Brunch at Sala, yes please! Been eyeing this spot for some time and finally found a day to leisurely enjoy some time here. Easy parking in the lot behind, great signage in front, an open layout, and walk up to order counter. The brunch menu had a nice variety, yet isn't extensive. We both ordered different breakfast burritos and different beverages and both gave everything 2 thumbs up. The place is chill and food/drinks very good. We let full and satisfied, planning to add this spot into rotation.

Lavender Latte

I've visited Sala more than a handful of times and have had a really good experience each time. I really like the Lavender Latte here. In fact, I don't ever remember ordering anything else here but the Lavender Latte...lol! https://yelp.to/BzsvWTeYCl Maybe a Lavender Steamer? I feel like that is something I would get too. There's a laid back vibe here. I've had meetings here with colleagues, I've checked out a pop-up food vender here with a DJ spinning, I even met a friend here to play a game on our Switches. The only thing I haven't done here yet is check out the wine selection. I appreciate that they sell vegan donuts by Caffeinated Kitchen. On my last visit, they had the Earl Grey flavor: https://yelp.to/f76T5KM4si Good neighborhood spot!

Coffee or wine whatever you are feeling you can get here. Such a cool spot wish I lived closer looks like they have some fun events.

Went here for a Friday Dj Groove event. 03.20.2026 We walked over to the front entrance to find out that admission entrance is $10 a person. I told the bouncer that it wasn't stated on the IG promo event page. The bouncer let us in for free. That was very nice of him to do. Big Kudos to Michael! Walked in and found the bar on the left side. The vibe was cool. A young crowd of 21 to 30 year olds. Ordered Wine and a Paloma Cocktail. My wine was ok, wasnt the greatest of house wines. The Paloma was just a small cup of squirt and tequila, nothing special. Each drink was $16 a piece! Way overpriced for some squirt with house tequila and house wine. Walked around, the vibe was modern. Hip hop tunes were playing in the area. All was dark. It was a cook little hangout. Scoping the area, it was a feeling of Modern Latin Arts with a twist. We stayed for 15 minutes. The vibe was cool. I disagree with the prices of the drink. This place is charging drinks like Vegas or a sporting event I would like to come back on normal business hours to eat and drink from their regular menu. This place has potential to be successful if they deal their prices correctly. I will comeback soon. Gave this place 3 stars of 5 because I did not experience the real ambiance on what this restaurant has to offer.

Disclaimer: only came here for the breakfast burritos so didn't try their drinks! There's plenty of street parking and a small lot in the back. the vibes of this place were cool, there's a bunch of wine with a DJ booth and plenty of seating to chill or eat. I heard the breakfast burritos were good so we tried both. - Bacon Burrito (3.5/5): it was ok but wish there was more bacon. Tasted a lot of potatoes and beans. Potatoes unfortunately weren't crispy, but tortilla was nice and charred. Eggs aren't scrambled so the yolk kind of oozed out while we ate it. salsa verde had an interesting minty/spice flavor to it? Not sure if I liked it but only 1 type of sauce. - chilaquiles burrito (4/5): more flavor on this one, but chilaquiles is soggy in the burrito. Lots of beans again and only had the same salsa verde. Overall place is really sick and people were nice but not sure if I'd come back for their burritos.

I found SALA while walking around Long Beach and it has easily become my favorite cafe in the city... mainly because of their lox bagel and calm ambience! Their lox bagel is really great quality. And the ambience is great for people who are anti-"big light", if you know what I mean. I've only gone about 3-4 times so far, but ordering has always been easy and customer service hasn't disappointed. I've gone during the day and parking hasn't been an issue. Bathrooms are clean too and that is always a plus :).

Midnight Iced Mocha and Matcha Latte...so delicious!
Stephanie S.

The Midnight Mocha (Iced) was DE-Lic-ious! That velvety foam on top was heavenly!!! Great space, nice staff, awesome hours...!

Prawns

For the dinner experience at Cuevita at SALA: My husband and I came here for dinner and ordered the Grape Salad, Kofta (amazing!), Camote, and Garlic Prawns. The Kofta and Camote dishes were absolutely delicious with lots of flavors and unique textures. The grape salad was fine, but the prawns were extremely fishy. They also did not devein the prawns (aka poop lines still in tact) which was disappointing. Our waiter didn't smile once and quite honestly looked like he'd rather be anywhere but there. Glasses of wine are served in Port Wine glasses. Extremely small pours for regular prices. I would like to come back to try their coffee but will not be back for their dinner service or wines.

