Best breakfast burritos! A little pricey for the OJ but worth it! Wakey wakey! Parking is a bit tough so park on the other side of PCH. read more

I ordered the Wakey Wakey Burrito w/ bacon. It had good flavor but some parts were warm and some were cold. It was odd and very inconsistent as far as temperature. The salsa it came with was good. It's fine without the salsa, but with the salsa, tastes way better imo. I've been wanting to try the breakfast burrito. I was in the area, so I figured I would check it out. Service was great, was greeted right away and the staff are friendly. read more

Tried this place yesterday...it was ok, pretty fresh ingredients right on the beach. The employee gave the person infront of me a free drink for no reason. After I ordered a $20 bowl, I asked to use the outlet for my e scooter while I ate. The worker was grumpy and said yes, but then said no. If he said yes, I would have most likely been a weekly repeat customer. I guess I have to spend at starbucks instead because they allow charging. Such a bummer because I want to support a local business. The employee made it seem like it would be coming out of HIS check is it??? Update - no thanks I dont really want to come back. I dont understand how I was bothering other customers when literally one other person was inside. The environment isnt welcoming and its weird that you would be selective over how people use your "complimentary" charging. read more

Still on the hunt for the best Caesar wrap in OC. This one was okay, the flavor was alright but I didn't really get much of that Caesar taste. It was some watery sauce/dressing that kept dripping out. The chicken and tortilla were actually pretty good. The portion size is decent. The sweet potatoes were okay, I did not realize they came with honey on top so it tasted a bit too sweet for my liking. read more

Stopped at TidePoole's for lunch when we were passing through Newport Beach. Cute little place away from the hustle and bustle around the pier. The service was a little slow but they were busy and we ordered lunch food right as they were transitioning from breakfast. Inhale the signature burger. It was tasty. My one daughter liked the Caesar salad wrap. My other daughter had the pesto chicken bowl and my wife had the pesto chicken sandwich. We enjoyed the food. Check this place out. read more

I know I'm probably in the minority but I didn't think the chorizo breakfast burrito was all that. I was craving a breakfast burrito and I was staying at the Balboa Bay Resort and went to Yelp to help me. This place is located on a corner street so might be hard to miss which I did initially. I got parking on the street a very short block away. Now to the burrito. As others have said, the hash browns are VERY crispy. My issue wasn't that however. It was more that the burrito wasn't very flavorful and I've had my share of breakfast burritos especially living in LA. The place is small but cute however. read more

We were in the market for splitting a breakfast burrito and glad we stopped here! We got the protein burrito with turkey and the peppers and mushrooms. So delicious. Packed with flavor and fresh ingredients. It was almost $20 but to be fair it was plenty big to split and fill us up and it was delicious. Service was friendly, cute shop location. Highly recommend. read more

Tried TidePools this morning after seeing all the hype...The burrito was genuinely yummy, but the vibe was off. Staff felt standoffish, and service was slow. there were only two other people in the place, yet we had to ask about our coffee after we'd already finished eating. When it finally came out, the ice had melted and it tasted off, so we tossed it after one sip and headed down the street to Vacancy coffee. Wanted to love this place, but it was a one-and-done for me. Food's good, but the overall experience needs work. read more

I might be biased considering I order the same thing every time, but it's that good I always get the wakey wakey burrito with chorizo and I never ever pick chorizo for the meat but this place makes one of the best chorizo breakfast burritos. My husband and I love to drive down PCH and grab a coffee at vacancy (walking distance) then pick up burritos at Tidepoole's. We saw an influencer do this once and now we have done this a couple weekends and it's so much fun. The cashiers are always so friendly and it's a cute little shop to eat and hangout. We have dined inside and out in their little patio area and it's a sweet time. I have recommended this place to my friends and family- they are eager to try! read more

Ted was great!!! The avocado burgers are insanely good!!! Just found our new regular spot The fries were perfect! We will definitely tell our friends and family about this little Newport gem!!! Thanks guys for using quality meat, cooked to perfection read more

