Cafe Wild

Cute and (very) casual beachy café a few block from the ocean. They have a great menu with some fun options. They have you order your food at the desk inside. There was a short line when we arrived. Staff was friendly. Food was delivered to our table fairly quickly. The food was absolutely delicious and my mimosa (served in a paper cup) was surprisingly still very good! I guess you don't need a fancy glass. They have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Depending on my mood, I would be happy to return.

We visited Cafe Wild on a Saturday morning just around the time the opened. Even at 8am the line of people was starting to form behind us. it’s always a good sign when there is a line for a restaurant in my opinion. Upon entering we were greeted warmly and promptly by the staff behind the counter. Please note that you order and pay first at the counter. They friendly staff will then bring you your delicious meal to your seat. Regardless if you’re inside or seated outside. On this this visit we went with the “Tiramisu French Toast” and the “Full English Breakfast”. Let me tell you both meals were outstanding! The French Toast was sweet but not over sweet and adding the tiramisu was a great touch. Now parking in this area can be tricky! Street parking fills up fast, and the public garage about a block away fills up even faster. So being right off the beach give yourself time to circle around a few time to find a spot. Street parking and the garage are metered. Free street parking is a bit further away, and a bit harder to find. So yourself a favor and take a stroll on the Strand by the ocean afterwards and enjoy the fresh ocean air. It’s only a block or two away. We can’t wait to go back.

Nice brunch spot within walking distance of Manhattan beach. Parking will be a challenge. The service is quick with first come first seating- you order & pay inside first and then find a table. We enjoyed outside seating. They have a pretty good menu variety. I really enjoyed the veggie hash- it tasted fresh with a great mix of veggies (including sweet potato, bell peppers, and kale) and quinoa. I also ordered an iced chai latte with almond milk which was just alright. Food was served on paper plates. Total for veggie hash + latte = $23. This is a great spot to visit if you plan to walk alongside the beach for a little bit (because parking will be worth it).

This is a walk up and order place that has a great menu. I was honestly surprised at how delicious the food was only because sometimes the walk up and order restaurants aren't that impressive. Great breakfast or brunch spot for the weekend because it's not in the super busy section of MB. Also great with kids because you don't have to wait too long for food. Def check it out!
