“This is my favorite restaurant of the year! Exceptional food and service, and I love the ambiance of being in a converted home. The menu is almost constantly changing (so plenty of temptation to go back).The first time I visited Heritage I booked a return trip as soon as I left the restaurant. Fortunately (for my bank account, if not my taste buds) I live a couple of hours away, otherwise who knows how often I'd be there.A must try!“
“I got the mushroom carne asada bowl and the hibiscus drink. I’m not vegan but this is one of my favorite restaurants in LA. The owner is lovely. The food is delicious and portions are big! These bowls aren’t just rice and some toppings, it’s a great balance of every ingredient. The drinks are perfectly sweet and refreshing. The seating outside is comfy and relaxed. I recommend this to anyone local or visiting!!! Check them out!“
“Been stopping by Tommy & Atticus since they opened in July. The country, round sour dough is our family favorite. We've tried morning sun citrus pastry (my fav), jalapeno/cheddar sour dough bread, lunch pizza & sandwiches. Great place, great customer service.“
“The ambience of the restaurant is really nice and the staff were very friendly. Brian H was our waiter and he was very nice - since it was my first time at the restaurant he gave us some Pura Vita pins and stickers which was a nice surprise. I enjoyed all of the food we ordered and would come back and try more dishes.“

“Tive uma experiência maravilhosa no Oakberry de Hermosa. O atendimento foi incrível, an Alex nos recebeu de forma muito acolhedora e simpática, explicou tudo sobre o açaí. Ela também compartilhou suas dicas de toppings favoritos, que foram um grande sucesso. O açaí estava delicioso, e a equipe foi super atenciosa. Definitivamente, um lugar para voltar!“
“Jongewaard BAKE N BROIL is a hidden gem; in Bixby Knoll area of Long Beach; that took me straight back to the 50s with its quaint diner charm and mouthwatering treats. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by friendly faces and a warm atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Let's talk about the desserts - oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The Red Velvet cake stole the show with its rich flavor and perfect texture, earning the top spot on my list. But the German Chocolate cake wasn't far behind, delivering a decadent experience that left me craving more. And don't even get me started on the lemon cream cheese pie - it's a slice of heaven on a plate! But it's not just about the sweets at Jongewaard BAKE N BROIL. Their breakfast options are equally divine, especially the lemon blueberry pancakes, which were an absolute delight. And for those craving something heartier, the steak and eggs breakfast hit the spot, while the burgers and onion rings satisfied my savory cravings perfectly. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the welcoming atmosphere and the owner's commitment to giving young employees a chance to shine. It's refreshing to see a business that values community and opportunity as much as they value delicious food. Whether you're looking for a nostalgic trip down memory lane or simply craving some incredible comfort food, Jongewaard BAKE N BROIL is the place to be. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Anyone saying otherwise is a hater! Support local businesses.“
“They have a variety of donut flavors and the donuts are always good. Sometimes there are special items available in addition to their regular menu.Dietary restrictions: Dairy-free and veganParking: There are a few parking spaces available shared for several stores. During the week it may be more difficult to get an open space.“
“Such a nice cafe to relax and eat :D I was satisfied with my orders and the workers there! Ordered the avocado toast(They didn't have anymore sourdough and replaced it with baguette which was still so delicious!), croque monsieur, caffe latte with nutella, matcha latte, and an eclair vanilla. Everything was perfect! I would definitely come back here again if I need a small brunch :) this place was worth the visit. I highly recommend their eclairs, they did such an amazing job with them that I kept remembering how it tastes like“
“The service at this place was phenomenal. I was craving aglio olio e peperoncino and asked if they could make it for me even though it was not on their menu, and they did. It did taste great ? the mussel and veal dishes were satisfying but not phenomenal though.“
“People that give low star reviews to places because “the line is too long” or “I couldn’t find parking” are annoying. Are you expecting a coffee shop to be empty in the morning??The drinks and food are great, the staff is friendly. 5 stars.“
