I recently visited Bayshore Café with three of my friends, expecting a pleasant dining experience. However, I was shocked and deeply disappointed to discover that they had added a whopping 20% service charge to our bill, despite our small group size. This sneaky tactic left a bitter taste in my mouth, as it seemed like a blatant attempt to squeeze extra money out of unsuspecting customers.Not only did Bayshore Café fail to disclose this exorbitant service charge upfront, but they also neglected to mention it when presenting the bill. It wasn't until I returned home and reviewed my receipt that I realized I had been unfairly charged. Adding insult to injury, I had already included my usual tip, unaware that the service charge had already been included.Overall, my experience at Bayshore Café was marred by deceitful billing practices and subpar service. I would caution others to beware of hidden charges and think twice before dining at this establishment. It's a shame that what could have been an enjoyable outing with friends was tarnished by such unethical business practices.

Literally, the best hookah lounge in OC. Great vibe, hookah lasted 3 hours, service was impeccable, drinks were fire, Persian pizza went well with it all. My new "go-to spot" for hookah in OC.

Wow! Such a nice and classy restaurant/hookah spot! We wanted some hookah so looked up nearby spots! We went in without a reservation on Saturday night. Hookah is served only after 6 pm. They have limited flavors but the hookah itself was great! I got the ground beef kebob plate (koobideh) with no rice because I'm on keto. I also asked for no dressing but a side of olive oil and lemon juice. They brought out my plate exactly as I ordered. The kebob was soo juicy and delicious! Everything was great! They even have a full bar so you can order alcohol or tea! Will definitely be back when we are in the area again!

This is my to go place for hookah and after party chill on weekends, great food options. Huge lounge indoor and outdoor.
They have plenty of drink options, my favorite: bayshore drink, sweet and sour taste mixed with tequila. Great customer service, friendly owner. Happy with my order, indoor and outdoor seating enough for big groups and events.make sure to reserve in advance as they are always busy. Enough parking space for large groups.

Absolutely love this restaurant! The diverse menu offers a delightful array of dishes that cater to various tastes. The recent transformation of the decor under new management is nothing short of impressive, elevating the dining experience to the best it can be. Having visited last year under different management, I can confidently say the positive changes are remarkable. The attention to detail, the welcoming atmosphere, and the commitment to excellence are evident in every aspect. It's not just a meal; it's an immersive culinary journey. Can't wait to return for more goodies and enjoy the elevated dining experience this gem now offers!
