    Really amazing vibe parking is pretty awful though unless I missed a parking lot somewhere. Food and drinks are amazing and unique! I would def recommend if you're a local or anywhere in LA it's just really unique and this is probably going to blow up in the future

    Absolutely stellar popcorn chicken curry pizza with a zesty khao soi vibe! We popped into this cafe and were pleasantly surprised by the creative/unique and extensive menu - each item is intentional and trendy! We got the blueberry matcha and pina colada matcha which tasted so flavorful. Their berries croissant French toast was not only beautifully presented, but a unique take on a classic French toast dish. Seems like this spot is family-run, and I noticed that workers were speedy and thoughtful with their service.

    THIS PLACE RIGHT HERE!!! All surrounding brunch spots... meet your match. This family-owned gem is about to take over the downtown brunch scene. My family and I stopped in on a Saturday around 10 a.m. The place was already packed with a line out the door, but don't let that scare you. The wait moved fast, and the staff ran that dining room like a well-oiled machine while somehow making you feel like you were a guest in their home. You order at the front, grab your number, then impatiently wait for greatness. Right away, the baristas were brewing, shaking, and stirring up some of the best drinks I've had in a long time. Matcha, mochas... Starbucks could NEVER. I ordered the banana strawberry matcha and an iced mocha. While I was at the counter, I obviously had to grab pastries because... self-control wasn't invited. The display alone had me ready to order 14 of 'em. I went with the tiramisu cookie, guava croissant, and strawberry cream croissant. Now for the main event. There were four of us, so naturally we ordered enough food for a small village. Savory pancakes, a bulgogi breakfast burrito with fries, steak and eggs, another breakfast burrito, and the Thai pizza. Yep. We came to eat. While we waited, I took in the atmosphere. The entire place felt warm and inviting. Sunlight poured through the windows, giving it the feeling of eating breakfast on your family's back patio. Just laughter, clinking forks, happy conversations, and those little "mmm" moments happening at every table. That's always a good sign. The Thai pizza hit the table first. Fresh out of the oven and straight to Flavor Town. The crust had to be handmade because there was no way something that good came from a freezer. The basil, sausage, and everything working together made this anything but your average pizza. It was different--in the best way possible. Five minutes later... Gone. Next up were the savory pancakes. At first glance, they looked simple. Then I took a bite. That little stack of fluffy pancakes topped with berry butter didn't even need syrup. THANK YOU for understanding that pancakes don't need to cover an entire plate to be memorable. These were soft, flavorful, perfectly sweet, and somehow disappeared before I could fully appreciate everything else on the plate. Speaking of everything else... The steamed eggs were light and fluffy. The hash browns? Listen... Whatever they're doing to those potatoes back there needs to be studied. They had the perfect golden crunch with this buttery goodness that made me question every hash brown I've ever eaten. Fried in beef tallow? Magic? I don't know. I just know I wanted another order immediately. The bacon deserved its own shoutout too. Fresh, crispy, and full of flavor--not bacon that was cooked at 5 a.m. and has been sitting around waiting for someone's Grand Slam order. This bacon had integrity. Then came the steak and eggs. The steak was tender, juicy, and seasoned perfectly. I had absolutely no interest in sharing. But somehow the potatoes still managed to steal part of the spotlight. Again... Those potatoes. Give me 14 of those babies to go. The breakfast burritos were packed with flavor, but those crispy potatoes inside gave them the texture that took them from good to unforgettable. And that green aioli? Bottle that stuff up. Immediately. This place just gets it. They understand that quality matters. Every ingredient tasted intentional, every dish felt like someone actually cared before it hit the table. Too many restaurants are cutting corners these days, and I will happily support businesses that refuse to compromise. Worth every penny. This is hands down one of the best brunch spots I've been to in a long time, and I already can't wait to come back. Do yourself a favor and go. Just don't blame me when there's a line.

    Lazy Dough is this interesting café located on fourth Street in the LBC. The design of this establishment is very nice. They have very nice interior seating, as well as a very nice outdoor patio space. The way this place works is that you go inside and order what you want. You can do this is one of two ways. They have a digital ordering station, if that's your preference. Or, you can place your order with the staff member at the front counter. Your choice. In terms of the food, it's all very interesting. They have some pretty nice choices. What they offer is kind of unique takes on a traditional Americana and beyond. The main thing about this restaurant to keep in mind is that they have a very extensive drink list. Whether you want lattes, cappuccinos, chais they have a lot of choices. I mean, really a lot of choices! The only downside to this café, if you want to call it that, is that this is a population location. From this, if there are a lot of people in front of you, having put in their order, you may have to wait awhile to get your meal. Overall, this a nice café that offers some good food and a lot drinks.

    Lazy Dough is a gem. Food quality & taste: 5 stars Value: 5 stars Service & ambiance: 5 stars We tried the sweet pancakes, eggs benedict croissant, and the steak scramble. Each was perfect. The sliced/cubed steak had a hint of sweetness and was tender. If you're picky about eggs benedict, you'll appreciate this place. The coconut cream that accompanied the pancakes is addictive. The service was great. Looking forward to returning to try different things on the menu. I bookmarked Lazy Dough as a place to bring friends and family.

