    breakfast pesto sandwich and tomato soup
    Karina G.

    I've been here twice and both times were fantastic! The service is great with everyone being so friendly and attentive. The flavor of each dish I've tried always hits the spot too. The tomato soup here is one of my favorites!

    I really wish I could leave a better review but this is based purely off of my iced Oatmilk latte which shouldn't look and taste like brown water. I took 2 sips and just left it on the table and went to a different coffee shop. The vibes and staff were great but gonna have to pass on this place.

    Corned beef with fancy peppers
    Jaydee D.

    Breakfast 6.13.26 Ordered: pay to counter then ticket number, then find a seat. Got me the corned beef hash, and that was a lot of food, they use really thoughtful healthy ingredients and bf altered his to tater tots, if you're use to canned cornbeef, sodium rich foods then you stepped in the wrong resto. If you are health concious then yes this is a place who cares about employing individuals with disabilities, tho i would call it folks with service the community as one. Service is not bad, but not a place that requires button up and fancy dresses. Better be comfy in a beach attire with sandals is ok. Ambiance is colorful, open, bright with decent things of shoppi g merch hats, sweatshirts, and tees. Bathrooms is a NICE touch, im picky and it's clean!! Thank you !

    The cashier did a great job taking my order. He had a great speaking voice. The cafe is super cute inside with decor and a nice outdoor area as well. I ordered food to go. It was very fresh tasting. I bought a "no labels" tote bag from their store.

    Mychal's Cafe is a gem! Bright, airy, and a great spot for doing a little work, meeting with friends, or treating yourself to some yummy food! The service is friendly, prompt, and caring, as Mychal's staff includes developmentally disabled folks learning new skills, and making some of the most consistently good food in the area. The waffle was perfectly savory/sweet, and served with butter and syrup. However, the breakfast sandwich was the star! Melty mozzarella, pesto, sundried tomatoes on perfectly grilled sourdough, served with a cup of wonderfully acidic tomato soup with a nice drizzle of balsamic. I also see they're applying to serve alcohol, so I see some mimosas in my future! Please make this part of your rotation, if not for the great work they do with the community, but because it's really a great spot to eat!

    Breakfast burrito

    If I could give Mychal's 6-stars, I would. I love everything this cafe stands for -- empowering people with disabilities and giving them skills in life. We came here on a whim on a Saturday and it was such a great experience. We brought our rambunctious toddler and he was greeted warmly by the staff. The restaurant itself is really large and clean. It was a very family friendly cafe with lots of seating. After reading the few negative reviews, it's clear the people didn't really understand the mission and purpose of the cafe. Yes, you need to be a little more understanding with some of the staff, but if you treat them with kindness and compassion, they return it many times over. The breakfast burrito was large and very filling. The breakfast sandwich was made really well. And the blueberry pancakes were absolutely delicious. And the service was top-notch. We'll be adding Mychal's to our normal rotation and continue to support this incredible cafe. There's a big parking lot in the back of the cafe so parking is super easy. There's a back patio area that's really nice on a beautiful day.

    Formerly another healthy food spot, so i was surprised to find out Mychal's is located here. I heard about Mychal's through a friend who frequents this place for breakfast and i love that it's for a good cause. After ordering our breakfast, I checked out the merch in the gift shop adjacent to the restaurant. Such cheerful and pretty canvas bags, tees and hoodies! This place is cute, my food was great and the staff delightful. Parking in the rear.

    Breakfast burrito
    Dee T.

    We went here based on Yelp reviews and it was as if there was divine intervention. . This place reminded us of our special needs daughter as it is a training place for kids with special needs . .The story behind this place is heartwarming! The food was so delicious and obviously made with love. More places need to follow this model!

    Breakfast burrito with avocado
    Cindy D.

    This restaurant has good food and an even better mission of employing students with developmental disabilities to give them an opportunity to learn and develop the skills needed to help them feel empowered and included. We tried the breakfast burrito with avocado and their green smoothie, both of which were satisfying, freshly made and tasty. The tortilla was expertly toasted and inside, the eggs fluffy and well-seasoned. Be sure to try the house made salsa for an extra layer of spice and flavor. Service is efficient, friendly and very attentive. In accordance with their motto, everything is truly "made with love." Please support this wonderful small business.

    Tomato basil (bowl) + butternut squash feta salad
    Pam Y.

    Food was great! I had the Tomato Basil which was really chunky & SO DELISH & the butternut squash salad which was also really great. Parking is in the back off Vanderbilt. Super friendly vibe... they also have t-shirts/caps/baked goods for sale! My aunt took home a whole box of cookies & her daughter bought a cap. We were really tempted :). Highly recommend.

