My favorite shop in Long Beach, and the best frittata I've ever had anywhere, ever. Seriously. The patio is cute AF.I get a cold brew growler every week, and the ricotta jam toast is so good. All of the jams are made in house or locally.The service is always flawless and kind, and they know many of their customers by name ?️‍⚧️?️‍?

Amazing food and even better customer service....the guava & almond butter with a lime is the best way to start your day! The vibe is comfortable and the staff is super friendly. 10/10 recommend for any and everyone

Came here on my lunch break and I was in the mood for something sweet. I ordered the vegan tangerine dream cake--I loved the taste and the attention to detail of the frosting and tangerine slice garnish on top.

Enjoyed my experience at this simple little Hideaway Café. The only thing negative I would say is the prices are rather expensive. I think it's about 5.00 for tea (hot water & a tea bag).

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming café, and I must say, it left quite an impression. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. Our friend from Dusseldorf, whose taste buds are undoubtedly refined, vouched for the quality of the pastries and coffee, and I couldn't agree more. Each sip of coffee was rich and satisfying, while the pastries were baked to perfection, boasting a delightful blend of flavors.One aspect that particularly impressed me was the selection of breakfast and brunch dishes. It's not often you find a place that offers such a variety of fresh, light, and healthy options. Whether you're craving something savory or sweet, there's something on the menu to satisfy every palate.The ambiance of the café is casual yet inviting, with indoor bar seating adding to the cozy atmosphere. However, the real gem lies in the outdoor patio, complete with heat lamps and sun shades. It's the perfect spot to enjoy your meal al fresco, no matter the weather.What truly sets this establishment apart is its commitment to being a local favorite. Supporting a place run by such passionate individuals who consistently deliver exceptional food and service is a pleasure. Overall, I can confidently say that this café is a hidden gem worth discovering.

Great service and pastries and delicious coffee, verified by our friend from Dusseldorf. Good selection of fresh light and healthy breakfast/brunch dishes. Casual ambiance with counter indoor seating and nice outdoor patio with heat lamps and sun shade. Happy to support a local establishment with great people, food and service.

Visited this local small coffee shop yesterday and the food and service was amazing. I got the vegan grain bowl and a piece of toast with a side of persimmon jam. All of it was fantastic. The only reason for 4 stars is because it was quite expensive for the toast and jam (about $9) but because I wanted to try the jam, I was willing to pay it. And the slice of toast was large but $6 was a bit a much. Will definitely go back though because I want to try the meyer lemon jam. Everyone was kind and helpful.

The best staff, delicious pastries, breakfast and lunch items and simply the most welcoming and diverse spot in Long Beach. I love supporting women-run businesses, so def feels great to shop here.

Food was pretty good here! Service was friendly, but the coffee was a bit lacking; regardless, I would still visit again to give it another shot since everything else was was on par.

UPDATE - still the best :) The gluten free financiers are so delish!~~~WOW Wide Eyes is something really special. The coffee is obviously very high quality and they have some house specials that will knock your socks off. Personally, I think it's the best coffee in the LA/OC area, which is saying a lot considering that LB in particular has several great spots. The food is the best, they do it up royal and in their own distinctive style whatever it is. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free. House made no sugar added nut milk. It's a little pricey but in this case it is more than justified!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread. House made nut milk with no sugar added.

Adorable restaurant in Long Beach. Plenty of street parking or a city lot nearby. They have outside seating. Service was great and the quality of the food was amazing. Highly recommend the Matcha, it was delicious! Our meal was simple but flavorful. You can tell they use high-quality fresh ingredients. I will be back!
