Once we were ready she had our table already prepared. We have to order inside first before you can be seated. Once seated our food came out not too long after. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We ordered the chilaquiles verde, short rib omelette, tropical pancakes (seasonal), and the mango curd french toast (seasonal). The chilaquiles verde was savory and tangy. It wasn't soggy at all and definitely one of my favorite dishes. The short rib omelette was savory but didn't give me any wow factor compared to the other dishes I ordered. The tropical pancakes were so pretty. I only tried a piece of it without the syrup which I think was a mistake because the kumquat syrup was my friend's favorite. I definitely need to try it again with the syrup. Best for last, mango curd French toast was my favorite! I fell in love with sweetness and tanginess of the mango curd. The French toast was soft and you can taste the butter. I wish it was a main menu item. I'll definitely be sad to see it go. They have lots of seating inside and outside.

Poached Neighborhood Kitchen presents itself as the kind of elevated brunch destination that…read morepromises thoughtful execution and a polished dining experience. Unfortunately, the reality falls noticeably short of that expectation. While the food itself is serviceable, it never rises beyond what you might expect from a standard at-home breakfast spread. Nothing on the table felt particularly memorable, inventive, or worth returning for. The biggest disappointment came in the details, but really lack thereof. The fruit served alongside the meal had the unmistakable appearance and texture of pre-packaged, bulk-distributed produce, lacking the freshness and vibrancy you would hope for from a restaurant positioning itself as a neighborhood kitchen. It gave more cafeteria than curated brunch. Service also struggled to meet even basic hospitality standards. Water refills required repeated attempts to get someone's attention, and neighboring tables were similarly left flagging down staff for utensils and tableware. Once the order was placed and food delivered, attentiveness seemed to disappear almost entirely. I'm not sure where the standard is set.. Given the location and atmosphere, there's an expectation of a more refined and welcoming experience, but the execution never quite supports the price point or reputation. If you do visit, avoid outdoor seating unless you're prepared for an even more disconnected service experience. Ultimately, there are far better places to spend your brunch budget. Especially when this is the kind of meal many could comfortably recreate at home with fresher ingredients and more care. If you're going to have competitive price points for these meals they should at least match.

My husband and I have visited 908 four times before, and unfortunately our past experiences were…read moredisappointing. One visit we waited over 40 minutes without being acknowledged, another time our order came out wrong, and another time the food arrived cold like it had been sitting for quite a while. Because of that, I honestly did not want to come back tonight. But I was craving a good steak, and after my husband suggested giving 908 another try, I reluctantly agreed. I noticed the filet mignon on the menu paired with broccolini and decided to go for it. From the moment we walked in, the experience felt completely different. The hostess was warm and welcoming and seated us immediately. A young man came over right away with waters and took our drink order, which already surprised us in the best way. Then Alex S came to our table, and he truly made the night exceptional. He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful in making sure my order was exactly how I wanted it. I mentioned that I didn't want a large piece of butter melting over the steak, and he happily accommodated that request. He even checked on the exact ounce size of the filet for me, which I appreciated. We ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer, and honestly, they were the best Brussels sprouts we've ever had. Perfectly cooked, not drowning in sauce, and absolutely packed with flavor. My 8 oz filet mignon was cooked perfectly medium rare, exactly as ordered. The broccolini was crisp, fresh, and not overly oily. Everything tasted thoughtful, balanced, and worth every dollar. Most importantly, Alex S delivered spectacular service from start to finish. We were genuinely shocked to learn this was his first night shift because he handled the dining room with professionalism, warmth, and confidence far beyond what we expected. Thank you, Alex S, for completely changing our impression of 908. Tonight's experience was excellent, and for the first time, we are actually excited to come back. Thanks again, Jed Dornoff

I've been looking for a good American-style breakfast place with a Southern touch, and this place absolutely delivered. First off, parking is easy because they have their own lot, already a win in Long Beach. The inside has a modern rustic diner vibe that feels cozy, clean, spacious, and welcoming without feeling overcrowded. I went on a Saturday morning around 9:30 AM, and although it was busy, the wait wasn't bad at all. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the vanilla latte and the shrimp and grits, and let me just say... the shrimp and grits were . Creamy, cheesy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and the portion size was generous enough for leftovers. Definitely some of the best shrimp and grits I've had locally. My cousin ordered the Lumberjack Special which comes with pancakes, sausage, eggs n potatoes but he upgraded his pancakes to one of the specialty pancakes; chocolate chip pancakes, which was an available option for a small upcharge. Overall, great food, great vibe, reasonable prices, and family-friendly. I'll definitely be back, this might become my regular breakfast spot.

