    Mimosa bottle
    Jazz G.

    A New Era for Breakfast Bar (And not necessarily a better one) I've been a long-time fan of Breakfast Bar, but it's important for locals to know: this isn't the 'old' spot we remember. 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

    Waffle Breakfast
    Aundrea Z.

    Super quick seating in peak hour. Service was great no issues. The food was so goooddd. Everyone's plate looks amazing. I think this might have the best Waffle I've ever had. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area wanting breakfast.

    I visited this breakfast place when I was visiting Long Beach. It is a cute breakfast place that has some nice outdoor seating when the weather is nice. It is next to a road so you will hear cars driving past. The service was incredibly fast. It probably was maybe 10 minutes from sitting down to getting food.

    I was visiting Long Beach for the day and looking for a good breakfast place and definitely picked the right one! For starters the menu covers all area of breakfast and leaves you with the problem of deciding what to pick. However after trying a couple different plates, I'm sure you can't go wrong with any. Our favorites were the Breakie Sandwich, the Omelet Casserole and the waffle. Personally I haven't seen an Omelet Casserole offered anywhere else and was very curious. It's said to be a family recipe that is prepped 24 hours in advance and you can taste it! I highly recommend giving it a try! It's a pretty average sized place, but they have a decent amount of outdoor seating. It is street parking so be aware of that. It wasn't busy so our food was super quick! Overall the food was delicious and the service was great!

    EGGS N E WAY

    We actually planned for a different brunch but it was too busy, so we decided to visit here. It was prime brunch time and we were slightly in a rush. I called ahead in case and asked how long it may take for them to prepare (luckily within 10mins), and you know it was actually not that busy when we arrived. We were already annoyed with trying to find street parking around the area (we don't visit Long Beach often lol), but they have their own parking lot shared with Travelodge. Thank goodness. The parking lot is kinda small and it seems like most people parked there are here for the restaurant. We went to grab and go our order and just ate it in the parking lot haha. My brief look at the inside of the restaurant, there's a good amount of seating here, especially the patio. Inside was more like a diner style, a bit more tight-knit. We ordered the Eggs Noni (benedict style) and the Eggs N E WAY. Our food wasn't out very long, so we just just got them when they just finished the order. So I opened my eggs noni, but the biscuit on the bottom was so... soggy? It seemed like it got so soggy from the tomatoes, so that was kind of an unappetizing part. It's nice they separated everything else tho, the poached egg and the hollandaise sauce.. even though the benedict was already so soggy lol. I actually got tots as my option, but they gave me a potato pancake instead. Which honestly, the potato pancake was very nice, no regrets on trying. Everything else about this benedict was pretty mid. My bf had the eggs n e way, he said it was pretty standard. Nothing really too special, but also agreed the potato pancake was good haha. Otherwise, this was a decent backup option if you're looking for brunch. Brunch items were on the higher price for what it is though, but it was alright.

    Mom's Meatloaf

    Cute little vibe and a nice little patio. The staff was friendly and efficient. Seems like they get busy had a full bar. Had a full bar and looks like they get a good bar crowd. Food was pretty tasty. I got the meatloaf. It was pretty good more of a Spanish style than the traditional meatloaf as the chicken waffles. Chicken was fabulous cooked perfectly. And the waffle was great! Ranch was also delicious always a sucker for good ranch!

    Welcome to The Breakfast Bar. #southbay #lb

    The Breakfast Bar is a causal breakfast and lunch spot popular amongst local. They're located on The corner of Redondo ave. and E 4th street in Long Beach. I was greeted by a young female hostess and sat at the corner table by the window. Their menu has a breadth of food and drink items. Its interior decor was modern with an upbeat atmosphere. My adorable server, Trish, was assiduous and professional. For food, I ordered a Lemon Pancakes x scrambled eggs and avocado. And for drinks, I had coffee and oj. I liked my drink but not so much the food. However, my lemon pancakes were bloody dry and crumbled easily; eggs x avocado were good. Service was spot on. Staff were amazing. Prices were on the high end of its market value. Parking lot was unavailable but plenty of street parking. Overall, I think it a modest local breakfast spot.

    Meatloaf steak and eggs
    Curt T.

    The rosemary sourdough bread was delicious The meatloaf was flavored well and was really good. Love the salsa over it and the sunny side up eggs over it paired perfectly. Absolutely would get this again. The vegan bowl was great as well Definetly didn't skimp on the avocado like most places would. The service was great. Fast friendly and attentive. I'd come here again if in the area and want a good breakfast.

    Daily Fuel
    Dorothy D.

