The place is cute and clean, the food was good even though it was pricey with no side with any of their sandwiches. The drinks tasted okay with a better presentation than taste. The staff was very friendly and polite and they answered all of my questions. My recommendation would be to add a side to their meals or lower their prices to stay in business.

Super cute.

Super cozy, earthy cafe in Long Beach has a warm welcoming vibe. It's a vibey spot to grab a quick coffee and enjoy a peaceful walk down Broadway towards the beach. (Love this part of Long Beach) While I was out running errands, I decided to stop by and treat myself. I had a honey vanilla cinnamon latte--absolutely delightful--and a breakfast Sando to go. :) I truly enjoyed my visit and would happily return again. It's a place that feels warm and inviting. Service was fast & wonderful.

Stopped off here as it was nearby my hotel and grabbed a cup of coffee and a croissant sandwich. Called a sando. Food is pretty good the service was pretty quick and the atmosphere is pretty airy.

Honey Vanilla Latte (medium), perfectly prepared Lox Bagel

What a lovely spot. Clean and inviting with a homey vibe. Monica whipped up an awesome Honey Cinnamon Latte with a Lox bagel for me and everything about it is simply spot on, not to mention she was very kind and warm. Quite happy to have stumbled in here and forwent the morning necessitated coffee (non descriptive coffee and run) grind and took a min to enjoy a more relaxed start. An enjoyable beginning to the day.

Lox Bagel with Cream Cheese & White Mocha

Stopped by Steadfast Coffee and loved it. The white mocha was perfectly balanced--not too sweet--and the lox bagel was fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and efficient, which always makes the experience better. Definitely a solid spot for great coffee and bites. Will be back!

Stopped by Steadfast Café with my 2-year-old and really liked it here. I got the banana toast, strawberry banana smoothie, next level breakfast sando, and a hot chocolate. Everything was solid. The food was fresh, the smoothie was perfect, and the hot chocolate was really good too. The place is clean, has a nice vibe, and the staff were super friendly. It's also a comfortable spot to sit and relax with a kiddo. Update: Ordered delivery this time for me and my spouse, and it was just as good as dining in. We got the breakfast sando, lavender latte, and sweet toast -- everything arrived fresh, warm, and really well-packed. The presentation was impressive for delivery, nothing messy or soggy, just clean and perfectly put together. My spouse was super happy with it too, especially the lavender latte and the sweet toast. You can tell they take care with their packaging and quality even for takeout orders.

Next Level Breakfast Sando
Heather H.

Super good coffee, food, and employees! I got the next level breakfast sandwich on multigrain bread and it was so delicious! For coffee just a black drip which was good too! They turn their music up to set the vibe and it's a great place! Will be back again when in town :)

Lovely paintings the owner's daughter made.

Friendly and down-to-earth neighborhood cafe. Lovely ambiance and good variety of food/drinks to choose from. Stopped by to check out the place before my haircut across the street at Dapper & Dames. I have been to this location when it was a boba tea place, which was nice too. Feel like this place will actually stick longer than any of the other establishments that have been in this location. I ordered their pomegranate tea and an everything bagel. Sat outside to eat/drink. Grabbed an Acai bowl to bring to Zoe and Karla so they can eat in between haircuts. Will be back with my computer to work and hang out (and have food and drinks too, of course)!

Matcha special @yassiG

Matcha was delicious ! It was one of their specials. I ordered the avocado toast w scrambled eggs as well as an almond croissant. So good! Everything tasted great. Service was wonderful; kind, quick, and calm. Interior had some seating, cute decor and relaxed vibe.

I came with a friend around lunch time to get a quick coffee. The service was okay, we we're welcomed when we came in. The vibe was nice and inviting. We were able to get the bogo deal and I got the iced next level espresso sugar free latte. My friend ordered the rose cardamom coffee. My coffee was really good, strong and not too sweet. My friends coffee was made iced but she ordered a hot coffee. This is not appreciated. Overall, I feel the drinks are good but expensive. The regular price with tax is $6 for a small coffee.

