Zan L.

Originally opened in 2012, this is the first of 10 locations. I was really excited to try it and even drove down from Santa Monica for it and was super disappointed. First off, this area is quite rough and not the sort of place you would want to take a date or your mother. That being said, I love a good dive bar, so I was willing to give it a shot. When we arrived, there were only a few diners sitting and eating, and one waitress working. When we walked in she didn't say hi or anything but told us "it's going to be about 10 minutes" and then disappeared. About 20 minutes later, she came back and brought us to our table. We were the only ones waiting for a table as well in a party of two. Then we had to wait for our drink refills and just all around did not receive very good service. There is a large free parking lot on site, so parking is quite easy, but inside is actually very small. You can tell it's a remodeled IHOP location in that typical a-frame style, so it's a very narrow restaurant with very few tables. That being said, with only one waitress working, we had to wait quite some time to set our table and she seemed to be overtaxed. Also, the interior is not quite as clean as a traditional diner, think more along the lines of Denny's. I decided to order the Carne Asada Chilaquiles and thought it was just OK; the meat was a bit chewy, so you can tell they use cheaper ingredients. Also, the eggs were almost white, so you can tell they don't use amber yolk or high-quality eggs, definitely the large scale Costco or Walmart version. I also ordered a Caramel Iced Latte and was sad to hear when she told me that they were already all premade and that the dairy could not be adjusted. Having a premade latte just sitting there all day is not ideal. After all of this, when she brought over our bill, she asked us to review the restaurant. It felt extremely tacky to me and odd that after such bad service she would ask for a review, so I am following up on that for her now! I would not suggest, and won't be back to this location, or to any other Loaded locations. There are too many other great options extremely close by. Definitely the most disappointing breakfast of the last few months.

Free!

Free mini conchas when you first sit down is a nice touch. Friendly greeting, efficient ordering and food comes out quickly. We received frequent visits from the staff to make sure everything is ok or need anything. There was a birthday celebrated next to us and the staff came out and sang, giving them a free dessert. I ordered the Swedish Crepe combo - comes with eggs, sausage (or bacon) and hashbrowns. Swedish Crepes had a lingonberry syrup on top that was a bit too sweet for me. I would order that on the side so you can control the amount. Everything else was average with a price of $18.99. My husband ordered the Original Breakfast (11.99) with pancakes, sausage (or bacon) and eggs. He thought the pancakes were a little undercooked but had nice flavor and fluffiness. The location is next to LB City College and there's a sketchy motel next door. But inside was very clean and comfortable, frosted windows obscure your outside view.

Thank goodness I remembered to take a picture of the last yummy pan dulce we were served before they were all gone!

After my daughter ran in the Long Beach triathlon, I asked her what she wanted to eat. "Pancakes!", she said! And so we did! Loaded Café was the perfect place to go. Parking was easy, we got a table for five quickly enough, and the service was excellent. And she loved the pancakes! Everyone enjoyed their food, and I loved that my avocado toast had guacamole instead of just sliced avocados. The small pan dulces that were served while we waited were excellent. What a perfect place for any meal!

Dulce de Leche Crepes, Caramel Churro Stuffed French Toast, and Pambazo Sliders, Iced Coffee, and Coffee (Regular)...best breakfast ever, fresh, and tasty, plus great service, Richard was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was cold inside and super clean, plus great music.

Trio coffee
Alma G.

One start for friendly waiter, one star for complimentary pan dulce. Menu looked very promising! We got the pambazo sliders (no flavor), asada crispy chilaquiles (tasted like canned enchilada sauce and microwaved cheese, super bland meat), mazapán crepes (drenched in condensed milk), and the trio coffee (all watered down). Was excited to try this place but ended up very disappointed and will not be returning.

I really liked it. Fun, lots of food, nice staff. All that plus a cool donut thing when you get in and a coffee was like 25 dollars.

