“After a nice hike down to the cove, this was a welcoming and cozy spot to grab a coffee and soak up the beautiful California coastal atmosphere of Terranea Hotel and Resort. I've stayed at the resort and played some golf there as well. Most trips include a visit to Sea Beans. Staff is A+.“

“The Crepe Heaven Special Crepe was exactly what I was craving! The egg was cooked perfectly. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We also loved the banana almond honey crepe. Best $2.50 coffee ever!!! Clean & comfortable Service was top notch too! Highly recommend!“

“So much to say… but ultimately, Colossus in Long Beach is WONDERFUL!! The BEST BLT I’ve ever had. Because they use high quality ingredients! Their Soft-Scrambled Egg Toast is divine. And everything is beautifully fresh. I love their country bread, baguettes, olive cumin bread, dinner rolls… but I have so much more to try Their pastries are scrumptious: Pecan Sticky Bun, Cardamom Bun, Kouign Amann, Financier, Marzipan Croissant, Sea Salt Brownie, OG Chocolate Chip Cookie. It’s all amazing and I’ve brought a number of friends to show off this incredible Belmont Shore Bakery. On Friday nights Colossus serves pizza into the night. Again, high-quality ingredients make their pizzas delicious. Plus they have interesting and unique combinations. They are tip free because their starting wage is $21/hr. Great customer service. Cute little space with some lovely specialty spice mixes, food items, merch, and wine. Indoor and outdoor seating, and they serve tasty coffees and teas. Colossus feels like a little bit of Europe on 2nd Street.“

“Stopped by Un Caffé Altamura for breakfast and had such a great experience. I walked there, so I can’t speak to the parking, but I was seated right away. The coffee was delicious, breakfast hit the spot, and I treated myself to a mimosa—worth it! It’s a super cute spot just a block from the pier. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a cozy, satisfying start to your day.“

“Serendipitously, I saw information about this place when I was randomly scrolling online.
The food was excellent. I ordered two items to go, the avocado toast and a breakfast burrito. (I should have taken pictures because the items were beautifully presented in addition to being delicious! 🤓)
Beautiful atmosphere. The decor is inviting. Very clean.
It fulfilled and then exceeded my expectations.“

“Cappuccino, espresso, croissant, cornetto, are my favorites, but everything is fresh and delicious! Service and atmosphere is great! Alessandro got it right! Bravo!!“

“Found this place while on vacation, so glad we did. It's clean, staff and food are fantastic. Recommend highly if you are in the area! Thank you guys for a wonderful breakfast! Four of us ate and all meals were enjoyed. The coffee was really good too.“

“Superb coffee. Super classy atmosphere, helpful staff & killer drinks & food. I have a dairy intolerance rn and you can get the chapati with chickpeas instead of the eggs that have milk in, super delicious. My bf got the chapati with the eggs and cheese and he he loved it as well.“

“We stumbled upon this little café by chance while driving from the airport — and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! I honestly envy the office workers who get to have this place nearby every day.

It's a small café, but everything they serve is top-tier culinary art — the sandwiches, coffee, and salads are absolutely delicious. And the soups… just wow! We tried the pumpkin and broccoli soups — both incredibly tasty and nourishing. My 7-year-old son usually won’t touch broccoli, but he loved their broccoli soup and ate it with great pleasure.

We've only been there a couple of times over the past year, but it’s definitely on our list for every future trip to Los Angeles. Can’t wait to come back!“

“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!“

“My family and i stopped for lunch. The chorizo omlett is delish. Great service. My toddler loved the waffles.“

“When looking for a proper boba and smoothie place, its a hit or miss on most as they have too many options to qualify as quality product and or they basic and like any other place. 😁BERRY AND BOBA is a unicorn of a shop.

The Tropical smoothie with almond milk,was fantastic and refreshing. The Big 4 juice was delightful as well. The Sfiha was a new experience and had me chomping on something yum.