    Food: 5***** A. I didn't eat because I am not hungry and intermittent fasting until 11AM at least. My boo was starving from our evening and morning beach walk so wanted something healthy. He chose this mixed berry bowl with homemade granola, yogurt and honey - it was good! Service: 4****B. The staff were at the outside entrance to welcome you in. We walk straight to the bar. Server at the bar was lagging on warming up my coffee even on the first refill so I had to ask. Ambiance: ***** A. Clean diner style. Great tunes and a tv to watch movies and plenty of diverse seasonal menu options with fancy high-end interesting cocktails. Dietitian Dorothy's nutrition tip: order the Daily Fuel in the healthy choice section of the menu without the honey. You consume plenty of sugar "with nutrition" in the berries. Don't need the almost empty calorie sweetness, well the average United States citizen doesn't unless you're "trying" to gain weight.

    We arrived on a Sunday, and the wait was less than 20 minutes. Once we sat down, the service was quick, and we received our food very promptly! Both the drinks and the food were delicious, and their brunch options are truly fantastic!

    Lemon pancakes, bacon, eggs and mimosa
    Travis W.

    When in downtown Long Beach be sure to stop by The Breakfast Bar. You'll be happy you did. Warm ambiance and service with a smile. The folks take day drinking to another level. I ordered the lemon pancakes topped with a fresh fruit medley and a lemon drizzle along with a some scrambled eggs and bacon. Don't forget my tall glass of mimosa. Oh my ... everything was so good! Their menu truly has something for everyone. See you there!

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 clear the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into making their cocktails the centerpiece of the experience. That said, the execution didn't live up to the concept. The menu appears to rotate regularly, and while the drinks were certainly unique, most of the cocktails we tried were hit or miss. At roughly $22 per drink, I expected more balance and refinement. One cocktail started with flavors reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, but after the initial sip, the combination of bitters and fruit syrups created an unpleasant cough syrup like finish. We tried a mocktail as well, and it was mostly ice and soda water, with what seemed like a collection of syrups doing most of the heavy lifting. The drinks were creative, but many of the flavor profiles felt disjointed rather than intentional. The biggest issue, however, was the bar service and sanitation practices. I watched a bartender place a cucumber garnish into a glass using his bare hands, touching the entire garnish in the process. He then continued to take credit cards, cash, and other items before stuffing ice into additional drinks with his bare hands. Whether or not this technically violates health code standards, it certainly wasn't appetizing to watch and left a poor impression. Parking is another challenge. There is no dedicated parking, and unless you get lucky, expect to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, the atmosphere is a lot of fun and the cocktail menu is ambitious, but the drinks didn't justify the price point, and the sanitation concerns were hard to overlook. I wouldn't rush back, especially given the cost and parking difficulties.

I handed the valet a $5 tip before I even stepped out of my car, just so I could glide into the lobby feeling like a full‑blown princess making her grand entrance.

Alter Ego gets a double thumbs‑up from me and a strong recommendation for your next Silver Singles date.

Meaning, we were spending time together and just moving through the interaction, like clothes in a spin cycle. But going here made our time together mean something more because we had arrived at a space that elevated our mood and spirits. So we were now feeling the suds and splashes of the movement not just in the monotony of the spin. As we entered, I felt like the place was a Chinese Market but indoors. I have never bene to China (I have yet to die so maybe one day my feet will have the chance to step the Great Wall) but I feel like their street vendors would have stands like the seating motif within the main room of this joint. The place was not packed but there was no space within the wooden booths for Conrad and I. I asked for options, and they showed me two different rooms. The first room was the Hao Pen You room which was heavilty yet beautifully decorated with varying red lanterns in the ceiling. Additionally, there was a paper dragon hanging in the ceiling, swimming in the air amidst the lanterns. The host ushered me in, and milaseconds after I felt a quick sense of awe. Not like the one I felt one I saw the Sisteen Chappel, but one that compelled me to snap quick photos of the aerial view. The host understood. She stopped her explanation to give me the space to feel my wow that was delivered in a red envelope. I eventually decided to sit in this room, so there is more detail that I can deliver, but before I do, I did request to see the other room of the house. So we crossed the room with the wooden booths and stepped into an immersive Tiki Bar that gave shipwreck vibes. Like the survivors of shipwreck took what they could from the boat's carcass, and made a great bar in the beach that glowed with the light of jellyfish and had seaweed on the ceiling as decoration that was not stale like mistletoe on a doorway. When Conrad and I sat in the Hao Pen You room, we learned that it was a quasi speak easy. According to history, in the 1800's it was common for Chinese immigrants to visit gambling and opium dens behind laundry rooms to find a space that they could call their own and escape discrimination. I am sure that dens of the past did not have the blazing style of the room I was sitting in, but I did appreciate learning about the history that inspired the room. Only because the pain of the past was reshaped to honor a culture in theatrical and edgy red. Plus, as one of my pictures show, the dragon's face and laser lit eyes, made it seem like a real creature born to this earth, not one simply reserved for myth and Game of Throne episodes. I appreciated the immersive trip to Chinese's lore and history. The reason why I did not give this place 5 stars, was the food. The food in general was (maybe tragically) basic. Conrad did not confirm this fact until we were outside the restaurant. I asked him why did he not share his feelings with our server when she asked? He explained why would he, she did not cook the food, and she could not do anything? And I am from the camp, where honesty matters but I guess it might only matter to me? He might be right what does honest feedback do for a server? Conrad might have been practicing "restaurant politeness" like keep the situation civil because if one becomes a demanding patron or eater then one breaks the social contract and becomes rude. Specifically, Conrad and I had the Vegan Dumplings, the pork buns, and rice wrapped in leaves. And even though we had different bites, and each one had their own flavor profile at the end I can only describe each bite as basic. That is my opinion, and I stand by it, as I should, as every one should. Perhaps this restaurant owns this identity. This might be a place that offers theatrical atmosphere, great drinks, vibes that make a Tuesday special, but their food might be the area that remains standard, and in the final score card the servers of the joint might be ok with that.