“I am a lover of Italian food! Overall the place was good. Everything seemed fresh and had good flavor. We ordered the burrata appetizer, which was decent. I appreciated that they had 2 types of gluten free pasta. They made the other pastas in house. Worth a try if you are craving Italian food and are in the area.“
“Can't go wrong with complimentary fresh baked bread served warm. Love Fritto Misto. We've dined in a few times and ordered takeout once. All experiences have been fantastic with staff & food, although on one visit my sauce was broken and I should have sent it back but definitely not a deterrent from future visits. Pasta is definitely made in house along with pretty much everything else. Some of the specials & really complex pasta dishes can be on the pricier side. I appreciate how affordable the simple choose your pasta & sauce option is. They don't accept reservations. This spot can be really busy during normal dinner times but if you go before 6:30 you can generally get a table easily, no problem. If you take any of their pasta to go and need to reheat it, do it on the stove & not in the microwave..“
“First time here and they nailed it. Got the Bolognese sauce, very tasty and the pasta, curly long ones, were excellent. The wine did not really pair with the red sauce, a Spanish dry red...Water next time perhaps. Will definitely return to this spot! The bread was very tasty ....after we had them cut it for us.“
“All gluten free desserts! The most popular pastry is the Almond Brioche, it was delicious and different, made with rice flour, served slightly warm and moist inside. We like it that it's not overly sweet. For coffee, we ordered a large mocha, it's on the smaller side, but it's wonderful and also not overly sweet. The service was prompt and friendly. Environment was clean and relaxing. Outdoor seating is a plus, especially for dog-owners.“
“Everything here was chef’s kiss! My visit was in person and I ordered the Beets Me Burger! The Beets Me burger was so delicious and I loved the fact that it was made from mushrooms and beets. The flavor was amazing and the brioche bun was nicely toasted. I ordered the Biscuit Bomb and through UberEats and it is The Bomb! The biscuit was nice and soft and all of the flavors paired well together. The Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup did not disappoint! I will definitely be back for another visit whenever I’m in this area!“
“I've had a few cakes from this bakery and they are delicious. The bakery is very cute, def a neighborhood gem. The cakes are large and feed a good amount of people. I like that they can do vegan and everything is decorated beautifully.“
“The pasta at this restaurant was absolutely delicious! The noodles were perfectly cooked and the sauce was rich and flavorful. The service was also top-notch and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a tasty pasta meal.“
“Laurie's has this vegan chocolate cutie pie thing in a jar... it is to DIE FOR! So good! Folx here were happy to point out the available vegan items to us. We appreciated the time they took with us. The place smelled great and was lovely to visit. The parking and some of the local drivers are terrible though. Took us a literal hour to find parking--and some weirdo followed us in his car!“
“What are you thinking?? No more plum sauce for the sticky ribs??? Noooo. The sweet and spicy sauce is good and the umami fries are amazing. Service at the bar was spot on!! Been here several times, always great service. Bring back the plum sauce!!!“
“Many of the workers do not know a lot of basic questions regarding cakes and prices. I’ve ordered some drinks here over years and .. when a cup needs to be replaced before giving it to customers please do that because several times the cups are leaking every time you take a sip. Please be better at that. Thanks.“
“Super fast, delicious, healthy - I’m so sad I didn’t find this place sooner. The chickpeas were fire, I can’t wait to try the meat options.One note is the place seems to have rebranded to “South Bay Eats” from “Ben’s Fast Food” as of writing this review, so I was a little confused finding it at first.“
“This place is incredible. I dined here with my vegetarian son twice in five days, but I’m not a vegetarian. I didn’t miss the meat whatsoever. The food was seasoned so deliciously that it was simple to eat healthier. The texture and flavor of their “meat impostors” will trick your palate! My only criticism was the bathroom was not exactly the cleanest! Given the quality of the food, this seems like an easy fix!Vegetarian options: Nothing bland here!Parking: Several parking spotsKid-friendliness: Space for childrenWheelchair accessibility: Space for wheelchair or walker“
