    After a 12-hour night shift, I had to get my tires fixed and ended up handing my car over to the capable hands of the shop. With some time to spare, I walked down to Mia's Cafe--and I'm glad I did. This is a cute, family-owned café with a welcoming feel. I ordered a coffee (of course!) and the avocado toast--something light enough to keep me going without putting me to sleep. And let me just say... this was real avocado toast, not guacamole spread. It came with a fried egg, bacon, spinach, and fresh sliced avocado, and it was satisfying and well put together. Nothing over-the-top, just a solid, enjoyable breakfast. Service was great--I was greeted warmly, attended to quickly, and my food came out fast, which was exactly what I needed after a long shift. Overall, a nice, easy stop for a quick bite and good service. They also have outdoor seating. Parking is challenging but still doable.

    Turkey Club
    Angie M.

    This is a small restaurant with really good food! Parking was a bit of a challenge, but was able to park out on the street. We were three, and there was a bit of a wait as there are minimal tables. I had the turkey club and it was amazing. I am not often a fan of sandwiches so that is saying a lot. The service was very friendly and if I am ever back in the area I would definitely go again!

    Located in an industrial area. There's limited parking space in the lot but there's also street parking. This replaced what used to be Shirley's Temple. There's picnic tables outside and smaller tables available on the inside. We were seated on arrival around 10 am, but there was a slight wait once we were finished. The prices are average and menu isn't overwhelming. Our server was attentive and friendly. I ordered Mia's breakfast platter, which came with eggs, bacon, chicken sausage and my choice of French toast or pancakes. Everything tasted decent except the house potatoes were slightly undercooked in my opinion. Side note: The restroom is slightly hidden around a corner so signage directing customers to it would be helpful.

    I found this place because it appeared on my Instagram feed and decided to try it out! Mia's café can be located in an industrial area in Smill Hill, which is part of Long Beach. There was plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating. The waiter was outside and kept the door open for us. We sat down immediately. There were a couple of other tables. It seemed like our waiter was solo, but he handled all the guest very well. I believe our waiter's name is Marvin, he was polite, attentive, and had a great customer service with everyone. My daughter and I ordered the Chilaquiles's with ribeye that came with eggs and potatoes and the fancy French toast. I wasn't sold under coffee either. I love me a good café diner coffee and this one just didn't give anything for me. We've had Chilaquiles's at other restaurants so we might be a little biased and we're not sold on them completely. They just lacked the right flavor and the ribeye had tons of fat. We were hoping that they had a different type of steak for them, but we left most of the meat on the plate because of the fat. The French toast was amazing! The presentation and the flavors were all there. There is a cream cheese frosting in between the French toast. That was amazing. Prices were a little higher than I expected for the location. Overall, it's a nice spot for breakfast/lunch.

    Pork Belly Brunch Burrito
    Dezmond B.

    Was in the Long Beach area and stopped by Mia's Cafe for a late breakfast--and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Pork Belly Brunch Burrito, and it was absolutely amazing. The pork belly was cooked to perfection--tender, flavorful, and they definitely don't skimp on the portion size. Every bite was packed with flavor. Pro tip: ask for their spicy hot sauce--it's not automatically served, but it takes the burrito to another level. The burrito also came with a side of potatoes and peppers, which were a great complement to the meal and well-seasoned. The outdoor seating area really added to the experience. It has a relaxed, laid-back vibe that's perfect for enjoying a slow brunch, especially with the Long Beach weather. On top of that, the staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which made the visit even better. Overall, Mia's Cafe is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. I'll be back for sure.

    Small little joint but we were seated fairly quickly, within 15 minutes, for Saturday brunch around noon. Place was clean, service was great, the iced coffees were delicious (not too strong and not too sweet), food was good - would come back to try some of their other plates! Also, there is a small parking lot and also lots of street parking available so that wasn't a struggle.

    Ribeye & pork belly burrito with side of potatoes
    Erika M.

    Highly highly reccomend stopping into Mia's Cafe! The food is truly delicious ! We came in on Saturday morning around noon and only had to wait to be seated about 10 mins or so! As we waited, we ordered a hazelnut ice coffee, which was delightful. When we sat down, we each ordered burritos - modified! I asked for mine with chicken and no pico de gallo. My only knock down was, they didnt put the country potatoes in my burrito. Only on the side! But honestly, the burrito was so delicious, I couldnt even complain! My gf ordered the ribeye burrito but with an addition of pork belly! She absolutely loved it! The meat was tender and the pork belly was melt in your mouth worthy! As we were waiting to eat, we spotted some people next to our table ordered Cafe De Olla! My gf was curious...so of course we ordered it! And look, when i tell you that i don't like coffee and I thought this was NEXT LEVEL....is not a lie! Haha! I cannot rave about it enough! We will be coming back for that alone! We also ordered a side of fruit, which was just right! And a cup of hot water! Anthony, who was our server, was marvelous! He was super helpful in our modifications and was kind and hospitable! So if Anthony is there, give him some love! All in all, the place is wonderful! Not a lot of seating. But they have both indoor and outdoor! The space is a bit tight, but honestly, thats never a big deal for us! There is plenty of street parking if you can't find any in the lot!!! Seriously! Make your way out!!!

