    The Blt

    It's been quite some time since I've last dined here and it was just as cozy and yummy as I remember. As a LB native it's nice to come back and see that nothing has changed with the place. Service is excellent as per usual! Check this spot out if you haven't already!

    Sal's Enchilada Eggs and huevos rancheros

    It's been a while since we last visited The Coffee Cup Cafe, and the flavor and service are still excellent! They now accept credit card, so no need to run to the ATM to enjoy their delicious breakfast offerings. We had their Huevos Rancheros (again) and Sal's Enchilada Eggs, and they were both delicious. The Sal's Enchilada Eggs with chorizo was a great recommendation from staff. They definitely do not skimp out on putting more than enough sauce on their food, which I appreciate. you can never have too much! The staff is so friendly, checks up on water/coffee refills frequently, and keeps the restaurant clean and tidy.

    Always consistent and good! Nice people work here, it's packed on the weekends. It can be a little loud at times, but it's worth it. FOOD*** I usually get the Potato Scramble with Bacon, but today I got the ABC omelette. It was delicious! Check out the picture, the avocado was perfect! I shared this with my wife and it was the perfect size breakfast to fill you up but not weight you down. SERVICE*** Everyone that works here is polite and friendly. I've actually been dining here since 2007-2008. Never had a bad experience. Can't believe I never reviewed it before. The 2 Latino guys that work here are the ultimate Long Beach vibe. They genuinely make my day better every time I see them. PARKING*** Street parking only, but there's plenty of spots. Thanks again Coffee Cup Cafe, see you next weekend!

    French Toast and Sausage

    When you want an old school breakfast experience, go to the Coffee Cup Cafe located on 4th St in Long Beach. They don't have a private parking lot so finding a space, especially on the weekends can be challenging but worth the search. I love Frence Toast, not with Challah, Brioche or another bread type. I like good old white or wheat Wonder Bread or something similar. You have a choice of 1, 2 or 3 slices cut in half. The sausage links were cooked great, but 4 links were too much. I would prefer 2 in the future. Service and price were also great. The Coffee Cup Cafe has been around a long time and if you like standard breakfast and lunch fare, you'll love the Coffee Cup.

    A no-frills diner that my husband has frequented throughout his life. They have a really friendly staff that's constantly checking up on you at the bar, and it makes you feel right at home. I've eaten here twice now and the food doesn't disappoint. It's classic diner breakfast food with some Mexican options. The portions are hefty and definitely shareable and the coffee I has unlimited refills. I had the LB favorite omelette this time and they did not skimp on any of the ingredients inside. I loved it and I will always be down to eat here!

    Had the French toast combo and the chicken fried steak for breakfast with the gf. The chicken fried steak was really good. I'm shocked I don't come here more often but was reminded today that this is one of the better breakfast spots in Long Beach

    Saturday brunch was delicious! First time visiting & I really enjoyed this cafe. Started off with spectacular service from David (the "bus boy"). He was a true pleasure. Extremely attentive, warm personality. We honestly thought that he was our server. We saw him more than...never mind. I'd visit again for him alone. This casual diner was packed and you could tell that the majority of customers are regulars. Breakfast burrito filed with garlic chicken sausage was so good. Massive in size and easily could've fed two people. Pancakes are great French toast is great. Ironically I didn't find my cup of coffee to be that great, but I will definitely visit again for the food.

    The Boss' Favorite and Eggs Benedict
    Levis K.

    I've been coming here for over 15 years, and I'll come back for 15 more. This place has been very consistent over the years and they never fail to make sure their customers leave with a smile and a full belly. The food here has been consistently delicious, offering the best breakfast items and a great variety. The service here has always been great, too! The ambiance is what makes it unique - it still very much gives the mom and pop diner kind of vibe, that's how you know the food will be amazing. They even have the same tables from when I first started coming here 15 years ago. They're consistent in many ways! My only gripe here is the parking. Expect to park in the neighborhoods and go for a stroll. On my last visit I had to park about two blocks away and walked over - luckily it's a short walk but it's totally worth it. Overall, I highly recommend this cafe and will keep coming back!

    Fiesta Bowl (Black beans, pouched eggs, and avocado) 10/10
    Denise P.

