50 Best Cafes near Seal Beach

“First time here and Everything was great food was great and Rob our waiter was amazing. Will be back for sure.“

“Great friendly vibe and delicious food.“

“Marina Cafe in Seal Beach is an absolute gem! The boba Thai tea was amazing, and the Dubai Strawberry Cup was fantastic — you can truly taste every flavor in every bite and sip. Everything was fresh, balanced, and made with so much care.

A special congratulations to Marina on your schooling — your mom was so proud as we chatted, and it was such a joy to witness that love and support. Moments like that make this place even more special.

We’ll definitely be back.
Love always,
Thai, Khai & Nye ♥️“

“Woke up hung over af and had cravings for some soup. Found this gem through a friend and I lucked out bc I was craving chicken pho, my favorite. Have to say it's my first time in this area (Wrigley Village) but it's nice to know there are still cozy corner stores serving up small specialized menu items. P.S Compliments to the chef for the wonderful bowl of goodness and s/o to my server Nick for being awesome! Definitely will be back to try their other items like their banh mi (that pho French dip sounds🔥🔥)“

“What a wonderful brunch. We shared the breakfast platter and it was plenty for three people! Well we did have a couple of extras like a spinach boreck and an extra Simit!
Not only is the food wonderful, but the service and the beautiful personalities of the owner and her son and everybody working there was delightful.
Teşekkür ederim! !!
We'll be back.

“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!“

“My favorite place for kumquat lemon iced tea with crystal boba. I love the vibe when you walk in is very peaceful and relaxing. They also use fresh fruits so you can taste it instead of too much syrup. Would recommend !“

“1000% will be back! I was at the laundromat next door and ran over for a quick lunch while my clothes were in the dryer. The service was impeccable and quick, food was delicious, and portions were spot on. I had the breakfast bowl and an order of mini pancakes and will have enough for a second meal. You can tell it’s all made by hand and with love, fresh and hot. The restaurant was also clean and comfortable with plenty of street parking nearby. There is a laundromat next door too - so you could give yourself a little treat while your clothes are in the dryer.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff! Eleno has been working to support the local community for five years now. Stop by and see for yourself.“

“Padekwa was an absolute delight! The hazelnut cookie latte, banana nut dirty chai, and vanilla almond pound cake were all incredibly delicious and did not disappoint. Every item was crafted perfectly and full of flavor.

Beyond the amazing coffee and treats, Padekwa has such a unique and welcoming atmosphere. It's the perfect spot for meeting friends, working, or hosting small to mid-size gatherings and events. A true hidden gem that combines exceptional drinks, tasty bites, and a space that brings people together.“

“I have been trying to get in severally times but fail due to overcrowded not taking reservations. Other than that, good restaurant for breakfast n lunch, closed at 2pm“

“Rarely leave reviews but visiting from NYC and very impressed w/ the quality. I’m pretty picky w/ my coffee and this is a great choice in the area. They even use coffee ice cubes to keep the drinks from diluting… Highly recommend“

“Just had the most amazing experience at Wolf's Brew Coffee! This place is a hidden gem for coffee lovers. The delicious coffee is a treat for the taste buds, and the welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home. ☕️🏠 But here's the best part - we have a market every 3rd Saturday! Sip on your favorite brew and then shop local vendors, supporting our community while spending quality time with friends and family. It's the perfect way to start the weekend. Don't miss out on this incredible spot that combines great coffee, a warm ambiance, and a chance to support local businesses. Cheers to Wolf's Brew Coffee! ☕🛍️ #SupportLocal #CoffeeLovers #SipThenShop“

“amazing coffee's, great barista/owner“

“First time being here.
I had cash but they only accept card.
Cameron provided a wonderful experience and a free coffee!
I tipped my smaller bulls but felt bad since I had a large bill (surviving until pay day).

I’ll definitely be back if I’m in the area.
Gracias“

“The iced chai, churro latte (hot or cold) and their bagels are to die for. I live out of state but cannot wait to go back when I’m in So Cal! Employees are so nice too - seems as though they are very happy working there:)“

“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.“

“I really like it because the food is good and prices reasonable“

“So my coworkers would always say how this place was soooo good and i have never heard of it or tried it before. I would always walk by it when working and think how great they would look at the window. Well today i was finally able to try the peach cobbler cheesecake and man.... It was delicious. The crust has so much flavor and the texture of the cheesecake isnt crazy dense like most. Its the perfect amount of density. Not only is the cheesecake great but the owner and his family story is heartwarming. Now if you love cheesecake as much as i do (i get a cheesecake every year for my birthday and Christmas) i recommend stopping by. He has alot of flavors to choose from.“

