“Iconic local restaurant serving a full menu. Plenty of seating in and out.Our lunch time meals were prepared perfectly and served hot and fresh. Our server was the only wait staff working. She was attentive even though working 5 tables and the bar! BRAVO.My grilled cheese was better than my mom’s. Sorry mom. The fries and rings were delicious. I wanted more…We enjoyed our time there.Such a long running staple in the community, Curley’s desperately needs a refresh. The building and contents are tired and worn.With such a strong menu, patrons would reward you with increased business in exchange for a makeover.Refresh or not, it’s a great menu, the kitchen nails it and the help (at least our server) is extraordinary.Recommended.Parking: Parking could get tricky if the restaurant is busy.“
“This is truly a gem of a hole in the wall!! Almost literally, and I say that with respect and appreciation. This cute little eatery is easy to miss, being tucked in a very small strip mall (if it even qualifies as that!) between a small pharmacy and a laundromat, just south of the Arco on the corner of PCH and Pacific. But once you have eaten here, boy oh boy is it hard to forget!I come here about once every other week when I'm on a regular work schedule. Became hooked immediately with their unique bahn mi sandwiches and their pate chaud. Now I'm completely obsessed with their plant-based shrimp spring rolls and their grilled pork bun bowl. That bowl is the perfect balance of light and filling, flavorful and refreshing. It is one of my lunch go-to options. And the plant-based shrimp rolls are AMAZING. Obviously I'm not vegan, but this is an item that I enjoy so much despite it all.I have yet to try their pho. Maybe one of these days. They do have seating inside, but no restroom. Also, parking lot is small and shared, so I avoid coming during peak lunch hours, usually after 1 to pick up my food, and I've had no issues.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, flavorful too!Parking: Parking lot is pretty small and shared with a pharmacy, laundromat and discount store.“
“4++ great neighborhood coffee shop that has fun, chill vibes, and enthusiastic service. There's fun decor inside and looks like a place where people can hang out or get some reading and/or work done. I only got an Americano or drip from here (with added cream), so I can't really speak to the food items or any of the more complex, possibly more sugary drinks here. It looks like they roast their own beans here as well. I had a lot of coffee at home at the time of my visit, so I didn't buy a bag. I might have to come back and grab one. Parking was easy to find. There's a lot on the side of the building. If the lot is full, I'm pretty sure you could find street parking close by.“
“#UbuntuCafe is located in the #BelmontHeights community of #LongBeach #90814. It is well known to all the locals as “The Greatest Neighborhood Cafe”. #RTR knows it as a great place to come enjoy delicious food & enjoy the weather in the outdoor open setting. I always order the chicken bowl! Yummy Yummy~ See you here!“

“The food and service at the new location are just as wonderful as the original location. I look forward to more of my favorite dishes coming over. For now, I am enjoying trying new dishes and the lunch specials are a great deal. The team members are extremely friendly/inviting, and I always enjoy their recommendations.“
“It was busy at the store today. Donna wasn't there today to help me at the self check out register. She is patient with me, and helps when ever she is able. Thankfully, i only had 3 items. Whew! No matter how busy, she always welcomes me with a smile.“
“I’m from Washington, so I’m a bit of a coffee snob. This place met and exceeded expectations. Iced Americano is classic perfect signature, strength, espresso taste. The violet caramel mocha is extremely smooth and subtle flavors. Well worth the risk to try one of the signature items. Extremely clean and inviting environment.“
“I came here on a Thursday so it wasn't too crowded. Stopped by before heading to the AngelCity Market. I tried the Yuzu Jasmine Lemonade, Cheese & Spicy Peppers Potato Ball and the Chicken Torta. All very delicious!Parking: The parking structure is behind Portos and it's good for 2hr parking as long as you're a customer.“
“Delicious cheesecakes.I've been there twice.We've tried Cookies & Cream and pecan with chocolate sauce. It's advertised as caramel. However, it's dark and doesn't taste like caramel.I scrape it off and use my own syrup.That's my only gripe about that particular cheesecake.I would recommend people try them.**I would also love for them to have more flavors available.“