I've been coming here off and on for about two years, and while I want to like this place, they just seem to be doing so much wrong. It feels like there isn't much care put into the business. The Service & Soda Situation: One of the most frustrating things is their soda machine. It was down for an entire year, which is ridiculous. Instead of fixing it--which takes an hour for a technician--they force you to buy expensive bottled sodas from the cooler that don't come with refills. It feels like a cheap way to squeeze more money out of customers. The Food: * Breakfast Burrito: I had it once and it was actually really good, but every time after that, the quality was poor. It was so inconsistent that I just stopped ordering it entirely. * Pizza: The pizza is decent. It's a little on the greasy side, but hey, it's pizza. Final Thoughts: This place has the potential to be really good, but the lack of maintenance and inconsistent food quality makes it hard to recommend. It just doesn't seem like the owners are invested in the customer experience. EDIT: The owner recently responded to this review, stating the business is now under new ownership. With that being the case the pizza and soda machine remarks may not be accurate any longer, stating they have improved operation. However, the breakfast burrito visit was a few weeks ago which would fall under their current ownership. It was cold, and was mostly hashbrowns, with little egg or cheese. Flavor was okay, but overall I would rate the burrito about 2/5 stars. read more

Had really good pizza Then all of a sudden they stopped having pizza and burgers and fries instead why not both get burgers and fries anywhere their pizza was really good read more

I totally understand new ownership, but changing an already established menu bums me out. Walked in this afternoon for lunch craving certain items and immediately walked out when none of those items were offered anymore. At this point change the name it's a completely different restaurant. Sincerely, Disappointed pregnant local read more

Food just is not good. At least the chicken wrap was very poor, chicken was dry and the wrap lacked flavor. On top of that the service took 45 min. Very dissatisfied, just go somewhere else. read more

This place is the bomb. I usually do not go for Tuna Melts, but I was craving one, and this place knocked it out of the park. Had solid flavor and great bread with a nice crunch to it. Well done! I told them to surprise me as well with the tuna sandwich, I was thoroughly surprised and blessed, man. Service was top-notch and very welcoming as soon as my wife and I walked in! Great location and a small little shop to easily hang out and chill out with some friends after getting some coffee from Vacany. Parking is a bit of a struggle, but still a solid option for a lunch break and chill! read more

Was in the area and decided to pop in for a bit of breakfast. The place is good. I had the avocado toast, which was more guacamole toast, which is perfectly fine. It was a nice open faced sandwich and the scrambled eggs were tasty. Coffee was fine, but when they say black, they mean black. No sugar or creamer were out, though you can request it. read more

I have driven by this place so many times and have said that I need to try it out. Today was finally the day and it did not disappoint! Got the Cedar Club, Caesar Salad, and Fries. Everything was sooooo good. The fries taste like in n out except thicker and wayyyy better. The Caesar salad was perfection and didn't have a fishy taste which I'm normally worried about with Caesar's. The chicken in the salad was also so good and a must add on! The star of the show was the cedar sandwich. I'll be craving this everyday for lunch. Absolutely delicious and I loved the toasted bread. Overall we loved our meal!! Highly recommend. The person helping me order was super nice and seemed really happy. The place is super cute too has a surfer vibe to it. Love this spot! read more

Decided to try Tidepoole's for the first time and unfortunately it was a disappointment. I was in the mood for a good breakfast burrito and saw lots of pics of the Wakey Wakey so I decided to order that with sausage. Unfortunately the guacamole was non existent, boo. So that was a little disappointing as I paid $15 for a breakfast burrito with no guac.. the rest of the burrito was just ok. read more

Ugh sad to say they've changed ownership!! No PIZZA!! really why go!! So disappointed. Menu is lackluster if you don't eat sandwiches and chicken wings again mediocre.. the beer on tap is a reason only cuz volleyball and surf is across the street .. what a disappointment!! I will not be going back!!!-Anyone know of a good pizza place within walking distance of orange street in newps!! Service slow for not being busy lots of coffee options your into that but again NO PIZZA !! Sucks!!! A 2 star cuz my dog can hang out with us.. I guess it's beers only!! read more

I drove 20 minutes out of my way for this place since the ratings were so high but was left with serious regrets. This shack makes sandwiches that you can make at home with store bought meats and breads. My turkey sandwich was $20 and they tried to charge me $5 for a fountain soda. Avoid this place. Go to any other sandwich place and you'll be happier. Subway is better than this read more

