Yema Cake (with mold)
Marianne L.

I bought a slice of yema cake yesterday and decided to save it today, only to be let down because of this (pictured). If the people running the business is reading this, please be wary of the door because of the insects flying in and out that's making their way inside your bread cases.

Buco Pie
Fatima M.

The best Buco Pie in town! I haven't had buco pie since I left the Philippines 15 years ago!! But Luisa and Sons nailed it!!

Pandesal and my thai tea..
Larry N.

The search for the delicious pandesal has been found! In the west side of Long Beach is where this place has been hiding. This golden bread is fresh, warm out of the oven. I love how its sweet enough but not so over powering. $2.49 for 6 rolls is a steal. There are also ensaymada and other desserts you can choose from, I will have to come back for the rest.

The customer service left a lot to be desired; the 2 employees were chatting as I walked in and didn't stop their conversation to assist.

This place deserves all the hype and then some. It's clean, they're friendly, and the bread is some…read moreof the most delicious bread I have ever had in my entire life. Just the textures are absolutely craveable (I type as I pick out fallen sesame seeds from my bolillo off of my sweater). Came in early on a midweek morning and the line was starting to form as I was leaving. Everything behind the glass looked good, I had already decided to grab a couple of bolillos to bring home but the Nixtamal Queen spoke to me. She came along too. Nixtamal Queen - What even is this magic. Crispy and carmelized sweet on the outside, super soft and chewy on the inside. Eaten fresh and still warm, this was hands down one of the best pastries I have ever had. Bolillo - Little bits of jalapeno and cheese folded into soft, chewy sourdough layers. It was nice and crunchy on the outside and heavenly on the inside. The toasted cheese and sesame seeds on the top were the perfect bit of texture. I had originally bought these with the intention of making a sandwich but I ended up eating the whole roll standalone. It was that good. If only there were better parking, but maybe that's for the best.

I finally had the chance to try this place only because it was a semifinalst for James Beard…read more The staff was really nice. Parking can be a little tough to find. The pastries don't have prices listed so I was pretty shocked when 3 pastries cost $19. I understand small businesses have to charge a premium to stay open. I ordered a Oreja, Dona and chocolate pan. It was just ok. The Dona had no distinct flavor to it. Just plain dough pastry with almonds on top. Was not worth the $9.50. I'm glad I tried this place but I probably won't be back.

I've been a longtime fan and customer of Colossus and was super bummed when they had to shut down…read moretheir seating. I was so excited to try out their new and improved space for dinner! The decor is cozy and chic, and I like that they kept it spacious instead of cramming a ton of tables and chairs in. I especially loved the little table lamps! Our server was very nice and helpful when we had questions. Caesar salad: I LOVED this. Perfect balance of flavors with perfect crunch. Word of warning is that it is anchovy heavy (including anchovy filets on top), so if you like to pretend the anchovy aspect of Caesar salads doesn't exist, this might not be for you! Roasted chicken: Loved the crunch on this too, and the salad and polenta were nice additions. I think the polenta was my favorite part of this dish lol. Kale pistou pizza (asked for no onions): My least favorite dish. We didn't realize it was vegan but as someone who generally likes vegan food, it just lacked flavor and felt very dry overall. The sourdough crust was good, at least. Peach mess dessert: Omg, the star of the show! Such an amazing dessert top to bottom, I loved the mix of textures and flavors. I could eat this every day! I probably would've given this 4 stars due to the pizza being that bland, but the dessert really elevated this whole meal. Can't wait to see all their different menus throughout the seasons! I hope they add a happy hour soon and I hope to see the return of their patio at some point!

