North End Caffe

I had a fantastic experience at North End Caffe! The standout for me was the spectacular potatoes—they were crispy, golden, and seasoned to perfection. The strawberry pancake was also incredible, with fresh berries and a light, fluffy texture. The service, especially from Nacho, was exceptional; he was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. It was clear that all the guests were being well taken care of. The café also has a beautiful view and a cozy atmosphere that made the experience even more enjoyable. We will definitely be returning!

Local haunt, casual and fun. Great food- Mexican options as well as American. Wicked hot sauces and coffees are great.

Very nice staff. Food was delicious. Chorizo, potato, and fried egg tacos. Great environment. Dog friendly. I would return.

What a vibe. Grom’s menu is for anyone, technically, as long as you accept you’re a grom. Double burrito, solid. Wish I went vegetarian.

I do not recommend it!!!!, food is awful 😖. No condiments or service. They have no clue what or how a restaurant is run. Sorry, guy, you are wrong on this one. Please 🙏 don't waste your time on this place. 3 other breakfast spots next to this place look more promising, FYI while I was waiting for the disappointment i noticed produce and meat in a truck that wasn't refrigerated but slowly (duration was about 45min when i noticed it) made into the restaurant on a nice hot day....

What a lovely cafe!! I love that they have half sizes for their bowls because the portions are huge!! Too big for a tiny gal like me so i appreciated that haha. Had the shinto salad and it was delicious. Their fries were also surprisingly good. Service was very friendly and prompt. Will definitely come back.

Popular neighborhood joint, perfect for those looking for a large breakfast. Celebrities seem to like it, my family enjoyed the food but personally, I did not. Could have been what I ordered perhaps… Expensive. What I ordered was too cheesy, didn’t feel healthy. But if you are into some Mexican flavors and okay with eggs, you may have a great time here… gets busy.

Kaluah pork eggrolls changed my life! Detoured on a 14 day 5k mile road trip just to share them with my father!

Huevos Divorciados (this is HALF of the full order, I split with my husband and they brought them out on two separate plates ) Grilled corn tortillas, bacon, sausage, cheddar and jalapeno pepper jack, 2 eggs over easy topped with our salsa verde and red salsa, served with a side of potatoes. Potatoes look boring but were DELICIOUS. Not too spicy of a dish, full of flavor) would order again.

North End Café in El Porto, Manhattan Beach, is my absolute go-to spot for brunch or breakfast. It's an amazing spot that never disappoints! My favorite dish? The El Gringo, hands down. This perfect breakfast plate comes with delicious potatoes, eggs, sourdough toast, and crispy bacon. And let's not forget the amazing spicy sauce they drizzle over the breakfast potatoes--it's so good that you'll want to take a jar of it home! Their sandwiches and salads are also top-notch, making it hard to choose just one favorite. I'm eagerly looking forward to the day I can try their dinner menu--I've heard nothing but great things. Given how consistently amazing their food is, I have no doubt dinner will be just as fantastic. A fun fact: North End Café was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives! If you're a fan of the show, you know that means it's something special. The staff here is super friendly, and after a couple of visits, they'll definitely know who you are and even remember your usual order. They really value their locals, and it shows. North End Café is also a fantastic place to bring people when they are in town. Your guests will love the food as much as you do! In short, North End Café is a gem in Manhattan Beach. If you haven't been yet, make it your next brunch destination--you won't regret it!

I was craving chilaquiles and I was so hungry. Unfortunately what I received a bunch of old nacho chips with some guacamole slapped on it. They were severe with more carbs (potatoes) with a slap of what looks like thousand islands dressing. I feel like my 4 year old niece could have done a better job at making this at lease more presentable. I was Highly disappointed to say the least. Bathroom was a mess, no toilet paper etc. Who is run

Local legend Ryan Versfelt took me here for a meal. It's everything you want from a local spot. More importantly, I have to be honest with you it's the single best chicken wrap I've ever had in my life. Of course, since I was with the local guy he's a regular, and the wrap he ordered us was off the menu, But I guarantee anything you order there will be delicious. I also had a cappuccino made perfectly and I savored every second I was there. I'll definitely return to this little gem when I am in Manhattan Beach and I suggest you do the same

This review is just for the vanilla latte. The cafe is located in the corner near Manhattan Beach. You can't miss it because it's nice and bright and yellow. The customer service was super friendly and the barista was nice enough to allow me to record him. The vanilla latte is made with Ghiradelli chocolate which leaves a little nutty flavor but still very good.

