“Better tasting boba compared to the location in cerritos and delicious macroons. I got the specialty smootie milk and honey with mini boba and egg pudding. It tastes amazing. I wanted to try the Nutella and green tea macroons however they were sold out. I settled for the fruity pebble and I loved it.“

“nice relaxing atmospuhere“

“This Vietnamese spot quietly sits inside a bland strip mall but surprises in every bite. The pho was rich and fragrant, and their pho‑French‑dip banh mi served on Persian bread was unforgettable. I appreciated how inventive yet respectful their flavor combinations stayed. Seating is minimal, but the staff are attentive and efficient. It’s precisely the sort of hidden gem locals appreciate—not glossy, just excellent food“

“The reviews are on point!!! The best cheesecake I've ever had!! It is so rich and creamy, but not overwhelmingly so. So many flavors and they are all delicious!! I buy them to celebrate my team at work, and it is a hit EVERY TIME!!! Thank you Doll Babee's!!!!“

“Family Friendly and quite lovely“

“The staff was really rude, it was a guy in the back just ignoring the fact I had just got there to order... and didn't even greet or anything just stared and continued to do whatever he was doing.. wait for about 20mins before leaving.. I even had eye contact with him😒😒“

“From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance was warm and elegant, with just the right mix of sophistication and comfort. Every detail was thoughtfully executed — from the lighting to the music to the attentive, professional staff.

The food? Unforgettable. Every dish was a masterpiece, both in flavor and presentation. The ingredients were clearly top-quality and prepared with incredible skill. My [insert favorite dish] was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, and the dessert — wow. Easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had.“

“Superb coffee. Super classy atmosphere, helpful staff & killer drinks & food. I have a dairy intolerance rn and you can get the chapati with chickpeas instead of the eggs that have milk in, super delicious. My bf got the chapati with the eggs and cheese and he he loved it as well.“

“Stopped by Un Caffé Altamura for breakfast and had such a great experience. I walked there, so I can’t speak to the parking, but I was seated right away. The coffee was delicious, breakfast hit the spot, and I treated myself to a mimosa—worth it! It’s a super cute spot just a block from the pier. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a cozy, satisfying start to your day.“

“Great food, fabulous service and a great central location make this the perfect downtown location for healthy food in Long Beach!“

“Cappuccino, espresso, croissant, cornetto, are my favorites, but everything is fresh and delicious! Service and atmosphere is great! Alessandro got it right! Bravo!!“

“AMBIANCE: This coffee shop is small, pretty laidback, and I like their decor & choice of indie music. Honestly I might come in here more to study or relax if I'm nearby.

FOOD/DRINK: Iced ube almond latte - I wasn't expecting it on the menu. Luckily, I was in the mood for ube these past two days so I'm glad I came when I did! It had a pretty purple color on the top and the starchy flavor of ube to cut into the aftertaste of coffee so all things considered, I enjoyed it a lot.

SERVICE: Chris was quick and accomodating for my dairy allergies! He made the latte in a separate steam pitcher and took the time to talk to me about the warming summer weather. Seems like a nice guy, glad he was my barista today.“

“We had a pleasant lunch enjoying good food from an extensive menu. In
Access to the restaurant is difficult because it is located on a busy street and has a limited number of parking spaces in the rear.
Inside seating is best in the patio.
From all appearances, it looks like a popular neighborhood cafe with efficient take out service“

“Very healthy and delicious breakfast/lunch sandwiches (organic produce), salads and Coffee ☕️...and pastries...LAUSD Coffee cake the BEST 😋😋“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff! Eleno has been working to support the local community for five years now. Stop by and see for yourself.“

“Lovely experience. The staff were very nice and attentive. The food was really great! I ordered the burger and fries, the ranch on the side is a must! Best ranch ever with the best fries. We came here to celebrate my Husbands birthday and the staff here made it special. 10/10 recommend!“

“Stopped into Bliss on my way to get my nails done next door. Got my usual drink—an iced vanilla almond milk latte. This one tasted spectacular and I found out it’s because they make their own vanilla syrup with REAL vanilla beans! Wow! Coming back soon!“

