50 Best Cafes near Cerritos

“I have been trying to get in severally times but fail due to overcrowded not taking reservations. Other than that, good restaurant for breakfast n lunch, closed at 2pm“

“Well I have never eaten there or have bought any drinks there, i've just gone in there to get ice for our drinks. They are the most nicest, considerate, and caring staff who work there that serve the drinks and food. I do tip for the ice at least fifty cents or more per cup, one of the servers told me firmly, that I ldo not have to tip. I really wanted to tip though. but I honored his serious words.
It seems like they are a good spiritual group.
of employees. Thank you kindly! 😊“

“I was blown away by the outstanding service and incredible food at this restaurant. The staff was genuinely kind and knew the menu inside out, making great recommendations for our wine and food pairings. The duck breast was cooked to perfection, and the tarte tatin was an absolute highlight. The ambiance was intimate and charming, with elegant French-style décor and soft, ambient music. This restaurant provides a fantastic, authentic French dining experience and is definitely worth visiting!“

“The Acai bowl was so amazing it's so freshing and the service was good Vanessa that works there was very helpful for my first time definitely going back 😃“

“I ordered two bagels the cinnamon crunch and the multigrain, with honey walnut cream cheese on the side, plus a fruit cup.
The bagels were freshly baked, and the cream cheese had a rich, nutty flavor.
The fruit was fresh and sweet, and it was nice to have a mix of different kinds at once. I’d recommend it.
The coffee was also great, and the place has a calm, cozy atmosphere that makes it perfect for reading or studying.“

“first time. lovely experience. everything was very good, but not extraordinary. the avocado toast was pretty bland, couldn’t taste the avocado or cream cheese. the turkish coffee was a surprise - i don’t usually drink black coffee unless it’s very good coffee, this one i could drink it black. loved the candy that came with the coffee. service was basic, more like neighborhood family restaurant style, and they both were on the quiet side. the decor was nice and chic, not so fancy. the place was clean and quiet. overall, it’s good but on the pricier end.“

“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“

“Great all around food choices with excellent quality! All the staff are personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great service with great prices!! Love Appu’s“

“Highly recommend. Service and food are both great!“

“My favorite place for kumquat lemon iced tea with crystal boba. I love the vibe when you walk in is very peaceful and relaxing. They also use fresh fruits so you can taste it instead of too much syrup. Would recommend !“

“Stopped by Rabbit and Bean on Imperial Highway and immediately got the sense that this is a well established neighborhood coffee spot. It was busy, but not chaotic. The crowd felt like mostly local regulars who know their coffee, which is always a good sign. This is not a trendy or flashy café, but a clean, thoughtfully run independent shop that focuses on doing things right.

The space is aesthetic and well maintained. Pastries looked great, though I was not hungry this time. I went with the espresso tonic, even though they also had a yuzu matcha tonic that I have been gravitating toward lately. I needed a quick caffeine bump, and the espresso tonic delivered. Bright, refreshing, and well balanced.

My drink came out in under five minutes. We sat for a bit and watched the baristas work, and it was clear they know exactly what they are doing. Efficient movements, no wasted actions, and a calm, confident workflow behind the bar.

This has officially made it onto my list of solid coffee spots. A reliable place for good coffee, quick service, and a neighborhood vibe that feels genuine rather than forced. Definitely coming back.“

“Great breakfast choices, all home cooked. Quality food with Quality service. 5 min from Disneyland. Very affordable. Carl from Colorado“

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

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

“es el mejor lugar los mejores cafes y postres ynoseles olvide llevar su rikisimo pastel selos recomiendo. está rikisimo todo“

“The iced chai, churro latte (hot or cold) and their bagels are to die for. I live out of state but cannot wait to go back when I’m in So Cal! Employees are so nice too - seems as though they are very happy working there:)“

