Vibes Beach Cafe

Wow. What a little gem I found. I wanted to celebrate my friends birthday and she wanted brunch at someplace new. This was the location I came up with and it sure was a good one. They don’t take reservations but you can call and put your name on the list. Good thinking but there were 5 of us. And thank goodness we carpooled. Parking is awful over here. Once seated we ordered our drinks. Bummed to find out the frose machine was broken and they were out of champagne glasses for flights. So option 3 was an espresso martini. Well, it was morning and we drink espresso all day so….. this was the bomb. I highly recommend ordering this. We ordered red velvet pancakes for the table. They were beautiful when they came out but let me tell you, 5 girls destroyed that stack like our lives depended on it. Definitely need to order these, whether you decide to share or not. If you’ve read my other reviews, you will see I am somewhat of a creature of habit. Chilaquiles are my go to. I ordered mine with red sauce and a scrambled egg. It had some good heat to it but definitely needed 2 eggs, like most places serve it. The cheeseburger looked good and the breakfast burrito was fat. Service was a little slow. My Mouth was on fire and we waited 20 minutes for water refills. We also had to take our bill to the counter. Not sure if that’s normal or if she just got busy. I absolutely be coming back here. We all enjoyed it very much.

I really enjoyed our family’s lunch we had at Vibes. It was a very relaxing atmosphere and the food tasted super fresh. It was also well prepared and came in large portions. You could easily split a sandwich between two people. Also they had a great coffee bar with a selection of other drinks. Was also not overcrowded and we did not have to wait to get a table.

Place is true to it's name! The vibes here are real! And they are good vibes. The location is nestled in a neighborhood, and near the water. The aesthetics of the cafe are nice and cozy. Like hanging out in the backyard. Service was great. When I arrived, the shop was running strong with only one server and one host. They set the right expectations, and handled business smooth. Our server Robert was top notch! The food, and coffee... Was quite delicious! I ordered a classic: The peninsula. They got this classic dish down. Shared buffalo cauliflower with my partner. It was amazing. Lately, my partner orders the Social Brunch Bowl with hash browns. We both loved it! If I ever come back, I will order that next. Great cafe that deserves the praise.

I've been here a couple of times now. I loved it the first time, but felt like there were some misses this second time. I have ordered a latte, burrito, French toast, breakfast tacos and berry pancakes. the pancakes were a bit dry and the tacos were served completely cold. The waiter has then redone and they were delicious. Other than that, love this location. The service is great and it gets really busy, so you need to arrive early.

Really really great find! Such good food. It's a scratch made kitchen. Glad we found this spot. We had a flay white coffee and oatmeal latte. Good coffee Breakfast we had breakfast burritos, the French toast. Pancakes and chilichillas. All of it was amazing. The only thing is it's freezing inside and we wish they had fresh squeezed orange juice. But otherwise stop by and try the food.

Vibes Beach Cafè is tucked away on a beautiful spot in Belmont Shores by the Los Alamitos Bay. It is female owned, and operated by a mother and daughter team. They are a scratch kitchen and I was informed that everything is made from scratch and made with love. Immediate good vibes. We enjoyed the space of the back patio and took our time while we drank our coffee. My husband ordered the flat white and I had a lavender latte, interesting flavor, subtle hints of lavender and very good. You can definitely see how fresh everything looks, and tasted equally as good. Filling but not heavy. Of course I had to try "the froze you saw on Instagram" I ordered the 16oz that comes in a to go cup, (sealed) they ask you open once outside. The 20oz comes in a resealable pouch (like CapriSun) bring it back and get discount refills. They serve cocktails and the drinks looked so pretty, I wanted to try them all. You are at the beach so parking can be tricky, there is a parking lot at the end of road, it’s not that far of a walk.

Super cute vibe, great brunch spot with friends or a date. We got the buffalo Cauliflower that was cooked perfectly. Our server was super accommodating & friendly. I order a pizza which was large & I needed more people to share it with. Will be coming back
