    Definitely a must try. I got the breakfast burrito with bacon and it did not disappoint. Their banana latte with cold foam was the best I've ever tried. The staff here is super friendly and attentive. Very clean and spacious on the inside with a beachy/ surf vibe. This is a good place to catch up with friends or work on your laptop. They also have dog treats so very pet friendly.

    A nice little cafe in a quiet HB plaza! I came here on a Monday morning for brunch and tried their seasonal Pistachio drinks. The coffee and matcha were both delicious! They had a strong matcha and coffee taste even with the Pistachio cream top, which I've had at other places and they were too milky. I also got the Chicky Chicky Bang Bang wrap which had grilled chicken. I was expecting it to be a cold wrap but it was freshly grilled chicken so it was hot and juicy! Lots of sauce oozing outside lol not sure I would get it again but I would come back to try their other foods like the breakfast bowls, burritos, sandwiches, and other drinks!! The atmosphere is really cute with very HB decorations. There's plenty of tables and would be a good spot to get some work done. Restrooms are also very nice and clean which is a plus!

    Banana Bliss Latte

    I came here just to grab some coffee, I got the Banana Bliss Latte. It was really tasty and sweet with banana cold foam and cinnamon on top. The place was pretty packed and the food looked good. Probably have to come back and try the food some time.

    What a beautiful cafe. I love the vibe- it's very welcoming with a lot of energy. The food is AHMAZING! No seed oils , the bacon is smoked on site. The best bacon I have ever had. The portions are generous. We've been twice , both on Sunday after church. The first was just for coffee and matcha drinks. They have a seasonal menu- all very good. The second time, we had breakfast. My husband had a chorizo bowl. 4/5 I had the croissant breakfast sandwich with bacon. 10/5. It was delicious! The bacon was mouthwatering. My son had a breakfast burrito with Chorizo. A generous portion and very good. 5/5. I'm so happy we have such a quality cafe in HB.

    Smash Burgers w/ added bacon available Sundays only

    There's nothing to complain about when coming to Boardriders. The people here are amazing and always have a positive attitude. The place is always lively and bustling whenever I walk in. I've basically been coming here since they opened summer of 2025 and realized from Day 1 that they make the absolute best breakfast burritos/bowls in all of SoCal. I crave it every other week. I also appreciate how much effort and creativity they put into their drink creations while also maintaining how tasty they are. The smash burgers that are only available on Sundays are so worth it! They're huge, juicy and don't make my stomach hurt like other ones do. I'd come here everyday if I lived closer.

    Went here after a work out and it was soooo delicious and tasted so fresh! It was a nice day out when I visited this location with a friend so we chose to sit outside. The staff were so friendly patient and helpful. I do not live close by or else I would be here more often but definitely plan on going back

    Fresh pressed juice

    Next stop on my quest to find the best coffee in OC was this cute establishment. I went for the banana bliss coffee, which everyone said was so delicious. I was very tempted to get a breakfast burrito, but I wasn't that hungry but it's definitely on my radar for next time. I did however snag a fresh pressed green juice along with my coffee. In my opinion, the banana bliss coffee was not life-changing. It was a decent coffee, but the banana cream topper didn't stand out. Maybe it's because I drink my coffee with a straw so maybe that's why I wasn't getting the correct sips but the tropical green juice was amazing. It was so good even my picky five-year-old loved it. This is such a very low-key and freshly new place. I love how only true locals know about it. A bit on the pricier side for my coffee and my juice. I paid almost 20 bucks but that seems to be about the going rate for specialty coffee and quality juice in this area. The cashier was also very nice and helped me navigate the coffee options. I'll definitely be back to try a different coffee and hopefully I'll have an appetite for breakfast.

