50 Best Cafes near Paramount

“Went In there today for a cup of coffee. Was greeted by a very friendly lady. She had mentioned she had been at the shop since 3 AM. Didn't get to ask her name. I give her a ton of credit for maintaining that beautiful smile. The coffee was fresh and hot. They doughnuts looked delicious but I had to pass and told her next visit I will definitely try. Will definitely be back and highly recommended.“

“This is truly a gem of a hole in the wall!! Almost literally, and I say that with respect and appreciation. This cute little eatery is easy to miss, being tucked in a very small strip mall (if it even qualifies as that!) between a small pharmacy and a laundromat, just south of the Arco on the corner of PCH and Pacific. But once you have eaten here, boy oh boy is it hard to forget!I come here about once every other week when I'm on a regular work schedule. Became hooked immediately with their unique bahn mi sandwiches and their pate chaud. Now I'm completely obsessed with their plant-based shrimp spring rolls and their grilled pork bun bowl. That bowl is the perfect balance of light and filling, flavorful and refreshing. It is one of my lunch go-to options. And the plant-based shrimp rolls are AMAZING. Obviously I'm not vegan, but this is an item that I enjoy so much despite it all.I have yet to try their pho. Maybe one of these days. They do have seating inside, but no restroom. Also, parking lot is small and shared, so I avoid coming during peak lunch hours, usually after 1 to pick up my food, and I've had no issues.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, flavorful too!Parking: Parking lot is pretty small and shared with a pharmacy, laundromat and discount store.“

“4++ great neighborhood coffee shop that has fun, chill vibes, and enthusiastic service. There's fun decor inside and looks like a place where people can hang out or get some reading and/or work done. I only got an Americano or drip from here (with added cream), so I can't really speak to the food items or any of the more complex, possibly more sugary drinks here. It looks like they roast their own beans here as well. I had a lot of coffee at home at the time of my visit, so I didn't buy a bag. I might have to come back and grab one. Parking was easy to find. There's a lot on the side of the building. If the lot is full, I'm pretty sure you could find street parking close by.“

“#UbuntuCafe is located in the #BelmontHeights community of #LongBeach #90814. It is well known to all the locals as “The Greatest Neighborhood Cafe”. #RTR knows it as a great place to come enjoy delicious food & enjoy the weather in the outdoor open setting. I always order the chicken bowl! Yummy Yummy~ See you here!“

“My friend and I had just finished a hot yoga sesh in the area and wanted something healthy to eat. Lucky me, she found Appu's! We were greeted by Chef VR himself! He made us feel so welcomed and gave us wonderful recommendations since it was our first time. We were not disappointed as the food was sooooo bomb! The vegan mango lassi is his own recipe and I was mind blown how good it was especially being vegan and having no sugar added (besides the fruit). The burritos were ‍ ??‍?? and filled with so much flavor. I can't wait to come back and try all the other dishes! ?“

“AMAZING FOOD! Love that it is non alcoholic as it definitely invites a positive crowd. Very lowkey neighborhood as well. Service was quick and snappy. My friend did not like her original order but they exchanged it for something else on the menu with no issues. Will be returning often as a resident of signal hill“

“My favorite place to get egg coffee outside of saigon or hanoi! Better than even some places in vietnam actually. The owner is super duper sweet and helpful. Every drink we have ever gotten here was excellent.The place is in the middle of kind of a drab shopping mall. So its hard to imagine such a gem can be found here. But give it a try. So so good.“

