Yum yum yum! Scrumptious vegan veggie crepe and crunchy hash browns. Hit the spot! They have a wide selection of creative and interesting vegan options for breakfast and lunch. Their desserts look divine! Can't wait to return to try. Cute corner cafe on a busy corner. Parking can be tricky. You can order ahead to go or dine in. I usually like to park on a nearby side street then still over. Again, it's a busy road so use caution while crossing. read more

The Grain Cafe - Veggie Crepe - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

This vegan hot spot is right up my alley! It's been so fun exploring Belmont and the Grain Cafe has quickly become one of my repeat spots. This healthy eatery serves up vegan and gluten free bites. They have an extensive menu of breakfast, lunch, and dessert items. The inside is adorable and feels like it's straight out of a 90s sitcom. They also have a small outdoor patio that's perfect for pets and sun soaking. I ordered their energy juice (bananas, dates, and Yerba mate) as well as the chilaquiles plate with red sauce. This chilaquiles was better than most meat based versions of this entrees. Everything is so fresh and tasty, you leave feeling lighter, yet full. read more

4.5 stars. The Grain Café in Long Beach has become one of my most dependable go-tos. Their menu is incredibly diverse, and I love that everything feels fresh and thoughtful. The juices and smoothies are especially great -- the Sun Butter smoothie is intriguing because it's completely white. It tastes a bit like protein powder, earthy but not in a bad way, and surprisingly satisfying. I've loved every dish I've ordered here, but Thanksgiving is my favorite time to come. I always get the pumpkin-spiced chai (no espresso), which is perfectly cozy. This year I tried the full Thanksgiving meal. The stuffing is a bit salty, but if you eat it with the mashed potatoes, it balances out well. The soy-based "turkey" is a little rubbery, and the cranberry sauce is pretty sweet, but again, combining everything makes each bite work. The veggies, though -- so clean and delicious. The zucchini especially is a standout. Overall, The Grain Café stays a solid, comforting, and dependable spot with food I genuinely enjoy every time. read more

Treated myself the other morning to one of my favorite gluten free meals. Really good attentive service, and it was the perfect quiet atmosphere to enjoy my meal and book at the same time. I don't eat out at restaurants much lately but I really enjoyed my experience! read more

The food here was really delicious. It honestly felt like the kind of breakfast you'd get on a Sunday morning at your abuela's house. The huevos con chorizo were so good, and their hot sauce was it went perfectly with it. The person working there was also really nice, and the whole place had a calm, relaxed vibe. Definitely a spot I'd come back to if I'm in Long Beach again read more

A very cute little plant based restaurant with a big menu. Always love supporting vegan local businesses! At first it seems like a Mexican spot based on the decor but the menu has a bit of everything. Loved how breakfast is available all day. I ended up getting the grilled veggie wrap and was surprised when I bit into it that it was an Asian wrap. There is no mention of that on the menu description, in fact it says "pesto." Not that that's bad it's just not what I was expecting or craving so it made the whole meal a little off. My bf got the wrap as well and only took a few bites. My aunt & sister got Mexican dishes and got some shakes and everything looked really good! Service was great! Indoor (minimal) and outdoor seating available. Parking is street parking - but was easy to find. read more

Just tried the tacos on Taco Tuesday, they are delicious!! Highly recommend and will definitely come back! The Barbacoa were my favorite.

I always love an experience at one of The Grain Cafe locations, but this was my first time at the location in Long Beach. The unique thing about this location is they have an added Oaxacan menu full of even more delicious options that do not disappoint! The service was super friendly and our waitress gave great recommendations, the ambiance is very casual and chill, but it can get a little stuffy inside when it's hot. Here are some of the highlights: 4/5 - Dargon Roll: "Tuna", cucumber, carrots, avocado, and a side of soy sauce. A great light and delicious appetizer. Pro tip: the "Tuna" like paste is a little salty, so don't overdo the soy sauce to avoid that extra salty flavor. 5/5 - Chilaqulies Verde: corn tortilla chips, onions, mushroom, zucchini and tofu egg, sautéed in a salsa verde, topped with homemade sour cream, cheese, and avocado. Very delicious, had a nice little kick of spice, but not too overpowering, I would highly recommend this dish! 5/5 - Coconut Blackberry Cake: a delicious blend of fresh coconut and blackberries, without too much of either flavor, perfectly balanced. 4.5/5 - Strawberry Almond Cake: very good, almost as good as the coconut blackberry cake, but a little dryer in taste. However, with the heavier frosting parts, just as delicious with the same texture! Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.33/5 read more

