    Outside seating
    John K.

    Very Casual restaurant Surf vibe Close to the beach Food Ordered at the front counter before you sit down. Cashier taking order was pleasant and competent Beverages served in paper cups Food served on paper plates No wait staff yet they still ask for a tip when paying up front. Seats about 25-30 inside, perh

    View from the outdoor little seating area (zoomed in)

    Cafe Wild is a cute, (bigger than you think) small café, with indoor and outdoor seating. Some of the outdoor seats are close enough to the ocean view, which is very nice. You have to order inside first and then snag seating, unless you have people with you to hold a spot. If you want that little spot with an ocean view you have to be quick! Haha It's all metered street parking and the signs feel like a NYC street sweeping day. But, if you're there during the week, it's pretty easy to find a spot. On a weekend I can only imagine it would be quite some work. I believe there's a lot close by. The food was pretty basic. Nothing over-the-top. Breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, lunch, etc. Very very basic flavors. But it's a relatively quiet and calm area to get breakfast or lunch at and maybe get some work done. Pricing is pretty average as well.

    I needed to update the review because I recalled there were numerous flinging insects that greatly detracted from our experience. I believe they were gnats or flies. It was uncomfortable having to repeatedly swat at those pesky intruders

    Vegan Hash
    Praachi S.

    I loved Cafe Wild! From service to ambiance to quality and quantity of food, everything was amazing! The employees are extremely friendly and accommodating for allergies and ingredient preferences! I had the vegan hash but was able to remove the mushrooms and quinoa and replace with another vegetable! Food came out fairly quickly, and wow!! So goooooddd! Would come here again just for the potatoes! Perfectly crispy and seasoned! Absolutely amazing experience! It's a quiet and relaxed vibe, which makes it easy to socialize and have a good time! Plenty of seating inside and some seating outdoors! There is metered parking outside but no parking lot designated for cafe wild! Would highly recommend!

    Brunch Menu

    Great service and friendly people. The coffee is so so, but the food is awesome and cooked with care. I know it can get crazy busy here, so thankful I got to try it. We came at 10:45am, and all the outside seating was taken. But, got to enjoy the food and good conversation with my boys. Enjoy!

    Breakfast burrito
    Scott N.

    We had a good little breakfast here - got the burrito, hash & breakfast tacos. Everything was made fresh and the eggs were cooked perfectly. We got some Mimosas and they were generous with their OJ/champagne ratios! We sat on the street and that was a nice option!

    Banana Caramel Pancakes
    Bethany L.

    Cute cafe by the beach- order at kiosk and you seat yourself with a table #. Banana pancakes and french toast were not too sweet, which is usually my gripe with sweet breakfast items! Breakfast sandwich looks good but I didnt personally try it. Prices are average for the area.

    There was absolutely no reason not to do a full 5 stars for this experience! It was simple, last day of my LA trip with my daughter. Returning to MN to suffer the wrath that is winter...I wanted to eat somewhere by the beach, go for a walk, sit outside. This isn't hard in this neighborhood but I am also a foodie and trying to eat healthier in general but love that about SoCal. My daughter and I walk past, looked at the menu and the seating options and it was an easy choice! Sat down outside on the sidewalk with a view of the ocean on a wonderful December morning! I ordered the breakfast burrito with some kind of side and a coffee...my daughter...I think she had some eggs Benedict thing, an almond danish and some fancy drink! Food came out quick and it was delicious. Great ingredients , great service and there is no better view. All fantastic. Love small places that care so much about the food and the ingredients ! I would definitely come back, so many choices in this area but so worth the visit! KT

    Looking for some vegan breakfast, and found this adorable cafe the Vegan Hash with an Almond Milk Latte fit the bill! I will definitely return, the staff is helpful and accommodating, the location is charming! Just blocks from the beach! Wonderful way to start the day!

    Vegan Hash with an egg
    Lynn N.

    This place was super friendly, freaky fast and had a great outdoor seating option! The food was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed my vegan hash. It was a great way to start the day!

    Smoked Salmon Toast
    Jack L.