“A Haven for Bread Enthusiasts and Culinary Adventurers I've been eager to explore this quaint spot for some time now, and serendipitously, while in dire need of bread and passing by, we decided to pop in for a quick visit. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality from the staff. Their welcoming demeanor instantly made us feel at home. One of the first things that caught our attention was the impressive array of breads and baked goods on display. The selection was diverse, ranging from traditional loaves to more exotic varieties, each exuding an enticing aroma that hinted at their artisanal craftsmanship. It was evident that a great deal of care and skill went into the creation of these baked delights. But what truly set this place apart was its inclusion of various unique sundries, adding an extra layer of excitement to our visit. From locally sourced honey and preserves to imported cheeses and specialty spices, there was a treasure trove of culinary delights waiting to be discovered. It was a delightful surprise to find such a wide range of high-quality provisions under one roof, further showcasing the commitment to excellence that this establishment embodies. After much deliberation, we settled on a few loaves to take home, along with a cortado to enjoy on the spot. The coffee, in particular, was a revelation--rich, robust, and expertly brewed, it provided the perfect complement to our freshly acquired bread. Admittedly, the prices were a bit higher than what one might expect to pay for bread. However, it's important to recognize the value in supporting small businesses, especially those that prioritize quality and craftsmanship. In this case, the premium price tag felt justified by the superior quality of the products and the personalized service provided by the staff. In summary, our impromptu visit to this charming establishment proved to be a delightful surprise. With its welcoming atmosphere, delectable offerings, and commitment to artisanal excellence, it's a gem that deserves to be cherished and frequented by bread enthusiasts, culinary adventurers, and coffee aficionados alike.“

“Dont mind driving 2 hours to come eat and take home baked goods.Loved the potato balls and the guava strudels. Parking on a Saturday was a little tricky. There was a farmer market behind Porto’s. We parked out ok the street.If you see along line don’t be intimidated by it it goes by quick. Get off and come enjoy some good food.“

“I ventured out this morning on my day off for coffee that wasn't Starbucks and found this coffee shop through Yelp. What drew me here was the Cajeta Latte. I got it iced and it was delicious. The right amount of sweetness and it was honestly unique to anything else other shops offer. Employees were pleasant and the inside is cozy with lots of different types of seating for business, studying and a good casual first date location. Cute artwork and an inclusive space for all. They offer mobile printing services which was something I have never seen done before! Parking was a breeze on a Thursday morning and I definately will add this coffee shop to my list of rotation.“

“I ordered the chicken fried steak and it tastes was savory,fresh and crispy. The gravy was smooth, creamy and not so salty. The service is very responsive and respectful however this place does get packed so expect a wait time. Ambiance feels like a hole in the wall type dinner as the location is in between many other shops in a shopping area. Well worth the wait.“

“Delicious cheesecakes.I've been there twice.We've tried Cookies & Cream and pecan with chocolate sauce. It's advertised as caramel. However, it's dark and doesn't taste like caramel.I scrape it off and use my own syrup.That's my only gripe about that particular cheesecake.I would recommend people try them.**I would also love for them to have more flavors available.“

“I go to The Cabinet every morning on my way to work. The staff is friendly and courteous, it's always clean inside, and most importantly, the coffee is incredible! I am so happy to have this so close to my apartment. Undoubtedly the best coffee in Long Beach! It has a great vibe and a really nice little lounge in the back to hang out, do some work, or just enjoy your awesome, expertly crafted drink. 10/10 highly recommend!“

“Loved this place! The lady was very friendly and honest about the customer feedback regarding the flavors.The injeolmi flavor was absolutely amazing. They were playing 70’s music in the background and it was one of my favorite experiences visiting LA.“

