Le Cafe de la Plage Malibu
29169 Heathercliff Rd #112, Malibu, CA
Crema's Take
“This beachside independent roaster wins loyal devotees with its genuinely excellent coffee and thoughtfully prepared pastries, from buttery croissants to gluten-free options that actually taste good. The real magic is the scene—grab a seat overlooking Malibu and you'll understand why regulars drive hours just to be here, though fair warning that prices run steep and the tight parking requires patience. Service tends to be genuinely friendly when things go smoothly, though quality can be inconsistent, so your experience might range from "worth the drive" to "surprisingly disappointing for the cost."”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Got the gluten free lemon cake, it was really good. Server was really nice. Location is cool, parking is tight.
For a $30 breakfast, it was unremarkable. I got the eggs, lox, and salad on a brioche bun. None of it was seasoned, didn’t even taste like there was salt. Super overpriced. Coffee nothing special either, I had higher expectations! The staff was super kind though.
Grab an outdoor table, order a croissant, a scone or an avocado toast (yes, it’s that good), and watch Malibu’s most relaxed crowd debate whether this counts as breakfast, lunch, or a lifestyle choice. The pastries are dangerously French — you’ll promise to share and instantly…
