A really fun place blocks from the beach. A great selection of amazing food, from traditional breakfast and burgers to the latest trends of buddha type bowls and avacado toast, all of it delicious. Bright sunny space with very friendly staff and decent pricing. Certainly a necessary neighborhood stop!

Great food at a decent price. The mimosas are great and I recommend you do the bottomless. There is a one hour time limit but they aren't stingy. You can ask for refills as often as you'd like. I recommend parking in the structure down the street (north) as it's a short walk and street parking can be difficult. The service here is quick, attentive, and helpful. Definitely worth the visit and something I'd come back to in the area. Go for the full English and you won't be disappointed. The fried bread is a delicious sourdough that you can't go wrong with. My friend got a tuna melt that looked amazing. Good vibes and cozy. Great place for brunch.

Perfect casual brunch and lunch spot close to the water. We got the mahi mahi tacos and the wild burger, both were absolutely delicious. Staff were really friendly and brought our puppy a big bowl water. We will definitely be back!

Delicious pancakes. The chicken sandwich was succulent too. The atmosphere had a beach/progressive power move vibe. It felt like community movers and shakers were coming and going all day. Step outside and you've got a gorgeous view of the famous Manhattan Beach.

We visited Cafe Wild on a Saturday morning just around the time the opened. Even at 8am the line of people was starting to form behind us. it’s always a good sign when there is a line for a restaurant in my opinion. Upon entering we were greeted warmly and promptly by the staff behind the counter. Please note that you order and pay first at the counter. They friendly staff will then bring you your delicious meal to your seat. Regardless if you’re inside or seated outside. On this this visit we went with the “Tiramisu French Toast” and the “Full English Breakfast”. Let me tell you both meals were outstanding! The French Toast was sweet but not over sweet and adding the tiramisu was a great touch. Now parking in this area can be tricky! Street parking fills up fast, and the public garage about a block away fills up even faster. So being right off the beach give yourself time to circle around a few time to find a spot. Street parking and the garage are metered. Free street parking is a bit further away, and a bit harder to find. So yourself a favor and take a stroll on the Strand by the ocean afterwards and enjoy the fresh ocean air. It’s only a block or two away. We can’t wait to go back.

This is a great spot to grab a bite to eat while visiting the beach. My dish, breakfast tacos, was really good and the service here is great. All of the staff was very helpful, attentive, and accommodating. I definitely recommend it!

What a perfect brunch spot! Dine in or out, but I suggest out. Staff is fantastic, and food is absolutely delicious. We were lucky to not have to wait for seating but it does back up, and understandably so! They serve La Colombe here as well!

Cute and (very) casual beachy café a few block from the ocean. They have a great menu with some fun options. They have you order your food at the desk inside. There was a short line when we arrived. Staff was friendly. Food was delivered to our table fairly quickly. The food was absolutely delicious and my mimosa (served in a paper cup) was surprisingly still very good! I guess you don't need a fancy glass. They have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Depending on my mood, I would be happy to return.

The food quality is incredible! Everything we ordered was delicious. A little on the pricer side but so worth it. We've been 2 times on our trip and will make a point to visit again.

The staff is energetic, friendly, and clearly here to do a great job. The Food was delicious. The espresso is smooth with chocolate and slightly bitter notes. The view from the side tables to the ocean are perfect. I'll definitely come back.

Downtown Manhattan Beach great location. The guy behind the counter was amazing very . The food was great definitely recommend

Stopped by at Cafe Wild for a friend’s birthday. The first thing that stood out to me was how friendly and helpful the staff are. The food and drinks are good quality, the service is quick, and the prices are reasonable. I definitely recommend this cafe for brunch or lunch.

Best breakfast Ive had since coming to this beach! That muffin was soo good you wouldn't believe it was vegan!! The barista had such great energy, can't wait to go back

We come here for breakfast anytime we are visiting the area. The staff is super friendly and helpful! The food is always great. Love this place.

Wild Cafe is a hidden gem with a warm, local vibe that makes you feel right at home. Their gluten-free options are impressive—not just available, but actually delicious. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. On top of that, the service is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A must-visit spot whether you’re gluten-free or just looking for a great meal in a laid-back setting.

Nice brunch spot within walking distance of Manhattan beach. Parking will be a challenge. The service is quick with first come first seating- you order & pay inside first and then find a table. We enjoyed outside seating. They have a pretty good menu variety. I really enjoyed the veggie hash- it tasted fresh with a great mix of veggies (including sweet potato, bell peppers, and kale) and quinoa. I also ordered an iced chai latte with almond milk which was just alright. Food was served on paper plates. Total for veggie hash + latte = $23. This is a great spot to visit if you plan to walk alongside the beach for a little bit (because parking will be worth it).

Delicious breakfast food and a great vibe. Love the outdoor seating. Parking can be tough but there’s a structure nearby. A bit on the expensive side but given the local it’s expected.

Great place for a quick bite and a cup of coffee. A bit pricy but likely normal for CA and a beach area breakfast place. Service was friendly but a bit slow but it’s made to order so no worries…it’s all good! VictorB

What you would assume to be a cute little beach cafe with healthy food and decent flavor is unfortunately failing on most levels Service was what you’d expect, a nice guy at the front asking you what you’d like with the systematic 15/20/25% tip (even though I’ve been served on a plastic plate). Breakfast burrito was probably the worst burrito I’ve ever had. Frozen grocery store burritos have better flavor and likely healthier than this. Raw bell peppers overwhelm and pretty sure I tasted mayonnaise. Salsa was flavorless (so I tried some ketchup to give it some flavor). Potatoes come with the dish I’m pretty sure they’ve been sitting under a light for the past hour to stay warm (no crunch or flavor here either). $26.45 for a burrito and a black coffee. How does this place have a 4.6?? Anyone who is speaking positively about this place 1. Doesn’t know food. 2. Might be getting paid to review.
