Great breakfasts!
Janine D.

This is becoming a favorite breakfast spot. We always have great service, meet other nice customers and enjoy a delicious meal! What more can one ask? This lovely little family owned cafe is definitely worth checking out!!

My Plate! Yes, pink sour cream

Went to have brunch yesterday for the first time and I did like the service and the food. I been wanting to go there. I noticed the setting from the outside with pink tables, chairs, umbrella. It caught my eye. I had the chilaquiles with steak! Delicious! I do recommend to go and have brunch.

I was in town from Miami visiting my sister and her wife. Needed a break from my second current wife and kids."don't get married" We found this place online and yes it's small but definitely worth it . We got there and were able to get fast seating and a table. Portions were greats the food was honestly better than expected.i can't do spicy and this wasn't overly spicy. The customer service was friendly and attentive. If I'm ever in town definitely would come back when I get divorced again. I recommend calling ahead. This place is instagram worthy.

Looks can be deceiving. I didn't even finish my plate. Take your chances if it's your first time but I know I won't be going back.

French Toast

It's a very small space inside and I've seen that they also places tables and chairs outside too, recently. Before that, it was a really long wait to get inside. But that's understandable. What I didn't like was that the wait wasn't really worth it. The chilaquiles tasted like a watered-down version, little flavor and no spice at all. The eggs and rice were mediocre. I think the only good thing my mom and I had was the french toast but even school cafeterias can make good french toast. At the end, I honestly wished I just went to a Mexican restaurant because I know they wouldnt have messed up the rice this bad. I think if they put as much effort into their food as they did with their interior decorating, then maybe this would have been a 3+ star experience.

The best chilaquiles ever!? Friendly staff, cute place, parking can just be a little bit unlucky depending on when you go.

The pink floral Bridgerton inspired decoration is so girly so pink so cozy. We made a reservation and was immediately seated and water/drink order was offered. The steak was very tender. The French toast, off menu, was fluffy. The interior fits about 12 people with sidewalk seating. So it's petite. Overall, nice experience.

Chilaquiles
Sarah L.

We visited Mother's Kitchen on a Sunday at 2 PM. It was a bit busy, but for a party of 2, we got seated within 10 minutes of getting there. We both ordered chilaquiles, I ordered the green and my boyfriend ordered the split of green and red. A couple minutes later, the chef comes out and lets us know that they ran out of the red, so my boyfriend just did all green instead. Once our plates came out, we noticed that our rice was missing. We had to ask the server if rice came with our meal and they said it did but they were out, so we can substitute it with potatoes or hashbrowns. We asked for potatoes. A minute later, the server came back saying they were out of potatoes, but they have fries and hashbrowns, so we got the fries instead. It was a lot to deal with, within a matter of like 10 minutes of sitting down at this restaurant, but I get that we were within 1 hour of closing. It was just a very strange experience to have. On to the food itself, the chilaquiles sauce could have used more spice and salt. It was also weird that the chilaquiles werent topped with any onion or cilantro. I think that would've given it more flavor. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best. We would give it maybe a 6.5/10 rating. The fries, however, were veryyy good! I would have rather just had that as my meal than the chilaquiles itself. Overall, our experience was a bit lacking. Maybe we have to come back right when they open so that they don't run out of stuff? Our server was very friendly though, so I don't fault him for anything. 3 stars for being seated quick, the cute decor, friendly service, pricing isn't too harsh, and delicious fries.

Visit their other shop!

I'm not going to lie, I'm more of an Orange County girl. But it's my new mission to find all the local Long Beach hidden gems. And I hit the jackpot with mother's kitchen. This place is locally owned and operated. The owners son, Habid was our waiter and took great care of us. It's also, woman owned. The owner, Ericka also has a gorgeous vintage / antique / shabby chic shop in Long Beach. And this reflects in her gorgeous restaurant decor. (Everything is so pink, including their tacos on taco Tuesday) It's street parking. when we walked in, Habid instantly greeted us and sat us down. We came around 2 pm. They do close at 3 pm. So it's a breakfast, brunch and lunch place. They only have 5 tables. Which fill up VERY fast. I wanted to try a couple different things. So we ordered the - Potato taquitos plate (comes with rice and beans) -Chicken burrito wet style -Chilaquiles (pick what sauce you want, how you want your eggs and what cheese) and comes with rice and beans. -And a side order of home fries with onions and bell peppers (huge portion for the price) We went for mostly lunch items. Although they have some incredible breakfast items (their French toast is very popular) After we ordered all that food, the owners son moved us to a larger table so we would have more room for everything. Which was really thoughtful of him. Seriously, the customer service he provided was amazing Everything came out in a very timely manner, it was the best rice I've ever had. Wasn't overcooked or undercooked, not too salty or spicy. It had the best texture and flavor. Same with the beans. So flavorful and not masked with tons of salt Everything was perfectly seasoned and tasted extremely fresh. The prices are great. Especially for the amount of food you get. The portions are very large. When we asked about the dessert options (they don't have a lot of choices. They have things like cookies and etc.) unfortunately they were out of everything since it was the end of the day As a yelper with a long list of places I want to try, it's hard to pick places I want to try again instead of trying new places. But I 100 percent will make this place a staple. (Can't wait to get my hands on their burger and pink tacos on taco Tuesday) -I'm in love with the decor. It's seriously so beautiful. It would be perfect for a girls day brunch -The food -The prices -The customer service -And love the fact it's family owned and operated. Come support one of Long Beaches hidden beautiful gems

