My personal favorite breakfast place in East Long Beach! Homemade breakfast joint with yummy homemade jams that are delicious. Apricot one my favorite. Family owned and the service is great. Space is small so don't show up with a party larger than 8. They have a cold brew sampler that is delicious. read more

This place is ALWAYS popping. Village Cafe seems to be the spot for breakfast/lunch in the area. The menu offers a good selection of foods, coffees, and evidently they bake a good cinnamon roll. Although, I can't partake (CD), I see so many tables ordering them, and they look amazing! My mom loves the blueberry lemon pancakes. It's a good portion. I've tried the skillets and huevos rancheros, and can't complain. Parking can be a little challenging in the area during peak hours, so you may need to circle a time or two. Service is good, but it's honestly not the warmest. Every time we walk in everyone seems a bit unhappy, but I wouldn't say it affects the service. Just don't expect the warm and fuzzy feels walking in. Maybe everyone is just tired? It is family run, so maybe by the time we pop in (like12p-ish) they are spent? IDK, just thought I'd throw that out there. The place seems pretty clean, and it's decorated adorably! Very country chic, bright, and inviting. They have some patio seats, if you're wanting some fresh air. They have a few big booths, and counter seating, so there's plenty of room for various party sizes. Overall, Village Cafe is a good little spot to score an all-American breakfast, a cinnamon roll evidently, and some rays. read more

Food - like you're getting a home cooked meal. Tasty, lots of options, decent pricing. Ambiance- local mom and pop shop. Clean. Good location. Service- woman owner is rude, not warm or friendly if you're not Caucasian. The rest of the staff seems nice. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of this woman. We go regularly and she's never been warm or kind. But apparently my family is not the only one with this sentiment. Will pray for her read more

We came here twice within a week because the first visit was so good we had to come back. The vibe is very cozy cafe style small seating area, but it fits the atmosphere perfectly. Our first visit was on a Tuesday and we got seated right away. The first thing I noticed was how friendly and attentive the staff was. They kept things moving without making anyone feel rushed. The food came out fast and looked amazing. One of the servers recommended the Hangover Omelet, and it did not disappoint. At one point my pregnant wife accidentally spilled orange juice all over her plate, and what I'm assuming was the manager immediately came over, replaced everything, and made us feel completely comfortable about it. Super welcoming service. We came back the following Monday and it was much busier with a different staff. We had to wait a bit, which was understandable, but the manager that day came across a little cold and seemed bothered that we waited inside instead of outside (we honestly didn't notice any sign). That said, our waitress was fantastic very friendly and attentive. She recommended the weekly special wet breakfast burrito and WOW... it was incredible. Honestly, it should become a permanent menu item because I'd come back just for that. The food here is absolutely worth it and easily 5-star quality. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the experience with the manager on the second visit. I live far from here but if I'm in the area I'll definitely come back. read more

Service was good, pretty prompt on bringing out their food, the presentation was a little crazy but the food was great! Usually when I come here it's good! I can't complain! And it's a Christian cafe such a plus in this crazy world! Loved the music playing in the background! read more

Village Cafe on Viking Way is a quaint, classic diner. A place where you know the food is going to be good when you see that table of retired guys over in the corner solving all of the world's problems over breakfast. The California Omelet that had bacon and Ortega chilies and its delicious. The American breakfast with a nice thick slice of ham is also fantastic. Our friendly server recommended a Big County Skillet. We quickly understood why this was a popular order. The gravy came on the side, and it's great to choose how much to use and it's tasty. The Cinnamon Roll is also highly recommended. Expect a crowd, but go get a table, sit down and enjoy. Friendly staff. read more

This was a neighborhood diner. We chose to eat outside on a beautiful Saturday morning at 11:30 AM. The waitress was absolutely amazing. It was my 1st time eating here. We had a party of 4. The food was good/ not great but good. The breakfast potatoes came out burnt , so we had to send those back. My toast was incorrect. They gave me sourdough instead of white toast. The cinnamon roll was delicious. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food. Not sure if we would return ; however, it is a cute spot to go eat outside and enjoy the weather. Side note: (No toilet paper in the restroom) (Plenty of street parking) read more

One little syrup is not enough for a waffle or pancakes and the butter was so hard I tore up my waffle putting it on.

The pancakes here are so light and fluffy and delicious!!! Located in the cutest, quaint downtown area. We were seated quickly in first available outside - but they had space heaters for each table so it was perfect! Our server Olivia was the sweetest and super helpful and attentive.

If you're looking for a breakfast spot that not only serves delicious, healthy food but also treats you like family the moment you walk through the door -- look no further. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with genuine smiles and warm hellos. The staff here remember your name, your favorite order, and even ask how your day is going -- it's like visiting family (the kind that cooks amazing food!). The menu is packed with fresh, wholesome options -- think avocado toast done right, smoothie bowls that taste as good as they look, and hearty scrambles loaded with local veggies. And somehow, they manage to make it all feel indulgent without any guilt. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a neighborhood vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer over your coffee. It's clear the owners care deeply about community, health, and good food -- and it shows in every detail. Whether you're stopping in after a workout, grabbing a bite with friends, or just treating yourself to a solo breakfast date, this place hits the spot every time. Do yourself a favor and check it out. Places like this are rare -- and once you find it, you'll never want to let it go. read more

I love Cornbeef hash but the one here wasn't really to my liking. I do not like peppercorn and definitely not in my Cornbeef hash. I also like it with rice, not an option here. It was ok. I'll have to try something else when I go back. Omelette was a 3/5 goo but not great. Pancakes were 4/5. Id come back for that. The cinnamon roll was next level. 6/5, it was that good. Cold brew flight was ok. Nothing to write home about . Service was top notch. Busser, Host, Server were on it. I never set foot inside because I sat outside. I'm still salivating over that cinnamon roll and tempted to go back right now. Thank you for a good experience. See you soon. read more

