The cashier/food runner Rebecca is extremely insincere and frankly bad at her job. I asked for her name just so other customers can avoid an unpleasant interaction. The other employee were honestly very kind and helpful. I had asked Rebecca for a refill just to have her tell me to ask her coworker. She then proceeded to go behind the counter and flirt with the clearly uncomfortable male employee who ended up actually providing my group with satisfactory service. Food was amazing and the restaurant itself is very clean and well operated aside from the one unpleasant employee. I won't be giving one star because everything else made up for it.

I had a tuna sandwich it was nothing but two pieces of bread with a thin layer of tuna in the middle, so thin I could hardly taste the tuna.

Really didn't like this pizza at all. It was cold, cheese wasn't melted at all. I never write reviews but I couldnt be more serious that this pizza was worth $4 not $15+. Really wish I just went to target and got microwave instead. They didn't even give a receipt. Too much sauce, cold cheese, crust is embarassing. Everything about this pizza was extremely bad not to mention overpriced.

Good place to be near campus but away at the same time. Outdoor seating is a great mix of couches and table seating. Wine beer and pasta all great. You can see the gliders floating over the cliffs too.

I work in the area and frequently walk here for lunch with my colleagues. I have consistently gotten the same thing for over a year now, and that is the social club panini. It is very delicious. The staff are very friendly, and I love their outdoor patio. My team and I have had several team meetings and activities on the patio of Bella Vista and their staff is very accommodating. You can also see partial views of Glider port from the patio, so coming here at sunset is really nice.

What a great spot to visit! We're from Chicago... we are picky about food. This hit the spot! It's a great location with indoor and outdoor seating. There was live music at 5:30pm today. The service was great from start to finish. This is definitely a hidden gem in an area where many places close early.
The food was Great. I had a Turkey, jam & brie sandwich. My friend had a salmon salad that she loved. The view is nice and there is outdoor seating. Very clean. The girl (Argentinian) that took our order was helpful and kind. I'll be back there for sure.

Been coming here for years. Great food, views, and vibes. Excellent coffee as well. The owners and staff are friendly and kind. I'm just sad that their hours changed and there's no happy hour anymore! Bummer because the happy hour tapas and live music on Thursdays was fantastic. Still a great place to get coffee or lunch though. The pastries are great too, and fresh every day.

Unfortunately, this place seems to be lacking. I've been in the past when the food was delicious. Last couple of times I have not enjoyed the experience and unfortunately today will be my last time. Had quiche and a tabouli salad for $20. Quiche piece was very small and had been reheated to make it very crisp. Disappointing as I do like the space.

This is a surprisingly good cafe in the most unusual place. They have great Italian food and health foods for lunch, plus some great kombucha tea drinks. However, they're located on a college campus. They have a wonderful patio for outside dining where you can watch the paragliders go by, but you're not quite close enough to see the ocean. There are no other nice restaurants or cafes close by so this makes a good option if you're visit Blacks beach or the paragliding facility down the street.