“What a hidden gem! Ample parking and a beautiful space. Who would've known there's a great spot in this business area? Service was awesome! And everyone was very friendlThe drink menu was so diverse and they even have large batch cocktails to go. The food menu has something for everyone. I liked that there was breakfast and pastries along with lunch items.We got two bloody Mary's, a cold brew, salad, soup, burger and sandwich. Which came out to about $80ish before tips. Everything was so good! I want to go back to try more.“
“Came here on a weekend after a cruise. Got the breakfast burrito and it was great. The distribution of the ingredients inside the burrito was even and there was a decent amount of bacon inside. I wish their salsa was more spicy though since I think that would have made a good addition to the burrito. I didn't get guac so can't say if it would have made a good addition but I think that the burrito without it was great.“
“"RightExperience" I was visiting LB and made RightMealz my choice three times in three days. I even got to meet the owner Chris. In principle it's a simple business, but the execution and food was just perfect. The staff is friendly - even the coffee is superb. Long Beach is lucky to have them!“
“A friend of mine introduced me to this place. He went on a couple of vacations to Italy, Greece, France, and a few other places and in the process came back with a far better appreciation for espresso.Hands down, his favorite place when he's in town for a simple espresso is this place. He says there's no competition. My palette isn't nearly as discerning as his, and I normally don't take espresso straight up, some taking his word on it.Whenever we come here I always ask the barista which is her favorite drink. A lot of them are seasonal and change regularly. They also have plenty of milk alternatives for people like me with a little bit of milk sensitivity.I've never had a bad drink here, never had a bad experience, the place is clean, the service is pleasant and friendly and knowledgeable, and it's easy to waste an hour or two. Just chatting and enjoying yourself here.“
“Great coffee shop, good coffee. I got a pour over of their Kenyan blend. Was very good. Will return to try their other drinks. Few seating options but given the size of the space, it's understandable. The staff was very friendly as well.“
“Besteas Boba is pretty good, and they often have good deals. They have a large selection of options. Just be aware that many flavors can taste very artificial, so if you’re not into that it may not be the spot for you! The owners are very nice!“
“After losing our beloved cat Bella in April of this year, our family was ready to adopt a new kitten(or two) but felt a bit apprehensive as to how to find a reputable rescue. We heard about Catmosphere, and after seeing the adorable kitties on their website, submitted the online adoption application. Sooo happy we did! Gail contacted me right away, and told us about two tuxedo kittens ready for their new home. The entire process was smooth and professional from start to finish. Gail was amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable about the kittens, set up our meeting with the kitties and it was love at first site! I was so impressed with how well-cared for and well-behaved these kittens were! All of the initial kitten exams, vaccinations, spay/neuter were all taken care of, making it so easy to transition them into our home. Our new kitties have adjusted very well to our home and we are just in love with them both! This has been by far the best cat adoption process we've ever experienced, and I strongly recommend that anyone looking to bring a new kitty or two into their family do so via Catmosphere Laguna Foundation. Purrfect!!!“
“Always trust yelp! no wonder why there's so many good reviews on the wholesome bowl it's like a healthy taco bowl it's amazing! Also got the pro Tien dreams movie which was an amazing healthy tasting smoothie. I will definitely be coming here more now that they closed my favorite place in this center tocaya“
“Short: Charming café with down to earth people, no frills menu. Staff is friendly & the environment is calming. Dog friendly patio. Long: Parking is abundant in the marina lot. Exterior vibe is boaty lol as the café is tucked away between the Wilmington Marina & surrounded by boats. There are booths & a counter inside but why would you sit inside if the outside is refreshing? Lol There is usually a pup or two on the patio that is generally calm. There are occasions the pups go a little nuts over the birds or ducks around. Lol Yes, there is a small menu for dogs. Staff is friendly, professional, & efficient. Food is simple but good. A couple surprises: the French toast & the menudo. Both are delicious! WC: Key required, separate facilities for ladies & gents.“