My career is a mobile phlebotomist and I'm always on the go. I found this spot very interesting. I read that we're having a smoothies and juices and my curiosity just took me in there and I got to try one of the most popular smoothies that girl tell me the berry berry what's one of the customers favorite. I was looking for something green honestly, but since I hear that I was like OK, let's give it a shot. My concern was a little bit about the sweetness. But then when they give it to me, I tried out and it was delicious. It hit the spot that really worked out or replacing me a meal for another hour. This was looking pretty busy. They were at least six tables busy so that means the food is good. I can't wait to come back to try their food and the pastries the cakes oh my gosh, they were looking delicious and some people were eating out as well. I was in a rush, so maybe next time with the more time I can check more of the menu out.. for right now now I have another spot to order my smoothie. I can't wait to try more of the menu. For parking situation of the parking, my goodness is a little hard, but not impossible. You must have to park a little far away, but you can find parking around. Good luck if you were trying to see like a breakfast lunch a spot definitely give this one a chance to impress you like it did to me. read more

Quite cute, rusty place. Stopped by for a cup of mocha and a cake. Parking can be tough since it's street parking only. Service is nice and friendly. The cake was great and tasty and moist and coffee is good. The decor, for me, dark and rustic feeling and they have a waterfall wall so it's relaxing. The place is right on the corner of 4th Street & Ximeno Ave so you got the corner view of both streets. They do have indoor and outdoor seating for all seasons. They do have other plain base foods but we're here in the morning so couldn't able to try the foods yet but my friends said that it was great with reasonable price too. Will definitely come back and try them out. read more

I had the build your own grain bowl with the veggie of the day, brown rice, black beans, chicken, and roasted garlic aioli. I didn't read the menu too closely and was pleasantly surprised to see it was a vegan chicken that they use. I've tried vegan chicken at other places and it wasn't as good as it was here. The server helped me by picking out the garlic aioli and I'm glad that I got that for my bowl. The inside is really nice and I would want to come back to dine in next time. read more

I'm not vegan but my adult son is so we do visit the Grain Cafe often however this was our first time at the Long Beach location. We often visit the Grain Cafe because this is the only restaurant my other non-vegan family will eat. Everyone always enjoys their meal no matter what they order. If you have a similar family or friend this is the place you want to take them to have a delicious vegan meal. I ordered the Mojotes which are masa dough filled with the perfect amount of potatoes and chorizo salsa, topped with black bean sauce, cabbage, avocado salsa and cheese bedded on romaine lettuce. It was very flavorful and so good that I dove in and forgot to take a picture of it. I would definitely order this again. The place also has homemade desserts which I bought my son a slice of pie to take home. The only negative comment I can make about this location is the tap water. Definitely did not taste filtered so I purchased flat water. read more

went in for supper, was a relatively hot day so the evening breeze felt nice. our server was very friendly and gave us plenty of time to rake through the extensive menu. we ordered hummus and pita to start, which was beet hummus for when we went in. wish we got more pita, because we had a couple bites left of hummus. tasted good ! got the asada and tinga tacos, and wow, both of the proteins were very well seasoned and balanced! blown away by how flavorful the marinades were. for our mains, i got the club with sweet potatoes (i thought they would be fries though). the sandwich was good, i did wish that the middle of the sandwich wasn't a third slice of bread, it was very filling. the protein was very good. also got the cobb salad and it was so delicious! i loved the amount of toppings, the tempeh bacon was my favorite and the tofu egg alongside avocado were dressed well. finished meal with a tres leches cake -- was more on the decadent side for my taste but we packed it up for later. will add this to my list for lunch next time i'm in LB! read more

my favorite on the menu is the veggie crepe. most ppl rave about their sandwiches or mexican food but i personally think this is the best item on the menu. the crepe texture is soft and chewy and the veggie in the crepe is perfectly seasoned. i love the green sauce that comes with it! my only gripe is it is not that filling. you will be hungry in 2 hours. the prices are a bit steep for the amount of food you get. the service is always pretty good and the server was attentive this day as well! read more

It was a long time coming, but a few weeks back, we finally made it out to the Grain Cafe. The inside of the place has a mellow vibe, nothing over the top. We were greeted by a friendly host and proceeded to order. We tried the Mole Burrito, which consisted of Daiya cheese, mushrooms, onions, zucchini, cabbage, chard, bell peppers, and "chicken," all wrapped in a spinach tortilla, topped with their homemade mole sauce. It was served with your choice of black or pinto beans and Spanish rice. The burrito itself was decent, though it didn't have much "chicken." The mole was very flavorful, as were the vegetables. As for the sides, I'd recommend going with all beans, the rice, in my opinion, tasted like a premade Spanish rice packet. We also tried the nachos with "chicken." Unlike the burrito, the nachos had plenty of "chicken" and were very good! The squeeze bottle of hot sauce was also a hit not only really tasty but legit! We ordered a tempeh bowl as well, which was fresh-tasting and very good. Lastly, we had the cake slices, which were really good, especially the pistachio! read more

Empty mid-day on a Sunday. We ordered the falafel plate and a plate with the veggie burger. Food is flavorful, but very dry. Tastes and seems to be healthy, which is great, but probably doesn't cater to most people given the type of food they serve. Everything is vegan. Ambiance feels very "old-school" minimalist vegan. read more

It's been a good while since I last visited this place, but now I'm remembering why I stayed away for a while. Everything is sooooo dang sweet! Good Lord. "Woe is me", for wanting to try and eat healthy but this little lady won't be coming back. Let me just say, the Orange Juice was definitely not fresh squeezed, it was excessively sweet, and it tasted more like a smoothie or "puree". When I asked the young man working the Cash register, "how come it was extremely sweet as if someone poured 2 teaspoons of sugar", he then proceeded to tell me it was just the orange batch. Shortly after, I realized I was hungry so opted to order the appetizer "Super Roll" (GF). Maybe everything at this place is a sweet batch, cause even the mango was super rich. Also, whatever it was wrapped in almost made me choke. (the dry edible vegan seaweed) I had to toss the rest away. Sucks cause the staff was nice . read more

Great food, service and ambiance. They always give you enough and have a lot of gluten free options.

