Our order: * Peaches & Cream Snoball House Special: Loved the flavor and the different textures of the shaved ice, soft serve, house made cheesecake top, and condensed milk working together. * 3 Beignets: We ordered one of each filling to try them all: banana pudding, chocolate, and strawberry. My favorite was the banana pudding. The shop was not busy on a Wednesday afternoon. There is one table and limited outdoor seating. Parking is street parking.

This time was mid-week so we didn't have trouble getting in for lunch. We sat on the lovely patio and it was a beautiful day. Service was quick, helpful and friendly. The menu was great and our food was delicious. We ordered a few pastries and a Matcha inside before we were seated on the patio for lunch. My Caesar salad was good but my pasta was so great. I had the Casarecce and it tasted so fresh and light. Asparagus, pine nuts and lemon was the perfect combination. I was told they make their pasta from scratch daily with organic dough and without the use of machines. It did not disappoint. (After visiting Italy last year and tasting the difference between American pasta and Italian pasta, this place hit the spot.) From the service to the location to the delicious food, this place is a hit.

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience deserves one. I canceled my Summer Nights reservation…read morethe morning of because my son was in an accident. I spoke with a woman who took my name and confirmed the cancellation. The next day, I was hit with a $100 charge. It's shocking to see a restaurant that claims to be part of the community show absolutely no compassion when a family is dealing with an emergency. Charging someone after acknowledging a cancellation under those circumstances is unacceptable. This place clearly lacks the heart and humanity that a neighborhood business should have. I spoke with the restaurant manager Patrick after calling multiple times to speak with someone and he basically said he is not willing to refund the charge because they order food ahead of time. The food here is great but the service I received is awful.

Their desserts were just as impressive, beautifully presented and perfect if you're craving something sweet after a meal. The pahlava was amazing, fresh, flaky, and perfectly sweet with great flavor. Everything tasted authentic and made with care. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff, which made the visit even better. I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Long Beach!

The ice cream wasn't too sweet and it had a smooth, yet chewy texture. The interior is cute and colorful. I appreciate when places aren't afraid of colorful interiors and exteriors in an age when more and more places opt for that minimalist look. Unfortunately, there isn't much indoor seating available. The service was quick and friendly. They also allow you to sample all the different flavors!

The restaurant had a fantastic menu with lots of healthy options as well as options to satisfy your sweet tooth. I ended up getting a power bowl and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. The power bowl was one of the best meals I had in a long time, and I would definitely reorder it in the future. The latte I ordered was made perfectly. Service was excellent, restaurant was clean, amazing vibes all around.

Each one is packed with flavor, making you wish you had ordered a dozen instead of just one or two. Given their size, I'd recommend two donuts per person. They bake everything fresh to order and offer a wide variety of flavors, and the staff is welcoming and helpful when recommending what to try. With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, it's also a great spot to work remotely or catch up on emails. Also make sure to check out their cute merch items when you're waiting on your order!

You can no longer find the holy grail here on 2nd Street, Belmont Shore. This brand came from…read moreHawaii but looks like the other locations here in the Southland have been marked as closed. What made them different is they used taro flour and cooked them in coconut oil. Some of their flavors were tropical. Now I can write about how the oil smell emanating from the store made me nauseous whenever I passed by during business hours. It's weird because I didn't think bad of the donuts themselves and could stand to eat them. I will say after having them on two prior occasions, they made an impression on me when they participated in the yearly Belmont Shore chocolate festival. They offered a freshly chocolate glazed donut. It was so delicious having it fresh as opposed to letting it sit and have later. Thanks for the memories! I won't forget you, Holey Grail!

I chose a slice of ube cheesecake creme brûlée ($6), which he freshly brûléed the top before packaging it to go. My daughter saw the slice in the fridge, asked if she could have some and then proceeded to eat the majority of it because it was THAT good. When it was my turn, I could see why she couldn't stop eating it. It was delightfully light and not too sweet. It's probably going to be one of my favorite things I've eaten in 2026! This little bakery is definitely worth seeking out if you're in Long Beach!

The pastas are delightful and the wine list is great, which honestly is all I need to feel good about a spot. My husband is a pizza person through and through, and even though Marlena is not really positioned as a pizza place, the pizza won him over completely. That says a lot. The ambiance is wonderful and the fact that it's mostly outdoors makes it dog friendly, which is always a bonus for us. The food across the board is just solid and well executed without trying too hard to be anything other than what it is. A really warm, genuinely enjoyable dinner in Long Beach and one we will likely be returning to.
