I love this cute snack bar type vibe on the beach. West Toast Cafe was once the snack bar at T-Street beach and now it is a bit more elevated. They sell organic juices, smoothies, açaí bowls, breakfast and lunch! The food and drinks are surprisingly really good and it's the perfect way to hang at the beach! read more

freshly made and very delicious. 2 kids size açaí bowls and 2 vegetarian arepas came to $54. nice to have this cafe on the beach. approximately 54 steps (i'm a counter). no pics because i was getting food for my friend and i while she was having an endoscopy and everything timed perfectly. the staff is so very friendly and cheerful! definitely have a meal here when you're in SC at T street! read more

Great beachside spot! Michelle had the iced matcha coffee and it was excellent, and the latte was awesome too. Audrey ordered the kids açai bowl, and I got the kids grilled cheese with chips -- everything was fresh, tasty, and decently priced. Definitely a go-to spot if you're down at the beach. Great food, great drinks, and a solid vibe. read more

Love this restaurant on the beach! Great food, iced coffee and other types drinks. They even give your dog a free biscuit if you ask or if they see you have a pup. It's my go-to on T-street. read more

Upscale food in a down to earth environment! I love that, they could serve nasty nachos and greasy burgers and people would come. But they're serving foody type food. Everything we've tried is great. Breakfast burritos, tequenos, bagels with salmon/cream cheese, espresso. Staff is friendly also. Plus, kudos on being environmentally conscious. Sorry no pics. We gobbled it up too fast read more

Food was great, fresh and delicious Their menu consist of salads, sandwiches and coffee/tea and smoothies Price is pretty good considering its location Limited seating area with a young lady singing live right beside the food pick up area Staff were nice too, food takes a little while to come out hence they were pretty busy read more

Awesome little cafe right on the beach. Such a nice location right on the sand with covered seating and very walkable right next to the ocean. I had a vanilla latte which was superb!! The breakfast burrito was delicious! Also they have a really good waffle and Nutella toast. read more

I'm going to be so honest, my friend and I went for matcha and this was the closest cafe near us, we both ordered an iced matcha latte with honey. this takes number one in the worst matcha latte that's ever sat on my tongue, my taste buds might have disintegrated, it's been 9 hours and I can still feel it on my tongue. It had a grainy texture that I didn't love and I couldn't taste the honey which was extra. Straight up milk. Sadly I didn't get a good picture of my drink before I threw it read more

This is going to be my new go to spot by the beach. Really loved that there was actual seating in case you wanted to stop by for a quick bite by the beach. I got the acai bowl and requested extra berries over the banana and they were able to accommodate. Everyone's super friendly and just a 10/10 vibe. read more

This has happened twice where there business hours say until 3:00pm and they end up closing earlier. Their instagram says 3:00pm and even on yelp. If you are going to have different hours, then actually change it. This is the second time. It's extremely unprofessional. read more

I was going to walk past West Toast Cafe because I figured they would have the usual hamburgers, hot dogs and fries. I'm glad my husband suggested checking out the menu. I was surprised to find that in addition to burgers, they had breakfast bagels and breakfast burritos, avocado toast, açaí bowls and Venezuelan arepas - a stuffed cornmeal patty. They use organic, locally-sourced ingredients and are plastic-free, using 100% biodegradable products. The breakfast burrito ($14.99) had organic eggs, bacon, hash browns and cheese and came with a side of salsa and guasacaca sauce (avocado, cilantro and bell pepper). It's on the smaller side and not one of those gut busting breakfast burritos. I tried The Queen arepa ($14), which was stuffed with a mixture of chicken, avocado, onions and cheese. They also have one with tuna and a vegetarian one with black beans. The ingredients were all fresh and it was a refreshing change from the normal beach food. Food is probably closer to four stars, but I'm giving West Toast five stars since food of this quality is totally unexpected for the location. They have several tables where you can sit and enjoy the lovely view. read more

I have to assume that this is a locals secret BECAUSE WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME. West Toast Cafe is my newest obsession. This coffee shop has the best beach cafe vibes in Southern California and sits directly on the sand. They specialize in caffeinated goods, smoothies, acai bowls and Venezuelan food. Since we hung out for a bit, I had a chance to sample a large majority of their menu, including: the green juice, acai bowl, the Queen Arepa, and the vanilla latte. No menu items were found lacking! Personally, I adored the acai bowl. This was made with all the freshest ingredients and their coconut/agave pairing was to-die-for. The seating is absolute perfection. There's a number of picnic tables under a shaded awning covered with pink bougainvillea. A cuter venue does no exist. Parking can be difficult depending on the day/time period. There's a number of metered spots available if you're lucky enough to snag one. Heads up though, this spot is not handicap accessible. read more

This is a MUST try when visiting San Clemente. The food is delicious and the vibes are perfect literally on the sand on the beach trail, just south of the San Clemente Pier. The staff is always friendly and helpful with food options. My personal favorite is the avocado toast with tomatoes, pickled onions and herbs (I add a fried egg for extra protein). Their coffee choices are also great. Recommend! read more

I'm so happy to have found this place, because this shack/cafe beyond met expectations! In an effort to prevent being long-winded, I've made bullet points about what I appreciated about this place: - Right on the sand - Semi-shaded bench seating available - Located by the pier, a cute & walkable street, and the Amtrak train tracks - By a scenic walking trail - Delicious food! Their breakfast variety had both the classics as well as some Venezuelan options. The Queen Arepa was super fresh and filling. The Breakfast Burrito was the perfect size and honestly one of the best I've tasted. - Tasty drinks in cute cups! The Yerba Matte Latte options were unique and yummy - Eco-friendly plates/utensils/straws, esp since you're right by the water Will recommend to everyone! read more

