“Good food, i got the breakfast sandwich bagel, it was made fresh and tasted really good. I loved the fact that they had a wash bin in the store to wash hands instead of having to go to the restroom. I give the sandwich a solid 8/10. I will definitely be back.“

Not only is the food wonderful, but the service and the beautiful personalities of the owner and her son and everybody working there was delightful.
Teşekkür ederim! !!
We'll be back.

“Woke up hung over af and had cravings for some soup. Found this gem through a friend and I lucked out bc I was craving chicken pho, my favorite. Have to say it's my first time in this area (Wrigley Village) but it's nice to know there are still cozy corner stores serving up small specialized menu items. P.S Compliments to the chef for the wonderful bowl of goodness and s/o to my server Nick for being awesome! Definitely will be back to try their other items like their banh mi (that pho French dip sounds🔥🔥)“

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

“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 !“

“Had to stop for a little pick me up after my son's haircut and found this spot nearby for the drive home. First off, I love the name! The shop was clean, had plenty of space to relax or get some work done, and the drinks were delicious. We ordered the banana cream cold brew and the honey lavender latte, both were so good! Customer service was okay, but the drinks definitely made up for it. Glad we found this place!“

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

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

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

“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“

“1000% will be back! I was at the laundromat next door and ran over for a quick lunch while my clothes were in the dryer. The service was impeccable and quick, food was delicious, and portions were spot on. I had the breakfast bowl and an order of mini pancakes and will have enough for a second meal. You can tell it’s all made by hand and with love, fresh and hot. The restaurant was also clean and comfortable with plenty of street parking nearby. There is a laundromat next door too - so you could give yourself a little treat while your clothes are in the dryer.“

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

“First time here and Everything was great food was great and Rob our waiter was amazing. Will be back for sure.“

“Padekwa was an absolute delight! The hazelnut cookie latte, banana nut dirty chai, and vanilla almond pound cake were all incredibly delicious and did not disappoint. Every item was crafted perfectly and full of flavor.

Beyond the amazing coffee and treats, Padekwa has such a unique and welcoming atmosphere. It's the perfect spot for meeting friends, working, or hosting small to mid-size gatherings and events. A true hidden gem that combines exceptional drinks, tasty bites, and a space that brings people together.“

“Wow—this place is truly beautiful.
It carries a distinctly classic European charm, and the displayed tableware was entirely to my taste.

I happened to have a Korean-style snack bar ramen this time, which felt pleasantly nostalgic. Next time, I plan to return to try their cupbap.

One thing to keep in mind is parking—there are only about five free parking spots available, so you will most likely need to find street parking nearby and walk over.

That said, every corner of this place is charming, delicate, and thoughtfully arranged. It is certainly worth a visit at least once.“

“Rarely leave reviews but visiting from NYC and very impressed w/ the quality. I’m pretty picky w/ my coffee and this is a great choice in the area. They even use coffee ice cubes to keep the drinks from diluting… Highly recommend“

“Just had the most amazing experience at Wolf's Brew Coffee! This place is a hidden gem for coffee lovers. The delicious coffee is a treat for the taste buds, and the welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home. ☕️🏠 But here's the best part - we have a market every 3rd Saturday! Sip on your favorite brew and then shop local vendors, supporting our community while spending quality time with friends and family. It's the perfect way to start the weekend. Don't miss out on this incredible spot that combines great coffee, a warm ambiance, and a chance to support local businesses.

“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:)“

“First time being here.
I had cash but they only accept card.
Cameron provided a wonderful experience and a free coffee!
I tipped my smaller bulls but felt bad since I had a large bill (surviving until pay day).

I’ll definitely be back if I’m in the area.
Gracias“

“amazing coffee's, great barista/owner“

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

“😍Great Fresh Fruit Juice“

“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)“

“Great friendly vibe and delicious food.“

“I tell everybody about this place. Hands down the best cheesecake EVER!!! We have been getting cheesecake from Doll Babee for about two years now. Anytime we are in Long Beach we get slices. My favorites are cookies and cream, strawberry crunch and peach cobbler. I had a slice of strawberry crunch last night and I am already thinking of when I’m going to get my next slice. I just wish there was a spot closer to us in Culver City.“

“Family Friendly and quite lovely“

“I ordered a Spanish latte frap with an extra shot of espresso and tasted nothing like coffee. I asked staff if they did put the extra shot of espresso said they did but felt they weren't really trying to resolve it really, i just wanted them to either remake or get a different coffee,but other coffee was good hazelnut iced latte.“

“I have tried many dishes here and some of them are good.

Such as Bún bò huế dry noodle, it tastes amazing. The meat is well-marinated, flavorful, and not too salty.
Seafood tom kha pasta, a delicious sweet and sour flavor. The seafood is fresh and perfectly cooked to my taste.
Last one is the dessert, the passion fruit frozen yogurt is yummy, but it is just a little bit too sweet for my personal.

Overall, the food looks very beautiful and professional. The staff is also very attentive, careful, and friendly.

Great restaurant for couples or family!“

“Went late one evening right before closing and needed a pick me up and got an iced cafe de olla latte. It was delicious. I was there for about 10 minutes talking with the barista and she was so nice and knowledgeable about their business. Let me try some of the cream soda which is A+ made in house child nostalgia. Need to bring my mom back there with me.“

“Such a cute coffee spot with great attention to detail! One of my favorite things is that they can customize the cold foam with any logo or design you want, which makes the drinks feel extra special and perfect for photos. The coffee itself was smooth and delicious, and the presentation was amazing.
Their pastry selection is just as impressive. We tried a few desserts and they were fresh, beautifully made, and tasted as good as they looked. The food menu is also worth mentioning—everything was flavorful and well-prepared.
The atmosphere is cozy, stylish, and perfect for catching up with friends, working, or treating yourself to a coffee date. If you're looking for a café that combines creativity, great drinks, and amazing pastries, this place is definitely worth a visit!
☕🍓🥭🥐 Highly recommend the custom cold foam drinks and pastries—you won't be disappointed.

Loved!!!“

“Amazing little family run shop. They have smoothies and bagels, lots of coffee options and tons of great supplements like mushrooms, turmeric, etc.
cute seating areas, though not too large. Great patio too.
Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Everything nice people good coffee“

“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Knottea Cafe on our interview date. As someone who willingly admits that she’s not the biggest fan of boba teas, I fully admit that I sometimes forget that boba shops do in fact carry other types of drinks. Knottea Cafe in Stanton, CA is exactly one of those shops that makes sure to have a decent variety of beverages to meet any visitor’s needs. They have everything from milk teas to smoothies to a build your own favor option, and of course, they have some wonderful coffee options for the bean lovers out there. A mere ten minutes away from Knott’s Berry Farm and twenty minutes from Disneyland Park, Knottea Cafe is a great pitstop on your way for a fun day at the amusement park.“

“Good People Good Coffee Good Times“

“Really nice place, coconut matcha cloud is sweet and really good, matcha ruby cookie tastes well too.
Triple chocolate cookie is not sweet.
Space is really small but friendly to go by yourself or 1 more person.
Price is fair.“

“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.“

“I was blown away by the kinds of latte art this cafe can make! I got scared to invest in it however. Still - the drinks were so good. Nice and cozy place to grab some lattes or bubble tea :) I appreciate the team spirit that’s shared by the servers. The themes bring joy. Thank you all, and God bless you all+!“
