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!

Jake gave us the best customer service ever experienced. He was extremely kind and efficient. We traveled from Houston and are so happy to experience such kind and exceptional customer service.

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.

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.

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.

Incredible brunch options in a great location. Something on the menu for everyone - including vegetarians and vegans!

I had the Monte Cristo sandwich with an iced latte. Both were very good. We sat at a table where we could see the beach so the atmosphere was very good. The service was great, too.

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.
