Crema's Take

Tucked into a charming alley just steps from Laguna Beach, Wild Strawberry Café transforms a beloved local space into a cozy creative haven with peek-a-boo ocean views and shaded outdoor seating perfect for lingering. Their signature strawberry matcha has earned devoted fans, while inventive drinks like the aptly-named Cherry Bomb showcase their playful approach to specialty beverages alongside thoughtfully curated pastries and light fare. Friendly baristas like Milan create an atmosphere so welcoming that visitors naturally drift in before beach trips and return as regulars.

We recently visited the restaurant and overall had a pleasant experience. The atmosphere is welcoming and well maintained, creating a comfortable environment to enjoy a meal. One of the highlights was the service — the staff was extremely attentive, friendly, and clearly focused on providing good customer care. However, when it comes to the breakfast, I was expecting something a bit more distinctive. I ordered the omelet and while it was properly prepared, I didn’t find anything particularly special about it. It was good, but it felt similar to omelets served in many other places. The pricing is fair, which is definitely a positive point. That said, I believe the restaurant has the potential to go further. It could benefit from developing a more unique breakfast menu — perhaps through more creative seasoning, a more refined presentation, or a distinctive way of plating the dishes. Small details like these can transform a simple dish into something memorable. The reason I didn’t give a 5-star rating is precisely because I was hoping to experience something that would truly set the restaurant apart. The atmosphere and service are excellent; now it just needs that extra culinary identity to stand out from other places.

Everything here is pretty perfect. The delicious, creative, reasonably priced, well selected array of food choices. Some items are to die for, like the decadent Cherry Bomb, aptly named. Best of all, the consummate, professional but casual fun service and management, from owner Melina to equally friendly and beautiful servers like Kirstin. The total ambiance, convenient location, and all the wonderful customers who’ve this a home away from home, like me after tennis. People are so welcoming here and bring your dog friends too. And awesome coffee and teas

Wild Strawberry Cafe is easily one of my favorites. I love the strawberry matcha it’s hands down my go-to every time. Milan is always so friendly and makes the experience even better. The pastries are amazing, especially the Nutella crêpe, and the breakfast burritos are absolutely delicious. The environment is the best a small, cozy café with the perfect vibe for a relaxed morning or a cute little date. Highly recommend checking it out!

Went yesterday before me and my boyfriend hit the beach and it was delicious, it’s beautifully decorated, and the staff were so nice! Seemed like they were training someone, didn’t mind at all they were so kind to her teaching her how things work. We got the strawberry matcha & the Nutella coffee ☺️

Atmosphere: Such a great use of the old Koffee Klatch space. Free WiFi, about 5–6 cozy two-top tables inside, & plenty of shaded outdoor seating tucked in the little alley with peek-a-boo beach views. Laid-back & beachy..perfect for sipping, people-watching, or opening the laptop to get a little work done. Menu: A little something for everyone..breakfast items, baked goods, sandwiches & wraps, salads, coffees, matchas, & smoothies. The half sandwich or wrap with half salad combo sounded like a great deal at $15, with plenty of fresh, vibrant ingredients that actually make you want to order a salad. Drinks: • Iced Strawberry Matcha (x2): Absolutely delicious, refreshing, and balanced. • Arnold Palmer: Perfectly tart but still full of tea flavor — they nailed that balance that’s often hard to get right. • Iced Unsweetened Black Peach Tea: Just as it sounds — clean, crisp, and wonderful. Service: Friendly, efficient, & easygoing. Drinks came out quickly and were beautifully presented. Value: Very fair pricing considering the quality, beachside location, & ambiance. The $15 half-and-half combo feels like an excellent deal for the area. Parking: Street parking by meter..typically easy to find a spot nearby.
