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

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

“A delicious made from scratch falafel in a great sandwich. Friendly staff. Since my first review I have returned and tried their Chicken and Cheese sandwich. Even better then the falafel sandwich! It is a chicken salad sandwich with lots of yummy chicken salad and Swiss cheese. I had their regular French fries 🍟 Very tasty. Again the staff was very friendly and helpful. Did I mention the tasty chicken?😋😋“

“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 Crepe Heaven Special Crepe was exactly what I was craving! The egg was cooked perfectly. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We also loved the banana almond honey crepe. Best $2.50 coffee ever!!! Clean & comfortable Service was top notch too! Highly recommend!“

“nice relaxing atmospuhere“

“Serendipitously, I saw information about this place when I was randomly scrolling online.
The food was excellent. I ordered two items to go, the avocado toast and a breakfast burrito. (I should have taken pictures because the items were beautifully presented in addition to being delicious! 🤓)
Beautiful atmosphere. The decor is inviting. Very clean.
It fulfilled and then exceeded my expectations.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Además de lo delicioso que estaban los Shucos y los Chai tea que disfrutamos el ambiente es muy agradable y su personal muy amigable. Sí lo recomiendo“

“Got here right when they opened (accidentally) and decided to give it a try since there was no line ! I ordered an iced americano and it was solid. Price was fair. They had a really cool clock on the wall and my barista was super kind. I’d definitely go back !“

“Family Friendly and quite lovely“

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

“Wildflower Cafe was a great place to bring the family! I love that they have gluten free options which is important to us! We had a mix of breakfast and lunch. The kids enjoyed their gluten free pancakes and I had the Wildflower Arugula salad. It was so good and so fresh! Great atmosphere as well and we loved our server!“

“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.“

“I was in LB to explore and came across this boba shop. They have some of the cutest decor! I love the Sun Wukong figure, it reminds me of my childhood haha. The drinks are 🤌🤌🤌 so good. I tried their dragonfruit matcha and it was delicious! They were also very nice when I came in. There is seating: two tables w/ 3 chairs each and more high chairs on the wall. There is wifi and outlet if you need to study! Theres also a photo opportunity, you pay and get a print out! There is also a mini claw machine :)“

“PECLA is a hidden gem in the South Bay Area. The services is exceptional and the food is great. We had the gem salad with Salmon and the 917 burger with fries. The Salmon was a bit under cooked, so next time I'll order it well done. They run the Porsche cars on the track 3X a day, 9am, 12:30, 2p, but you should check for exact times. Be sure to get there early to get a seat at the window. Highly recommend PECLA & 917 restaurant!“

“Yellow Vase is a charming spot known for its cozy atmosphere and fresh, flavorful dishes. The menu highlights seasonal ingredients with a creative twist, offering a nice mix of brunch and lunch options. The presentation is thoughtful, and the flavors are balanced. Service tends to be friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. It's a great place for casual meetups or a relaxed meal. Prices are reasonable for the quality and ambiance. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy fresh, thoughtfully prepared food in a warm setting.“

“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!“

“This is a good choice when you want shave ice dessert the flavors are natural I’m allergic to a lot of colors and they don’t add any additives so if you were sensitive as I am, I has not reacted to anything that I have order there, which is very common with this desert. they had lots of colors this place doesn’t.“

“My family and i stopped for lunch. The chorizo omlett is delish. Great service. My toddler loved the waffles.“

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

“When looking for a proper boba and smoothie place, its a hit or miss on most as they have too many options to qualify as quality product and or they basic and like any other place. 😁BERRY AND BOBA is a unicorn of a shop.

The Tropical smoothie with almond milk,was fantastic and refreshing. The Big 4 juice was delightful as well. The Sfiha was a new experience and had me chomping on something yum.