“Last minute search for a breakfast/brunch type spot and found Marin Cafe. It's located in an area off of Rosmead that shares a small parking lot with Zapien's Salsa Grill. It is a small lot but there's parking on the other side. I went while it was raining in the morning around 9 so it was pretty empty. The cafe is a small shop with 3 four-seater tables so not good for huge groups. But the decor was really cute and cozy. A mix of cafe and small bakery. Love the painted walls with the cake and bakery items painted on. There was a large display case of various bakery good from conchas, to croissants, to cakes and cake slices. Everything looked so good. Brisa (I hope I didn't spell her name incorrectly, apologies!) was our barista and she was lovely. Very friendly and let us take our time, she answered my bf's questions about the food. We chatted here and there and then placed our orders with her. She kept us updated on our food as they made the wrong sandwich for me and needed to remake it which was no problem and appreciated. The food was delicious! We ordered a concha, with an Abuelita hot latte, a mocha hot latte, breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich. Recommend the Abuelita hot latte for sure, perfect on a rainy cold day. The chocolatey spice from the Abuelita was so good with the espresso, the mocha was great as well great blend of chocolate and coffee. Now the breakfast sandwich was bomb, presentation and taste were great. Eggs were hot and fluffy, bacon crispy, with ham, and refreshing tomato avocado and lettuce with a honey mustard type sauce. It also came with a side of potato salad, pickles and banana peppers. The potato salad is EXACTLY how I like it, not mayonnaise-y and sweet. Brekfast burrito was nice and filling too, bf said he'd definitely add bacon next time as mine was crispy in my sandwich hash browns were crispy and the creamy lime cilantro sauce was so good with it. I also ordered a slice of the mocha tres leches cake...so good not overly sweet and mocha wasn't too strong. The cake was overly saturated with milk which I would've like but it had the right amount of moistness so not to make it soggy. All in all definitely reccomend this little gem of a cafe. Owners and staff are all friendly and the food and drinknwere fantastic. Definitely coming back for more cake!“

“"RightExperience" I was visiting LB and made RightMealz my choice three times in three days. I even got to meet the owner Chris. In principle it's a simple business, but the execution and food was just perfect. The staff is friendly - even the coffee is superb. Long Beach is lucky to have them!“

“Great coffee shop, good coffee. I got a pour over of their Kenyan blend. Was very good. Will return to try their other drinks. Few seating options but given the size of the space, it's understandable. The staff was very friendly as well.“

“After losing our beloved cat Bella in April of this year, our family was ready to adopt a new kitten(or two) but felt a bit apprehensive as to how to find a reputable rescue. We heard about Catmosphere, and after seeing the adorable kitties on their website, submitted the online adoption application. Sooo happy we did! Gail contacted me right away, and told us about two tuxedo kittens ready for their new home. The entire process was smooth and professional from start to finish. Gail was amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable about the kittens, set up our meeting with the kitties and it was love at first site! I was so impressed with how well-cared for and well-behaved these kittens were! All of the initial kitten exams, vaccinations, spay/neuter were all taken care of, making it so easy to transition them into our home. Our new kitties have adjusted very well to our home and we are just in love with them both! This has been by far the best cat adoption process we've ever experienced, and I strongly recommend that anyone looking to bring a new kitty or two into their family do so via Catmosphere Laguna Foundation. Purrfect!!!“

“Besteas Boba is pretty good, and they often have good deals. They have a large selection of options. Just be aware that many flavors can taste very artificial, so if you’re not into that it may not be the spot for you! The owners are very nice!“

“Always trust yelp! no wonder why there's so many good reviews on the wholesome bowl it's like a healthy taco bowl it's amazing! Also got the pro Tien dreams movie which was an amazing healthy tasting smoothie. I will definitely be coming here more now that they closed my favorite place in this center tocaya“

“Excellent lunch spot. Was pleasantly surprised by this lunch spot. The food to price to service is excellent. The prices are reasonable. The portion sizes are reasonable. The quality of the ingredients is great. And the service staff is on point. I highly recommend this place. Parking is convenient. Note this is not a stand alone restaurant. The restaurant is located within a business plaza. They also offer a half sandwich and soup combo. My friend got the mushroom soup and half a sandwich and said the soup was excellent. Another friend got the Cobb salad and said it was great. I got the club sandwich and was very pleased with my order. We also got an order of the hummus to share which I highly recommend. Will be back. Thank you!!“

