Hippie food spot ... and I LOVE IT. They sell whole coconuts... it's fantastic. The smoothies and juices are always so fresh and delicious. Plus everyone who works there is super nice. My only problem is I wish I lived on the west end so I can walk here. read more

I've been to this place twice so far and both times it was delicious! The options are fresh, healthy and satisfying. I love getting the Captain's Wrap as a bowl with salmon or mahi. I do suggest getting a side, as for me personally, the bowl isn't filling enough. Love the beach feel and the outdoor seating. Friendly & helpful staff as well! Just ask if you need clarification of gluten free options. read more

While visiting my cousin in Long Beach, we stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. I only wish we had found it earlier on my visit. The food, the service, and the ambience were all amazing. I love big, juicy burgers, but for many years I have been rather skittish about what and how livestock is fed, so I've pretty much given up on them. Various veggie burgers were poor substitutes. Then I noticed Cafe's homemade black bean burger piled high with all sorts of toppings. It looked incredible as did their homemade Parmesan fries. I decided to take a chance. Wow!!! This was no poor substitute; it was one of the tastiest burgers I have ever eaten and the fries were outstanding in every way! My cousin felt the same about her crab cake sandwich. We are both "older" foodies who wish we could have given John and his staff much more than five stars. They truly deserve it - especially at a time when so many other restaurants are increasing their prices while reducing both quantity and quality in all areas. What a thoroughly delightful experience to end my visit!! I look forward to returning on my next one. read more

What happened to this place? We had been coming here for years. Unfortunately this place is under new management and should officially be closed. The server was nice, but the food was absolutely inedible. I ordered the avocado toast and received brown avocado and a fried burnt egg. I ordered the sweet potato hash brown potatoes which were served raw. Very sad to see such a nice establishment go down hill. They should be featured on Kitchen Nightmares. Stay far away from this place. read more

They have very clean and healthy food, great juices and coffee. They adjust the menu seasonally and they have amazing breakfast. If you want to eat clean and healthy this is the spot to go. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Love the fact that it's very airy with plenty of light. Down side is that some of the items can be a bit bland, but I take that any day instead of heavy and greasy and salty. Love this guys. read more

One word: exceptional. Healthy food doesn't get any fresher or yummier than this. And the beach on a sunny day is a minute a way. read more

One of the best places in Long Beach. Very high food quality, staff are friendly and helpful, and a nice environment. Food quality in Long Beach has improved in recent years, but 85% of places in LB are some version of a bar at the beach, a winning formula in the summer weekends. But Island Thyme is among a handful of high quality places to enjoy good --and healthy-- food and drink. Highly recommended. read more

Much too expensive... food very well prepared Pleasant staff. Outside seating. They don't rush you... but very pricey. read more

We came for lunch on a Sunday and my husband ordered the Mediterranean turkey burger and I ordered the Buddha wrap. Both were really tasty. They brought the food to us outside and they had Kombucha on tap Which was real delicious. I love the wooden table inside and service was excellent. We'll be back! read more

The kind of place where you catch yourself day dreaming of the their food mid meeting on a work day. Buffalo chicken meatballs are delicious, I could probably eat them every day. Açaí bowls are great as well. On a quest to try everything on the menu without going broke, not because it's expensive but because i could probably eat every meal of the day here and not think twice about it mmf. Oh and outdoor seating is dog friendly, major bonus. read more

Everything was delicious, fresh, healthy and quick and this was on their very first day being open. I got the avocado toast with poached eggs (I can't resist) and my dining partner-in-crime got a bowl with egg whites, quinoa, grilled chicken and kale with a side of their homemade ketchup. Every person that worked there was friendly and engaging and their coffee was fresh and delicious. .....and we live down the block so we are really glad island thyme is here! read more

Overall, it was definitely a satisfying meal. Both my brother and I ordered the grilled salmon dinner with a choice of two sides. While the food was seasoned well and had good flavor, I felt that the fish didn't taste as fresh as I would have liked it to. This could have been attributed to the fact that we ordered 30 minutes before closing. Still, though, fish should always taste as fresh as can be. Will maybe go back. read more

Terrible service. Our whole order was wrong and took over an hour to receive our correct order. We never got the vitality shots that we ordered when we first sat down. Cute layout inside, but unfortunately they couldn't handle the amount of people at the restaurant. read more

The vibe was chill, Service was great ! , the food was so fresh and had the perfect portions . I will come again read more

