Beachcomber Cafe - Crystal Cove

We really enjoyed our meal! We were seated on the patio and had a great view of the beach and ocean, and Catalina too. We had made reservations just to be safe but it looked like we didn't need to, possibly because it was a Thursday and had been raining earlier. The food was delicious!

I dearly love clam chowder, I have been warned by others not to order it at Beachcomber. But today, I decided to order it. Wow, there is a ton of salt in that dish. It was a big disappointment. The lobster sandwich was wonderful. Love that you carry ginger beer.

Always a pleasure to walk thru sand to a restaurant and dine to the sound of ocean waves. We were delighted to be on time for the raising of the cocktail flag tradition. The specialty drink list is a must choose from experience. Our waiter Max was outstanding. Blankets are a nice touch on a chilly evening. So glad they expanded - Hope this special place is here forever!

Food was great! Love the view on the beach ocean waves. Service was great and friendly.

Hard to beat an awesome view of the Pacific with great service and breakfast.

If you're looking for a place with the best view (right on the beach), great service and wonderful food, look no further. Beachcomber Cafe is it. If you can, either make reservations in advance, or plan on waiting 1-2 hours and go for a long walk on the beach. I find my blood pressure goes down about 20 points by just being there. The food and service is top notch. Try the artichoke appetizer!

Our waiter Ryan was so sweet, he helped us decide on what to order and didn’t give us a hard time at all about our food allergies etc. Food was delicious, drinks were made with fresh and unique ingredients. Ambiance was great. Worth it to note that you should arrive early to leave Ample time to take the shuttle to the restaurant since the parking lot is across PCH.

Great food, great people

We had our first anniversary dinner at this very special place. The restoration of Crystal Cove contributes a superlative ambiance which enhances all of the outstanding experiences:
Exceptional server, best calimari in SoCal, the entres where beyond delicious, and the anniversary dessert topped off a spectacular dining experience !!! I would recommend it as a top of the list !! .........Get reservations early

Amazing view, and great food and service. loved it!

Tables too close to each other However enjoyed it 😀

I had a friend visiting from out of town ... everything was perfect ... our table ... our server ... our drinks ...the food ... and of course, the beignets! Thank you for a FABULOUS afternoon!

This is a very special place...You could not ask for a better ambience and the food is terrific...with plenty of options. Service is also excellent.

Fabbbbuullooouusssss

My friend is moving out of the area and this was on the bucket list of to dos! So glad we did it! Everything was terrific. I highly recommend making reservations...and it has to be at least the day before.

Great ambiance and delicious food! Nothing beats a lovely meal on the beach at sunset.

Wife’s Birthday everything was great

Loved our brunch! Excellent service. Thoughtful dishes and that ocean view was so perfect!

love, love ,love the Beachcomber...such wonderful food and the ocean at the doorstep!!!Been going there since it opened!! you'll love it too!

Love love love everything about this place!

I only wish I had my wife and kids with me. What an amazing place.

Celebrating our grandson’s 7th birthday!! The food and service far exceeded our expectation.

Samantha and Brandon were the best servers I have ever encountered. They deserve to run the place

You can't beat this quintessential So. Cal location. The food was very good and the service by Maximilian was five star.

Fantastic as always!

We love the beignets!! The view of the beach is incredible. It’s our family tradition every year we come from Utah.

Great meal with my family

The food is excellent! My husband and I stayed at the cottages and we had dinner and breakfast here. Both meals were amazing.

The service was good, but our waitress didn’t get us water regularly.

The location is incredible!

Love the sunset on the beach surrounded by the ambiance of the raising and lowering of "the flag"

Excellent drinks, dinner options & desserts!

Any time we camp at Crystal Cove-Laguna Beach, we make it a mission to come to the beachcombers cafe! We love it!

The food is consistently delicious. We had a lovely view of the sunset; it was quite romantic.

Great Restaurant week

Oscar did a great job as always. The ham was very thin and I prefer it cooked less. Everything else was wonderful and we enjoyed our breakfast.

Peaceful setting, delicious food. One time fantastic service, another time good service.

The parking is a little inconvenient as you have to park across PCH and take a $3 each way shuttle to the other side and walk the short distance to the restaurant. Later, you will have to pay for using the parking lot but the restaurant will validate. They will not seat you until your whole party is there, even though you have a reservation. Food was pretty good and so was the service, a little pricey for what we got but not too bad. After dining, walking onto the sand and enjoying the ocean view was spectacular on this sunny day.

Outstanding service and food.

Food around the table was exceptional...we were very impressed! We've visited this restaurant many times over the years and since we stayed at the cove this time had breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All exceeded our expectations.
