50 Best Cafes near Paramount

“Nice people and good donuts at a fair price“

“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 all around food choices with excellent quality! All the staff are personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great service with great prices!! Love Appu’s“

“Highly recommend. Service and food are both great!“

“nice relaxing atmospuhere“

“I have been trying to get in severally times but fail due to overcrowded not taking reservations. Other than that, good restaurant for breakfast n lunch, closed at 2pm“

“The staff was really rude, it was a guy in the back just ignoring the fact I had just got there to order... and didn't even greet or anything just stared and continued to do whatever he was doing.. wait for about 20mins before leaving.. I even had eye contact with him😒😒“

“es el mejor lugar los mejores cafes y postres ynoseles olvide llevar su rikisimo pastel selos recomiendo. está rikisimo todo“

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

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

“I haven’t tried the food yet but the cappuccino was very good and the service was excellent. Cool spot except the seating is not so comfortable so not somewhere I would come work but a nice option for espresso drinks in a cool location, with a public park just 10 yards away“

“Very healthy and delicious breakfast/lunch sandwiches (organic produce), salads and Coffee ☕️...and pastries...LAUSD Coffee cake the BEST 😋😋“

“The banana matcha latte had a rich, deep flavor and wasn’t overly sweet. I really liked that! I also liked that it didn’t have too much ice.
The music and overall vibe were great, but it was a bit too cold inside, even with my jacket on.
Still, I’d love to come back for coffee next time. The staff were kind too. Thank you! :)“

“I liked the staff. Very clear communication and recommendations, easy service.

Had a pour over that was expertly made and served at the right temperature. Didn't need to add anything. Black is best.

I went in the afternoon and there was a steady flow of customers, but at the same time it was chill in the back where I had a lunch meeting.

Thumbs up!!“

“Yes yes, another Country/Chicken Fried Steak breakfast 😋 this time at the mom & pop shop Sunny Side Cafe in Seal Beach. They took over a defunct Denny's and are making it their own.

They served some of the darkest orange egg yolks I've yet to see at a diner/cafe. Super dark orange eggs yolks usually signify the hen had a diet rich in carotenoids, which are pigments found in plants like marigolds, alfalfa, and other foraged foods. They were deliciously sticky. And instead of a toast option, they bring you a homemade biscuit, halved, then griddled on the cut side (nice touch) and served with heavily cinnamoned whipped butter.

The stand out for me were the hash browns, nicely crispy yet tender within and I'm fairly certain they were flat topped using clarified butter. They were incredibly delicious just on their own.

Friendly service rounded out a very nice meal. It's barley 10 min from home so I'll definitely be back.“

“First off make sure to park in the public lot to avoid going around in circles.

I found this spot when I was looking for a place to take my sister to eat. When we saw the menu we were excited and it didn’t disappoint.

We decided to do breakfast today and go back for lunch next time.

The place was clean and the customer service was excellent.

Our food was freshly prepared and so delicious.
My waffle was crispy outside and fluffy inside with a buttery flavor. My potatoes were seasoned well with actual seasoning not just salt and oil. The eggs were cooked well too.

I seriously had a great breakfast.

Her avocado toast looked great and she said all the ingredients tasted fresh and ripe without being mushy and the bread had a great texture and wasn’t affected by the moisture of the vegetables.

We 100% are coming back. You should also try it out, totally recommended.“

“I was craving cheesecake so I made my husband get me some from here because the reviews. I wouldn't say it's the best I've had but it's good. Got the strawberry crunch and the banana. The banana was a lil too sweet for me and the cinnamon on it was too much for me. Overall it's good but not the best like ppl say here.“

“Family Friendly and quite lovely“

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

“Todo es saludable y son amables“

“😍Great Fresh Fruit Juice“

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

“The breakfast burrito and orange juice hit the spot this morning. The staff is very friendly and hard working. Why wait for those long coffee drive thru lines? You can pick up your coffee here quickly. Support your local small business in La Palma!!!“

“Try their Sandwhich. It is sooo delicious. We enjoyed the food. Very clean and it is very cozy. Loved the ambiance. And the owner is very friendly. I will recommend this place to everyone that want to enjoy getting together with close friends. Mom and daughter bonding will be a fun place to go. Hope to go back again soon.“

“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.“

“I love me a dinner (lunch) & a show! Thank you for accommodating us with the window seat as requested! So glad a spot opened up, I've been wanting to take my bf here. We had their wagyu 917 burger with their duck fat fries upgrade, salmon with risotto, and roasted carrots. Although their roasted carrots were a bit too oily, it was still really good. A medium done on the wagyu burger - so juicy and tasty! Not dry at all. Their salmon was okay (could've used a little more seasoning or some lemo zest) but the risotto under was great, needed more of it! Their Porsche-shaped butter along with the warm pretzel sticks was okay, it was a cute presentation though (just not a pretzel bread girly). Their staff was very accommodating and always checked up on you. And you can't go wrong with watching the cars just drive around the tracks and drifting while you eat. Definitely recommend!“