Found this place by happy accident. Was being taken out to a birthday lunch and we were supposed to go to Dilly's. Dilly's is closed on Mondays. My friend said let's go to this place a couple of doors down. Lucky for me. We went in and were seated immediately. The bus guy, Rudy took our drink orders. I wanted iced tea and asked if they had any special iced teas. Rudy recommended the peach iced tea and steered me in the right direction. It was very tasty and refreshing. My friend who was taking me out for my birthday lunch was so happy, as was I, to see a beefeater sandwich on the menu. I love a good beefeater, especially if it has Ortega chili on it. One of us ordered a Reuben and one of us ordered the beefeater and we split them. We got coleslaw and french fries for the sides. The sandwiches were delicious although I took most of my Reuben half home just because I was stuffed. My friend didn't like the coleslaw, but I did. It was kind of sweet and I might have tasted a hint of pineapple. My friend noticed that the last cinnamon roll was in the case on the counter. We ordered it. Our wonderful waitress, Gina warm it up for us. It was a great finish to a great meal. There's plenty of seating inside. The restaurant is cute, the staff work well together and there's a nice vibe. read more

Disappointed. Hash browns and pancakes were Not good. The country fried steak tasted pretty cheap

This is my go to breakfast cafe! The food is amazing regardless of what you order. On my last visit I had the Macho Hangover Omlette and it was delicious! The Owners are always so kind and have such a great environment, they are the reason I keep returning. I highly recommend this place, it will become your home away from home. read more

Stumbled upon this place today. Never knew it existed. I love breakfast and decided to Try it out. I was seated quickly. It wasn't too busy. I waited for a waitor for about 10 minutes. I came before this pair of other customers but they were served first and received more attention. A little shocking as it wasn't too busy to be that inattentive. The environment here is not that welcoming. Food was good, they have great options. I would come here again to be honest I'm hoping today was just a bad day but I'll try this place out again read more

Wow, what can I say -- I inhaled my breakfast! I ordered the "Favorite" mushroom and spinach omelette (egg whites only) with fruit, sourdough toast, a side of avocado, and turkey breakfast sausage. It was so good I didn't even have time to snap a pic -- I scarfed it down the second it hit the table! Everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. The omelette was fluffy, the fruit was crisp and sweet, and the sausage had great flavor without being greasy. The service was super attentive, and the rustic fall vibe of the place made it feel warm and cozy. Plus, plenty of parking, which is always a win. I'll 100% be coming back for this one -- highly recommend if you're in the mood for a fresh, satisfying breakfast! read more

The food is so good! I had the breakfast platter and took half home. My husband had 2+2+2 with biscuits and gravy on the side. The staff is so friendly! read more

Cozy interior, nestled on a hipster-like street. Their cinnamon rolls are delicious. Love the way they serve their oatmeal with some milk and toppings on the side to add to your liking. Skillets are my go to, or any of their omelette. Perfect for a weekend breakfast with the fam, can get busy with limited space. read more

The ambiance is cozy, it has a relaxed feel with good food. The omelettes & the pan skillet with gravy was delicious!! We left around 1pm & got a free cinnamon roll, we warmed it up once we got home & the frosting is top tier I heard the oatmeal was great with all the sides, will have to try next time. Service was fast & very attentive to us, I would definitely come back again. read more

Great food, friendly staff and reasonable prices! I never knew this place was here and I've driven past many, many times.

My husband and I rarely go out for breakfast. We figure we can make it at home for much less. Not today. We decided to finally try this place today. My husband had the chorizo breakfast burrito and I had the country skillet, side of ham and coffee. My husband was impressed and I was too! Everything tasted fresh and so hot! So good! Service was nice. It was a Monday morning, but they were busy a bit. We didn't wait at all. We will definitely come back! Sorry no food pic because I enjoyed the time there! read more

Worst experience ever. My parents and I went today around 11:45-12ish obviously I understand it's Sunday and it's busy so we didn't mind the wait but the owner or whoever it was kept calling my name but kept saying never mind and sitting parties of two keep in it was just 3 of us. We kept waiting so I went to go check the list to see what place we were in turns out the paper where my name was was all the way in the bottom under 2 more sheets, completely ignored us sitting parties that came after us, and the servers gave us attitude not even trying to help us out. Didn't try the food or anything read more

Wanted to try this place because it looked busy most days. Went about noon for a brunch. We were seated quickly at a small table for two in the back. Order was taken within normal time frames, no significant wait. My breakfast omelette and country potatoes arrived and looked basic, no garnishes. My first bite was of the potatoes: barely lukewarm, in fact the second bite almost felt cool in my mouth. Tried the omelette: again it was not hot and the cheese was not melted much. I don't know how long the food sat before delivery to get so cooled off. The atmosphere was like a cheap diner, nothing special. I was disappointed in the food taste and temperature mostly. So many better choices for breakfast menu in Long Beach area. Don't plan to return to the Village Cafe again. read more

I love Village Cafe! Definitely one of my favorite brunch spots. Everyone is so nice and the food is amazing, I always have to get a cinnamon roll when I visit. It's also not overpriced like so many brunch places these days. read more

Everything was spot on. Efficient and friendly service. Impeccably clean everything. I chose the Macho Hangover Omelette which was fairly mild but held up to generous doses of hot sauce (Tabasco, Cholulu & Tapatio already on hand at the table). Look forward to going back often! read more
