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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“We just ate at the San Juan Capistrano restaurant and it was amazing. Staff is warm friendly and the food was on point! We came for dinner and my steak was done perfectly. My husband had the Bronzino cooked to perfection. I highly recommend!“

“We came most days during our trip to the area. Highlights were the vegan cookies, seasonal rose cardimon lattes hot, the iced vanilla latte and avocado toast. Friendly and creative staff. Also tried the pistachio chocolate croissant and the sweet scone. Everything was awesome! I wouldn’t order the sweet scone again (wasn’t that sweet) but everything overall was so nice and the service was so pleasant. They are a very nice coffee shop“

“Nice patio cafe with great coffee“

“Long overdue review here. Been coming as a local for about 5 years and this spot NEVER disappoints. The food is always full of flavor from burgers, to chorizo tacos, to the pancakes and scrambles. The fries have a great texture and the butter...yes the butter on the pancakes kicks it up a notch or 2. Even their salsas are delish. BUT what's really amazing is the staff! Everyone is so nice and kind. It really feels like a local family owned spot in a small town. And the staff seem to love working their as I have seen the same faces for years...there's even dishes named after a few.

I would recommend this as the best breakfast / lunch cafe in Long Beach.“

“Delicious 100% vegan café with so many options to choose from! They have everything from breakfast burritos and crêpes to an amazing array of desserts, smoothies, and fresh juices. There’s truly something for everyone, and you really can’t go wrong here if you’re vegan. Definitely a spot worth checking out! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-31“

“WOW! This place is absolutely worth going to. The Sunrise Shack is a gem straight from Hawaii. Everything my friend and I ate was so delicious and presented beautifully. I really loved the smoked salmon toast, it was so fresh and flavorful.“

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

“I swear this place is an absolute must-go! The food is incredible, the atmosphere is clean and stylish, and the service is top-notch. All of our plates came out fresh and full of flavor, and the staff made the experience feel personal and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing drinks or sitting down for a full meal, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“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 🌸💕🙏🏼“

“Its a very simple and informative group“

“One of the cutest spaces I’ve ever been too. If you like taking photos with many cute backgrounds this is the place to go. This place has a great atmosphere and the temperature is perfect to stay inside to enjoy your drinks. I would recommend to come here and relax and enjoy some drinks.“

“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.“

“My 3rd time back and again an awesome breakfast. Delicious and will be back again soon!!!“

“If you haven't tried Country Kitchen, you're really missing out! The service is great and the food is so good! I believe they, hands-down, have the best Eggs Benedict, banana pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes and home fries in LB. Helen and Yusi are the best and treat their customers like they're family.“

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

“Especially suitable for families and children to visit, you can touch various marine creatures in the interactive exhibition area touch pool, you can also interact with dolphins, this is a great place, highly recommended“

“great food and awesome service“

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

“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! @__@“

“The food was amazing! Simple But not at the same time. Casual breakfast with mimosas. Totally recommend!“
