Was finally able to stop in to the Loaded Cafe - Long Beach on a Friday morning for breakfast. It was decently good, with the food taste/quality being mixed, but having great service with solid value on some items. Loaded Cafe (and its sister bakery Panecito) has over 10 locations around Los Angeles and Orange County. It's a breakfast and brunch spot, mixing classic diner food with Mexican favorites. This location is the original, opened in 2012 in what used to be an IHOP. It is known for serving fresh conchas as a complementary starter (rather than chips n salsa). They frequently have credit card offers, giving back a percentage if activated. In our case, it turned out to be via Citi for 5% back (on top of the normal percentage for dining). My wife and I had stopped into this location previously last year, but found the lines and parking to be very full due to its popularity, letting us choose a different place. So this time, when we found we had an early errand to run on a Friday, we stopped by around 8am (around an hour after opening). This time parking was easy, and we were seated in a window booth. Only one server was working the front, so assuming that this was normal busyness. She did mention that the previous day (New Years Day) had been extremely busy. I was just grateful that there was no wait. Our server, Martha, was communicative throughout, apologizing for some delays (which we felt was normal considering her responsibilities). She brought us the 3 rolls, each served warm and frosted with a sugary spread. They were very good. My mother-in-law got the 2 Stack Buttermilk Pancakes ($4.99), which she really liked. One can get the AYCE deal for $5.99, but 2 was plenty for her. She also got tea, which was some hot water in a cup with a Lipton tea bag...was surprised how much that was ($4.29). My wife got Mini Crepe Combo ($12.99), which came with two eggs and a side of bacon. The crepes were OK, and the bacon was the cheap variety (very thin, would be OK with a burger or in a buffet). The eggs were ordered scrambled hard. Since I was the one who wanted to come here, I wanted something that was different from a typical diner experience but still breakfast. Crunchy Asada Chilaquile Steak ($22.99) was my choice, and it came with a side of hash browns. I loved the tortilla chips, each coated wth a mild sauce and the scrambled eggs together were a great combo. But the protein asada steak was not good...tasted old, clearly from either prepared frozen strips or too long marinated (I've had similar meat at huge menu restaurants that have fajitas on the menu, but don't really use the meat for anything else). Should have gone with the chicken strips (significantly cheaper and is a lot better from frozen). I'm one of those that actually prefers hash browns from a box in most cases (it can end up much more crunchy and not soggy), and they prepared really well here...with a very crispy outside. It would be a good base for any hash dish. Each table had a large selection of condiments, including 3 different types of hot sauces (all with habanero, which is too hot for me), and Sriracha hot chili sauce (nod to where this was located near Cambodia Town). I was politely declined when I asked for any salsa, instead routed towards the hot sauces. Our server was great throughout, with payment tableside, and we were in/out well under an hour. The food quality/value was OK but the service was great, so decided to just split the rating down the middle. A decent place to go if in the area and hungry, but definitely a lot more favorite diner spots in Long Beach that we would go to first.
Came here in a work ditch day. First of all they serve you a fresh mini concha to start off with. It was honestly one of the best I've had! It was warm, soft, moist, and loved the taste of cinnamon. We ordered the strawberry cheesecake pancakes and made it a combo. As well as the asada chilaquiles. Everything tasted really good! I loved the taste of the chilaquiles sauce. It was cheesy and almost had a chili taste to it. My scrambled eggs were very tender and cooked perfectly. Not dry at all. I definitely would come back soon!
Loaded Cafe is definitely one of my favorite breakfast diners in Long Beach. My favorite thing on the menu that I've tried is the loaded steak and eggs. The strawberry waffles are also really yummy. They also give you a side of Pan Dulce to start your meal which is a nice little bonus. Only downside is it does get busy here so there may be a wait, but they are usually still decently quick even when they are busy. The last time I came here it was raining outside and we got seated by the window which made it feel nice and cozy inside. They have a very extensive menu which can be a little overwhelming, but I would definitely like to come back and try more of their menu items in the future.
I have been hearing great things about Loaded Cafes, there are several around now. I was finally near our Long Beach location early enough for breakfast. I came in right after they opened (weekday)! The server even brewed a fresh pot of Decaf for me! I ordered the Original Breakfast that came with two sausage links (or bacon), two eggs, and two pancakes. The menu is huge with a lot of options. Definitely plan to take my family here. I am sure this place gets packed on the weekends, so suggest coming early! Parking - there is a good size lot behind the restaurant, and even the streets around it seem to have ample parking as well. Again, I sure the parking is more challenging on a weekend day. Service was excellent. My server was Martha.
