    German Chocolate Cake (Traditional)
    Cindy O.

    Bake n Broil has some exceptional.baked goods. I pre-ordered a German Chocolate Cake. I love that you can have it the traditional way, without icing on the sides. I have had many cakes before this one over the years,.almost every flavor including this one. They have always been so good and moist! Unfortunately this one was quite dry but the icing was spot on! I woukd still recommend getting this flavor, thi k it was just a one off. I also ordered a cinnamon roll to go. It was so good! As always, service was excellent!

    Red velvet with cream cheese frosting

    I can only speak on the red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Solid 5 stars. Tender crumb, not overly sweet, creamy but dense frosting with little walnut bits for texture. My coworkers rave about the chicken pot pie in spite of it only having a top crust. Put it on the bucket list!

    Love bake n broil always great service great food. Whenever I have a sweet tooth my go to is always bake n broil. I'm a baker of German Chocolate Cake also, when l don't want to bake so happy l can pick up a slice of cake. The slice is so big it lasts me for 2-3 days. Love the decor kinda gives the old coffee shop vibes that's modern for our community to enjoy #supportlocalbusinesses

    All fat and no meat. Disgusting Pastrami Reuben. Don't recommend
    Hun K.

    Service was a lot better today. Came in and this restaurant was busy Monday (non Holiday) around 1:15pm. Busser brought us water. Order was taken efficiently and soups were served in a good timely manner. When I told the server about the issues on the meat. Didn't seemed concern or care. Ambiance was loud as expected. People's voices carrying through dining area. Here is the bad for me. The French onion soup tasted super sour and acidic. Not sure if they use the red wine like traditional French onion soups but super acidic and sour. Didn't like the soup. The worst part was I ordered the Pastrami Reuben and didn't look like any Pastrami Reuben I have ever had. The meat had so much unrendered fat and connective parts of the pork it was completely inedible. Sandwich lacked meat and cross section photo shows. Also very sloppy build for a restaurant of this level. Unfortunately this will be my last time trying this popular location. 2 - service. 0- food quality

    This spot is located right on Atlantic and 37th St. so find parking on the street. First time coming here, one thing to know is that if you're by yourself or with a party of two and you don't mind sitting at the counter, the countertop is first come first serve so you don't have to wait on the waitlist and make the same mistake that I did. At the end of the day, that's exactly where I sat on the countertop realizing it's first come first serve. Our server was great we were immediately greeted. She took our order this place has a lot of bake goods muffins, cinnamon rolls, cake pies you name it. couldn't help it to order the cinnamon roll, which is pretty huge. Unfortunately the cinnamon roll is bland but pretty big good enough to share. What are their protein omelette which comes with a muffin or toast, picked out of toast and this omelette is all egg whites spinach, grilled chicken, breasts, peppers, onions, tomatoes, with cheese also comes with a side of potatoes, my friend, what are their huevos rancheros. I like how their jams are homemade which is pretty nice pretty busy so do you expect the wait time but it kind of goes by quick I highly recommend

    Their parking? Bleh. Their price point? Meh. Their pie crust? Oh hell yeah. Came in with a small group early on a Wednesday afternoon maybe an hour before closing, and most of the tables were still filled with diners. We were seated right away in the way way back of the restaurant. The layout and decor of the place gives it a classic, borderline kitschy vibe. You can tell it's a place that's managed to hold its own for like 60 years (!!!). The server was friendly, overall service was prompt, and the portions were solid. I got the quiche of the day, which was ham and cheese, and it was amazing. It came with a side (salad was fresh and crisp) and a muffin -- their raspberry streusel muffin was so delicious and a perfect dessert to tie the meal together. I would definitely get this special again, and look forward to trying their other versions of both quiches and muffins. Others at my table got strawberry pancakes, a pastrami sandwich, and chicken fried steak. All food was devoured, so I take it that it was good. However, I really think that the baked goods make this place. So if you go, don't skip out on those.

    Omg, i had to wrote another review. Was meeting a friend from out of town coming in from Long Beach Airport. It was the perfect location. We enjoyed a great lunch. The Obion rings had me off a delicate tempura-like batter not the beer batter or breadcrumb fry I'm accustommed to but pretty good. Of course, i had to try the Lush Pie. This was probably the best lemon pie dessert ever! So good, my friend had to order her own dessert. Looks like a popular place with the locals. Service was friendly and attentive. For sure coming back! Street parking.