Cute, local spot that has been around since before my mother was born. Ocean views and steps from the waves. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Order at the counter and pick your seat. Their menu is large, as my photos illustrate. I ordered the short ribs over mixed veggies and got some rice on the side. This was a savory and delicious dish! My short ribs are better, but this was still a delicious dish and I will try some of their other short rib dishes in the future. We also got some berries, which were like candy. North End Caesar with Salmon delish! Just an overall great spot for breakfast, lunch, etc., with EXCELLENT, attentive service, great food.

capri latte is my new favorite! omg sooo delicious! espresso, milk and lemon and some sugar. holy moly incredible! nice guys here and chill and kind. thanks boys for my new favorite coffee treat! another great reason to come support our local small business. yummm!! grazie- mas

I was in Manhattan beach for a few days and North End Cafe popped up on my search. This was probably the best breakfast I've had in the area and in So Cal. The burritos were so good and the potatoes were crispy. Paired with this crazy beautiful view right down to the water. Place is a must try and super friendly staff!

Try the Monte cristo rolls. Fast service and friendly. Can get a little cramped in there but they Also have outdoor seating, but why not just walk down to the beach.

This is the best breakfast burrito in the South Bay! There I said it, don't come for me. The flavor profile is exactly what you want out of a breakfast burrito and the filling is proportionate to the tortilla. Plus, there are 2 of them with breakfast potatoes. And the salsa verde is delicious! Everyone working there is super friendly and goes out of their way to make sure that you have everything you need. They have indoor seating and outdoor seating. And the tables outside to the right give you a peak a boo ocean view!

Cool little spot in Manhattan Beach. Wife, son, and I were actually going to try another spot next door and found that it was under construction. We were happy to find this spot and the menu had a lot of options for everyone. I went with the breakfast tacos, but with flour tortillas, my wife got a jam and brie sandwich, and my son got a side of egg and avocado. Portion sizes are pretty generous, which is always a plus in my book. I really enjoyed the tacos, and the side of potatoes that came with them was a hit with everyone. Just wish they included more of the delicious sauce that comes on top of the potatoes. Not much seating, but they have a few tables indoor and outdoor. Service was pretty quick, and the guy at the register was friendly. Parking is always a pain around that area, but we found a spot a few blocks up the hill and walked down. Overall agood a experience and I would probably want to try their breakfast burritos next time I'm in the area. Check it out, and hope you enjoy!

Overpriced for what it is. Yeah you can come and act like your some beach local blah blah blah. But it's way overpriced for what it is. Come take your picture for Instagram and buy a $7 water down coffee. Your social media validation will be worth it

A great spot for a pre beach meal if you decide to be that friend who decides to contribute ice to a beach get together because it be like that sometimes. My friend got to the beach at an ungodly time (7:30AM) to secure a spot with a fire pit. Meanwhile, I decided to have brunch at 2pm because Saturday. I don't hang out in this area so I put all trust on Yelp to find me a spot. This was at the very top of the list. I swear stars stay aligning for us. We pulled up right when a car had just left. The empty spot was literally right out front. And the meter still had a half hour left. Talk about a win. We both decided to start off with the bottomless mimosa. We did some math and realized it would be worth it as long as we had 2 drinks. My friend got a vegetarian sandwich situation and I got the huevos divorciados. Ioved what I ended up with. It was yummy and filling. The service was on point. The guy who waited on us looked like McSteamy's younger brother.

Not to be confused with North End Bar & Grill in Hermosa. Lol. The Huevos Divorciados was muy muy delicioso! Grilled corn tortillas with bacon, sausage, cheddar, jalapeño pepper jack, eggs over easy, mashed avocado, red & green salsa, with potatoes. What's there not to like? We also ordered a short rib breakfast which was "man-sized" enough for dinner! A little too "tomatoey" for me. Good coffee to try. Friendly service. Order and pay up front. Indoor dining or outdoor patio. Metered parking.

Staff is welcoming and attentive. Food is delicious. Breakfast tacos, chocolate pancakes, grilled potatoes, scrambled eggs - yummy. Both inside and outside seating. I'll definitely return.

