Wine & beer Laguna Beach has winery tasting rooms on Coast Highway, a wine bar with a wood-fired kitchen, a bakery that sells wine and two places that pour craft beer. Seven are listed here, each from its own website. Photo: Kevin.Daniels, CC BY 3.0
Farmers market The Laguna Beach Farmers Market is one of the Orange County Farm Bureau's certified farmers' markets, held Saturday mornings at 521 Forest Avenue. This page covers the schedule, what the booths sell and where to park. Photo: Don Ramey Logan, CC BY-SA 3.0
Dog-friendly patios Two Laguna Beach restaurants call themselves dog-friendly on their own websites, and a third says yes to dogs in an FAQ that covers the whole company. Each policy is quoted as the restaurant words it, because the wording differs and only one ties dogs to a patio. Photo: Don Ramey Logan, CC BY-SA 3.0
Kids' menus Eleven Laguna Beach restaurants post a kids' menu on their own websites. Where a site gives an age limit it is stated on the card, and each venue links to its own menu. Photo: Don Ramey Logan, CC BY-SA 4.0
Michelin The MICHELIN Guide's website lists three Laguna Beach restaurants as of October 28, 2026: R|O-Rebel Omakase with one Star, and Oliver's Osteria and Selanne Steak Tavern as Selected restaurants. It lists no Bib Gourmand here, and its page for Oliver's Osteria says temporarily closed. Photo: Gnawme, CC BY 2.0
Desserts & ice cream Laguna Beach has gelato shops in the Village, an ice cream shop on South Coast Highway, a chocolate maker on Peppertree Lane and a candy store on Forest Avenue. Seven places are listed, each from its own website. Photo: The Fun Chronicles, CC0
Vegan & vegetarian None of the ten places listed here calls itself fully vegan, but each states on its own menu or listing that it serves vegetarian or vegan dishes. Each card gives the venue's wording, so you can see how specific it is. Photo: The Fun Chronicles, CC0