    Me and my aunt decided to come here after hearing the great reviews on this place on a Friday morning. Parking isnt the best and we had to park down the street and around the corner but we didn't mind the walk. We came around 11 or so we put on name on the list and it took about 20-25 min before we were called back. We for a table right next to the window. Our waitress Juleni was super sweet and helpful ( she even complimented my freckles ). I ordered the chicken pot pie with side salad with Italian dressing and a hot green tea. My aunt ordered the clam chowder and turkey sandwich in squaw bread and a hot green tea also. Our food came out very quickly maybe 5 minutes or so after ordering. We both really enjoyed our meals. I haven't had a chicken pot pie in awhile and it was the perfect crust to filling ratio and very filling. The salad was really good as well. Although the restaurant was packed we didn't feel rushed and were able to catch up and spend time together which we both appreciated

    On a busy Tuesday morning this place was packed. We waited about 10 minutes before we were sat. The servers keep the flow going to avoid long wait times. Upon entering, the first thing you see is the fresh baked pies and cakes...yummy. The portions of the breakfast plates was plenty and delicious. From the chicken fried steak to pork chops and eggs the food was on point. Save room for the sweet stuff. The lemon meringue was amazing. It was served still warm from the oven with delicious flavor. With the small town vibe they make you feel like you're a local. Definitely returning for more on my next trip south.

    Wow... seen this place over the years but never stopped in. Until today..... after my husband's co worker began insisting we give it a try. Omg he has right.... Obsessed...... just left after breakfast and already thinking of when I will be back. Breakfast was amazing desserts here look amazing. I was stuffed and didn't try anything this time. The lines here are out the door. We were lucky and spotted 2 empty chairs at the counter n sat right away. Our server Roger was great. My primary care doctor is close by.... Next week and I will stop by here again :) FIY: ambiance here is tight in case you don't like crowded seating this might not be the right spot for you. (There is outside seating but it was closed today)

    This is an iconic place for anyone who grew up in the LBC. I have been here a few times and every visit, the service and food is amazing. Because it is so popular, it can get busy and since it is a bit small, you may need to wait, but it is well worth the wait. A few of my favorite dishes include the country fried steak, french toast, chicken pot pie, and the homemade pies. There is such a great variety of food that I am sure you will have no problem finding something to your liking. As you sit in the cafe, you can get some free smells of all their homemade pies. My favorite is the peach pie, it is fruity, fresh, flavorful, and pairs well with a scoop of ice cream. If needed, you can always take a pie home if you are too full from your entree. The staff here are so nice and often times, you will find the owners helping out during busy peak days. They are attentive and quick to serve. Every time has been great so I highly recommend if you are looking for some great breakfast or an early lunch. This is a Long Beach staple, so don't miss out!

    I'd been putting off dining in because there always seems to be a line, but I finally made it and wow, I get the hype now. We arrived just a few minutes after opening and it was already filling up. The food is amazing. I ordered the turkey, spinach, and cheese omelet with added mushrooms, and it was perfection. I also shared the banana pancakes with my sister-in-law and stole a few bites of my boyfriend's biscuits and gravy. Every flavor was memorable! And let's not forget the homemade jam. If you have the option to get toast, try the sourdough and absolutely drench it in that jam..trust me. Despite how busy it looked, the service was quick, and the food came out fast. The place seems small when you first walk in, but there's extra seating in the back, so they keep things moving efficiently. Overall, totally worth the wait. I'm already planning my next visit.

    It's like your local spot always a line here. They close early. The vibe is perfect place for a sit down coming home vibe. We came to celebrate my friend's birthday. They have homemade pies here. I had the soup and salad combo with a pie. It was a great deal combo. The chili was very tasty. Hard to find a good chili often times too salty.

    Ask the Community - Jongewaard's Bake n Broil

    Do they have their own parking lot? Or do we do street parking?

    There are a few parking spaces behind the building, but count on parking on the street. We went during the day, and there was adequate parking. I don't what it's like in the evening when residents return home from work.

    Is breakfast served all day?

    Yes, and check their specials.

    What time do they serve lunch?

    I believe the full menubis available all working hours.

    How many can feed if you order their cakes?

    Round Cakes serve 12-15, 1/2 Sheet Cakes serve 24-36.

    Can I make reservations?

    They do not take reservations. But there is also counter seating so you can skip the line. It's first come, first serve so there may be a little wait.

    Is breakfast all day?

    Breakfast is all day, but keep in mind they close early.

    Are they open for dine in dinner?

    yes they are open for dining in I went and ate inside.

    When will they open for dinner?

    I got a frozen chicken pot pie, but there are no directions on how to cook it? Help

    I would cook it for 30 mins in a preheated oven 375-400 depending on your oven. Check with a butter knife to see if it ready to remove from the oven...

    Any idea when you'll be open for dining in?