“Everything it is an awesome place to eat at“

“I have breakfast here whenever I am in town. Amazing food“

“So much to say… but ultimately, Colossus in Long Beach is WONDERFUL!! The BEST BLT I’ve ever had. Because they use high quality ingredients! Their Soft-Scrambled Egg Toast is divine. And everything is beautifully fresh. I love their country bread, baguettes, olive cumin bread, dinner rolls… but I have so much more to try Their pastries are scrumptious: Pecan Sticky Bun, Cardamom Bun, Kouign Amann, Financier, Marzipan Croissant, Sea Salt Brownie, OG Chocolate Chip Cookie. It’s all amazing and I’ve brought a number of friends to show off this incredible Belmont Shore Bakery. On Friday nights Colossus serves pizza into the night. Again, high-quality ingredients make their pizzas delicious. Plus they have interesting and unique combinations. They are tip free because their starting wage is $21/hr. Great customer service. Cute little space with some lovely specialty spice mixes, food items, merch, and wine. Indoor and outdoor seating, and they serve tasty coffees and teas. Colossus feels like a little bit of Europe on 2nd Street.“

“I had to plan a last minute breakfast for a coworker and since I love the breakfast burritos from TMJ Cafe i thought everyone else would too! They had everything ready when I got there and are always so happy and appreceative. Love this place! Oder the Supreme Doughnuts Box they're gorgeous and totally worth it!

Vegetarian options: They have a veggie burrito that is amazing! Just remember to order it without cheese.

Parking: Its a small parking lot, but people come and go very quickly.“

“Brought my daughter after jujitsu class... we were ordering and i saw the new reopens drinks and suggested she try one of them... she said she wanted to stick with her original order of a mango smoothie with no boba and mango jelly and popping boba... before we even paid the drink was prepared... one thing I noticed was all the employees were smiling... my daughter left her phone on the counter and we walked over to the bakery next door... as we were walking out Roxy came and brought us the phone.... thank you for a great experience and saving us a headache.“

“We stumbled upon this little café by chance while driving from the airport — and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! I honestly envy the office workers who get to have this place nearby every day.

It's a small café, but everything they serve is top-tier culinary art — the sandwiches, coffee, and salads are absolutely delicious. And the soups… just wow! We tried the pumpkin and broccoli soups — both incredibly tasty and nourishing. My 7-year-old son usually won’t touch broccoli, but he loved their broccoli soup and ate it with great pleasure.

We've only been there a couple of times over the past year, but it’s definitely on our list for every future trip to Los Angeles. Can’t wait to come back!“

“My partner and I were talking a stroll down our new neighborhood, and quite literally SMELLED the delicious food before seeing this place. It was almost cartoon-like the way we just followed our feet toward the warm buttery smell of a local diner.
We probably got lucky since it was just two of us and spots were available at the counter right when we got in!
We sat down, and were greeted right away with a smile and a fresh pot of coffee. Menu is extensive for such a cozy spot! Health is also highlighted in their menu..plenty of options to enhance the menu to your needs. My partner got the turkey omelette sub egg whites, and I got the French toast combo w/ a side of potatoes (10/10).
The atmosphere is amazing, and we love businesses that highlight artists as well (you can scan under some of the art displayed to learn more).
Service is friendly and efficient.
When you walk-in, you get a sense that you’ve been there before. And that’s a very comforting feeling for a first timer (:“

“I like to enjoy my favorite White Chocolate mocha and the good people !! They are very servicial with the customers !“

“Great Spot! Delicious bagel, Açaí bowl and Coffee- highly recommend!“

“I recently stumbled upon an adorable little coffee shop, thanks to a quick search on Google. As someone who loves exploring new places, I was immediately drawn to its charm. The shop offered an impressive array of pastries. We decided to try their croissants, which turned out to be light, airy, and perfectly crispy.

The coffee menu, while straightforward, was inviting. However, I noticed that there weren't many options catered specifically for kids. After inquiring, the staff kindly provided us with a variety of alternatives, ensuring everyone could find something enjoyable. One thing we learned was that most sweeteners came with an extra charge.

