About

Operating as a coffee-and-breakfast counter inside the same family-held property as OB Quik Stop Liquor and OB Deli, the flagship Cafe Bella anchors the Voltaire/Bacon corner with the only drive-thru lane in the four-store local mini-chain. Açaí and pitaya bowls, hand-crafted lattes, organic Numi teas, breakfast sandwiches, smoothies, bagels, croissants, and the signature Bellacino blended drink run from pre-dawn through the dinner service window, a longer counter-service span than the brunch-anchored kitchen at Sine Wave Cafe on Santa Monica Avenue. Doggie treats kept at the window and outdoor seating set the order flow up for Dog Beach walkers detouring through on the way back from the off-leash sand. The pastry case rotates croissants and bagels alongside fresh-pulled espresso, a different format from the Cuban panaderia program at Azucar down Newport Avenue. Co-location with the convenience store and deli means a single stop covers coffee, breakfast, beach snacks, sundries, and beer or wine — the largest combined retail footprint among the four Cafe Bella addresses. The walk-up window, indoor seating, dedicated drive-thru lane, and full all-day menu make the 4984 Voltaire flagship the format choice for catered breakfast pickups along the Voltaire/Bacon residential corridor and for early-morning surf crew orders heading to Sunset Cliffs.
