Yum! Probably the best brunch that I've had this year. The food was delicious and the portion size was good. The cashier/server was nice. Prices were very good. Ordered three dishes and the total came out to be only $54, including a 20% tip. Just wished they had a little more shade for the outdoor sitting for a hot, sunny day like today. Would definitely come back! read more

Cafe Wild is what I call laid back lux. It's low key wild. Great service, fast, and quality food. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Very clean, slightly whimsical, and cozy. I ordered the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, bacon, and caffe latte. The coffee was really good. The pancakes were in fact a bit wild but very tasty. I didn't like the added sprinkle of cinnamon roll cereal at first, I felt it was a bit childish and tasted artificial, but everything else about the pancakes were on point and it was a huge portion. They can definitely be shared. I realized later the feral topping was the wild aspect of the dish however and that made me smile. The bacon was good quality, meaty and a nice portion. I will definitely be back. I want to try the meat lovers hash and the Tira Misu French toast...sounds wild right? read more

This place is solid when it comes to their food! The point break breakfast sandwich and bacon breakfast tacos were both very tasty! There are various sides you can get with you main (salad, potatoes, fruit, etc.). I appreciated the great service as well. Seriously, the person at the counter and serving the food is so friendly. There is ample seating inside and some tables out front that can seat 2-4. Bathrooms are gender neutral and are nice and clean. I am docking off a star because the price is generally steep ($18 for the breakfast sandwich, $21.50 for the breakfast tacos with fruit as the side) and parking is prettttty terrible. Also, note that their hours are from 8am-2pm daily so don't try to come for too late of a lunch! read more

Cafe Wild is a cute brunch spot right by Manhattan Beach. They have a lot of options on their menu that I had trouble deciding what to get. I ended up getting the Good Vibes breakfast burrito. It had scrambled eggs, peppers, and cheese. The burrito was good and very filling, but the breakfast potatoes that came with it were over fried and just not good. My sister's fiance got the Monte Cristo sandwich, which was a three layer French toast sandwich with ham and cheese, and loved it. I didn't try it, but it looked really tasty. My sister ordered the honey siracha fried chicken sandwich. It was a huge sandwich. You order inside and get a number to put on your table of choosing. Luckily, we got there before it got crowded and picked a table outside. It is located on a busy street so it's a pain to find parking. There are metered street parking. read more

TLDR: * Close walk to the beach * Friendly service * Get the Honey Sriracha Fried Chicken Sandwich Cafe Wild is located right by the beach, only took us 5-10 min to walk down there. Really good environment overall. The service was great too! Although it took 25-30 min to receive my sandwich, the folks there still tended to our needs and made sure all was good. For my first time there, I decided to trust my taste buds and get the Honey Sriracha Fried Chicken sandwich. As an average fried chicken sandwich enjoyer, I this was a pretty good meal. It included a choice of various sides, and I chose the sweet potato fries (delicious btw). Overall great food and an awesome first time experience! read more

Had brunch here on a Sunday and it was great! Ordered the vegan hash and added bacon and it was super flavorful. BF had the breakfast burrito with potatoes and he really liked it. We also had soy vanilla lattes that were yum. Service was excellent, too. Really kind staff, quick, and efficient. This is just a short walk away from the beach making it the perfect weekend brunch spot. I'm already looking forward to coming back! read more

I finally got to try this brunch place with my awesome SIL! As we walked in, we were greeted with an inviting and friendly staff and as I looked around, this restaurant is clean and cozy. Menu prices are affordable especially the mimosas that are sold by glass/bottle. I ordered california girl omelette and it did not disappoint. After ordering, we sat outside and enjoyed mimosas, scrumptious food and apricity. Metered parking is available best bet is to take an Uber/Lyft. We enjoyed our Manhattan Beach Pier walk after brunch. read more

The food, ambiance, mimosas, and customer service were amazing. I chose to sit outside because the weather was perfect.

Let me start by saying, we ate so fast we forgot to take pics of the food. Came here on a Saturday early afternoon for brunch and found some street parking. The outside area was pretty packed but after 15 min or so, my partner and I were able to grab a table to people watch and enjoy the nice weather. I got a mimosa and he got coffee. Both delicious! I ordered the berry stuffed French toast (OMG! So good, fluffy and just the right amount of sweet and fruity balance) and he got the good vibes burrito with avocado. The burrito was good but I wish the potatoes came inside of the burrito as opposed to potatoes on the side. I was under that impression when ordering. It is certainly filling, too. Note: you have to order at the front and then take a number (our food came out in about 20 min). I appreciated that the staff allowed us to linger as long as we wanted to even as they were cleaning up. I plan to come back. read more