    Front entry to exit, I had a great experience here. You order in front take a number and seat yourself. I observed a dedicated barista making the drinks and making match the traditional way with a bamboo wisk and personality order.I loved this! The food comes out pretty fast with minimal wait time. The berry pancakes had a delicious berry puree and sweet whipping on top. The pancakes combo also had a delicious berry butter and was the only dish that had eggs, protein and potatoes. The only ding would be to not use microwaved eggs. The eggs seemed like they were not cooked fresh. It did not take away from meal. The ambiance was super chill with both indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is a headache. Because it's located in a residential area. Bring patience and just know it's worth it.

    We found this spot on instagram and had to try out yet another great restaraunt on fourth street. What got me was the breakfast burritos that they served, and thats what i maintained my focus on for the morning. Its a very nicely decorated place and there is a lot of seating inside and some out on the patio. They had a lot of pastry made and their coffee options were wide. Since i was getting the burrito, my wife tried out the steak and eggs because the eggs were prepared sunny side up. Her skillet had mushrooms and onions which flavored the meat even more. Her potatoes were all right. The ones in my chorizo breakfast burrito were better as hash browns, and the Chimichurri sauce went well with every bite i took. We decided to try out the strawberry croissant that had custard and slices of the fruit inside. Every bite was fantastic in that pastry and i cant wait to have it again at my next visit. They definitely get busy on a weekend so come early and enjoy whatever calls to your hearts and minds.

    Very welcoming. The garlic bread had this sweet touch and I absolutely loved it. Avocado toast was the star of the show though- oh but don't get me started on the tiramisu cookie! Such deliciousness! I'd definitely come back. The layout is pretty spacious.

    Came here for a birthday brunch before a couple activities in Long Beach and this spot didn't disappoint! I absolutely loved the vibe of the place. You order at the front and you take your table stand with the number and they bring your order out to you. They have plenty of seating indoor and outdoor but the parking situation is limited but there's street parking all around. They make all of their pastries in house daily and i definitely recommend trying something that's made in-house I ordered the Beef Bulgogi Burrito and a Banana Matcha. My date ordered the Eggs Benedict Croissant Sandwich and a Strawberry Matcha. Eggs Benedict Croissant sandwich 5/5: The croissant was very flaky and light, you can tell it's made in-house with how it wasn't tough like some croissants out there. Swapped the Canadian bacon with regular bacon and it was fire. The eggs Benedict idea inside of a sandwich was new to me and I'd definitely order it again. Just be careful with the yolk, it might just explode on you lol Bulgogi Burrito 4.5/5 The only thing I'd change about it is the way they roll it, it affected the ratio of egg to tater tots and meat per bite. Other than that, the actual ratio of ingredients was great, the mango salsa they give on the side is fire, and the Aji sauce (tastes like the Peruvian green sauce) was ABSOLUTELY FIRE I had to get extra sauce because I used it on literally every bite. Strawberry matcha 5/5 This was my pick, the balance of matcha to strawberry was great, definitely would recommend this Banana Matcha 4/5 This was a great pick as well but I feel that the banana overpowered the matcha

    I have visited this place several times, and it is always a great experience. The staff works incredibly hard and the person I assume is the owner is there alongside his staff. They offer both a traditional register and a self-service kiosk, which is convenient if you prefer placing your order on your own. There is plenty of seating available, both indoors and outdoors, making it a comfortable place to dine regardless of how busy it gets. The food has been consistently tasty every time I have visited. I would especially recommend trying the strawberry matcha and the egg skillet. Both are solid choices and worth ordering.

    Açaí bowl

    Ok, let me just start off by saying, one of the best açaí bowls I have ever had!!! So much good stuff in it! I would go back just for that. Place gets pretty packed so just be prepared. All the employees were very helpful though, the menu is good and they have a ton of fun bakery type treats and new drinks all the time. Looking in it doesn't look like much, but it is pretty cute inside! Definitely a good stop in LB!

    What a wonderful family-owned business! The food was excellent, with a unique selection you don't find everywhere. Everything we tried was delicious and clearly made with care. And the specialty coffees were absolutely incredible, creative, flavorful, and worth coming back for. You can really feel the pride this family puts into their business. Highly recommend!

    Cindy N.

    It's one of those restaurants where you order and pay first, and then seat yourself. Theres a small patio outside with limited seating, and more tables inside. The food takes a minute. If you're ordering on the phone, be sure to give them at least half an hour. The BLT everything ciabatta and beef bulgogi burrito were very yummy. Very solid breakfast or brunch. The strawberry matcha and coffee were also very good and not too sweet.

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers.

Although I get annoyed at ordering at the front, I will say they try and speed the process up as much as possible. I've tried quite a few dishes on the menu and still have a few left to experience, but my go to is always something with bacon. The potatoes are cooked perfectly, along with the eggs, and steak (I believe they are cooking sous vide so they turns out perfectly every time) They have outside patio section that is shaded, along with little fans to help in case flies get in the way. This is a perfect brunch spot or a place to take yourself on a solo date, or family that's in town.