“I tried their lox bagel today, and it was so satisfying. They do not skimp on the cream cheese, the lox, or the caper. All the ingredients tasted fresh and fragrant. Service was friendly and attentive, even though it's just counter service. Hours after I finished my bagel sandwich, my stomach is still thanking me.“
“TMJ Café - A Haven for Donut Lovers If there's one thing you must try at TMJ Café, it's their Maple Bacon Donut. This delightful treat is nothing short of phenomenal. The donut itself is pillow-soft, providing the perfect canvas for the rich, sweet and savory toppings. The maple glaze is expertly balanced - not too sweet, just perfectly syrupy, complementing the crispy, savory bacon on top. Each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that leaves you craving more. The ambiance of TMJ Café adds to the experience, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It's clear that they put a lot of love and care into their baked goods. And if the Maple Bacon Donut is anything to go by, the rest of their menu promises to be just as delightful. In summary, TMJ Café is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. Their Maple Bacon Donut is a standout, and I am eagerly looking forward to indulging in the rest of their delicious offerings. Oh goodness gracious, this is a donut lover's dream come true!“
“Amazing Bingsoo! I've been dying to try this place and it did not disappoint! The owner was very sweet and cheerful! The bingsoo itself *chefs kiss* this has to be one of my new favorite dessert places! Please come try this, you won't regret it! Also side note, the actual location is inside of the market just go inside and you'll find it!“
“If you're looking for a little greenery with your caffeine then this spot is for you! It's a tight cozy space but lots of plants everywhere and an area in the back with a skylight. Outside the shop is also plenty of seating, it's a nice street with shopping and there are often additional vendors on the weekends. They have your usual basic drinks but some creative drinks as well including an espresso tonic and a cold brew palmer. I noticed they also have some additional flavors depending on the month. I ordered a maple latte with an extra shot and I was pleasantly surprised when they gave me a quad shot instead of 3 shots. Although the drink was a little too hot at first it was still good. I would definitely go back to try some other menu items.“
“Just an all around cute hidden cafe. The portions are great for the prices, the service is always friendly, and I've never had a bad experience here, and I'm here a few times a month.For the food, a pretty good variety, including some of the best breakfast food around this area, do stop by if you get the chance.“
“Went in for early Easter breakfast, very cute local spot. The food was delicious and the price was very affordable. I ordered the breakfast burrito was very yummy. The service was very quick and the servers checked up us on a lot. They kept asking us if we needed anything or if we needed coffee / water refills.“
“The bacon avocado toast was the best I've ever had and I try them all! It's huge and full of fun extras! The bacon was perfectly cooked and plenty of it. To top it all the service and lattes were just as top notch! I'll be back!“
“We stopped here for coffee and dessert, the place is a bit old and needs to be cleaned and dusted, in general the restaurant is cozy, there are only three tables inside but more seating is available outside, but if you stay outside be prepared to smell smoking or weed from people passing by. We ordered Expresso and sweet bread, the coffee was really good and the bread was okay, not really amazing, lots of pictures on the wall from famous people, specially Jeni Rivera, but this area is dirty and definitely should be cleaned.The restroom is clean and lots of free parking is available.“
“American breakfast/lunch restaurant in Cypress, on Lincoln and Moody, right across the IHOP. Clearly, way better than the latter... Fairly packed at around noon, especially on weekends (come earlier or later, it's open until 1:30 PM). The food is quite good. Maybe not spectacular, but still better than average. I had the California Chicken Sandwich, which comes with bacon, avocado slices, and iceberg lettuce. Everything was fresh and tasty. I would have preferred a plumper chicken breast (the kind "Paul's" serves on Cerritos and Knotts) instead of more smashed meat, but that's down to personal preference. My wife had the breakfast burrito, and it was quite good.“
“if you're in downtown long beach and want a quick breakfast and a hot coffee or tea to go with it, this is the place ...and you won't pay ridiculous trendy prices for fashionable- people palces .this is just a good, proper old fashioned sandwich - drinks- shop with a really relaxing interior ...why go to a chain coffeehouse or a sketchy donut shop when you can come here ?..and parking spots aren't a problem .or you can walk .“