Great first experience at this new shop in DTLB around Broadway and Linden. The place is very clean and bright, and the staff is super friendly! Just coffee and bagels this trip, but plenty more reasons to return soon.

Food and drinks were really good we got the breakfast sandal and a strawberry Matcha and a ham and cheese quiche. The vibes were really good. Everyone is calm and studying and there's good music. The servers are very nice. Would come back!

My girlfriend and I were looking for a caffeine boost to get us through Sunday when we stumbled…read moreupon Recreational Coffee in Downtown Long Beach. A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers. Check them out!

Maybe I should have ordered something else not sure.

Very rich and flavorful. I kept looking at photos of their take on chicken and waffles and knew I had to try it. Seriously epic and was good as it looked. They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it. My wife had their brunch version of a Corpse Reviver cocktail. After our meals were done we finished with an Irish coffee since everyone was ordering them. Perfect service, relaxing atmosphere, and delicious food will definitely have me returning very soon! Parking is free for 2 hours at the nearby garage on 3rd and is a very short walk. The closer garage on Broadway is not free. You can make restaurant reservations on their website but it wasn't needed when we went.

The vibe has shifted toward a more minimalist coffee cafe aesthetic, and the menu has seen a significant overhaul. The Food & Value: I was disappointed to see the old favorites go. The Chicken & Waffles, previously a staple with three wings, has switched to dark meat only (thighs) with zero substitutions. As someone who isn't a fan of dark meat, that was a major letdown. I opted for the Lemon Pancakes ($21), and while the presentation was stunning, the taste was underwhelming and the portion size was surprisingly small--my son's kids' meal actually had more food than mine. The Silver Lining: The service is still the highlight here. Our server, Jorge, was absolutely fantastic--attentive, kind, and professional. The entire staff was very nice, but unfortunately, the price point doesn't quite match the current portion sizes or flavor profile. It's sad to say, but this will likely be our last visit but best wishes to them

I rarely order pizza at a place like this, but sitting inside, with the pizza oven in view, I just went with it. Overall, fabulous! I had pear (instead of figs) and prosciutto.

With that being said, the question becomes why write a review for a place that not only has street clout but also is a darling for foodies? First, any place or person cannot rely on their august reputation to coast to their golden years, especially in a glut like LA's dining scene. An eatery must always maintain itself with current times and update its eats and design/vibe to remain competitive lest their sheen and luster fade. And thus, I add to the rose petals thrown at this place's feet but also challenge their aesthetic because I found it a bit disjointed--- like a ruby red rose whose stem is made out bark and twig. I had only heard good things about this place and decided to try it with my friend Alexa. She and I had agreed to meet there at 11:00 but I know enough about brunch experiences at celebrated places to go there early or else we might endure a wait that kills a good time. Yes, I would wait for the both us to avoid this possible pitfall. I waited 45 minutes in the line to order. By the time I got close to the register, Alexa arrived. We decided to split the chicken and waffles and also the skillet. She wanted to find a table, but I explained to her that there was a sign I saw as I waited that explained that patrons should not to find their own tables, staff will help them find one. We also got the smashed potatoes and each of us got a coffee. When I was there, waiting, I enjoyed seeing the emblems in red. For instance, I clipped the red door that I passed to get into the joint. It was the threshold that moved me from a line waiter to near customer. And thus this shade of red becomes that much more precious. The rose red was more pronounced and literal in some of the exterior walls of the joint. I clipped a rose silhouette that was precious, and kind of defining of the motif of the place. But it also had mentions of the movie of its a wonderful life. For example, before I got to the cashier I saw the phrase, "every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings." In back of me there were several photos from the film. Now, I have never seen the flick so perhaps roses are predominant in the movie. One of the staff members said that Zuzu was the dog in the film. To make it abundantly clear, I am not sure how red roses connect to a Yuletide favorite. Perhaps the answer lies in the film. But for me on this day, the two primary anchors of design were in competition and not not in cohesion. Perhaps, if the red roses were winter blue the connecting tissue would be easier to understand. The food was strong and easy to enjoy. What surprised me is that I expected to enjoy the waffle and chicken plate more than than skillet but I enjoyed the latter more. The skillet had those fluffy eggs that are made with milk or cream or bliss from a bovine. Now true, there is not much complexity in the dish, but the dish was something basic done extremely well, which is a prize to the patrons. I guess atop of all I could write would be that the skillet had familiar flavors- like cheese, and sausage, and garnish- but elevated to delicious comfort. The waffle and chicken plate was made scrumptious by the maple butter. By the time I got to the chicken and waffle the chicken had lost its fried crisp. The flavor of the batter was there 1000% but without the fried taste the chicken suffered. It was my fault. I did not wait for my food, my food waited for me and in that span of time it had lost its umph! like many do when they wait too long for someone they anticipate. The mashed potatoes were also an excellent bite. Again, familiar, not innovative, but a strong showing of a classic. I particularly loved the well balanced execution of fluff inside and the crisp of the potatoe outside. The smash in this plate was a solid yum. Alexa and I sat outside, right next to the patio, and enjoyed all of the dishes to a good extent. This place definetely offers great classics, with some modern touches. It is an easy answer to where should we go to brunch on a lazy Sunday when you have time to spare.

