I've been on the hunt for the best cinnamon roll in LA and this one came up on my list of places to…read moretry. I got a regular original cinnamon roll so I can really taste it, and it did not disappoint. It was sooooooo good! People said sweet Jill's down the street was the best and it wasn't even good at all. This place deserves the vote for best in Long Beach because it was really good. The staff was helpful explaining the best sellers and I honestly wanted 1 of each! Metered parking can be hard to find.

Overall it was a pretty good cinnamon roll, could have had a little more cinnamon flavor to it for…read moremy preference. I think next till I'll ask for the cream cheese frosting as apposed to the original which was very creamy and buttery. Good variety of options between cinnamon rolls and cookie dough and lots of customisation options for everything. There are a few tables inside to sit and enjoy your roll but I think these work best eating while on your couch watching a movie. Service was friendly enough for my preference.

V Cafe is my favorite when I am visiting the salon two doors down. The owner is amazing and she…read moremakes everything from scratch. She also delivers to the other storefronts (her neighbors). I was first introduced to the café when I wanted a drink. The butterfly lemonade is the perfect thirst quencher. The lemonade is freshly squeezed from the lemon in the refrigerator case. You see her grab the lemon and hand juice it. The butterfly tea is then freshly brewed and added at the top giving you a drink with blue on top and lemon color on the bottom. The magic is when you mix it. Try it! When I had more time, I tried the beet salad. Its made to order. Fresh everything, crisp salad, candied walnuts, feta sprinkled on top, and the perfect raspberry vinaigrette to finish it off. It comes with toasted bread that gives you just enough carbs to round out the salad. The mushroom melt is packed with mushrooms and I always ask for havarti as its my favorite. She is flexible when she is able to (ingredient availability or pre-prepped). But it is no small sandwich. I usually get the soup and sandwich. I have tried the tomato, mushroom, and lentil soups. All very filling and compliments the sandwich. Mushroom soup is seasonal so when you see it, try it. It is amazing. The impossible Caesar salad is made so fresh as if it is straight from the farm. The café also serves coffee items. Be sure you head over early though. It closes right when late lunch turns to early dinner or if she is out of main ingredients.

This cafe looked very promising after looking at the pictures and that's where I went wrong…read more Don't get me wrong, it's cute inside but that's about it. I ordered the cortado which was a decent drink and I thought I was going to get it in a dine in cup like the pictures but no. So onto to the sandwich I ordered which was the Mushroom Melt and it did deliver with cheese but it looked like they threw in a couple or so of mushrooms and called it a day. The service felt like I was a bother to them or her I should say. It rattles me when the person taking your order is fidgety and looks like she had better things to do. Maybe the college students that come don't mind but I definitely do. I'm really surprised they're still in business. And that's my take on this failed adventure, Peace out...

I finally decided to try Ground Hideout Coffee and will definitely be back!…read more The aesthetic is super cute and cozy with lots of natural light, plants, and comfortable seating. I placed a pickup order and it was ready in about 15 minutes. I stopped by around 1 PM, which seemed to be one of their busiest times. The employees looked super busy, and they may have been a little understaffed, but everyone was still friendly, calm, and professional. My food was ready first and the drinks came shortly after. Both the food and coffee were a solid 9/10 -- everything tasted fresh and delicious. It was definitely worth the wait. The only thing to keep in mind is parking. It appears to be mostly metered street parking, and I got lucky because the meter I parked at still had time left on it. Overall, great coffee, great food, and a really cute atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! (p.s I got Cookie Butter Latte, Carrot Cake Latte, Sunrise Sandwich, Almond Butter Toast, Caprese Melt)

Absolutely love Cassidy's! My only complaint is how expensive it is!…read more I always order the Joe with bacon on the Asiago bagel, sub green onion cc & add red onion & it's so good! I tried their famous 421 iced coffee, but you can tell it's just iced coffee with a coffee mate creamer. So it's pretty sweet if you're into that. They are a bit on the pricier side, especially if you're ordering online for pickup since it's only from Doordash. The Joe will run me about $12-13 since I add red onion and sub the green onion cream cheese (which i don't feel like should be an additional charge but ‍) The coffee is about $9 on there as well, which for an iced coffee with coffee mate creamer, that is pretty steep. Other than that, if pricing were lower, i'd give it 5 stars. I just feel like pricing isn't justified but that could just be me! The flavor is there though for the bagels!

The inside is super spacious and plenty of space to sit that's super comfy! One of my regular hangouts purely for the vibes since the drinks are a little lacking. The staff is always attentive and bring you everything super fast even when it's a busy house. I've tried various coffee and matcha and it's never strong or flavorful. Watered down comes to mind. The seasonal drinks always leave you wishing for more. Pistachio matcha -- didn't taste like much. The matcha itself isn't very strong and doesn't have any pistachio flavor.
