Brunch at C’est La Vie was everything you hope for when dining in Laguna Beach beautiful ocean views, exceptional food, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes you want to stay all day.
We started with a classic breakfast featuring perfectly scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, sausage, fresh fruit, and golden breakfast potatoes. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted fresh and homemade.
The desserts were absolutely incredible. The fresh fruit tart was as beautiful as it was delicious, topped with strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, kiwi, and pineapple over a rich custard filling. Paired with a scoop of cookies-and-cream ice cream, it was the perfect sweet ending. The bread pudding was warm, rich, and full of flavor, making it one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time.
What really sets C’est La Vie apart is the attention to detail from the presentation of every plate to the quality of the ingredients. The service was friendly and attentive, and the oceanfront setting made the entire experience feel special.
If you’re looking for one of the best brunch spots in Laguna Beach, C’est La Vie is a place you don’t want to miss. Great food, beautiful views, and an unforgettable dining experience. We’ll definitely be back. 🥐☕🍓🌊✨

French food never disappoints. Came here for Valentine’s Day and the view of the sunset over the beach was magical. The food is incredible, perhaps the best French onion soup I have ever had. Portions are good and everything is beautifully presented. Staff are very hard working and friendly. The bakery has so many different options and everything tasted great. The interior is large and they have upstairs outdoor patio seating.

This establishment earned 5-stars from me! My husband and I left the high heat of Palm Desert to visit Laguna Beach for brunch. We chose C’est La Vie! I’m so glad we did! At first I was skeptical but the food was amazing. The servers personality was weird to read but he was attentive. We shared a meal. The quantity was enough for 2. Afterwards the brought a dessert tray! I immediately seen the bread pudding. It was the greatest I’ve tasted in a while! Worth every penny!

Was in town for work, had dinner reservations at this gorgeous location. Everything was amazing service and food wise, but the atmosphere was top notch for me. I was a first timer in Laguna Beach and I was just blown away by the view as I ate dinner! Perfect experience!! Had a great time!
