IT IS BY FAR OUR FAVORITE LOCATION - it is a fun, family owned cafe with an extensive menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can't beat the food, the price and the friendly staff. We are now Mr. G's regulars .“

“MY Best friend went to get himself a turkey sandwich. And two ham sandwich for my daughter and I. He told me all 3 worker's treated him really kind especially the older guy. He said the older gentleman told him to sit down while he prepared his meal and gave him coffee. He said the staff was very kind. Their sandwiches are very good. The best we ever had. So on behalf of my Best friend and myself. Thank you.“

“Cara Mia catered my mother-in-law's memorial service beautifully and on quite short notice. The owner was so incredibly kind and helped us pick out the right things to feed 30+ people, was super responsive via email, and even met us in person when we picked up our order to offer her heartfelt condolences. They went above and beyond to help make this difficult day easier and we were blown away not only by their compassion, but the quality of their baked goods! The memorial guests devoured everything and many of them remarked to us how great the food was :) I can't recommend Cara Mia enough and hope to visit again under happier circumstances. Thank you!!!!“

“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?😋😋“

“Rating for fast food drive thru, this is my go-to McDee's because they're constantly good, friendlystaff, and clean loc. Fries were crispy, coke was perfect, and burger was just that average quality ya expect. Look, it's not high quality restaurant food but it's just fine when ya in a pinch. For a McDee's, it's good.“

“Very good coffee. Wouldn’t say it’s like most other coffees I’ve tried. The flavor wasn’t as distinct to what I imagine a cinnamon roll would be, but it still was a great sip throughout. Great interior too. And the staff that took and made my order was clearly a bit tired or lower energy at first. I didn’t take any offense as it looked like she was a little overworked, but grace and blessings to her. She deserves a good tip every time for making great drinks all around.“

“Love this place! ❤️ Great tea and delicious pastries! The scones are my favorite! Great atmosphere and definitely one of my to-go-to fave places!“

“Great, truly great pourovers. I had the “Big City” and my wife had an Ethiopian, and both were excellent.

Parking is tough. We went around 8am on a Saturday morning so we got the last parking spot.

I bet locals just walk there but we were coming from the airport.“

“Such a wonderful experience! The staff at the counter were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The hot chocolate was rich, delicious, and perfectly prepared. I Highly recommend this spot for excellent service and a warm, cozy atmosphere.“

“Crepe Heaven Café in Lawndale is a brilliant five-star destination that truly lives up to its name. They excel at delivering both authentic French-style crepes and a warm, inviting atmosphere. This is the spot for the freshest, lightest crepes, whether you're craving sweet or savory.
Must-Try Items: For a savory delight, the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Crepe is the perfect start to any morning. For dessert, you absolutely must indulge in their classic Nutella and Banana Crepe, which is pure perfection. Pair any crepe with one of their expertly made Espresso Drinks for the ultimate café experience.“

“cute local coffee shop, friendly & great recommendations“

“My son & I decided to try here for the first time. What a COOL place!!! I love the vibe, the merch, the selections, literally everything about it!!! We will absolutely be back 🥳🥳“

“Great place with parking in the back lot. Plenty of seating. Best to find seating before you order. Menu has lots of options. Ordered Mick's scramble was a lot of food but really delicious. They had a limited selection of herbal tea. They bring your order to you. It can get very busy and noisy. Will go again.“

“Distrito Coffee is the kind of place that feels deeply rooted in its neighborhood, gritty, authentic, and unapologetically itself. The cafemirrors the energy of San Pedro with an atmosphere that’s raw yet welcoming. The decor and music are bold, a little abrasive in the best way, but somehow still inclusive, creating a space where everyone feels like they belong if they’re willing to lean into the vibe.

What truly elevates Distrito is the coffee. The espresso is a beautiful counterpoint to the edgy exterior, warm, nuanced, and surprisingly delicate, with layered flavors that show real care and craft. It’s the kind of espresso that makes you slow down and pay attention.

The baristas are effortlessly cool, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and clearly passionate about what they’re doing. The customers match the energy, artists, locals, and regulars who give the place its soul. Distrito Coffee isn’t trying to be trendy or polished. It’s real, confident, and memorable, a neighborhood café that delivers both character and exceptional coffee.“

“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 !“

“Im excited to write this review of all the rest because this place is what a coffee shop should be! Fast, courteous and very fresh. My vanilla latte was HOT just as i like it.