Arrived here just before lunch so after a good coffee down the street at Vacancy we knew we needed to get sone lunch to bring to beach. I have forgotten the menu names but I got the pastrami sandwich..really good, plenty of quality pastrami. The source out was closer to a coleslaw but very good. Wife got the wings and they were delicious. Looks like it run by a couple who appear to be locals. They take a clear pride in their food read more

Super chill place! Ambiance was very Beachy and you can tell this is a place for the locals for sure. Love to support small owned businesses - sandwiches and fries were fresh made and they had beer on draft! Everything was clean and location was right on PCH. Mama's: They Don't have a changing table, but there is a furniture piece that you could totally use if you were desperate. Service was super fast and friendly as well! We will definitely be back- tons of options on the menu, I even spied amazing breakfast burritos on the menu! read more

It's about time. After driving by this Newport Beach gem dozens (if not hundreds) of times I finally had the opportunity to stop by for lunch. Tidepoole is well known to both the locals and tourists of Newport Beach. Their storefront is front and center on PCH, so it's truly hard to miss. I stopped by today after attending a nearby yoga class and grabbed a bite to-go. Their menu was straight forward, with options like sandwiches, pizzas, light sides, etc. I ordered the Charlie Sammy: sourdough, pesto, artichoke, provolone, tomatoes, and arugula. I also paid extra to add chicken as protein. The meal was delicious and served with a sliced pickle. The restaurant was close to empty, but I bet it stays jam packed during the summer months. Despite the slow season, parking is still tough. You'll find street parking available in the nearby residential neighborhoods. Luckily it's a nice walk, so don't let this small hiccup keep you from visiting! read more

Great service, Lina was helpful and went above and beyond. Food was great as well, definitely will come back.

They advertise the Wakey wakey burrito on the building but it's only served until 12. Got the pesto sandwich for about $20 with chicken not worth it. read more

If you're on vacation near the beach and wake up hungry, do yourself a favor and head over to TidePoole's. This little spot sits right across from the ocean and operates on the kind of hours that make sense for vacationers, open at 8 a.m. and closing at 3 p.m. Perfect timing for a slow morning and a serious breakfast. While scanning the menu, one item kept jumping out at me: the Wakey Wakey Breakfast Burrito. It clearly had a reputation. The only hesitation? The price. At $17 for a single burrito, expectations get pretty high. At that price point, the burrito can't just be good, it has to show up and perform like an Allstar. Luckily, this burrito absolutely delivered! I ordered for a family of six, which turned out to be a strategic move because it allowed me to sample a few different versions. First up was the bacon breakfast burrito, which was fantastic: flavorful, hearty, and easily a solid four star burrito on its own. Then I tried the sausage version... and BAM! Somehow it was even better. At that point, I thought I had already reached the peak of breakfast burrito greatness. Five star territory achieved. Case closed. Or so I thought. Then came the chorizo breakfast burrito and let me tell you. This thing was on another level entirely. If the bacon was great and the sausage was excellent, the chorizo was a slice of breakfast heaven wrapped in a tortilla. It completely stole the show. And that's not a knock on the others, they were legitimately great but the chorizo version was just that much better. Another bonus: these burritos are huge. Realistically, one burrito could easily feed two people unless you're particularly ambitious or exceptionally hungry after a sunrise beach walk. The salsa served with the burritos was also excellent and paired perfectly with everything. If you're feeling adventurous, you can ask for additional sauces as well to customize the experience. So yes, $17 for a burrito might initially make you pause, but in this case the gamble paid off especially if you go with the chorizo. Between the portion size, the flavor, and the beachside setting, it ends up feeling like money well spent. Bottom line: If you find yourself near the beach in the morning and want a breakfast that lives up to the hype, TidePoole's Wakey Wakey Breakfast Burrito is absolutely worth the stop. Just one warning: You may walk in thinking you'll share a burrito... and walk out wishing you had ordered another. read more

been going here for years but new ownership I feel has made quality go down and price go up :( Ordered the thick cut fries that I've always gotten that are still listed on the menu and when I got home (ordered take out) they soggy gross and were breaded and SO THIN. I called them to ask if they are gluten free because someone I was sharing them with is celiac. Also so confused why thick was listed if they changed them. They said that the packaging didn't say so that means they are probably bulk and frozen. So sad miss the old owner :( read more
