    Bacon breakfast burrito
    Catrin W.

    We skipped coffee this time and just ordered breakfast burritos. We were so bummed to see the chorizo burrito was discontinued! The bacon burrito and avocado burrito were still really good. If I had a complaint, it would be that you pay extra for adding either avocado or bacon, when the burrito needs them for flavor. They don't have their own salsa, but offer Tapatio if you want it. Overall, they were pretty good but I'm excited to try something else next time. Come here to support the nice staff members, listen to good music, and be walking distance to good stores. Lines are long but the wait is worth it. 3.9/5

    What a cutie spot right across the beach! We came on a weekend and it got really busy right after we ordered - came at just the right time! What we ordered: banana bread latte, strawberry matcha, huckleberry donut, chicken pesto quesadilla, and the spanakopita. The drinks were decent! I do wish the matcha had a stronger matcha flavor as it was a bit sweet for my liking. The chicken pesto quesadilla was yummy + a generous portion! The spanakopita is a unique pastry I don't see often, and I was excited to give it a try! The donut was great, and even better warmed up.

    Unfortunately didn't have a good experience. What costs $30 worth of food, I wasn't able to enjoy and wasn't really a meal. I didn't take a picture of the quiche but it was super undercooked. The crust was soggy. Egg was runny liquidy slop and honestly I tried to eat it despite that and was just unpleasant. I ended up just not eating it. The poptart and fruit was the only redeeming quality. Pop tart was truly the best pastry I've had in a hot second. I wanted to like this place so bad but unfortunately the quiche left a bad taste in my mouth as well as the super inflated prices. Place feels like a overhyped spot, would recommend trying places a few miles away without the long lines and pricey food.

    An adorable cafe! I stopped by this cafe to grab a latte and a baked good. And, I received a delicious decaf oatmeal latte and a recommended lemon poppy seed muffin which I devoured! Service is kind. They have a small team of warriors who are ready and consistent in keeping the place clean. There's an accessible restroom that is also well kept. Outlets are hard to find so I wouldn't recommend this as a study spot. WiFi is available. The plating captures any tea-party lovers. However, it's a great place to check out before visiting the Newport Beach public library. God bless you all!

    Banana bread latte

    The cafe is really cute and the silverware and porcelain are very aesthetic. The service was pretty decent, we came for a walk and took about 5 minutes to order in line, then 15 for drinks and food. We got the banana bread latte and banana matcha. Both were really good. The latte was better, i enjoyed the drinks here. Also got a Mediterranean crepe, it was a bit bland and enough to feed two. Vibes were nice, it's not the biggest place but it's cute.

    What a great Cafè. We went this past week on 8/4/2026 & 8/5/2026 while staying in Laguna Beach. Great coffee, great cappuccino and amazing customer service. Great vibes at the Wild Strawberry Cafe. We also had oatmeal and a breakfast burrito. Todd R.

    The matcha at Wild Strawberry Cafe immersed my senses into the perfect blend of sweet yet bold. The service was fantastic followed by scenic seating areas and a beach view a little walk across the street that could define one's weekend. Highly recommend checking out some time!

    Wild strawberry Cafe, just the name alone sounds like my kind of place. The decor here is really pretty, light and airy and simple. There are inside as well as outside seating, we sat inside. There's coffee, tea and other drink choices. They have some pastries and food items too. We had egg sandwiches which were good but a little expensive for what you get...they could add a little more, maybe a few potatoes or avocado or lettuce...ideas from a place I usually frequent that makes killer egg sandwiches. I'd come back and provide updates then. Mostly, it's a nice place to come with a coffee date and relax a bit.

    there was a line out the door but it moved pretty quickly! what we got: strawberry matcha chicken pesto quesadilla spanakopita coffee spiced donut? i forget the name exactly the food was sooo yummy!!! i loved the quesadilla and the spanakopita which i haven't heard of before but its spinach feta cheese cottage cheese and eggs wrapped in filo dough it was yummyyy! the strawberry puree in the matcha was yummy and the drink was very pretty, the matcha itself wasn't one of my favorites, but the drink generally was good. the donut was great! not too sweet and had great flavor. they have lots of to go wraps and sandwiches too along with a variety of bakery items which is nice! cute interior and vibe, some limited seating inside and outside

    Breakfast burrito

    Maybe ok for coffee and pastries but do not order the food here!! The breakfast burrito was really strange. Flavorless, squishy tortilla, and undercooked egg.. the breakfast tacos weren't any better. So disappointed because we live over an hour away and after a lot of research chose this cafe, based on all the good reviews. We tossed the food and left hungry and disappointed. The lemon poppy seed muffin was terrible dry. The chocolate loaf was the stand out. Moist and delicious. The chocolate chip cookie was also very good!

