I'd been hearing the buzz about & Waffles on social media so I decided to visit it's newest location in Downtown Long Beach. We entered and we were immediately greeted and given options on where to sit. Service is amazing. We were fortunate to be served by the owner himself, Sergio. Sergio is one of the most congenial and kindest business owners I've met. He was extremely attentive and came back several times to check in on us. No one was ignored by him, he made time for all those dining at the restaurant. The ambiance was great. It's got a nice, modern vibe. There are tables, booths, and bar seating. It's good for two, small families, and even large parties. The decor is kept simple and pleasing to the eye; lots of plants everywhere, framed photos, and some Instagrammable wall art. One of its best features is that there's music that isn't so loud that you can't have a conversation. Saving the best for last...the food! I need to preface this by saying that I am not a waffles person. I like waffles, I love my homemade waffles, and waffles at restaurants are always hit or miss. Waffles at restaurants tend to be dense and over filling. If I get to finish them I feel beyond full and a little nauseous if they're sweetened. Waffles are not my go to breakfast dish. How could I go to a restaurant whose name is & Waffles and not try them?? Sergio suggested the churro waffles and I'm so glad I tried them. They were flavorful, light but very filling and they didn't over do it. They were the best waffles I've had in my life, and I write that without exaggeration! They're SO good! I also had eggs and hash browns. I was super surprised at how fresh the hash browns were. Later, Sergio let us know that all of their food is fresh and never frozen. Everything was delicious, from my caramel latte to the hash browns, eggs, and waffles. I can't wait to visit again and if you've gotten this far and still aren't sure about dining at & Waffles, GO! GO NOW! You honestly will not be disappointed. read more

Finally made it to #&waffles and it didn't disappoint. My server #aera, was a sweetheart very attentive to my dining experience. Love the decor of #&waffles it has clean lines. There's a extensive menu with a little something for everyone to enjoy. I opted for the classic chicken & waffles the waffles were very light the chicken was yummy seasoned to perfection. The plus for me was all the choices of hot sauces here, there was a hot sauce for everyone's taste. There's a parking garage 2 hours validation which is so cool for a restaurant DTLB. Been opened for one month still working on its liquor license so no mimosas today. Will definitely return soon... read more

I sent to & Waffles for a solo brunch one Saturday. I ended up parking in the promenade parking but would try to park closer next time. There's a lot right next to the restaurant and they validate, found this out after the fact. There's place wasn't too busy but it was probably after 1pm when I arrived. I chose to sit inside but the patio would be nice when the weather is warmer. Started off with a vanilla latte with oat milk which was really good. I ordered the Cajun chicken & waffles... I can say for certain they know how to make chicken & waffles! The serving size is huge, can definitely be shared. I appreciated that they offered a variety of hot sauces and even had a habanero salsa. The restaurant interior was very nice and pleasant, with tables spread out nicely and varied for different party sizes. Music was great as well. I knocked off one star because my waffle was cold to slightly warm. It did warm up well at home the next day. All in all a nice addition to downtown LB & I already told my husband we have to go back. read more

I have been to another location of & Waffles so I was excited to try this location and it did not disappoint. The food was served hot and fresh and looked amazing. All of us enjoyed our meals and the food was fantastic. I had the bacon waffle which had bacon in the waffle and on top. Two of our party had biscuits and gravy and they both thought it was amazing and the fourth person had strawberry banana waffles with chicken on the side and it was all scrumptious. We also got a berries and cream waffle to share for the table and it was incredible. read more

OMG....this place is the BEST! We happened to find it and didn't know what to expect but we had the best experience! It is super convenient and has a parking in the garage in the building that they validate. We were greeted and seated immediately by the owner Serg! Talk about a great guy! He personally took the best care of us and the service was impeccable. The food was awesome! We had the eggs Benedict and the Cajun chicken and waffles. Both were tasty and the presentation was gorgeous. At the conclusion Serg brought us a plate of the churro Belgian waffles...WOW!!! They literally melted in my mouth. I can't say enough good things about this place. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them and suggest you try them today, you won't be disappointed! read more

