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!

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!

North End Caffe is a great place with awesome food and a super nice guy working the counter. The prices are okay--not too high but not super cheap either. Their huevos divorciados are really tasty. Plus, it's in Manhattan Beach, which is a cute area, and you get a nice view of the water from the café. It's a local spot and feels very welcoming. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

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

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!

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.

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!