“Stopped by for breakfast before heading to the airport. Service from the Asian lady was much better than the white female lady.Food:Fruit BowlPopeye OmeletBiscuits & GravyThe Popeye Omelet was good and plentiful. I truly enjoyed the Biscuits & Gravy. It was delcious.I'd return again“
“Never had a bad meal there. Basic breakfasts to brunch items to just getting baked goods. It never disappoints. Ignore the folks that say it's too expensive. It's no worse than elsewhere of the same quality. If you want cheap items go to Dennys. If you wanted cafe and bakery level food...pony up. It's cute, great servers, and delicious baked items. Their double chocolate chocolate chip muffin warmed up is sinfully good. I'll say the best time to go is not on weekend when the crowds and cyclist clubs take over the outside. Hit it up on a day off and then walk down to the pier to work off your muffin.“
“Excellent dining experience. We went to Lunch to take advantage of the outstanding view of the Driving experience course. server, was attentive without being intrusive. We started our meal sharing fresh oysters and Scallops which were incredibly fresh, briny and delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the salad and pork dishes on the menu, which accommodated my gluten allergy. We had a salad with a delicious dressing and it was beautiful, fresh and appetizing. Such a nice weekend lunch with friend in a lovely spot.“
“I love pastries and I love bread and I love coffee. I also love that this place is so close to home!But I don't know if it's a good thing for me because now I am addicted lol. The women that work here are All so sweet and always answer my questions about the beverage menu ( which I told myself I'd try every single one) and so far all good but I am loving their gingerbread caramel latte and tried the chocolate peppermint cookie today and omg it is sooo good! Peppermint flavor is just the perfect amount not overpowering, like the lady that helped me said I cannot believe it's Vegan. My kids love their chocolate chip cookies and we enjoy some of their sourdough every now and then! Great little gem in San Pedro.“
“came here on a saturday & it was exceptional !it's small but wasn't too busy, which worked out ! Everyone is really friendly, and the pastries were delicious.I got a Honey Oat Latte price of $6it had a perfect balance of sweet & strong ! 10/10my friend ordered a Burnt Carmel Latteprice of $5.50tried it and it was good ! Probably a little bit stronger but still good !Don't know the pastry names, but they were phenomenal 10000/10the vibe is everything !Coming back for sure ! ♡“
“This Cafe was very good, the staff were extremely friendly, and the inside is more spacious than it looks on the outside. If you love hot sauce this place not only offers a variety of popular hot sauces at the table but they also have salsa habanero and medium if you ask for it. I tried their Habanero salsa and it was very tasty! I also tried their country fried steak and eggs with cheese a top my eggs and the salsa ready complimented this dish. 10/10 would recommend this cafe!“
“NO BREAKFASTShowed up for breakfast sandwiches & the menu changed, they did not have breakfast options. This was the only reason for 4 stars rather than 5.I ordered the lavender oat latte without sweet foam & the farmers market sandwich. The latte was the perfect sweetness & the sandwich had super fresh ingredients & warm focaccia.It was almost $50 for 2 lattes & 2 sandwiches but the ambiance was great. Very clean with lots of natural light & roomy tables. A great place to get some work done.“
“Partner and I stopped in on a busy morning and the service was so fast! The cafe de olla and cafe Mexicano were delicious. We ordered French toast (which was divine) and chilaquiles with carne asada. Highly recommend both! The menu had so many delicious options, we can't wait to come back and try more. I think if you are adventurous with your food you're going to like this place!“
“Great food it’s your old school classic diner and the food was fast and delicious and can’t wait to come back and try more things. I had the club sandwich and it would stand up to any other good one you can buy at your local restaurant. My wife had the ham and cheese omelette and it was delicious with lots of cheese and flavor and would definitely get it again the service was top notch even with what it looked like was one person working 12 plus tables. She is the real superstar of this restaurant. Can’t wait to go back.“
