Just a quick thankyou note, I came in at the end of your day today (2min before closing) after a long hospital visit, my day was rough, and you had no way of knowing that, but you still made me a last-minute burrito without any hesitation. Thanks for being excellent to everyone and making southern California's best breakfast burritos they are literally food for the soul.

This is a Cardiff staple. Such a great spot for coffee and breakfast. Definitely a locals spot, everyone knows everyone and is so friendly. The food is good, not bad. But not the best thing I've ever had. Just a simple generic breakfast place. I'd say it's the location and vibes that get people to really keep coming back. Ocean front view, Southern California weather in the cutest town.

Portions of food are large and satisfying. You definitely don't leave hungry! Customer service is friendly. Any place that lets me come in my favorite attire, shirtless, and barefoot, is my kind of jam. Keep doing your thing, Pipes Café!

We wandered by this cute beach-themed place on our recent getaway. You order at the counter and the man there was so kind and patient with us. He filled our coffee order and told us to come back for free refills, if we needed. We ordered the breakfast burrito #2, which was egg, bacon, potato and cheese. He asked if we wanted the hot sauce in the burrito or on the side. I found that very considerate. The burrito was huge, so I'm glad we shared it...delicious!. I can see why it's such a popular place-- we saw couples, families with kids, cute dogs and older people all enjoying breakfast together. What a wonderful world!

Fantastic place for breakfast quick service - don't let the line scare you great menu - pipes sandwich is a local staple this place will be here in 100 years serving the same awesome items - pipes potatoes - burgers are killer. i could go on.

Love this place. When I'm in this area I always come by. They have great food. I usually get a breakfast burrito. I've heard their cheeseburgers are amazing but I don't eat beef so I don't know. I ordered the tuna sandwich with lettuce added and it was tasty and filling. The service is friendly. It's a small surf shop vibe inside. There's an outdoor patio to catch some sunshine while you eat. They also have a coffee bar with a ton of choices. I definitely recommend you check it out. They also have cool merch. I may grab a hat for myself on the way out.

This is our first time as locals coming here and we were pleasantly surprised. It was packed with people but seemed that by the time we booked our order, tables opened up. The food was delicious and ample! We both orders scramblers and this is probably the first time I could not finish my meal. Overall clean place, great food, fair price, and fast service! My daughter wants me to post that the "bacon is great!"

Great local breakfast spot recommended by my Airbnb hosts. That was one of the biggest breakfast burritos I've had in a long time. And delicious too! I skipped lunch lol. Friendly people and a fun space with surfer decor. Lots of locals. The coffee was just ok. Everything else was amazing!