    My husband and I are regulars here. They have a comfortable patio and chill vibes at the bar and…read moremain dining. It can be a romantic date spot or casual drinks and snacks. I'm always surprised when they're empty; the food is so good! Fresh, high quality and delicious. And the cocktails are some of the best in Long Beach. On top of that, they have a unique selection of tequilas and mezcals. Super underrated spot. Service is always pretty good to great! We usually get some excellent servers. Friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations. Definitely must try the ribeye taco, sopes and octopus if you want something smaller. The ribeye steak, whole fish or leg of lamb are also outstanding. Some items come with their homemade, blue corn tortillas. So yummy. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend! Parking can be a challenge, as is normal in the area. Don't let that discourage you!

The service was friendly and attentive, although it was a little slower than expected. We started with cocktails. I ordered the Pocho, made with Amaras Verde Mezcal, Bourbon, pina, guanábana, lime. The drink was enjoyable and unique, with tropical flavors that worked well together, although it was not quite as balanced as I expected. My fiancée ordered the Paloma Blanca, and it was excellent, awell-crafted cocktail. One of the highlights of the meal was the Tacos Dorados. With crema, and avocado emulsion was absolutely delicious. The flavors immediately reminded me of the potato tacos my mom used to make when I was growing up. The mushrooms added a rich depth of flavor. We also ordered the Arrachera, a 10-ounce Black Angus skirt steak served Anaheim pepper hand-pressed heirloom blue corn tortillas. The steak was flavorful and well seasoned, although it was slightly more underdone. Overall, the food was very good, and the atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. While the pricing felt a little high for some of the portions, the quality of the ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and memorable flavors made it a restaurant we would gladly return to. The Tacos Dorados alone are worth coming back for and also to try all other dishes like the pulpo.

    False Advertising and Total Failure of a "Speakeasy"…read more This place should not call itself a speakeasy. According to their website, they are strict about dress code, reservations, and no large parties. None of that was enforced. People arrived wearing sports clothes, tennis shoes, and flip-flops, and a group of more than 10 people was allowed in. That group was loud, drunk, and screaming, completely destroying any speakeasy ambiance. We had a reservation booked one week in advance for 2 tables of six, yet by 8:30 pm, we were told no food was available, despite the bar being almost empty. The water was already on the table when we arrived and tasted strongly of chlorine, with no ice. The waitress was clearly new, untrained, and unprepared. She did not know the menu, didn't know how to take an order properly, and provided no guidance whatsoever. There was one bartender Ricardo, who took over an hour to prepare cocktails and showed no sense of urgency or care. The dramatic cocktail descriptions sounded impressive, but the drinks did not match the descriptions at all. Because of the delays, we were never even able to properly toast or celebrate our friend. The charcuterie board took forever and arrived with an absurd amount of cheese and only six pieces of bread. To make things worse, part of the food we ordered never arrived at all. The live jazz band advertised and promised never showed up. When asked, the staff responded with: "I don't know, they were supposed to be here. I don't have their phone number." That level of disorganization is unacceptable. At the end of the night, we were shocked to receive a check close to $600 for two tables, despite each person only having one cocktail and shared food. The bartender, Ricardo, approached us and said: "Well, sorry, we really tried tonight! It wasn't the best, but we tried." Honestly, that comment made the experience even more frustrating. I can't imagine how bad it would have been if they hadn't "tried."That statement perfectly summarizes the problem -- trying is not enough when everything fails. I would not recommend this place for a speakeasy experience. This is not a speakeasy. It's a poorly run bar hiding behind a concept it does not deliver. Do not recommend.