We faced a minor setback when it took longer than anticipated to receive our drinks. With two orders ahead of us, we found ourselves waiting about 20 minutes. Despite the wait, we would definitely return. The coffee was simply perfect, though next time, we'll be sure to allow ourselves some extra time.“

“Enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at Toast Cafe❤️ Smoked salmon avocado toast and fresh berry toast were amazing. Quiet cozy cafe with great food. Highly recommend!e“

“great food for Hawaiian food“

“I discovered Jade Snow located at the King Harbor pier in Redondo Beach while biking on the path along the sand near the ocean. Initially, I tried their smoothies and then the various fresh fruit dishes including the MACHA, ACAI, and the DRAGON. The fruits were always fresh, the presentation always appealing, and the taste always gratifying. The staff are friendly and bring my order to me, rather than call my order number and hand it to me over the counter.

Jade Snow has been a fantastic place for me to stop by, get tasty / healthy nutrition, and refresh on my cycling route.“

“From out of town. Nice surprise breakfast spot.“

“Great food and , great customer service. You feel like home. Love it“

“Amazing service & amazing food! Great place to host a meeting or group dinner.“

“음료가 맘에 들어요.“

“I ordered both the hot matcha latte and the iced matcha, curious to compare the two. To my surprise, the cold version came flavored with lemonade—a twist not mentioned on the menu. Had I known, I likely would’ve skipped it. The citrusy tang clashed with the earthy matcha in a way that didn’t quite work for my palate. Still, I’d paid for it, so I powered through.

The hot matcha latte had potential, but the balance was off—too much matcha powder led to a thick sediment settling at the bottom. Unfortunately, my final sip delivered a gritty mouthful that left an unpleasant aftertaste.

While this visit wasn’t the most delightful sip-wise, I’m not holding it against Yellow Vase. I’d come back for other offerings, but I’ll be steering clear of the matcha next time..“

“great food and amazing coffee! it's always nice to stop in for a bite to eat.“

“Mr. Mack graciously assisted us by taking our order and providing wonderful recommendations. Consequently, we opted for two delectable ham & egg sandwiches on wheat bread, a refreshing Greek salad, an indulgent Almond Chocolate Croissant, a rich café latte, and a steaming cup of hot water.

My spouse and I enjoy exploring new dining venues and pride ourselves on evaluating service, food quality, and ambiance. We were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service we received; Mr. Mack warmly greeted us with a sweet smile and gentle demeanor, offering insightful suggestions. He diligently catered to our needs, even promptly fulfilling my request for Tapatio hot sauce to spice up my sandwich. The dishes were fresh and superb, with the salad proving to be particularly delightful and the coffee exceeding our expectations.

As our meal drew to a close, we approached a lady, whose name eluded me, to request a takeout box. She promptly presented us with two options to choose from. I wholeheartedly endorse this restaurant and look forward to returning for another delightful start to the day. Thank you ?

Warm regards,

William & Connie“

“lovely and cute cafe. will definitely go back for another boba or ube ice cream. 😊“

“The interior of this coffee shop is really beautiful and thoughtfully designed. They have different areas, each with its own vibe, which makes the whole space feel more dynamic.

I got the maple lavender latte (less sweet), and it came with orange zest on top... didn’t expect to love it as much as I did. It was so creamy and well balanced, with just the right hints of each flavour. Definitely one of the more memorable drinks I’ve had in a while.“

“Croque madame, croissant ou chocolate, chocolate ou lavande, soup de’oignon“

“The best tasting food and best ingredients for the menu items. Fred“

“Love, love their chicken. Fresh, healthy and very, very tasty. This really is a pick up location, but it does have outside tables. Easy to order ahead and their rotisserie chicken is frankly the best I have had. I know they've been in West LA for years and so happy they just opened El Segundo. I eat here a few times a week. They have some really good sides as well, especially the roasted potatoes. Order ahead El Segundo because they are packed at lunch. Staff is very friendly and it is easy to walk up and order. They usually are 10 minutes or less. The atmosphere is fine but it is really a walk up and eat outside place. Try it. You will love it.

Parking: It just get crowed at lunch in Chargers commons because there are a lot of other restaurants. But you can always find a space somewhere.

Kid-friendliness: Perfect meal for kids. Fresh, healthy and tasty. Plenty to oder from for them.“

“Beautiful little cafe with a nice outdoor terrace. Very cozy and the service is super friendly. The little shop next door is also great, you can find wonderful gifts here.Price-performance is right. The food is delicious and freshly prepared...I felt very well.“