    Breakfast Burrito with Sausage
    Carolyn A.

    Mychal's Cafe is amazing. Although it has been on the neighborhood for years, I never ventured in until today. I was looking for brunch places with gluten-free options for a visiting friend and Mychal's came up. The food is delicious, ambiance is light and uplifting, and the staff is very friendly. I had the breakfast burrito with sausage (excellent flavor and the pop of green onions really lifted up the heaviness of the rest of the burrito). I particularly loved the salsa that has bright fresh flavors and a very mild heat on the back end. My friend had Mykie's Scramble with bacon, gluten-free bread, and a side of tomato bisque. Her favorites were the jam for the bread, the potatoes in the scramble, and the bisque itself (very herb-y). I also had a French Toast Latte with Oat Milk that was on the sweet side, but expectedly so given that it is called a French Toast Latte. The staff was very attentive and made sure that the order was correct, engaged us in casual conversation, and were able to answer all of our questions.

    Breakfast sandwich, cappuccino, berry smoothie
    KD R.

    First, the service - excellent. Everyone is so welcoming and attentive. The food is fantastic, as well as the latte and cappuccino. I really like their berry smoothie too - a real smoothie without a bunch of added sugar. The restaurant is super clean with a relaxing vibe.

    Açaí bowl
    Audra N.

    Had breakfast here today. It's a good place for a casual brunch. You order at the counter and they deliver to your table. They have a food variety of breakfast foods and a good assortment of pastries/baked items. We got two muffins and they were delicious. I had the carrot one and tastes just like carrot cake. My daughter had the açaí bowl. The portions are large and my American breakfast came fresh and hot! I didn't love the coffee but would go back for everything else and it supports a great cause.

    We decided to visit Riviera village after a relaxing morning stroll through Torrance Beach. Since…read moreit was almost noon, we searched on Yelp and decided to have some crepes for lunch. The restaurant has inside seating for 40 guests and outside for 30. We arrived between breakfast and lunchtime and were able to get the last outside table. The attentive staff got us seated right away, and after browsing through their menu, we ordered the following items (arrived in 15 minutes) : Marine: The buckwheat outer layer was soft, not soggy, and with nice resistance. The light creamy tomato-based dressing with sliced mushrooms was pleasantly flavorful. Both shrimp and scallops were of good size, fresh and juicy. Fromage: Like Marine Crepe, the buckwheat out layer was soft. The mild brie cheese provided pleasant creaminess to the filling. Seasoned bacon, scrambled egg, onion, and mushroom added nice savoriness to the dish. The portions were sensible and the prices were reasonable. Very nice culinary experience.

Also I'm sorry about that one but he had a foul smell like he just finished working out... the table next to us was saying the same thing.

After two nice spritz's I attempted to use the restroom only to be stopped by a server. She asked what I was trying to do and when I said simply use the restroom, she replied, "no it's for customers only." It was odd because we just spent nearly $70 there right next to where she was working, dressed like all the other beach goers that day. She said "oh" and let me go with no kindness or apology. No clue how I was identified, and it felt very profiled. But just left me feeling weird and not like I want to go back there or recommend it to anyone. In summary: Drinks and food was fine. One staff member was great. The vibe that server gave me ruined my day.

They have seating on the patio and inside with both tables and booths or at the bar. The decor is fun with bright vibrant colors and picturesque walls. Food was decent, though basic and (see picture of Truffle Fries, they should have spent a few more seconds in the fryer to get at least a little golden and have some crispiness rather than blanched and lackluster). The Machaca Scramble was the most flavorful and best tasting dish we had at our table as the corned beef hash and eggs were standard (not bad but nothing to Yelp rave about). By far the best part was the Bottomless Mimosas which are offered everyday, not just on the weekends! Big bonus! Our server was attentive and had a happy disposition. I felt Serendipity has so much great potential, between the decor, service and bottomless mimosas I'd imagine they would have more birthdays or group celebrations going on, especially for such a large space. But the vibe was a bit off with the low playing Spanish music, I would imagine if they had more pop music or upbeat music to fit the vibe of the place they'd have more of a fun vibe. Not that there is anything wrong with Spanish music, it just wasn't jiving with the vibe of the place and was so low and not so up beat (romantic Spanish ballads were playing). The laminated menus also gave an old diner vibe instead of trendy "serendipity" vibe. I'll still come back to see if they can match the vibe to the decor and try a few other menu items, but I do hope they up the ambiance. And get that extra star status!
