“This is my favorite restaurant of the year! Exceptional food and service, and I love the ambiance of being in a converted home. The menu is almost constantly changing (so plenty of temptation to go back).The first time I visited Heritage I booked a return trip as soon as I left the restaurant. Fortunately (for my bank account, if not my taste buds) I live a couple of hours away, otherwise who knows how often I'd be there.A must try!“
“#UbuntuCafe is located in the #BelmontHeights community of #LongBeach #90814. It is well known to all the locals as “The Greatest Neighborhood Cafe”. #RTR knows it as a great place to come enjoy delicious food & enjoy the weather in the outdoor open setting. I always order the chicken bowl! Yummy Yummy~ See you here!“
“Nice place, great food, delicious pastries, the staff could be more knowledgeable of the items they carry. I used the restroom while there there was no toilet paper on any of the stalls ( maybe because they were soon to close)Overall, we need more Porto's in other cities, delicious.“
“Jongewaard BAKE N BROIL is a hidden gem; in Bixby Knoll area of Long Beach; that took me straight back to the 50s with its quaint diner charm and mouthwatering treats. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by friendly faces and a warm atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Let's talk about the desserts - oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The Red Velvet cake stole the show with its rich flavor and perfect texture, earning the top spot on my list. But the German Chocolate cake wasn't far behind, delivering a decadent experience that left me craving more. And don't even get me started on the lemon cream cheese pie - it's a slice of heaven on a plate! But it's not just about the sweets at Jongewaard BAKE N BROIL. Their breakfast options are equally divine, especially the lemon blueberry pancakes, which were an absolute delight. And for those craving something heartier, the steak and eggs breakfast hit the spot, while the burgers and onion rings satisfied my savory cravings perfectly. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the welcoming atmosphere and the owner's commitment to giving young employees a chance to shine. It's refreshing to see a business that values community and opportunity as much as they value delicious food. Whether you're looking for a nostalgic trip down memory lane or simply craving some incredible comfort food, Jongewaard BAKE N BROIL is the place to be. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Anyone saying otherwise is a hater! Support local businesses.“
“They have a variety of donut flavors and the donuts are always good. Sometimes there are special items available in addition to their regular menu.Dietary restrictions: Dairy-free and veganParking: There are a few parking spaces available shared for several stores. During the week it may be more difficult to get an open space.“
“Make sure you make reservations in advanced or be ready to wait an hour at least during dinner times. Great area to walk around and plenty of bars to grab a drink while you wait. Parking will be tough so make sure you give yourself extra time and may the odds be ever in your favor...If it's your first time get the bacon deviled eggs, prime rib dip with mac & cheese and finish it off with their butter cake. Trust.Dinner here comes to around $40-$50/person but well worth for any special occasion.Shoutout to Christian who provided awesome service during our dinner.“
“People that give low star reviews to places because “the line is too long” or “I couldn’t find parking” are annoying. Are you expecting a coffee shop to be empty in the morning??The drinks and food are great, the staff is friendly. 5 stars.“
“I am a lover of Italian food! Overall the place was good. Everything seemed fresh and had good flavor. We ordered the burrata appetizer, which was decent. I appreciated that they had 2 types of gluten free pasta. They made the other pastas in house. Worth a try if you are craving Italian food and are in the area.“
“First time here and they nailed it. Got the Bolognese sauce, very tasty and the pasta, curly long ones, were excellent. The wine did not really pair with the red sauce, a Spanish dry red...Water next time perhaps. Will definitely return to this spot! The bread was very tasty ....after we had them cut it for us.“

“Stumbling upon this gem was like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow - I needed a birthday cake for my hubby and friend of mine, pronto! Despite the last-minute scramble, I managed to slide in an order just in time. The lady behind the counter was an absolute delight, showering me with ideas for cake colors and fillings. Fast forward to pick-up time, and holy moly, I was floored! This cake wasn't just a cake - it was a work of edible art! The colors popped, the decorations were cuteness overload, and let me tell you, it tasted like a slice of happiness. I lost count of the compliments, and everyone wanted to know the secret cake haven I'd uncovered. Bottom line? This spot is a cake lover's dream come true!“