If you're on the hunt for the perfect girls' brunch spot, look no further than Mother's Kitchen. Just a heads-up: if you're driving too fast, you might miss this cute little gem--but trust me, you'll want to slow down for it. Everything about this place screams "girly" in the best way possible. From the adorable décor to the pops of pink, it's the kind of spot that makes you want to snap a few pictures before your food arrives. There's even a few outdoor tables in pink, perfect for soaking up some sunshine with your mimosa. The food? Good and satisfying, but honestly, the vibe steals the show here. It's more about the aesthetic and experience--a place where you just feel happy to linger and laugh with your besties. And let's not forget our waitress--sweet, stylish, and so attentive, adding that extra sparkle to the whole brunch experience. If you love a place with personality Mother's Kitchen is calling your name.

This is the decor behind one of the tables.

I felt warm and welcoming vibes as soon as we walked in!!! Charming and very cute restaurant that makes food with lots of love! Ordered the chilaquiles with both red and green sauce, the french toast, horchata coffee on ice, and the Bid Burger! The chilaquiles plate was served with a generous amount of beans, rice, and chilaquiles with eggs over easy. Both of the red and green sauces were on point! I would absolutely order this meal again! The flavorful french toast was served with 4 pieces of toast and fresh fruit and a lightly sweetened cream. The delicious horchata and coffee iced drink was refreshing and served with whipped cream. The Bid Burger was served on a warm and soft Hawaiian bun and the fries were crispy and yummy! Bid was very friendly and helpful, excellent service! I highly recommend this spot, it's a new favorite of mine! There is plenty of street parking!

This is a quaint restaurant tucked away on Orange Avenue in Long Beach and could be easy to miss. Inside is beautifully decorated. Inside has 5 tables and indoors it seats 12 people. Not ideal for large parties but a great spot for a couple since four of the five tables seat 2. Pink and peach florals are draped throughout with candelabra chandeliers. I ordered a breakfast burrito to go. Opening the bag I was pleasantly surprised at the size. Unwrapping it I was a bit disappointed feeling how greasy it was. Not something I enjoyed. I really did like this place and was hoping for a new go to for breakfast. I ate a quarter of it and tapped out. Street parking only but you will not have to walk far.

Finally made it out and they are about to close. :(…read more It was very busy when we arrived and we had to wait about 20 minutes, but after being seated, everything was smooth. Trying several items on the menu provided us a nice sampling of what they have to offer. We enjoyed everything we ordered. My favorite was probably the Brussel sprouts as they were cooked to perfection and not sweet like most restaurants serve them. A close 2nd was the chicken parmesan served over zucchini noodles. The final item ordered was a mushroom pasta with shrimp. The shrimp were fantastic with a light char and perfect flavoring. The pasta was good. It was a bit to spicy for me with the chili oil so I only had a small portion. The inside is simple yet inviting with an open layout. They seemed a bit short staffed, but every one was hustling and honestly we were well taken care of. Sad I won't have another opportunity to try more of the menu, but grateful to squeeze in this visit before they close in about a week.

The restaurant was busy with constant traffic, however I didn't feel rushed. We ordered calamari, house bread and mozzarella balls. The calamari was crispy, Cajun and delicious we really enjoyed the fried lemon slices! The mozzarella balls we're good but the house bread was a stand out! It's warm, flaky,savory and the tomato chili fenell butter complemented very well. For entrees we ordered the grilled branzino, short rib Agnotolli and the truffle pesto lasagna. The Branzino was perfect and the chili crunch herb salad was amazing. The short rib agnotolli was very savory and I loved the robiola bosina. The lasagna was very good and cheesy.

