Amazing food! I love their Vietnamese iced coffee, chive BLT, and beignets! The BLT is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Such a fun and welcoming environment! read more

Great vegan breakfast & lunch spot! Love the space- very open & airy. Service was good. Hipster staff LOL But of course than main event is THE FOOD. Had the monte cristo, was thrown off by the sweet & savory combo, but it was tasty nonetheless. Hubby had the fried chicken sandwich & offspring had the chicken & French toast. ALL DELISH. Vietnamese coffee was also 100 read more

The Wild Chive - Waffelito on top and half a burrizo - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

My fiancé and I were looking forward to a peaceful vegan brunch experience and decided to try this spot in Long Beach. The area, as expected, was busy with limited parking, but we found a space and made our way in with open hearts. The host greeted us and quickly seated us -- a kind gesture in what appeared to be a small but bustling space. The menu, accessible via QR code, was quite limited, leaning more toward drinks than food. Still, we chose a couple of breakfast items and a hibiscus drink. After a bit of a wait, we were finally able to place our order. The drinks arrived with paper straws already inserted, which can be tricky if you're hoping to enjoy the drink with your meal rather than immediately. Small detail, but worth mentioning. When our food arrived, it did so in an unusual way. The cook who brought mine made a remark -- "Don't worry, I didn't forget about you" -- which seemed unnecessary, as I hadn't expressed any concern. Tone can be a delicate thing, and while I try not to take things personally, it did leave us feeling a little uncomfortable. As for the food, the banana blueberry pancakes were dry, even with syrup, which was rationed enough that additional servings cost extra. At \$20, I hoped for a bit more flavor and care in the preparation. While our experience wasn't what we'd hoped, I believe every establishment has room to grow. I'm sharing this with understanding -- not condemnation -- in the spirit of feedback and constructive reflection. I genuinely hope this place continues to evolve and aligns its service with the love and intention behind plant-based food. Presentation was nice. read more

We flew in from Miami and found this amazing establishment on yelp and I'm so glad we did. The service was top notch. Pancakes- heavenly buttery and slightly crisp edges with a fluffy center. I was so pleased. I wasn't a fan of the tofu scramble or the bacon but the fried chicken was outstanding. French Toast- just like grandma's. Please get the homemade coconut whip cream. read more

Came here on a whim and was absolutely delighted with this place. The sign out front said reservations required, but we lucked out that they had some space for us as a walk in. A nice variety of vegan food, which all looked and smelled amazing (definitely coming back for the French toast). They also serve cafe du monde coffee. Orders: Grilled burrizo with breakfast potatoes: a packed breakfast burrito that looked like it was pressed with one of those panini press machines. It didn't look like a lot volume wise, but it was! We left with half of it in a to-go box. I really liked dipping it in the chipotle sauce that came with the potatoes. Country breakfast: Texas toast with a vegan scramble that included tomatoes, house made sausage (vegan), potatoes, and cheese. It was so much food and so good! Crispy pickle fries: the favorite of the table. I wish I could have a bucket of these. They were perfect. Couple things about the vibe of this place that made me feel at home: it's super queer friendly, there's a huge mural of RBG, and the people working there are fantastic. Shout out to our server, Kesic! They were super helpful getting us oriented to the menu since we had never been there before and just an overall wonderful human. read more

The Wild Chive - Berry Pancakes - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

Food : 10/10. I've ate here twice and I've ordered the BLT and beignets all the time. So I definitely recommend the BLT. The beignets are also really good! I tried the stuffed French toast and it was DELICIOUS! It wasn't too sweet like you'd expect a French toast to me. It was the perfect amount of sweet and very fruitful! You really do forget that you're eating vegan because the food is that good! Service : 10/10 the servers are nice, friendly, and welcoming Ambiance : 10:10 it's pretty spacious inside with high ceilings. Art is cool! read more

The Wild Chive is hands down one of the best brunch spots I've ever tried! I've been wanting to try TWC for years -- first while they were a pop-up and then as a brick and mortar. I'd never made it to either due to my inability to get myself together and out the door in the morning. This time it was meant to be as we were visiting friends in LBC just a few blocks away. I made a reservation so we didn't have to wait for a table. I highly recommend doing this because it's a fairly small but very popular brunch spot. We were seated immediately, but it took a little while for a server to come by. Though they were pretty busy, our server was still really friendly and took the time to answer all our questions. I chose the grilled burrizo and it was awesome! The griddled tortilla was filled with a nicely seasoned tofu scramble, kale, soyrizo, peppers, onions, and potatoes, and it was served with a chipotle aioli, accompanied by a fresh side salad. The flavors and textures complimented each other perfectly to make it so much more than the sum of its parts. My dining companions were also very pleased with their choices. I had a bite of my husband's country breakfast, and it too was delicious. The chive BLT looked amazing and was packed with avocado slices. I also had a taste of the chick'n and waffles which was fantastic. The coffee was good, the service was friendly, the ambiance was airy and modern, and the experience was excellent! I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