“Great place. Awesome for gluten free.The Tea Leaf Salad is a MUST and the take-home kit to make later is just as amazing. The staff here is so kind and the atmosphere is truly family-style friendly. Another favorite is the pork/pumpkin stew…good anytime of year.“
“Everything here was chef’s kiss! My visit was in person and I ordered the Beets Me Burger! The Beets Me burger was so delicious and I loved the fact that it was made from mushrooms and beets. The flavor was amazing and the brioche bun was nicely toasted. I ordered the Biscuit Bomb and through UberEats and it is The Bomb! The biscuit was nice and soft and all of the flavors paired well together. The Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup did not disappoint! I will definitely be back for another visit whenever I’m in this area!“
“The food and service are great! I love their house salad with pickled vegetables. The pasta is excellent and the Italian sausage is a little spicy and yummy. My boyfriend ordered the veil and enjoyed it (I wouldn't try it). The bread is amazing!! They get the bread from a local sandwich shop that is famous for their bread! Highly recommend.“
“I always like the Hangout. Love looking out the windows and seeing the ocean while eating a very tasty meal. The staff members are very friendly and the service is good. Bloody Mary's are a nice way to top off a great dining experience.“
“Never had a bad meal there. Basic breakfasts to brunch items to just getting baked goods. It never disappoints. Ignore the folks that say it's too expensive. It's no worse than elsewhere of the same quality. If you want cheap items go to Dennys. If you wanted cafe and bakery level food...pony up. It's cute, great servers, and delicious baked items. Their double chocolate chocolate chip muffin warmed up is sinfully good. I'll say the best time to go is not on weekend when the crowds and cyclist clubs take over the outside. Hit it up on a day off and then walk down to the pier to work off your muffin.“
“It's been a few years since we'd been here...why??!!! It was so great. Both the panang curry and yellow chicken curry are so flavorful with just the right amount of heat. Beautiful presentation as well! Kind customer service. Will be back soon!“
“Visiting Long Beach and had Door Dash deliver a couple of cupcakes to our hotel. I had the orange & cream cheese cupcake - my daughter had the red velvet. She loved hers and I think mine was probably the best cupcake I have ever had. Cake was super moist and packed with flavor. The cream cheese frosting was so creamy and it had white chocolate curls on top. Amazing!“
“Laurie's has this vegan chocolate cutie pie thing in a jar... it is to DIE FOR! So good! Folx here were happy to point out the available vegan items to us. We appreciated the time they took with us. The place smelled great and was lovely to visit. The parking and some of the local drivers are terrible though. Took us a literal hour to find parking--and some weirdo followed us in his car!“
“My daughter went to SIX bakeries across Southern California for cake tastings. Six. Not kidding. She was very excited about Sweet Taders and thought she finally found the cake she wanted. I was nervous because even though the cake at the tasting g was good, replicating it for a 4-tier cake is very different than serving a smaller slice at a tasting. Holy cow! Not only was the cake itself absolutely gorgeous, the taste was out-of-this world. The cake was moist and light. The filling was creamy and the buttercream frosting was amazing. The overall flavor was light, not too sweet and FRESH! I have never had such an amazing wedding cake ever!! I can't recommend this amazing company enough. From the tasting, through the design process, to the final product - Samantha and her team at Sweet Traders did an amazing, incredible job.“
“Amazing service and great food at such an good price. They offered us samples of their dishes and offered to alter spice levels for the Al LA carte items. They also filled the containers to the brim and were friendly and kind the whole time. Will definitely come back for the best Indian food nearby!“

“Love this place as a great treat to take my grandkids : ))Delicious flavors to choose from and a very nice buffet selection of toppings. Always clean and well stocked. The owner is very nice and personable. Thank you for providing such a great mainstay for our community!“
“From the first visit, Civitas has been our favorite ever since! Whenever we are out of town and try another coffee shop we always compare that coffee shop to Civitas. "Is it as good as Civitas?" The answer is very rarely a "yes". Our regular order is an unsweetened iced oat milk latte! And I would like to say that it doesn't give us "that first sip feeling", it gives us "that every sip feeling"! Wonderful baristas, delicious coffee, and reasonable prices! :)“