My wife got the Chicken and Waffles and I got the Chilaquiles with a side of bacon. Food was delicious which made us want to come back and try the other items. As we got served more and more people were coming in. The restaurant was being manned by the mom ( who was the delicious cook) and the son who was attending to everyone with speedy service. We recommend this place for breakfast or lunch since they close early but we'll be back for sure.

Was looking to have breakfast/brunch somewhere near Lakewood and this place popped up with great…read morereviews. So bf and I decided to check it out. Aragon House Cafe is located on the corner of Clark Ave and Rose St, across the street from the liquor store. It's a small location and can be easy to miss. They have a small lot behind them of about 3-6 spots so you may need to grab street parking. Walking up to the cafe, they have an open window for to-go orders and the front door right next to it. As I mentioned, it's small; with about 6-8 tables. We decided to go on a Sunday around 10:15am (they have Yelp Reservations but it was empty at the time we arrived). There is a single use gender neutral restroom near the back as well. Marisol, helped us as well as the rest of the tables. The space began to fill which I told her is always a good sign. We started off with two cafe de olla, which if you aren't familiar is Mexican coffee and if available get over plain black coffee. It was the right amount of sweetness and fresh. For food, we wanted something sweet and an egg dish and we couldn't decide. I mentioned all the pancake flavors looked good and Marisol said that they were able to do different flavors instead of one flavor for a stack so we decided with the Matcha and Coffee pancake. For our savory dish we went with their Chilaquiles and added chicken. The pancakes were delicious. They had height to them and weren't dense, but a nice fluffiness. Both served with fresh whipped cream, and one with a matcha sauce, the other a coffee saucse, and berries. The matcha pancake was light and had a mild matcha flavor, we added a little syrup to it but it was so good. My favorite was the coffee pancake; it had pronounced coffee flavor throughout, and the sauce made it even better, no syrup needed. The Chilauiles were delicious as well, we got our eggs scrambled so our was topped with it. The chips were tossed in a spicy red sauce but had their crispiness intact, chicken was cubed and not dry, the eggs were scrambled just right as well. We polished that plate. The food here was amazing, and Marisol was a delight in serving us. Check this out if you're ever in the Bellflower area. The food items we got were amazing, but I imagine, as Marisol mentioned to us, all of their food items are good. Will def be back!

The cafe itself has a nice atmosphere and the staff was friendly, so I definitely wanted to like it more than I did. Unfortunately, the food was pretty lackluster for the price and the hype. Nothing tasted terrible, but nothing really stood out either. What really threw us off was when my friend's omelette came out with what looked like a Kraft Singles slice melted on top. At a cafe trying to have a more elevated brunch vibe, that just felt cheap and disappointing. Overall, I still appreciate having places like this in the area and maybe we just caught them on an off day, but the food quality didn't really match the experience we were hoping for.

Came across A Huevo Cafe on HeyLA and knew I had to try it, and it definitely lived up to the hype…read more The vibe is super fun and very LA, colorful, lively, and perfect for a brunch outing. It's not your typical brunch spot, and I liked that it had a unique Mexican twist on everything. I ordered their chilaquiles and a coffee, and both were solid. The chilaquiles were flavorful, well-portioned, and had that perfect balance of crunch and sauce. You can tell they put thought into their dishes. The coffee paired really well and didn't feel like an afterthought like it does at some brunch spots. Service was friendly and the place had a good energy without feeling overwhelming. It does get busy, so I'd recommend going a little earlier if you want to avoid a wait. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you saw it on HeyLA. Great food, cool atmosphere, and a nice switch-up from the usual brunch spots. I'll be back to try more.

A friend raved about this place and we had it in our "must try" list so what can I say about it now…read morethat we have tried it? Well my best way to explain it is if you're a foodie and love to check out different places, this is probably a great spot, but if you're someone who is looking for convenience and just wants to eat, this is probably not the place. The food is pretty good. We live pretty far so it was kinda fun to take the drive. We are maybe in-betweeners (lol) sometimes foodies sometimes just convenience so since we had time and were looking to try a new spot we were ok with the inconveniences, like parking, wow, finding parking is challenging, and the wait... geez... the wait... if you come a little later like brunch and are super hungry bring a snack. It was just the 2 of us and we waited almost an hour to get seated and then we also waited a long time for our food to arrive. The place is not huge so it's understandable. So taking those things into consideration, and that the food was pretty sold, we really liked it, I give it a solid 4 star rating.
