    The Blt

    It's been quite some time since I've last dined here and it was just as cozy and yummy as I remember. As a LB native it's nice to come back and see that nothing has changed with the place. Service is excellent as per usual! Check this spot out if you haven't already!

    When you want an old school breakfast experience, go to the Coffee Cup Cafe located on 4th St in Long Beach. They don't have a private parking lot so finding a space, especially on the weekends can be challenging but worth the search. I love Frence Toast, not with Challah, Brioche or another bread type. I like good old white or wheat Wonder Bread or something similar. You have a choice of 1, 2 or 3 slices cut in half. The sausage links were cooked great, but 4 links were too much. I would prefer 2 in the future. Service and price were also great. The Coffee Cup Cafe has been around a long time and if you like standard breakfast and lunch fare, you'll love the Coffee Cup.

    Always consistent and good! Nice people work here, it's packed on the weekends. It can be a little loud at times, but it's worth it. FOOD*** I usually get the Potato Scramble with Bacon, but today I got the ABC omelette. It was delicious! Check out the picture, the avocado was perfect! I shared this with my wife and it was the perfect size breakfast to fill you up but not weight you down. SERVICE*** Everyone that works here is polite and friendly. I've actually been dining here since 2007-2008. Never had a bad experience. Can't believe I never reviewed it before. The 2 Latino guys that work here are the ultimate Long Beach vibe. They genuinely make my day better every time I see them. PARKING*** Street parking only, but there's plenty of spots. Thanks again Coffee Cup Cafe, see you next weekend!

    Had the French toast combo and the chicken fried steak for breakfast with the gf. The chicken fried steak was really good. I'm shocked I don't come here more often but was reminded today that this is one of the better breakfast spots in Long Beach

    A no-frills diner that my husband has frequented throughout his life. They have a really friendly staff that's constantly checking up on you at the bar, and it makes you feel right at home. I've eaten here twice now and the food doesn't disappoint. It's classic diner breakfast food with some Mexican options. The portions are hefty and definitely shareable and the coffee I has unlimited refills. I had the LB favorite omelette this time and they did not skimp on any of the ingredients inside. I loved it and I will always be down to eat here!

    Saturday brunch was delicious! First time visiting & I really enjoyed this cafe. Started off with spectacular service from David (the "bus boy"). He was a true pleasure. Extremely attentive, warm personality. We honestly thought that he was our server. We saw him more than...never mind. I'd visit again for him alone. This casual diner was packed and you could tell that the majority of customers are regulars. Breakfast burrito filed with garlic chicken sausage was so good. Massive in size and easily could've fed two people. Pancakes are great French toast is great. Ironically I didn't find my cup of coffee to be that great, but I will definitely visit again for the food.

    I've been coming here for over 15 years, and I'll come back for 15 more. This place has been very consistent over the years and they never fail to make sure their customers leave with a smile and a full belly. The food here has been consistently delicious, offering the best breakfast items and a great variety. The service here has always been great, too! The ambiance is what makes it unique - it still very much gives the mom and pop diner kind of vibe, that's how you know the food will be amazing. They even have the same tables from when I first started coming here 15 years ago. They're consistent in many ways! My only gripe here is the parking. Expect to park in the neighborhoods and go for a stroll. On my last visit I had to park about two blocks away and walked over - luckily it's a short walk but it's totally worth it. Overall, I highly recommend this cafe and will keep coming back!

    Fiesta Bowl (Black beans, pouched eggs, and avocado) 10/10
    Denise P.

    Love this place. Although, my last visit was probably the worst service I've ever experienced and they weren't even that busy. I never sat at the counter before so unsure if it was due to that. I was never asked if I wanted a refill on my water. I kept having to ask, which has never been an issue before. My sausage was never brought out. Lastly, I was charged for coffee when I didn't order any. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. Everything on the menu is great. I love their Sunrise Fiesta Bowl 10/10. If you love black beans and eggs I highly recommend this dish. Add some salsa and this meal is complete. This breakfast/lunch spot is typically busy. The service is fast and efficient. They are great at coffee refills and checking in on you. Plenty of seating. No outdoor seating.

    Their food is consistent and you can tell they use fresh ingredients. My girlfriend loves their flavored coffee. Just good homemade food

    Great coffee shop with an extensive menu with such a great variety of food! Quick and friendly service- super attentive and helpful. Comfortable atmosphere with a good amount of seating for a weekday morning. It's my understanding there can be a wait on the weekends! Parking is street parking so it's a crap shoot but worth it!