& Waffles - Churro waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

We visited this Waffle House in Long Beach this morning because it showed "vegan options" online but that turned out to be pretty misleading. The only vegan option was avocado toast for $18, and that price included bacon and eggs. If you swap those out for mushrooms and tomatoes (to make it vegan), they actually charge you an extra dollar so you end up paying more for less food. I asked for the mushrooms and tomatoes on the side since mushrooms can be hit or miss, but the toast came with both on top anyway and even had melted cheese on it. Not vegan. Our server Valerie, though, was incredibly sweet and the only real bright spot of the experience. She apologized right away and brought me new plain toast (no butter) with avocado on the side so I could make my own. She even caught that the kitchen accidentally buttered the first batch and had it remade. I really appreciated her attention and kindness. My friend's meal looked great, but as a vegan it's tough to eat at places that make something as simple as avocado toast so complicated and overpriced. It wouldn't be hard to have at least one solid vegan option - even vegan waffle or pancake batter is easy to make and could be priced the same. Overall, the experience was just okay. Valerie's service earned this place a few stars, but I wouldn't call it vegan-friendly. read more

The best service! Incredible waffles, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Everything was cooked perfectly, and by the taste obviously thoughtfully prepared. read more

Just left this place. Very unwelcoming service. Host was laughing with another customer that I couldn't open the door. There was no wait time and because I had a stroller they didn't sit us down right away. Then a couple walks in and get seated immediately. We waited about 10 minutes when there was literally no one else waiting. When she (the host with the 2 ponytails) saw us leaving, all she could say was sorry. Poor customer service skills. No attempt to seat us. read more

I have seen the "coming soon " sign for forever and was super excited to see it actually opened. We got seated right away and were served by Christian and he was soooo awesome! The place is a little small, but there is outside seating but it was a little cold so no one was out there. Very cute and a lot of seating for the small space. I had the waffle combo and I was so surprised by how light and fluffy the waffles were. They look so big and daunting but they are not dense and instead super light and flaky and delicious I fell in love with them! I kinda wish I had just got the waffles only just so I could eat more of them! Eggs were not over cooked, perfect and creamy. My husband got the wings and waffles and he loved them! The wings were their Cajun style and were flavorful and tender. If I could eat here every day I would. They are applying for a liquor license so maybe mimosas in the future? I will be back for sure either way. read more

Food is great here but the wait is ridiculous, first you tell me the wait is 25 minutes, then you you add an additional 15 minutes more. A whole hour passes by and I'm still waiting to be seated. She had an excuse that they don't have enough waiters but they did. One of the waiters seated his friends first, meaning they did not wait at all. read more

Food was a definite 5 stars but the service brought our score down. While initial waitress was absolutely delightful, she either got called away or there was a shift change as we had to ask the hostess for silverware then waited for refills and finally had to go find someone such that we could pay our bill. Chicken and waffles were outstanding as was the jalapeño burger. read more

I've enjoyed the food at &Waffles in the past, but my most recent visit left me genuinely disappointed. I ordered a hot tea, and when I asked for more hot water and another tea bag, I was charged again. It's honestly wild to pay that much for a single tea bag when you could buy an entire box of black tea for the same price. The food was good, but this experience really changed how I feel about the place. I'll definitely pause before choosing to go back. read more

Drop the mic, this place is all that!! My son and I had breakfast @ & Waffles in LB and the entire experience , from start to finish, was phenomenal! The parking garage leads directly into the restaurant and the parking is validated. We were greeted with a hearty welcome by the staff. One of the owners, Serg,​ was our server and his top of the line service made it impossible for us to not come back. He is so energetic and personable. His recommendations were spot on. The coffee is great and the waffles and chicken are a must have. The pastrami omelette did not disappoint. Serg, all I can say is thanks!! You checked every box in regards to how an excellent dining experience ​should be. Looking forward to the OC location opening in the future. read more

Don't order on uber eats unless you want to be the one to have to construct your meal yourself. I didn't order an eggs Benedict with the intentions to have to build it myself nor with the knowledge I have to build it myself upon getting it. You should probably put that on the app before you allow your customers to purchase it read more

Delicious waffles and great service from Joe! 10 min wait in line on Sunday at 1130am. Not bad at all. No waitlist.

Long Beach local here- 5 stars for this place, hands down. I've never had a more perfect waffle... crispy on the outside yet not overcooked or dry. Slightly sweet but not drenched in sugar. Chicken on top was well-seasoned and moist. Yes, the pricing is slightly higher than other breakfast places in LBC, but this place is located in downtown (higher rents downtown). And the service and quality of food make up for that. Our server, Chode, was super attentive and made our first visit here extra special. If I have any positive feedback for this place on how to be EVEN BETTER, I'd say they need to juice up their curb appeal. We've walked past this place tons of times and for whatever reason, it never caught our eye or looked appealing. That's also a consequence of being a business located downtown though, however (the flight and grime sometimes can be a deterrent). Anyway, I would have never guessed how good the food is if we had not stopped in for brunch. Will highly recommend this place to friends and visitors though and we WILL be back! read more

Not normally a waffle guy, but my Waffle,egg, and sausage combo was one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while! Another plus is they grind their coffee fresh making for a delicious cup.