After enduring weeks of record breaking heat in Long Beach, this was the perfect place to land as the Summer Breeze... Makes Me Feel Fineeee again. A very well but gently lit space that still feels cozy and spacious. The outside gives no indication of how well the inside has been designed. Great for lunch or dinner dates. Noise level was low and there's no feeling of a chaotic restaurant environment. Food/Service 1-5: 4.8 I order the shrimp and lobsters fettuccine, bone marrow as an appetizer. My company ordered the lamb burger. All dishes we beautifully plated; true works of art. Neither of us had any complaints about presentation and creativity. As far as taste and as excited as we were to dig in to our food, the ONLY setback was the lack of seasoning mainly salt. I'm aware that a Chef does their best to meet the expectations of their guest. I'm also aware that meeting everyone's expectations is impossible. To confirm my advice of needing some salt in the food I patrons the restaurant twice, two days in a row. The food needs more salt and I stand solid on that opinion. The service was great and I thanked Mel for taking such great care of us. Mel is a rockstar! Diversity score 1-5: 4 The restaurant definitely appeals to diverse crowds. It reminded of the days I frequented Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster in Harlem, NY. Go again score 1-5: 5, Absolutely. I do hope I don't have to keep bothering the server for salt and pepper.

We came all the way from Santa Clarita and we're not disappointed. Past all the namebrand places by the aquarium and came here and we're not disappointed. I had the work burger, which has fried portobello mushrooms. Others in our group had grilled cheese and poutine burger, and Italian burger and the hotdog and the breakfast burritos. No one was disappointed actually, we were surprisingly pleased with our selections. Sleeper items are the fried cheese curds by themselves. Make sure you get these. Also the onion rings are batter dipped. And beyond delicious! Only bummer is the drinks are cans, so if you need more than one drink, be prepared to pay for each can. The food was super delicious!!

It was really loud during our visit. I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

Whether you're going for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, The Attic is one of those places that just has something special about it. They've got an outdoor patio, an indoor-outdoor patio, and a completely indoor dining area. Every space has its own personality. It's one of the most unique, eclectic restaurants you'll find in Long Beach. And if you love cornbread, oh my God, you have to try theirs! It's warm, buttery, served with honey, and absolutely delicious. I'm telling you, it's worth going just for the cornbread. The breakfasts are great. The lunches are great. The food across the board is fantastic. The bartenders are great. The menu has plenty of variety, and the whole place just has this incredible vibe. Imagine trying to find the restaurant with the biggest personality on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. That's basically The Attic. There's a certain energy to this place that's hard to describe. It's the same way Palm Springs has its own energy, or Melrose Avenue has a certain feeling you can't quite replicate anywhere else. The Attic has that kind of magic. And the best part? The food actually lives up to the atmosphere. The menu doesn't disappoint, the service is great, and the entire experience feels like something you won't find anywhere else. To me, The Attic represents Long Beach in every possible way. Because that's what makes Long Beach special, right? We're not Orange County. We're not Los Angeles. We're Long Beach. We have our own personality, our own culture, and our own energy. We're a little eclectic, a little unexpected, and completely ourselves. And that's exactly the kind of experience you'll find at The Attic.

