So good! We are so happy that we have this darling breakfast/lunch cafe in the neighborhood! Great waffles, tuna salad, frittata and more! Wishing they were open until 6! read more

Stumbled upon this place today. Never knew it existed. I love breakfast and decided to Try it out. I was seated quickly. It wasn't too busy. I waited for a waitor for about 10 minutes. I came before this pair of other customers but they were served first and received more attention. A little shocking as it wasn't too busy to be that inattentive. The environment here is not that welcoming. Food was good, they have great options. I would come here again to be honest I'm hoping today was just a bad day but I'll try this place out again read more

The ambiance is cozy, it has a relaxed feel with good food. The omelettes & the pan skillet with gravy was delicious!! We left around 1pm & got a free cinnamon roll, we warmed it up once we got home & the frosting is top tier I heard the oatmeal was great with all the sides, will have to try next time. Service was fast & very attentive to us, I would definitely come back again. read more

Disappointed. Hash browns and pancakes were Not good. The country fried steak tasted pretty cheap

Cozy interior, nestled on a hipster-like street. Their cinnamon rolls are delicious. Love the way they serve their oatmeal with some milk and toppings on the side to add to your liking. Skillets are my go to, or any of their omelette. Perfect for a weekend breakfast with the fam, can get busy with limited space. read more

Great food, friendly staff and reasonable prices! I never knew this place was here and I've driven past many, many times. There's plenty of room inside, but on a cool Fall day like today, I recommend sitting outside under the beautiful mature trees. I'll definitely be back again the next time I'm in the area. read more

My husband and I rarely go out for breakfast. We figure we can make it at home for much less. Not today. We decided to finally try this place today. My husband had the chorizo breakfast burrito and I had the country skillet, side of ham and coffee. My husband was impressed and I was too! Everything tasted fresh and so hot! So good! Service was nice. It was a Monday morning, but they were busy a bit. We didn't wait at all. We will definitely come back! Sorry no food pic because I enjoyed the time there! read more

Wanted to try this place because it looked busy most days. Went about noon for a brunch. We were seated quickly at a small table for two in the back. Order was taken within normal time frames, no significant wait. My breakfast omelette and country potatoes arrived and looked basic, no garnishes. My first bite was of the potatoes: barely lukewarm, in fact the second bite almost felt cool in my mouth. Tried the omelette: again it was not hot and the cheese was not melted much. I don't know how long the food sat before delivery to get so cooled off. The atmosphere was like a cheap diner, nothing special. I was disappointed in the food taste and temperature mostly. So many better choices for breakfast menu in Long Beach area. Don't plan to return to the Village Cafe again. read more

Everything was spot on. Efficient and friendly service. Impeccably clean everything. I chose the Macho Hangover Omelette which was fairly mild but held up to generous doses of hot sauce (Tabasco, Cholulu & Tapatio already on hand at the table). Look forward to going back often! read more

What an amazing experience we had at Village Cafe from beginning to end! My husband, 3 toddlers and myself went in and got sat right away. Service was exceptional, food was amazing and the inside of this restaurant was so clean and cute! My husband and I split the Reuben and they were nice enough to split it for us into two separate plates. We also ordered The Duke which was my favorite, you can taste the fresh ingredients and it was full of flavor! For our side we upgraded to French toast and my kids had the 2x2x2 (2 eggs, 2 bacon and 2 blueberry pancakes) we all enjoyed and devoured everything! I highly highly recommend, we will definitely be back! read more

I was promptly greeted by a smiling-faced woman as I walked into Village Cafe. As I am from out-of-town, I was looking for a different breakfast restaurant on the same street (which was recommended by Yelp) but despite driving up and down I couldn't find it. When I saw VC packed with large tables of customers, I figured it was as good a recommendation for the food! I wasn't wrong! I had the Chicken Verde Skillet (Wednesday special). The chicken was caramelized and juicy, the red and green bell peppers tender, the red onion tasty, the salsa verde savory without burning my mouth and whole avocado slices and sour cream on top complemented it perfectly! Although I am not a bread or potato fan, the fried potatoes were delicious and perfectly tender, and the rye toast was just the right amount of crispy brown. The coffee was coffee and it was hot and plentiful - flavorful when amended appropriately with the International Delight and sweetener provided. I like that the table was abundantly supplied with all the necessaries (utensils, condiments and napkins) to use at my discretion. And the ever present hum of happy patrons lasted throughout my breakfast. I can say with confidence, this is a place I will visit again if I have a chance. There's so much more goodness on the menu! read more

Great spot. A little hole in the wall. Great food. Friendly staff. Fresh ingredients. Good spot for a morning breakfast. Greek skillet is great. Wife loved the eggs Benedict. read more

This is one of the best breakfast spots in Long Beach!! Food quality is amazing - prices are very reasonable - best cinnamon rolls in Southern California!!! The service is on point- always make sure that you're doing ok- never had their lunch, but I assume that it's really good- the orange juice is tasty too - the ambience is like a classic café - be sure to come in and grab the 2 x 2 x 2 - or the breakfast burrito!!! read more

Two words..........cinnamon rolls!!!!! Get there early because they sell out. Unbelievably delicious Don't take my word for it. Try them yourself. read more

Cute place. Got sat instantly on a saturday morning. Love that the variety of vegetarian options. I went with the soy chorizo burrito.