“It’s a cool concept and convenient for a quick meal pick up. It’s not a sit down restaurant, it’s like a collective of restaurants, like a food court but not because there’s only a couple places to sit and eat. You can order food online or at the site and pick up there. I didn’t know it was set up this way so it was confusing when driving there and trying to find it. The building says Daisy on it, you can park and go in.“
“Enjoyed the baguette with butter, Anchovy Cesar salad, the Yellow Tail Special with Capers and lemon sauce as well as the Escargot. Everything was absolutely delicious. the service was outstanding and the atmosphere was so quaint and homey. I really enjoyed my experience. Will definitely be returning and recommending.“
“I’m soo impressed with the food and service at this place. I just casually visited this morning for breakfast. I felt healthy after having their balanced breakfast of scrambled eggs, turkey sausage and potatoes full of flavor with fresh fruits. The organic coffee just hit the spot. I accidentally skipped the tip portion when I made the payment through their machine, and despite me requesting a reswipe, they gladly said it’s fine. I can’t wait to go back there and pay a double tip for their exceptional service and value for money food.“
“The good:I had a red rooibos tea latte, chocolate chip brioche muffin and a custard cream and strawberry croissant from here for my birthday breakfast. The latte was great and wasn't watery nor too sweet. The custard cream was eggy and delicious. I liked that the tea was caffeine free because I'm nursing and trying to avoid caffeine. My toddler enjoyed the brioche muffin. They have so many delicious pastries to choose from. The croissant was flaky and the cream inside wasn't too thick or runny. The powdered sugar on top made it aesthetically pleasing. The bad:The brioche was just okay. It was a little confusing how it looks like a mini muffin with the texture of bread. They have something called a croissant cube that I'd love to try next time. The interesting:Rooibos tea's packed with antioxidants and is supposedly pretty healthy!“
“I love donuts. They are delicious, enriched, simple and affordable. It is what all donuts should be. This shop lives up to that expectation. The yeast donuts are fluffy and have a subtle crunch from the cooking process. The croissants are huge and generously filled. The jalapenos had a nice kick. The owners a husband and wife were both in the shop. She handles transactions with good customer service and he loaded the case. It's a labor of love and much respect to this donut shop in Long Beach. It is worth the visit for a solid donut and coffee.Parking: It was raining and early when I went. Parking could be difficult when all businesses are open.“
“Had a fantastic time at Coyote Cantina! The drinks were just perfect - strong and delicious. The Steak Tidbits and Blackened Chicken Enchiladas were both standout dishes. Plus, Carl, the owner, was incredibly welcoming, making the whole experience even more special. A cozy spot I'd recommend to “
“Saint and Sinner bakery exceeded my expectations for my baby shower cake. Wonderful customer service. They crafted a beautiful and simple design that perfectly captured the occasion, all while being super affordable. The buttercream frosting was not only delicious but also impeccably smooth and creamy. It was a hit with all the guests, and I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. My Saint and Sinner bakery is definitely my go-to for all my future cake needs!"“
“Had a great time at Primo! I booked a day-of reservation for a large party for a family dinner and they seated us in the private dining room. The restaurant interior was very nice and the food was fantastic. Service was very good and we overall had an amazing experience!“
“A coworker brought some mamon with cheese pastries and they were delicious! The sponge cake was nice and soft, and perfectly sweetened (not too sweet). The cheese added a nice savory contrast to the cake. I definitely want to try their other breads and pastries!“
“Owner and staff are super nice and the goods are delicious! My favorites are her ham and cheese on baguette, all the flaky, creamy, sweet, fruit, indulgent desserts and the mocha chocolate gf cookie! Will continue to come for the baked goodies and warm vibe.“
“I dream of this place!! Everything is delicious every time, I've been working my way through the menu and seriously you can't go wrong.GET THE MANGO STICKY RICEStylish space with wonderful serviceWill be going again soon!Dietary restrictions: Our server asked when we ordered about any restrictions - very nice“
“We had breakfast here and it was very good. I had their Quiche Lorraine, chocolate croissant and a cappuccino. My husband had the Californian and French Onion soup. The cappuccino was a bit hot (had to take off the cap to cool it off). Service was good and efficient. Will have to come back and try more from the menu.“