They had a special for original breakfast for $5.75. (Instagram has it & we have to show it when you order to get the special price). Two pancakes, two eggs & two bacon/sausage/or ham. They give you a free concheta per person. Service was quick & friendly. Felt cozy & neighborly inside. There were families eating together as well as two tables with solo diners. I liked that they had a variety of people with varying numbers of people dining in. My friend liked the green hot sauce they had on the table and was able to purchase one bottle of it for $4. The pancakes were buttery and fluffy. Didn't need extra butter. Eggs were cooked exactly how we asked for. After we had our breakfast, my friend decided to pick up three different orders of breakfast to go for her family. They have 7 locations with two more on the way. We will definitely go back, either to this location or to one of their sister locations. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff & a parking lot (that's big in LB).
Never been here but I wanted breakfast. I noticed it's a chain restaurant so I decided to give it a try. The neighbor is sketchy, especially with the motel Nextdoor with sketchy people around it. Inside is like a mini Denys/ ihop. The music was good and the restroom was clean and big. I didn't know it was a Mexican spot till I looked at the food on the menu. It's definitely popular with the Mexican crowd. I'm Hispanic but not Mexican. What I order was all delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and the staff were nice. I took one star off because it took 30 minutes to get my food. It wasn't even busy when I ordered so I don't know what was the huge hold up. It started to get packed when my food finally showed up. I was planning to come back for Mother's Day but decided not to go because I would have to be there early to beat the rush and I didn't want to wait for 30 minutes for my food. I will definitely go back if I'm not in a rush to be somewhere and in the neighborhood
Trying out this place for the first time. I am impressed with their menu, they have soo many options to choose from. When we sta down they gave us complimentary conchas. Conchas are soo good, and they come warm. Coffe flight is interesting you can try different flavors horchata,caramel, and chocolate. Chocolate is my fav. Good customer service.
We went here for breakfast for the first time after passing by it numerous times. It was quiet when we visited, but the service was ready for us. We got menus, and the one in hand was a bit dirty. They were kind to bring us out some Mexican bread, which my girlfriend enjoyed. Nonetheless, I marched along and choose the steak and eggs with onions and mushrooms. My girlfriend talked about trying their pancakes, so I withdrew from getting roast. The plate I chose was really good. Eggs made right, steak cooked and seasoned well. The hash browns reminded me of ihop and dennys visually, but they were perfectly crispy and tasted so damn good. Turns out a lot of talk about their hash browns speaks volumes. They had a lot of sweet desserts on the menu, but I will definitely try their churro flavored dishes next time I come in. They have a lot of sweets to choose from that you can take home, so next time you come in. Choose wisely.
The loaded steak and eggs was as good as I remembered it. My dining companion thought it was good and stole a few bites of mine. I tried their chicken guacamole stacker. The pancake was good and they gave us a concha and some type of cookie as a house freebie. The menu definitely changed from last time I was here and they have a lot of treats on the menu. Staff was nice food wasn't expensive and came out quickly Nice spot for a brunch date with loved ones and friends Worth a stop if in Long Beach
OMG! What a find. My family and I had moved out of state and came back to visit. Needed a bite to eat before going to Universal studios. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. Before they take your order you are given some mini conchas. We all ordered the Basic Combo which came with 2 eggs, meat, hash browns and 2 large pancakes. I could of been fine with just the conchas and coffee. Would definitely recommend.
I came here on a Thursday afternoon. I wasn't really hungry however I did try a few things that my party had ordered. As a free appetizer they give you complementary mini conchas. And they're warm! They were delicious. I had the taquitos. I wasn't a fan, but I do like the fresh lettuce that they put on top with the fresh queso. I tried the French toast, those were really good. The shredded potato hashbrowns were pretty bland. Bacon and eggs were good. They have so many options. I will definitely come back because they have crêpes and my son is a huge fan of crêpes. They have so many options with toppings for pancakes, waffles French toast, and crêpes. They have differences or options in the front as well. I wish I would have taken a picture. They sell it by the slice for only five dollars. For me that is a great deal. They look so good! I will be going back. Funny parking, staff was friendly. Not that it matters but This looks like it was probably an old IHOP.

