Tide Pools in Huntington Beach is definitely more on the casual side, in the best way, easy, relaxed, and great for a no fuss meal.
The cauliflower crust pizza was pretty good, crisp, flavorful, and satisfying. The Caesar salad and the avocado salad were both really nice, and the warm chicken on top made them feel like a real meal, not just a side situation. Biggest shoutout though is the service, genuinely excellent, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel smoother and more welcoming.

Newport Beach gem. Great breakfast burritos and sandwiches. A little pricy but worth it. Food came fast. Really great ownership here. Perfect spot to come after surfing early in the am.

I’ve had a lot of great breakfast burritos. This one is undoubtedly top 3! Maybe top 2. Maybe even #1. This burrito was out of this world.

Very good start for the day with Wakey Wakey Buritto (plain) and Avacado salad. Nice atmosphere with very friendly staff.. Ice cream is strongly suggested after the meal!

50 minutes and counting for 1 burrito to go. I watched everyone in front of me get their food before me. They weren’t even very busy when I got there and ordered. Unbelievable for the price the burrito is honestly…

Really delicious food that’s relatively affordable for the area and generous portions. Great for take out or picnicking at the beach. Will come back!

My experience at TidePooles was satisfying, ordering the sunrise breakfast burrito. A friend of mine was with me who brought a dog, and we were able to sit in their back patio area. The patio is a bit underwhelming with kid like seating, uncomfortable picnic style tables albeit it fake grass was a hit for the dog so there’s that. The food made up for its patio decor, which I would have to say, was one of the best burritos I’ve had in a long time. Very clean and not overdone with cheese, the guacamole and hashbrowns were the perfect blend. You can tell alot about a place when you take a look at their bathroom which was well maintained and large. I’ll be going back soon, for the food not the bathroom.

Went in the morning to pick up a new smoothie from tidepoole’s that I saw advertised in instagram. I ordered the mango cream wave and it was the bomb. Staff was phenomenal and very friendly, and the vibe of the place was top notch. I will definitely be going back to try some of their ice cream, because who doesn’t love ice cream and smoothies. Definitely a 10/10 experience

Had the pleasure of lunch here today. I don’t give 5 stars often. This is a cool beach deli with chef inspired sandwiches. I ordered the club with apple wood smoked bacon. Delicious and yummy. I want to try other items on the menu