This is our current place to order breakfast delivery from. They have amazing breakfast options, healthy, and with these crispy, yummy potatoes as a side, if you feel so inclined to order the potatoes. I usually get the eggs & bacon & potatoes, with a almond milk capuccino. It's pretty much what I order everytime I order breakfast-am I boring? I don't care :) I know what I like. My kids get the same too, but instead of over easy eggs they get scrambled. They love this place. Definitely give them a try!! read more

I came here for brunch with friends and we all really enjoyed our food. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to your table. It was a Sunday, so they were pretty busy and we ended up having to wait to find a free table outside. There isn't a ton of seating, so finding a spot could take a few minutes if you go during a busy time. I got the breakfast burrito with tater tots and really enjoyed my food. If you're in Manhattan beach I would recommend stopping by! read more

Very nice cozy place. Outdoor seating is usually reserved or taken. Food tasted fresh and flavors were great. We ordered the go-green burrito and the vegan hash and they were both great. We also got a cappuccino and a latte. The coffee here is really not good. It was so bitter we ended up leaving them untouched and getting coffee across the street at Two Guns! read more

Showed up for some breakfast because I saw a couple interesting menu items and let me tell you it was worth it. The staff was great and also friendly. I got the berry stuffed French toast with powder sugar the fruit it came with was fresh. It had strawberries, blueberries, and aside from that it also had some type of strawberry jam with whole strawberries inside of it and let me tell you it was worth it. The size of the French toast was pretty big and filling. It came with syrup on the side but for me the syrup wasn't needed the sweetness from the berries and the jam were great for me and a major plus was at the French toast was NOT dry at all because it was stuffed with the jam and if I'm not mistaken some thick whipped cream. We also got the caramelized banana pancakes those are also amazing the bananas were caramelized and they also added a bit of cinnamon to them which gave me an extra flavor punch. The pancakes were topped with caramel bananas and whipped cream what I liked about the cream was that it was thick so it didn't melt while eating the pancakes like most of the canned whipped cream. The pancakes were nice and fluffy NOT dry because we all know dry pancakes aren't good. Overall the flavors mixed well together so I would definitely recommend trying the banana pancakes if you have a chance. Finally we ordered I did the meat lovers omelette or the meat lovers scramble can't really remember which one it was but I thought it was also great. It came with chives which are my favorite but I think the pickled onions gave it a better flavor profile. The potatoes weren't dry which is a plus the melted cheese with the proteins and egg in the morning was just great. Ps: i forgot to take a pick of the new menu I thought I took one ;( but they have some new menu items. I will say what I also liked about this place was that they had compostable plates which is great especially around the beach area because it also helps save excess amount of unwanted waste. read more

We visited Cafe Wild on a Saturday morning just around the time the opened. Even at 8am the line of people was starting to form behind us. it's always a good sign when there is a line for a restaurant in my opinion. Upon entering we were greeted warmly and promptly by the staff behind the counter. Please note that you order and pay first at the counter. They friendly staff will then bring you your delicious meal to your seat. Regardless if you're inside or seated outside. On this this visit we went with the "Tiramisu French Toast" and the "Full English Breakfast". Let me tell you both meals were outstanding! The French Toast was sweet but not over sweet and adding the tiramisu was a great touch. Now parking in this area can be tricky! Street parking fills up fast, and the public garage about a block away fills up even faster. So being right off the beach give yourself time to circle around a few time to find a spot. Street parking and the garage are metered. Free street parking is a bit further away, and a bit harder to find. So yourself a favor and take a stroll on the Strand by the ocean afterwards and enjoy the fresh ocean air. It's only a block or two away. We can't wait to go back. read more

Cafe Wild - 16oz drip coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I went here for my birthday brunch with my boyfriend. We wanted to try a new breakfast/brunch spot near the beach! This location is a go-to brunch spot for the locals as it has nice indoor and outdoor seating and is only 2 blocks away from the beach! We knew we had to get the Monte Cristo Sandwich! It was a special 3-layer french toast sandwich with smoked ham, apple-smoked bacon, and melted cheese! It was the ultimate mashup between savory and sweet! You have to order this! We also ordered a side of Breakfast Potatoes which was something we definitely expected less of but it was enough to fill us both up! Another item we ordered was the Grilled Chicken BLT. It was a solid BLT sandwich with a heaping serving of fries and crunchy bacon! Last of all was the Mimosas! Because how else were we going to end off brunch??? P.S Please follow me and my boyfriend's Instagram food page @lovingyourtaste for more!! read more

Located on the northern end of Manhattan Beach and right next to North End Caffe, Cafe Wild is a fantastic unassuming place for a delicious brunch meal. The restaurant is deceptively large and opens to a decent sized dining area. The service is prompt and friendly, and the decor has a relaxing beachy vibe. We got the good vibes burrito which is served with breakfast potatoes and I thought it was delicious! If you were concerned about the size of the burrito, I wouldn't be. It's a packed burrito and comes stuffed with scrambled eggs and bacon. I loved how the mozzarella cheese was melted inside. We also got an order of the buttermilk pancakes and I thought it was good. They were definitely fluffy and comes with two giant pancakes. It's great for sharing if you ask me. If you want a nice brunch meal in Manhattan Beach and don't want to deal with the crowds over by the Strand, Cafe Wild is a great choice. read more

