Blueberry Pie Roll
Lana J.

We got these and also the churro, strawberry cream, and apple. Let me tell yall they were sooooo good. We all agreed they were all the best cinnamon rolls we have ever tasted. We will be back. And we drove from Alhambra. Service was great and the place was nice and clean.

WOW. My daughter and her friend introduced me to this place yesterday after lunch. OMG. *drool* I got the Cookie Monster cinnamon roll. It was so rich and decadent. Scrumptious. Delicious. Delightful. Shall I go on? Haha Service was friendly and fast. Try it. You won't be sorry.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND - I AM OBSESSED WITH CINNAHOLIC. I'll happily admit that I would visit this place daily if it was closer to my house. I used to go to the Cinnaholic in Brea nearly a decade ago, and was heartbroken when it closed. I recently discovered that there's a Cinnaholic in Long Beach and have been twice. Both times were excellent! It's a counter service bakery with a large variety of FULLY VEGAN pastries. The cinnamon rolls, brownies, cookies, etc - you name it, it's vegan here. My boyfriend and I first ordered the Cookie Monster cinnamon roll and it you want to satisfy every sweet craving under the sun, absolutely order this. It was delicious, but have a cup of milk or water nearby since you'll be thirsty from the influx of sugar right after eating it. We went late at night close to closing on the second occasion, and the cashier was very friendly and let us know that fresh cinnamon rolls are baking and the wait might be about 15 minutes. We were delighted by this and were glad to wait. We ordered a cinnamon roll with cake batter frosting, berries, and jam. It was phenomenal and the frosting had completely covered the roll due to being warm and fresh out of the oven. If you're vegan (or anyone with a propensity for sweet treats!), please do yourself a favor and visit this bakery! Not only is it crave worthy, it's clean inside and they have a clean bathroom which is hard to come by when strolling on 2nd street.

Located on 2nd st. There is street parking but just be careful with the signs. I got the built my own cinnamon roll. I went with peanut butter frosting, bananas, strawberry jam, graham crackers, and marshmallows. The base roll was warm, soft, and fluffy, and the peanut butter frosting was rich without being too heavy. The bananas and strawberry jam gave it that PB&J vibe, and the graham crackers and marshmallows added a nice little s'mores twist with some crunch and sweetness. The place itself is clean and bright, and the staff was super friendly and patient while I took my time deciding on toppings. Everything came out fresh and looked just as good as it tasted. The aroma in the place was amazing.

7/10 Long Beach Roll - MID ASF. Sorry, I hate to say it, especially since I've been looking for a cinnamon roll spot, ideally a mom and pop place, but this was very mid. The bread was super thick and honestly the roll itself didn't look very appetizing. My friend ordered about 4 to take home and didn't like any of them.

Mini buns
Desiree V.

Stopped by this cinnamon roll shop and loved how many options they had. I went with the 3-pack of mini buns and they were delicious...perfectly sweet with a generous amount of frosting to go with them. The staff was also really friendly and gave solid recommendations.

I ordered 2 1/2 dozen strawberries for a bridal shower and I thought for sure they would be pretty and fancy Looking. They look like they were made at home. The chocolate was melted and not smooth, they were tiny, and they do not look good. I was so embarrassed to bring them out and they were soooo expensive. Also I ordered a raspberry cinnaroll and they ran out of raspberries and didn't even tell me. I cannot believe I spent so much money on these strawberries- if you don't have anyone who can decorate and make them to look legit from an actual place and not like I dipped them at home, maybe don't offer them.

Lemon berry cake

When you first arrive you can literally smell the goodness. It's a small shop that packs lots of treats. From cinnamon rolls to banana bread and cookies, this place is dessert heaven. We tried pretty much one of everything. The lady who helped us was super nice and recommended lots of different things to try. The buns were so good! You can get fresh toppings like strawberries and bananas and the frosting is perfection. I recommend

7/14/25 By far one of the better tasting VEGAN cinnamon rolls I've ever had! Service is friendly & efficient. The shop is a bit small with a few chairs inside to sit & enjoy your treats. It's clean with a few cute wall posters. My order for a regular cinnamon roll & one with banana cream frosting topped with blueberries! I should added strawberries it it was a good pairing. It was much too sweet for my taste but it was definitely best eaten n while still freshly made, warm & fluffy, moist. I would always expect vegan anything to be dry & flavorless but these were the opposite. Delicious & would definitely satisfy your sweet tooth for sure

The smells brought me in.... Unfortunately not on my diet at this time but the smells were heavenly and the display very tempting. Great service and chatty employees. Please come and create your own adventure.