New restaurant in the West End on the corner of New York. Order at the counter, get a number and they bring the food to your table. The restaurant has a natural feel, young new staff trying their best. I had the In house black bean burger. Served with avocado, greens, pico and fingerling potatoes which were so creamy, salted just right! The burger could have more of a crisp outside was served room temperature very flavorful. My husband had a vegetable medley bowl, burnt broccoli, brown rice and slaw. Rice was bland, slaw was crisp, cold, delicious. My son had the buffalo chicken meatballs, very salty, sauce was plentiful as well as the blue cheese dressing made with yogurt. Green smoothie and a beet juice were healthy and refreshing. I had iced coffee, not a fan. All in all an excellent option that's healthy and delicious in the West End. read more

Hidden gem tucked away just at the edge of the West End. Great food, creative menu, super friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

The food was ok, not great. Full menu was not available. Waiter did not know what was available. We ordered 3 different things only to have him come back each time and apologize that they didnt have that item today. We had buffalo chicken meatballs which were simply chicken meatballs with hot sauce dumped all over them. Bean burger was tasty but a bit dry, the grilled potatoes came out ice cold. We were the only 2 in the restaurant at lunch time for the first 30 min so whats the excuse? Good, may be organic but NOT rushing back anytime soon. Also know breakfast is NOT served all day. read more

Food is good but overshadowed by the front of the house which needs a bit of streamlining. Went here twice in one weekend (visiting) and first time they screwed up our order from "eating in" to "to go" ... when dining in food usually comes out on wooden slabs, instead it came in to-go cartons. We told them it was to eat in, and she just came back with the lids off and set it down. Ok fine, it happens. Food was good so we decided to come back the next day. They messed up our friends order, tried to refund for half the price paid, couldn't tell us eta on the order, messed up another tables order, tables had food way before ours, they run out of coffee,etc. We went across the street for a breakfast sandwich instead. It's not the staffs fault, she tried to accommodate as much as possible but their system is flawed. The menu is more than I think their staff/kitchen can handle. It has potential but it was a bit all over the place. Again, food is good. Good flavor but I hope you get in there when they aren't swamped or flustered. Go Update Review: After speaking to manager, they are improving their system and setup. Don't hesitate to eat here, the food is good!!! read more

just had a wonderful brunch. Food was delicious! drinks were super generous and the service superb. highly recommend!!!

It took 45 minutes for us to get our food and we were the only ones there. To start they gave still slightly cold microwaved croissants. Seemed like they left the bus boy alone to open and take orders. He did the best he could but it was clearly not his job. The owner finally showed up pushed paying through cash or Venmo which made us uncomfortable. read more

They are a new establishment in the West end of LB and I'm a bit impressed with their attitude, fresh food and effort to keep our beach community clean by using only compostable, eco friendly everything. Food was fabulous. It took a while to come out but it was a Saturday morning during Memorial Day weekend. I rather my food come out cooked right with time than rushed out a mess. Steak and potato hash was delicious. Avocado toast with poached sperfect. My little one had the bowl of yogurt with fresh fruit and granola and was licking her spoon clean. Toddler approved means everything lol. I appreciate this restaurant's customer friendly attitude. If you have a concern or recommendation, they have been completely accommodating and attentive to input. They also provide gluten free toast and wraps and this makes me SO HAPPY. Updating to say the winter 2018-2019 is phenomenal!! The dosas are GF and delicious. read more

Terrible! The red haired lady made us wait while she haphazardly cleaned up four tables. We just sat down. We were sitting outside. She was on the phone complaining about her bad morning. We asked her for menus. I thought she went to get them but she forgot them and had to go back inside for them. The busboy was cleaning a table behind ours. He proceeded to dump an iced coffee on the ground right behind our table where my husband sat. My husband called him out on it. He argued with my husband. After that we left. We could hear the red haired lady continue to curse on the phone as we exited. There were other customers in the restaurant! So unprofessional. The place is overpriced and the food is just ok. We were willing to overlook that until this incident. We won't be back. read more

Beautiful peaceful atmosphere friendly staff and delicious food I love the art on the walls . Def stands out . Will be back.

Excellent food and great service. An ocean-friendly restaurant which is a close walk from the west end of the Long Beach boardwalk. Will be back soon. read more

I appreciate the menu options and what this establishment is TRYING to do, but the service is terrible! The place seemed to be understaffed this weekend with the waitresses not only waiting on tables, but also responsible for meal prepping. The multitasking led to us waiting and waiting for everything from putting in our order, to getting the check. I put this down to poor management. Waitresses were overwhelmed and clearly miserable. Also, food ended up tasting mediocre. So much potential, hoping this place gets its act together, since it's one of the only healthy options in Long Beach. read more

The food is great! Never had a bad meal yet. I took off one star for the NASTY red-headed woman ( mid to late 50s id say) behind the counter. Have a better day lady , hope that i don't see you again if i return! Oh and btw they don't answer their phones . Send a telegram or something. read more