Worst experience ever. My parents and I went today around 11:45-12ish obviously I understand it's Sunday and it's busy so we didn't mind the wait but the owner or whoever it was kept calling my name but kept saying never mind and sitting parties of two keep in it was just 3 of us. We kept waiting so I went to go check the list to see what place we were in turns out the paper where my name was was all the way in the bottom under 2 more sheets, completely ignored us sitting parties that came after us, and the servers gave us attitude not even trying to help us out. Didn't try the food or anything read more

This review is only based on their breakfast burritos. Yesterday we ordered a sausage burrito and a veggie burrito to go. They were the worst, we've ever had. Absolutely terrible. I don't know if we'd return for their other breakfast foods, but we certainly won't order the breakfast burritos again. We only ate one fourth of them, then dumped the rest of them. Horrible! read more

Staff is not welcoming and seem bothered by customers. Maybe they are too busy to be friendly.

11/13/22 It's Sunday almost noon & wanted a good ole fashioned breakfast spot with no frills. So we headed to the Village Cafe. Maybe because it's lunchtime & they looked fairly busy or maybe the process in the kitchen is a bit off but it certainly lacked its usual luster. The server who approached us didn't particularly look happy to be there (again, maybe an "off day" for her as well). It took some time for anyone to acknowledge us & take our order so it gave me time to watch & take a pulse at the environs. I ordered a chicken fried steak w/ scrambled eggs with well done home potatoes & hubby ordered a Soyrizo burrito. Of course I opted for sourdough toast because theirs is USUALLY awesome.....not today. At the very least my chicken fried steak was pretty good (definitely way better than Polly's) & my eggs were hot & fluffy good. I usually enjoy the perfectly toasted sourdough bread but today was a miss. It didn't taste as fresh as it usually does. It looked like a team effort because everyone else dropped by instead of our server to attend to us. My home potatoes were not so awesome (because I had it here before & they were perfect). How can something so simple yet perfect be sometimes not so great? read more

Always a great experience. Food, service like it should be, excellent. Go here and enjoy.

Delicious breakfast and great environment and service. We will definitely comeback for another relaxing and delicious breakfast or maybe lunch. Thank You Village Cafe. read more

Unfortunate to drive here find out they close 1:45pm when they advertise they close at 2pm. Bad customer service to turn away customers and not stay true to their own hours. read more

19 bucks for a Breakfast burrito and 1 pancake. This place used to be good and reasonable. Asking for tip on takeout. You aren't doing anything. You're not catering to me. Was the bacon burrito 15 bucks? That's insane. I paid like an idiot. I tipped a buck to the girl wearing a Gucci bracelet. Jesus Christ read more

I stopped by a few months ago for a quick brunch with a friend. On a Saturday late morning, we waited about 30 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. Once seated, the service was attentive, quick, and friendly. We appreciated the drink options, and enjoyed the mimosas. Both of the meals we ordered were great and enjoyable, prices were fair, and overall our experience was great. Would come back if I'm in the area to explore other menu options. read more

I delightful little breakfast spot, clean bright and airy. A good value to meal size and a great staff. We were first time customers and they brought a delicious cinnamon roll on the house. The hamburger was huge the steak and eggs with hash browns were amazing. We will definitely be back! Show them some love folks! read more

I'll start off with what was good... the prices! Especially the kids meal. $6 for a pancake, egg and bacon or sausage. My meal was only $9 for 2 bacons, 2 eggs and 2 pieces of French toast. The food was good. Since I ordered a pretty basic meal, not sure how fancy they could go. Ambiance was cute. Place was very clean. Food came out quick, and while we were seated, it wasn't the most welcoming of an environment. I think they could improve on friendlier customer service, but then again, everyone is entitled to their off days so maybe I came at a stressful time. read more

The line was extremely long on a Sunday morning, but my fiancé and I were able to skip the line by opting for sitting at the counter. The server we got was extremely friendly and attentive. The food I ordered was just so so. I felt the pozole was a bit salty and the chicken salad sandwich was just ok. The breakfast looked great, so I'd definitely be open to trying it again. read more

Review as of 6/29/23 I haven't been to Village Cafe since 2019 I believe and definitely has been remodeled. Also now apparently a new owner as well. The old booths are long gone and definitely alot more room than before. Parking on street and parking available as well next to the cafe. As shown on photos, beautiful seating outside with ample shade. My dad and I ordered the Big Skillet and I had them remove the onions. I liked my skillet, but my mom prefers the hash browns crispier and not mushy underneath the eggs and sausage. Sourdough was super tasty and exactly as I would like my sourdough, some cafes have "cheap" sourdough, just straight up white bread tasting. Don't forget that peach jam!! YUM !My mom had substituted to no bacon and had cooked spinach underneath her over medium eggs which she enjoyed. My mom gave this. a 3 out of 5 because she asked if she can opt for spinach verses bacon, and when we received the bill she was annoyed. The server did her best to rectify and instead of stressing over giving her a dollar less, she gave us the bacon as it came with the meal. Honestly, customer service as I have been in this industry, a dollar off is no biggie. The server was lucky that I liked bacon. I still gave them a 4 because the pancakes were delicious, not dense and not too spongy, if you know what I mean. The prices were decent and I think $13 was not bad for spending on a breakfast meal verses going to IHOP where one can spend $15-19 dollars for a breakfast plate. For a good place and comfy meals and not super fancy but feels almost like home, then this is definitely a great place for everyone! read more