Breakfast with a view, heck yeah! We had a party of 12 adults plus 4 small kids. Patience is key here if you visit WTC on a weekend. Order your food and enjoy the view while you wait for space to sit. There are 5 large tables. We had various items and each one was fresh and tasty. This was our first time visiting WTC, next time we'll bring chairs and eat on the beach and watch the surfers while enjoying our breakfast. read more

This cute little cafe on the beach is exactly what you need for your beach day or even just a walk on the beach like I took. They have a few tables to eat at or a standing kind of bar that folds up and down. They have quite the selection on the menu but it was after my walk in the morning so I went with a bagel sandwich. It was almost $17 total for just the sandwich. It was good bacon, egg, cheese and avocado on an everything bagel, but you are paying for the great views! I will definitely try this place again maybe even on of their coffees-they looked delicious too! read more

Mixed feelings: Yummy food and great location! However, they do have small portions for how expensive it is. We each got a mini burrito and coffee. The burrito is on a tiny plate. We ordered the regular sized coffee drinks but they both looked like the extra small kids size cups from Starbucks. Wish I took a photo! I get it, food prices are crazy right now! But I got 2 breakfast burritos and 2 coffee drinks, it came out to $50. The burritos were $18 each and a whopping $7 for a teeny tiny mini iced mocha (which wasn't the greatest). Steep prices for a walk-up beach hut in my opinion. Staff members are 50/50. The cashier was very friendly but the barista was pretty rude. I asked for a water cup and she refused to give me one because the ice machine was broken? I even asked for hot water but she said no and bluntly told me I had to buy a water bottle. The strange thing was, I ordered an ice coffee which came out a few minutes later and she tried very hard to ignore my gaze while I grabbed it. Kinda bummed they wouldn't accommodate a free water cup, after paying $50 and giving the staff a generous tip. The burritos (and whatever the green sauce is) was really tasty at least, which made up for it a little. Aside from that, it's a beautiful location! Dog friendly patio with incredible views, right on the beach. read more

Super convenient since it's right by the beach. Tried the El Mariachi burger and club sandwich. Both were good and satisfying, though I found the burger to be a bit too greasy for my taste. Still, a solid spot for a quick breakfast, lunch, or beachside bite. read more

Hoped to find a place with ocean views and stumbled upon this sleepy beachfront coffee/lunch place. My coconut milk matcha latte, husband's iced coffee and tuna met and matched the gorgeous view. Happy surprise! Folks at the walk up window were friendly and efficient. Check their hours...they close early. We will return as it was excellent. read more

Excellent coffee and lox bagel on the beach at T Street in San Clemente! We didn't love the breakfast burrito, though... not enough fresh ingredients to offer various flavors, textures, and temperatures. But we did enjoy the other items and the bougainvillea and beach tunes playing ... it was a gorgeous beach vibe! read more

The place is so cute! I had the breakfast burrito which was so freaking good and I saw what others ordered which looked great as well. It gets busy but the wait isn't long and friendly atmosphere on top of that. I don't live anywhere near this place but I'd stop by again! read more

Love love love! If you are looking for breakfast right on the beach, you found the right spot. We went on Christmas Eve and everyone was so friendly. The service was quick and the food was amazing. They have burritos, açaí bowls, waffles, all the breakfast essentials. They also have a full coffee bar. Seating is all outside so make sure to go when it's decent weather. You can park at the pier for a nice walk or park right at T street. Such a cute place with a beautiful view of the beach!! We can't wait to go back read more

Great location right on the sand. Prices are a bit high, but they have breakfast and lunch options and plenty of picnic table seating.

I am giving 5 stars for the "experience" . Seeing San Clemente was on the to-do list while staying in San Diego and after seeing West Toast Cafe, I thought we needed to add breakfast there to the itinerary. While prices are a little on the high-side, it's the location and view that make it worth it. Poor food service delivery guy had to step by step it with the dolly down all those stairs, so remember that while soaking in the sun, watching the waves and feeling the breeze as the Surfliner cruises by. I had an iced coffee and burrito, I personally like shredded hashbrowns in a breakfast burrito, and was happy to see that is what they used. If you do experience it for yourself and don't need the whole table, slide down and let another party join you. They have 4 tables that probably would sit up to 8 people and a bench by where you pick up your food that could hold maybe 6 people. The waffle and Açaí bowls looked good. Will have to try one next time. **Dog friendly! read more

Cute little coffee shop/cafe on the beach. I like that they have Venezuelan food on their menu, which is often hard to find in my experience. I ended up getting a large coffee and some tequenos. I guess you're supposed to ask for cream and sugar or sugar substitute when you order.. I had asked for sugar later and they didn't have any. When I asked for creamer, they handed me a carton of half and half, but the cup was filled to the brim so I couldn't put much in. The tequenos were delicious, but they only give you 4 midget sized tequenos and a small amount of guasacaca sauce for the 8.99 price you pay. Service was friendly and decent. Food was excellent, just way overpriced. read more

West Toast catered my birthday party and everything was fabulous! There was a long table set up for the food with two beautiful umbrellas and also a big tent with a small table was set up with a very Moroccan feel. All of the food was delicious high-end, organic and freshly prepared. The arepas (a special Venezuelan corn cake sandwich) were so delectable, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, filled with cheese and shredded chicken and a green spicy salsa on the side, so delicious! We also had the burgers made with Wagygu (so juicy and delicious), the acai bowls, Nutella toast, avocado toast with and without smoked salmon and octopus ceviche. Everything was amazing. My friends and family are still raving about the fantastic spread! This family run local restaurant is a must when at the beach in San Clemente! read more