    They are open now

    Do they take reservations?

    I have been there a few times and they are not fully opened to full capacity yet indoors. Perhaps calling them and perhaps after June 15th. But there is outdoor seating and its really nice weather for it now. Perhaps you may enjoy that. There is… 

    How much is a whole carrot cake?

    30.95

    Are they open during COVID19?

    I believe so. I saw people getting take out when I drove by. Call them.

    Why was the restaurant closed this evening? Drove all the way from south orange county for dinner here. The hours said open until 830.

    I don't know and suppose to be open. Maybe some trouble like black out or fridge was broken etc... sorry but you should try there next time again. It's good place!!!

    I just called to try and place an order to pick up a cake for 12/22. The lady informed me the last day is the 21st. But then online it says we can place an order online for orders the week of Christmas? I'm confused

    They are sold out for cakes for Christmas week, per their website.

    Is it too late to place an order for pick-up next week Wednesday or Thursday?

    No it’s not, you can order holidays pies on our website, thebakenbroil.com

    Hi is there another phone number I can call, number provided is disconnected?

    sometimes they are really busy and you will get that recording especially during the lunch hour

Nonna has become our go to bakery, our sweet retreat, and one of our favorite local brunch spots. Now, they even have happy hour and, during the summer, dinner (Nonna Summer Nights)! And all of the food is amazing. Seriously, truly legit! We buy bread from there each week. No more "big box store" bread you freeze. They make their bread fresh daily. They only use fresh, locally sourced ingredients with no preservatives. It's nice to look at an ingredient list and not see a paragraph for bread (and be able to pronounce all the names!). And their cupcakes and sweets. Yo, seriously so good. And the thing is, because of the ingredients they use, we don't feel heavy or overly wired after eating cake or cupcakes from them. From other places you can tell they use preservatives, refined sugars, processed ingredients. But with Nonna, you can just taste the difference. We even had them make our special cake for our wedding! We recently tried their dinner (twice!) and it exceeded expectations. Now, mind you, all of their food has always been good but our experience was amazing. Their prix fixe menu was well put together, wine pairings on point, dessert was also delicious. Our favorite was the tiramisu! Also loved the spaghattini and casarecce pastas, and entrecôte di manzo, but everything was great. Their brunch is also great, you really can't go wrong on the menu. And I think we've gone through almost all of it! Finally, (if you've stayed with me this long!) the absolute best thing about Nonna for us is the TEAM. Hands down no question. The food is good, space is a comfortable neighborhood vibe, and all that. But truly the folks here are amazing humans. Always friendly, warm, and welcoming. If the management team is reading this, you all have a great group of people there! We will definitely be back (again and again and again) and you should too!

    Baked eggs are delicious! It's like a shashuka style egg dish baked in a clay pot. Comes with two…read moresmall slices of bread. My qualm about Nonna's is this: Baked goods already purchased cannot be eaten at dining table. So with that said, you're eating Baked Eggs with 2 small slices of bread that is not enough...and they will not let you grab a piece of bread you just bought at their bakery to dip into the egg sauce. WTH is that logic???? Honestly, not cool. And their bread is HELLA EXPENSIVE. If I'm going to buy your expensive bread and pay to sit at your table, WHY CANT I EAT THE BREAD I JUST BOUGHT? Makes no sense!! So now I make my own Baked Eggs and my own bread. I can eat as much as I want. 4/5 for Baked Eggs 1/5 for their bakery policy

Service was great, such a sweet young lady that helped us. Here's my review on each item: Dubai Cheesecake - pretty presentation. It was good for the most part but I think I expected more. I personally wouldn't order again. Chocolate chip cookie - very good cookie. The right amount of chocolate chips and it was really soft which I enjoy my cookies soft. I would order another. German Chocolate cake - oh my god!!! That was one of the best German chocolate cakes I've ever had. I enjoyed how moist the cake was and the nutty texture on top was next level. I would definitely order another slice. The Cinnamon roll - this was my favorite thing we ordered. This cinnamon roll was to die for! Pillowy soft and the right amount of sweetness. The roll was so good with the nuts alone that I didn't even need or use the icing we asked for on the side. This was such a delight.