“If you haven't ordered a cake from here Go! NOW! They are so moist and delicious. We have ordered them at work for coworkers birthday and it comes with a sign and a bow. So festive and special. The cakes are also ready same day or you can order ahead. My favorite flavors are chocolate,lemon, and carrot.“
“Found this hidden gem last year! I can't even list everything they have just go! You will not be disappointed. Gluten free corn free dairy free etc. I don't know how she does it but it's all delicious! They will even put your name on a list and call you when they're making special things. Just go!“
“We came to celebrate my son's birthday and our server Marvin was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, friendly and all around a great guy. His attention to anticipation our needs every moment of our dinner - Thank you Marvin for making this celebration very enjoyable“
“Love this BBQ place!!! The smell as I walked in brought back great memories of having a backyard bbq. The staff was great was greeted and helped out by Manda and the owner. Awesome hospitality from both of them. Very attentive to my needs. I had the brisket and a side of coleslaw, by far the best brisket I’ve had as most tends to be dry and tough. Santa Maria bbq is spot on cant wait to be back to try some of there other menu items as they all look good. Great sauces as well i had the mango habanero and some sweet brown sugar sauce. If your craving bbq you have to come check this place out.“
“Good 1st time here. Dog friendly seating, which was a BIG plus, considering I brought my dog with me. Service was pretty good here! The food was good, but my partner said his plate wasn't the greatest ( steak, mashed potatoes & veggies ). I had no complaints, My kid got chicken tenders & fries. I got the French dip with Au Jus sauce & fries....sooo good! I recommend this spot most definitely, I'll be back to try other plates.“
“I am so confused by these reviews regarding the owner. I received nothing but the best from Leslie. She was not available on our wedding date and I was really sad about it but she suggested I have the cake delivered the day before. It was so great of her to fit me in and work with me to make sure I got the best damn cake for my wedding. I wasn't sure I wanted a cake but when she sent me samples I literally wanted to have a 6 tier cake so we didn't have to choose. It was some of the best cake I have ever tried! All were amazing. We went for banana creme and coconut passion fruit which were BEYOND. So sad she doesn't have a store front anymore! Will definitely be ordering cake for every anniversary if she will let us!“
“great food, great vibea! we got the family style and it was so good, highly recommend the lamb chops! someone in our group cried because the food was so good. the waitstaff was so nice and helpful (especially Fabio) and it was a great night, highly recommend!“
“It’s a cool concept and convenient for a quick meal pick up. It’s not a sit down restaurant, it’s like a collective of restaurants, like a food court but not because there’s only a couple places to sit and eat. You can order food online or at the site and pick up there. I didn’t know it was set up this way so it was confusing when driving there and trying to find it. The building says Daisy on it, you can park and go in.“
“We were looking for a really good taco shop and we found it! The service was fantastic, the food portions are huge, the taste is authentic, and the prices are fair! We will definitely go back to Taco Shore the next time we are in Long Beach!“
“I enjoyed the Mediterranean bowl, I made a special request to change the rice from brown to white. They accommodated my request with no hesitation. This was my firstvisit, ordering was easy, sometimes when I go somewhere new it can be complicated.All the employees were nice. We will definitely go back.“
“I stopped at this Korean influenced coffee shop on my way between LA and the court in Westminster. Obviously the name is a little...uh...unusual but when you walk in its clearly a coffee shop with food. Big interior with plenty of space to sit. Eclectic, Korean influenced drink menu. My cappuccino was very good. Some exotic Korean pastries, a sausage embedded croissant(pictured) and like savory cheese buns? I would need to be in a mood for one of those. Instead I got an almond croissant, which looked pretty standard but turned out to be quite delicious. Like unexpectedly delicious. It was empty at 8 am, hopefully they get a student crowd at some point?Vegetarian options: CroissantDietary restrictions: Bread and coffeeParking: Free shopping center lot.Kid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Super cute spot in Huntington Beach, Whip is an absolute gem to chill at with their amazing space and offerings! I've tried their various Vietnamese Coffees with different foams and definitely enjoy the unique flavors like ube and creme brulee! They've got yummy snacks to pair with them as well along with the space to accomodate groups to hang or if you just wanna sit down for that aesthetic cafe vibe. Definitely need to check out their high tea eventually but this spot is a must check out!“
