Anastasia Cafe
460 Ocean Ave, Laguna Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Anastasia Cafe is a sun-drenched Laguna Beach gem where everything is made fresh in-house, from their standout pesto chicken sandwich to perfectly poached eggs that arrive balanced and genuinely satisfying. The intimate space—complete with a boutique attached and inviting outdoor seating—feels like a local's secret, where you order at the counter and settle in for a leisurely breakfast or lunch that rewards lingering. It's the kind of place where attentive service and thoughtful, original menu items make you want to return every time you're in the area.”

Anastasia is an easy yes when you want something clean, balanced, and genuinely satisfying. I ordered the Greek salad with grilled chicken and a side of vegetables, plus two poached eggs and extra egg whites. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, not greasy, lots of crunch, and the kind of meal that leaves you energized instead of weighed down. You can tell the ingredients are treated simply and with care. The ambience is relaxed and bright, very Laguna, and the service is quick without feeling rushed. It’s an ideal spot for a casual breakfast or lunch, especially if you’re coming from the beach or running errands nearby. Super convenient location, consistent food, and a menu that makes eating well feel effortless. More on social media: @ratedbymaryam

Wow What a experience enrique and Victor ! Pleasant to work with Best service like 5 star hotels
Beautiful spot to sit down and have lunch. Everything is made in house, fresh and delicious. Pesto chicken sandwich was fire 🔥 Would definitely return the next time in the area.
A nice small café with a boutique attached. It felt to me like an original breakfast place with unique menu items. Your order at the counter where you can also see the daily specials, and then you sit where you want. The food actually came pretty fast. The hot chocolate was nice - it wasn’t too thick and didn’t seem over sweet. The foam was actually nice to have! There is an effort in presentation as you can see from the pictures. We all liked it. I tried a bit of the swedish pancakes, it is very sweet and heavy as you can expect, but enjoyable! The Eggs Anna were definitely original with that sauce. It was very interesting. I’m not gonna say it’s the best thing I ever had, but it was good. It was farmers’ market, but we didn’t struggle to find a place to sit. For parking, you need to find in the city - but, the place is not far from the main areas, so convenient. You just walk a few blocks. Overall, a cool spot - we were not sure where to go and wanted a more local place. So, I guess we found it!