This is a great little spot in Manhattan beach! We got the 3 hot dogs for $15.00 and it was a fantastic deal. The staff was friendly and the food was great. Overall, I totally recommend stopping in for a sandwich or a quick bite!

8/21/22 Had a late lunch here after flying from the East Coast. I had an Omelette platter which was fresh and delicious. Enjoyed the music and outside ambience of sitting and people watching in Manhattan Beach. Would return here.

The service was amazing and the food was great! I got the short rib hash, it was alright it wasn't what I thought it would be but next time I'll look at more pictures. I also got a side of pancakes (not in the picture) but they're very worth it I'd go back multiple times just for a stack!

Truly remarkable, every damn time. John is the best and the food is amazing. Perfect location to take in the beach before or after an excellent meal. Or both. We'll worth the drive from pretty much anywhere. The Kalua Pig Egg rolls, Honey Sriracha Fired Chicken and the Linguini Carbonara with Pancetta are unlike anything I've ever had. Great atmosphere, great prices and Excellent service top to bottom. You're missing out!

My wife and I have ordered lunch several times by now and we've enjoyed most of the items. Sandwiches including the Vaughn, Bolsa Chica, The Real Cubano, and Balboa Cheesesteak were all solid - ample size and flavors, just a little overpriced (low to mid 20s) for a sandwich. Most recently, we tried their Dos Burritos and Barton. While the former was forgettable with dry components and no integration, the Barton was easily the best thing we've had with its loads of brotein, creamy avocado and mild kick from some habanero salsa.

Always a pleasant experience here! The staff is always so nice and willing to accommodate you in anyway! They always make sure our satisfied and if you don't like something there's no hesitation to correct it! I asked for something from an older menu and they still offered to make it for me! Always fresh & filling meals!

A dive I expected, but lazy food? I ordered the Sonoma Toast. Sounds lovely doesn't it? Don't be fooled. Two impossibly thin slices of brie drowning in raspberry jam between two slices of white toast, served with your basic scrambled eggs. Reminded me of Kindergarten jelly sandwiches. The meal earned one star but the coffee was decent and who doesn't love a visual homage to Guy Fieri (even if it didn't taste like Flavortown) ?Bonus star for the guy walking his pot belly pig past the cafe. Gotta love free, surprise entertainment.

We were in the area this weekend and decided to try a Guy Fieri DDD recommendation. We parked in the parking garage down the street...$4.00 for 2 hours. It was just enough time to eat and walk along the strand. We arrived around 11:45am and there was only one person in line. I got the pastrami sandwich and hubby got hot dogs. I don't recall the name of the guy who brought us our food, but he was awesome. Great sense of humor and very personable. My pastrami sandwich was great and hubby said his dogs were good. I really liked their french fries especially with a side of ranch, which is how it was brought out. Mind readers... We will be back.

The blueberry pancakes were extremely fresh and the chocolate chip pancakes were also well made. I ordered the the egg and mushroom Parker toast with potatoes and my husband ordered the Mancakes. The food came quickly and we sat outside in the front of the restaurant. The food was good and reasonably priced.

Service and are both five stars! The employees are all nice, and the food is delicious. We got the Short Rib Hash and the Bobbin Breakfast Sandwich on a bagel. If you like pesto, this breakfast sandwich is for you! Parking is a little hard but the food is worth the wait. We will be back!

Look for the yellow tent building for some delicious sandwiches in all types of styles, meats & veg options too. It may not look like much inside, but the food and hospitality is 5 star. You really get your moneys worth of food here. Sizes are good to share! Located in the corner of 35th and Highland.

Decided on this North End Caffe for a Friday morning breakfast with an ocean view, and it. was. delicious. The service staff were welcoming, and obvious fans of the caffe. I had the Huevos Divoricados and shared the Kalua pork Monte Cristo egg rolls (featured from that Diners, Drive-In's, and Dives tv show). The huevos comes with plenty of food to honestly share--- like a generous serving of seasoned house potatoes, and layers of breakfast meat (bacon and things), eggs, sauce on tortillas. I couldn't finish everything, so luckily it already came in a plastic to-go container. I was surprised about the pork egg rolls because it was a mix of savory and sweet? And the dipping sauce was sort of this trifecta that I couldn't quite place. I mean, definitely flavorful--- maybe I just wasn't prepared for it but it was still good! There is lots of street parking around, but it can just get tight since they are more narrow streets. I also like how this location is just a short walk to the beach... to help you not fall into food coma after devouring all the things they offer on this menu. Overall, wonderful. Would come back!

