32 Best Cafes in Long Beach

“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 ambiance and food is absolutely delish“

“Love the people and food sold here are unsurpassed. When they opened there was a sign that explained the pricing reflected and living wage and that the tip was built in to the menu prices. (Most expensive spot for a cap and munchie) then one day a tip line appeared at check out. What?!? I thought it was part of the high price?? Needless to say not tipping puts me in an awkward situation - If I don’t tip is it because I don’t appreciate their cheerful competence? If I add it in now I’m at $16 for a coffee and roll…. I just go someplace else farther but also good (price/budget issues) thanks for letting me vent“

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

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

“AMBIANCE: This coffee shop is small, pretty laidback, and I like their decor & choice of indie music. Honestly I might come in here more to study or relax if I'm nearby.

FOOD/DRINK: Iced ube almond latte - I wasn't expecting it on the menu. Luckily, I was in the mood for ube these past two days so I'm glad I came when I did! It had a pretty purple color on the top and the starchy flavor of ube to cut into the aftertaste of coffee so all things considered, I enjoyed it a lot.

SERVICE: Chris was quick and accomodating for my dairy allergies! He made the latte in a separate steam pitcher and took the time to talk to me about the warming summer weather. Seems like a nice guy, glad he was my barista today.“

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

“Everything it is an awesome place to eat at“

“Stopped into Bliss on my way to get my nails done next door. Got my usual drink—an iced vanilla almond milk latte. This one tasted spectacular and I found out it’s because they make their own vanilla syrup with REAL vanilla beans! Wow! Coming back soon!“

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

“My partner and I were talking a stroll down our new neighborhood, and quite literally SMELLED the delicious food before seeing this place. It was almost cartoon-like the way we just followed our feet toward the warm buttery smell of a local diner.
We probably got lucky since it was just two of us and spots were available at the counter right when we got in!
We sat down, and were greeted right away with a smile and a fresh pot of coffee. Menu is extensive for such a cozy spot! Health is also highlighted in their menu..plenty of options to enhance the menu to your needs. My partner got the turkey omelette sub egg whites, and I got the French toast combo w/ a side of potatoes (10/10).
The atmosphere is amazing, and we love businesses that highlight artists as well (you can scan under some of the art displayed to learn more).
Service is friendly and efficient.
When you walk-in, you get a sense that you’ve been there before. And that’s a very comforting feeling for a first timer (:“

“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.“

“Great Spot! Delicious bagel, Açaí bowl and Coffee- highly recommend!“

“this little place is a big smack a of bohemian chill factor that emanates from your host, Peter . next , the space, sadly, not enougĥ to contain the magic overflowing out its doors, is a piece of a backstage area with the jibe of all are welcome, from scifi nerds to yuppies on bikes and boomers out for a hike, from runners to walkers, even old folks with a walker, Eco Coffee has the cold drinks to chill ya and hot drinks to warm your core. Good food, fresh made. awsome egg sandwich“

“great food and amazing coffee! it's always nice to stop in for a bite to eat.“

“The interior of this coffee shop is really beautiful and thoughtfully designed. They have different areas, each with its own vibe, which makes the whole space feel more dynamic.

I got the maple lavender latte (less sweet), and it came with orange zest on top... didn’t expect to love it as much as I did. It was so creamy and well balanced, with just the right hints of each flavour. Definitely one of the more memorable drinks I’ve had in a while.“

“I've been enjoying their crepes since they were called the Delightful Crepe Cafe and were on Studebaker in Long Beach. I continued coming to them after they moved and changed names because one thing that hasn't changed is how delicious their food is. They are only open until 3 pm so I tend to get food to go, like I did today just before 3. I got their savory and filling chicken marsala crepe, and my favorite, their nutella crepe. Their crepes are light and tender, but what really sets them apart is their amazing sauces. The nutella crepe comes with this berry sauces made with fresh raspberries that is unmatched anywhere. I always ask for extra berry sauce!“

“Really good place to come on a hot day!! Refreshing drinks, ice cream & ice popsicles! 😋 esquite is 👍🏻👍🏻 this Horchata frappe with chocolate was gooooooood!!“

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

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

“Their coffee is amazing. I usually get their vietnamese, chai latte, or any flavored latte with oatmilk. Their pastries and desserts are chefs kiss! They also have a daily special on wednesdays is my fave. Tomato basil soup and half grilled cheese is scrumptious. Lets keep these small business alive and support.“

“Fun course for night golf. Great for beginners.“

“Good salads and loved the pannini sandwiches. Denise provided high quaility customer service with a great smile. My business travel group came back for lunch all 4 days in while in town for her high quality service and great food at a good price.“

“This place is super unique compared to others I’ve been to. With every drink you buy, you get a collectible bottle, and they’re not just for show. The bottles come with sturdy caps so you can reuse them for just about anything. It’s such a fun idea, and honestly, I’d keep coming back just to collect them all!

The boba itself is solid too with good texture and flavor. I came when they had Halloween-themed bottles, which are cute, but I’m really hoping they bring back the exercise-themed ones. Those were amazing! @__@“

“I had the catfish and fries with cornbread it was simply amazing it was so good nice and hot fresh I'll definitely be back again and I will recommend this restaurant to all of my family and friends“

“I like too much the Greek food at George’s , the lamb was delicious as well as the hole plate and wine. Every time that I come to LB from Brasil , I need going and try new culinary features. So yummy“

“Bagels are perfectly cooked and flavorful. Coffee is solid and unfussy.“

“I have been coming to Grounds Bakery & Cafe since the day they opened. They have some of the best fresh breads and pastries. Such a massive selection. My favorite are the sandwiches. Honestly the best tuna sandwich in the world. And literally, I mean the world- I have tried them everywhere. And their is not single place other then grounds that gets them right and perfect. Only thing I miss are the sprouts 😉 Cheers to a lifetime of Grounds 🌸💕🙏🏼“

“Had lunch here while visiting Long Beach for the day. The exterior is not very inviting but what waits inside was an incredible surprise. Some truly terrific vegan Mexican food. My guest had a fajita burrito with vegan chicken and green sauce. I had burrito with Tempeh and red sauce. The plates arrived with very generous portions and arranged on the plate like a work of culinary art. I knew then that this was going to be something special and it was. So delicious! I couldn't finish it all and I don't normally get a box to take food home. This time I did, it made a great dinner tonight. There was a case filled with tasty looking desserts. We got 3 to go, a brownie, carrot cake, and a Coconut cake. They where all incredible. I can't wait to eat here again. The service was excellent too. This place is truly a rare find and I have added it to my list of favorite vegan restaurants, I think it just became #1.“
