If you’re spending time at Aliso Beach, this little sand-level café is an absolute gem! The views are unbeatable — you can literally enjoy your breakfast or lunch with your toes in the sand and the ocean right in front of you. The food and drinks are fresh and perfect for a beach day, but what really makes this spot special is the friendly service.

Jordyn and Cooper were fantastic — super welcoming, quick with our order, and genuinely kind. They make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time. Whether you’re grabbing an alcoholic beverage lemonade or fish and chips, after a swim or just watching the waves, this is the perfect place to relax and soak it all in.

Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Laguna Beach!

The ceviche was excellent, employees were super nice and helpful! The fish and chips were too soggy and the fish had a slight fishy smell. Great spot to sit and eat next to the beach.

My husband & I walked over to the Lost Pier Cafe for breakfast. We were staying at the Ranch. It’s about a 10-minute walk. It’s on the other side of PCH. There’s a paid parking lot there, but it was filling up quickly with people going to Aliso Beach.

I got a honey oat latte and avocado toast. My husband got a breakfast burrito. The food was good, but we probably wouldn’t have gone there if it hadn’t been right on the beach.

You order at the window. The people who work there were friendly. The seating is all outside with a view of the ocean. There’s no indoor seating. They do have bathrooms. It’s very casual and easy to bring kids.

Nice chilled out beach bar with good food. Beautiful setting to have a bite to eat with a cold beer watching the sunset.

To me, well worth the price just for the view! Lots of free parking on a mid-September early afternoon. Fish tacos tasty too! $18+$4 water.

Perfect place to enjoy delicious fish and chips while enjoying the beach view. The tartar sauce was really really good, fresh juicy lemons served with our fish too. My son said the fish tacos were great!

This beach front cafe really surprised the hell out of us! This is nothing like your typical fast food beach shack. The quality of everything we ordered was very high despite its relaxed vibe directly on the beach. While the food took a little time to come out and they got one of our orders incorrect, it was well worth the wait since they cook everything fresh. There was also plenty of parking available, both metered and free for restaurant customers.

The Breakfast Burrito was encased in a thick tortilla that kept all the contents nicely snug inside, but it wasn’t overly heavy. The bacon bits in the center were thick and not overcooked. The hash browns were more like Piknik potato chips than hash browns due to their crispiness, which honestly added a great texture to the burrito in comparison to undercooked potatoes that tend to cause mushiness. The tortilla chips on the side were super thin, reminiscent of Chili’s chips, but the Tajín seasoning and spicy yet tangy salsa elevates it so much.

The French Toast was visually very appealing with lots of colors from the berries and a white dust of powdered sugar. I appreciated that the fruit was properly ripened, delivering flavor and sweetness with every bite, and the large amount of toasted almond slices brought in a good balance of nuttiness and crunch since the other ingredients are soft. Since they used brioche bread, the french toast itself was even eggier than normal, which I personally prefer to make it a heartier meal. The maple syrup was a classic choice, but I think a fruit reduction would have taken this to another level since the syrup is too easily absorbed and could use more moisture.

The Fish and Chips was our least favorite as we originally ordered the fish tacos, but it was still tasty. There was a significant amount of lightly battered fish, fried to a perfect golden brown and had an audible crunch with every bite. Almost reminded us of the crispiness you get in vegetable/egg roll wrappers. While the texture was spot on, the fish itself wasn’t well seasoned, so the tartar sauce and lemon wedges were definitely needed to provide acidity and salt. The fries are double battered, similar to Checkers/Rally’s fries, but without all the black pepper. We added some of the Tajín from the chips and LOVED it! They should seriously consider this as an optional seasoning. They could even add it to the fish for a spicy kick.

Love this place! Quality food right on the beach – I don’t know of any place like this.

Lived in South Laguna a couple of years ago, and always look forward to eating here when I’m in the area.

Been here a few times and the food is pretty decent usually, and they’ve got beers! Tried the poke bowl this time and it was pretty dang salty, just like the ocean. Come for the view and stay for a sunset, but the food can be hit or miss.