Blueberry pancakes- 5 stars El Gringo- 5 stars Bacon - 5 stars perfectly cooked. Potatoes- 5 stars well seasoned and crispy Seating area needs sprucing up.

Six stars for North End Caffe! Very convenient location in No Manhattan Beach. Not a large restaurant but the food is amazing and creative. The service was outstanding, the ingredients fresh and of the best quality. The staff was very helpful in making sure we had drinks promptly. The Mushroom Parker with brie is OUTSTANDING. We will definitely make this a go-to place - a New Favority!

This place is awesome with an amazing view! Great avocado toast and beignets!Beignets. Will definitely return often..............

Still the best restaurant in the entire South Bay. Creative food with large portions. Homemade everything. Recommend Gypsy Stew and the Cheese Pie. Nacho, Justin and Morgan go above and beyond to make you feel great and enjoy the food. I've gotten to go food. I call their number direct so they, being a local small restaurant, don't have to pay a big corporation like grub hub - support local business direct! I love their honey siracha fried chicken with mashed potatoes. Every months the specials change. I got chicken pesto pasta, hamburgers, salads - all so good.

Worst avocado toast ever!! Seems pretty easy to make a good avocado toast but not for these ppl here. They charged me $18 for slice of WHITE BREAD and SOME avocado spreed on it, I had to ask for more avocado, also no olive oil or seasoning

Always amazing service, food and view! You can tell the employees care about your experience and you will not be disappointed!

I have been eating here and taking to go for YEARS!! I now live in Oregon and every single trip back to MB requires at least one visit to North End ,, if not more !!! I have never ever been disappointed.

All I can say is-- wow! Got the huevos divorciado and short rib hash. Both were very flavorful. Huevos divorciado was a good blend of savoriness from bacon and sausages with the runny eggs and fresh salsa, and the short ribs in the hash were so tender! But the star of the show was the delicious latte- get the Medici and you will have no regrets. Orange zest in coffee with dark chocolate?! Say no more.

So I ordered again today and included a note to cook my sunny side up eggs well done. They arrived scrambled. Not what I asked for. I also asked if they could leave my condiments out of my food container and leave in bag. That request was honored. I also requested they do not send utensils or napkins. I just toss open utensils and napkins. I prefer my utensils and napkins wrapped securely to decrease of contamination. When people grab napkins and utensils with their hands I don't want to put my mouth on them if I have a choice ...which I did but they sent them anyway. Unfortunately I'll be tossing them and they wasted their resources. But what I'm mostly upset about is my chai that almost burned my hand. There's no cup sleeve to protect my hands. That's odd because I'm the past week I've ordered several times and ALWAYS received a cup sleeve. Interesting... Also my pancakes are BURNED. I feel like I should call for a refund. But I am not. I'll just stop ordering. It's obvious they don't want my business. Why should I disappoint them. I'm super disappointed though. I really wanted to make them my regulars for breakfast.

Doesn't look like much when I walked and parked there, and than started talking to Justin and his persona and character is where it's at. For the IPA's to the coffee to the fried chicken. I highly recommend this place. There was 7 of us and the bill wasn't bad at all !!

Enjoy brunch here. My favorite are the potatoes, they are so crispy! Also love the Jones coffee (roasted in Pasadena). Have also enjoyed the bottomless mimosas.

Outstanding breakfast place. The gentleman running the place was so friendly and kind. Food was outstanding. Breakfast sandos were huge. Excellent coffee. A perfect neighborhood spot.

Solid place to stop by if you're in the area! Decent food options and the kindest staff. I was also a little turned off by the political signs, and waffled between 3-4 stars, but the food is genuinely good and worth the stop! Special thanks to the reviews that told us to get the breakfast potatoes because they were the best part!

