Great service and less busy than the place next door, you don't feel rushed to eat, pay & get out. Very nice place to enjoy chocolate chip pancakes. Dogs are welcome and the ambiance is very relaxed.

I randomly found this place when looking for a place for brunch! And this place did not disappoint!! It was sooo good! And it was literally right next to the beach. It's a short walk down to the beach. The breeze was perfect on a hot day and the food was refreshing. We got a veggie sandwich, blueberry chocolate chip pancakes and a pesto chicken sandwich. The waitress also gave us a free smoothie which by the way was soooo refreshing !! I definitely recommend , I will most definitely going back!!

Great breakfast! Has the classics, family owned vibes, quick and friendly service, awesome location. I'm a sucker for classic eggs, bacon, and hash browns. This place nailed it, flew into LAX with time to kill, needed breakfast, glad I found this spot. It's definitely not your upscale LA,more aesthetic than yummy, plant based avocado joint LOL Awesome price point for the area as well! note: outdoor seating only, discount if you pay with cash!

Food so flavorful, delicious and authentic. Service Genuine, friendly and family energy. Ambience, what a great spot, good view.

It was a little difficult finding the restaurant because the entrance is hidden and cozied in on the side of another restaurant. Seating was available when we arrived (1ish pm on a saturday). We ordered 2 plates: (1) a ham and cheese omelette w/ hash browns, (2) waffles w/ scrambled eggs, hash & sausage Very delicious & the house-made salsa was delightful!! We also ordered a macchiato and vanilla latte, not as exciting. Being on the beach was probably the most wonderful part of the experience.

A small family business! Such a cute restaurant with a beautiful view! The service is family oriented & I believe it is also family ran & owned Now for the food: Turkey Breast Sandwich 10/10: so tasty & made fresh! The quality of the food is always fresh along with fresh squeezed orange juice if you're in the area, stop by & enjoy some great food with a beautiful view! There is limited seating & can get quite busy!

Wanted to hit a brunch spot in Manhattan Beach and this did the trick. You could almost miss it because of the overwhelming crowds at the pancake shops next door, but this had a much more intimate, breezy feel than the chaos of its neighboring establishment. The food was a mix of Mexican, Mediterranean, and American. The place felt family run which I liked. We waited about 20-25 mins after putting our names down for a two top, but eventually got seated (to be expected - it was brunch time on a Sunday). All seating is outdoors but they had a bunch of umbrellas to shade you from the midday sun. They served Lavazza coffee and everything looked good on the menu. I went with the chilaquiles verdes and y'all, that verde sauce was GOOD. My husband got the Baja burrito and said it was also delicious. He also got some house salsa on the side which he liked. The waffle wasn't as crunchy as I was hoping it would be (it had more of a chewy texture), but still a tasty sweet ending to our otherwise savory meal. TIP: there's one single bathroom inside that you have to walk past the tiny kitchen to get to, so you may have to wait a sec to use it. Show your admiration and appreciation for the kitchen staff/cooks as you walk by, though; they were working hard and it was hot as hell in there!

While planning to enjoy a day off and explore, I came across this quaint little cafe in Manhattan Beach on Yelp and had to stop in. It was a smaller place (check out the video), so I would definitely call beforehand for a larger group. They also didn't take reservations or waitlist, but it seemed easy enough to get a seat. I walked up and waiting less than 5 minutes for a table. Parking was also surprisingly easy to get and walk right across the street to the cafe. We stopped in on a Monday early afternoon so that may have contributed. Food was flavorful, fresh, and exactly as described and pictured. I ordered a veggie omelette and a large mango smoothie. Ocean View Cafe was a lovely, simple brunch option. It wasn't too expensive and offered large portion sizes (you can def split!) It didn't seem like they served liquor or wine, but it would have been great to enjoy a mimosa or cocktail on a nice summer day. Finally, the staff were very kind and accommodating. I would recommend stopping in if you're in Manhattan Beach for brunch.
