Olives Gourmet easily makes my top five favorite businesses in Long Beach…read more This hole in the wall is packed with all your favorite goodies. It's the perfect spot to visit before any get together. Whether you're hosting a cocktail hour or football with the boys, Olives has you covered for every occasion. I can spend hours exploring their tight shelves of Italian goodies. Their offerings include unique beverages, homemade meals, baked goods, sauces, seasoning, dessert, cheese, meats, etc. It would be the ideal place to visit if you were building out a scrumptious cheese board! I especially love their sandwich bar. Everything is fresh and made to order. The selection is large, so you'll need to return to explore it all. Highly recommend the Naples panini and the turkey and brie.

Moved back to Belmont Heights after an eleven month stint in the hellzone that is DTLB…read more I've passed Olives Gourmet Grocer a million times and never thought to stop in. With my Afro Latino roots I was craving a Cubano sandwich and was thoughtful enough to grab a "Spicy Steve" and the service was attentive and top tier at the same darn time It's a quaint spot and mad me fee like I was diving into the better unknown secrets of Belmont Heights with pleasant results. Now what should never be allowed is the tasteless, seasonless and soulless potato salad that was presented to me at the counter which should be overhauled or punishable to the chef and crew by making them eat a years supply of this horrific concoction. All in all it was a delightful surprise and I'll be back shortly to enjoy that next round of fantastic sandwiches ! P.S. For the love of God rethink that potato solid it's a good way to lose business if it's that memorable !

It was excellent and I will definitely order again! I love their Squaw Bread and it paired perfectly with the chicken salad! Very generous serving and I definitely could habe saved half for later but I ate it all. What was very nice, they wrote Happy Birthday on my sandwich wrapoer! I also ordered a side, Street Corn. It's our family favorite side. So good! I only had a taste and saved it for dinner with my family! All of their sides arwrapper! Service as always was friendly and helpful.

Breakfast Burrito rating: 4 stars Mom-and-pop neighborhood…read morevibe: 5 stars I love running into vintage shops that have been in business since before I was born. Long before the invasion of 7-Elevens, these small corner markets kept neighborhoods thriving. I was really impressed by their selection: beef jerky in a jar, unique beverages you won't find at typical convenience stores, and homemade goods and sandwiches. I even picked up a loaf of sourdough bread made in San Diego. The breakfast burrito was good, though not quite in the legendary tier. It was generously packed with eggs and small pieces of avocado. Their hot sauce had a nice kick, but I definitely could have used a bit more of it on the burrito. Service was great. The owner asked if I needed help finding anything, and when I told him I was just browsing, he didn't pressure me at all. He simply pointed out a cooler behind the counter with even more beverage options, including Shasta soda in the mix.

It is a little on the pricier side, but the quality and taste of the food make it worth it. The atmosphere is casual, cozy, and welcoming, with that authentic neighborhood Italian deli feel. I also really like all the changes they've made to the spot and the variety of Italian foods and products you can purchase while you're there. Every time I've gone, I've seen the same cashier, and he is always so nice and friendly, which makes the experience even better. Great food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to!

This trip I got the ménage à trois and he got the Stephen Hawking. Both sandwiches were absolutely delicious and the special garlic aïoli sauce was amazing.

My brother in law attests to this place saying it's his favorite burger ever as well as the "best…read moreburger place in the world!" So we grabbed a couple of friends and went to Long Beach to check this place out! It is located on a side street but you can find parking in a small lot with the bar that this place is attached to. I'm assuming the bar orders from them to pass the food on to their patrons which is pretty cool imho. Anyways the inside itself is pretty tiny. I forgot to take a picture but it had LA Dodger colored sport figure heads painted on the wall. Pretty cool! (Even coming from an Angels fan) The prices itself are pretty pricey. I had to go for the Mike Tyson Burger. It was $18 for the burger and didn't include any drink or fries which kind of sucks honestly haha. I opted to pay for some fries and drink. Sadly, the soft drink machine is broken here and had to get a can soda. My food came out and please note that the fries come as a basket of fries only, so if you're eating solo and wanted some sides come hungry for sure haha. The burger itself looked really delicious! They had a special sauce on them and really thick patties but how did it taste? It was pretty good! The sauce served with it was delicious and paired well with the pastrami and the beef patties. The burger itself then became pretty messy but overall it was really good. The dudes at the front were really chill and even hooked us up with some ranch when they usually charge. Everyone else in my party enjoyed their food. But was it "the best burger place ever" as my in law claims? No haha. Don't get me wrong it's a really good burger place but the price for my entire meal was around $35. Definitely got what I paid for but I think you can get a quality burger with fries and drink for a way cheaper price. And you know with a working soda machine. I would say get a burger fix here if you got the money for it. The Mike Tyson did definitely knock me out!