“Came here for the hype and it was pleasant and enjoyable but nothing to really rave aboutThe server was really nice and accommodating when we were deciding on what drinks and add ons to orderWe ordered a couple of the classic milk teas and again, I'd come back here if I was in the neighborhood but wouldn't go too far out of my wayMapo Tots: Maybe get?It's a fun loaded tots idea but the two flavors don't really go hand in handFood/Drinks: 6/10Service: 8/10Atmosphere: 6/10Value: 6/10“
“Just came from the beach and decided to come here.The place is very welcoming,very clean.The young lady that rang me up was nice.There's a long bench to sit on & Hawaiian music being played while you wait for your order.I ordered the Halo Halo and Rootbear float for the wife.Halo2 was good compared to the other ones that I've tried but the wife didn't like hers. I might come back for the halo2 and try the mais con Yelo if I'm in the area.“
“From the first visit, Civitas has been our favorite ever since! Whenever we are out of town and try another coffee shop we always compare that coffee shop to Civitas. "Is it as good as Civitas?" The answer is very rarely a "yes". Our regular order is an unsweetened iced oat milk latte! And I would like to say that it doesn't give us "that first sip feeling", it gives us "that every sip feeling"! Wonderful baristas, delicious coffee, and reasonable prices! :)“
“Jennifer is the absolute best, I stumbled across this little hidden gem and I cannot say enough about the service I received from Jennifer. She let me and my co worker sample the drinks before deciding which one to get, and she makes the best organic Acai bowls. On the other note, we came back one day for lunch and I'm not sure what the lady name was that was there, she was so rude and we have not been back since. I wish Jennifer was there daily because I really loved the way her energy was and the way she made our bowl and drinks.“
“Still my favorite breakfast spot of ALL TIME. We live far but still try to stop by whenever we're near. I love their chilaquiles and omelettes. The coffee is also really good and unlimited. However, the must haves are the super spuds. Make sure to upgrade your hash browns!!!“
“I am really new to the vegan world! But my daughter has made the change and committed. I took her to The Grain for her birthday. The place is very welcoming, the service is excellent. The food is wonderful to say the least! Can't wait to get back for more of the the exciting fare. The menu being quite extensive, cpmpleted with a very tasty dessert selection. And, they also have a Seperate offering of Authentic Oaxacan food, very quaint. Long time in the community. Look them up“
“I was having a rough day and really needed some caffeine and a snack. I walked in and the environment was immediately cozy, calm, and inviting. This kind woman answered all of my questions and recommended me a beverage with coffee infused ice cubes!! It was extremely delicious and my new favorite coffee by far! (Coming from a Starbucks barista's perspective). I also had a cini mini, and it was a perfect, sweet little snack to pair with my coffee. Thank you for a great experience, y'all just earned a new regular!“
“The service here is fantastic. They are quick with getting your food to the table without compromising the quality of breakfast! From what it once was to what it is now, Off Street has done an amazing job bringing this once almost dead cafe back to life.“
“The breakfast burrito is phenomenal. I order it without pico de gallo, bacon, & add potatoes. Eggs are fluffy, potatoes are seasoned and have a Cajun kick, & bacon is thick. It may look small but it’s hearty!This coffee shop has a calm, inviting atmosphere. There is outlets so great place to work/study.“
“great food, great vibea! we got the family style and it was so good, highly recommend the lamb chops! someone in our group cried because the food was so good. the waitstaff was so nice and helpful (especially Fabio) and it was a great night, highly recommend!“
“I had chicken waffles and a burger, and the server was very friendly I think the chicken would taste better if it was slightly salty and without the seasoning (false?) haha. The atmosphere is nice and clean, but the parking lot is a bit small.“
“They have wonderful gourmet bagels that are a cut above your typical mundane ones. All the breakfast bagel sandwiches are intriguing, but I haven't had the chance to try them yet. Now I have a very good reason to return. My new job is in Lakewood, and I will also check out their original location.“
“AMAZING FOOD! Love that it is non alcoholic as it definitely invites a positive crowd. Very lowkey neighborhood as well. Service was quick and snappy. My friend did not like her original order but they exchanged it for something else on the menu with no issues. Will be returning often as a resident of signal hill“
