Great ice cream and froyo! There's some seating outside, none inside.

I tried a few things from Renaud's while staying nearby. For my first visit I had a mini lemon tart…read moreand one of their small easter chocolates, which were on sale after the holiday. The lemon and meringue in the tart were very good: the citrus had a nice bite to it, it wasn't too sweet. I found the pastry a little thick, but that is sometimes an issue when making miniature tarts, as the pastry to filling ratio can get off-balance. The little dark chocolate bunny was ok, but honestly not any better than most retail chocolate bars for a much higher cost. On my second visit I stopped in on a morning for a matcha latte and ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was flaky and had a good balance of ham and cheese. They warm them up and it was the perfect temperature. The matcha latte was very disappointing, though. I didn't end up finishing it and threw most of it out. It was bright green, but had no real matcha flavor to speak of. Instead it tasted overwhelmingingly of vanilla. So much so that as it cooled it reminded me of drinking melted vanilla ice cream. I don't know if they use vanilla syrup by default as their sweetner, because I didn't ask for it, but if so it's an odd choice to make without telling people. Overall, a bit of a mixed bag.

It was my first time and I had questions. She clearly saw me but did not want to turn around to help anyone. And when I got her attention she gave me attitude. I asked her if the chocolate one was good and popular and she just said she didn't like chocolate. Renaurd, you need to better train her. She is unappreciative of her job and hating everyone. I ended up getting the Bomb, the exotic, the apple pie, and their rasberry white chocolate one. Thankfully the birthday person enjoyed them all. I would come back to get more items for the holidays but the girl working there makes me hesitant. It's located in Gelson towards the front.

The bun is fluffy and fresh; the egg is whipped incredibly to create this lofty taste; the cinnamon roll OMG. I enjoy their coffee extremely and look forward to it.

Will definitely ask them to make my son's first cake and try them out. Cheers!

Food 10/10 We came with all intentions have having breakfast but decided not to and opted for their pastries instead. Wow! we ordered their concha, monkey bread, and a pumpkin cheesecake bun. Incredible!! That monkey bread and pumpkin cheesecake bun were heavenly and I was so sad we got the last bun because I was ready to take one to go. All their pastries looked amazing so we'd absolutely come back to try those. There's also a bunch of savory option we'd love to try, not to mention their breakfast bagels! Vibes/Ambiance : 8/10 We came on a Saturday late morning and it wasn't too packed. The space itself is cute with minimal decorations but lots of seating options. It does feel a bit crowded in the seating area but it's not horrible. The bakery is very clean and seems like a great place to work/study because it's very quiet. Staff is friendly as well. Parking can be a bit tricky on the street but given that it's downtown, there are parking structure right around the Now for the coffee... Coffee 5/10 Honestly, the coffee was mid. We ordered a maple brown sugar latte and a mocha with an extra shot. The maple brown latte was pretty milky and a bit bitter. As for the mocha, we unfortunately didn't like it at all. The extra shot made it extremely bitter and even tasted burnt. We've had other places incorporate that extra shot so smoothly that it didn't change the taste profile of the coffee. Sad this wasn't our experience here. Buuuut 10000% recommend this place for their pastries/food options.

I usually never get anything coconut, but the app doesn't let us choose and we got one. By golly, it was the best of the lot. Had a pineapple filling. We were Very pleasantly surprised. We will be back to try the other flavors. Coincidentally they are vegan and just perfect. Go support them! There's a parking lot in the front and it has a couple of tables too.

Too Good To Go App Review…read more I found this place while searching online for vegan donuts, and I'm so glad I did! I loved it so much that I ended up going back the very next day.For such an amazing price, you get beautiful, gourmet-style vegan donuts with some really unique flavors. One that stood out to me was the Mango Tajín, but they have so many creative options that it's hard to choose just a few. This is a family-run shop, which made the experience even better. On my second visit, their daughter helped me, and she provided such wonderful customer service. She was so kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable, it was impressive to see someone so young doing such a great job. One of my favorite parts was getting the surprise box. After seeing all the incredible flavors on display, it was exciting to see what I'd end up with. I honestly felt like I hit the lottery on my second visit because two of the flavors I was really hoping to try were inside! Even after a few hours, or even the next day, the donuts still tasted amazing. The quality really stands out, and they held up so well. I even shared some with my mom, who isn't vegan, and now she keeps asking me to take her there. I'll probably be back in the next few days, and I'm sure I'll be posting another photo with all the donuts she picks out. Whether you're vegan or not, I highly recommend giving this place a try. These are some of the best vegan donuts I've had. They also have parking !

You can actually pick up on the different flavors, which I really enjoyed I also tried the hot Pinole solo as recommended to me as I didn't want any caffeine at that time.

Such a fun little spot in Long Beach, and I'll definitely be back when I'm in the mood for some good chocolate.

From the street, it looks like a small neighborhood chocolate shop, but walk through the door and the atmosphere takes you somewhere else. It feels like a little piece of old California and Mexico tucked into Long Beach. Mexican tile, warm wood, colorful cacao imagery, hanging plants and woven lighting fill the space. There are even traditional wooden molinillos, the Mexican whisks used to froth chocolate drinks. And then there's the chocolate. Californio is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker focusing on Mexican cacao and Mexican chocolate, with cacao sourced from places including Tabasco and Chiapas. Along the counter you'll find cases filled with freshly made chocolate bark: peanut, pistachio, macadamia and combinations like almond, date and chia seed. There are also plenty of chocolate bars to explore. The drinks continue the Mexican theme, with flavors such as a Veracruz Vanilla Latte, Cacao Latte and Mayan Mocha. They even sell little bottles of Veracruz vanilla extract to take home. One thing I especially liked is that this isn't simply a coffee shop decorated with Mexican imagery and selling somebody else's chocolate. Chocolate is actually being made here. They're working with Mexican cacao and producing chocolate in the shop daily. There's probably chocolate being made right now as you're reading this. If you're in Long Beach and love chocolate, Mexican cacao, coffee, or just discovering interesting small local businesses, come give Californio Chocolate a try. A little bit of Mexico, a little bit of old California, and a whole lot of chocolate.