Colossus has two locations in San Pedro and this location in Long Beach; however, this Long Beach…read morelocation has expanded its space to feature a complete breakfast dining experience. The menu features more breakfast items; however, I miss their Turkey and Brie sandwich that they used to offer here. Nevertheless, their BLT is as good as a BLT can be. With a BLT, to make it outstanding, you have to have outstanding ingredients, and they absolutely achieve that with their house made, butter-toasted country bread, heirloom tomato, butter lettuce, house-made thyme mayo, and a generous helping of bacon. The space is also very roomy and, now that they have table service, it offers a great breakfast experience. I do want to come back for their french omelette cooked over butter. Sounds like they also have pizza for dinner. Cost of lattes cost over $8, but their syrups are made in house. My wife liked her midsommar latte, which had espresso, milk, caramel syrup, and a foam topped with bee pollen. Pastries run from $5 to $8 and I prefer their savory offerings; however, their house-made breads are noteworthy here. Don't hesitate to pick up a sandwich or loaf here.

I have no idea why I have not reviewed this place yet, i am SO late. I work VERY close to this…read morelocation, so I have been going here for over 2 years now. All of the women that work there are freakin PHENOMENAL! I love them SO SO SO MUCH. I wish I could name them all individually, but just know I mean it when I say every. single. staff. member. is. awesome. I ALWAYS get their beef ball with creamy cilantro sauce. EVERY TIME!! I am obsessed with it. I honestly think it's better than Portos too. Of course their empanadas are good! They bake them now, BUT if you ask they can fry them (it would just take longer). I also really love their chicken square pie. Sometimes I get their "Savory Box" so I can get all 3 of my favorites! Definitely worth it. Their burger is good, a little expensive but I still buy it from time to time for the convenience. Everyone says the cuban sandwich is the BEST (i have yet to try it. I usually stick to what i get as you can see) They have a new Fall Menu right now, I am obsessed with the pork & apple sandwich. The meat could be more tender, but I keep ordering it because I still love it so much. I am going to be devastated when they take it off the menu. They have a whole lot of sweets! Unfortunately I have not tried any, I do not like sweets (weird .. i know) but my coworkers and partner have! The cookies are top tier, their new flan (consistency not like traditional flan) is good, guava cheesecake was amazing, etc. There is not MUCH seating, especially on their busy days but they always play really good music. Like r&b, every time I wait for my food I have a good time. If this place has been on your list, please support! I love you guys! (@ staff)

Open since 1956, I have known about this place for quite some time as a Long Beach landmark and…read morefinally got my chance to try it this past weekend. I will say it's one of the best Chicken Fried Steaks that I've ever had. Also one of the best Cinnamon Rolls I've had all year. Inside is quite large and has many different seating options from counter, to booth, to table, to outdoor. We chose to sit at the counter and the only issue we had was that no one came to take our order or bring us water for about 10+ minutes. After that, though, our server was very polite and everything came out fast after that. They don't have a dedicated parking lot, but it was easy for us to find free street parking close by. The menu is very large, and one thing that we noticed was how popular their bakery items were. Their pie and cake slices were flying off the shelves, in slice and whole form. We must've saw over two dozen cake orders happen in just a short time we were there. I started off the meal with the Cinnamon Roll, and it was giant and delicious. I really liked the glaze on it and enjoyed every bite. I wish they would not add raisins, that would be my only request, but still it was very nice. I followed that with a Country Fried Steak and honestly thought it was incredible. It was one of the best that I've had ever, and I think it was due to the quality of the meat and the breading. The steak was juicy and every part about it was just great. The hashbrowns were also extra crispy and the combo was just perfect. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and will say that it's the best Chicken Fried Steak in Los Angeles county.

Each order comes with soup or salad, and I always choose the salad with Thousand Island dressing. Their salad is really good and always fresh and both the dressing and croutons taste homemade. They also have the best chicken pot pie! It's creamy and hearty. The baked spaghetti is really good too and I like that they add zucchini. It also comes with cheese toast that's so delicious. They have the best red velvet cake I've ever had. It's so moist and sweet. Their German chocolate cake is not good though, and I didn't like it at all. The cake tasted chalky to me, and the coconut filling tasted off. I usually order to go because their dining area closes at 3 PM, but they continue taking to-go orders until 7 PM.