“Soooo delicious!! Ordered to-go & took us a little over 20mins to get home & surprisingly my Shaved Iced dessert was still frozen! Very satisfied with how everything tasted. I ordered the Green Tea Snow with Oreos, Strawberries & Popping Boba combination. I loved it. I also ordered the Pistachio & Matcha Green Tea Macarons & the Milk Tea. The Pistachio Macarons & Milk Tea was delicious. Definitely recommend. (Didn’t get to try Jesse’s Breakfast)“

“엘에이에 가면 커피마시러 가장 먼저 가보고 싶은 곳 💕💕💕“

“Family Friendly and quite lovely“

“Try their Sandwhich. It is sooo delicious. We enjoyed the food. Very clean and it is very cozy. Loved the ambiance. And the owner is very friendly. I will recommend this place to everyone that want to enjoy getting together with close friends. Mom and daughter bonding will be a fun place to go. Hope to go back again soon.“

“Went late one evening right before closing and needed a pick me up and got an iced cafe de olla latte. It was delicious. I was there for about 10 minutes talking with the barista and she was so nice and knowledgeable about their business. Let me try some of the cream soda which is A+ made in house child nostalgia. Need to bring my mom back there with me.“

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

“We LOVE George’s for a quick lunch, nice dinner, or catering a party! They have been there for me for all my dining or party needs. They never disappoint. Both the food and the service is outstanding.“

“Amazing little family run shop. They have smoothies and bagels, lots of coffee options and tons of great supplements like mushrooms, turmeric, etc.
cute seating areas, though not too large. Great patio too.
Highly recommend!“

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

“For 20 years, after we have a family get together. Its been a tradition that we all have breakfast at the Magnolia Cafe before we all part ways. It’s always clean, the food is always delicious and the service has always been wonderful. It is truly a special establishment!“

“Delicious!!! Definitely coming back. Great friendly service!…🥰“

“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Knottea Cafe on our interview date. As someone who willingly admits that she’s not the biggest fan of boba teas, I fully admit that I sometimes forget that boba shops do in fact carry other types of drinks. Knottea Cafe in Stanton, CA is exactly one of those shops that makes sure to have a decent variety of beverages to meet any visitor’s needs. They have everything from milk teas to smoothies to a build your own favor option, and of course, they have some wonderful coffee options for the bean lovers out there. A mere ten minutes away from Knott’s Berry Farm and twenty minutes from Disneyland Park, Knottea Cafe is a great pitstop on your way for a fun day at the amusement park.“

“Really nice place, coconut matcha cloud is sweet and really good, matcha ruby cookie tastes well too.
Triple chocolate cookie is not sweet.
Space is really small but friendly to go by yourself or 1 more person.
Price is fair.“

“This place always has a line so
I had to check it out!

I must say I am a fan of their matcha! 🍵
I like how they offer different matcha drinks to choose from. I’ve only had one so far but will be back to try others to find my favorite!

The interior is clean and airy. The service is pretty quick given the amount of drinks they pump out! Very impressive!“

“I like to enjoy my favorite White Chocolate mocha and the good people !! They are very servicial with the customers !“

“Located INSIDE grocery store on the Exit side and co-located with another vendor.
Limited seating but not bad.
Payment limited to cash, Zelle or Venmo when we went.
Order tracking non existent but we made it work.
Prices are reasonable.
Bingsoo was tasty for sure.
Will return if in the area. Not a place I would make the drive for again.“

“Visited this place randomly after finding out they had Hojicha. I ordered the Hojicha (was perfect and nutty) and a banana nut bread (warm, with a plate and perfect banana to nut ratio). Stayed for a bit to do some work on the laptop. Their merch is hella cool and they have super cute stickers. Visiting from NYC but will come back again!!“

“Everything nice people good coffee“

“Good People Good Coffee Good Times“

“We just ate at the San Juan Capistrano restaurant and it was amazing. Staff is warm friendly and the food was on point! We came for dinner and my steak was done perfectly. My husband had the Bronzino cooked to perfection. I highly recommend!“

“Excellent food, great service and a great chat with the owner. Very friendly and great assortment of food..“

“We came most days during our trip to the area. Highlights were the vegan cookies, seasonal rose cardimon lattes hot, the iced vanilla latte and avocado toast. Friendly and creative staff. Also tried the pistachio chocolate croissant and the sweet scone. Everything was awesome! I wouldn’t order the sweet scone again (wasn’t that sweet) but everything overall was so nice and the service was so pleasant. They are a very nice coffee shop“

“Satisfacción 🤤💪🏼 got my dessert fix and cool off happy.“

“This was a wonderfully meal we got lucky and got seats at the cafe bar. I had biscuts and gravy and lol a half order of eggs benedict. Delicious I would totally recomend thos spot . All the food looked good wish I had room for a cinnamon rool with extra icing it looked amazing. Go.“