Come hungry, leave happy!! I've only been here once, but based on my experience, I feel like anything you order here will be delicious! It took me a while to decide what to eat, but ultimately, I landed on the Mushrooms Parker, which was so delicious. It comes with good quality and a good amount of mushrooms over a nice slice of ciabatta bread, and you get a decent side of mixed greens (arugula salad) to add to the open faced sandwich. We ordered Chilaquiles with chicken, which were also delicious and paired well with the mushrooms parker. I would definitely recommend sharing plates with someone if you're able to. To add to our delicious brekkie brunch meal, we were blessed to try their beignets! They are a must try if you like sweet treats and churros/donuts, you'll love their beignets (try to eat them while they're warm). Lastly, the Tiger Chai Latté is sooo delish, perfect amount of chai, and the vanilla latté is good if you like strong coffee. Overall, definitely a place to experience, but make sure to give yourself plenty of time to find metered parking on the street and try to pick a time that's not the rush hour for breakfast/lunch (I'm not sure what times that would be there ^.^). There was no wait on this Friday around noon. Enjoy!! Also, I want to give a shout out to the gentleman who served us. I didn't catch his name, but he was very attentive,  and welcoming. He's a Hispanic man with a small mustache above his mouth. He made our experience more enjoyable and overheard us debating on whether or not to order our beignets and gave us a complimentary plate to try, and we were so excited about it. Thank you, kind man! "FAMES OPTIMUM CONDIMENTUM Hunger is the best seasoning."

My boyfriend and I are big fans of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives so we decided to go here while we were in the area! We've been there twice and both times were awesome food experiences. Both times we went, our food tasted fresh and the customer service was impeccable. I'd recommend getting the Double BLT Wrap and the Trio of Dawgs! Can't wait to come back!

So original so delicious don't know why you would go anywhere else if you are in the area - I drive from Burbank just to go here. Justin the manager is the nicest guy. I recommend to anyone

North End has become a Manhattan Beach staple over the last couple of years. It's expanded and grown, which shows how much people in the area like it. It's a great place to take out, or sit with an ocean view while having a great meal. Their menu is enormous! And every item is crafted with care with ingredients that are obviously fresh and quality. Fantastic sandwiches, highly recommend.

Having nothing but praise for Nacho and the entire staff of North End Cafe, who have done an incredible job during the pandemic. I'd also like to point out they have done everything to keep to the rules and still remain open for business. I appreciate and applaud everyone for doing such a great job!! Lastly-- their breakfasts and lattes are outstanding!!

Wow. This place is really great. Parking is a little diffcult to find but I got pretty lucky on a Sunday during President's Day Weekend driving around and found a spot right in front. You order up front and they bring your food to you. Water is served in a red solo cup like you're ready to party. The food is super delicious. My friends ordered the egg tacos and I ordered dof burritos. And we shared some beignets. The beignets were really tasty! I like the extra sweet flavor infused in the beignets. The breakfast burrito was so good. The bacon is so crispy, the sausage is delicious and it balances out the burrito flavor. I told them to put the suace on the side so I could save half of my food for another time. The cheese compliments the fluffy eggs. I was really satisfied with my meal and I really haven't had a breakfast burrito that tasted that good before. It was so simple and not heavy at all but filled me up and satisfied my appetite! This place was recommended to me by my friend and I'm glad he suggested this place! I've gone to a lot of brunch places before and this one was really great. Manhattan beach is also such a cute little beach town. I've always had a good time coming to this area.

Amazing burgers!!! Parking: I don't believe the restaurant has parking so you have to find parking in the street or park in the public parking lot that is not far away. Restaurant size: The restaurant itself its small for room for about 20 people. They have inside and outside seating. Food: I got the fuego burger and let me tell you it was fuego! (fire = delicious). The burger brought cheddar and pepper jack chesse, avocado, and some red salsa. Oh boy, the combination was so great that even though I was full I still was craving more of that burger. Will come back again to try other dishes

Stopped by this spot and quickly snagged a table outside on a busy Sunday morning. Our waiter was wearing a shirt that said Nacho and he was kind, helpful and funny. Everyone was covid conscience. Masks worn by all and plastic containers and cutlery to minimize the points of contact. The hubs got the eggs divorciado, i had the eggs from hell and the munchkin got the kids pancakes that came with eggs and sausage. To share we tried the egg rolls that were apparently made famous when Guy Fieri came to the restaurant on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. The food was amazing. Definitely met and exceeded all our expectations and the cherry on top was two slices of pumpkin bread the waiter gave us at the end for free. Will definitely return!
