Very good local breakfast spot in San Pedro. We stopped by this morning and were seated right away, then ordered a Mexican coffee, a Mexican hot chocolate, a caramel latte, and teas. All were delicious!! For our food, I opted for steel cut oatmeal and the others got French toast, pancakes with fresh berries, and Huevos Rexeros. Food was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Service was good. There was plenty of free street parking. Bill was a little over $80 (after tax and credit card service fee). Happy to return.

Yummy Tuna Melt! Cheesy tuna goodness is great!
Mike J.

We were in the San Pedro area and it has been awhile since we had been to Rex's. Fond memories drew us back today for brunch take out. We reviewed the menu and ultimately chose a couple of car friendly options. We settled on the Breakfast Burrito and the Tuna Melt. The breakfast burrito was yummy and easy to handle. It was stuffed with generous amounts of bacon, hash browns, scrambled eggs, cheese, and accompanied by a side of refried beans. The salsa added a mild punch to every bite. So satisfying! The tuna melt was also tasty with a tangy tuna salad with melty cheddar cheese all nestled between two toasted slices of bread. This really hit the spot. We enjoyed our quick stop at Rex's Cafe and hope to stop by in the future when we can linger on site! Great choice though for a meal on the run today. Yay!

Amazing place for breakfast! Recommended from the hotel front desk at doubletree it was a short walk to Rex's cafe. The staff was amazing - super accommodating with our baby - friendly and fast service. The food was really good. I highly recommend getting the breakfast burrito!

Hazelnut latte
Natalie N.

One of my favorite breakfast spots. I love the team here especially Lupe she is so nice! I always try to arrive early when no one is around yet and enjoy a coffee/latte. So quiet and peaceful, My favorite coffee in all of San Pedro. Occasionally i come here with bae, and enjoy breakfast. Service is fast and friendly and the shop is set up so cute and cozy. It is a tiny place and can be packed during the weekend or as it becomes later in the morning. Definitely a place worth visiting in this town.

Green chilaquiles
Gilbert A.

Found this little joint on yelp while looking for coffee. Saw some food pics and decided to check it out. I had the green chilaquiles with a side of bacon. Mound of fried chip with eggs, smothered with green tomatillo sauce. Came with sides of beans and potatoes. Delicious and good size portion. Highly recommend. Service was great? The ambiance was cool and soothing. Decoration is southwestish vibe.

Breakfast burrito
Kevin T.

(3.5/5) TL;DR: Cute house-turn-cafe serving decent, classic American and Mexican homecooked meals Came on a Saturday morning and, to our surprise, were seated immediately Our coffee orders came quick - definitely try the Mexican coffee! The server took our orders (4-top): - Breakfast burrito (4/5): Solid burrito; side of beans and cheese were tasty too - Breakfast special - Strawberry french toast (5/5): definitely the best plate of the table - 2 eggs and single strawberry pancake (2/5): the two eggs were decent but the strawberries were the highlight of the plate - the pancake itself was thick, heavy, gummy, and just not good. I think we took a collective 2 bites and gave up ... not to mention, the pancake came out about 15 minutes after the rest of the food - Chilaquiles w green sauce (3/5): the green sauce was good but wish we knew that the eggs were scrambled and not sunny/over easy so we could've either asked different eggs or swerved altogether While the overall meal was good, there were some issues with service, specifically some missed sides, late pancake, and delivering wrong orders. In the end, it was all sorted out so no harm no foul - just a little rough around the edges Cheers, Rex's!

The chilaquiles are delicious. They get busy in the mornings so we called in our order 35 mins in advance.

Their location is perfect for a lazy outdoor brunch. Try the breakfast sandwich. They also do pizza at night. But you need to order early (between 5-6PM) because they tend to run out.

