    Turkey Pesto Panini
    Dan Karen D.

    We had a lovely visit at the Kraken cafe. The owner was so kind and inviting. I had a Chai Latte with a Turkey Pesto Panini and hubby had coffee cake with drip coffee. We didn't take the opportunity to explore the craft room but others were having a great time. She had lots of crafts available for sale as well.

    Cool retro vibe. Ice cream, shakes, espresso, red bull drinks, and Italian sodas. There is also a craft area where you can pick a piece and paint it.

    Great place, very nice staff, really good ice cream, and a tiny little dog named Martini.

    My coworker and I sneak over there during our shift and grab a snack or shakes for us. Mandy is awesome!

The rooms range from a bit small to generous, each has a bathroom and comfortable beds. Downstairs is a large kitchen and dining area, with a refrigerator and everything you could need to make a meal. There are also some basic foodstuffs as well as chocolates and a bottle of red wine for the guests. The proprietors are enthusiastic and very helpful. They were evern fine with me playing my guitar in the former chapel space! We spent years coming to the Long Beach penninsula and have stayed at many places. No, this is not a bed and breakfast, but very resonable and perfect for anyone who wants to bring their own food and cook it up in a very nice facility. This is now our first choice. Highly recommended for a couple or a large group.

    It has all the trappings of a BnB but without the second B. And for the price, guests should be…read moregetting breakfast. Apart from that, the staff is very nice and the location is great if you are planning a beach vacation in Long Beach. The accommodations are nice with a beach house motif, spacious living room for relaxing outside of your room, and it is generally clean. The room and bathroom are a bit small, but comfortable. Also note that guests must check in by a certain time, which was very inconvenient for me but I made it work. If you're planning on arriving late, you might want to reconsider.

Crispy, flaky, fresh, and absolutely delicious! My only request is a few more fries because they disappeared faster than my willpower around good seafood. Coleslaw: Let's just say... it had seen some things. The cabbage had already started making its own juice and seemed one step away from becoming sauerkraut. Definitely not my cup of tea. Tartar sauce: Good! No complaints. It quietly did its job. Service: 5/5. The staff were amazing! Super friendly, welcoming, and the food arrived incredibly fast. They definitely earned top marks. Ambiance: 5/5. It had the charm of a classic fishing shack, packed with fun nautical decorations and quirky touches. It felt authentic, relaxed, and like the kind of place where fish stories get bigger with every visit. Overall, I'd happily come back for the halibut, the fantastic service, and the fun atmosphere.

    First off, I'm biased: I don't expect "amazing" from railroad-inspired diners.......this place…read moreproves how shortsighted that actually is. I stopped in hoping for reasonably priced fried seafood.....the Loose Caboose stopped me in my tracks! The service was attentive and really efficient, the ambiance is artfully decorated dollar bills stuck in between railroad and coastal memorabilia......it's an eclectic mix for ambiance. But: I just had probably the best clam chowder I've ever had. More clams, big chunks of clams, than potatoes......and somehow even tender, yet still identifiable celery? For real, I'd eat a gallon of that chowder. I almost took some to go. Fortunately, I went a bit jiggy with my fried prawns.....and got the 10pc! Like the chowder, the prawns were beyond excellent. Lightly breaded, tempura, almost. The breading actually had body and flavor....it isn't window dressing! And the prawns were very big, very juicy, and absolutely the perfect level of done.......a revelation among prawns, for sure! The sauces didn't taste like they came off the food service truck either. Both the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce were exemplary. The added coleslaw was bright and crisp with just a hint of malt vinegar.....a perfect dressing! I stopped in for just "some food"......what I got was a delightful experience. I'll absolutely be back!
