We normally head to The Bungalow for an early breakfast, but the last time we went it was closed…read morefor repairs, so we stumbled across this place instead. My first impression was just how big it is! There are multiple levels of seating and a large bar, giving it a lively atmosphere. I was honestly surprised to see how busy it was on a weekday morning, but that only got me more excited, it usually means a place has built a loyal following for a good reason. With only two stomachs to work with, we wanted to try as much as possible. We ordered eggs over medium with bacon, home fries, and toast, a short stack of pancakes with sausage, and biscuits and gravy. I'll just say it, this place knows how to make breakfast. Everything we ordered was done really well, and I honestly don't have many notes. The biscuits and gravy were excellent. The gravy was rich and flavorful, and the biscuit was soft, buttery, and the perfect pairing. I'm not usually a pancake person, but these were fantastic. Add some real maple syrup and a bite of sausage, and it was the perfect combination. I also can't finish this review without mentioning the Bloody Marys. If you're a Bloody Mary fan, these are elite. Seriously, one of the best I've had. We'll definitely be back.

They were packed so they seated us at the last 2 seats left at the bar near the host stand. There was an acoustic singer and guitar player adding to the energetic ambience. We were handed the place mats and menus upon seating. Then it took about 15 min to order a drink. Then another 25 min before we could place our food order. The female bartender was attentive to all the parties around us, and people who came in after us seemed to be a priority. The barback finally noticed us and helped us while he was also busting out drinks. He noticed we were trying to get her attention so he stepped in kindly and took our order. We ordered the Grilled Artichokes, the Burger, and Chicken Carbonara. (Wanted the Bolognese but someone had just ordered the last one by 8pm?!) She never checked in for a second round, so we didn't bother after about 20 min we gave up. The Artichokes came out about 20 min after ordering. They plopped them in front of us, no utensils or napkins. I had to ask the barback for some. The busser seemed disgruntled a said they only had forks. Had to flag someone else for napkins, and they brought us a pile of c-fold paper towels, when they usually have cloth napkins as we noticed with patrons who came in after us. My sis-in-law and I wolf down the 4 pieces of artichokes, using our fork and hands to cut into pieces (no knife). Then another 30 min before our mains come out. Couldn't even ask anyone for a food status update, so just tried to enjoy the live music and each other's company to distract from hunger pangs. The burger and carbonara finally show and looks great. The portions were generous. Fries were a little blonde and just underdone but seasoned enough. The carbonara was delicious as well, nice and al dente. We enjoyed our food and chatted. Music was on the louder side but for a Friday night at 8ish pm, that is not uncalled for. The restaurant started to end their rush and the bar emptied out a tad, but the service did not improve. Asked for the bill and to-go containers as soon as I could flag someone bc I knew it would take awhile to get them. Of course when getting the bill things progressed speedily, so we paid and tried to get out as soon as we were done. The staff there was hot and cold. Barback was helpful and everyone else seemed "annoyed" to have to help us with simple requests that shouldn't have to be requested to begin with. Again I understand rushes happen and staff can become overwhelmed. The bar team had to service the bar and some high tops nearby plus make drinks for the rest of the restaurant, so I understand the volume was high, but again the management team should plan accordingly to make sure the diners do not have to feel the lag in the service. Food was good but left a little disappointed from the service.

A restaurant which looks upscale and rustic from the inside, but sadly the food disappointed…read more Stopped by for the Sunday brunch and while the waitress was super nice, the food took extremely long to come out. Naturally if the food is taking a long time to be made, I will have higher expectations for the food tasting good due to it being made to order. I think the issue is with the recipes of the dishes themselves. The flavors of the huevos rancheros did not go together- somehow there was something sweet in them which surprised me. I also was not a fan of the flatbread due to the flavors and texture not melding well. My mom felt that something tasted off about the chicken dish. The best dish was probably the French toast which my brother liked. The price of the meal ended up being expensive considering the taste. I think the restaurant can work on improving their recipes.

The ambiance strikes a great balance between cozy and modern, creating a comfortable space to enjoy your coffee. The coffee itself was outstanding rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their ingredients. I also tried some of their food, which was just as impressive and paired perfectly with my drink. What truly made the visit special was the exceptional service. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel right at home. It's always refreshing to find a place where both the products and the people leave such a positive impression. If you're in the Island Park area and looking for a great coffee spot with delicious offerings and a relaxing vibe, I highly recommend East Rock Coffee. I'll definitely be coming back!

The servers were all super sweet, and the hostess' did their best to accommodate our group. We ordered two drinks-Cucumber Cooler and the Indian Summer. The Cucumber Cooler was pretty refreshing and reminded me a lot of a mojito. The Indian Summer, however, was extremely tangy and tart, so I wasn't the biggest fan. For our food, we got a Charcuterie Board, Spicy Chicken Rigatoni, Smokehouse Burger, and Cedar-Plank Salmon. We honestly devoured the Charcuterie Board as soon as it was placed down in front of us. I loved the toast paired with the meats, cheese, and fig. The Smokehouse Burger is honestly so filling. I was pretty full from a quarter of the burger, because it was so packed with things (onion rings, cheese, patty, etc.). The fries are also a classic. The rigatoni was also pretty good; it's your classic vodka sauce. As for the salmon, I was a HUGE fan. The maple-bourbon glaze on the salmon gave it a nice smoky, savory, and sweet flavor that paired amazingly with the garlic herb rice. I could honestly eat this for days. Overall, the food, service, and vibe were pretty nice. I see why so many Long Beach natives recommend this spot. We were also seated in their half indoor/half outdoor area, and the weather was beautiful that day, so it was really nice to experience. Highly recommend coming here !

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with darker lighting, exactly what you want when you're enjoying drinks at a bar.

I absolutely loved the barramundi francese and the onion soup pork chop, both were delicious. And I have to mention the mashed potatoes. I normally swap out the potato option, but I was sharing with someone who wanted them. They were incredibly luscious. I'll definitely get them again. Speakeasy is absolutely worth a visit. I'll be back many times! Great job, guys!

My boyfriend ordered the Dulce de Leche crepe, and it came out warm, soft, and generously filled with that rich caramel sweetness with strawberries that somehow still felt light instead of overwhelming. I went for the Ferrero Rocher crepe, and it was genuinely incredible....nutty, chocolatey, and perfectly balanced so every bite tasted like dessert done right rather than just pure sugar overload. What made the whole experience even better was the service. The staff were friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and everything came out quickly and looking great. It's the kind of place where you feel welcomed the moment you walk in, and you end up staying a little longer than you planned just because it's comfortable. Between the food and the atmosphere, it's an easy recommendation...especially if you're craving crepes that actually feel thoughtfully made! We will definitely be back!! Highly recommend.
