“While running Aaron, I still went to this cute spot close to the freeway just before getting on lol. By looking at the reviews, it looked all right so we decided to stop by. Blueberry hibiscus tea mmmm yummy regular. Chocolate abuelita hot also yummy. Also a jamón sandwich and a regular flan. Everything was yummy... I wouldn't hesitate to come back.“
“I tried the carne asada burrito for the first time last week and really enjoyed it. I will definitely be coming back. The best part of this burrito is they don't chop the meat up into little tiny pieces like most places. Awesome taste as well.“
“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.“
“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“
“#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!“
“I have been several times now. I live in the area. Best espresso in Hermosa/Manhattan area. Today I got the cortado with a savory Danish. It is a neighborhood establishment. In the neighborhood. It is a small local business where you can chat with the barista. Great spot to stop on a bike ride on the strand. You can see the ocean from some of the seating.“
“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.“
“Such a nice cafe to relax and eat :D I was satisfied with my orders and the workers there! Ordered the avocado toast(They didn't have anymore sourdough and replaced it with baguette which was still so delicious!), croque monsieur, caffe latte with nutella, matcha latte, and an eclair vanilla. Everything was perfect! I would definitely come back here again if I need a small brunch :) this place was worth the visit. I highly recommend their eclairs, they did such an amazing job with them that I kept remembering how it tastes like“
“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.“
“Quiet little coffee shop with a welcoming owner. Ordered two regular coffees with a dirty chai latte. Hot drinks and good size cups for a medium. Ordered a regular butter muffin and the owner took it to warm it up and slice it for us as well. Never received that kind of service from a smaller end coffee shop before. Definitely not from a chain either. Lovely outside patio tables and chairs and the greenery surrounding the area is lovely. Highly recommend. Very clean bathroom as well“
“This place is a South Bay gem! The coffee is the best I have found in our area, the owner/staff are super friendly, and the food is fresh & delicious. In the morning, it's packed but service is still efficient. Highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a latte and a crostini!“
“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!“
“Coffee is good & vegan dount as well!Came here for a quick coffee run! Big time worth it!Ordered there Iced Horchata Latte 5/5Cost $ 7.50$1.00 for oatmilkTotal $8.50Vegan Dount$3.00The place was good but it cost a lot for a coffee for sure!Perfect place to do some work!For sure, it's a nice vibe!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“The food was good But I didn't get my correct order. 2+2+2, I only received 1 French toast, I guess 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon. They brought me 1 slice of French toast/bread and cut it in half (as if to say it was 2). I went there after my senior workout class with the ladies (I was the only black person out of our group). So, I'm not sure if it was intentional or what because how are they going to think that was a 2+2+2? They were really nice and I previously went there 2 other times and their omelettes were delicious, I hope my order wasn't right on purpose because I like the place. I should have said something but didn't want to feel like I was trying to start something. I think I'll stay away for a few weeks. ?“
“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!“
“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 ! ♡“

“Fantastic quality and the owner is so nice and boy can he slice those bananas and strawberries with precision! Totally delicious and authentic. I got the crepe with smoked salmon, avocado, cream cheese and it was amazing. My daughter got the crepe with Nutella, strawberries and banana and it was so good she would not share with me.Lloyd“
“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.“
“This place is great!! I had a bagel sandwich that was amazing! I would have given 5 stars but the cashier shorted me on change .i didn't say anything ( i was going to leave it as a tip) . I highly recommend this place still. Quality food !“
“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!!!“
“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.“
“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 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!“
“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.“
“I have been to Fresh Donuts several times, and I always have a great experience. The owner, Jasmine, is very nice. She goes out of her way to provide the highest quality products to her customers. After going there a few times, she found out that I like mild cheddar cheese because I brought it in to have put on my sandwich. After doing that for me, she offered to buy mild cheddar cheese so it would be there for me and other customers who like cheddar. To my mind, great quality in products starts with exceptional quality in the people who bring the very products and service to their customers. Knowing of Jasmine's dedication to personal growth and superior product availability for selection, Fresh Donuts is a very definite keeper! Michael Darcy“