    It was my first time coming to Zuzu's Petals and I definitely have a lot of thoughts!…read more First, the ambiance and aesthetics are very cute. Everything feels clean, classy and thoughtfully put together. When you first arrive, seeing the line out the door can be a little intimidating. Usually at places like this, I feel like I have to fight for my life to find a table, but thankfully that wasn't the case here. The staff was very kind and asks how many are in your party and helps you get a table, which made everything much less stressful. They also give you menus while you wait so you can decide what you want ahead of time. We arrived at 10:30am and our wait was about 30 minutes so by the time we were able to order at 11am, the lunch menu was also available. I ordered the tater tots, Cinnagave Shaken Espresso, Dutch Baby Pancake and country sourdough toast with jam. With tax and tip, my total came out to around $40. It's definitely pricier than what I normally pay for breakfast. Most entrées range from $17-$34 and coffees are around $5-$10, so you can easily spend $30+ for one person. In these hard times, that's not exactly ideal for me. I also wanted to try a pastry to get the full experience, but when I found out the small blackberry danish was $7, I decided to pass. I just couldn't justify getting that close to $50 for breakfast for one person. Now for the food! The country sourdough toast with jam was actually my favorite item. The homemade sourdough was incredible and honestly deserves its roses. It sounds like such a simple thing, but it was so well done and easily the standout for me. Visually, the Dutch Baby Pancake was beautiful and definitely impressive when it came out. I've always wanted to try one, so I was excited! I will say, I've read everywhere that Dutch babies are supposed to have more of a custardy center and even the photos I've seen look that way. Mine didn't really have that texture at all and tasted more like a crepe. Maybe it was a little overcooked? It wasn't bad, just not quite what I expected. Still delicious! Unfortunately, the tater tots were the biggest disappointment. They weren't crispy, didn't taste seasoned and sort of fell apart until they became one big potato mess. My cousins and I ended up not finishing them. One of my cousins ordered the summer peach and corn salad, which she liked! Just a heads-up that it's only available after 11 a.m. My other cousin got the skillet, she mentioned feeling a little disappointed since it tasted a little dry and didn't finish her plate. However they both ordered the Curious George drink and LOVED it! The Cinnagave Shaken Espresso was also fantastic. Coffee is definitely something they do very well here and I can see myself getting again. Overall, the aesthetics are adorable and I could see this being a great date spot. The coffee was fantastic, the sourdough was amazing, but the rest of the food was just okay for us. That was a little disappointing because everything sounds SO good on paper. Maybe we just caught them on an off day. The prices are probably the biggest thing holding me back from coming back regularly. Spending $30-$40+ per person for breakfast isn't really in my budget right now, but if this is within your price range, you may have a completely different experience. When I review a place, I try to take the overall experience, personal taste and effort into account. For now, I'm leaving Zuzu's Petals at 4 stars because the effort is definitely there, and what isn't my cup of tea may be someone else's liquid gold. I'd still give them another chance in the future... after I get paid!

The menu has a ton of really detailed options, each drink with its own depth. The menu changes seasonally but what doesn't change is the smoked old fashioned - a must-order. They smoke your drink in a glass container using applewood chips; it's quite a show and it also does make the drink much more enjoyable. Ask the bartender and they can also help guide you to a drink - I've done it a couple of times and always pleasantly surprised. Next up, the food! The hummus was very flavorful and paired with an amazing fluffy pita bread. The truffle fries were solid but the plate was HUGE, definitely needs a friend to share. The Nashville wings are the star of the show. I cannot stress this enough, this is worth a DRIVE for. The seasoning really does remind you of Howlin' Rays (the highest compliment) and the chicken is extremely crispy yet insanely juicy. The pickles and ranch that it comes with pairs so well. Do note that they are tossing it in pork fat, which enhances the depth but also makes it a little greasy at the end. I also wished they'd warn you this and offer to order it without it; especially for those who don't eat pork or for those trying to cut some calories. There's a happy hour menu too!!! So you can get drinks and food even cheaper. I cannot stop thinking about this place. It's such a sleeper. Head to Midnight Oil after a visit to continue your night.

    Navy Proof is the restaurant and bar inside the Westin Long Beach lobby. The open atrium with high…read moreceilings and large windows looks impressive, but in the early afternoon the sun made the space feel warm and greenhouse-like. The bartender was excellent. He went into the kitchen for fresh berries, muddled them with Tito's and soda, and made a genuinely refreshing summertime drink that helped with the heat...! I eventually ordered the Crispy Shrimp & Calamari to eat as my main (I was dining alone). I had recently had a very notable version of the same dish at a Canopy by Hilton in Washington DC, and unfortunately, this one did not measure up. The breading was average and the sweet chili aioli was poor. I asked for ranch instead, which was an improvement but still not great. The portion itself was fine. Service was solid and friendly! I'd rate the staff around a 4. Based on the food I had, the kitchen lands closer to a 2.5 to 3. Fine if you're already in the hotel and want something casual, but not an amazing choice for the fried seafood.