Crystal G.

We were really grateful they happen to be doing their deep cleaning and left their doors open. They were willing to bake whatever we wanted. We just had to wait 15 minutes. I was grateful to have whatever they had on the counter. We parked right next to this building so afterwards I noticed as seen on Shark Tank sticker on their window. I'm definitely gonna go look for the episode. Customer service was amazing. They were so friendly. Even though I had my dessert the next day, it still tasted amazing. Good job.

Maple Banana
Bryan L.

Great cinnamon rolls. They always come out hot and so fresh! It's delicious but do not get the dole whip soft serve. Soft serve is milk and cream. What they have does not have any dairy and is more "icey".

the couple who works here are so sweet! they let us go in and order since they were cleaning up before closing. they offered us some pumpkin frosting as well. everything's delicious and crafted with so much care. ‍ love this place :)

Did the seating permanently go away? First they reduced it to 2 outdoor tables, today (Sunday) there were no tables at all to sit and enjoy.

No tables inside but maybe some stools for those waiting on their order.

I've been looking for good vegan places all over and would probably never have tried otherwise. Welp, vegan or not, I'll be coming back to PlanTita's after my fast because it was THAT good. The crispy corn tortilla was light, slightly salty and greasy JUST like I like it! The corn ribs were seasoned to the "bone". The pozole had jackfruit which was perfect since I don't do a lot of soy or tofu and it was good. Had enough for hubby to eat the next day. The breakfast burrito was a 10/10. I had enough to eat the next day also. My daughter said the Horchata was flavorful, but was too thick for her liking. Service was great. The faculty was clean and you can eat there in complete comfort. The parking was limited but there was street parking as well. I spent a good $100 on food but I was completely satisfied.

I arrived for an early dinner on a Tuesday night and there was plenty of seating to choose from. It felt cozy, comfortable and intimate and I loved the authentic Mexican decor. I originally planned on ordering a burrito and I actually had the faux meat all planned out in my head. But then, I was handed a seasonal specials menu so I knew I had to order from that! I love fall dishes and there were even pancakes on the menu. Nothing beats breakfast for dinner and my sweet tooth was hitting strong that day. The food came out in a great time where I could see they were making my meal fresh with lots of care. It came out with a beautiful presentation, topped with a lovely coconut cinnamon sauce and fresh bananas, toasted coconut and nuts. The pancakes were some of the best I've had and were so light and fluffy. It was just the right amount of sweetness to be indulgent without being sickeningly so. I loved the crunch of the coconut and nuts to contrast the softness of the banana slices. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it left me feeling full and satisfied. Parking was super easy in their lot and plenty of street parking was available. The meal was also affordable. I will definitely return again soon the next time I'm in Long Beach and next time will try their Mexican dishes! I highly recommend this fantastic restaurant!

Phenomenal food, and I'm not even vegan!…read more I'm doing a no-meat fast for October, and finding food I really like has been challenging. This place blew me away. Everything tasted freshly prepared and arrived piping hot (no heat lamp!). Here's what we tried: * Olives, 9/10: I'm not a huge olive fan, but these were delicious, served hot with grilled bread. * Carciofi salad, 9/10: A lighter choice that still delivered on flavor. I'd love to try the Caesar next time. * Risotto, 10/10: Rich, flavorful, and full of garlic, with finely chopped mushrooms. * Gigli, 10/10: The standout for me! If we hadn't been at a vegan restaurant, I wouldn't have known it wasn't meat. I usually don't enjoy tofu or soy, but the seasoning was excellent without being overly salty. Highly recommend. My only question was about the "goat cheese." I wasn't sure what the vegan version was made from and would have liked a little clarification. The restaurant is small, clean, and quaint, with a casual atmosphere. There's a small free parking lot in the back, plus street parking. I honestly can't wait to go back after my fast is over!

Absolutely loved this space!…read more They have a small lot behind their building, otherwise there is street parking.

It was way too buttery and the pastrami did not taste like pastrami - texture and flavor were not similar. Their vegan pastrami also had a weird taste (maybe seitan?). Vietnamese Coffee - 1/5 Did not taste similar to the real thing. The mixture also did not dissolve well so I would skip this. Service was friendly, but the wait time for the food was quite long, even for drinks.