“My BnA experience was amazing! The service was professional and they expressed much courtesy. The atmosphere felt as though I was in a world outside of the everyday city which I worked in. I had their strawberry matcha and the flavor was a sweet and earthy balance. The Chocolate chip cookies with Walnuts were soft, giving a sweet from to chocolate and filled my mouth with a sensation of home baked feeling that made me feel a yearning for a home from my younger years.
The huge display screen really stands out above all other coffee and tea locations. With a quality menu I definitely recommend visiting Before n After for either a quick snack and refreshing beverages or a relaxing cafe setting to relax in while doing school or remote work.
Will be definitely visiting again!“

“Soooo delicious!! Ordered to-go & took us a little over 20mins to get home & surprisingly my Shaved Iced dessert was still frozen! Very satisfied with how everything tasted. I ordered the Green Tea Snow with Oreos, Strawberries & Popping Boba combination. I loved it. I also ordered the Pistachio & Matcha Green Tea Macarons & the Milk Tea. The Pistachio Macarons & Milk Tea was delicious. Definitely recommend. (Didn’t get to try Jesse’s Breakfast)“

“This coffee spot truly delivers an exceptional experience. The coffee itself is rich and flavorful, and the food choices complement it perfectly. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great place to unwind. You can watch the roasting process up close, which adds a unique touch, and the store is beautifully arranged. Right outside, there is a lovely park ideal for a peaceful stroll. A must-visit destination for anyone who loves coffee.“

“Yes yes, another Country/Chicken Fried Steak breakfast 😋 this time at the mom & pop shop Sunny Side Cafe in Seal Beach. They took over a defunct Denny's and are making it their own.

They served some of the darkest orange egg yolks I've yet to see at a diner/cafe. Super dark orange eggs yolks usually signify the hen had a diet rich in carotenoids, which are pigments found in plants like marigolds, alfalfa, and other foraged foods. They were deliciously sticky. And instead of a toast option, they bring you a homemade biscuit, halved, then griddled on the cut side (nice touch) and served with heavily cinnamoned whipped butter.

The stand out for me were the hash browns, nicely crispy yet tender within and I'm fairly certain they were flat topped using clarified butter. They were incredibly delicious just on their own.

Friendly service rounded out a very nice meal. It's barley 10 min from home so I'll definitely be back.“

“I came here to do work at this coffe shop as it was nearby. It was busy and very popular but I was lucky enough to snag a seat. There were a few other people doing work here as well so it can be a bit noisy if you want to hop on calls.

I can appreciate that they have private wifi so it helps with connecting and feeling more secure.

For the coffee, I loved their maple syrup latte. It was very delicious and I don’t know if it is a seasonal one, but it should belong on the rotation.

The shop has a lot of cute merch and vinyls for you to browse through. The owner works behind the counter and is in the trenches with the employees so I love to see that and support businesses who operate this way.“

“I really like it because the food is good and prices reasonable“

“Family Friendly and quite lovely“

“Love it here!! We found it by chance when we were going through the mall for the first time and it has been great every time. The base cheesecake itself tasted like it should (in my opinion): creamy, cheesy, tangy, perfectly sweet. And then the toppings and flavor choices just pulled it all together! Not overpowering at all, and they ALSO tasted exactly the way they should! You can taste every spice that goes into the toppings and flavors. I loved the peach cobbler one, but that banana pudding is a killer too. I'm gonna try cookies and cream or maybe the s'mores one next. I'm excited to see what else they come up with (: the service was excellent, the owner's daughter helped us and she was super kind and helped us pick our first flavors. You can tell a lot of love goes into the craft here <3“

“😍Great Fresh Fruit Juice“

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

“Very delicious and very pleasing presentation to the eye! Definitely would recommend, the wait was a little long but it’s very understandable!! Very satisfied with our choice of coming here for breakfast, we’ll definitely be back!“

“This place has become a favorite because they do two things good; coffee and pastries. The most impeccable combo food, other than ketchup fries. Service was quick and easy they make their own pastries, which is rare for a coffee shop. Bear signature menu is creative and executed well. I went in one of my basic B cookie butter latte ended up getting something else. Mango cold brew. Wow. Two flavor that can meld so nice so nice. mixing the drink so you don’t have the code foam with the ice“

