Cool little spot. Came here during Christmas week and had the opportunity to see all the Christmas stuff inside the store and explore around. Limited parking in the area.

Had an awesome time here for Wurst fest. Food selection was impeccable and the floor was fantastic.
Throughout the time I was there I had the Jager schnitzel, a rabbit and rattle snake sausage with sauerkraut topping, and a piece of princess c...

Came for the Christmas market and was not disappointed. They had loads of different German snacks, beverages, and items for sale. There were even lederhosen, dirndls and related accessories for sale, which was a fun surprise. There was a lady g...

Old World Village is one of those places that instantly transports you. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by cobblestone-style walkways, storybook architecture, and a mix of shops and cafés that feel like a little European escape tucked...
right into Huntington Beach.
What makes this village special is the variety. You can wander from a deli serving hearty German classics to cafés offering pastries and coffee, then turn a corner and find boutiques filled with dirndls, lederhosen, crystals, vintage toys, and handcrafted treasures. Every storefront has its own personality—colorful murals, flower boxes, and whimsical décor that make the whole place feel alive.
The deli is a standout with its comforting dishes, fresh salads, and classic European flavors. The restaurants offer everything from schnitzel to goulash, and the bakeries tempt you with cakes, eclairs, and gluten‑free treats. It’s the kind of place where you can snack, shop, and stroll for hours. Plus free parking.
The outdoor spaces are just as charming—string lights, lush plants, air‑plant displays, and cozy corners that make the village feel warm and inviting. It’s perfect for families, date nights, or anyone who loves discovering unique shops and old‑world charm.
If you enjoy places with character, culture, and a little magic, Old World Village is absolutely worth a visit.

ked Bavarian pretzel, Nürnberger bratwurst, bockwurst, vegan beyond sausage, spicy ginger chickpea soup, kremes cinnamon stick, and bernliner krapfen. We drank German beer and mulled wine.
In the deli, there is a grandma passing out delicious samples of Gluhwein , mulled wine. The deli also has a great selection of German sausages as well other popular German foods and treats.
The Christmas market had a lot of small business items being sold, a number of themed Christmas trees being auctioned and country themed stalls. There was also a performer playing Christmas music 🎶. Santa was there taking pictures with families. They also had a section for kids to make crafts.
In the outdoor area, there were lots of seating options. Also lots of different country “haus”s offering food and drinks.
There were a lot of people enjoying the festivities. We had a great time.
