    Sunrise Bagel
    Taylor H.

    We live in the area and decided to walk over to Ocean Cafe this morning. We were so pleasantly surprised! The beach vibe and music makes for a laid back, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Our bagel sandwiches were yummy and they have tons of protein shakes and even bullet proof coffee! I am always looking for places that do macadamia nut lattes and theirs did not disappoint! The staff member who took our order had a bit of a hard time understanding us, but that was the only slight hiccup we had at the cafe.

    Açaí Smoothie w/ Peanut Butter
    C W.

    Easy in and out location and can get them on doordash too. Lilly and Liv are the best, great food, great atmosphere and best peanut butter acai smoothies.

    Immune system
    Wendy M.

    I ordered the Immune System and it came out brown. Normally beet juices come out more red. They said it was because of their recipe but it just tasted like blended ice with a splash of beets, spinach and a little bit of ginger. I would not recommend.

    Halloween drink

    My favorite Vietnamese iced coffee spot. The Brazilian cheese bread is amazing here and gluten free.

    Ordered a bagel breakfast sandwich online and it took 30 minutes to make -- for what turned out to be the driest bagel I've ever had. The bacon was soggy, and the whole thing was just disappointing. I don't understand the hype. Definitely not worth the wait.

    Original acai bowl with peanut butter
    Lindsey R.

    Visiting from Vegas, walked here from my Airbnb with my cute Labrador. Got the original Acai bowl + added peanut butter to go. Was very delicious with incredibly fresh ingredients. Highly recommend!

    Tuna Sandwich
    Mariya S.

    Perfect little breakfast cafe that we were lucky to have close to where we stayed! I was surprisingly impressed with the prices, the food was delicious, I got Tuna salad on croissant, I loved the coffee and overall it was a nice experience. I prefer small cafes over popular by the beach places and this one was a hit for me personally. Recommend

    Acai Bowl @ Ocean Cafe
    Brian C.

    Acai bowl is top-tier! The staff was super friendly and the bowl was made to order. Their bowls have won a ton of awards (I can see why) and they have pre-made options in addition to "build your own" customizable ordering. I came in early on a Tuesday, so the cafe was pretty quiet and not crowded at all. I needed a place to work for a bit while waiting for my car to finish at the shop, and when I arrived I was a bit worried that Ocean Cafe wasn't the type of place that welcomes remote workers to hang around too long with their laptops. But, I found out later that they do offer free wi-fi for paying guests, you just need to ask for the password at the counter. The seating area is nice but kind of small, I probably wouldn't stay more than an hour or two, but it's definitely nice for a quick meal!

    Out front.
    William W.

    I see you! Not bragging about yourself and having a down low presence of location and signage out front. But the word is out! And I found about you so you know imma blab about you. I'm staying in PB and feeling cafe, sweet and tasty needs must be taken care of. The suggestion is thrown down, the Yelp research is done and off we go. Before and after I go there, multiple people say "I've never been there, but I order from the place all the time" That's because it's where the good stuff comes from. Parking is ample and it's a cozy spot if you just want to hang. They have breaky and lunch covered with savory and sweet. That Nutella croissant is a party in your mouth for sure. The vibe is super chill as well. Order delivery all you want. I'll still be going out on lookout securing the culinary perimeter.

    Churro protein shake and strawberry banana protein shake
    Nina G.

    Best protein shake I've ever had I'm so serious. Both were so good but especially the churro. Will be coming back here regularly for sure.

Right away, he greeted us warmly, handed my daughter a banana, and kindly asked for about 20 minutes to get set up. He was ready in less than that. Good thing we were early, because by 7:30 a line was already forming! I ordered two iced biscoff lattes with whole milk, a side of milk, and five beignets with chocolate hazelnut filling. When I noticed he had used oat milk instead of whole, he immediately offered to remake both drinks. I told him not to worry about it -- honestly, the lattes were SO good it didn't even matter! But what happened next truly blew me away: he told me my entire order was on him for the mix-up. I insisted on paying but he wouldn't hear of it, and on top of that, he wanted to give my daughter a muffin too. I was speechless. That kind of genuine, above-and-beyond hospitality is so rare. The biscoff latte is an absolute must (even with oat milk), it was incredible. And the beignets with chocolate hazelnut filling? Do not skip them. The setup itself is charming! A cute picnic table alongside the mobile shop, fresh flowers nearby at the gas station, and just an all-around wonderful vibe. This man runs his business with so much heart. We will absolutely be back. Highly, highly recommend!

The atmosphere here is casual and relaxed which is perfect for those needing a chill place to study or kick back. Service was quick and efficient. The staff members also were friendly and positive in mood. I ordered their batch brew coffee which was illustrated as using Guatemala beans that provided "chocolate, nutty, caramel, and citrusy" notes. I didn't quite taste the first three aforementioned notes, but the citrusy, sour note was there along with bitter notes. I've been here before and I much prefer their lattes such as the Troubleshooter and Debugger. Those are exceptionally enjoyable drinks to me. I would rate the batch brew a 3/5 but I'd rate the two aforementioned lattes around a 4.5/5. Overall, it's best to enjoy the specialty drinks here and inundate yourself with sweet caffeine to focus on studying for your upcoming test or completing your project that's about to be due.
