TidePoole's

The girl I met today is suuuuper nice and friendly, the restaurant is very clean and fresh, close to the beach, and you must try the cedar club sandwich, my recommend, delicious🤌!

The food was fresh and delicious, served fast. The service was great and super friendly. We ate the green salad and an Italian sandwich.

Our favorite food is Charlie’s Sammy, the wedge salad, and a bottle of wine! One of our favorite local spots in Newport!

The breakfast burritos are amazing! A little pricey but definitely hit the spot. Looked like they had a lot of other food options as well.

Reviewed TidePoole’s on Yelp but throwing these guys some more love on Google. Really solid and excellent spot for sandwiches, burritos or whatever you’re in the mood for. Amazing bread, great service, just perfect sandwiches from a great family run team. Don’t miss TidePoole’s and make it one of your regular go-to’s you will not be disappointed. 5 stars all around.

Tide Pools in Huntington Beach is definitely more on the casual side, in the best way, easy, relaxed, and great for a no fuss meal. The cauliflower crust pizza was pretty good, crisp, flavorful, and satisfying. The Caesar salad and the avocado salad were both really nice, and the warm chicken on top made them feel like a real meal, not just a side situation. Biggest shoutout though is the service, genuinely excellent, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel smoother and more welcoming.

Newport Beach gem. Great breakfast burritos and sandwiches. A little pricy but worth it. Food came fast. Really great ownership here. Perfect spot to come after surfing early in the am.

Very good start for the day with Wakey Wakey Buritto (plain) and Avacado salad. Nice atmosphere with very friendly staff.. Ice cream is strongly suggested after the meal!

Really delicious food that’s relatively affordable for the area and generous portions. Great for take out or picnicking at the beach. Will come back!

ICE CREAM! Not only is it great after long day on the beach but the taste is out of this world, I got the milk caramel flavor it has streams of Carmel swirled through the ice cream with little caramel chocolates i definitely recommend. My girlfriend got the cookie dough in a waffle cone (btw they make them fresh daily) and the taste was so amazing you can taste and smell that they are fresh.

Went in the morning to pick up a new smoothie from tidepoole’s that I saw advertised in instagram. I ordered the mango cream wave and it was the bomb. Staff was phenomenal and very friendly, and the vibe of the place was top notch. I will definitely be going back to try some of their ice cream, because who doesn’t love ice cream and smoothies. Definitely a 10/10 experience

Had the pleasure of lunch here today. I don't give 5 stars often. This is a cool beach deli with chef inspired sandwiches. I ordered the club with apple wood smoked bacon. Delicious and yummy. I want to try other items on the menu

WOW! WHAT A SANDWICH! I got the Big Blake pastrami sandwich, and it's out of this world! I called in the order, and the lady who answered was SUPER nice! What a great place! I'll be back again and again!

FRESH. DELICIOUS. LOCAL. Tidepoole’s is the place to go in Newport / South Huntington Beach for delicious food made with fresh ingredients served by thoughtful staff. The owner & his mom are so kind & engaging with their customers. If you come before noon, highly recommend the wakey wakey breakfast burrito (best in Orange County). They have a good selection of gourmet pizzas, tasty deli sandwiches, fresh salads & appetizers. Our family of 9 really enjoyed the crispy brussel sprouts, Poole Boys pizza & the award winning Big Blake sandwich. Our older kids really enjoyed the scenic patio seating out back while my wife and I enjoyed the comfortable indoor seating. We will be back! Highly recommend Tidepoole’s if you’re in Orange County area.

Cute little place for a yummy dinner! We weren’t sure what to expect, but place was great. The service was by far some of the best we’ve ever had with an extremely friendly staff! They helped us choose what to order and were conversational and helpful throughout the evening. Food took a tad longer to come out than we were expecting, but it was worth the wait!