    The waits are a little longer as this delightful place is very popular but well worth it and fun to meet people in line too.

    Matcha raspberry scone is so good and moist, sweet but not too sweet.

    This is one of the sweetest looking breakfast spots I've ever seen, and fits quite nicely in Laguna Beach on the quieter side of PCH. I love the sunny space, and the blue and white china they serve the food in. They have lemon sugar crepes, which I rarely see, and I love its simplicity and subtle flavors. The fresh whipped cream they serve it with makes it perfect. The pastry case is the gem of this restaurant because everything looks mouthwateringly tempting, and the girls who work there are so nice and friendly. This is such a great neighborhood place to take your girlfriends or your moms or yourself for a nice time out.

    Nutella Crepe, Omelette, Nutella Latte (iced)

    Nice little quaint café out in Laguna, perfect for brunch before hitting the beach/shops. Breakfast items were delicious, and so were the pastries! Would definitely go back if I'm in the area again!

I've only been here a handful of times when there was no line, and that's usually because they had just opened.

I brought my two daughters so we each picked out one macaron. We got the raspberry, birthday cake and white chocolate basil flavors. The birthday cake was delicious and the filling was very soft and creamy, like a light whipped cream frosting (not a dense buttercream). I loved the texture. The white chocolate basil was surprisingly good! I love trying new unique flavor combinations and these worked really well together. The basil flavor was pretty subtle so it blended nicely into the white chocolate flavor. I didn't get to try the raspberry since my daughter devoured it, but she loved it! The macaron shop offered a lot of other flavors, so it had something for everyone. The cookies were beautifully decorated.

    We stopped in for a little treat after a quick visit to the beach. They have so many flavors!!…read moreThis month the theme was something along the lines of "sea mythology" (think mermaids, kraken, sea witches, etc.) so they had probably around 6 flavors with clever names to fit the theme. Besides that, they had all the standard gelato flavors, plus a ton more unique ones! I was tempted to try so many of them (even though I'm that person that always just orders chocolate chip or hazelnut anyway). My daughter picked taro and the "sea witch" flavor, which was purple sweet potato and squid ink caramel. She got to sample both of them before deciding since I wasn't sure if she would like those flavors, but she did! And even though she mainly picked them because they were purple, they actually complimented each other well since they were both sweet root vegetables haha. This place offered 4 different sizes (kid, small, medium and large). Even the kid size was a bit much for my 4 year old daughter, but it's probably the right size for like a 10 year old... Naturally I helped her finish it! The gelato was delicious and I loved the uniqueness of both of these flavors! The visual aesthetic was fabulous, too. Our server was very kind and patient as my daughter decided what she wanted. We sat in the store for a few minutes as we ate before we headed back to our parking meter. There were around 4 small tables with a couple chairs each for sitting. It seems like enough since most people probably grab n go since there's so much window shopping to do in this area. In summary, we loved this gelato shop and can't wait to see what future seasonal flavors they have!

I left questioning whether I have the self-control of a functioning adult. South Swell is the kind of place where you walk in thinking, "I'll just get a little ice cream," and five minutes later you're staring at a chocolate-covered, peanut-butter-drizzled architectural project wondering how your life got here. I ordered the chocolate ice cream bar, and my girlfriend went with vanilla soft serve, peanuts, and an Oreo cookie situation underneath it. Both were ridiculously good. Her dessert in particular looked like someone took a vanilla soft serve, dropped it into a construction zone, and then said, "Yeah. More peanuts." And the chocolate bar? Absolutely filthy in the best possible way. Chocolate, crunchy, creamy, peanut-buttery. basically every part of my brain responsible for making rational decisions just clocked out. I think I fucked up by not getting the bon fire or bomb fire. Whatever the fuck it's called. There was a pretty long line, so I'm not going to pretend we walked right in and were immediately handed dessert by the gods. We waited. But honestly? Worth it. It was worth it. Cus sometimes you have to be a worthless piece of shit waiting in a 30-40 minute line at 9 pm. For some soft serve. Because there's something about getting ice cream in Laguna Beach, walking around afterward, and realizing you just consumed enough sugar to potentially see through time that makes the whole experience work. I have diabetes now. Type 2. South Swell isn't trying to be some precious, overly sophisticated dessert destination. It's fun, indulgent, messy, nostalgic, and unapologetically excessive. Exactly what an ice cream shop should be. Would I wait in that line again? Unfortunately, yes. Maybe some day. Would I pretend I'm only getting one thing next time? Also yes. Am I fat piece of shit big back ? Yes. Yes. I am. Would that be a lie? No. I'm a big back. I'm obese. I have issues. 5/5. South Swell has my money, my dignity, and probably another 1800 calories waiting for me next weekend. God bless America. Don't go to Laguna beach though. Stay home. Stay out. I don't want to wait 45 minutes next time.