I've been here before but never knew that they had happy hour. Well, it's a good thing that I know…read moreabout it now. Last visit we've been was for brunch and it was good. Booth the food and drinks were nice. This visit, we stopped by in the afternoon just as happy hour was starting. There was a good amount of people already inside which could be that in between lunch rush and beginning of happy hour. Getting a table was a cinch as we were seating right away on the patio. It is pet friendly which is also nice. Layout of the restaurant is, majority of the seating is outdoor which is covered. There's the dining area inside the restaurant which is pretty small, another patio to the side of that as well as the private room to the side for more of an intimate experience. Mainly the front patio and bar area tends to be the busiest. Staff were all amazing and friendly which is a major plus. Nobody wants to come an establishment where service is snooty and rude. Everyone was a major doll and the sweetest. Our waiter, I didn't get his name was the sweetest. As it was HH, they only had that menu available. Limited but still decent for what was offered. A good selection in cocktails items and for the price, they were great. As for food, same with limited items but pricing was great. They're known for the Mac and cheese with hot Cheetos as pretty much loads of the tables had ordered it. We've had it prior but this time opted out on it. Started off with one of their sangria which comes either red or white and an old fashioned. Both on the HH menu and very reasonable for 7.00 a pop. Cant beat that. Sangria was quite refreshing with the fruit slices while the old fashioned, it was strong. Actually worth it for 7.00. Food, a mixture of things to share. An order of their fries with parsley and rosemary with an aioli sauce for dipping, 8.00. The braised cheddar brat with house mustard, caramelized onions, Calabrian chili with basil and shallot for 11.00. Quite tasty and flavorful with all the topping and served in a nice roll. The chicken sandwich which was quite big. Fried chicken with cheddar and American cheese, chef sauce, pickles on a benne seed bun for 11.00. And lastly the attic cheeseburger with new school American cheese, pickles, grilled onion aioli, caramelized onions on a benne seed bun cooked medium for 12.00. It was tasty but between that and the chicken sandwich, chicken takes the leads. Pricewise for the sandwiches was great. Everything is à la carte on the menu. They do have other main dishes but we just stuck to the sandwiches. Also a second round of drinks was had. The mango margaritas and the classic. Both tasty and for 7.00 a pop, can't beat that. The whole experience was great. Service was excellent and all the staff were amazing. Patio seating is great as it's perfect for people watching and enjoying the outdoor. Until next time.

A New Job, A New Milestone & A Chance to Rewrite the Narrative…read more My best friend and I have a tradition of celebrating new jobs with a nice dinner. Since this was her new job and a major milestone, I let her choose the restaurant. She had visited Bo-Beau last year but didn't get the full experience, so this was her chance to rewrite the narrative. And it was truly night and day. I researched the restaurant beforehand and was excited to see that Bo-Beau is part of the Cohn Restaurant Group, which I mostly associate with San Diego and South Orange County. After this experience, I really hope they're here to stay. I noted on our reservation that we were celebrating her new job, and for once, the restaurant actually read the note and acknowledged it. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was excellent. The hostess welcomed us downstairs, another staff member greeted us when we reached the rooftop, and our server quickly followed up. Then came the surprise: complimentary champagne for both of us. It was such a thoughtful gesture, especially because those little celebratory touches seem to be increasingly rare. Our server was also patient with our questions and attentive throughout the evening without being intrusive. We spent about 2.5 hours enjoying dinner and catching up over: Baked Brie Brussels Sprouts Steak Frites Everything was flavorful, and the entire experience felt relaxed, peaceful, and worth the price point. The food was great, but the hospitality is what earned the 5 stars for me. Real hospitality is paying attention to the guest, recognizing the occasion, and making people feel genuinely welcomed. My best friend got the celebration she wanted -- and a much better Bo-Beau experience this time around. Will definitely be returning!

I've been about 2-3 times now, and the food has consistently been really good. That being said, I would definitely recommend a little more customer service training for the servers. Everyone I've encountered has been very nice, but sometimes it's the simple things, like showing that you're happy to serve your paying customers and making sure they feel taken care of. Each time I've visited, we've found ourselves waiting close to 30 minutes for our server to come by for refills, a to-go box, or even the check. I completely understand that mistakes happen and that things can get busy. I've worked in the restaurant industry before, so I really do try my best to be understanding. However, during one of my recent visits, my order came out incorrectly. There was an item on my plate that I had specifically requested not to have. Of course, mistakes happen, and I had no issue communicating the mistake to my server. What bothered me was that instead of apologizing for the error, she looked at me and simply walked away with the plate. I assumed it was a minor mistake and that she would have the order corrected. I could have just removed the item myself, but at the same time, I shouldn't have to pick through my food after receiving an incorrect order when I'm paying for it. When she brought the plate back, she simply left it on the table without saying anything or acknowledging the mistake. I actually found myself apologizing to her for making her do the extra work, and she just walked away. Overall, I really do think Luna is a great restaurant with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. I'm sharing this feedback because I think with some improvement in customer service, communication, and wait times, Luna has the potential to be even better. I would definitely come back, and I hope this feedback is taken as constructive criticism rather than anything negative.

If you're looking for a spot with great atmosphere, a trendy vibe, and beautiful décor, this is definitely it. My favorite time to go is on the weekends for breakfast. I think they have some of the best breakfast options you'll find on 2nd Street. It's definitely a trendy, people-watching kind of place where you can enjoy the scene as much as the food. It's centrally located right in the heart of 2nd Street, directly across from Nick's. Between the stylish décor, lively atmosphere, and great location, it's just one of those places that has a really fun vibe.

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.