Steve Smith

Wow 🤩 We just one of the best Breakfast burrito ever. I think was called the Wakey wakey with sausage was BB perfection. After the first bite ......each of us said - ‘Ohh that crunch’. Hashbrowns inside were a fantastically crisp The sausage had was mild but gave it depth The combination of flavors was excellent. The tortilla was grilled - 👍 And the sauce was a little spicy like a salsa but creamy. Excellente!

🌊 So excited to see this location with a restaurant the locals can love. 🍕 We were greeted the second we walked in and given excellent service our entire meal. 🍺 We had a pepperoni pizza which was very good, a pastrami sandwich that I loved and ice cold beers. The restaurant has a great beach vibe, it's clean, and has a laid back atmosphere. #LOCALGUIDES #letsguide #googlelocalguides #hb #tidepools #womenwhoguide #huntingtonbeachcalifornia

The BEST breakfast burritos! We go out of our way to grab one when we drive from LA to SAN. You won’t be disappointed…get the Wakey Wakey burrito with bacon and guac on the side.

If you’re on vacation near the beach and wake up hungry, do yourself a favor and head over to TidePoole’s. This little spot sits right across from the ocean and operates on the kind of hours that make sense for vacationers, open at 8 a.m. and closing at 3 p.m. Perfect timing for a slow morning and a serious breakfast. While scanning the menu, one item kept jumping out at me: the Wakey Wakey Breakfast Burrito. It clearly had a reputation. The only hesitation? The price. At $17 for a single burrito, expectations get pretty high. At that price point, the burrito can’t just be good, it has to show up and perform like an Allstar. Luckily, this burrito absolutely delivered! I ordered for a family of six, which turned out to be a strategic move because it allowed me to sample a few different versions. First up was the bacon breakfast burrito, which was fantastic: flavorful, hearty, and easily a solid four star burrito on its own. Then I tried the sausage version… and BAM! Somehow it was even better. At that point, I thought I had already reached the peak of breakfast burrito greatness. Five star territory achieved. Case closed. Or so I thought. Then came the chorizo breakfast burrito and let me tell you. This thing was on another level entirely. If the bacon was great and the sausage was excellent, the chorizo was a slice of breakfast heaven wrapped in a tortilla. It completely stole the show. And that’s not a knock on the others, they were legitimately great but the chorizo version was just that much better. Another bonus: these burritos are huge. Realistically, one burrito could easily feed two people unless you’re particularly ambitious or exceptionally hungry after a sunrise beach walk. The salsa served with the burritos was also excellent and paired perfectly with everything. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can ask for additional sauces as well to customize the experience. So yes, $17 for a burrito might initially make you pause, but in this case the gamble paid off especially if you go with the chorizo. Between the portion size, the flavor, and the beachside setting, it ends up feeling like money well spent. Bottom line: If you find yourself near the beach in the morning and want a breakfast that lives up to the hype, TidePoole’s Wakey Wakey Breakfast Burrito is absolutely worth the stop. Just one warning: You may walk in thinking you’ll share a burrito… and walk out wishing you had ordered another. 🌯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve had a lot of great breakfast burritos. This one is undoubtedly top 3! Maybe top 2. Maybe even #1. This burrito was out of this world.

Got a breakfast burrito here and it was really good, huge actually and it came with a tasty salsa. The atmosphere is great; very clean, bright, and happy.

My experience at TidePooles was satisfying, ordering the sunrise breakfast burrito. A friend of mine was with me who brought a dog, and we were able to sit in their back patio area. The patio is a bit underwhelming with kid like seating, uncomfortable picnic style tables albeit it fake grass was a hit for the dog so there's that. The food made up for its patio decor, which I would have to say, was one of the best burritos I've had in a long time. Very clean and not overdone with cheese, the guacamole and hashbrowns were the perfect blend. You can tell alot about a place when you take a look at their bathroom which was well maintained and large. I'll be going back soon, for the food not the bathroom.

50 minutes and counting for 1 burrito to go. I watched everyone in front of me get their food before me. They weren’t even very busy when I got there and ordered. Unbelievable for the price the burrito is honestly…