Bristy, our server, thoroughly explained the details of certain dishes such as the Mac & Cheetos. She also checked in on our table throughout the meal and came around often to refill our water. As for the food itself, it was very delicious. My favorite dish was the artichokes. They had a somewhat smoky flavor and the outermost leaves were crunchy and a nice contrast to the soft inside of the artichokes. They were also served in a tangy sauce that complimented the vegetable well. My friend's favorite item was the macaroni and cheese. It was chewy and creamy, and the pasta, which Bristy informed us was made in-house, was what my friend thought elevated the dish because it was a nice texture. We additionally ordered the gumbo which was also tasty but not as yummy as the other two dishes that we ordered. It is not a spicy dish if one is concerned about spice level. As for the ambiance of the restaurant, we enjoyed how the atmosphere felt casual and almost like you were sitting in somebody's house (the wallpaper and interior design is pretty) while still maintaining an elegant aesthetic design.

There is inside seating what looks like a converted house? There is outside seating at tables or at the bar. The menu was interesting which had a theme of shrimp; there was eggs Benedict with shrimp, but not an item to order a regular one without it? Sure maybe could have ordered and asked without shrimp but pay the same price? Pass. Ok when I called they mentioned they serve brunch until 3? 3:30 I can't remember. The server mentioned they serve the brunch all day? Either way when I got to ordering this month on the menu it highlighted the shrimp po boy. I tried to order and nope, out. How can you be out of the item highlighted as the special in the middle of the day? When the place is not packed? I tried to order the lobster roll and again, out. I was tempted to order their short rib poutine since in theory it sounded good, but at this point I tried something simple I would hope they have in the kitchen chicken and waffles. The plate came and it looks good. If you look at the picture at the bottom of the chicken you can see a dark something. As I lift my chicken I found a huge burnt piece of breading pictured next. On top of the chicken is green onion I think? Who eats that with chicken and waffles? If I am wrong, a garnish is totally unnecessary for this dish. The chicken was moist. There are spices in the flour breading I can see but hard to taste what it is. The waffle is a hard pass for me. The waffle was crispy which is good, but also thin and dry and I couldn't taste any sweetness until I put maple syrup on it. The syrup came out warm which was nice. It's clear watching the people at the bar this is a local hangout. The chicken and waffles were $19 which if I was in the bay I think it's about right, but I think a little high considering the level of food I got. Supposedly this place is packed specifically on Sundays. The server doesn't know why? I'm not interested to even try to come back for a second chance and just be told sold out of the menu.