Plates, utensils or anything else you need, go get it yourself. BUT none of that really bothered us. It's a hole in the wall place, we weren't walking in expecting white tablecloths. The other odd thing was that place opens at 1pm (who opens at 1? most people are done with lunch by then and its too early for dinner). Anyways we got there right at open so we were the first ones in an empty restaurant. It still took an HOUR to get our food. One hour for the first and only order in the building. A few others came in a couple minutes behind us and they were still sitting there past the hour and half mark. There's slow and then there's this where slow loses its definition. Food was good but when you've been starving for a long time anything would taste good so take that for what its worth. Prices aren't cheap either, 14-16$ a dish, which is proper sit down restaurant money not a person running the truck type business place. I don't really blame the guy. He's the cook and the server and the cleanup all at once and you can tell he's putting effort into the food. But one person can't run a restaurant on his own and I'm not going back to wait another time to prove it.

Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

Came for the $3 Taco Tuesday night. Surprisingly not busy! Was worried about parking on the street…read morebut luckily we found a spot not too far of a walk away. They had sports playing on the TVs and the interior is pretty small. It's more of a casual vibe good for a chill night out. It kinda feels like a place where you order at the front and get takeout, but they have someone who will wait on your table if you choose to dine in. I came with a vegetarian friend and we had a fun time sampling the different taco meats and rating each. Here is my ranking: 1. Asada - I hate to be basic, but this was good for what it was. It tasted like they might have used mushroom meat, but this takes place as #1 for me because I think it could be a general crowd pleaser for any non-vegetarian. On the contrary, my vegetarian friend did not like it because she found it too dry. 2. Barbacoa - A very, very close second. The only reason it places behind asada is because asada is a classic. Barbacoa has good texture and I could eat a lot of these too. 3. Chorizo - This was the closest to tasting like its actual counterpart. I could eat a bunch of chorizo. Crumbly meat with lots of flavor. 4. Tinga - I'm not as familiar with tinga meat, but the pickled red onion that went with this taco gave it a savory taste. Good to try out but you're not missing out if you choose other flavors. 5. Chicken - Tasted like tofu meat? Not bad - I don't usually pick chicken for taco meat so this might be a personal preference choice. 6. Pastor - Sweet, but did not taste like pastor. Had a little trouble distinguishing between the pastor and the tinga at first, but came to the conclusion the pastor was the one with pineapple on it. I mostly prefer savory meats and while I don't mind the pineapple, the pastor I usually have is not sweet itself. If you like sweet meats, this might be worth getting. 7. Potato - Everybody can skip the potato. It's a fried potato taco, but the potato they use resembles a breakfast hash. The crispiness is nice, but the texture is flaky and the sauce doesn't save it. Even my vegetarian friend was let down by this one even though she had high hopes and usually likes potato tacos. Overall the server told us most of the taco meats were soybean based (not the pastor). I think the chorizo might be falafel, but that's a guess? Ended our meal with the Tres Leches as a dessert. Frosting is buttery and sweet (maybe a little too much frosting) but the cake goes super well with the milk. It sits in a soy milk bath which is a first for me. I wish they had added more soy milk! The menu is huge though. I was very tempted to try other stuff on the menu so I am very open to coming back and trying the breakfast platter (or getting more tacos again, yum).

They also had a pastry case filled with some drool worthy cakes. The friendly employee quickly found my order. The menu was vast but I ordered an indulgent chocolate crepe, as I was craving something sweet and light. The crepe had a lovely pillowy texture and was so heavenly, both the chocolate sauce and chocolate mousse were so rich and decadent and had me wanting more! I loved the freshness, sweetness and juiciness of the berries! The coconut whipped cream really took it over the top and added a nice airiness. Their crepes are must haves and I'm dying to try more of them! I will definitely be back soon to this location or one of their other conveniently located ones!