“Went to Katella Deli tonight, for the 1st night of Passover, and ordered the Passover Roasted chicken. Food itself was excellent but only received a half of a matzo to go with the meal. When Giuseppe, who works in the kitchen, dropped off our meals we asked him if we could bring us another piece of matzo. He immediately came back with more. He didn't have to do that but such a little act of kindness really meant a lot to us and made our Passover meal all the special. Thank you Giuseppe, you made our night!“
“Ate here two nights in a row while staying at the hotel next door! Loved the sushi and dragon bowl was amazing! The salmon nigiri was super fresh as well. Can't forget the nice music they played adding to the vibes. This will definitely be my go to sushi spot next time I'm in town!“
“Gemmae's has always been our go-to when it comes to family parties. We usually order the ube cheesecake and lumpia for pickup. The flavor and quality are always consistent, so we always go back. The online ordering system is very convenient; thus, picking it up at specific times has never been a problem! They use real ube, not those powder kinds they use at boba shops. I know.. I grew up mixing ube during fiestas in Silang, Cavite. The lumpia is excellent, too! The size is bigger than the typical lumpia from other Filipino joints. The inside of Gemmae's is excellent. However, there is no indoor dining, and it's solely for pick-up. One thing to note is the parking. It's situated in a small lot and can get full quickly. But there's plenty of free parking in the street. I will keep coming back here for our orders. The customer service is excellent, and the food/dessert is fantastic!“
“Some of my favorite yellow curry and pad thai around! I always get the peanut sauce to add to my noodles. They always remember to fry the tofu when I put it in the description. I usually doordash but I walked in the other day and it was so nice inside! My only wish would be to have a little more rice come with the curry.“
“I had chicken waffles and a burger, and the server was very friendly I think the chicken would taste better if it was slightly salty and without the seasoning (false?) haha. The atmosphere is nice and clean, but the parking lot is a bit small.“
“I love donuts. They are delicious, enriched, simple and affordable. It is what all donuts should be. This shop lives up to that expectation. The yeast donuts are fluffy and have a subtle crunch from the cooking process. The croissants are huge and generously filled. The jalapenos had a nice kick. The owners a husband and wife were both in the shop. She handles transactions with good customer service and he loaded the case. It's a labor of love and much respect to this donut shop in Long Beach. It is worth the visit for a solid donut and coffee.Parking: It was raining and early when I went. Parking could be difficult when all businesses are open.“
“I purchased their granola today from the farmers market in Pasadena and it is absolutely delicious. I will most definitely be going back next Saturday to purchase more. The best I've ever had. No sugars or added sweetener what so ever. Delicious, plain, natural roasted granola.“
“Saint and Sinner bakery exceeded my expectations for my baby shower cake. Wonderful customer service. They crafted a beautiful and simple design that perfectly captured the occasion, all while being super affordable. The buttercream frosting was not only delicious but also impeccably smooth and creamy. It was a hit with all the guests, and I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. My Saint and Sinner bakery is definitely my go-to for all my future cake needs!"“
“Sweet tooth enthusiast beware! Absolutely awesome selection and it's really good. I was craving a late night sweet something and just google sweets and this spot showed up. Open late and dunno why it's rated as low as it is. I almost wish I didn't find this spot lol bc I'll be coming back, that's for damn sure!“
“Nice neighborhood Italian deli and fast casual restaurant. Really missed the original Lascari's on Whittier Blvd so we gave this deli location a try. Was surprised at the pasta and pizza options. The pasta dishes and chicken piccata were all pretty good. The minestrone soup is excellent. Pizza was also delicious. Large selection at the Deli. Great local place for a quick bite with reasonable prices.“
“Friendly staff with personal experience instead of a commercial check in and out. Any special event- Valentine's Day, birthday, holidays- this is the place to go. They have cakes on hand ready to personalize if you need something for a day of special events. The cookies are special as well as cupcakes. Nothing here will disappoint your taste buds.“
