It really is the best breakfast in the area. Love the pancakes. Hint...ask for the hash browns well done. Buttery deliciousness!

Unfortunately I can not recommend. In my opinion this place is a bit of a hole in the wall. Took a long time to get food, then when we received it was cold. Very basic menu with nothing really outstanding. There are lots of great cafes and restaurants on second street, this one is definitely at the bottom of my list. And Belgian waffle was hard as a rock. Talked to manager about it who came off somewhat rude. Why waste money? The Library in Long Beach has great pastries and coffee. And there's some other great spots.

The Small Cafe hit the spot! Just had the breakfast burrito and it was very good. Why just four stars? Because that's all I had. Can't wait to go back for more.
The host was very friendly and attentive. CO owner was very friendly and approachable as she visited with the customers.
I had latte and was so good breakfast burrito was perfect. Vanessa was the sweetest hostess.

Plenty of seating indoors and out! Inside: there have one larger booth (fits maybe 5-6) then two other normal size booths and many tables inside and out!
Clean, food is pretty good, friendly and quick service! I tried a vanilla cappuccino, it was good!
Prices are very fair. They have a restroom inside that was very clean and well stocked. It’s on the smaller side so restroom is single toilet and sink.
Plenty of parking located outside restaurant in parking lot or on street - there is two hour free parking.
Keep in mind they close about 2PM (:

I’ve eaten here on two separate occasions, both on the weekend. One time I sat against the wall and another time in the middle of the restaurant. The acoustics are terrible and the place is super loud. The food is very average. Not a long wait either time.
They seem to have a lot of regulars who were friendly with the staff.

It is a cute little cafe, a nice place to have coffee and hangout. The food could use improvement, the Belgian waffle was dry and not crispy at all and the bagel did not have cream cheese and the scramble needed more seasoning.
