Location
Endless Summer Resort – Surfside Inn and Suites, one of Universal’s hotels
Hours
7:00 am to 11:00 pm.
Style
This is the care-free, SoCal-themed casual-dining food court at Surfside, and the hotel’s only eatery.
Two-sentence insider summary
The four different sections at Beach Break Cafe (the deli, pizza, burger, and rotisserie stations) serve up rather standard – but inexpensive – fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But perhaps more noteworthy is the venue’s culinary influences: its offerings are surfer-inspired (as the name might suggest), feature Southern California flavors and fresh ingredients, incorporate culinary options from around the world, consist of unique cuisine and comfort food both, and take a nod from food trucks, local joints, and backyard barbecue (phew!).
OI fun fact
In an attempt to make Beach Break Cafe as “cool and exciting” as possible, Universal inserted surfers that are attempting to ride the next big wave above you while you wait in line. It’s a fun little touch.
Prices
No entree goes above $12, a fact that Universal is keen to brag about.
Reservations
Online reservations are not available.