After reading many positive reviews, we decided to give it a try, and it did not disappoint! I'm not a sweets person, but was craving for a good French toast for brunch that morning. My partner ordered a fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. Mom ordered a hash. They were all very large portions, and it is very well worth it. The French toast was stuffed and filled with many blueberries (love it)! The service was relatively quick, and it is minutes away from the beach side. read more

Really good breakfast spot.wife had the breakfast tacos with bacon and tater tots....really good. I had pancakes with bacon and eggs. It was good. 4 stars for the way you have to order the food. I very much dislike paying for my food and being ask to tip prior to the service. It would be 5 stars if it wasn't for that. A tip is something you earn and should it be expected. read more

Cafe Wild did not meet our expectations today. Although we were greeted warmly...the food was FLAVORLESS and the staff used UNSANITARY practices when tidying up the dining areas. #1: Used a dishcloth to wipe spilled water on the floor. Here's the kicker-draped the filthy rag over a tub of dirty dishes. #2: Dirty dishcloths everywhere behind counter and grabbed at will for use. #3: Handed customer a dishcloth to wipe down his phone case, then used that cloth to wipe down dining tables. #4: No distinction as to dirty and clean for the dishcloths. #5: Although the staff completes the finishing touches on plates and prepares coffees...there isn't a place for them to wash there hands. We won't dine here again. read more

3 stars for food . 1 star for the service, mainly for the cashier who took our order this morning . He was so inpatient even though we were ready to order immediately, extremely rude and impolite, arrogantly answering one question we had. Potatoes served with omelette were too salty and cold. California omelette was good. Our second meal, two eggs with bread, was completely cold . Loud inside due to echo , reflecting all noise inside. Coffee average, the same rude cashier cashier just threw it on the counter, refuse to answer where sugar and creamer were , he just pointed with his finger in one direction. Overall unpleasant experience and we won't be back . read more

Quaint little spot in Manhattan beach. I liked that lunch items were available in the morning! Chose the Ahi Poke bowl as I was craving fish and was recommended by the server. Very generous portion (too much for me) with so many competing flavors from the marinated ahi, crispy onion, seaweed salad, rice, edamame, avocado, arugula, jicama, mango salsa, carrot and ginger! I wish 1/2 portions were available in this case. read more

On a staycation in Manhattan Beach we decided to rent bikes and bike to El Porto for breakfast on a Wednesday. Aftwr reading the reviews and seeing the pictures of the breakfast sandwich ordering was a no brainer. The breakfast sandwich was perfect. The sourdough bread was nicely toasted, the egg was perfectly fried, and the rest of the ingredients (tomato, hvarti cheese, garlic sauce) complimented the sandwich nicely. The service was very friendly and we enjoyed our food on the outside benches before heading back to Manhattan Beach. read more

Me and our group of 4 were looking for a place to drop by for brunch before a friend's wedding we were going to later that day. We wanted something that wasn't too heavy but still would have a variety of food and be something novel and tasty (and most importantly, have coffee!) We looked all around the Manhattan Beach area and honed in on Cafe Wild because of the menu, seating, and selection of food. Once we got to Cafe Wild, we were able to order quite quickly and get seated right away. You'll order at the counter first and pick out your items before you get seated. I ordered a cortado for my morning pickup and it was spot-on, the milk to espresso ratio was excellent. The place had a great vibe as well, it felt like a surfer joint mixed with a bit of history - definitely chill and an enjoyable place to have brunch. Once the food arrived, we knew we were in for a treat. The scramble and tacos looked amazing and the tiramisu french toast was gigantic. If I could give 4.25 stars, I would because the service, food, and coffee were all good but I wouldn't say that it stood out far beyond other brunch places that I had visited previously. If you're in the area, I definitely would recommend coming to Cafe Wild and grabbing some coffee and grub! La Playa Scramble - 4/5 avocado, potatoes, eggs, with goat cheese. Healthy, hearty, and it left us feeling great after cleaning out the plate. It wasn't anything extremely special but it was a solid dish. Bacon Breakfast Tacos - 4/5 breakfast tacos have a special place in my heart. Cafe Wild certainly stacked the tacos with potatoes, avocados, and all the other trappings that a breakfast taco should have. It felt similar to the La Playa Scramble except with a few more ingredients and some tortillas to wrap the ingredients up with. Monte Cristo Sandwich - 4.25/5 the combo of bacon, french toast, ham, syrup, and butter were ALL very prevalent in this sandwich. It was seasoned excellently and was even sandwiched with an extra piece of french toast in between. I was looking for a little more crisp throughout the sandwich since it seemed floppier and softer than I expected but it was still very delicious. Tiramisu French Toast - 4.5/5 yeah, this was a dessert bomb. The coffee whipped cream on top was insanely good and the middle of the french toast felt exactly like biting into a slice of tiramisu. If you like tiramisu and french toast, then you absolutely have to get this item. read more