Matcha
Tracy V.

Sala Coffee & Wine is such a great spot in Long Beach. The matcha is consistently good, and their breakfast items are definitely worth trying. It is a great atmosphere to get a bit of work done but as a heads up there is a WiFi sign that notes it is limited to 90 minutes or 2 hrs I believe, but I've never needed more time than that.

I can't believe it took me so long to check this place out! Amazing coffee & breakfast menu. I absolutely loved starting my Saturday morning here! 10/10 lavender latte

lavender latte and matcha tonic

My best friend found this beautiful cafe with ambient natural lighting. It was breakfast time. I walked into this beautiful modern, retro, cafe and said "Where am I? How come we've never been here before?" To the corner were a fine selection of wines, a nice bar area, a vintage speaker that played the best of soul, indie and jazz. Additionally there were lots of seating. The barista was very nice and welcoming when she found out it was our first time here. My best friend got a matcha tonic with chilaquiles and I got a lavender latte with a breakfast burrito. Chilaquiles - very flavorful with the perfect amount of spice. She also loved how they used real eggs compared to other establishments who are using just egg to combat the rise in egg prices. She noted that she'd happily pay the surcharge if it meant using real eggs. The chips were also crispy and cooked to perfection. Breakfast burrito - I added chorizo. It was big with potatoes, eggs, cheese, beans and of course the chorizo. Everything was well cooked and the salsas were fresh and delicious, it only elevated the flavor profile of the burrito. I highly recommend getting this Lavender latte - my only quip was that I wish the cups were bigger. But it was really good. Matcha tonic - The matcha was a dark green with a candied orange and I wish I got this because it looked good. By night this place turns into a nice wine bar with a Dj spinning records. A couple yelpers mentioned there also being a dinner service. I really want to check it out at night time and provide an updated review.

What a fantastic coffee shop and wine bar! I have been following SALA on Instagram for a long time, and I cannot believe it took me this long to get here.  We indulged on the menu since it was our first time here. Between the two of us, we got two Yuzu Cold Brews (which are alcoholic!!), Matcha Sunrise, Midnight, and Chorizo Breakfast Burrito. Yuzu Cold Brew - Great for a brunch drink at a coffee shop! The yuzu sake is bright and counteracts the acidity of the cold brew. The jalapeno is also very fragrant, but not necessarily spicy. I would describe it as giving the drink lift rather than a kick.  Matcha Sunrise - I don't think that they use fresh orange juice, but they do use a good matcha. This drink was enjoyable, but I would probably try their matcha in a different format to be able to tell you more about the quality. Midnight - This drink is thick, decadent, and delicious. It is chocolatey, but not overly so. The orange in it gives it a night brightness that cute through the richness of the drink and makes for an indulgent treat. Chorizo Breakfast Burrito - Solid!! I love when burritos, especially breakfast burritos, are evenly distributed. Every bite had a little bit of everything, which included flavorful chorizo, tender beans, potatoes, and eggs. SALA was a wonderful find, and I am so excited to go back to try more! They host events at night with a bigger food menu, vinyl DJs, and more community goodness. They also sell wine here, which is a great selection. One of their wine people talked to my boyfriend for  a while and he ended up buying a bottle of Dandelion wine. Definitely add this spot to coffee shops in Long Beach that you don't want to miss.

Amazing spot for food or a wine break with great friends. They offer breakfast and lunch regularly during the day and a sit down wine bar experience in the evening. Staff works rigorously while providing a personal connection ratber than just a sale or service. I highly recommend one of their tonics or their breakfast items. The SALA experience is one you have to come see for yourself to really understand the vision they provide. They offer plenty of events and pop ups that you cannot miss. You'd be surprised how crazy this cozy spot can get.

