Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
If you’re spending time at Aliso Beach, this little sand-level café is an absolute gem! The views are unbeatable — you can literally enjoy your breakfast or lunch with your toes in the sand and the ocean right in front of you. The food and drinks are fresh and perfect for a beach day, but what really makes this spot special is the friendly service. Jordyn and Cooper were fantastic — super welcoming, quick with our order, and genuinely kind. They make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time. Whether you’re grabbing an alcoholic beverage lemonade or fish and chips, after a swim or just watching the waves, this is the perfect place to relax and soak it all in. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Laguna Beach!
The ceviche was excellent, employees were super nice and helpful! The fish and chips were too soggy and the fish had a slight fishy smell. Great spot to sit and eat next to the beach.
My husband & I walked over to the Lost Pier Cafe for breakfast. We were staying at the Ranch. It’s about a 10-minute walk. It’s on the other side of PCH. There’s a paid parking lot there, but it was filling up quickly with people going to Aliso Beach. I got a honey oat latte and avocado toast. My husband got a breakfast burrito. The food was good, but we probably wouldn’t have gone there if it hadn’t been right on the beach. You order at the window. The people who work there were friendly. The seating is all outside with a view of the ocean. There’s no indoor seating. They do have bathrooms. It’s very casual and easy to bring kids.
Nice chilled out beach bar with good food. Beautiful setting to have a bite to eat with a cold beer watching the sunset.
Food was pretty good with decent proportions and priced accordingly. Great view of the beach while you eat.
