I'm not sure what recently happened but the menu was updated and to be quite honest it wasn't for the best. The prices also seemed to have increased significantly. Also, the food quality seemed to have decreased. The omelettes used to be good but now they are just drowned with cheese. I used to love coming here with my wife but I think it's time to find a new mom/pops restaurant. The jellies and salsas are gone too... that was definitely something that had us going back. read more

This restaurant was good, 4 out of 5. it is not the old Egg Heaven. They should change the name because it is nothing like the old neighborhood restaurant as previous reviews have stated. Change is OK, but the new owners are trying to upscale the interior and it's not working. They have put table cloths on the tables, which does not work on booths from the 1950s. The table cloths are under glass but too long and are hanging in your lap. You can see the remains of what previous customers have eaten by the stains. Dump the table cloths. Nothing is on the table. Gone are sugar, ketchup, salt, pepper, jellies, even extra napkins are missing. This makes it harder on the one server to bring them to the table when needed. Again, this review is mainly based on the food and service. Gone are the Fiesta scramble, spruce goose and my favorite the Ximeno, but I had the breakfast burrito and it was very good. The service was also very good. 1980s owner Cha Cha would not recognize this place but that's ok. read more

The food was great, the service was very fast.The cafe is very clean and we loved the atmosphere.

The recent changes caught us totally off guard. This was such a great "locals" restaurant with amazing service. All of our beloved staff was gone, the menu has been completely changed and prices are insane ($18 for a 2-egg combo). This is a corner cafe, not a Beverly Hills bistro. We didn't have anything to eat here after looking at the menu so I can't comment on the food. I just know that the vibe is gone and we were very sad to know one of our favorite places is gone. We got up and walked to our other favorite spot a few blocks away and had a great breakfast at a reasonable price. It should speak volumes to the ownership that the place was empty on a Sunday at noon. There was always a line to get in that we didn't mind at all because we knew it was worth it. read more

Okay okay here we are My every other day breakfast spot this little joint All I can say has the best people that you'll ever meet on the planet that'll serve you with no prejudice whatsoever everyone welcome their chile verde omelette I was lucky enough to try it the other day they're two for two for two and so on breakfast price well by the way is phenomenal you just can't go wrong with that great little breakfast they're bacon and egg sandwiches phenomenal and I have to hand it to the two best gals that I think in the restaurant world are number one and my hat goes off to Maggie and Gabby they are the best for me they make me feel welcome like I'm family I get my opportunities like today for instance I sat down and I had breakfast with both of them on two separate occasions so thank you Gabby thank you Maggie and to the guys in the back who do a great job look forward to more time spent at the restaurant they have plenty of specials I highly recommend this little spot to everyone read more

Grand reopening sign out front. I'd been going there since the 90's. (But hadn't in several years). Everything I remembered. Generous portions on Hobo Omelette . Similar hole in the wall comforting ambiance. Service was prompt. Refills for Coffee were regular. Will definitely return. read more

Might as well change the name at this point - can't really claim that this is the same restaurant that's been here since the 70s. Feel free to try it for yourself - but the new price points are just too much for me - especially considering this is less than 5 mins from two considerably better value/quality breakfast spots (local spot & coffee cup) read more

The food was good, and the service was even better. I hope that this place stays for a while.... read more

Saw the OPEN sign and I got so excited that they were open again! I love the food and the service here. Their omelettes are my favorite and I wasn't disappointed! I am so happy I have a stop for breakfast again. read more

Great food and service. It's just not the same though, the whole vibe is gone. Ergo only 4 stars. I really missed the music today, because it was almost disco! It's like it was Pandora smooth 70's or something. It's always been more than just classic rock, it was the old ballads and James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and Simon and Garfunkle, and............ I don't consider that classic rock. But that is one of the reasons I've always liked it there. And the ceiling art is gone! I know the current folks (the old folks) didn't have anything to do with that, and I heard they're trying to redo it in some kind of meaningful way, so I'll keep going until I have to listen to the music I had to listen to today again. This might seem trivial to some folks, but to me it's not. I love music, and I've been going to Egg Heaven since I was a kid in the early 70's. It's always been classic Long Beach at its best. Even if it stays just the way it was today, I hope the business gets back to the levels of yesteryear. Joe read more