Lots of options from different cuisines. Wish the restaurant was busier on a Saturday night, as it was just us and one other group. The burrito was pretty good. Prices are average with decent serving sizes. Food overall seems fresh, but we were wowed by our entrees. Overall 3.5, will round up to 4 read more

I love that this is a vegan cafe. It's all vegan, organic, they have gluten & soy free options. It seems like animals are allowed in here. I love the vibes is very traditional tropical vibes. It reminds me when I was back in costa rica. I love that they place traditional Mexican and bachata music. I would love to see them a bachata night. Also, the door is a pull if you also struggling with push and pull doors . There is free wifi and street parking. Some outlets. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was super attentive. They were always checking in if I needed anything. They kept refilling my water. I got the agave vanilla latte. It was sweet and creamy. They even did this cute kitten latte art when I asked them! I also got create your own dish of the garlicky green, grilled chicken, and roasted garlic aioli. It was pretty healthy and the garlic aioli was a perfect touch to it! I would recommend this place. read more

Stopped by here to get a to-go order. Excellent customer service. Friendly, knowledgeable about the wide variety of items on their all-vegan, organic menu! When you walk in there is plenty of seating, but the cake case will really catch your eye! There was music on, which was at the perfect level. Yesterday we were at some other restaurant for lunch and had to ask multiple times for the music to be turned down. Even using our 'outside voices' we couldn't hear one another. You won't have that problem here. We ordered the Garden Wrap with the side salad and the Grilled Veggie Wrap with the house potatoes. The Garden Wrap was delicious. You would be surprised at how rare it is to find a wrap ( or sandwich) like this is any restaurant, vegan or not. This had red pepper hummus and the veggies were fresh, bright, & flavorful. The Grilled Wrap was also a hit! I contemplated getting the Posole Soup as well. I was able to have a little sample. While it was delicious with just the right amount of spice for me, I opted to skip it realizing that I didn't want to try eating it on a drive. We added the banana bread to our order. Wow! So glad we did! read more

Oh my goodness! My sister brought me to lunch here last week for the Two Cheese Crepe, and I'm back a week later for another one! The funny thing is I react poorly to sugar and generally avoid the crepe/pancake family altogether, but this dish balances the sweet & savory so perfectly--I literally ate the whole thing & felt fantastic afterwards. The service was gracious & attentive both times I visited. This is a lovely, unpretentious place where you can really relax. It's a 30 minute drive but I'm definitely coming back soon! read more

This is an amazing vegan restaurant even if you're not vegan! Honestly, this is the only vegan restaurant that I like! The quality of the food and desserts is excellent and the customer service is always on point. We've dined inside and outside enjoying our coffees and lattes and sometimes order to go. The portions are generous and the price points are reasonable for the quality of the food. I always recommend Grain Cafe in Long Beach to vegan friends and family. read more

I had very high hopes for this cute cafe. Good reviews and location is what brought us in, but missed the mark for me. With so many Vegan places to choose from nowadays I'm not so sure about returning. A nice menu with great variety and the cute design on our coffee were the best parts. Unfortunately, the beverages were thin and flavor balance off. Both of us felt the same with different drinks. My food was not nearly as flavorful as I expected based on description, the omlette was too dry. My husband's food was just ok. Service was slow, I mean really slow for 10am. Sadly disappointed in our experience. Street parking was easily found when we went. read more

What I loved about this place was they are vegan and used sustainable products like no plastic straws but compostable ones and silverware, so no plastic there too. We ordered a customized juice, which was good. Ordered a pancake for the kid (no complaints), Huevos Rancheros and Tofu scramble. The portion sizes were very small for the prices, hardly filled our stomachs! The food was spread out in such a way to look as if they filled the plates, but the quantity was too little in reality! read more

I've holding this from you guys but I can't any longer. Here's what you gotta know... at every other restaurant, gluten free bread is a down grade. It's bad. It's cardboard. It's a sad face in food. At grain cafe, if you DONT get the tuna melt on GF bread - you're missing out. It's like a GF focaccia bun and it's insane!!! It's also the best vegan tuna I've ever had. Sunflower seed based vs tempeh. The serving sizes here are epic. The service is too. Everyone is nice. If you can eat gluten, get the matcha cake. Omg I miss eating it. It is so cloud like.