“Cafe Pruvia is one of the most underrated spots in the South Bay for boba. They definitely perfected the milk teas! Although I'm not a big milk tea guy, their drinks are quite impressive. Strawberry milk tea with black tea is so refreshing but also satisfies that milk crave. If you are looking for a fruit tea, I recommend the peach green tea as it is nice and tart. They also have amazing service and are very welcoming. Not to mention, it is a perfect place to study or work, as it is always packed with college students studying on their computers. I will say, the boba pearls can be inconsistent. Some days I would go and the boba will be really small while other days they will be just right. That's their only flaw. Other than that, I highly recommend cafe pruvia if you want quality teas!“
“OMG. That jade snow is to DIE for. It's such an interesting concept as well! The people are so kind and friendly to talk to as well. They don't have seating inside but they have a bench on the out. Come here for a delicious dessert on your trip to the pier.Dietary restrictions: Almost everything has dairy so this might not be the best place for an lactose intolerant person!“
“I’m soo impressed with the food and service at this place. I just casually visited this morning for breakfast. I felt healthy after having their balanced breakfast of scrambled eggs, turkey sausage and potatoes full of flavor with fresh fruits. The organic coffee just hit the spot. I accidentally skipped the tip portion when I made the payment through their machine, and despite me requesting a reswipe, they gladly said it’s fine. I can’t wait to go back there and pay a double tip for their exceptional service and value for money food.“
“Visiting from out of town and found this place. Needed vegetarian options and they definitely have some. Had egg and soy chorizo burrito and fruit cup. It was delicious. Great service, busy but still attentive. Bought a tofu and soy chorizo wrap with homemade chips to have later on and it was great too. Definitely recommend for breakfast or lunch.“
“Loved it! They are a must have for catering and dining. Can't wait to get some more of their crack fries. As well as taste the amazing treats at the upcoming wedding. Thank you Bites and Bashes for blessing us with your delicious food and custom drink on our special day. Mastered in Pieces LLC“
“We hired the Made By Meg (MBM) team for our small, intimate wedding this past May and they were absolutely amazing.From signing on to the actual event date, we had so much trust in the MBM team. They have the entire process down; everything is so organized and all the little details are considered and communicated.I have to give a huge shoutout to the sweetest ever, Angela, who initiated our contract. (She's unfortunately no longer with the company, but wanted to mention her, as she was such a huge part of us wanting to sign on). We were then re-assigned to Kat, who was equally awesome. She helped us finalize all the details of our contract (as we made a few customizations) and ran through the timeline and finishing touches with us before the wedding.Then, on the day of, the team, led by Mila, was phenomenal. Everything was set beautifully, the food was delicious, and everyone was just so kind and a joy to work with.Would highly recommend this team, if you are thinking about hiring a catering company for your next event! :))“
“Delicious green Chilaquiles! The sauce (salsa) is so flavorful. Also had the waffles. Really delicious flavor and texture. Cooked to perfection. This place is a real gem! Family-owned and operated! The Mexican/Mediterranean/American menu gives you lots to choose from. Don't miss this experience!“
“Very unassuming, very low key, yet very, very good. Both savory crepes were exceptional: fresh ingredients in tasty combinations. Strawberry sweet crepe was quite good - I might have to try some of the others to see if we can't jump that rating up a bit. Which is to say we're likely to come back.“
“A real hidden gem in the South Bay where authentic Vietnamese food is scarce. This is a hole-in-the-wall so don't expect anything other than real, authentic Vietnamese food. There's not too many Vietnamese eaters around here where you can get tasty hu tieu (Vietnamese pork and seafood noodle soup), bun rieu (Vietnamese crab noodle soup), and bun bo Hue (Vietnamese spicy beef and pork noodle soup). I was also delighted after trying their bo kho (Vietnamese beef stew)! Just stop reading more yelp reviews and go try.“
“I've passed this place and wanted to give a try, after finally someone taking my order at the counter it came out in about 15 minutes. The place has a coffee house vibe, great tunes, and beer and wine. I got the chicken pesto sandwich with salad instead of fries. All ingredients are fresh. Standard dressing is balsamic. Sandwich came HOT and is a knife and fork sandwich, it is so packed with delicious ingredients it falls apart. Great hidden gem“
“Came here every morning for breakfast while visiting Long Beach California for a conference. 10/10 experience lots of yummy food options. Last day I brought my roomies and they all loved the food and atmosphere as well. Food is freshly cooked and cheap. My roomie states: super good Vietnamese coffee and chicken adobo (~$14 total) below is a photo of her food. Healthy portion of food for the price as well. Chicken adobo is a bit sweeter than normal but not complaining very tasty!“
“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.“
