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.

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.

We stumbled across Knead Donuts while we were in the area and decided to give it a try. So glad we…read moredid because this place is truly a hidden gem! We tried the Peach Cobbler, Banana Pudding, and Lemon Poppy donuts, and all three were excellent. The donuts were soft and fresh, the toppings were generous, and each flavor actually tasted like what it was supposed to be. The Peach Cobbler was probably my favorite -- warm cobbler flavors with plenty of peach topping. The Banana Pudding was creamy without being overly sweet, and the Lemon Poppy had a really nice lemon flavor. I also ordered the Zombie Coffee with banana cream. If you like your coffee STRONG, this is the one! The banana cream added a nice sweetness and flavor without taking away from the coffee. What really impressed me was the selection. We didn't get there until around 2 PM, and they still had a large variety of donuts that looked fresh. A lot of donut shops are pretty picked over by the afternoon, so that was a huge plus. Service was excellent. Everyone was very nice, welcoming, and helpful while we were deciding what to order. One thing to know: there is no restroom available, so keep that in mind if you're planning to sit and enjoy your donuts and coffee. Great flavors, fresh donuts, strong coffee, friendly service, and plenty to choose from even later in the day. We found this place completely by accident, but we will definitely be back!

Food I've been to arize bistro a couple of times and I have…read moreto say that I've been hooked by their food, which is a good mix of brunch with asian flavors. First off, the reason I wanted to try this place was the mango Sticky rice pancakes. The pancakes themselves were made well, nice and fluffy, the flavor was pretty good and loved the addition of all the mango that added to the freshness of it. It's a bit on the sweeter side though, so I would be wary of that. Another time I came I ordered the thai tea pancakes, which I wasn't too much a fan of. Still loved the pancakes themselves, but I found the overall dish a bit too sweet and the addition of the boba I think doesn't fit well with the pancake. I also ordered an omelette and definitely loved their omelette, as it's a big serving and just the right amount of saltiness to balance their sweet dishes. Service/Ambiance Arize Bistro is a self order place wherein you order from a counter and find a table. The staff that work there are nice and I love the small local restaurant vibe it has, as it gives a hidden gem type feel. Service is relatively quick and this would definitely not be the last time I come back

"Hey Brother baker" is a great local Artisan Bakery on Anaheim street in the Zaferia neighborhood…read moreof Long Beach. There is street parking out front and on the adjacent streets. Although they've been around at this location for about a year now. I only recently discovered them. According to their instagram page, You can also find them at various Farmers Markets. Tuesday: Bixby Park 3-7pm Wednesday: Whittier 4:30-8:30pm Thursday: 4th St 8am-noon and Bixby Knolls: 3-7pm Saturday: Cerritos 8am-noon. According to Google, They are known for their high Hydration Artisanal Sourdough loaves, french baguettes, cloud shaped brioche, corn cookies, savory pastries and much more. They also have a coffee Menu (see photos for full menu) and a refrigerator with grab and go beverages. The interior of the bakery is basic as it should be, with concrete floors, one corner with a cozy seating area and the rest of the space has a long wrap around counter with high chairs, against a floor to ceiling window looking out on Anaheim st. What is most noticeable dough, (no pun intended) :) is the large counter with all the delicious looking daily breads and various items on display. Right behind that is a tall rack with all the fresh baked goods and further in the background is the Kitchen with all the bakers intensely working on their craft. I Loved the Art on the wall. I've been wanting to try this bakery specifically for one of my favorite french pastries. The "Pain au Chocolat". I went in once before but it was late in the day and they were all out of it. I contacted them on a second occasion, a little earlier in the day via instagram but they were also out. So, today, i went in around 10am (still not early) but i finally got lucky and found 2 Pain au chocolat. It is also the first bakery that i find that actually calls it what it is instead of dumbing it down to a Chocolate croissant. "Thank you for this". I can truly appreciate that. The crust was flaky and the dough on the inside was soft. There was a healthy strip of chocolate. Although it was not warm out of the oven, It was really good. I also got an Iced Orange mocha with Oat milk. It was a little too sweet but i still enjoyed it. The 2 pain au chocolat and the roughly 12 ounce iced Orange Mocha came out to $20. Everyone is really friendly. Next time, I am looking forward to trying some of their loaves and other pastries. And I'll be sure to get there at 7am when they open.

Never been here, heard about the Cuban sandwich and wanted to try it…read more I was on my way out of Long Beach in the morning and wanted to call to see if they served it at that time. I searched high and low on the Internet for a phone number and could not find one. So I drove there hoping for the best. Unfortunately, upon arriving, they told me they did not serve it until 10 AM. Mind you, it was 9:40 AM. I asked why they didn't have a phone number because I wanted to call to inquire, so as not to go out of my way and waste my time. I was told they just didn't have one. The girl at the counter apologized and informed me they served the sandwich starting at 10 AM. It seems that they could've easily just said, no worries we'll make your sandwich, it's almost 10 AM. Is there some sort of cosmic force preventing them from making a sandwich at 9:40 AM? To the business owner, Customer Service matters. It matters a lot.

Upon entering, the two women in the donut shop were so helpful and happy that we were there to eat and kill some time. They definitely made our first visit special and gave us some tips on how to order our coffees since we didn't want to be wired. I ordered a ham and cheese breakfast croissant, and it was yummy. Not flaky, which made it even better. I also ordered a regular vanilla traditional Vietnamese coffee. It was perfect and not too strong. Also, the vanilla flavoring was subtle and not over the top. I also got a side of a strawberry shortcake donut, which was yummy but a bit sweet. Overall, great donut shop, clean, and great service. We will def be back!

They use a perfectly cooked over-medium egg, quality bacon, tater tots fried in wagyu tallow, and bacon jam, that's wrapped up in a delicious flour tortilla from Michelin-recommended Burritos La Palma. If you want a high-quality breakfast burrito, then high-quality ingredients are a great start. Their smoky salsa brings the flavors over the top. While some may blink at the cost of the $19 breakfast burrito, I firmly believe the cost is justified with the ingredients they use and the flavors that are put out. I encourage you to try it for yourself, particularly if you appreciate quality and if you're looking for the best. I appreciate their coffee from "Go Get 'Em Tiger". If you enjoy their food, their pizza, available next door at Pizza Parlor, is also pretty great.

We sat down and quickly got our orders out. I went with the Fiesta Scramble, while others at the table had items like breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and country style platters. The Fiesta Scramble was delicious, combining bell peppers, tomatoes, meat, and eggs which created a savory and flavor-packed bite. In my opinion, the particular serving seemed smaller portion-wise compared to other items on the menu. My choices of sides included spinach and a plate of hash, while the inclusion of some fruit felt kind of like an afterthought. All in all, egg heaven is a place on Earth, and it's worth a visit.