I was there mid May 2022 with 4 friends. Table was never cleaned finally asked owner? to wipe of table, no placemats even though other tables had place mats, Service is lacking and the owner stopped to sing with the band(this was brunch) even though she had people waiting for food. The food was average the music was very good. I love the space I sure hope the new owner gets it together because we will not be going back till she does. read more

Avocado Toast rules! Excellent taste when complemented by tomato slices and the side of salad with carrot shavings were tasty. The black bean burger was very good -with perfect mixes of herbs and onions + tomatoes. The side of baby blue potatoes were delicious... and the ketchup sauce was excellent -I wouldn't be surprised if it was homemade. I also had their coffee with a special mix to extend the effects of the caffeine. Definitely coming back to try more dishes. Friendly and clean atmosphere accentuated by amazing surfing videos that creates a great beach vibe. read more

An instant favorite. Iv struggled to find decent food in Long Beach. Generally I feel over charged and unsatisfied like when you eat at an airport restaurant.... So.... Got take out twice this week from Island Thyme - and both times I was in love with the food. First time I got the chicken buffalo balls and potatoes as a side. Loved it and instantly wanted more. Next night I wanted to try something else so I got the Mahi wrap and buffalo chicken balls. The Mahi wrap was awesome. The struggle to find good Mahi in Long Beach has been on going but I finally found it! I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu and this will be a regular go to for me. I am excited that there is finally a place in Long Beach that feels like I'm not eating in an airport.... read more

This page says call to order but they do not take orders over the phone. I called to place an order and the woman who answered told me they only take orders on Grubhub and then while I was on Grubhub filling my cart they turned off their orders. Weirdly shady and kind of hilarious. Won't be attempting this again. read more

Owners and staff are nice and attentive, the iced coffee was great! The atmosphere seems nice and clean. I look forward to coming back sometime soon to grab a bite to eat. read more

The Cafe unfortunately falls short each time I've been there. The best part of this local restaurant is the band they have play on Saturday nights. I think it's the only reason they draw a crowd and a slam packed floor, only once a week. The food is sub par, and the service even worse. It took over 2 hours for me to receive a piece of fried chicken on a bun,, and the waitress stacked everyone's plates on top of each other while serving us our meals.....dirty bottoms of dishes inside my friends fresh salad (???!!!!!!) They ignore reservations and accommodating customers on a freezing cold winter night. After making a reservation we were turned away, and told they were full. One of the owners actually sat at a table with friends while leaving us standing in the doorway. It's very sad to see a local small business that should succeed, be a complete unorganized flop. Two thumbs down read more

Don't even bother going...food was not good, service is slow, not clean and the cooks in the back kitchen do not wear masks.

I absolutely love the cafe, it has such a nice vibe to it, along with great food. The employees are very sweet and caring. The avocado toast is also to die for! Recommend 100% read more

I had to come on and give this a review because I've been here several times a while back and the food has always been good but the service was not great back then.So today was a wonderful surprise! Service: They seem to have changed the format so that there are now servers that serve you at your table rather than ordering at the counter and Having somebody randomly drop it off or going to the counter and picking it up yourself. The waitress service has made a spectacular difference in the experience here! Our waitress Delilah was absolutely delightful very attentive and so sweet. She was on top of our every need which was a welcome change and made sure that everything was perfect. Food: The food itself was fantastic! I've recently been going vegan and trying very hard to find options locally. However most places will just throw a bunch of vegetables into a wrap and Call it vegan. The veggie wrap is absolutely the opposite! Made with giant fava beans, some kind of sweet cooked onions, sweet potatoes and I'm not sure what kind of spices and Mandarin oranges in a gluten-free wrap, this was fabulous! And large enough that I ate half there and took the other half home. I also had a shot of the lemon cayenne and Ginger(?) which was a great start. We really had a great experience here save that one of the cooks went bananas and started screaming and scared the customers have to death. This went on for at least 10 minutes with him banging doors and going in and out it was actually quite scary. I felt sorry for the servers who were young and not sure exactly what to do. We told them quite clearly that the thing to do was call the police because everyone was actually scared and it caused several people to leave. The servers stayed very composed and took some off of our check but nobody called the police which would've been the correct thing to do. It was not anyone's fault and they managed to keep people relatively calm but given the current situation with crazy shootings and things there should be a protocol to call the police immediately when somebody becomes enraged like that. It was too bad to end the experience that way but overall it was still worth giving a very big shout out for the improvement in service to match the delicious food. read more

Favorite spot for breakfast in Long Beach!! Must go! Their food is amazing; açaí bowls, pancakes and smoothies are delicious. Every time I'm in LB i go there. They recently upgraded the inside to be more of a cafe style. The Bee Healthy bowl is a must; comes with açaí, granola, bee pollen, bananas and honey read more