Stopped by after dropping off son at Poly High School. I've been driving by this place for many years but never eaten here. Loads cafe has excellent crepes amongst other menu items. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The service is fast. Lots of parking- I came at 7:30 when it just opened and started to get busy by the time I ate. Overall, if you are looking for a place near this area that is good, reasonably priced and fast friendly service, this is the place to go. I plan to take my son here after practice so he can chow down!!!! read more

Service was slow, she didn't take our order until 15 minutes sitting at our table. Order was two people so it wasn't big. I ordered chilaquiles and they were cold. Had to tell her to reheat. She forgot to bring the utensils so we sat there with our food waiting again for when she would walk buy to tell her we can't eat our food. It was a disappointing visit. read more

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!! The pancakes perfectly cooked, chorizo and eggs were flavorful and just enough spice! The beans and rice were so delicious my youngest was having a great time getting through that. I was so happy with the service and the music was early 2000's throwbacks which is right up my ally. The silverware was spotless which is sometimes hard to come by but very much appreciated 10/10 customer service and food quality. My daughter got the Nutella and strawberries crepe mini combo in the picture along with a Nutella shake. She really enjoyed both and she nearly finished the whole plate which is rare for her. read more

Unique and interesting spin on breakfast. Maybe not unique for hispanic people but for me it was. Great service and the free breakfast appetizers were a nice touch. Really liked all the menu choices you don't find on a regular breakfast menu. Will come back again if ever in long beach again. read more

It was okay. Here's what we ordered: Strawberry Banana French toast combo w/ scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns. Eggs overcooked, the way burger joints cook it, till it's dry. Hash browns overcooked. If you like it extra crispy you won't have a problem. Bacon overcooked. Too crispy for me. French toast was good after I asked the server to put some whipped cream on it. Husband ordered the super stacker. He loved it. His hash browns weren't overcooked like mines, tho, so he didn't share my pain lol Save your money and don't order these specialty drinks Strawberry pineapple blast (smoothie) $7.xx If you are looking for a sweet smoothie this isn't it. It tastes like those healthy smoothies you get at a juice bar. Green Juice blend $8.xx Taste exactly as a blend coming out of the nutribullet. For almost 9 bucks. And it was warm. The cup was cold. The green juice inside the cup was room temperature. Bleh. Including tip we paid close to $70 for mediocre food. Husband and I both agreed this is not a repeatable place for us. One and done, checked this place off the list. On to the next. read more

After several days of online ordering without issue. Today my order was not correct. After pointing this out & simply asking that the part of the order that was in complete be filled. The manager ( who then tells me she is the owner) Martha refused to fulfill the order. Then gives me the number of the website up provider & tells me I need to talk to them to get a refund ? Which considering they are not connected with the restaurant makes no sense. After called & being hung up on & then being told there is nothing she can do although she did claim to be owner . I must say this has to be one of the worst poorly managed restaurants I have ever dealt with .,, the rudeness , talk back & refusing to make things correct truly amazing that this Martha has any job let alone managing & claiming to own this restaurant read more
