We love Seaside Cafe! Food is always excellent. The service is great & friendly each visit. We come here each time we stop in Pismo Beach/Shell Beach area. The outdoor eating space is comfortable, beautiful with umbrellas & outdoir heaters, interesting art work, potted plants & flowers; its a bit small...don't expect to bringing your baby stroller in here.

We stopped here for lunch and chai. Both were very good and the place is very cute. They had a pretty good sandwich menu and breakfast menu. The service was good as well.

They were planning on renovating the kitchen, so they only had coffee, pastries, and salads, which was extremely disappointing. We were hoping to have their eggs benedict, which is AWESOME.

Good coffee, and a time travel trip to conversations of massage, aroma therapy, and ... lice? (yes, someone was talking loudly of lice cures).

Maybe the problem was that we went here on a Saturday morning and they were somewhat busy, but after ordering fairly quickly we ended up waiting over an hour for our food to arrive...and it was not worth the wait. My wife's breakfast burrito contained sweet potatoes that were barely cooked. Should have sent it back but after waiting as... More

Very interesting and homey looking place with the menu on a chalkboard. Asked if there was any sort of kids menu and my intelligence seemed questioned at such a ridiculous request....so, If they like $12 french toast (ish) bread with cake icing on it for breakfast, then this place is for you, my kids didnt like it. (I tried it... More

I'm not sure if any of you watch the show, Best Thing I Ever Ate, but if you put me on that show and the theme was breakfast, this place would be a serious contender. I had a Eggs benedict from here that was incredible. Served on freshly baked english muffins, the ham is glazed to perfection and also appears... More

BAD SERVICE!! Tim was rude & got our order wrong and no apology was offered. We were treated like it was an inconvenience for us to be there giving them business! We are in a recession but obviously Seaside doesn't seem to care! Will not go back, go 1 block down to Steaming Bean!!!