A vegan brunch spot worth visiting whether you're eating a plant-based diet or not. It's really that good! It's pretty hard to get a last minute table here on the weekends; they are reservation only, but it's possible to still stop by and snag a table if there's a cancellation. I had such luck this past Sunday for a group of 6 of us (4 adults, 2 children) and it worked out pretty well. The place was pretty stroller friendly and the ambiance inside is really nice. Lots of natural light, open air possibilities, and just a cool little farmhouse feel of sorts. I like their vegan french toast, coffees, and also had their Chive BLT which I definitely recommend. If you're looking for some tasty vegan eats, don't miss out on The Wild Chive...it was named as one of Yelp's Top Brunch spots too for a reason. It's damn good! read more

Chanced upon this cute little spot while walking my dog in the neighborhood. We didn't need a reservation on a Saturday, although the place was a bit packed. We ordered the chick'n French toast, the burrizo, Jamaica and Vietnamese coffee. Everything tasted absolutely delicious! My husband didn't know it was a vegan spot and commented, "wow babe this is the lightest, fluffiest chicken I've had" that's how good their vegan meats were! The service was a bit slow, but that's expected with how busy this place is. I would recommend this place! read more

The food is good the presentation is excellent. Definitely looks like they put time and energy into making it look perfect. I highly recommend a BLT which was really good. We also got the chicken sandwich but I would recommend getting it on a sourdough bread personally. The zucchini fries were excellent, and definitely a must have as an appetizer Service was fine. The waitress was friendly and offered some great suggestions. read more

Every single thing in the wild chive is delicious. It is an absolute delight to eat at a place where you don't have to worry about what ingredients are in your food because they're all plant-based and they're all delicious here. Yes sometimes you have to wait but it's worth it.. read more

So I have been wanting to try this place for a while now. I started following them on IG first and just said that if I'm ever in town I'll give it a try. So I finally made it to the LBC for work and rode an Lyft from my hotel to get here. I really thought they had more to offer from previous posts I had seen. The menu was very limited, but I tried the Wild Shroom Burger and OMG!!! It was amaze balls!!!!! Like melt in your mouth amazing!!!! I only ate half the burger and saved the rest for later. Even after a few hours and warmed up. It still tasted amazing!! I also tried the soju margarita which was really spicy, but good. Just make sure you have some water. Ambiance was great with good vibes and good music playing in the background. I love the indoor/outdoor seating arrangement. Very nice touch!! Overall I loved it and hope the restaurant can stay open!! I love supporting local businesses!! Especially women owned businesses!!! read more

Probably our new favorite vegan brunch place! We randomly found this place since we were in the area and we couldn't believe we didn't know about this gorgeous place. We tried the burrito and got tater tots on the side, it came with a side of vegan aioli. Burrito was flavorful and I liked the tater tots too, they were fresh. We also got their stuffed french toast which was just the best thing I have ever had. It was stuffed with chocolate, bananas and strawberries. I couldn't believe that vegan french toast could taste this divine. I would come back just for this french toast, and would also love to try other things on the menu too. Service is nice, people are friendly. The first time we went on a Saturday we were able to get in without a reservation but when we went again on a Sunday few week later they couldn't accommodate us so I would strongly recommend getting a reservation. If you are vegetarian/vegan and looking for a brunch place, look no further. read more

The food is okay. We had a limited menu today. The pancakes were kind of small. The water tastes good. The staff was awesome they're very friendly great establishment is clean. The food took of normal amount of time to come. But the menu all they had about 10 different choices total of everything including the advertisers that you can order. So that kind of sucked. The food did not look like it looked online. Okay experience. Just happy that everything is vegan. read more

Amazing brunch spot that just so happens to be 100% vegan. Great food, great service, great location.

It's always nice to eat from an all vegan restaurant. The menu is a little on the heavy side. So if you're in the mood for comfort food, then this is it! I had the breakfast in bed sandwich. It's very hearty. Picked fries as my side and did not regret. Fried zucchini is delicious...especially the marinara sauce that comes with it. I got the beignets...not my favorite. They are so heavy; not light and airy. They seemed to be fried sourdough pieces. However, the house made strawberry sauce was delicious. I'd go again. read more

My son and I walked in for breakfast one Saturday. Once we were seated, I discovered it was a vegan restaurant. Now, I am not a vegan and wanted some eggs but I decided to stay and give it a try and I'm so glad we stayed because it made my taste buds very happy. We were so full we had to go for a 2 mile walk after that. Can't wait to go again. They have limited hours. They close early afternoon so get there before 2pm For sure. read more

Love that they have gluten free options and dairy free options. They serve mostly brunch food and I find that they typically have a small line outside every time I go. 4/5 Monte Cristo with a Belgian Cornbread Waffle substitute The waffle wasn't too sweet on it's own, which left you the option of adjusting the sweetness with the maple syrup and strawberry jam yourself. I also really enjoyed the side salad it came with to cut the savoriness of the sandwich. 5/5 French toast with Belgian Cornbread Waffle subtitute It was the perfect amount of sweetness, with the fresh strawberries and bananas complementing the house made hazelnut spread. I would definitely order this again! read more

