Crema's Take

“Tucked in Laguna Beach, this independent spot excels at genuine hospitality—reviewers consistently praise staff like Lupita, Angel, and Andrew for making guests feel genuinely welcomed rather than just served. Their brunch menu shines with standout items like the Lighthouse Benedict featuring exceptional hollandaise, while the oceanside patio atmosphere draws crowds even on already-busy days, making it worth the occasional wait.”

It was beyond my expectations! The food quality was on par with Bayside Restaurant. I wasn’t a fan of the shrimp cocktail at first, but I still finished it—it had such an interesting and exciting flavor 😁. The building was beautiful, and the staff truly cared about their guests.