“This mom and son cafe in Huntington Park, opened last year. Dishes from menu served have been passed down from generations to bring a taste from Jalisco. I tried their wholesome and tasty Chilaques con huevo served with Peruvian beans, a good tasting salsa verde, and a nicely brew-blend Columbian coffee. Thanks to a very friendly Robert, son,, who waited, making it a pleasant and enjoyable experience.Will definitely go back to try more of their dishes.“

“Short: Charming café with down to earth people, no frills menu. Staff is friendly & the environment is calming. Dog friendly patio. Long: Parking is abundant in the marina lot. Exterior vibe is boaty lol as the café is tucked away between the Wilmington Marina & surrounded by boats. There are booths & a counter inside but why would you sit inside if the outside is refreshing? Lol There is usually a pup or two on the patio that is generally calm. There are occasions the pups go a little nuts over the birds or ducks around. Lol Yes, there is a small menu for dogs. Staff is friendly, professional, & efficient. Food is simple but good. A couple surprises: the French toast & the menudo. Both are delicious! WC: Key required, separate facilities for ladies & gents.“

“Quiet little coffee shop with a welcoming owner. Ordered two regular coffees with a dirty chai latte. Hot drinks and good size cups for a medium. Ordered a regular butter muffin and the owner took it to warm it up and slice it for us as well. Never received that kind of service from a smaller end coffee shop before. Definitely not from a chain either. Lovely outside patio tables and chairs and the greenery surrounding the area is lovely. Highly recommend. Very clean bathroom as well“

“I tried their lox bagel today, and it was so satisfying. They do not skimp on the cream cheese, the lox, or the caper. All the ingredients tasted fresh and fragrant. Service was friendly and attentive, even though it's just counter service. Hours after I finished my bagel sandwich, my stomach is still thanking me.“

“Coffee is good & vegan dount as well!Came here for a quick coffee run! Big time worth it!Ordered there Iced Horchata Latte 5/5Cost $ 7.50$1.00 for oatmilkTotal $8.50Vegan Dount$3.00The place was good but it cost a lot for a coffee for sure!Perfect place to do some work!For sure, it's a nice vibe!“

“Went in for early Easter breakfast, very cute local spot. The food was delicious and the price was very affordable. I ordered the breakfast burrito was very yummy. The service was very quick and the servers checked up us on a lot. They kept asking us if we needed anything or if we needed coffee / water refills.“

“Stopped by for breakfast before heading to the airport. Service from the Asian lady was much better than the white female lady.Food:Fruit BowlPopeye OmeletBiscuits & GravyThe Popeye Omelet was good and plentiful. I truly enjoyed the Biscuits & Gravy. It was delcious.I'd return again“

“We stopped here for coffee and dessert, the place is a bit old and needs to be cleaned and dusted, in general the restaurant is cozy, there are only three tables inside but more seating is available outside, but if you stay outside be prepared to smell smoking or weed from people passing by. We ordered Expresso and sweet bread, the coffee was really good and the bread was okay, not really amazing, lots of pictures on the wall from famous people, specially Jeni Rivera, but this area is dirty and definitely should be cleaned.The restroom is clean and lots of free parking is available.“

“came here on a saturday & it was exceptional !it's small but wasn't too busy, which worked out ! Everyone is really friendly, and the pastries were delicious.I got a Honey Oat Latte price of $6it had a perfect balance of sweet & strong ! 10/10my friend ordered a Burnt Carmel Latteprice of $5.50tried it and it was good ! Probably a little bit stronger but still good !Don't know the pastry names, but they were phenomenal 10000/10the vibe is everything !Coming back for sure ! ♡“

