I've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance on Saturday. We were sat immediately and looked over the menu. Our server Ray was amazing. My coffee was brought to me along with some fresh hot conchas.I opted for the original breakfast but subbed hashbrowns instead of eggs. The all you can eat pancakes really tempted me, but since I can't eat that much what I ordered was perfect. Our server was very friendly and checked on us throughout our meal. My coffee cup was never empty. I will definitely return. They have so many different things I want to try. They have something on the menu for everyone. read more

Oh my, the food was incredible here! The veggie omelet was incredibly filling and delicious. We got complimentary conchas, which were also very good. They have a lot of the typical diner options, like pancake combos and burgers. But they also have Mexican food and omelette sandwiches. I tried a bit of the French vanilla hot coco as well, very sweet but also very delicious :). Our server was amazing, and we loved the atmosphere! Overall a good experience and definitely recommend. read more

Was finally able to stop in to the Loaded Cafe - Long Beach on a Friday morning for breakfast. It was decently good, with the food taste/quality being mixed, but having great service with solid value on some items. Loaded Cafe (and its sister bakery Panecito) has over 10 locations around Los Angeles and Orange County. It's a breakfast and brunch spot, mixing classic diner food with Mexican favorites. This location is the original, opened in 2012 in what used to be an IHOP. It is known for serving fresh conchas as a complementary starter (rather than chips n salsa). They frequently have credit card offers, giving back a percentage if activated. In our case, it turned out to be via Citi for 5% back (on top of the normal percentage for dining). My wife and I had stopped into this location previously last year, but found the lines and parking to be very full due to its popularity, letting us choose a different place. So this time, when we found we had an early errand to run on a Friday, we stopped by around 8am (around an hour after opening). This time parking was easy, and we were seated in a window booth. Only one server was working the front, so assuming that this was normal busyness. She did mention that the previous day (New Years Day) had been extremely busy. I was just grateful that there was no wait. Our server, Martha, was communicative throughout, apologizing for some delays (which we felt was normal considering her responsibilities). She brought us the 3 rolls, each served warm and frosted with a sugary spread. They were very good. My mother-in-law got the 2 Stack Buttermilk Pancakes ($4.99), which she really liked. One can get the AYCE deal for $5.99, but 2 was plenty for her. She also got tea, which was some hot water in a cup with a Lipton tea bag...was surprised how much that was ($4.29). My wife got Mini Crepe Combo ($12.99), which came with two eggs and a side of bacon. The crepes were OK, and the bacon was the cheap variety (very thin, would be OK with a burger or in a buffet). The eggs were ordered scrambled hard. Since I was the one who wanted to come here, I wanted something that was different from a typical diner experience but still breakfast. Crunchy Asada Chilaquile Steak ($22.99) was my choice, and it came with a side of hash browns. I loved the tortilla chips, each coated wth a mild sauce and the scrambled eggs together were a great combo. But the protein asada steak was not good...tasted old, clearly from either prepared frozen strips or too long marinated (I've had similar meat at huge menu restaurants that have fajitas on the menu, but don't really use the meat for anything else). Should have gone with the chicken strips (significantly cheaper and is a lot better from frozen). I'm one of those that actually prefers hash browns from a box in most cases (it can end up much more crunchy and not soggy), and they prepared really well here...with a very crispy outside. It would be a good base for any hash dish. Each table had a large selection of condiments, including 3 different types of hot sauces (all with habanero, which is too hot for me), and Sriracha hot chili sauce (nod to where this was located near Cambodia Town). I was politely declined when I asked for any salsa, instead routed towards the hot sauces. Our server was great throughout, with payment tableside, and we were in/out well under an hour. The food quality/value was OK but the service was great, so decided to just split the rating down the middle. A decent place to go if in the area and hungry, but definitely a lot more favorite diner spots in Long Beach that we would go to first. read more

First & foremost shout out to our server Richard. He was amazing. Super welcoming. I saw this place on TikTok and we happen to be in town so guess wut, we decided to visit and I'm so glad we did. The food was glorious...no lie. They had me from the initial complementary ponduce bread. Everybody there seem to be having a great time with their respective group. Definitely five Starz. Would give more if I could. read more

Came here in a work ditch day. First of all they serve you a fresh mini concha to start off with. It was honestly one of the best I've had! It was warm, soft, moist, and loved the taste of cinnamon. We ordered the strawberry cheesecake pancakes and made it a combo. As well as the asada chilaquiles. Everything tasted really good! I loved the taste of the chilaquiles sauce. It was cheesy and almost had a chili taste to it. My scrambled eggs were very tender and cooked perfectly. Not dry at all. I definitely would come back soon! read more