“Everything it is an awesome place to eat at“

“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“

“While Porto’s is well-known, the Downey location feels a little less crowded than others. The guava cheese pastry is always a winner—flaky, buttery, and sweet. I tried their Cuban sandwich for lunch, and it was huge and satisfying. The lines move quickly thanks to the efficient staff. Definitely worth the drive for affordable, delicious baked goods“

“Delicious!!! Definitely coming back. Great friendly service!…🥰“

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

“I love the Bingsoo here, the portion for the price is great. The service is also great! The owner is very attentive.
A regular size is good for two people. There's plenty of tables, although they're shared with the other restaurant in the dining area. It's located inside the grocery store.“

“I ordered the cinnamon oat latte, and I'm usually not a fan of oatmilk but it was balanced so well against the espresso and the cinnamon that it didn't dominate the flavor. It was a very smooth drink, not too sweet, not too bitter, and not too strong.

My wife got the strawberry matcha latte, and while the matcha was of a decent grade and quality, the strawberry isn't a puree, nor is it like a strawberry creme or milk added in, it's an additive in powder form and she doesn't tend to like that.

Their chocolate croissant, which we shared, was heated up as requested, it came with a line of melted chocolate drizzle on top, which I think was similar to Nutella but less thick in terms of consistency. It was also topped with powder sugar, and it had an inserted line of darker chocolate, maybe 65%, so pretty balanced against the sweetness of everything else involved.

The area the cafe is located in is nice, it's a large promenade with several nicer restaurants (it's also sort of attached to it's restaurant counterpart) and there's plenty to walk around and get some shopping done or walk off the drinks and baked sweets. Plenty of parking as well, and the mall itself is only a block or two north from the cafe.“

“Good People Good Coffee Good Times“

“Super fun place! It’s fun for everyone. Delicious donuts!“

“Satisfacción 🤤💪🏼 got my dessert fix and cool off happy.“

“I had the matcha cream brûlée with a snoopy design on top. Super cute! Matcha was alright, tasted fine. Wasn’t a big fan of the honey (I think?) on the bottom though. Kinda overpowering, wish it was maybe mixed into the drink or something.. will come back to try other drinks tho.“

“The best boba! 🤤 Convenient! the best place to find snacks, this is the PLACE; when I’m craving for a good street Mexican food; banana split- some fresh cooked corn with butter 😍(esquites) fresh strawberries with cream. And fresh healthy juice.“

“Been passing by this place for a few weeks and finally decided to give there breakfast tortas a try before work. And me and my partner have been going whenever we can. I get the chorizo w/egg he gets the ham w/egg. Everything taste good the bolillo taste good on its own. Plus we recently tried there Guatemalan breakfast everything on that plate was amazing. I think she said they only make it on the weekends. But so worth. Plus there sweet bread and donuts are also very tasty. Owners are very nice people very welcoming and friendly. Can’t wait to try there other items ☺️“

“This is a good choice when you want shave ice dessert the flavors are natural I’m allergic to a lot of colors and they don’t add any additives so if you were sensitive as I am, I has not reacted to anything that I have order there, which is very common with this desert. they had lots of colors this place doesn’t.“

“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.“

“Everything nice people good coffee“

“Nice patio cafe with great coffee“

“Simone is amazing….so friendly and welcoming, she really makes you feel at home. All the food was delicious! The pancakes (not pictured) were perfectly fluffy and flavorful. We also tried their new Ube crêpes, and they were incredible….just the right amount of sweetness, and the coconut flakes added a nice little crunch. The ambience is great too ….a cool, comfy spot with plenty of patio seating.

I also love that they use alkaline water for their coffee….it tastes so much smoother and less acidic …..and even the water they serve is super refreshing. Overall, the staff is wonderful, and everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommend!“

“음료가 맘에 들어요.“

“A great Christian store with lots of Bibles, books, cards, jewelry, etc. to keep or to give. Helpful, polite employees, in person and on the phone.“

“lovely and cute cafe. will definitely go back for another boba or ube ice cream. 😊“

“This place has been a favorite for years. Every time I’ve eaten here I’ve been satisfied. You can tell everything is done with care from service to sandwich building. This quiet neighborhood cafe is one of the last of its kind, and a great example of small business.“

“Awesome environment everyone is really chill! Plus they are Lakers Fans which makes it really feel like L.A.! Awesome drinks and great food!“