I came here to have lunch and work for a few hours...the only negative is that they don't have…read moreoutlets (they're in the ceiling) honestly probably on purpose so it's not filled with people like me lol (understandable)... vibe is what you expect from a modern coffee shop downstairs from a "luxury complex" kind of more of "valley'ish" as opposed to homey/ San Pedro (can't blame the business for that), me personally I like more "chill" less "bougie"... service started off a little weird, I asked what type of matchas they had and he said "matcha" so I had to ask what kind of syrups they had and than had to answer my own question from that answer... anyways but after that I started ordering food and bro got a lot chiller...I got a mushroom dip I believe and added chicken to it !...I don't know the price I should've paid attention but honestly if I like the food I don't care for the price...anyways I sat down and the same guy who was a little, let's call it "bland" in the beginning came out with a complete different attitude! He was happy and excited ! Which made me happy and excited !!!! (Customer service is the key) ... he served me a HUGE delicious sandwich !!!! Guys the bread alone was worth it !!!! Whatever the price was IT WAS WORTH IT... I must point out that for such a great sandwich I'm pretty sure the Au Jus was just regular ol chicken broth (let's work on that) lol Anyways I enjoyed the sandwich, did some work before I needed a pick me up ! So this time instead of relying on the cashier since he didn't help with the matcha, I researched and went for the MIDSOMMAR LATE !!!! YOOOOOOOOO! I love when I take a first sip or bite of something and it's literally unbelievable !!!! This drink has to be top 3 for me ! And I literally travel for a good drink lol!!!! Overall I loved it! It started off rocky with a lack of customer service Which I'm a strong believer that customer service and my taste buds are connected hahaha so maybe work on that in the beginning. And if you're not into pushing matcha than just take it off the menu. I can't be a hater and not give credit to the food and drinks !!! Overall I like it, if you're a local this shop is definitely NOT local friendly vibes, more like "transplant local" vibe 8/10...could've been higher I might've just came at a wrong time. I want to make it very clear ! That even though bro started off a bit "bland" his energy picked up as time went by, deff not bashing him just being honest.

My son and I tried Chori-Man yesterday for lunch and were pleasantly surprised to find this cute…read morelittle bakery/coffee shop tucked in next door. I consider myself a bit of a "Sourdough Snob" and I had heard about Colossus a while back but didn't know that there was one (or are there 2?) in San Pedro. I went on a sourdough quest in San Francisco a few months back and I think I found the absolute best sourdough in that city. And Colossus's version, the Country Levain, is right up there! Great crust and chew and flavor is awesome. We got a medium Country Levain and a medium Levain with Cumin and Olives....that cumin and olives....wow, so freaking good and unique. Loaves were about $10-$14 and service was great and super friendly. We didn't try anything else but the sweet treats and coffees looked good. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A branch of Long Beach's most beautiful bakery sits right next to Choriman…read more The display case is so small, be sure to snatch up multiple offerings before they're gone. The Country Loaf is their basic bread, very moist, great for anything, even eating it plain. Here lies the first Pecan Sticky Bun that I can call exceptional since Joanne Chang's from Flour in Boston. Then there's a Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Cookie and a classic chocolate chip, both amazing. Good bread, great bakes - you can tell they're made by a pastry chef because they're so polished and refined. Great bakes, please try!

Harbor City

Okay this might be one of my top coffee spots in the South Bay…read more Parking is a little tricky since it's in a busy plaza, but honestly worth the short walk, it feels like a little corner oasis once you get there. Let's start with the coffee I kept it basic and "healthy" with a sugar-free vanilla latte with oat milk, and WOW... you can truly taste the quality. So smooth, so good. Now the vibe, this place is everything. From the moment you walk up and see the big coffee sign, you already know it's going to be cute. The garden/nature aesthetic is such a moment, and inside it's artsy, calm, and super inviting. They also carry merch from a local artist and I ended up getting the cutest beaded bracelet keychain (couldn't resist). Service was amazing, such a sweet girl took my order, and the guy working was super friendly, chatty, and gave great info about the coffee (and yes, I was influenced to follow them on IG). Definitely recommend, will 100% be back.

I was recently invited to a small after hours comedy night at this coffee shop in Torrance!…read more It's a little hidden, in a busy shopping center with plenty of parking. There's indoor and outdoor seating. They have a bohemian vibe that I thought was a great touch! I've never been to Aventurero Coffee before and didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised the coffee shop was open for the comedy night. The full menu seemed to be available. They had coffees, lattes, teas and other pre made drinks for grabs. They had a few baked pastries that were perfect for the show. Looking forward to the next visit!