“The beef carpaccio is exemplary and unlike any other carpaccio - definitely a must get! This is the only dish I would return for, especially since I live an hour away. Service was a bit awkward, and the open kitchen + high ceilings made for a very loud dining environment. They didn't even have any music playing. I had to read my boyfriend's lips the entire time we were talking.“

“what a lovely place....of all races...( ;“

“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.“

“Try their Sandwhich. It is sooo delicious. We enjoyed the food. Very clean and it is very cozy. Loved the ambiance. And the owner is very friendly. I will recommend this place to everyone that want to enjoy getting together with close friends. Mom and daughter bonding will be a fun place to go. Hope to go back again soon.“

“When we went to Porto's Bakery and cafe we had no idea that there would be tons of food to select from. We had a cheese & spicy pepper potato ball, and the savory sampler. We loved every thing that we ate. The place was clean and the staff was more than helpful. Can't wait to go back.“

“great service. fun yummy food and reasonable prices. go !“

“Everything it is an awesome place to eat at“

“Really cool spot close to Long Beach City college. Drink menu has a good amount of options. The baristas are nice, offering good service and I got chance to meet the owner, Peter, who's super chill and serves the community proudly!

My iced green tea with lemon and honey was excellent and refreshing.

As I was here, I can tell the customers are community regulars who love coming here and have a relationship with this cafe!“

“Really great food. The best place to have breakfast, lunch and all around good eats.“

“Great friendly vibe and delicious food.“

“I love the Bingsoo here, the portion for the price is great. The service is also great! The owner is very attentive.
A regular size is good for two people. There's plenty of tables, although they're shared with the other restaurant in the dining area. It's located inside the grocery store.“

“I ordered the cinnamon oat latte, and I'm usually not a fan of oatmilk but it was balanced so well against the espresso and the cinnamon that it didn't dominate the flavor. It was a very smooth drink, not too sweet, not too bitter, and not too strong.

My wife got the strawberry matcha latte, and while the matcha was of a decent grade and quality, the strawberry isn't a puree, nor is it like a strawberry creme or milk added in, it's an additive in powder form and she doesn't tend to like that.

Their chocolate croissant, which we shared, was heated up as requested, it came with a line of melted chocolate drizzle on top, which I think was similar to Nutella but less thick in terms of consistency. It was also topped with powder sugar, and it had an inserted line of darker chocolate, maybe 65%, so pretty balanced against the sweetness of everything else involved.

The area the cafe is located in is nice, it's a large promenade with several nicer restaurants (it's also sort of attached to it's restaurant counterpart) and there's plenty to walk around and get some shopping done or walk off the drinks and baked sweets. Plenty of parking as well, and the mall itself is only a block or two north from the cafe.“

“First time here and I HAD to write a review. The vibe is fantastic here, the baristas are incredibly kind, the coffee is so good! And their ice chips! Their ice chips are coffee!
Absolutely will return here and I totally suggest it to anyone in the area.
P.S. I got the Spanish latte and it was awesome!“

“Super fun place! It’s fun for everyone. Delicious donuts!“

“I really love it here. Even when busy the people are so helpful and patient. The drinks I’ve gotten so far have all been delicious and delicately crafted! My favorite is the dirty matcha! It’s a whole experience. The vibes inside are so freaking cute and dainty. Very Vietnamese feeling with the low chairs and tables, gives it some culture and makes it feel homey. Highly recommend to give it a try.“

“Good People Good Coffee Good Times“

“I had the matcha cream brûlée with a snoopy design on top. Super cute! Matcha was alright, tasted fine. Wasn’t a big fan of the honey (I think?) on the bottom though. Kinda overpowering, wish it was maybe mixed into the drink or something.. will come back to try other drinks tho.“