“This is a perfect reason why i love Yelp so much. When searching for an avocado toast brings you to a community Gem. Shout out to the person who helped us in front. Happy 9-year anniversary!!!Located a couple blocks up from Pacific Street in HP on state.Parking: has a very spacious parking lot and free parking.Inside: inside is small but very beautifully decorated. All seats and tables are located outside.Service: It's over counter service, so you order first, then you take a. Seat. The person af register was nice and helpful.Food: My spouse and I shared a couple of things; we got an avocado with scrambled egg. It was served with pico de gallo on top. Never had that on a toast 10/10 i had the spinach egg sandwich but loadeed with bacon and avo 10/10. Got matxha latte ice and mex latte ice 9/10 had their homemade coffee cake. Recommend to get it warm 10/10. Oatmeal was ok, to be honest. Oats weren't quite ready, and milk was luke warm. 8/10. But it didn't matter because everything else was amazingPrice: if you read my post, you know i love a deal. We got all this unbder $50 with tip included.We notice they have lunch option as well. Will definitely be returning for that“

“The food was good But I didn't get my correct order. 2+2+2, I only received 1 French toast, I guess 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon. They brought me 1 slice of French toast/bread and cut it in half (as if to say it was 2). I went there after my senior workout class with the ladies (I was the only black person out of our group). So, I'm not sure if it was intentional or what because how are they going to think that was a 2+2+2? They were really nice and I previously went there 2 other times and their omelettes were delicious, I hope my order wasn't right on purpose because I like the place. I should have said something but didn't want to feel like I was trying to start something. I think I'll stay away for a few weeks. ?“

“The bacon avocado toast was the best I've ever had and I try them all! It's huge and full of fun extras! The bacon was perfectly cooked and plenty of it. To top it all the service and lattes were just as top notch! I'll be back!“

“Excellent dining experience. We went to Lunch to take advantage of the outstanding view of the Driving experience course. server, was attentive without being intrusive. We started our meal sharing fresh oysters and Scallops which were incredibly fresh, briny and delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the salad and pork dishes on the menu, which accommodated my gluten allergy. We had a salad with a delicious dressing and it was beautiful, fresh and appetizing. Such a nice weekend lunch with friend in a lovely spot.“

“From the first visit, Civitas has been our favorite ever since! Whenever we are out of town and try another coffee shop we always compare that coffee shop to Civitas. "Is it as good as Civitas?" The answer is very rarely a "yes". Our regular order is an unsweetened iced oat milk latte! And I would like to say that it doesn't give us "that first sip feeling", it gives us "that every sip feeling"! Wonderful baristas, delicious coffee, and reasonable prices! :)“

“NO BREAKFASTShowed up for breakfast sandwiches & the menu changed, they did not have breakfast options. This was the only reason for 4 stars rather than 5.I ordered the lavender oat latte without sweet foam & the farmers market sandwich. The latte was the perfect sweetness & the sandwich had super fresh ingredients & warm focaccia.It was almost $50 for 2 lattes & 2 sandwiches but the ambiance was great. Very clean with lots of natural light & roomy tables. A great place to get some work done.“

“Absolutely the best cafe de olla I've EVER had so far!Atole de nuez with half the sugar was perfect! The coco atole was also delicious! Waffles, mini pancakes, and Nutella crepes were amazing. Not at as sweet as I thought. Just the right touch of sweet! Definitely coming back to try the chilaquiles! Definitely a place you must try!“

“great food, great vibea! we got the family style and it was so good, highly recommend the lamb chops! someone in our group cried because the food was so good. the waitstaff was so nice and helpful (especially Fabio) and it was a great night, highly recommend!“

“Came here for the hype and it was pleasant and enjoyable but nothing to really rave aboutThe server was really nice and accommodating when we were deciding on what drinks and add ons to orderWe ordered a couple of the classic milk teas and again, I'd come back here if I was in the neighborhood but wouldn't go too far out of my wayMapo Tots: Maybe get?It's a fun loaded tots idea but the two flavors don't really go hand in handFood/Drinks: 6/10Service: 8/10Atmosphere: 6/10Value: 6/10“