Brazilian freshness and wonderful customer service. Definitely a hidden gem“

“Great food and , great customer service. You feel like home. Love it“

“I discovered Jade Snow located at the King Harbor pier in Redondo Beach while biking on the path along the sand near the ocean. Initially, I tried their smoothies and then the various fresh fruit dishes including the MACHA, ACAI, and the DRAGON. The fruits were always fresh, the presentation always appealing, and the taste always gratifying. The staff are friendly and bring my order to me, rather than call my order number and hand it to me over the counter.

Jade Snow has been a fantastic place for me to stop by, get tasty / healthy nutrition, and refresh on my cycling route.“

“Enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at Toast Cafe❤️ Smoked salmon avocado toast and fresh berry toast were amazing. Quiet cozy cafe with great food. Highly recommend!e“

“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.“

“Love their food! Such a hidden gem of Gardena. I have their food at least once a week (especially after a hectic week)

I haven’t try their phở but I recommend try their bun bo hue, my quang, banh mi, and duck noodle haha“

“It is a good place to have breakfast, it has a very nice atmosphere. The food, according to American taste, I think is good. If you are used to a more Latin flavor, perhaps this place is not so much for you. The coffee and bagels are worth it though.“

“Croque madame, croissant ou chocolate, chocolate ou lavande, soup de’oignon“

“Absolutely friendly staff. The owner/manager, Chris, reminds me of the actor August Schellenburg who played Randolph in the movie "Free Willy." I absolutely love their Poke Plate 🍽️ with Mixed Greens! That & a banana 🍌 strawberry 🍓 smoothie 🥤is my favorite go to meal! I give it a 10 Star ⭐✨ Rating!“

“음료가 맘에 들어요.“

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

“Beautiful beachside cafe and retail shop located on Pier Ave in a historic building.. they have a beautiful patio and also a small dining room inside. Enter left for cafe, right for retail store.. excellent baked goods, sandwiches, salads, and plenty of great beverage selections. The egg white breakfast burrito was veggies rather than the typical breakfast meats and it was great. The chicken breast sandwich on the buckwheat bread was toasted to perfection and super tasty. The atmosphere is very charming beachside historic and reminds you of the age of Hermosa Beach.. original flooring and trim have been preserved from one of the oldest original buildings in town. The service was friendly and efficient with honest recommendations and everyone came out fast and perfecto even though they were nice and busy on a Saturday. Gum Tree is a great place to sit and relax, have a nice meal or a snack, shop for cool and unique housewares, gifts and beach related treasures. Located on the south side of Pier Ave between Monterey and Manhattan.“

“This review is written from the perspective of someone who absolutely loves waiting 28 minutes for food—even when there are only two other customers in the entire place. If you're a fan of burgers and fries so salty they could be used for preserving meat, you’re in for a treat. Got bacon on your burger? Don’t worry—they’ll still pile on the salt, because who needs balance? And if you prefer your fries to taste like they're being dry-cured rather than cooked, congratulations—you’ve found your spot.

I actually don't like any of the above qualities in a restaurant. I have just forbidden myself to do any one star reviews because it is bad for business.“

“Their 2 bags for $30 is a good deal. They also shipped it out quickly and we received it quickly. Excited to try it.“

“My favorite donuts perfectly balanced
My wife loves the lemon filled and the almond dulce de Leche
I enjoy anything chocolate haha
Breakfast burritos and sandwiches are filling and flavorful
If you can try a meatlovers omelet on a croissant that is very filling if you can finish it its a large breakfast
Delicious teas and coffee
I can highlight the TMJ coffee and Lychee drink as our top 2 favorites and the matcha brown sugar drink
Definitely try the muffins they are moist and not too sweet mm
I'm looking forward to my next visit already :D
Great service and such a big menu to choose from“

“Great place to walk to and enjoy good food & treats.“

“great food for Hawaiian food“

“First visit and was not dissatisfied. Heard about the place through friends and the Yelp reviews backed up the claims. Nice gem of a place… I had the Protein Scramble and my wife had the Waffles! All the food was amazing and made to order🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 A comfortable lounge environment, tasty food, and great staff making sure we have everything we need. Definitely will be heading back…….with friends and family…“

“Very pleasant staff and greeted with a huge smile. Food was fast and good at a reasonable price.