THIS REVIEW IS FOR HTUNS POP-UP INSIDE BLUE BIRD SUSHI TUESDAY MORNINGS THROUGHOUT OCTOBER! TLDR:…read moreGO WHILE YOU CAN! I am not a tea person, generally. I came to Blue Bird expecting to find Juu coffee, and happened upon HTUNS (the "H" is silent). After looking down at the menu taped to the counter and seeing only Matcha and Tea, I asked, "but you still have regular coffee, right?" They did not, in fact, have regular coffee. And it's a good thing, because otherwise I never would have discovered this delicious treat. I got a BBL for breakfast. What I found out immediately was Burmese Brewed Latte, I ordered the BBL with a salted vanilla cream top. When I asked what it was exactly they told me it was a brewed black tea sweetened with cream and sweetened condensed milk. So I immediately was like ooooh, kinda like vietnamese coffee meets milk tea? And they were like sorta. The best way I can describe it is kind of like an iced tea with a cream foam topper?? I don't drink a lot of boba, but it's not as sweet, which I prefer. You can really still taste the tea which is so, so good. The foam itself is very light, and not overly vanilla-flavored. Just enough to make it creamy, but truly let the tea stand out. I didn't taste the salt at first, and then I got a piece in a sip and it was like a delightful little pop of flavor. That only happened a couple of times, but was so yum, otherwise the salt was just there to mellow out the sweetness, like melty vanilla ice cream. I feel like I'm going to be thinking about this tea all week until they come back next Tuesday. HTUNS will be popping up inside Blue Bird Sushi every Tuesday morning the rest of this month. They also plan to bring in breakfast as soon as next month. She said it wouldn't be traditional American breakfast, and I said good, that's the point! I'm not sure I've ever truly had Burmese food, so this has me extremely excited. I googled what a traditional Burmese breakfast might look like, and wow I can't wait to see what menu they pull together for this. My mouth is watering already! I haven't traveled that far east, so I was curious about where Burma was exactly. The closest other countries surrounding it are China, India, and Thailand. Vietnam is not far away either. This is like all my favorite regions for food, so I'm so excited to have a new breakfast experience in the coming months.

Bluebird is another place that had been weighing heavily on my mind. I came shortly after opening…read moreand was the only customer. It has a small interior and more quaint for an intimate meal. Service from Hkawn was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Hokkaido Scallops, Yellowtail Carpaccio, and Sumo Roll. I highly recommend the scallops and carpaccio. The scallops were large and tasty and the carpaccio came with 8 thick pieces of delicious Yellowtail. The Sumo Roll was good, but not sure I'd order it again. I also enjoyed the Alicia Keys jams they were playing during the meal.

Definitely more of a Thai fusion spot instead of an authentic Thai food spot but so good!…read more For appetizers we got the chicken satay and the pork jerky. The chicken satay was to be expected nothing special but it was good, the pork jerky was phenomenal I've never had it before and really enjoyed it! The mains we got pad see ewe beef and the nutty chicken. Both were delicious and had good flavor! I will say that the spice levels here are pretty mild we got medium spicy but it was more like a between mild and medium spicy so if you like spice definitely ask for it! Portion sizes are pretty good here, the two of us had leftovers to take home! Thai tea presentation is super cute and unique! Flavor wise it's nothing special but presentation wise it's super cute w the popsicle and everything! Service was pretty fast we came in on a Saturday and only had to wait maybe 15 min for a table? We ordered everything at once and it all came really fast (ie: before we were even halfway through the appetizers the main entrees showed up). Waiters were overall pretty nice and did check on us a few times. Nice casual ambiance. Music choice is kind of interesting they were playing kpop when we were there. Overall I could see this being a great place to meetup w friends, maybe a cute place for a date given how cute the Thai tea presentation is. There is a small parking lot which is surprising for this area of Long Beach but take note that on the weekend it might be full! Otherwise there's street parking in the surrounding area.

There are so many Thai food places in Long Beach and I want to try ALL of them! Thankfully there is…read morea designated lot to park even though it's bordering Downtown. When we walked in, I immediately felt underdressed because the inside of the restaurant was decorated so nicely! The only slightly off-putting thing was how many flies there were because of the hot weather, but luckily the restaurant was prepared with little fans/propellers to keep them away from the food so it wasn't a problem while we were eating. We started with the crab rangoons, which we devoured. You can't go wrong with those and I'm glad they had it on their menu! For our mains, we tried the pad see ew and the panang curry. The pad see ew was great in flavor. I wish there were more veggies and that the beef was a bit less dry but it was not a big deal and still delicious. The panang curry was spicy and nutty. The tenderloin was the best part and practically melted in my mouth! Of course we got thai teas, which were very sweet. They were also huge and definitely shareable. Service was okay, we had to ask multiple times for certain things but they were busy so it is understandable. Definitely a great thai place for date night or plans with friends, but it seems to get pretty crowded so expect a wait! I'd probably come back to try more of their menu.
