If you’re looking for a place that truly feels like home and offers a beautiful view, this is the spot in Manhattan Beach. This cute, family-owned restaurant delivers incredible hospitality and amazing food. Everything tasted fresh and comforting, the chilaquiles were especially delicious and had that perfect homemade flavor. My family also loved the waffles, and the portions were generous and satisfying. The latte was good for a non coffee specialty location. The orange juice is freshly squeezed, amazing. A wonderful place to enjoy great food, a relaxed atmosphere, and genuine hospitality.

I went there with my friend on Saturday for the breakfast, wasn’t too crowded. The view for the ocean was amazing, but the survey was not as good, cuz the lady being rude kinda, she came and brought the check , we paid, tipped 20%. I haven’t seen my fried for 4 years and I just wanted to talk to her, but the lady didn’t stop coming and coming like, you’ve done your food, so free up the table ♀️. The coffee was good, I’m not picky at all, but the omelette didn’t taste good, and the chicken had no flavor at all.

8-21-25 Visit: Healthy, delicious Mediterranean lunch! Outdoor patio with beautiful view of Manhattan Beach. Memorable experience, good vibes, prompt customer service by the owner. Had their “Mediterranean Sampler” & roast chicken. Patio area was clean, lots of flowers, literally butterflies hovering around. My hotel “Hyatt LAX” concierge, recommended this laid-back South Bay community for an afternoon lunch & walk on beach.10min walk to beach, Pier & “The Strand”.

I admire and appreciate any eatery that doesn’t exploit its envious environment by scrimping on quality. Here you get what its name advertises, with the bonus of fresh and filling food and fast, friendly service (I came on a high-traffic holiday Saturday and got my OJ & breaky burrito in a few minutes) in a pretention-free oasis. The cafe’s petite patio overlooking the Pacific is pleasantly low-key with locals ( SoBay 4eva!) and few obvious tourists, tucked around the corner from the main drag. You’ll want to come again. I do!

This morning we went to Ocean View Cafe.
Our friend was taking the pic and other friend came a few minutes after. But guess what they charged 29.05 for service for 6 people. They count my baby that I shared a meal with him and even brought my own plate for him.
That’s very disappointing, they also charged more for the tip than what we gave.

Lovely partial ocean views with very friendly yet very inattentive inattentive service. Plastic chairs are not comfortable and tables are small. Didn’t notice the B rating until after we ordered or we would have left.
Chilaquiles were tasty as promised by our server, but the carne asada was way oversalted while conversely the beans had no salt. Their neighbor’s gardener showed up with a leaf blower and completely ruined my meal,with dirt and debris but it wasn’t very good to begin with anyway. That omelet didn’t have nearly enough cheese and the spinach was added raw & unseasoned just ike the tasteless eggs. We felt the food was overpriced for the lack of quality. There are far better options in Manhattan Beach. The staff was so nice so I hope they take this to heart and make some simple improvements to improve the experience for future guests. Oh, also the patio umbrellas overlap to create a makeshift patio cover so it would be difficult for them to lower an umbrella for you to hav direct sunshine if that’s what you’re seeking.

Great location (parking was a bit rough on Sunday around 1pm). Nice that it seems family ran. Food is okay. Guess you could say it’s traditional homemade style, but pretty pricey for what it was. Not the healthiest, which I understand doesn’t seem like the goal here. But cute. Great service.

The owner and staff are kind, fun and attentive. The view & atmosphere were soothing & so beautiful overlooking the ocean. The food was great! I had the shrimp with the owners “secret” sauce and it was so good, my partner had the fish tacos. I cleaned out the container of sauce. I can’t wait for the owner to get it in store or online. I highly recommend

Nice place off the Main Street, with an ocean view. Food was average, friendly staff. I recommend the shrimp cocktail – go for the large

I loved the place near the beach. It’s a very small local café with a great ocean view and a long waiting time. Good food & great service.