    The food is really good. Miss the Louisiana /cajun influence but the food is still great . The servers are rude most of the time , but the bussers /ones who bring you drinks are super kind . Waiting 45 minutes for our food , for a party of 4, just kind of turns me off from coming here. My kids really like the food tho and I enjoy the scramble . We always debate whether to eat here bc we don't want to give service to bad customer service but we also do like the food .

    Carmen D.

    So with a name like The Coffee Cup Cafe I was excited to see what the coffee was like. Happy to say they delivered. The coffee is excellent. Some of the food selections were good and other items not so much. Bacon, over cooked, sausages lacked flavor. Potatoes were bland. Chocolate chip pancakes were good & stuffed cream cheese French toast were good, not great. Overall a bit disappointing.

    A family member wanted to try this new place "The Coffee Cup Cafe"! We came on a Saturday morning around 8:30am. We were nicely greeted and was seated immediately. Place started to pick up with customers. Good dining area and spacious. Parking was street and was available. I've ordered the Veggie scramble eggs with tomatoes and was very tasty! As a healthy person, I enjoyed the meal. The server was helpful and professional. Out party ordered, French toast with scrambled eggs, veggie quesadillas. The children menu had several to select from. Place is clean. Overall we were full and happy to trying this place. We will return.

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!

I started with a cup of their beef and barley soup. My wife and I both make this at home from scratch and we're both impressed by theirs. My wife took a taste of mine and instantly ordered her own. 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.

    I've never had a restaurant refuse to honor a confirmed reservation. This review isn't about a…read morerestaurant making an honest mistake (things happen, I get it). It's about how management handled it. We made a reservation three days in advance to watch the Mexico World Cup match. We arrived 10 min early to our reservation in anticipation of the crowds. We received confirmation by both email and text, but when we arrived, we were told there was no reservation and "nothing they could do." Despite showing proof of our confirmed reservation, they refused to honor it and told us there were no tables available. Seconds later, another group walked up and asked to join the waitlist, and he gladly added them. I then asked why we couldn't be added--considering we had a confirmed reservation--and only then did he put us on the list. When a restaurant makes a mistake, the bare minimum is trying to make it right. We should have been given priority on the waitlist. Instead, after nearly two hours of waiting, we were still ninth in line even though the wait time for our table size showed 0 minutes. We left without ever being seated. Thankfully before the match began, we walked over to Broken Spirits (5 min walk away) where they seated us within 15 minutes and even gave us complimentary drinks to celebrate the game. The difference in hospitality was incredible. This wasn't my first disappointing experience here, either. On a previous visit, I waited outside to be seated for so long that I eventually gave up and seated myself at the bar. To make matters worse, the food and drinks don't justify the price. Cocktails are around $20, filled with ice, and underwhelming. As a customer, I left Ordinarie feeling dismissed and disrespected. Between the poor service, overpriced menu, and management's complete lack of accountability, I won't be returning. If you're in the DTLB area, I would recommend better drinks/better service at Broken Spirits or Midnight Oil :)

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.

The menu has a ton of really detailed options, each drink with its own depth. The menu changes seasonally but what doesn't change is the smoked old fashioned - a must-order. They smoke your drink in a glass container using applewood chips; it's quite a show and it also does make the drink much more enjoyable. Ask the bartender and they can also help guide you to a drink - I've done it a couple of times and always pleasantly surprised. Next up, the food! The hummus was very flavorful and paired with an amazing fluffy pita bread. The truffle fries were solid but the plate was HUGE, definitely needs a friend to share. The Nashville wings are the star of the show. I cannot stress this enough, this is worth a DRIVE for. The seasoning really does remind you of Howlin' Rays (the highest compliment) and the chicken is extremely crispy yet insanely juicy. The pickles and ranch that it comes with pairs so well. Do note that they are tossing it in pork fat, which enhances the depth but also makes it a little greasy at the end. I also wished they'd warn you this and offer to order it without it; especially for those who don't eat pork or for those trying to cut some calories. There's a happy hour menu too!!! So you can get drinks and food even cheaper. I cannot stop thinking about this place. It's such a sleeper. Head to Midnight Oil after a visit to continue your night.

It was getting pretty long We got the buscits which was a let down. They were cold. A bit hard and the butter was unable to be spread. The gumbo was less flavorful and if you are used to more flavorful gumbos then this one isn't for you. It it's more tamed. The rice was a little dry. It tasted like it could come from a package.

I would come back just to try more entrees. Avoid the biscuits unless you have them with gravy. Then let us know. The place is small with outside and inside seating. I attached a video of the view inside. We paid about $50 with tip for the three things and truly it was a good experience. If you like Bloody Marys I would say to come try because we noticed nearly every table getting served one.