The food was delicioussssss!! Service was also very attentive! I had the Chikin Sammie with fries and the flavors were great. I wish I had taken a pic of it cut open to show you all. I love chipotle sauces so the spread worked for me. Another big highlight was that they had crispy fries! The Chikin was seasoned well and the texture was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and I would come back. My friend had their BLT and also said it was good. She finished her meal as well. We just wish the tater tots had something else to make it stand out. Overall the vibe in the restaurant was great, it was packed once we left so I'm glad they have the recognition they deserve! read more

Love this place!!!!!! Vegan comfort food yessssss. I ran a 10k & needed vegan French toast immediately. Unfortunately the restaurant is my reservation so we couldn't be seated even though there was a booth open, but whatever, they let me take hard kombucha to go so no complaints. My friend and I ended up taking our food down the street to Gallagher's pub which was a mistake for my liver. However. The food was amazing. My French toast had Nutella-style chocolate in it....and the most amazing whipped cream ever. Strawberries and bananas. It was so much needed. The ambiance is really nice, I wish we could have sit inside here but it's on a nice street by a tattoo place and an Irish pub. We found parking on the immediate side street so pretty much right in front. Parking is usually a battle in this area of Long Beach but it was no problem whatsoever. Place was packed, wish we would have made reservations to enjoy a vegan meal with all our friends. I plan on returning! read more

The Wild Chive is a bright, Vegan breath of fresh air. I didn't realize before coming that everything here is Vegan but even as a meat-eater I didn't miss it. Everything was so fresh and service was off the charts personable. We went with the Chive BLT and the Wild Shroom Burger and both were packed with flavor and left us with enough to take some home. The bread on both just took it to the next level. Reservations are required on the weekends and you don't want to miss this brunch. read more

TL;DR Doesn't matter if you're not vegan, this place is DELICIOUS! I am most definitely not a vegan, but willing to go meatless a few meals a week. This place will satisfy even the hugest meat eater. The food is hearty and tasty. Fried zucchini: I HAVE to order fried zucchini if it's on the menu no matter where I am. This did not disappoint! Crispy short fat spears of zucchini served with marinara and dill ranch. Southern fried chick'n Sammie: The sandwich portions here are huge! The chick'n was hot and crispy, fresh veggies, and the ranch all together was a great bite. The salad side was perfectly lightly dressed with a tangy dressing. Service was so friendly. The interior is bright and airy with exposed wood beam ceiling, so artsy feeling. One downside is parking. Only street parking is available, and depending on what day you go, may be even more limited due to street sweeping happening from 10a-12p on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Just look for the signs and read what day it occurs. read more

AMAZING. I love the fact there's a few all-vegan eateries with brunch options in L.A. County. But this one ... right here... SPECIALIZES in brunch! I've been here several times AND never had a bad experience! it's an eclectic, chill ambiance with great music and activism as a backdrop. I love that! The staff is amazing and answers all my questions! I personally also like watching my food be prepared and there are chefs whipping up specialties through a glass window. I've had the entire menu and I don't think I have a favorite! The pancakes, "egg", "bac'n" are great! I will say the chick'n Sammie is one of my favorite vegan burgers I've EVER had thus far! Their sauces/vinaigrette are fire and made in-house like: hot sauce, [my favorite] the garlic-chive dip! read more

Service is polite and efficient. The food is delicious and while it's in Long Beach there's definitely parking on a Tuesday morning. Clean and a laidback vibe. My mom and I split the stuffed French toast and burrizo; we both agreed they were yummy. The Vietnamese coffee is really good and with hot coffee they offer oat milk as well as vegan condensed milk which is just lovely. Tater tots are nicely seasoned plus crunchy, served with a great chipotle ailoi. Took some beignets to go and despite eating them a couple hours later I could recognize the freshness, pumpkin cream pairing was top notch. Would return. read more

Six years ago, I've had the honor of being the first to review Wild Chive. After my first experience with them at the Long Beach Vegan Festival in 2016, I've followed them to their various locations including Portfolio Coffeehouse, Made by Millworks, and Marina Farmer's Market. I was excited when they opened this brick and mortar a few years ago and we've supported it via take-out during early pandemic. It took us a while to get around to it but we finally got around to dining in at Wild Chive. In all the years we've been eating at Wild Chive, we've practically had almost everything on the menu. For this particular dine-in visit, we had the following: - Classic Caesar Salad https://bit.ly/3aLoLP5 - Fried Pickles https://bit.ly/3zgeOCw - French Quarter Beignets https://bit.ly/3PknLAa Wild Chive truly never ceases to amaze me! Every single bite, every flavor, every texture, just delicious! I can really taste the thought and care that goes into every aspect of the dishes, even right down to the sauces that make me wonder if it's made from scratch. They have this one hot sauce that has a good kick to it and also good flavor. If they bottled that hot sauce, I would totally buy it. Also, the raspberry sauce that comes with the beignets is just perfection! The staff here is nice. The atmosphere is modern, artsy, and spacious. The restaurant receives good airflow too since it's a corner building and they have a large garage door that remains open during business hours. The location is in a part of Long Beach where parking can be competitive but it's not entirely impossible. Even if we parked a block away, it's a cute neighborhood to walk around. read more