Loaded Cafe is definitely one of my favorite breakfast diners in Long Beach. My favorite thing on the menu that I've tried is the loaded steak and eggs. The strawberry waffles are also really yummy. They also give you a side of Pan Dulce to start your meal which is a nice little bonus. Only downside is it does get busy here so there may be a wait, but they are usually still decently quick even when they are busy. The last time I came here it was raining outside and we got seated by the window which made it feel nice and cozy inside. They have a very extensive menu which can be a little overwhelming, but I would definitely like to come back and try more of their menu items in the future. read more

I have been hearing great things about Loaded Cafes, there are several around now. I was finally near our Long Beach location early enough for breakfast. I came in right after they opened (weekday)! The server even brewed a fresh pot of Decaf for me! I ordered the Original Breakfast that came with two sausage links (or bacon), two eggs, and two pancakes. The menu is huge with a lot of options. Definitely plan to take my family here. I am sure this place gets packed on the weekends, so suggest coming early! Parking - there is a good size lot behind the restaurant, and even the streets around it seem to have ample parking as well. Again, I sure the parking is more challenging on a weekend day. Service was excellent. My server was Martha. read more

They had a special for original breakfast for $5.75. (Instagram has it & we have to show it when you order to get the special price). Two pancakes, two eggs & two bacon/sausage/or ham. They give you a free concheta per person. Service was quick & friendly. Felt cozy & neighborly inside. There were families eating together as well as two tables with solo diners. I liked that they had a variety of people with varying numbers of people dining in. My friend liked the green hot sauce they had on the table and was able to purchase one bottle of it for $4. The pancakes were buttery and fluffy. Didn't need extra butter. Eggs were cooked exactly how we asked for. After we had our breakfast, my friend decided to pick up three different orders of breakfast to go for her family. They have 7 locations with two more on the way. We will definitely go back, either to this location or to one of their sister locations. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff & a parking lot (that's big in LB). read more

Never been here but I wanted breakfast. I noticed it's a chain restaurant so I decided to give it a try. The neighbor is sketchy, especially with the motel Nextdoor with sketchy people around it. Inside is like a mini Denys/ ihop. The music was good and the restroom was clean and big. I didn't know it was a Mexican spot till I looked at the food on the menu. It's definitely popular with the Mexican crowd. I'm Hispanic but not Mexican. What I order was all delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and the staff were nice. I took one star off because it took 30 minutes to get my food. It wasn't even busy when I ordered so I don't know what was the huge hold up. It started to get packed when my food finally showed up. I was planning to come back for Mother's Day but decided not to go because I would have to be there early to beat the rush and I didn't want to wait for 30 minutes for my food. I will definitely go back if I'm not in a rush to be somewhere and in the neighborhood read more

We went here for breakfast for the first time after passing by it numerous times. It was quiet when we visited, but the service was ready for us. We got menus, and the one in hand was a bit dirty. They were kind to bring us out some Mexican bread, which my girlfriend enjoyed. Nonetheless, I marched along and choose the steak and eggs with onions and mushrooms. My girlfriend talked about trying their pancakes, so I withdrew from getting roast. The plate I chose was really good. Eggs made right, steak cooked and seasoned well. The hash browns reminded me of ihop and dennys visually, but they were perfectly crispy and tasted so damn good. Turns out a lot of talk about their hash browns speaks volumes. They had a lot of sweet desserts on the menu, but I will definitely try their churro flavored dishes next time I come in. They have a lot of sweets to choose from that you can take home, so next time you come in. Choose wisely. read more

The loaded steak and eggs was as good as I remembered it. My dining companion thought it was good and stole a few bites of mine. I tried their chicken guacamole stacker. The pancake was good and they gave us a concha and some type of cookie as a house freebie. The menu definitely changed from last time I was here and they have a lot of treats on the menu. Staff was nice food wasn't expensive and came out quickly Nice spot for a brunch date with loved ones and friends Worth a stop if in Long Beach read more

OMG! What a find. My family and I had moved out of state and came back to visit. Needed a bite to eat before going to Universal studios. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. Before they take your order you are given some mini conchas. We all ordered the Basic Combo which came with 2 eggs, meat, hash browns and 2 large pancakes. I could of been fine with just the conchas and coffee. Would definitely recommend. read more

I came here on a Thursday afternoon. I wasn't really hungry however I did try a few things that my party had ordered. As a free appetizer they give you complementary mini conchas. And they're warm! They were delicious. I had the taquitos. I wasn't a fan, but I do like the fresh lettuce that they put on top with the fresh queso. I tried the French toast, those were really good. The shredded potato hashbrowns were pretty bland. Bacon and eggs were good. They have so many options. I will definitely come back because they have crêpes and my son is a huge fan of crêpes. They have so many options with toppings for pancakes, waffles French toast, and crêpes. They have differences or options in the front as well. I wish I would have taken a picture. They sell it by the slice for only five dollars. For me that is a great deal. They look so good! I will be going back. Funny parking, staff was friendly. Not that it matters but This looks like it was probably an old IHOP. read more

