Welcome To The Sidewalk Cafe

The Sidewalk Cafe is "the best place to people watch on Venice Beach" according to New Times Magazine. We've been featured in many movies and commercials as well as in such publications as Sunset Magazine, LA Weekly and many tour books. Production companies often rent out our adjacent parking lots so it's common to see some of your favorite Hollywood celebrities nearby! 

The cafe is famous for its chill, eclectic oceanside atmosphere and serves up a selection of American and Mexican-influenced meals like burgers, tacos, salads, pizza and pastas. If you're seeking a relaxed meal, drinks at the sports bar, or positive vibes, The Sidewalk Cafe is the place to be!
