Great place for brunch and breakfast. Delicious sandwiches, very friendly service.

The country omelet was great, so was the bacon. Coffee could be stronger. Overall great experience!

We accidentally stumbled upon the small cafe because they had outdoor seating so we could bring our dogs. What a happy surprise! The staff were all so nice and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. Fluffiest pancakes ever! The corn beef hash was sooo good. So happy to have found this cozy little local spot!

After our community & home burned down in the palisades fire, we found the small cafe to be our safe sanctuary in our time of unknown and stress. Esperanza always went above and beyond and made us feel at home. We always look forward to our time here, along with enjoying the delicious food.

Lovely staff (especially Esperanza!) and delicious food. The breakfast burritos are especially yummy!

Giovanni was our server and provided excellent attention when we sat on their front patio. The food was delicious. My husband's over medium eggs were cooked to perfection and my Belgium waffle had generous servings of fresh fruit. If we lived locally, this would be a favorite place that we would eat at frequently.

Very very rude service towards people of color!!! The server/waitress should be ashamed of herself smh.

Esperanza was so kind and a great server. The food was good and the atmosphere is great. Will definitely be coming back!
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.
Great food, great drinks and wonderful staff.
