Sloopy's Beach Cafe — Restaurant in Manhattan Beach

Okay, buckle up My Peeps, because I'm about to sing the praises of a true gem in the culinary landscape in the city of Manhattan Beach: Sloopy's Cafe!

From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a vibe that's equal parts cozy and buzzing. It's the kind of place where you feel instantly at home, whether you're a regular grabbing your morning fuel or a first-timer eager to discover a new favorite. The atmosphere is just right – not too loud, not too quiet, with a warm, inviting energy that makes you want to linger.

But let's talk about the real star of the show: the food! Oh. My. Goodness. Sloopy's doesn't just serve meals; they craft experiences on a plate. Their menu is a delightful mix of comforting classics done exceptionally well and creative twists that tantalize your taste buds.

Their breakfast/brunch game is seriously strong. The pancakes are fluffy clouds of deliciousness, the eggs are cooked to perfection (however you like 'em!), and their signature specials are always worth exploring. I still dream about Berry BBQ Chicken. Lunchtime at Sloopy's is equally impressive. Their sandwiches are stacked high with fresh, quality ingredients, and their salads are anything but boring. They've got that perfect balance of hearty and healthy options, making it the ideal spot for a midday pick-me-up.

And let's not forget the coffee! These folks know their beans. Whether you're craving a perfectly pulled espresso, a creamy latte, or a robust drip coffee, Sloopy's delivers. It's the kind of coffee that actually wakes you up and makes you excited for the day ahead.

But what truly elevates Sloopy's from just a good cafe to an awesome one is the people. The staff are genuinely friendly and attentive. They greet you with a smile, remember your usual order (if you become a regular, and trust me, you'll want to!), and make you feel like a valued guest. Their passion for what they do shines through in every interaction.

In short, Sloopy's Cafe is more than just a place to eat; it's an experience. It's where you go for delicious food made with love, fantastic coffee that fuels your day, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like part of the family.

My final verdict? Run, don't walk, to Sloopy's Cafe. You won't be disappointed. It's a true gem and a must-try for anyone in the area (or even worth a detour!). Five out...

Try the salted caramel coffee shake!

I had the strawberry cheesecake shake, it was bland, but my toddler drunk it. I tasted my husband's shake and we came back 2 days later, with friends, just for shakes. My salad, I can't remember the name, "Asian something", was good. I only wish the dressing packed more of a punch. The fries were so delicious and crispy. The whole time we were there the fries stayed crispy, like how?! My son enjoyed the fries and the fruit from my husband's French toast. He also had eggs that he wrecked lol.

My husband seemed to really enjoy the French today and some breakfast sandwich that he ordered. He plans on visiting again before our vacation is over.

I believe the original bill for 2 shakes, a salad, a breakfast sandwich that came with breakfast potatoes, fries and French toast, was $99. We spent a little over $100, after the tip. $100 for 2 people and a 1 year old to eat breakfast is hefty. But when when in Rome, Yolo. The fact that my husband loved his food so much that he's dining here again after spending so much on breakfast says a lot.

Sloopys is definitely worth a try. Just be ready to spend a little over your normal breakfast budget. Also the ambiance inside is so chill. It's like a dine in greenhouse...

NEVER AGAIN! I have lived a long time and I have never experienced such a bait and switch as this place. We ordered our food and when it came time to pay, the bill was 4 dollars more on one of the items. We informed the waitress and she told us that they have a policy that prices are subject to change according to the market. She was able to point out that it was indeed written in small font at the bottom of the menu. However, there was no explanation as to what, when, or why the new price would apply. It certainly did not list the item that we ordered as 39.95. It was listed on the menu for 35.95. So who is to stop them from up charging whatever they want, whenever they want? Their system is ludicrous and they explained that they kept having to order new menus so they just put that little blurb in about prices can change without notice. We suggested a digital menu if they need to be so cheap! Welcome to owning a business where your expenses fluctuate!!!! The waitress had to call the owner to have it corrected because we flat out refused to pay the difference. Not a relaxing or enjoyable dining experience and I do not enjoy someone trying to take advantage of me!!...
