Crema's Take

Nestled right on the water in Huntington Beach, Kathy May's Lakeview Cafe delivers a serene lakeside experience where you can watch birds and horses while enjoying thoughtfully prepared breakfast and brunch—think fluffy omelets, surprisingly excellent biscuits, and cinnamon rolls worth the trip. The genuinely warm service and dog-friendly patio create the kind of peaceful, unhurried atmosphere that makes a simple meal feel like a proper retreat, even if you're just steps away from the city.

This is a wonderful restaurant with a beautiful outdoor setting that makes breakfast or lunch extra special. You can enjoy the peaceful lake views, watch the birds, and even see the horses while enjoying a well-prepared meal. The location is relaxing and scenic, truly a hidden gem by the water. The food is delicious and nicely presented, and although service can be a bit slow, it gives our family time to unwind and enjoy being together. We love that it’s just a short walk to the library, which makes it a perfect family outing. With great service, plenty of parking, and a gorgeous setting, it’s an ideal spot for a laid-back meal.

Really enjoyed every minute at the restaurant. No wait, great lakeside location. CA Omelette was delicious and the biscuits were an unexpected treat. Tony gave the entire room excellent service. Finally, the prices were actually affordable! Highly recommend!!

Beautiful view of the lake with such friendly service! The food was standard. Breakfast had quite a few filling options and some yummy sweet treat selections as well. If you love cinnamon rolls this is the place for you. If you like to have a balanced breakfast Kath Mays has you covered on that too! Only thing to be mindful of: there are no latte options here, just regular coffee.

This is a lovely place to sit outside beside the lake. Very dog friendly and the sound of birds singing is all around. We came here for a late Sunday brunch. I had the Mexicala omelette with hash browns, which was very good. My wife had the surgery pancakes, hash browns and scrambled egg. Too much food, but I saved her embarrassment and finished it all off. The whole-wheat pancakes were excellent, light and fluffy. Very busy when we got there after 11am. I would suggest earlier than that if you don't want it as busy. We didn't have to wait for a table though and the servers appeared very able to cope with the load. A local bald eagle came and sat in one of the trees almost all of the time we were there. A lot of people seemed surprised, but it is a regular visitor. Once you've eaten your food, there is a whole loop of the park that you can use to walk it off.
