    We really enjoyed our dinner at Current. I absolutely love the vibe. We were able to sit in front of the fireplace, relax, drink, eat, and even play a game. My Waikiki bowl was tasty with greens, quinoa, black beans, squash, avocado, corn, chimichurri, and a light vinaigrette. My partner also enjoyed his BLTA wrap. The coffee and ranch water were good, but my ranch water could have used a lime. My only other thought is that the bowl has all cold ingredients. I'm not sure if it would make sense to have a couple of the items in there warmed up. Maybe, or maybe just make that clear in the description. There also could have been a touch more quinoa. Aside from that, it's a nice place, they have some cool surf stuff in the shop, and we would have gone back today if we weren't heading out!

    Oh, my goodness! What a find. This place has a great upscale beach vibe, perfect for the summer morning or equally great to warm up in the winter with a cup of coffee or tea with their fireplace. The food is amazing, great flavors, amazing taste and that would be both at breakfast and their evening menu. Current is open in the morning with a great selection of food and drinks and then open again in the evening and lunch time with mixed drinks and lunch and dinner choices. The staff is welcoming and provide fast and great customer service. We came here multiple times during different trips to the beach, and this place never disappoints. Keep your eyes open for their cafe sign as if you don't look, you could miss it. Can't wait to come back and enjoy some good coffee and food next time we are in town. Until next time! Cheers!

    Very good nitro cold brew coffee and friendly staff! Very good breakfast a solid selection of breakfast pastries and the quiche was fantastic! Nice seating area for getting your morning started should you be visiting town, definitely recommend!

    Savory waffle. REALLY good, but ours was cold.

    Update: 12/15/24. I'm a Long Beach local, and I want nothing more than to support local businesses, especially in the wicked off season. But after 4 consecutive failures, I need to update my review. I don't know if it's the personnel changes or what, but Current is no longer a 4 (or even 3) star restaurant. And it isn't just a specific time of day during which Current is failing. One evening, we ordered a pepperoni flatbread (burnt) and a Caesar salad to go. The Caesar salad was basically some romaine with a strange dressing, very un-Caesar like. We ended up returning both items. So we tried lunch. We got a salad that didn't include the correct cheese or salami. No explanation until we pointed it out. The next time we tried brunch. The quiche was burnt. We went again for brunch last week - this time the quiche was cold. Even when we asked to have it re-heated, it was cold after one bite. For the longest time, we recommended Current. But no longer. Until they make some changes, Current will get a pass.

    Super cute cafe with tasty food and quick service! Loved the variety they offered with their food options. There was something for everyone!

    Mushroom and onion flatbread with added chicken.

    Definitely different menu than what I expected. But, then I saw who the owners were and that explains it. It's kinda pricey like their other businesses, too. It's got a granola coffee house vibe without the vegan options. I guess putting pepperoni on flatbread was the attempt at pulling in normies? They did put chicken on the mushroom, onion flatbread when I asked, and it was delicious, but $35 for a flatbread and drink wasn't a good value when I can get a large combo pizza just a couple blocks away for less. Some people buy Mercedes while others are ok with buying a Toyota.....

    Milk, quiche, chia tea latte, cornbeef hash, 2 poached eggs ( I added my husband's arugula).