It's located in Bixby Knolls, surrounded by coffee shops, restaurants, bars and breweries, yet it's the only true wine bar right there. Honestly, Long Beach has more wine bars than most surrounding areas, and since the South Bay is packed with breweries, if you're tired of beer this is your sign to switch it up. You will not regret it. The food menu has cheese boards, salads and sandwiches, and everything I've had here has been delicious. The cheese boards are better than sex. There is seating indoors and outdoors. It's minimal, but somehow we always manage to find a table. The service is consistently great and the owner is wonderful. She will be leaving soon and she will absolutely be missed, but what she has built here will definitely be cherished. The new owners fell in love with the place, so you can expect it to be well taken care of and to remain just as charming. Parking is street only, so read the signs carefully so you don't end up with a ticket. If you go on a Sunday there are no restrictions or time limits, which makes it even better.

Nice seating booth inside and out. My only complaint: I ordered a salted yogurt drink, understanding it was made in-house. It ended up being a commercial variety, served in the bottle. But they promised that they would be making their own in the future. I should also note: Taboon is incredibly close to Fingerprints music (just around the corner).

Definitely worth it! The vibes are unmatched. It's a unique blend of "top notch cocktail crafting" and "beer and a hot pretzel after work." You can dress up, you can dress down, it's very 'just be yourself' which I love. I've literally had caviar AND hot dogs there in the same night at an event. They know how to blend high/low. Incredible knowledge and ingredients but not snooty patootie. Super inclusive and fun, with cool popups and events happening all the time. It's a full bar so you can get any cocktail you would normally order if you're keeping it simple, or beer, wine, boilermakers, etc. There's a span of offerings and price points, so something for everyone. (Also really good N/A cocktails!) The menu is super inventive and creative! And the cocktail menu changes out every so often so there are new things to try. This area is vintage vibes and Baby Gee speaks it fluently. Really cool decor, curated by the owners who design everything from the playlist to the cocktails to the invention of never-before-seen flavors and shapes of jello shots.

It's a small, charming spot with a relaxed atmosphere. Just a heads up- there's no indoor seating, so everything is outdoors with a small patio setup. That said, when the weather is nice, it's actually ideal. It feels very laid back and intimate, like one of those hidden neighborhood gems you stumble upon. The employee working when we went was super friendly and welcoming, which always makes a place feel even better. The wine I tried was really good, you can definitely tell it's natural wine (in a good way!). They also have small bites available if you want to snack while you drink, though we didn't end up ordering food. Parking is street parking in the area, which wasn't too difficult to find when we went. Overall it was just a really pleasant experience.

The fact that I've passed by this area so many times without noticing this little gem feels like a true tragedy. Though petite and easy to miss, this spot is something special. They specialize in natural wines, thoughtfully and selectively curated since they're not a winery themselves. The selection offers great variety, and because seating is limited, it's very much a first-come, first-served situation, arrive early if you want a seat. There's some indoor seating, with more available outside. The wine servers were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. They also host food vendors. There is a sushi spot right next door which is conveniently located next to the theater where you can score discounted bottles if you're catching a movie. Wines rotate as they sell out, so if you fall in love with one, do yourself a favor and grab a bottle before it's gone.

Pizza Margherita - 5/5. This is a perfect example of the care and craft that go into their food. The crust strikes a rare balance - it has that signature leopard-spotted char and slight floppiness you'd expect from a Neapolitan-style pizza, but also delivers the chewiness and airy structure of a great New York-style slice. It never tips too far into being overly crispy or dry. What really sets it apart, though, is the sauce. While many pizzerias treat sauce as an afterthought, Thunderbolt clearly does not. Their tomato sauce is rich, vibrant, and juicy, with a depth of flavor that avoids being overly acidic, salty, or tannic. It enhances the pizza beautifully without overshadowing the dough, which is exactly how it should be. Garlic Knots - 5/5. - Easily some of the best I've had anywhere in LA. These are essentially bread rolls with a super chewy interior and a thin, lightly crusty exterior, served alongside their excellent marinara sauce. They're incredibly satisfying and consistently a crowd favorite. I've brought visitors from Japan, Germany, and New York, and every single one of them couldn't stop talking about these knots. My only small critique is that I wish they had used fresh garlic instead of canned, which would have taken them to an even higher level. Still, even as they are, they're outstanding. Overall, Thunderbolt Pizza delivers thoughtful, high-quality food that stands out in a crowded pizza scene. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to--not just because it's good, but because it's consistently memorable.
