seating for dine in. The bagel with lox was especially delicious and a huge portion. We ended up here for tea and coffee every morning with a final stop on our out of town for Surfinista swag to wear home. Great community staple right here!!
Great food and vibe even if you don't get vegan! Mostly vegan but they have actual tuna and chicken dishes as well Vegan chili had a nice spicy kick and good texture. I don't know what the fake meat was, but I'll be happy in my ignorance as it tasted good My daughter did not like the Peanut butter and jelly kids sandwich because the bread was too healthy. So she stole my tuna salad in chili instead as these met her picky criteria. PS i enjoyed her p b and j Cafe Au Lait with whole milk was well flavored and perfect Turtle Brownie was outstanding!! I am not sure If the coconut hints came from a coconut oil or dairy substitute, or was just part of the intended flavor. At any rate, it gave off that chocolate, caramel, coconut, pecan flavor that was super moist in one of the top few brownies i've had from a cafe. The decor was entertaining to look at and we played ping pong while we waited for our food. Overall nice experience. Give them a try! By the way, I think I got a ten or fifteen percent military discount.
This was a really cool cafe that has a ton of açaí bowls and other breakfast/lunch options. They also have coffee, matcha and many other drinks. Unfortunately I got a açaí bowl and didn't realize there was wheat granola in it so I had to throw it out. Definitely make sure you ask for GF granola because it comes with wheat by default. The açaí bowl looks very tasty but I was unable to eat it. The protein balls on the other hand were delicious and gluten free. I would recommend them.
Great coffee shop with other goodies, indoor & outdoor seating, attached surf & ukelele store, great coffee, steady service with an organized system. Definitely crowded every time I went. Not consistent in the almond milk they use. Had a great latte the first day, the second day they used a different milk and it was horrible. Made a great Hawaiian banana bread and protein balls. Several nice Asian(Hawaiian?) salads for grab 'n goes. If we got the almond milk situation figured out, this would be my daily stop.
This was a very cute find in Cocoa Beach. It was crowded but the service was quick and the food was good! They have different types of avocado toast. Mine came with vegan egg, cheese, tomato, spinach, and balsamic glaze. It was amazing!! They also have some huge acai bowls and fresh baked breads and muffins. I will definitely return next time I am in the area.
Delicious açaí bowls and they are allergy friendly and was willing to remove things and add things in to pretty much customize what I ordered. Cute environment as well with art that was stunning
Love this spot. They have great options. Amazing smoothies, great cold brew, delicious vegan breakfast options and some pastries and yummy pressed juices and beverages to choose from as well. I love the location and ambiance of this spot. Service is good and food comes out fast. A must when in the area.
The staff is friendly and fast. The shop has great beach products that are useful on a trip.
Surfinista has a super laid back and chill vibe. I love that they use clean ingredients and I don't have to wonder how much sugar is in everything. The smoothies at Surfinista are so fresh and have the perfect ratio of every ingredient. My favorite option from their bakery is the pistachio muffin. Their smoothie bowls and juice options are also so good. I love both locations and it's always a refreshing experience.
Upon entering we had a lovely server named Alina or Alana, and she was amazing! Very welcoming! The cafe seating and ambience were so beachy and comfortable and accessible. The coffee was amazing along with the Avocado Toast and many other food options our group ordered.

The food here was delicious! It was so nice to find a place that had vegan options and was open on a Monday and past 3pm. I ordered food to go so that I could eat at the beach. I ordered the Montauk which was like a vegan egg sandwich with coconut bacon, and the Domo Arigato Mr. Affogato which was Acai sorbet & coconut milk ice cream with a double shot of espresso which was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend eating here! read more
Ambience of this vegan/vegetarian friendly cafe is top tier! Easily sat a table of 6 whole providing lounge space and coworking areas. Beware! The parking lot behind this location is notorious for towing those who don't pay!! The lox bagel and coffee I got came out so quickly. The lox was not overly salmon flavored, which is a testament to its freshness. The micro greens were a perfect topping on this breakfast of mine. Great merch area too with inclusive sizes and cute branding. read more

I really enjoyed this café. Their ingredients are very clean, healthy and have a lot of vegan options. I took home blueberry coffee muffin, chocolate, chip muffin, banana bread, and a banana blonde brownie. All were very delicious. I tried their açai bowl with peanut butter as well, and it was divine. I had "the local" avocado toast. What I love is the size of the bread which was satisfying in size. The layers of avocado, arugula and watermelon radish was all a great combo. I had their iced coffee with caramel. I definitely want to try more things on their menu. they have a variety of places to sit outdoors and indoors. There are some cozy sofa spots and a section of tables in the back. Adjacent to the cafe is a retail store with really cool items. Their prices are reasonable. there is parking behind the café. It's such a relaxing vibe to come enjoy with friends or just read a book as you enjoyed delicious breakfast. read more

This place is incredible. It's exactly what you want before a day in the waves or after a morning of shell collecting. I have gone here multiple years on vacation and it's my go to spot for breakfast or a healthy snack. Their smoothies are unreal, and I love that most of them don't have dairy. The food is super delicious and fresh. The girls that work in here are super helpful and kind. They're the kind of girls you wanna be besties with. The vibes are so good, they have the right music and tone for what the place is. Even the outdoor area is aesthetic asf. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. read more
Very cute spot, with cool seating and shopping area. All the food is basically vegan so they don't have any real meat. The curry sandwich was tasty, but I asked for sourdough bread and the bread didn't have much taste. The poke bowl was tiny and salty. You need to look at the menu while you're on line, or you'll feel rushed once you get to the register and order. read more

Looooove this place. Such a cool, eclectic atmosphere. Little gift shop to buy surfer gear and cafe merchandise. Lots of seating. Not to mention a ping pong table, what more could you want. read more
This is a little gem of sunshine in Cocoa Beach. I was staying close by and decided to give this place a try for a quick breakfast before heading to the beach. I had a bagel with cream cheese, spinach and tomato which was very good. The star of the show was my green smooths. It was not too sweet, cold and very delicious. The restaurant space is super welcoming, and a comfortable space to enjoy the food especially when the weather is hot and sticky! I did knock off one star because I would love t suggest a menu changes my 15 year old son was so excited for what was labeled in the menu as "French toast" but in actuality was just dry toast with banana and walnuts. He was very disappointed because it was not what he expected. read more

Food is amazing and lots of vegan options but the ping pong table area has a smell of urine and sweat and I hope Somebody changes this soon read more
Such a great place to go for a healthy breakfast or lunch. There are so many options!!! The atmosphere is 100% surfers . There are so many cute spots to have your coffee or eat inside the restaurant. It's clean and there is a lot of attention to details. The service is quick and food is tasty. Definitely plan to go back when I'm in the area again. read more

Great EVERYTHING. Coffee is roasted on location. Vegan. Homebakes. Indoor ping pong. Surf shop. Artist's gallery. Owner's Bruce and Diane are cool heads (and FREY is the legit legendary OG pop artist). In Cocoa Beach the Surfinistas are ALWAYS coming! read more
Absolutely delicious acai bowls! Tons of fresh fruit and granola! Lots of granola throughout. I was also so happy to know that the granola is both gluten free and vegan. We got ours to go and I was pleasantly surprised how large the container was. You definitely get your moneys worth. The inside of the restaurant is super cute and funky. Has a Cali vibe. The girls working behind the counter were great. Attentive + kind. Can't wait to visit again. read more
