Why go
Specialty coffee drinks, pastries, smoothies and paninis come over the counter at Blend Café, the lobby coffee stop inside the Paséa Hotel on Huntington Beach's Pacific Coast Highway.
Coffee, pastries and paninis over the counter
The menu is built for speed and range in equal measure. Espresso drinks and brewed coffee anchor it, smoothies cover the beach-day end, and pastries and paninis handle the difference between a snack and something closer to lunch. Nothing on it requires sitting down, which is the point of a lobby counter.
A bright room facing the ocean
The room is a modern hotel-lobby café with casual seating and natural light off the oceanfront. It works for a first coffee before the beach, a short meeting, or a pause between other parts of a day on Pacific Coast Highway. Service is at the counter and the flow is quick.
Order coffee, then decide about food
Start with a specialty coffee drink, since that is what the counter is set up to do best. Add a pastry if the visit is short, or a panini if the morning has run long. A smoothie is the better order on a hot afternoon, when the walk back to the sand matters more than the caffeine.
