“**Review for Sparrow Restaurant**

My family and I recently dined at Sparrow Restaurant and had an outstanding experience. The service was superb, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. We ordered the burger and the chicken sandwich, both of which were delicious and of very high quality.

The overall ambiance of the restaurant is fantastic—quiet and relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a meal. We were thoroughly impressed with the taste and quality of the food, and we can't wait to return with friends. Sparrow Restaurant is a hidden gem that we highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience.

“Malibu Farm on the Pier is one of my favorite spots in town — fresh food, gorgeous views, and that quintessential Malibu coastal atmosphere. I often bring clients and friends here because the setting really captures the lifestyle people fall in love with when they think of Malibu. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or a late afternoon stop, Malibu Farm is always consistent, relaxed, and such a beautiful place to unwind.“

“If you want to use the words “epic awesome” I think you’d be describing this place they have a lot of fun even actually have a VHS player where you can watch older movies and enjoy yourself seating is incredible especially outdoors because of course you’re in Malibu but I have to tell you the espresso? It’s absolutely perfect I ordered the Doppio con Panna and for dessert I tried out the gelato this is the first time I have a combined it salted peanut butter with chocolate and let me tell you even Reeses couldn’t make something this heavenly! The staff was incredibly friendly the environment was loads of fun and the music was great I love the gelato the texture and flavor well well worth it in the flavor of the coffee was smooth with not too strong of an aftertaste I threw some whip cream on my espresso though because I still have that sweet tooth I just can’t get rid of“

“There’s something about Malibu mornings that just hit different, and grabbing my caramel macchiato at this Starbucks felt like the perfect way to start the day. The staff here deserves real credit — super friendly, quick with the orders, and even on a busy morning rush they kept the vibe calm and easy. Service alone is a 5.

The coffee? Exactly what I wanted. Hot, strong, and balanced with that caramel sweetness I come back for every time. I’ve been to plenty of Starbucks all over California, but this one keeps a special spot on my list whenever I’m in Malibu.

The interior is clean and modern with plenty of seating inside, and the outside patio is a nice bonus if you want to sit under the umbrellas and breathe in the ocean air just a few minutes away. The only thing that threw me off — there’s no restroom inside. Honestly, I didn’t expect that in a Malibu Starbucks. Not a dealbreaker, but surprising for sure.

Still, it’s all about the coffee and the service, and they nailed both. For me, this place is locked at ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Pro tip: grab your drink here before heading down to the beach or cruising the PCH — it sets the tone just right.“

“No napkins at all Very bad for business“
