    A retail bakery on the campus of Long Beach Community College, the LBCC Bakery provides a variety of bakery products baked by students. It is open only Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 am to 12:40 pm, and from our observation, sells out of their products before then. It is located in the same building as the LBCC Bistro where we were having lunch, and was continually busy while we observed the line from our dining area. So after we finished our meal, we walked over. Unfortunately by that time (12:20), almost all the product had been sold out, but we were still able to pick up the last baguette ($3.35), 3 chocolate chip cookies ($1.50 each), and 3 snickerdoodles ($1.50 each). All of it was good, and as expected, the students manning the store were very friendly and helpful. Definitely a place to stop by if in the area. If dining at the nearby Bistro, pro tip is to go early while waiting for your food before they run out.

    FINALLY! All the times that I have gone they are never open, even when they're supposed to be. My friends and I finally got lucky. I got the vanilla ice latte and a strawberry cream puff. The service was fast and the workers were friendly. It is pretty small with the only option to take orders to-go because there are no seats available inside or outside. The strawberry cream puff was so good, I would definitely get it again. Trust me it's not as sweet as it looks and the bread has a great taste and texture (not dry at all). I would pass on the drinks but would try other food items.

    I've tried coming here multiple times but it's always been closed because they sell out?? They have a nice variety of pastries both savory and sweet! I decided to get a fruit tart which was extremely delicious and a pretty decent price about $3 and change. I also got the caramel iced latte which was okay, probably wouldn't get it again. I would love to come back and try some more pastries. The service was extremely quick, downside was there's no seats or tables near by.

    Freshman here at LBCC and the bakery has to be my favorite spot on campus. They open at 9am and their menu options are amazing! My boyfriend loved their breakfast burrito and I loved their pepperoni brioches. There are some menu items that are permanent and some that are new for the day. You can tell their chocolate chip cookies are made from love cause duh it's made by amazing culinary students! also, I'm literally OBSESSED with their Jamaica drink so much that I get it everyday. For real it's so refreshing Their lines can get long but they're so quick with the service and the wait time for your food after ordering is less than 4-5 minutes. seriously. Customer service is awesome and they do tend to run out of menu items around 12 but that's because it's just so good you can't even be mad! Their utensils are all compostable and biodegradable which I looooooove. What's not to love about this place. W for tha culinary students

    This student run bakery is located in the V building on the Long Beach City College campus. They sell baked goods and sandwiches created by culinary arts students at a low price. The line to order was very short (which I guess was an anomaly). I ordered a chocolate brownie, a chocolate croissant and a small loaf of ciabatta bread (about 6 inches in diameter). Total price was under $5. All were consumed later in the day. The chocolate brownie with walnuts was just "okay"; nothing special. A notch better was the bread, which was crunchy outside and pillowy soft inside. But the buttery-flakey croissant crammed full of chocolate was - and I sincerely mean this - the best chocolate croissant I ever remember eating. I assume different students bake every day so you may experience different results depending on the day. But for the price it's definitely worth it to take the chance if you find yourself on this campus.

    The concept is nice: students of culinary arts practice and hone their skills as they serve their patrons with very forgiving pallettes at a lower cost. In this case, I can't be as forgiving. My entire order was just wrong. From execution to ingestion. As I was passing the bakery on my morning walk, the smell of fresh bread and other sweet treats captured my attention. I arrived just as they opened and I was behind some very eager and happily faithful and returning customers. So from the display of freshly baked goods I chose a ham and cheese croissant, an oatmeal cranberry cookie and very French looking baguette. And that's where my delight ended. Hopefully it was just the first batch that was bad because how the customers in front of me praised this place made me expect some superior quality food. The croissant was not flaky and buttery but oily and soggy. The oatmeal cookie was more like a tasteless cracker. And my baguette was not French at all. I'm not always able to come here to enjoy some cheap eats and who knows if I'll try again. But I hope the students here practice some more and taste test before putting some unsuspecting sap like myself through this culinary disappointment.

    This was me and my friends 2nd time to the Summer Nights and last year we really really enjoyed it…read more Everything was delicious and we couldn't wait to go back. This time (yesterday), however, was not nearly the same experience. First of all, I realized we couldn't book a table for 8 people, so me and my friends book 2 tables for 8.30PM. I called asking if it's possible to put our tables together close or side by side, they said they will try their best. We all showed up at 8.30 and waited until around 9-9.15 because they only had 1 table ready. Ok. Come the time the other table opened and it's not even that close to each other. But it's okay, I respect the limitations on this part. No one came to us to take our order or even give us water until way later, and we got our drinks at 9.45. Another critique is that my friend called and ask how much corkage fee and they said $25. It turned out to be $40. Another disappointment, but it's ok. Not much can be done bout that part. Next thing is the food. We enjoyed the fried green beans. Crudo was really really salty, and it's not only 1 person thought that. We wondered if the kitchen mistakenly salted the fish twice. We enjoyed the peach salad. We ordered a few different pasta and the tagliatelle in particular was disappointing. It really lacked flavor that we had to mix the other pasta dish sauce to it. The pork plate was good, a bit small but we enjoyed it. Now the mussles and frites were disappointing too. The sauce just didn't do it for me (other friends agreed). I always talked really highly about Nonna Mercato (I also enjoyed the brunch so much) and always told people that this is one of my most favorite restaurants in Long Beach, but this one really missed the mark for me and my friends. I don't know if this would make us want to go to Summer Nights again next time. For $130 per person (after tax, tip, and corkage fees), I definitely hoped for a much better experience.

Our favorite is the chocolate concha. It is crisp, fresh, and has the slightest sourdough flavor. I tried the dona one time and while it was great. It was just too much for me. Literally, we had to bring it home. I would suggest splitting this because of its size and it has a lot of almond and jam so it's hefty. I also tried their jamon which was sooooo good. I would get this again. For drinks we have tried their Atole, Dulce de Leche and Horchata with Cold Brew. My new favorite is the Horchata. It is so well complimented by the cold brew and it's so smooth and not too sweet. My husband also liked the taste he tried but he went with my now second favorite the Dulce de Leche. What I love about this place is that everything is balanced. Its not too much of anything just perfect. The concha isn't too sweet. It's balanced by the sourdough which is complex. The coffees which anywhere else would be a sugar bomb are just right. The sugar highlights the brilliance of whatever it is paired with whether that is bread or coffee.

I'd easily sign up for this lineup to be my last meal on earth. I even ordered a sourdough bread loaf with olives so I could ride this high for several more days.

Their best seller, the beef empanada, was very flavorful and juicy. As for the chicken empanada, one of the most popular options, it was rich and creamy. Although the fillings were great, I thought the crust was too dry. I would skip these next time. The breakfast burrito was pretty good and comforting to eat. It was packed with scrambled eggs, onions, sausage, fries, mozzarella cheese, creamy cilantro sauce, and chipotle mayo. The ratio was just right. I enjoyed the combination of all the ingredients. In addition to savory goods, they offer plenty of sweets, pastries, and beverages. Make sure to look out for deals that they may have going on. If you buy a dozen empanadas, you can get 2 additional ones for free. They even have loyalty rewards you can sign up for.