“American breakfast/lunch restaurant in Cypress, on Lincoln and Moody, right across the IHOP. Clearly, way better than the latter... Fairly packed at around noon, especially on weekends (come earlier or later, it's open until 1:30 PM). The food is quite good. Maybe not spectacular, but still better than average. I had the California Chicken Sandwich, which comes with bacon, avocado slices, and iceberg lettuce. Everything was fresh and tasty. I would have preferred a plumper chicken breast (the kind "Paul's" serves on Cerritos and Knotts) instead of more smashed meat, but that's down to personal preference. My wife had the breakfast burrito, and it was quite good.“

“The tuna apple sandwich and salad combination is a unique and refreshing twist on a classic sandwich. The combination of the savory tuna with the sweet and crisp apple creates a delicious flavor profile. The salad that accompanies the sandwich is usually a simple green salad with a light dressing, such as a vinaigrette or lemon juice. The salad provides a nice contrast to the richness of the sandwich and adds some freshness to the meal.Overall, the tuna apple sandwich and salad combination is a satisfying and healthy option for a quick lunch or dinner. The flavors complement each other well, and the combination of textures adds interest to the meal. It's a great choice for those looking for a lighter and more unique sandwich option.“

“Still my favorite breakfast spot of ALL TIME. We live far but still try to stop by whenever we're near. I love their chilaquiles and omelettes. The coffee is also really good and unlimited. However, the must haves are the super spuds. Make sure to upgrade your hash browns!!!“

“Just came from the beach and decided to come here.The place is very welcoming,very clean.The young lady that rang me up was nice.There's a long bench to sit on & Hawaiian music being played while you wait for your order.I ordered the Halo Halo and Rootbear float for the wife.Halo2 was good compared to the other ones that I've tried but the wife didn't like hers. I might come back for the halo2 and try the mais con Yelo if I'm in the area.“

“My kids and I love the variety of beverages here and the quality is always great. The decor and atmosphere is welcoming also and a nice trip we treat ourselves to sometimes. No matter how different a drink we want, the staff is always accommodating. I love the taro milk tea, and sometimes I add lavender tea - It's delish!“

“I loved the service at this place! My family and I went to celebrate my sister’s birthday. We were seated quickly (we went on a Wednesday morning) & we received our food shortly after placing our order. The menu had plenty of options & variety. I wish the food had a little bit more flavor, but it was still good.Parking: Parking is very limited.“

“I am really new to the vegan world! But my daughter has made the change and committed. I took her to The Grain for her birthday. The place is very welcoming, the service is excellent. The food is wonderful to say the least! Can't wait to get back for more of the the exciting fare. The menu being quite extensive, cpmpleted with a very tasty dessert selection. And, they also have a Seperate offering of Authentic Oaxacan food, very quaint. Long time in the community. Look them up“

“The breakfast burrito is phenomenal. I order it without pico de gallo, bacon, & add potatoes. Eggs are fluffy, potatoes are seasoned and have a Cajun kick, & bacon is thick. It may look small but it’s hearty!This coffee shop has a calm, inviting atmosphere. There is outlets so great place to work/study.“

“I LOVE this place! The food is always amazing whether dine in or take out, I'm salivating. The servers are so kind and do their job well. And the VIBES! that place is so cute they either have live music or some good jams playing in the resturant. I take everyone I know here. Can't wait for my next visit ?“

“They have wonderful gourmet bagels that are a cut above your typical mundane ones. All the breakfast bagel sandwiches are intriguing, but I haven't had the chance to try them yet. Now I have a very good reason to return. My new job is in Lakewood, and I will also check out their original location.“

“I was having a rough day and really needed some caffeine and a snack. I walked in and the environment was immediately cozy, calm, and inviting. This kind woman answered all of my questions and recommended me a beverage with coffee infused ice cubes!! It was extremely delicious and my new favorite coffee by far! (Coming from a Starbucks barista's perspective). I also had a cini mini, and it was a perfect, sweet little snack to pair with my coffee. Thank you for a great experience, y'all just earned a new regular!“
