Old World Village

I love this place. Delicious chocolates, the best strudel ever, the Dachsund races, etc. Even visiting during the off season is relaxing.

Attended the Halloween pet costume event. So many creative people. Loved all the fur babies in costumes. Was a very fun event.

We visited on a weekend where they were having small dog races which was fun to see all the cute tiny dogs in here. But you have a purchase a ticket to watch the game. Other than that, there are some vendors and a very cute European store and cafe which I loved because there are many special cookies, candies, cheeses, etc. you don't see in other grocery stores. Would go again when they hold other events in the future:) parking is okay, they have parking lots.

Really cool and charming little village, lots of cool shops and delicious restaurants.

OMG... love this Place. For me as a German living in the US, its a Gem to find places like this. We ate in the Restaurant and it was authentic German Food. Soooo yummy, great Beer selection and a Store with a lot of German Goodies 😀 😉 🥰 We did shop quiet a lot🙈🤣🙈 The entire Town is beautiful and in German Style build. The people living there, taking good care of it ‼ We definitely thinking of coming back to the next October Fest Party 🍻🥰👍

Besides the amazing bands and festivals (Plum fest and Oktoberfest are great), there is a Liederhosen and Drindle shop, a deli and imported foods store, Weinerdog races, a craft bazaar on weekends, and more shops.
We like to park in the parking garage for free, past the village, on the right.
This place supports 3/1 HB's support group for military and their families at Camp Pendleton.
The food is good and reminds us of when we lived in Germany. Often I can speak Denglish there, as there are many Germans hanging out.
There are German newspapers for sale, wine tastings at the deli store, and lots of tasty baked goods at the Bakery, deli, and Biergarten.
The only place I don't recommend is Pamela's tea house.

This venue is so fun and versatile. They have a deli, bakery, bar, grocery store, event space, and more. I've been here for meetings, Irish bands, 80s music, Octoberfest, and Hawaiian festivals. I love that they have so many concerts lined up year round. I've been here when they've had themed food specific to the event type. I love that I can buy my favorite German beer in the grocery store or go to the bar and order a drink. There are a ton of shops, eateries, and coffee within the village. It's just a great place to go shopping or attend an event. When you walk through the cobblestones' streets, it's like traveling back in time to a charming Bavarian village. It's so cute with its German influenced architecture, sweeping awnings, and half timbered structures. I recommend heading to Old World in Huntington Beach.

What a great little gem! I wanted to go to Freys store and I stumbled upon this market! I went on a Sunday, and apparently, they have a crafts fair, daschund races & other events on Sundays. I got myself some cute souvenirs, German beer, a sandwhich from the deli and supplies from Freys. I was very happy with this little market!

What a cute place! We went to the Crepes restaurant and were seated after a short wait. Then we were basically ignored for 15 mins. We flagged a waitress down to say that we were ready to order. She told the waitress assigned to our table that we wanted to order and our waitress just shrugged and was busy getting drinks for her other tables. I think they might have been overwhelmed and we didn't have all day to wait so we left.

We came upon the Biergarten restaurant and were seated right away. Service was 1000% better here. Waitress was smiling and friendly. Two other wait staff came by our table to help our waitress and check up on our group to see if we needed anything.
Food was also delicious as well as the drinks. We will definitely be coming back!

What a fun place! My daughter and I stopped by but was a little too late for the arts and craft fair. However, there were a few shops still open to explore. We loved the home-made candy store with those fresh apple struddles. Yummy! Very nice place to getaway, take a walk, grab lunch, dinner, visit the church and shop for unique items. We will definitely come back again.

It had been a while since I have been here. It I'd a little cute German town with shops and Bars. Once you walk there, you feel away from LA and in a total different country.
The shops are very particular and you can find unique things.
Walking around is pleasant and relaxing.

Old World Village is a unique and colorful open mall with lots of thematic stores ranging from selected restaurants to varied shops and deli. Truly a unique and inspiring place to just grab a bite or buy an interesting gift for a loved one. Highly recommended!

It's a magical place! Great place to take the kids and take pictures. Lots of little unique stores including some antique stores. Watch out for fun events such as October fest and Mermaid day. When you are there you really feel like you travelled not only to Europe but also back in time. Buildings are very cute and have amazing painted murals on them, makes you want to take lots of pictures.

Went to Old World Village for Rare Vintage Air car show. I never would have known about this place other wise. It was so cool. It was our first time going to a German store and try their delicacies...so delicious

If you want to get the real Octoberfest vibe, you've got to come to this place. Very authentic.

I've been driving past this place for years and stopped in for the first time the other day.

This place is a true hidden gem!

The deli is full of amazing food and the service is extremely friendly.

Picked up a German Chocolate cake for my wife's birthday the other day which was delicious.

Stopped in today for some sausage.

Can't wait to try out the biergarten!

Nice and beautiful place for visit and dine.I stumbled to this beautiful place while whopping at the Bella across the street. This German and European village was old and they still kept their traditions and customs. There was also an old town supermarket that carried their ethnic foods and goodies. I was fortunate that there was a very nice lady who happened to work there to show me around. People here were very friendly and even customers. We walked around the village and buildings, shops and a little Chapple in this small area that reminding me as I was in Europe. They also have restaurants and the best of all the german BEERS and sausages. They were having a Mardi Gras while I was there, it seemed like people were having a great time even the children. This place was bigger than the other in Torrance. I would be back to this place for Octoberfest this year to try out.

Old World Village is a German enclave in Huntington Beach, California. It features shops, restaurants, a chapel, and a hotel. Many of the proprietors of its businesses live above their establishments. This live-work arrangement is unusual for Orange County.

About 40 families live in the village.When it opened in 1978, the proprietors were primarily from Germany and Austria, but the Village has become more ethnically diverse over time.

So Friday the 9th I went to this free concert there I got there early so I went inside the store there was a lady up on a ladder stocking groceries so I asked her what's the difference between swedish and German food and she took 15 minutes and explained all the difference showed me the cakes explain how I could order stuff cuz I didn't want to take anything into the concert with me she represents the store really good her name is Jackie she's a great public relations person for the business she's swedish and then I went into the concert and I believe it was Jessica she's a head of security I believe she was really helpful explained everything gave me a calendar so I know what was playing when.

I lived in Frankfurt, Germany, in the State of Hessen for 7 years. I also lived in Dachau, (near Munich) in Bavaria for three years. I am fluent in German and have missed traditional German meals, beer and culture. While many of the employees are American and don't speak German, there are several people on staff who do. The waitresses dress in traditional Dirndl's and the male staff wear lederhosen. They have a traditional Biergarten, delicious food and the beer (bier) is incredible. I felt transported and a little homesick. The staff are responsive, helpful and very pleasant. I thoroughly recommend going there for a taste of traditional Germany in a beautiful setting.
