Seaside Catering & Cafe

Fantastic! I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs! I called them — I goggled 10 best caterers in Newport Beach and their name popped up — at the last minute to cater a dinner for me… I had never used them before. They were more than happy to help and cater the food for my event. My guests declared it one of the best meals that they have ever had! Everything was delicious! Teri was wonderful to work with too. Definitely call them for your next event, you’ll be happy that you did. (They can do full service catering or just drop off the food for you to serve.)

Love this place! Friendly neighborhood place. Super comfortable place to have lunch. Lots of regulars. Great food and specials every day.

What a gem!!!
I’ve driven past here several times
and I finally stopped in for a bite.
The service here was wonderful
and the food was really tasty.

Been driving by this place for a while now everyday to and from work and finally decided to order one of their weekly specials through their online order feature.
I had the chicken burger w/​fried egg on top and my food was awesome! The gentleman who was running the café gave me a small apple pie as a token of his appreciation of my business and as a first time customer treat. It was a really nice gesture and I will for sure be back to support this awesome spot. Ill be spreading the word as well!

Came across this spot by accident as I was walking home. They make their own bread and it’s quite delicious! They’re very generous with the ingredients which are fresh. I had a turkey sandwich with bacon on honey wheat. Their freshly baked bread is great! The bacon was crispy and complimented the sandwich quite well! Glad I came across this hidden gem.

i eat here about 3 times per week. i like it very much. i like supporting non-​chain mom and pop businesses that care and make good food. the menu of specials is always changing and the selections are always good. they also cater and we use this service for our business 3 nights a week when our staff works late.

Working in a surgical center sometimes you get bored of the «hospital» food. I came across this cute little café. At first the setting attracted me but then I tried the food and oh my god. #newfavoriteplace

Authentic. Affordable. Delicious.
The Daily Specials are where it’s at! (Especially the Meatloaf and the Burgers)!

Great service and excellent food. Located in a nice quiet tucked away location. I got the Wednesday burger special and it was to die for!

Yummy lunch special today. Great value! Excellent presentation. Service with a personal touch. Never disappointed.

Horrible ordered a sandwich still waiting its been 15 minutes how long does it take to make a sandwich. And now smell something burning hope it’s not my food. Won’t be coming back here again

Really disappointed. $ 12 for a sandwich that was lacking. I paid $ 3 extra for roast beef and sprouts, and I got 2 slices of beef and a pinch of spouts. Wasn’t asked if I wanted toasted, and it wasn’t. Two tiny slices of roma tomatoes, and slivers of red onion, not a single ring. Got the spine of romaine not a leaf. Didn’t even cut the sandwich in half. Kinda lazy. Working in restaurants for 20 years and being a former chef, I’m gonna say lazy. Cute little place, but I won’t remember cause I won’t be back. The sandwich at the place across the street was 4 dollars cheaper and they had baguettes.

We’ve been to the Seaside Café twice as we can walk from our place and appreciate the ability to support a local business :) Teri is super friendly and enjoy talking with her! It’s good to be able to support a small business owned locally :) The food is very good and everything is made fresh, and healthy!

Stopped in for a quick bite for lunch. Food was excellent as was the service. Would highly recommend.

Great place with great food and great customer service. My first time here Lou took my order and he brought out a full cup of water with ice to my table. Four stars only because it’s a little pricier than I believe it should be, but overall the food is pretty good.

I come here for lunch often and these last few times it has been horrible! I recently ordered their Beef Slider Combo and I was so annoyed that I only got 4 small onion rings! Seriously that’s it?! For a $ 9 combo I would expect more! And to top it off no dessert (which is said to be included). I have been coming to seaside for over a year now and the prices have totally gone up. It is so overpriced for the amount of food you receive.
They recently added smoothies to their menu and I was so excited. However, they are $ 10 and the size is ridiculous! Not even Jamba Juice charges $ 10 for a small smoothie!

I love this place! Friendly people, great atmosphere and good food, all for a good price!!! I eat here at least 2 – 3 times a week for lunch. I highly recommend giving it a try… You’ll be hooked!
Also, sign up for their weekly email, which gives you the daily specials for the coming week.

I have been going here for about 2 months for lunch, about ¾ times a week.
They post a ‘weekly special’ menu, every Monday. I usually like most of the dishes, and they vary between $ 7 – 9. Not bad prices for food from scratch. (Better than paying $ 12 for a salad somewhere)
The staff is very very nice and always has my food ready in minutes (I call ahead).
If you want, you can sit there and eat. Its very charming, open air seating. I also bought a flower there that is on my desk right now.
These little touches of kindness and flowers make me think about the future and my using them for my wedding. its things like that make me think — hmmm. they put a special touch on everything — they would be great for my reception. (?) :)
The only food I didn’t like was the swedish meatballs (dry and hard), and the mash potatoes are fake. ewww.
Other than that, good food and good prices.

My friend had her wedding reception catered by Seaside Catering 3 years ago. It was one of the most memorable wedding meals I’ve ever eaten. We were served Chicken Picatta, strawberry feta salad, julienned vegetables, basmati rice, and dinner rolls. Sounds pretty standard, if not a little boring, right? I was so wrong! My friends and I were so pleasantly surprised.
The chicken was moist and delicious. Everything tasted fantastic, even the little rolls with butter. Dinner was buffet style, so we helped ourselves to seconds and thirds.
My friend and I took a trip down foodie memory lane and had lunch at Seaside Catering today. They also operate as a café of sorts, with daily specials for $ 6 or $ 7.
Today was Chicken Picatta for $ 7 (Score!). Came with the same wonderful julienned vegetables and basmati rice. No salad, though:(The chicken breast was small, maybe 4 – 6 oz. The meal also came with a little mini dessert (some kind of sweet bread with cream cheese frosting?). It was all very filling and yummy. I added a roll with butter, extra 75 cents.
This might be helpful to those wanting to try this place:
Call ahead for pick up. I saw plenty of people doing that. Seems like a time saver.
There is parking behind the building, which is also where you order your meal.
Two bar-​height tables to eat on if you so choose to eat there.
There are refrigerated and frozen items like soups, tartlets, and entrees.

Really good quality food for great prices!
I ordered food for the office from here (about 7 employees) and everyone really enjoyed their lunch. At $ 7.00 each, the meal comes with bread and a small dessert :)
We got the turkey panini and asian chicken salad with peanut sauce.
I had the salad and it was delicious! It had green onions, water chestnuts, bell peppers, tomatoes, etc. but what really made me fall in love was the basil. Even the peanut dressing was delicious– not overly sweet or thick.
I even stole a bite of my coworkers orzo and feta salad side (comes with the panini). The flavors were simple, but you could tell they use good quality ingredients.
The menu changes every day, you can find it online.
We’ll be ordering from this place quite a bit. The fact that they deliver to offices is so convenient. I hate running around picking up lunch