    Love this place. Although, my last visit was probably the worst service I've ever experienced and they weren't even that busy. I never sat at the counter before so unsure if it was due to that. I was never asked if I wanted a refill on my water. I kept having to ask, which has never been an issue before. My sausage was never brought out. Lastly, I was charged for coffee when I didn't order any. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. Everything on the menu is great. I love their Sunrise Fiesta Bowl 10/10. If you love black beans and eggs I highly recommend this dish. Add some salsa and this meal is complete. This breakfast/lunch spot is typically busy. The service is fast and efficient. They are great at coffee refills and checking in on you. Plenty of seating. No outdoor seating.

    Great coffee shop with an extensive menu with such a great variety of food! Quick and friendly service- super attentive and helpful. Comfortable atmosphere with a good amount of seating for a weekday morning. It's my understanding there can be a wait on the weekends! Parking is street parking so it's a crap shoot but worth it!

    The food is really good. Miss the Louisiana /cajun influence but the food is still great . The servers are rude most of the time , but the bussers /ones who bring you drinks are super kind . Waiting 45 minutes for our food , for a party of 4, just kind of turns me off from coming here. My kids really like the food tho and I enjoy the scramble . We always debate whether to eat here bc we don't want to give service to bad customer service but we also do like the food .

    Their food is consistent and you can tell they use fresh ingredients. My girlfriend loves their flavored coffee. Just good homemade food

    So with a name like The Coffee Cup Cafe I was excited to see what the coffee was like. Happy to say they delivered. The coffee is excellent. Some of the food selections were good and other items not so much. Bacon, over cooked, sausages lacked flavor. Potatoes were bland. Chocolate chip pancakes were good & stuffed cream cheese French toast were good, not great. Overall a bit disappointing.

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers.

I started with a cup of their beef and barley soup. My wife and I both make this at home from scratch and we're both impressed by theirs. My wife took a taste of mine and instantly ordered her own. Very rich and flavorful. I kept looking at photos of their take on chicken and waffles and knew I had to try it. Seriously epic and was good as it looked. They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it. My wife had their brunch version of a Corpse Reviver cocktail. After our meals were done we finished with an Irish coffee since everyone was ordering them.

    I never expected to find stellar cocktails and wings inside of a hotel, but you truly never know…read more Let's start with the cocktails; they are KILLING it. The menu has a ton of really detailed options, each drink with its own depth. The menu changes seasonally but what doesn't change is the smoked old fashioned - a must-order. They smoke your drink in a glass container using applewood chips; it's quite a show and it also does make the drink much more enjoyable. Ask the bartender and they can also help guide you to a drink - I've done it a couple of times and always pleasantly surprised. Next up, the food! The hummus was very flavorful and paired with an amazing fluffy pita bread. The truffle fries were solid but the plate was HUGE, definitely needs a friend to share. The Nashville wings are the star of the show. I cannot stress this enough, this is worth a DRIVE for. The seasoning really does remind you of Howlin' Rays (the highest compliment) and the chicken is extremely crispy yet insanely juicy. The pickles and ranch that it comes with pairs so well. Do note that they are tossing it in pork fat, which enhances the depth but also makes it a little greasy at the end. I also wished they'd warn you this and offer to order it without it; especially for those who don't eat pork or for those trying to cut some calories. There's a happy hour menu too!!! So you can get drinks and food even cheaper. I cannot stop thinking about this place. It's such a sleeper. Head to Midnight Oil after a visit to continue your night.

I found the prices to be reasonable, especially given the quality of the food and drinks and the central location inside The Westin Over two visits, I tried the hummus, barbacoa tacos, proof burger, and a jalapeño margarita, and everything hit the spot-fresh, and well-seasoned. One thing I would call out is to double-check that your drink is made with the alcohol you requested. I asked for a specific brand in my jalapeño margarita, and the bartender used the one I had specifically said I didn't want (Casa Amigos). I watched him make it and had to ask our server to confirm what was in the drink. To their credit, they remade it with no issues, but it's worth paying attention if you're particular about your spirits. The staff was friendly and welcoming each time I stopped in, and while service ran a bit on the slower side at moments, they stayed attentive enough that it never felt like a real issue.
