Cafe Wild — Restaurant in Manhattan Beach

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.

What you would assume to be a cute little beach cafe with healthy food and decent flavor is unfortunately failing on most levels

Service was what you’d expect, a nice guy at the front asking you what you’d like with the systematic 15/20/25% tip (even though I’ve been served on a plastic plate).

Breakfast burrito was probably the worst burrito I’ve ever had. Frozen grocery store burritos have better flavor and likely healthier than this. Raw bell peppers overwhelm and pretty sure I tasted mayonnaise. Salsa was flavorless (so I tried some ketchup to give it some flavor). Potatoes come with the dish I’m pretty sure they’ve been sitting under a light for the past hour to stay warm (no crunch or flavor here either).

$26.45 for a burrito and a black coffee.

How does this place have a 4.6?? Anyone who is speaking positively about this place 1. Doesn’t know food. 2. Might be getting...

I am sitting here so incredibly happy and sated after one of the most fulfilling brunches I've ever had the fortune of having - you know the ones where it hits all the right spots ? The great hot coffee , followed by this flavorful savory element ( got the chilaquiles with my eggs unny side up ) and a side of glorious tater tots , and then finishing up with the tiramisu toast. Ngl , I have never liked toast here - maybe because I've never had toast like this - it's perfectly nice and crispy on the outside and oh so soft like a marshmallow, with the goodness of fresh breadyness, on the inside. And the Expresso cream is to die for. This review comes deep from within my stomach's heart - satisfied and blissful. Definitely gonna be a...