Strawberry shake

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good option for French-inspired eats in downtown LB…read more The hubby and I decided to stop in for brunch since we were in the area for the World Cup watch party. We'd been here a couple of times before, but only for drinks. The interior is quaint, with pretty typical Francophilic touches (pics of Parisian landmarks, etc). I decided on the Fit crepe, which is a buckwheat crepe filled with spinach and feta. Delicious, but the crepe was a bit dry around the edges. The drip coffee I got was great, however, and the hubby enjoyed his Veggie hash. Friendly service from the two servers, but they seemed a bit stretched--maybe it was more crowded than usual due to the watch party?

Found this place on the Aadvantage dining program. Parking is somewhat tight in the area so we…read moredecided to bus it on over. Not a super huge fan of French cuisine; however, the menu looked good and mostly reasonable prices. Restaurant is super cute with indoor/outdoor seating. We started off with a bottle of cab (41.00, ouch)! It was noted as a different brand on their menu and they came with a bottle of Josh Cellars which isn't a bad table wine but about 3 times the price! We ended up ordering the fondue for the app (24.00) which comes with bite size pieces of bread and diced apples. It was ok, a little too runny and had an interesting hint of beer flavor. Next up we both ordered the brie & prosciutto sandwich which came with a side of au gratin and greens. The sandwich was excellent but the potatoes were cold. We ended our meal sharing creme brulee for dessert. It was good but also served cold. Total bill incl tip: 163.00 bucks (double ouch)! Overall, meal and service was good, but I would forego the wine on a future visit as it was way overpriced for the brand we got as well as the cheese fondue. Will definitely be back though. Very comfy and charming atmosphere.

The place has such a great vibe. A few things to know: upstairs dining is first come, first served,…read moreand parking is conveniently located behind the restaurant. We started with the calamari, and I have to say, it was hands down the best calamari I've ever had! I substituted the chorizo aioli for garlic aioli. At first, I thought the crispy pieces were chips, but to my surprise, they were thinly sliced lemons. They were absolutely delicious and added such a unique, refreshing citrus flavor to the dish. I also ordered the salmon, which was delicious! Although it was slightly overcooked for my preference, the green sauce poured over it was incredible. The black rice complemented the dish perfectly and brought everything together beautifully. As for drinks, I tried the espresso martini, which was pretty good and a nice addition to the meal. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience. Between the inviting atmosphere, creative flavors, and delicious food, this was definitely a memorable late lunch. I would absolutely come back, especially for that calamari!

I've been here a handful of times and I might be done. I wouldn't argue that the food is mediocre,…read morebut it's not great either. I've gotten fish and chips a bunch of times; sometimes the fish great--but sometimes it is slightly under-fried. Today I tried their fried chicken sandwich and it was not great. The menu described the sandwiches coming with pickled vegetables, but it was very plain. The brioche bun was great, but it's not the selling point. The fries oddly also always come with a teaspoon of ketchup. My biggest gripe is the service. I stopped by to have lunch with my mom. I ordered a soda before we placed our food order. While we looked over the menu, I took a few sips of the soda and finished it. My mom drank her water, and finished it. The server came back and took the order, the drinks were empty and never refilled. Whatever, NBD. However, 10 more minutes passed and I flagged down a different server and asked for a refill. (My server had disappeared). The food came out eventually, my drink was nearly empty again--no refill. The runner asked if I needed anything else after setting the food down and I again asked if I could grab a refill (the server still has not come back to the table). I looked around and he was chatting it up with a bartender leaning against the wall and giggling. Super annoying-- I'm glad the culture here means that the employees are friends and can talk and joke around. I don't need constant engagement, but you can't let drinks stay empty for lengthy periods of time. Half way done with the food, we still had empty drinks. Server never came back, runner never came back. Finished the food and sat for ten mins. Flagged down yet again another server and asked for the check. My server made his was over with the check--tips START at 25%, then 23%, then 20% Our lunch was about $70 (without the tip). This isn't McDonald's. The food was meh and the service was terrible. The cost did not make me feel like there was any value given the lack of attentiveness and quality of the meal.
