Best place to have breakfast. Lots of choices. Reasonably priced. You can sit inside or out! We only eat Breakfast here and have been coming every year since 2004! Love Malia and her staff !
I've been coming to OCMD since 2006 and when I tell you that this breakfast place has some of the best food I've tasted, it's no joke! If you're here looking for what to eat, let this review be a sign : take the (fresh) crab omelet and the chicken waffle!! Also, thank you so much to our server who was incredibly kind to answer our questions about what to do in a hurricane! - Kindly, the only canadians eating outside during Erin! We'll be back!
The food was delicious. We had build your own omelets and hash browns. Decor is very cute with murals on all the walls. Wait staff was friendly, and we were served promptly.
A lovely OC gem. This is the third breakfast spot we’ve tried down here and one we will absolutely return to. Staff were kind and attentive. Vibe is cute. Coffee is strong (in a good way!). We had the huevos rancheros – super delicious. We also had strawberry pancakes that were excellent. Eggs and home fries were cooked to perfection. Fresh fruit bowl was elevated with a nice mix of fruits – more variety than what you get at a typical breakfast spot. Can’t wait to come back!
We ate two breakfasts there. First day, I think our server was Malia! She was EXCELLENT. Wrote down nothing. Remembered everything. Food was delicious - pix are of the Health Nut French Toast and the large fruit cup. We also had delicious smoothies made w real fruit and loved the steak and eggs and the Almond Joy pancakes. One tip for diners / suggestion for owners: When the (I don’t wanna say older but can’t think of another way to say it) guy is at the host stand, he’s actually a deterrent to business. He’s not unfriendly, but he’s actually not good at the host job. We sat outside right by the entrance and watched him tell probably 10 different parties of two or four people that it would be a 20min wait and then launch into a defensive explanation about how it’s a busy day and they should have gotten there earlier. We saw at least a few parties just leave. The thing is - it was NEVER a 20min wait while we were there. He told us the same thing when we arrived and we were seated in less than five min. As was just about about every other party that arrived during our meal - including a party of 11! He also had a girl there write names on a list if there were a few parties waiting, but then forget to check the list and just give tables to the next people. We saw that happen at least twice. He also changed the wait staff sections in the middle of our meal, which seemed to confuse some servers and have them with tables all over the place. I honestly think he’s a nice guy but maybe this could be a gentle suggestion to greet people w a more welcoming vibe. And be open to being trained to be better at using a wait list and estimating wait times! Breakfast turns over pretty quick. “We’re so glad you’re here. We’re thrilled to be so busy. Wait time is likely to be 5-10min. We’ll get you seated as soon as we can.”
The chipped beef gravy omelette was incredible the delicious and tasty omelette I’ve ever had! Coffee was superb! I’m very particular about my coffee and chipped beef gravy,this place the flavor was top notch! Abby was a fabulous server,very on top of everything our drinks and accommodating. We enjoyed the outdoors seating and the morning breeze.
One of our favorite breakfast spots, and always a must do whenever we’re in OCMD. We’ve been coming to Malia’s for years and honestly the only problem ever is deciding what to order. My husband is a huge fan of their oatmeal and we love having the variety of options for sides. I really like their grits, and always add a sprinkle of cheese. Omelets are always super fresh, love the rye toast and their specialty items are a must try, too! We’ve eaten inside, outside, as a couple and with our kids…service is always fantastic. The owner is great, very welcoming and the kind of guy who makes you feel at home in his cafe. A nice little extra is every time after we pay, they always offer a coffee or refill of a drink to go, just another special touch. The location is sweet, just off the boards, staff is wonderful and food always delicious! We’ve enjoyed so many different items off the menu over the years and everything has always been fresh & delicious. And, bonus, if you aren’t within walking distance there are several free parking spots available right outside. Can’t wait to be back again!!
Best breakfast on the OC boardwalk. Dog friendly🐾🐾 Olive and Violet enjoyed the bacon!! Will walk the distance for the bacon- so sweet!
I have so many compliments to share! The servers are all so friendly, smiling and welcoming. The food is fresh and delicious. Fruit bowls have high quality, ripe fruit. No big hunks of tasteless honeydew. The bacon is cooked perfectly and delicious flavor. My family had breakfast here twice during the busy airshow weekend. Thank you for everything!
Went to Malia's Cafe with my family and had a great experience. The food was good, the service was friendly, and the location close to the beach made it even better. We'd definitely go back!