    Tried this place out which is in a quaint strip mall off brookhurst and bushard near the beach. We were blown away be the super chill surf vibe, family friendly service of the staff and the amazing menu. All of their food is clean which is so rare these days. The OJ was fresh squeezed and was so good. the coffee drinks rival in any specialty coffe store and the almond croissant was in a word...perfect. Now for the best part (drumroll) the breakfast burrito is the best in all of Huntington Beach. The brown sauce took me back to my college days in san diego eating the classic burritos from santanas. This beats that joy of my younger years any day of the week. I hate sharing all of this because the line is about to get long. This will become your go to place once you have tried it.

    Boardriders Cafe has a friendly vibe. The drinks and food are great. The Big Tuna is delicious, I want to go back and have it again soon! The banana and matcha lattes give me a needed boost, while tasting so good. There are so many items on the menu that I look forward to trying!

    Banana bliss latte

    Can't say enough good things about Boardriders Cafe. I'm visiting from Northern California and am truly jealous this doesn't exist where I live. I appreciate the no seed oil mission and have never had a better latte. I got to eat both a breakfast bowl and a chicken sandwich during my visit and would gladly go back again and again in the future. I wish the owners lots of luck and lots of success! I am looking forward to the next time I visit HB just so I can enjoy a banana latte

    Mamas Burrito Bowl
    Greg S.

    First time here and was greeted at the counter by Donavan who was super friendly and guided me thru the process of how to order ( order at the counter and they call out your name when it's ready ) My son and I both had the mama's burrito bowl with sausage and chorizo respectively. Plenty of food and the taste was amazing! Will definitely be back! Highly recommend it. Billy the owner has a great spot here. Please support this local business.

It's a quick service type of spot, and you see quite a few people studying as well. Starting off, we ordered the spicy vodka rigatoni, the parmesan fries, and the poke bowl, and the cashier at the front was very nice and accommodating with recommendations and questions we had. After we ordered, we sat down and were quickly served with our strawberry lemonade and blueberry mint lemonade, which were both pretty solid a bit on the tart side. Shortly after, we were served with all the dishes we ordered. I was not expecting to like the poke bowl so much, it had tuna, avocado, rice, cucumber and veggies, and the poke was super tasty, great texture and surprisingly fresh. I loved all the textures in the bowl. Into the parmesan truffle fries, they were super hot, very crispy, loved how much parmesan was on top, but I wish it had a little more truffle as some bites tasted more like truffle than the other. It came in a super big, shareable portion which I loved. Lastly the spicy vodka rigatoni, very solid pasta, I liked how it was cooked all dente, not overcooked. Came very hot as well which I loved. It was a solid pasta, but nothing too crazy. Overall the service was great, I love how quick the service was. The ambience was lovely, you can come here to catch up with friends, or have a nice study session, or a cute date spot! The food was solid, but I would say if u come here definitely get the poke bowl! Super delicious and fresh!! Highly recommend you try this spot!

The lady who helped me - dark hair, really overly colorful eye makeup, and tattoos - processed the transaction but handed me the card without a receipt. When I asked for one, she spent a moment at the screen and then told me she couldn't print it because she had already closed out my tab. I was confused why 1) she didn't give me a receipt in the first place, then 2) she decided that was the only solution - to tell me it could not be done. After I asked her to find a solution as I needed a copy of the receipt, she finally asked her colleague beside her, who pointed her to the right place, and, voila, the receipt was printed. Leading with "I can't" is never the right customer service instinct, especially for something as basic as a receipt. I also tried to buy the butter they import from France. I stood at the case for several minutes with no acknowledgment. I finally walked over to the nearest employee (her name was Lucy) who was finishing up with a customer at the register right next to the butter section. I politely asked if she could help me when she was free. She looked at me, nodded, and said she would. Then proceeded to assist every customer who lined up behind that original customer without once glancing back in my direction. In fact, I had enough time to walk to the bakery, go through the entire gift card situation as mentioned above, and return to the butter section, and Lucy still hadn't looked over. I left without the butter. Moulin used to have fantastic service. I don't know where those regulars went, but two strikes in one visit, with two different employees, is hard to brush off.