Brazilian freshness and wonderful customer service. Definitely a hidden gem“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Love their food! Such a hidden gem of Gardena. I have their food at least once a week (especially after a hectic week)

I haven’t try their phở but I recommend try their bun bo hue, my quang, banh mi, and duck noodle haha“

“Delicious food and beautiful decor!“

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

“Nice patio cafe with great coffee“

“음료가 맘에 들어요.“

“Absolutely friendly staff. The owner/manager, Chris, reminds me of the actor August Schellenburg who played Randolph in the movie "Free Willy." I absolutely love their Poke Plate 🍽️ with Mixed Greens! That & a banana 🍌 strawberry 🍓 smoothie 🥤is my favorite go to meal! I give it a 10 Star ⭐✨ Rating!“

“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.“

“Been coming to North End since 2010. Best gem of the south bay. Some favorites from the lunch menu are the Manhattan, el guapo, Alicia, bolsa chica. The cobb salad. We also get fuego burger or the Jimmy salad. Get the breakfast potatoes too. Pretty awesome place and is right by the strand. My order lately is Bolsa Chica sandwich or old Cobb salad.“

“Beautiful beachside cafe and retail shop located on Pier Ave in a historic building.. they have a beautiful patio and also a small dining room inside. Enter left for cafe, right for retail store.. excellent baked goods, sandwiches, salads, and plenty of great beverage selections. The egg white breakfast burrito was veggies rather than the typical breakfast meats and it was great. The chicken breast sandwich on the buckwheat bread was toasted to perfection and super tasty. The atmosphere is very charming beachside historic and reminds you of the age of Hermosa Beach.. original flooring and trim have been preserved from one of the oldest original buildings in town. The service was friendly and efficient with honest recommendations and everyone came out fast and perfecto even though they were nice and busy on a Saturday. Gum Tree is a great place to sit and relax, have a nice meal or a snack, shop for cool and unique housewares, gifts and beach related treasures. Located on the south side of Pier Ave between Monterey and Manhattan.“

“I love it here not only because the pastries are delicious and the teas are so flavorful, but mostly I love stopping by here because of the amazing service & friendly faces that the employees like Emily always have no matter what time of day I've stopped by at!! Even on major holidays like thanksgiving she and the other employees are still so nice and happy! I highly recommend stopping by for pistachio & chocolate macrons + a Strawberry Hibiscus Tea !!!!!!!!:)“

“Their 2 bags for $30 is a good deal. They also shipped it out quickly and we received it quickly. Excited to try it.“

“Purchased an assortment of baked goods at the end of the day and everything was still extremely fresh and delicious. I let the associate choose so the assortment was a surprise. Jelly filled and custard filled were worth their weight in gold! TMJ is very generous with the filling. Cinnamon roll and glazed donuts were light, fluffy and perfectly glazed. Chocolate buttermilk bar was perfection. The kids loved the iced cake donuts. I will certainly purchase again and am looking forward to trying other items on the menu.“

“great food for Hawaiian food“

“First visit and was not dissatisfied. Heard about the place through friends and the Yelp reviews backed up the claims. Nice gem of a place… I had the Protein Scramble and my wife had the Waffles! All the food was amazing and made to order🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 A comfortable lounge environment, tasty food, and great staff making sure we have everything we need. Definitely will be heading back…….with friends and family…“

“Great place to walk to and enjoy good food & treats.“

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

“Very pleasant staff and greeted with a huge smile. Food was fast and good at a reasonable price.

As an update, we actually came back or breakfast and we were equally impressed with the food (combo plate & bagel sandwich) with good coffee. Would definitely choose this over the over priced cafe at Holiday Inn. It is only 10 min walk from Holiday Inn“

“cute local coffee shop, friendly & great recommendations“

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

“Good basic service, good food, and walking distance from our motel. They were busy, and that's also good to see. They were recommended by a fellow guest our motel and we were pleased. One of our party sampled the chilli and pronounced it good. The others had various burgers, all of which satisfied.“

“I wanna say great service. Chloe greeted me with a smile. Not only that she gave me the choices of the type of chocolate to get for my mocha. So refreshing to have such wonderful service. God bless you, Chloe. God bless clutch Coffee...“