    Mia's Breakfast Platter

    Wow this place was amazing! It's small so make sure you're there early if you want a seat :) the orange juice was phenomenal, the pancakes were perfectly soft but cooked, and the country potatoes were PERFECT. I can't wait to go back and try the chilaquiles!

    Churros and ice cream
    Karina G.

    It definitely is off the beat and path but the it has a 4.5 on here. Parking is limited, you have to park on the street, which there is plenty of. I happen to be off early and my friend that I was hanging with likes to try new places. Right off the bat server was great but it took a long time to get anything we ordered. Even to get a refill on coffee. Breakfast sandwich was very tasty, bacon was cooked as ordered and potatoes were delicious wish for a bigger portion served. Although he mentioned desserts are not made in house I still went for Cheesecake, ahhhh I could have done without. I appreciate the glaze and blueberries, it made it palatable. A negative would be they close early.

    Churro French Toast: French Toast /Stuffed with Cinnamon Buttercream, Topped with Fresh Strawberries and Duice de Leche Sauce.

    It's a small mom and pop breakfast spot that had amazing service, hot and fresh food and great attentive service by the employees

    Mia's Breakfast Platter with pancakes

    Finding Mia's Kitchen in Signal Hill can be a bit of a challenge, but it is clearly a local favorite because even on a Monday morning, nearly every table was packed. The menu offers a great Mexican-American breakfast fusion, and after trying the food, it is easy to see why the place stays so busy. We both went with Mia's breakfast platter, one with pancakes and the other with French toast and paired them with a hazelnut latte that was honestly incredible. The espresso was super smooth with the perfect amount of sweetness, and as someone who is usually sensitive to lactose, I was thrilled that it didn't cause any of the usual bloating. The food itself was just as impressive as the coffee. The pancakes hit that elusive balance of being a little sweet, a little savory, and slightly crispy around the edges. They avoided that common issue of being too dry or heavy on the batter, making them incredibly easy to enjoy. The French toast was equally amazing, clearly made with a high-quality brioche that was rich and buttery. Even the sides stood out; the sausage was perfectly salty in the best way possible. While you might have to hunt a little to find the front door and should definitely expect a longer wait on the weekends, the quality of the meal makes it well worth the effort. They have seatings inside and outside. Pretty nice to sit outside on a sunny day.

    Excellent service! Good food. Place super clean. Was my first time eating in this restaurant.... Thank you your hospitality Marvin . Definitely we will come back!

    Happy and satisfied after our burritos (we forgot to  take pics!)
    Beth O.

    Mia's was the perfect halfway place between where I live and a friend lives. We met there today for lunch and we're served by Marvin an excellent waiter! My friend and I hadn't seen each other in quite a few years so we ended up talking way past finishing our meal and Marvin was very accommodating and refreshed. Our water kept checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed while not pressuring us to leave. About the food... We both were intrigued by the ribeye burrito and Marvin said it was one of the best things on the menu so we trusted him and he did not lie. We both loved it and the potatoes that came with. It were so good so perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside . Perfect perfection! I kind of wish we had tried two different things, but will be back to do exactly that sometime soon. The churros are next level! This picture does not describe how good they taste. Mia is tucked away in an industrial area so you know the food is good. Because it appeared to be the only restaurant in that area and is probably frequented by a lot of people that work there so you know to have longevity you have to have good food and Mia's has it in spades! Thank you, Marvin for your excellent service and care and your great photography skills!

    Recently stopped by Beach City Deli & BBQ after seeing recommendations online and decided to order…read morethe Big Kahuna. Honestly, one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. The pineapple added to what's basically a Cuban style sandwich sounds different at first, but it works perfectly. The balance of sweet, savory, crispy, and smoky was spot on. Everything tasted super fresh and the bread held everything together perfectly without getting soggy. My original plan was to eat half and save the rest for later... yeah, that didn't happen. Ended up finishing the whole thing because it was that good. Service was friendly, food came out quick, and the whole spot had a really chill local vibe. Definitely a hidden gem if you're in the area. Highly recommend this place and I'll for sure be back to try more off the menu.