Amazing food! Great customer service! Highly recommended if you live in Long Beach area

Came with a party of 5 around 1pm on a Saturday. Cool, modern vibes with an open concept & outdoor seating available. Food was delicious, reasonably priced ($15-25/person), and came out SUPER fast! Chicken was juicy and crispy, skillet was hot and fresh, and lots of different beverage options available. Our server (Isabel) was on her first day out of training but was still knowledgeable about the menu and took great care of us! Overall, would certainly come back if we are ever in the area again. read more

& Waffles - Greek salad with Cajun chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Heard this place opened up and went around 11am on a Saturday. Was not packed at all but started to get more busy around noon. The place was very clean and the staff were very nice. First we tried the spiked lemonade with a mystery flavor. Both were different flavors. The blue one tasted more berry like and the green one resembled a buzzball. I enjoyed my blue one and it went well with my meal. I had the waffles Benedict. Truly it was interesting eating it all together but the star was the waffle. The ham was tasty as well and cut very thick. The eggs were the lack luster part of the dish. Typically I get more flavor from the inside yolk and the hollandaise sauce was a solid 8/10, it's what made the eggs tasty. I never had a waffle taste this soft and supple. However for the serving the price was a bit high, but the taste made the price feel worth it. My waffles benefit plate was about 19. My partner had the French toast and he mentioned this wasn't that special and felt he can get a similar French toast elsewhere and made them unenthusiastic to try other French toast. He asked for eggs over medium and they were served over easy. The sausage was fine and not too thick, but felt generic. He did love the portion size of the French toast. Honestly if that was the same size for the waffles I would have no other notes. He tried my waffles and agreed they were better than the French toast. To give you an estimate for all the food pictured the total was 70 which included a tip. Take away the drinks you're looking at around 40 dollar tab for two if y'all only get water and two meals. I would recommend anyone coming here if you're wanting to try a breakfast spot with tasty options and have a medium sized budget. You can park in the public underground parking lot literally attached to it and if you're here for like an hour it's about $5 for parking but you can find a LB city lot close by it can be free or less read more

Follow up review from my first! If you're not on to this spot you're missing out. SERVICE SERVICE SERVICE. They're busy sometimes and the service DOESN'T miss. The entire staff here is amazing. I CRAVE this place. Always leave feeling fed, loved and happy. My favorite is the simple corned beef hash breakfast but everything is insane here. Simple "mommas cooking". This is a hard job, they're asked in this industry to manage a zillion emotional "foodies" (lame btw) and smile through it. The floor support/busser Frank is a beast. Works hard and always happy to help. My server Joe is always a legend. Knows my order, engages in great convo and still takes care of the whole place. Seriously get there. Try the food. Enjoy the vibe. These guys really care and treat people great. We all have different likes and dislikes for food and beverage but SERVICE is what we should be yelping. Not my personal preference and these guys offer perfect service. read more

I love the food and the ambiance. However, today the chicken was different. I hope that the quality of the product hasn't been reduced to something cheaper because that's not good. I had a lot of fat inside my chicken as did my husband. This made our meals just okay. The 1st time we visited it was excellent. Go back to the old brand of chicken. I do not like a mouth full of fatty chicken. Aside from this, you are on to something and I am here for it. read more

I had a opportunity to be treated to this fairly new establishment and I am so thankful I was.

The both of them were on the top of their game, didn't miss a beat. The overall vibe of the place was amazing. Definitely must place an emphasis on if you're a coffee drinker you can not go wrong here, as well as serge's secret lemonades, trust me! and the mindful thought of the condiments available...yeah I knooow ;) you'll see what I mean. If you ever visit downtown long beach, ca please make you way to this place. read more

It was cool... I'm not upset but don't that I feel the need to go back... I had the Cajun wings and the waffle. I wish the wings were cooked a little longer... they were ok... I love that they had Red Rooster hot sauce The waffle was decent... nothing special... it was cool. They brought me and my daughter's food out 7 to 10ish minutes before they brought out my ex's food... I don't really like that. Our waiter was cool asf... a slim Latino guy with a few piercings in his face... Ambiance - cute images on the wall but yeah.. but nothing special. I forgot to mention - it's low key kind of expensive we spent over $100 for 3 basic plates w/ no add-ons and 3 drinks. They do validate parking tho. After all that rambling - I do think most people will enjoy it; it just came off a little basic or generic... I'd say it's a very safe choice read more