Nice brunch spot within walking distance of Manhattan beach. Parking will be a challenge. The service is quick with first come first seating- you order & pay inside first and then find a table. We enjoyed outside seating. They have a pretty good menu variety. I really enjoyed the veggie hash- it tasted fresh with a great mix of veggies (including sweet potato, bell peppers, and kale) and quinoa. I also ordered an iced chai latte with almond milk which was just alright. Food was served on paper plates. Total for veggie hash + latte = $23. This is a great spot to visit if you plan to walk alongside the beach for a little bit (because parking will be worth it). read more

Honestly from the moment we walked in to the time we left...everything was great! Ive noticed some of the reviews on here (the bad ones) and...I think...sunday brunch...what can you expect??? A great spot is going to have a wait. A place by the beach is going to have a wait. Manhattan beach....you're by the beach...parking isnt good. But hey, Its truly what you make it of it right??? You walk in and scan a menu. Dont want to? They have them laid out. Dont want to touch it? Then just look at it while you order. Seating? Yes...its first come first serve. So if you have zero to do, then by all means...wait. If you're in a hurry, then order to go. Dont want to wait for a table? Then order to go & go sit on the beach and relax. **Also...smiling....smiling REALLY WORKS. Its something that gives you that VIP treatment. ** Food...I ordered pancakes, potatoes, bacon and I couldnt finish everything. So....thats good right?? My hubby got the Point Break sandwhich and he ate everything. The michelada was perfect. Not too heavy...not to the point I couldn't walk to my car. Service....SO FRIENDLY. Yes...you do have to tip beforehand. I mean...you dont have to if you dont want to, but after you eat there you're going to want to. Honestly, if people complain about the service or food, Cafe Wild staff definitely didnt look unapproachable. If something was off, they absolutely look like they would fix it in a heartbeat. So....to end this...Definitely check it out...if you have to walk cause there is no parking...well so be it. Its a beautiful little town, great for people watching, great vibe and delicious food. read more

Oh man. Oh man, oh man, oh man!!! I'm so glad I've found this breakfast place in the LA / Manhattan Beach area. The vibe is super relaxed, food is great and service is superb! Waited on by Kenny this morning...he makes an amazing cortado (which is kinda a regular cappuccino with less milk / foam). I had one of those and a cappuccino. Their coffee is super good! When I first walked in, the music playing overhead was relaxed, beachy...I don't remember the exact tune yet I felt myself start to relax within a few songs. Kenny is super efficient, great at making you feel welcome while handing the entire restaurant AND answering phones. Honestly, I'm impressed! I used to wait tables and I know good service. He had about a dozen different tables / customers ordering breakfast, custom coffees etc and handled it all with ease! I'll be back! read more

Breakfast tacos were delicious! The services was quick, very friendly and the place was clean and welcoming .

Love the place, food and service. And the location is perfect. Come all the time after running or cycling.

I came here for brunch since we were hanging out in Manhattan Beach for a friend's birthday. Parking is hard to find on streets as it's a popular destination for food. We decided to park at one of the parking structures close by, remember to put coins into the meter before leaving the structure. We arrived at the restaurant and was put on the waitlist. It was about a 30 minute wait for a table, but we had quite the large party, so it was okay for us. I ordered the Point Break Breakfast Sandwich and it came with a side of potato wedges. The sandwich was good, but not great. It made for a simple breakfast meal. The potato wedges were nothing spectacular and a bit crunchier than to my liken. Price wise, it was quite an expensive meal, which is probably the norm for the area since it's right by the beach. Overall, not many feelings about Cafe Wild. It was an average brunch place, nothing that would call for me to come back for. I also seldomly visit Manhattan Beach, so the days that I do visit would be better off trying the other food places in the area. read more

Quick recap: - Food: Good - Portion size: Small to Average - Service: Table Service; Nice Staff - Environment: Beach Cafe - $: Medium-High for this kind of place - Perks: Outside tables More details: We had the quinoa salad, the brown rice bowl ($13) and the burgers. Everything was good and very well presented. It was a bit slow, despite being the only customers there. But this also means that the food is not frozen and heated up... which is good. The staff was nice and helpful. Some might consider it a bit pricey for the size of the portions. Overall? Food is good. Portions/sizes are average. Service is good. Environment is nice. And prices are medium to high. read more