As an update, we actually came back or breakfast and we were equally impressed with the food (combo plate & bagel sandwich) with good coffee. Would definitely choose this over the over priced cafe at Holiday Inn. It is only 10 min walk from Holiday Inn“

“Better tasting boba compared to the location in cerritos and delicious macroons. I got the specialty smootie milk and honey with mini boba and egg pudding. It tastes amazing. I wanted to try the Nutella and green tea macroons however they were sold out. I settled for the fruity pebble and I loved it.“

“Amazing service & amazing food! Great place to host a meeting or group dinner.“

“cute local coffee shop, friendly & great recommendations“

“I have breakfast here whenever I am in town. Amazing food“

“From out of town. Nice surprise breakfast spot.“

“Best hidden gem in San Pedro! SP Cafe is my family’s favorite spot for fresh and delicious breakfast or lunch. You can’t beat their portion sizes, quality, and proves! Thank you for continuing to make going out to eat with your family affordable 🙏🏻“

“I wanna say great service. Chloe greeted me with a smile. Not only that she gave me the choices of the type of chocolate to get for my mocha. So refreshing to have such wonderful service. God bless you, Chloe. God bless clutch Coffee...“

“Delicious food and beautiful decor!“

“I love it here not only because the pastries are delicious and the teas are so flavorful, but mostly I love stopping by here because of the amazing service & friendly faces that the employees like Emily always have no matter what time of day I've stopped by at!! Even on major holidays like thanksgiving she and the other employees are still so nice and happy! I highly recommend stopping by for pistachio & chocolate macrons + a Strawberry Hibiscus Tea !!!!!!!!:)“

“The best tasting food and best ingredients for the menu items. Fred“

“Muy limpio excelente servicio al cliente y muy rica la ensalada Mexicana 💯recomendado.“

“Its unfortunate that probably the only people who will eat here are travelers on their way to Catalina because it truly is worth a drive for a great meal! Who'd a thought a breakfast burrito and an omelette would surprise anyone but that's exactly what it did. Both were delicious! I even heard my Fiancé say "Tjis is the best omelette i've ever had!" So there you have it. And did I mention the prices were extremely reasonable? Actually quite low for the quality! Have a bite on the water and enjoy everything about this little bistro!“

“It was my first time at this crepe place and the items I ordered were amazing!
I started with a chicken pesto (savory) crepe and it was so delicious! Then I ordered a honeymoon crepe (sweet) filled with strawberries, banana & Nutella! My friend ordered the Oreo lovers bubble waffle - they both were amazingly delicious! Hands down best! Thank you Nathan & team! We’ll be back again 😊“

“Love, love their chicken. Fresh, healthy and very, very tasty. This really is a pick up location, but it does have outside tables. Easy to order ahead and their rotisserie chicken is frankly the best I have had. I know they've been in West LA for years and so happy they just opened El Segundo. I eat here a few times a week. They have some really good sides as well, especially the roasted potatoes. Order ahead El Segundo because they are packed at lunch. Staff is very friendly and it is easy to walk up and order. They usually are 10 minutes or less. The atmosphere is fine but it is really a walk up and eat outside place. Try it. You will love it.

Parking: It just get crowed at lunch in Chargers commons because there are a lot of other restaurants. But you can always find a space somewhere.

Kid-friendliness: Perfect meal for kids. Fresh, healthy and tasty. Plenty to oder from for them.“

“Fast casual Mexican spot located in the Bristol Farms complex. Free ample parking. Credit cards accepted. You can order online or at the counter and then they’ll bring the food out to you. Vegetarian-friendly. Indoor dining only (no outdoor options). They have a self-service salsa bar where you can choose from four different types of salsas. The people there were friendly and there was a generous amount of meat in the nachos. I’d come back here if I want a quick meal that’s not too far from the beach.“

“Martha’s is one of my favorite spots steps away from the beach with TERRIFIC EGGS BENEDICT & CHICKEN 🍲 SOUP! Service is friendly & efficient!“

“Their boba is always fresh and they have a ton of delicious drinks. They have the best Taro and Mocha I’ve ever had, and speaking as a chocolate enjoyer, their vanilla is the only one I will pay for. Best I’ve cream and everyone is always so friendly, even when it gets super busy. I’ll never stop going here.“