Soppressata, mortadella, bacon, extra onions, pickles & tomatoes. A satisfying, filling sub sandwich that made for a pleasurable lunch. A nominal wait, the meat were freshly sliced, and assembling the sandwich with plump & crisp vegetables, it was worth every minute of delay. The cashier was friendly & a pleasure to deal with, too.

    We went into Dilly's for the first time, and ordered a pastrami sandwich. I asked if the pastrami…read morewas fresh, and let me fast-forward to the answer-YES. The server (owner?) asked if we wanted cheese and Cole slaw, and that's how we got it. The sandwich was big enough to share so if the sandwich seems pricey, consider sharing. Although on a hungry day, I could probably eat it all with no problem. Dilly's has a fairly decent amount of craft beers on draft. I wasn't in a beer-drinking mood so I didn't look too closely at the list. I love it when restaurants support local brewers, and this looks like the kind of place that would do just that.

    Heard about Dilly's Sandwiches having the most unique rotating set of beers on tap in Long Beach,…read moreso had to come to try it. The taste portions were very reasonably priced, allowing to create your own flight (or two). Specifically scheduled an early afternoon to come to the Lakewood Village neighborhood of East Long Beach. My wife found an angled parking spot right in front. It wasn't too crowded inside and the four of us found easy, comfortable seating in the brightly decorated dining room. One places and pays for the order at the counter, with the proprietors being very friendly and engaged. They brought out our beers after the pour, and the sandwiches a bit after (since each is individually carefully made). Beers: - Northern Lager [Oxbow] - ($5 for 13oz pour) was clean, crisp and a hoppy aftertaste. - Infinite Hotel [The Wayfinder X Bierstadt] (marked as $3 but charged $4) is a rice lager and was the favorite of the group for its drinkability - Winteruption [JK's Farmhouse] ($3) is a cider with very strong maple syrup overtones: never tasted anything like it. - Hyper Paradise [Rare Barrel] ($4) - saison and ale with mango and passion fruit. I liked this beer very much. - A Place Like Home [Pure Project] ($3) - Nitro poured Extra Special Bitter. - Double Negative [Grimm] ($4) - Imperial Stout, which I really enjoyed. - Amongst Friends [Sante Adairius] ($4) - a cherry saison, unusual and was glad to sample. A lot of work was put into creating this flight, with the careful pours and markings to make sure I knew what was what. I really appreciated the opportunity to sample all of these on-tap. In terms of the food, the group as a whole really liked them, though I guess I wasn't as impressed with my two samples, mainly because it used non-descript deli meat in OK quantities, heating them up when necessary. Hot Beef ($18) was my wife's, and it had been griddled with cheese to form a crispy lattice. The Ham and Cheese ($16) was served cold and had potato chips inside which my mother-in-law liked (saving the other half for home). Our friend and I split the Hot Turkey ($16) and Pastrami No 19 style ($20). The pastrami meat was piled high and the cole slaw was crisp and good, but was served cold (should have read the description more closely) and mediocre rye bread broke apart quickly. The Hot Turkey ($16) was served on ciabatta that had been grill pressed for a long time, creating a wonderful crust as good as any sandwich I've had. But the filling was OK, using standard turkey breast slices from a loaf and an ok stuffing...using hand carved turkey would have made a big difference here, but understand it's hard to do. Strangely, even though it's a pickle adorned shop, each sandwich just came with an ordinary pickle spear, what one would expect from a diner, not a deli. And the prices are on the higher side, especially with no sides and most not being particularly ginormous. But I loved how each sandwich used different breads, and how some of them were toasted very well. And having the opportunity to try these unique beers made it a really good experience.

It's located in Bixby Knolls, surrounded by coffee shops, restaurants, bars and breweries, yet it's the only true wine bar right there. Honestly, Long Beach has more wine bars than most surrounding areas, and since the South Bay is packed with breweries, if you're tired of beer this is your sign to switch it up. You will not regret it. The food menu has cheese boards, salads and sandwiches, and everything I've had here has been delicious. The cheese boards are better than sex. There is seating indoors and outdoors. It's minimal, but somehow we always manage to find a table. The service is consistently great and the owner is wonderful. She will be leaving soon and she will absolutely be missed, but what she has built here will definitely be cherished. The new owners fell in love with the place, so you can expect it to be well taken care of and to remain just as charming. Parking is street only, so read the signs carefully so you don't end up with a ticket. If you go on a Sunday there are no restrictions or time limits, which makes it even better.
