24 Best Cafes in Huntington Beach

“Perfect ristretto - and good advice on where to find real espresso bars ☝️😎🌋“

“One particularly hot night my mom and I searched, “Best Gelato near me” and the top result was Mangiamo! After eating the gelato 3 times in a row, we can definitely say that title is well earned! The Double Chocolate flavor is for sure the best chocolate flavored Gelato in the whole state of California; not to mention it’s totally authentic too! The server is also incredibly kind and pleasant to talk to. Overall, this place is such a phenomenal experience and we would highly recommend it for vacationers and gelato connoisseurs alike!“

“Wow. You need to grab a breakfast burrito and a banana cream cold foam iced latte (which they rotate seasonal coffees every few months). Also, a fantastic grab and go cold section to take a quick snack down to the beach. Sundays, Ian whips out the bbq and grills up some incredible smash burgers 10/10. **coming soon, taco Tuesdays. Surfer vibes, bring the fam, come chillax.“

“great service. fun yummy food and reasonable prices. go !“

“I’m so grateful for the excellent care my dog has received while at Paw Chateau. I trust everyone there implicitly and this give me such peace of mind while away from home. Thank you Paw Chateau! Ruger loves his visits!“

“Like everything H.B., this place has a good vibe. Great service and amazing food. If you enjoy people watching, then outside seating is a must.
The Sugar Shack is know for its French toast, which didn't disappoint, nor did the biscuits and gravy.
If you're in the area you must give this place a try.“

“I got the pork belly larb which was very flavorful and yummy. It was a bit pricey, but the portion size was big enough to split into two meals. Strawberry matcha latte was $6, but there is also a slightly different strawberry matcha latte that was $8, so be sure to clarify which version you want. Free chocolate chip cookies, muffins, and nut mix was very nice.“

“I really like to get my latte from this shop. Very polite and smiley staff. Thanks HB Bagels & Cafe for my morning caffeine!“

“Located inside of old world in HB, gourmet strudel makes the best apple strudel ever! I’ve been going here for at least the last decade and Michelle’s baking quality meets my expectations every time. I bought 3 and some chocolates today. Highly recommend calling ahead of time, especially during the busier/holiday season so they can save your pastry!“

“Cozy, small hidden gem inside a Huntington Beach’s alley. Various drinks from the menu and they also have pork rolls/ skewers.“

“My new favorite spot! The breakfast burrito was so delicious! The Cali-Burrito is my favorite! Filled me up! Anthony is the owner, and he's such a great person! The staff here is amazing! I'm curious to try their breakfast plates. 10/10 recommended as I'm big with service, size of food, and taste.“

“the best coffee place in Huntington Beach. I would highly recommend it. 👍 ☺️“

“By far the best coffee in Huntington Beach and maybe best cafe in Orange County. So friendly and the food it delicious.“

“Met up with my girlfriend for an early morning breakfast at Sweet Elle Café before she headed to work on a Saturday. The café is super cute inside, creating a lovely atmosphere to start the day.

Food and Drink Highlights
I ordered the lox bagel with everything, and it was fantastic. They were unfortunately out of one of the key ingredients for the seasonal drink, so I opted for an iced vanilla latte. It was delicious, and I appreciated the option to customize it with different types of milk--though I stuck to the original. My friend got a breakfast bowl featuring their homemade in-house jam, which I tasted and found to be delightful, she got one of their other seasonal drinks, hot, which I tasted, and that was great too!
Overall the café has a charming interior and patio with a welcoming vibe.I love that they are pet-friendly, adding to the cozy and inviting atmosphere. I'm looking forward to returning and trying more of their breakfast options.

A wonderful spot for breakfast, Sweet Elle Café is definitely a place to revisit!“

“Coffee is great. Food is great. Service and wait time however not so great, waited over 30min. For a bacon and cheese sandwich.“

“very great service amazing coffee and great snacks“

“Lots of great taste in a sandwich & secret sauce is amazing!“

“Delicious breakfast/ brunch food, indoor and patio seating, friendly staff

The challah French toast is legit!

“The Mend” tortilla soup with poached eggs is incredible with salsa and flower tortillas is bomb!

The Tuna sandwich is authentic!

They have a larger menu than what’s posted online.
The healthy omelette with chicken verde spicy sauce is my fave!“

“This is a wonderful restaurant with a beautiful outdoor setting that makes breakfast or lunch extra special. You can enjoy the peaceful lake views, watch the birds, and even see the horses while enjoying a well-prepared meal. The location is relaxing and scenic, truly a hidden gem by the water. The food is delicious and nicely presented, and although service can be a bit slow, it gives our family time to unwind and enjoy being together. We love that it’s just a short walk to the library, which makes it a perfect family outing. With great service, plenty of parking, and a gorgeous setting, it’s an ideal spot for a laid-back meal.“

“I dropped just about everything that was set in front of me and Katy was quick to come to my rescue every time. Drink and food were amazing and all requests were accommodated. She even played into our humor which most servers would probably be annoyed with because if you have worked in the biz, you know when 8 ladies walk into the restaurant, it’s gonna be a treat. Katy for president!“

“Never really been here, however a friend took me to lunch yesterday and today I had to bring my husband! And he gave it a 5 star! The food and service are both excellent!“

“A couple of my favorite things surfboards and coffee, i’m in. Delicious food and beverages served in a warm and friendly mom and pop environment. Fun staff that will share stories and brighten your day. I’ve been grateful enough to share time with friends out front for years and talk story. The point it’s always breaking, Java Point.“

“One of the nicer Panera Bread locations. Great seating options. Great for work, social, meetings, free WiFi. Food was fresh and good. Got the New Parm Salad and the Hearty Chili (both were good).
They don’t have as many order kiosks as some other locations. But that’s not a big deal for me. I’ll definitely be back to work and dine.“