Great breakfast food!!!!! Eat here often. Def busy busy on weekends so plan accordingly because the joint is pretty tiny. But the food is bomb ;) read more

After my horrible diner experience in Palmdale at Karen's Kitchen this was light years better. I give this place 5 out of 5 " Flo's". Great food , really great, fantastic music and not too loud , attentive and generous waitress making it a perfect atmosphere for a diner. I will be back when in the area. read more

First time here and it was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, not too pricey, the servers were kind and the place had a nice vibe. Also, a kind person even paid foe our meal anonymously! So, we passed on the same gesture. What a wonderful place. Definitely will go back. Parking is not easy but worth it. read more

Just your solid Breakfast house in the local neighborhood. Great staff and great food!! I especially like the clean bathroom in the kitchen with its high cealings to mask my big dumps I usually take when I come here after a heavy night of drinking! Big generous portions of food...not poop. Luv you guys!! read more

Yummy food with at very reasonable prices. This restaurant fosters a very friendly and welcoming ambiance. Jay served us with a smile and made conversation with us outside of the food. There is a lot of history on inside of this restaurant (a ton of artwork!) Definitely will be back! read more

A special place that hardly exists anymore. Cozy, friendly, not 'decorated' and good food. Go have breakfast rea

First time here and the food and service was amazing. It's also adorable inside and has a really cool old-timey feel. I'll be back!

I visited Egg Heaven for the first time. What a delight! It's a small, cozy breakfast spot in Long Beach. The service was friendly and efficient. I had the oatmeal with walnuts and blueberries--delicious--with just enough vanilla and cinnamon to sweeten, but not overpower. And the prices were great. read more

Boyfriend and I came here about a week ago after reading a couple inspiring articles about how important and nostalgic this local diner was to everyone in the LB community. Although we had never tried this place before it closed, we were happy to support a local institution especially when it was brought back with such passion and love. Food- we ordered the Mexican and the Monterey omelettes. Both very tasty and solid but the Mexican flavors were much more savory and loved the spice! Looking forward to trying the chilaquiles next time for that same flavor profile. Service- smiley waitress and staff all around! You can tell they really care about every person they serve here, laughing with the regulars but not neglecting us newbies either! Very attentive and authentic care, never an empty coffee cup or a need unmet. Ambiance- cozy vibes from the moment we walked in all the way out the door. The sunshine through the windows, the cheery old school decor, the smiles all around- feels like a happy home. read more

My new breakfast spot in LB!!! Heuvos rancheros served with potatoes and tortillas was just lovely. Gaby was very attentive and pleasant. Dining area and restroom was extremely clean. Just a great place to relax and have a good meal. Great ambience. read more

Food is always delicious and service is always great. Gaby is so friendly and attentive!

Just went here for breakfast on Mom's day 2024 & it was delicious....been going here since the 70's...but haven't been for too long. Excellent food, great service...awesome music...little complimentary cupcakes for all moms. It's old school...with nice atmosphere and just refreshing to go to a place these days that when you leave...the tummy is full & your face is smiling. I recommend the Wanderlust with the Super Browns..B-Berry P-Cakes & Frenchie Toast...this is G-Man read more

Love this hole in the wall place. The home potatoes are solid, the eggs done to perfection.

Good food, the inside was nice and tidy. Food came out quick and our waitress was very kind !!