    Your typical dime a dozen brunch spot in an affluent area that is quite overpriced for what you get. Ambiance is fine with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was friendly although it took over half an hour to get our food during a time of the morning that was not very busy. Food was pretty good, but nothing spectacular especially looking at the price for what we got. Was nice to go there once, but I would not go out of my way to eat here again.

    Good Vibes Burrito
    Christine L.

    This is such a cute brunch cafe right by Manhattan Beach with the friendliest staff! The guy taking our orders was actually so nice and helpful, definitely embodying that kind beachy vibe. We sat outside which was cute with the blue exterior of the cafe and was great for enjoying the nice weather. For food we split the Smoked Salmon Toast and Good Vibes Burrito with chicken sausage. The toast was yummy with the everything bagel seasoning, and the burrito was hearty and delicious. The salsa and hot sauce was definitely helpful for the burrito. We got the burrito with the breakfast potatoes, which were tasty and went well with everything. I also got a cappuccino, which was frothy and good.

    Cutest cafe we came across on our early morning. The sun was shining and just a light breeze so it was perfect to sit outside. The pancakes were delicious especially that cinnamon butter it comes with. The smoked salmon toast was good and that poached egg was perfect. My mom had the point break breakfast sandwich with no egg and she loved it. The service was great as well. They speak Spanish which is a plus. As for parking if you are out and about early then parking won't be an issue (street parking). You order and pay on the spot. They bring your food to wherever you sit. The coffee was amazing, they have a station on the side where you sweeten it to your liking. Will be back!

    Breakfast is amazingly great here I always get the steak and eggs or the chilaquiles. Definitely recommend both plates.

    Romantic vibe

    I came across some photos on my social media from when I visited The Strand House in Manhattan…read moreBeach on August 30th, 2020. Located right by the beach, the restaurant has an absolutely amazing ocean view. I remember having brunch there, and everything we ordered was delicious. I also remember the service being very friendly and welcoming. Today, a friend mentioned that she had been there, and it suddenly brought back memories of my own visit. So I went searching through my old photos and found these. Manhattan Beach used to be one of my favorite places to visit, and I went there quite often back then. Looking at these photos makes me want to go back again soon.

    We were greeted by Jason (came to find out, he's the manager). Curt, abrupt, not very personable…read more He seated us...next to numerous open tables. We requested a booth right behind us. We were told it was not available...that they had reservations already set. As a side note, I too had made a reservation. Marina was our server...difficult to pin down exactly how I felt about her. Nice, but not super nice. I felt like we were a chore. The whole reason for my review is the bussing staff...THEY. WERE. INCREDIBLE! Each and every one of them were personable, had the biggest smiles, and were genuinely caring people. They joked with us and made the whole experience worth it. The food was delicious. The ambiance is a bit too uppity for me. Great place to grab a drink...the bar is lovely and the servers were great. Back to Jason and "the table". Two booth tables sat empty the entire two hours we were there. My first time dining there...not in a hurry to return.

    Okay, first piece of advice... GET HERE EARLY! We got to Quality Seafood around 9:30 AM and there…read morewas already a line. By 11:30, every table was pretty much taken. So if you think you're going to casually stroll in around lunchtime and grab a table... good luck lol. Now for the important part -- the seafood! The crab was SO fresh and absolutely delicious. The oysters were a little pricey, not gonna lie, but they were definitely worth it. Everything tasted super fresh and you really can't beat sitting by the water eating fresh seafood. Overall, we had a great experience and I would definitely come back. Just remember: come hungry and COME EARLY!

The bad: the food/order pick-up system for items that need to be grilled/fried is chaotic. You're given a number to pick up your order by the cashier and directed to the pick up window. There is someone assigned to the grill area and a different person handles the side dishes. There does not appear to be any system of communication between the two areas such that the protein is held under the heat lamp area until the other person adds the side dish (fries, coleslaw, etc) to complete the order. To make things even more chaotic, the staff does not consistently call out numbers when to food is ready for pickup. Instead, the customers crowd the pick up area calling out their own order numbers to see if it's ready. The staff is nice and they seem to try their best overall, but their current system needs to be improved.