“Seeing that had high review I decided to come check it out. Just walking in the place you can already determine that are about to wow your taste buds. We got the Blueberry Matcha and a Vanilla matcha they were amazing. Come try this place and dont forget the cream top !!!“

“I absolutely love little European-style coffee shops, and this place hits all the right notes — quality coffee, cozy atmosphere, and great attention to detail.
I ordered a latte with rose syrup, which they make in-house, and it was absolutely delicious — delicate, fragrant, and perfectly balanced. You can really taste the care they put into their drinks.
The staff is very friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. This is the kind of place you want to come back, to sit, relax, and enjoy the moment.
Highly recommend!“

“Check out MAI Coffee House if you’re looking for a cozy coffee spot with great drinks and a relaxing atmosphere. I loved the calm vibes here—such a nice place to slow down and enjoy a thoughtful cup of tea.

I ordered the strawberry matcha with no added sugar, and it was perfect for me. The drink is made with Straus organic milk and their house-made fresh strawberry purée, so you really taste the natural fruit flavor without it being overly sweet. They actually use no fruit syrups or processed sugars, which makes the drink feel clean, refreshing, and well balanced.

I also tried the pistachio bun, which was soft, nutty, and so satisfying alongside the matcha.

Another thing I appreciate is their attention to ingredients: they use high-quality tea and coffee beans sourced from Vietnam, Taiwan, and Japan, along with fresh fruit purées like strawberry, mango, and avocado made in house. You can really taste the difference when everything is made with care.“

“Quaint, cozy, comfortable. Honeycake is probably the best I’ve had. Coffee is mediocre but you’re likely coming for syrniki and comforting environment. Great friendly service that makes you want to come back. 3 tables inside and 4 tables outside.“

“A great cafe in the promenade with stuff for everyone. They have a variety of incredible coffees depending on the mood from delicious sweet lates to bold dark espressos and Americanos. There matcha selection is also on point with a selection of tasty options depending on what you like. The almond croissant is a 10/10 and probably the best I have ever had. No matter when you go in the servers are always very friendly, the drinks comes fast, and the environment feels alive as it is filled with adults talking and students studying among the cute modern interior. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality drink and a quick pastry to eat.“

“amazing coffee's, great barista/owner“

“Feel the love!! Impeccable coffee made with kind hands - fills the soul! ♥️“

“Amazing assortment of breads! So many great pastries! A nice and relaxing atmosphere with friendly service!“

“The blueberry pinwheel was FABULOUS. Strawberry cheese croissant, prefectly flakey. Amazing bakery, giving fresh-baked, homemade, French-countryside vibes. I don’t often review, but when i find such a good small business I have to. Pricing was good too.“

“great breakfast sandwich“

“I had a really great time here and finished my video without any problems. It is definitely a place worth visiting for those who want to balance work and leisure.“

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

“What a hidden gem! Im not a coffee drinker so I look for the other options. Whats great here are..

1. Iced Oolong Ceylon tea
2. Spiced Chai
3. Mango peach passion really

Gonna go back to try other things! The staff is very nice. Support this business!“

“Very good coffee.
My personal favorite is the mocha..which I have to say is excellent most of the time. Most of the time, because I don't feel like different baristas are trained to make it one specific way. Which is what I want in coffee.. consistency.
Luckily, most of the time it's really good.
I love their patio..its among the prettiest I've ever been to..people don't seem to use it more for some reason.“

“The coffee was incredible here and the staff were really friendly. I did wish that they had gluten free options but I understand that that isn’t always an option for cafes. Lovely outdoor area and it connects through an outdoor garden seating area to “pages” a bookstore.“

“Great crew serving great coffee.“

“Amazing authentic baklava. Thank you for sticking it out! 💗💗“

“El café es de verdad muy sabroso estilo Michoacán ahora los molletes! mmmmm ☺️“

“Being in a strip mall is a certain win as it meant dedicated parking spaces and yes it’s free! Also IYKYK, strip mall around this area was typically coming in decent size and so did the parking.

Well-lit venue, plenty of seats and even abundant plugs. As expected, you could see tons of guests were studying and working. Not few even came in bigger group.

Not realizing that they provided detailed version of the menu, I initially was thrown off looking at the wall menu as most of the names weren’t familiar. Thanks to the helpful attendant, making me going for what she said as one of their favorites; the latte served with honey, vanilla, and cinnamon - called as miel. Being the specialist in beans as well, no doubt the coffee was of great quality. One tip, if you weren’t that much into sweet, you might wanna customize it and request for less sweet.“

“So glad this new spot is in Long Beach. The coffee (cold brew and cortados) are exceptional, and my wife was pumped on the selection of wine. I regularly drop i for a coffee and to get a little work done on my laptop.“

“This casual restaurant tucked away upstairs in Nordstrom has a great menu, with French onion soup, a delicious club sandwich, and artichoke dip. Every dish is fresh and delicious! Seasonal menu keeps a rotation of tasty options, including food and drink. We love shopping, dropping in for dinner, and then walking the mall. Great food break that's not as crazy busy as Din Tae Fung, but you'll still want a reservation.“

“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“