August 2025 Huge improvements from last we ate here years ago. Food was excellent, the server was on point, and it looked like the renovated recently. The vibe was so much happier and the place was packed. Complete 180 turn around from our first experience. Definitely putting this place down as one of our Ole reliable spots now. Thanks for fixing up the place . read more

So we sat down, large party took a reasonable amount of time. The service was okay it was memorial day so we expected a little delay though this one seemed long even for the occasion. The food however, fell short of any expectations. The water tastes like it's dirty and from an unfiltered tap. The "bbq" burger had basically no sauce. The machaca beef had that same taste as the water. The rice and beans were good and so were the conchas. However, someone in my party ordered asada fries that came with just little sauce and beef. The menu states that they're "loaded" with guacamole, cheese, salsa, sour cream, and the asada. There was no cheese, the beef looked overdone, no guacamole, no sour cream, and a small pour of rationed sauce. Another party member regretably ordered chicken and waffles. The waffles didn't seem to be bad, but the chicken had a negative taste. They said the chicken tasted burnt and overcooked. Another 2 members ordered burgers which were stated to not be bad on flavor, but the buns were said to have an old feel as if they'd been in a bag for months and weren't even warmed up. Out of the 9 people seated, a majority of them had to send the plates back. Definitely not a pleasant experience and we'll be taking our patronage elsewhere. read more

Came for breakfast on a Saturday morning and it was pretty packed. For a family of 5 we only had a 10min wait though so no bad. Our waiter Richard was great, very friendly and fast. The churro crepe and the almond cheesecake crepe were both very good. Not too sweet. For appetizer they brought out mini concha's. Prices are average but my only complaint was their water. Taste like absolute tap water. Ambiance is like a ihop basically. Everything on the menu sounds soo good so I will definitely come back to try more items. read more

The food was so amazing and loved the whole experience. We had asada chilaquiles and didn't even have time to take a photo. Loved that they are served with hash browns instead of rice and beans. Mixing the hash browns with the cheesy sauce was so darn great. The coffee choices had my son and I going back and forth with what to get because everything looked so darn good. Couldn't believe we had never been here. The pan dulce they serve before your meal was so delicious as well. Oh and the server was super sweet and attentive. Just thank you to the Loaded Cafe staff, you guys really do an amazing job. read more

Came here today, our waiter was great but man. She notified us they were short on product. Chicken fried steak no gravy. Burrito but no tortillas. So we decided to just leave.

I had brunch at Loaded Cafe and the customer service was amazing. I was greeted by almost every staff member as soon as I walked in. Their menu has a lot of options, but this time I tried the Crunchy BBQ Burger (without bacon). Before my meal, the waitress brought out two small conchas--warm, fresh, and delicious. The burger itself was great, with just the right amount of BBQ sauce. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Visited with family after having this place on my list for a while. It was a weekend so the wait was about 30min not bad for our party of 4. Service was quick and the host and waiters/waitresses were really nice and vigilant. All our questions were answered and we had a good time talking to our waitress about what dishes were recommended. We got some mini complimentary Conchas which was nice. Our food came out in a timely way and we got everything we ordered. I got the chicken and egg plate with spicy red sauce. The flavor was good but it wasn't really a plate that I say I love it was good but nothing to rave about. I also asked to have some of their green sauce on the side to try and it was ok. I also ordered their honey lemon crepes and did not like them they were drowning in the lemon butter sauce and I'm not sure how else to describe the sauce besides stinky? It smelled a little funky but didn't taste bad I'm not sure if it's just the butter lemon combo that gives it that smell but it just wasn't good. I'd like to go back and try some of their other dishes. Our table also ordered the chirro crepes which I liked a lot better and they also ordered a chilaquile torta which they enjoyed. read more

Stayed at the motel 6 next door when we were in town for The Warped Tour. Solid breakfast/lunch place. Nice mix of Mexican food and Traditional American food, this place has a little something for everyone. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they also have a bakery that's tied into the company, so there are some good baked goods as well. I've never heard of this place before, but it appears to be a popular chain throughout orange county, so if you're not neat this one, check out their other locations. Service was a little slow, but the food made up for it. Their hot sauces on the tables was amazing! read more

The food was actually good but the service sucked! There was one waiter per four tables. One party actually left as I sat down with my daughter. Instead of the waiter greeting me and asking me about beverages at a minimum. He cleans up the last party tables and preps it without even acknowledging me. Once he got around to taking my order, he never came back to the table after my food arrive. The piggy meal is what I ordered for my self and I ordered the kids French toast plate. It came out to $43.60 and I left $45 dollars on the table. I'm a great tipper but he must do better with customer service read more