“Needed a little thank-you gift for our neighbor, who has a doggo. Wanted to take some tasty and high quality treats over and found Ka Huelo Bakery. The owner is extremely knowledgable about all of her handmade products. The store is super clean and her all-natural, preservative-free dog treats were the perfect gift. Thank you!“
“I was trying to place an online order. However, since I was in the area, I walked in myself. Nothing Bundt Cakes is nestled in a corner plaza. small parking area. However, I had no issue. I walked in and immediately received help. I needed more than a few minutes to decide what I was actually going to choose.Wow, this can be dangerous! they have a Reese's Peanut Butter bunt cake {rolling eyes} I just ordered all 6 that were available. I need someone to help me stop, lol. It is most definitely easy to buy with our eyes. Especially it being Valentine's Day.Actually, I'm here to get something for my neighbor she has been such a sweetheart, there was a cute 2 pack bundts together, ready for a gift chocolate chip, and lemon was in that there are several flavors for every palette you can not go wrong.!One thing I I ordered 3 RCP Assorted Buntinis at $88.00 those specifically with the stakes displaying true love, hug me, and whatnot with Maya specifically So after I got home, I realized they did not have them. So since I did not get to see in the box as everything came back packed.Next time, I will look inside. Save me the time and any errors occurring. I was not charged for them as they were an add on of 8.00 I was informed after I phoned even tho they were requested.“
“This is the ONLY pizza place in town our family can go to regularly! The 3 of us are Gluten Intolerant and the staff takes special care when prepping and cooking our pizzas, such that we've yet to be tainted! They also have specialty sodas...Boylan Black Cherry, Orange Cream, and Root Beer sodas, as well as, Glass Bottled Coca-Cola, "Heche en Mexico", ALL of which have NO HIGH FRUCTOSE and are also Gluten-FreeDietary restrictions: Their Gluten-Free Crust is FRESH and AMAZING!

“I love this cute little donut shop! I stopped by for my first time not too long ago and ordered a latte and a couple of donuts. I can honestly say the vanilla latte was the best latte I’ve ever had. They made that thang with LOVE. Staff is super friendly and very helpful. Didn’t know what donuts to decide on but luckily they had samples and the girl helping me made some suggestions. I settled on a celebration donut and the saigon cinnamon crumb. Holy damn they were soooo good. My son completely annihilated the celebration. The flavor was immaculate with a light and sweet hint of almond. The cinnamon crumb is to die for. It was nice and warm like a hug. So yummy. I will definitely keep coming back.Kid-friendliness: Staff suggested donut that’s popular with the kiddos.“
“Healthy quick food that hit the spot! I enjoyed the sweet potato noodle bowl with the creamy sesame sauce and the Nutella chia pudding. Looking forward to returning to try more! Note: since this is a ghost kitchen it is more of a Togo option.“
“When I can order great food on an app and it's ready on time, I'm a fan! Nekter is centrally located and has convenient parking, so it's fast and easy to pick up my acai bowl when I'm not in the mood to make a full meal on my own. My favorite thus far is the acai mango bowl, but I look forward to trying others.“
“I cool spot to stopby if you're around the area. Totally free to come in and they don't even pester you for donations. I enjoyed the art and learned a bit of history from some of the places in Palos Verdes. It's pretty small but can't complain since it's free. Plenty of parking outside and it was pretty empty when I came on Saturday. Will probably spend about 10-15 minutes.“
“I have been ordering at Umami Express for a while now and it is such a life saver for busy weekdays. I am trying to lose weight and their food is so filling but guilt free - saved me from ordering unhealthy fast food. My fave so far is the chicken bowl, I add chestnuts and cucumbers. The texture is so good and the lemon garlic sauce is good as well. I did try the spicy sauce on time and it is not for me. One improvement I guess I would ask is if there is a way that the calories are stated in the website when I do my online order? I have never been in the restaurant, so I cannot tell for sure if they have it there. With my need to be more calorie conscious that will be a fantastic help. :-)“
“Great food, fast service. The waitress was friendly and they kept our coffee and water filled. The food was fresh although they weee out of asparagus and shrimp for my omelette. I had a vegetable mix that I selected myself. It came out just a few minutes after we ordered. The ham & eggs were great, too. The ham was bone in and thick. This place is a hidden gem.“
