    Wakey wakey burrito

    Used to love this place when it was Big Belly Deli and have had a few good meals here under TidePoole's. Not sure if they changed ownership again, but place has fallen off. Spent over $45 for a wakey wakey burrito, side of hash browns, cold brew and soda water. The hash browns were hard as a rock and looked like they were out of a grocery store freezer bag, I gave them back. The lady at the front was nice, so that's one plus. The burrito was full of hash browns, not much eggs or sausage. Kinda hard to mess up a breakfast burrito, but here we are. I want to support small businesses, but this is highway robbery. I have to go find more food now, this was borderline not edible. Bring back the quality and the thick cut fries. $45 for breakfast and I should be eating good.

    CALIFORNIA CAESAR WRAP and SWEET POTATO FRIES
    Mehul M.

    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.

    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.

    SUNRISE PROTEIN BURRITO
    Brooke K.

    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.

    Wake up WAKEY WAKEY BURRITO and SUNRISE BURRITO

    I've been on the hunt for the best breakfast burrito of Orange County for a while now since my ex fav spot significantly went down in quality, and Tide Poole's is my current favorite. Plenty of indoor seating, always good music, close to a coffee shop if you want coffee (it's mid tho sorry), and the burritos are DELICIOUS! Great taste, fresh ingredients, minimal grease. Strongly recommend the wakey wakey breakfast burrito. Food comes out fast and the staff are so nice. Will be back :)

    Stopped by TidePoole's in Newport Beach for lunch and the California Caesar Wrap was outstanding.

    TURKEY CLUB SANDWICH
    James K.

    Great Saturday bike ride, stopped in for a club, drinks, watching the masters. Ted and Joe were awesome

    The glorious Tuna Melt - absolute fire and highly recommend for those tuna lovers! Definitely get extra pickles!

    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!

    Hi! Can you tell me what your vegan options are that would equate to a meal?

    Is the restaurant family friendly?

    Very much so!!

    What are the gluten free options besides salads? Any gluten free bread options?

    Hey Jill! Great question! Other than our salads, our chicken wings and brussell sprouts, and we also offer a gluten free cauliflower crust for any of our pizzas!

    What's the parking situation there?

    It's all street or residential parking. They do have 2 parking spots to the side of the building though, but they're used by the employees. If you call first, they will let you know if you can double park behind those cars just while you're picking… 

    Are breakfast burritos served all day?

    No, but they still serve them into the afternoon. You can call to ask if they are still doing breakfast.

    Are there any gluten-free options?

    Yes!

    Any vegan options on the menu?

    Yes!!!

The amazonion boat is perfect if you want to sample all the regular/ ube / spirulina acai! My favorite of the three was the regular acai, it wasn't too icey and very rich and smooth. The spirulina has a stronger pineapple flavor, while the ube was light and creamy. I dined in around 3-4 pm and it was chill around this time, and most people ordered takeout so it was quiet inside For the ube cream latte, it was good (to me) with the oat milk. However if you prefer a sweet latte I would not get this, as there isn't added sweeter. I will have to say the ube cream doesn't have much flavor - but it made the coffee creamier which I like! Definitely recommend this place for the acai and will be coming back :)

Yes, the traditional acai is great, but the Paradise base is on another level -- a blue spirulina blend with the most refreshing tropical flavor I've ever had in a bowl. I always come back to it topped with honey almond granola, goji berries, cacao nibs, and banana chips. Every bite is the perfect balance of flavors and textures. I love making a little ritual out of it -- biking over, soaking up some sun, and enjoying my bowl. It's honestly one of my favorite ways to spend a morning or afternoon. Service is always friendly, though it can get a little slow when online orders pick up. A small price to pay for something this fresh and unique. Highly recommend!
