Don't listen to these senseless reviews, try it for yourself. The place is amazing I've been…read moremultiple times with my family, and have not had any issues. People leaving one and two stars for issues such as not having online ordering, or being a restaurant that isn't a silent zone or kid free simply isn't right. Don't come to a family restaurant and get upset that there are families!!

We walked in 15 min before they stopped taking orders. Right off the bat, super friendly servers…read moreand quick to help and give us the deets on the menu. Shout out to Jakob for being the sweetest and most helpful server. Amazing service! We knew what we wanted - brussel sprouts, cheese curds (squeakers) with marinara and a double pepperoni & mushroom pizza with ranch and hot honey on the side. Brussels were solid. Lots of fresh grated parm on them. Squeakers (cheese curds) were crispy and yummy. The star - the marinara!!! Perfect flavor - sweet and savory at the same time. Delicious! Then the pièce de résistance - the pizza. Delicious crust, crispy pepperoni and real earthy mushrooms. What took this pizza to the next level? Their house made ranch and their hot honey to dip it in! Bomb! How has this place only been open 100 days? Found it on TikTok and it did not disappoint! Extra star for impeccable music selection and beautiful minimalist pizza parlor decor. Gorgeous wood everywhere!

Truly the best pizza and parppadelle wagyu pasta I've ever had. And I kid you not, one of the best iced teas as well. I can't wait to come back next time I visit long beach!

I loved Marlena for dinner so much that I had to come back for brunch. I'm actually not a fan of…read morebrunch or breakfast foods in general, but I had a feeling that Marlena could change that. I got the biscuits and gravy, lemon ricotta pancakes, and breakfast pizza. The biscuits and gravy were SO GOOD, I just wish they gave me more! I might've been in a food coma all day though. The biscuits are very buttery, and the gravy is very thick, so it's a decadent and heavy breakfast for sure. The lemon ricotta pancakes were light, fluffy, and bright. I enjoyed them a lot compared to a classic pancake. The breakfast pizza was awesome. Charred pizza crust, topped with hollandaise, good bacon, and few leafy greens to make you feel better about yourself. I enjoyed everything with a fresh orange juice mimosa and thoroughly enjoyed my brunch by the bay.

A couple minutes later, the hostess working on 7/3 gave our reserved outdoor table to a couple who just walked up. We were then told we'd have to wait if we still wanted to sit outside. If reservations aren't going to be honored, there's little point in making one. After such poor service before we were even seated, we decided not to stay and took our business elsewhere. Very disappointing.

Absolutely a wonderful cafe. We were kindly helped by an attentive employee and he was very…read moreknowledgeable. He answered all our questions and had amazing recommendations. The inside is tasteful, and although there is no seating, there is plenty outside. The matcha and espresso are honestly on the lighter side, but the flavorings are strong while not being too sweet. They evidently put much thought and development behind all their drinks, and each one we had was well balanced and very tasty. I thought the Baguio Banana was particularly unique and very good. The matcha jasmine held much of the jasmine flavor, but maybe a little light on the matcha. For my boyfriend, this was perfect for him!