Egg Heaven Café has been around for a long time and just looks like another greasy spoon dinner, so I was surprised when they had a very good selection of vegetarian dishes and many other more healthy choices. But alas today was not a healthy choice day for me, I had their Hobo Omelet, under the heading of Heavenly Omelettes and indeed it was heavily. I was a satisfied Hobo at the end of the meal. Next time? Healthy healthy health - I promise! read more

We've been coming to Egg Heaven since before our first kid was born, when we lived down the street . Now our kids are 9 and 6, we live across town, and we still make the drive out. The food is delicious, and the service is amazing. My favorite is the Huevos Rancheros, but everything here is good. read more

We are locals but first time here. My avocado toast was perfect! Service was excellent. Great sound track in background. Nice relaxing breakfast. My husband enjoyed his fluffy pancakes and we both liked the coffee. read more

Food is delicious, fast service, great ambiance, friendly people, hablan español. Please come and try!

Classic just like I remember from back I the day .... Classic rock , great food good service

Total dive (I'm saying that as a plus) and love the food. :-) Last Saturday we wanted breakfast. I had seen Schooner or Later on Guy's Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives and was curious about that place. My cousin said we could drive by but it'd probably be insanely busy. We stopped by and it did look cool with people drinking champagne but with an hour and a half wait, we went for Egg Heaven which my cousin wanted to go to to begin with. I really liked it. No wait when we got there and eclectic atmosphere: a regular fridge, random collages of cut out magazine photos, real green chalk board for the specials, vinyl looking booths, loud popular radio music playing, etc. I got the country breakfast which was corned beef hash topped with poached eggs and gravy. I didn't like the gravy--was like butter with starch--but I did like the rest of it. The poached eggs balanced out all of the rich fried taste of the corned beef hash. It cracks me up that it came with hash browns as well, as hash is in the corned beef hash. ;-) My husband got the hash browns with lots of cheese and steak. Big honking pile of potatoes and stuff on top. My cousin liked her corn beef hash omelet: a thin crepe like omelet stuffed with the good stuff. I would definitely go back: no hassle, chill atmosphere, good greasy spoon food. read more

Egg Heaven Cafe - I love it - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Egg Heaven Café (Long Beach, CA) Egg Heaven Café is one of those places that I found on accident. Well, maybe it's wasn't on accident. My driver intentionally brought me here. I have recently cut down my egg consumption from 10 eggs per day to about 3 eggs per week. Let's just say that I miss me some eggs. I was heading straight to my meeting when that egg craving hit. I asked my driver if she knew a good place for breakfast and it needed to be place located on the way to downtown Long Beach. Her first couple of options was IHop and Denny's. I declined both and told her to take me somewhere local. I also told her that I wanted to be in egg heaven. So naturally, she brought me here to Egg Heaven Café. She took me literally. Good thing I didn't tell her that I was so hungry that I can eat a horse. I walked inside and immediately noticed that this restaurant is small, older, and almost empty. I also noticed the sign...Cash Only. Oh no! Who carries cash on them anymore? I had only $23 in cash, which was enough for me to get a cup of coffee, a few eggs, hash browns, a hamburger patty, 4 slices of bacon, some toast, and tip my server. Everything was exceptional, including the service. It also helps that there was only two other guest dining here at the same time. My entire meal was hooked up, especially the hash browns. Everything I had was good. I left stuffed and can honestly say that I've been to egg heaven. read more

Delicious. Clean. Reasonably priced.(And I'm talking about you 2-2-2 @ $12.22. Two pancakes, eggs, bacon or sausage.)

I absolutely love this breakfast joint in Long Beach. Esperanza is so kind, welcoming, and patient, as is the rest of the staff. I get the chillaquilles with green salsa - my favorite chillaquilles in town. The coffee is also delicious. 5 out of 5! Highly recommend to everyone! read more

The food is really good! I love it Huevos Rancheros are delicious! One of my favorite places since 1997

I have been to this breakfast spot on 4th St in Long Beach. The food presentation was not visually impactful but the food was really good. This place offers your typical breakfast favorites. Ambience was just what you expect from a breakfast dinner experience. read more

It's Back!! Come try Egg Heaven again. All the old favorites are back and made by the Chef from the old days. Even the "Oldies but Goodies" music is playing n the background. Let's keep Egg Heaven from closing its doors! read more

We were seated immediately in a comfy booth -- there are also tables and a counter available. This place is cute and the service was terrific. The food was excellent-- we will return! read more