The decor is cozy and chic, and I like that they kept it spacious instead of cramming a ton of tables and chairs in. I especially loved the little table lamps! Our server was very nice and helpful when we had questions. Caesar salad: I LOVED this. Perfect balance of flavors with perfect crunch. Word of warning is that it is anchovy heavy (including anchovy filets on top), so if you like to pretend the anchovy aspect of Caesar salads doesn't exist, this might not be for you! Roasted chicken: Loved the crunch on this too, and the salad and polenta were nice additions. I think the polenta was my favorite part of this dish lol. Kale pistou pizza (asked for no onions): My least favorite dish. We didn't realize it was vegan but as someone who generally likes vegan food, it just lacked flavor and felt very dry overall. The sourdough crust was good, at least. Peach mess dessert: Omg, the star of the show! Such an amazing dessert top to bottom, I loved the mix of textures and flavors. I could eat this every day! I probably would've given this 4 stars due to the pizza being that bland, but the dessert really elevated this whole meal. Can't wait to see all their different menus throughout the seasons! I hope they add a happy hour soon and I hope to see the return of their patio at some point!

    Lovely brunch at the newly opened cafe portion of Colossus bakery…read more Stopped by the bakery first to grab their Cardamom roll. Which was delicious very "cardamomy" flavored, crispy layers. Dusted with Swiss pearl sugar. Just really yummy. Saw the almond croissant. Said oh will stop again on our way out. BIG mistake. Of course they were gone by then. Opted for the sticky toffee bun. She recommended warming before eating. What a nice little treat to share with my husband after dinner! Back to the cafe. Newly added as an adjoining space was vacated next to the bakery. Industrial modern interior. Spacious with 20(?) tables. Partners opted for the 2 egg breakfast. Eggs cooked perfectly as ordered. One ordered an omelet. Beautifully made. Would make Jacques Pepin or Thomas Keller proud. Thick sliced bacon. Thick sliced multigrain toast. Small side of spring mix salad adorned with watermelon radish. Very nice entree if you're an egg lover. Shared the French fries. They're like the ones my grandma made. Thick sliced potatoes deep fried. Crispy outside. Soft inside. Brings back pleasant memories. Get these if you're a French fry fan. The mushroom dip (think French dip with variety of sautéed mushroom in lieu of beef) was GREAT! Mushroom not overcooked, Muenster cheese draped atop. Crusty baguette bread. Although the dipping sauce was vegan based, the roasted mushroom base added enough umami for a deeply flavored dip. My only complaint was the clusters of oyster mushrooms were laid horizontally following the length of baguette. Which presents well but was a bit challenging to bite through. I dunno, maybe my teeth aren't sharp. Overall an outstanding dish. So my dilemma now is when to return to try the other menu items which didn't make my first cut. Parking is....well ya know...it's 2nd St. So the driver needs to be a good parallel parker. Cute shoes optional but be prepared to walk.

    My recent visit was great! I happened to pass by OBRA Bakery on my way to Barnes & Noble and…read morespontaneously stopped by for a beef potato ball. I ended up ordering two potato balls, one for me and one for my boyfriend and asked them to package them separately. Each one came with their green sauce and aioli. I poured both sauces on top of the potato ball and the flavors blended really well together. The potato ball was savory and delicious! Customer service was also great. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Next time I will try the chicken potato ball.

    This bakery was recommended to me by a friend, and I'm so glad she did! OBRA is a Latin American…read morebakery that serves sandwiches, pastries, desserts, and more. They have two locations, one in Long Beach and one in Santa Ana. Their Long Beach location is located in a shopping plaza, and I didn't have any trouble finding parking. They had lots of different items in their bakery case to choose from! We had to get their OBRA Balls, which come with beef or chicken. Their OBRA Beef Ball has ground beef and mozzarella surrounded by mashed potato and deep fried. It was cheesier than I expected! The OBRA Chicken Ball is a more of a cone shape and has shredded chicken, aji amarillo sauce, and cheese surrounded by mashed potato and deep fried. Both were tasty! They serve it with a side of their spicy mayo and green salsa for dipping. They're known for their empanadas, so we had to try some of these too! We got a Baked Chicken, Chicken Curry, Beef, and Ropa Vieja. Their Beef and Chicken are some of their most popular. The Beef Emapanda has spicy ground beef, onions, and potatoes, and their Chicken Empanada has shredded chicken, mild spicy creamy yellow chili sauce, onions, potatoes, and mozzarella cheese. The Chicken Curry is one of their newer empanadas and has diced chicken thighs cooked in mild spicy curry and coconut milk, steamed rice, bell peppers, onions, and cilantro. But my favorite was the Ropa Vieja! It has tasty shredded beef, onions, bell peppers, tomato, garlic, seasonings, and cilantro. The meat is so tender and juicy! For desserts, we got a Cocada and a Peach and Dulce de Leche Turnover. The Cocada is their coconut macaroon made with shredded coconut, covered with chocolate. It is massive! Very moist on the inside. I'll be back to try their sandwiches and get some more OBRA balls!
