Huntington Beach Central Park - ParkBench Cafe

 

 

Huntington Beach, Calif.--Park Bench Cafe is one of two outdoor, dog friendly diners (the other is Alice's Breakfast in the Park) in Central Park, the crown jewel of the parks system in Huntington Beach. There are over 72 parks in the city but none quite compare with this center of everything...two cafes, 350+ acres, the Central Library, a sports complex with ball fields, an equestrian center, a disc golf course, a nature center, and some much more.

 

Park Bench Cafe, 17732 Golden West St, Huntington Beach, CA 92647. Hours: During summer months Park Bench opens daily around 7:30 a.m. and closes around 2 p.m., 3:30 p.m. on weekends. Call: (714) 842-0775
 

Park Bench Cafe is open for breakfast and lunch daily. It's menu includes the usual breakfast meals, plus hamburgers, sandwiches, salads, and plenty of delicious beverages to quench your thirst. On the menu are items for your dog as well. While there's a small indoor seating section, the bulk of the tables and dining are outdoors on grass lawns. A grove of trees (mostly eucalyptus) offer some shade, and the diner sits on the edge of a paved walking trail that goes through the park, with a par course and exercise stations along its way.

 

In addition to a great outdoor dining experience that Southern California's mellow weather invites you to enjoy throughout the year, the Park Bench Cafe can accommodate special events as it does most weekends. Kids birthday parties, pet gatherings, anniversaries, art clubs, you name it... anything that would be fun to host in a park can be done on your own, but the restaurant makes it a lot easier, and handles the permit process for the bounce houses and other items you need for a perfect event.
