    EggBred is awesome! I had a great experience partaking on this cool perk while also trying an extra thing from their menu at the same time! My lady and I cashed in on their Chorizo Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwich AND also tried their limited edition New York Style Chopped Cheese toasted sandwich! SooooooOooOoo delicious! What I love about the food here is the fact that it's not even super oily! Whatever they marinate and/or season their chorizo and chopped cheese sandwich with; tastes amazing. They also give you free water if you need something to drink. The customer service from the lady who helped us was really cool/chill along with the chef who stayed until they closed since they close around early noonish. It was our first time at this spot and it definitely motivates me to try their other stuff on their menu next time! Thank you, Evan, Yelp and also the workers at EGGbred!

    Breakfast fulfilled :) In the downtown area of LB. You can drive right pass it if you dont pay attention. Parking is very slim. The joint is pretty big. I was greeted right away. I went with the bacon, eggs and cheese. Food didn't take long at all. First bite the yolk blend well with the bacon. After that everything went down quickly lol. Thank you for wonderful experience!

    Yelp Elite Experience: Eggbred - Long Beach. What a great event!!! The challenge was parking. What the heck, circled the block a few times. Finally parked - probably illegally, but whatever. I had the delicious Bacon & Egg Sandwich. I ordered coffee and it was comped - thank you but I would have paid for it. Really. Other YES received potatoes for free but I was never offered that. Soo sad. Also there wasn't a Yelp party favor. Double sadness. Thank you, Evan, for the opportunity. Ok, bye. @eggbred_longbeach & @yelpla

    Sausage sandwich, bacon sandwich, and two sides of potato swirls.
    Mellanie A.

    First and foremost, thank you Evan, Yelp, and Egg Bred for this Yelp Elite Experience! I had the pleasure of visiting Egg Bred yesterday, and overall, I had a good experience. Fortunately, when I arrived, it was pretty empty. Aside from my complimentary meal, which included the sausage sandwich and potato swirls, I also ordered a meal for my boyfriend. The service was good; the cashier was kind and informative. After about 15 minutes, my order was ready. We decided to eat on their outdoor patio since we had our fur-baby with us. In terms of taste, the sausage patty in my sandwich was honestly a bit overwhelming for me. The patty was oversized and tasted somewhat like an Italian sausage, which I didn't feel meshed well with the breakfast components of the sandwich. The potato swirls, on the other hand, were pretty good. My boyfriend devoured his bacon sandwich and said he'd love to return, so I think I simply ordered the wrong sandwich. On my next visit, I'd probably go for their bacon sandwich. Overall, I can see myself returning in the future. Once again, thank you Egg Bred, Yelp, and Evan for the experience! SYOY!

    Thanks for the experience yelp lbc, Evan, and eggbred. It was easy to come in and check in for the experience. I had the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. We had a choice of all the sandwiches except for the fried chicken or Ben Franklin. We were able to get a side of potatoes too. There's water available. Items are made to order, so it's a minute for the Sandos to be ready. I enjoyed the potatoes, but you have to ask for ketchup. The sandos were a bit dry. Not sure what they can do to make it less dry. Parking is only street parking. No lot available. It's not easy trying to locate, but we got lucky on ocean.

    I really really enjoyed this Yelp Elite Experience! Since I came with my boyfriend who is also Yelp Elite we tried both the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich and the Scramble Me Softly Sandwich. We agreed that we liked the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich better, but both were good. Since I had some of my Scramble Me Softly sandwich leftover I reheated it the next morning and it was still yummy! They also gave each of us a side of the beer battered potatoes which was a nice surprise since we were only expecting the sandwich and they were absolutely delicious! We bought the cheddar chive biscuits and gravy as an additional side and we really enjoyed those as well. They had a nice savory taste to them which was very different than your typical biscuits and gravy. We had to park about a block away, but I really didn't mind the walk to get some extra steps in. The staff was friendly and the decor was very cute and egg themed. We would definitely come here again for a quick yummy and fairly affordable breakfast :)

    Thank you Evan and the local Yelp Community team for organizing and the EggBred folks for hosting, this event was well organized. The process was easy and smooth. In addition to the complimentary sandwich, we ordered an additional item both were pretty good. The down side was, since it was during weekend lunch time, it took over half an hour to get our food. Also, it was very hard for us to find parking nearby. I think this is an excellent breakfast spot for locals who can just order ahead and not worry about parking.

    Many thanks to Eggbred Long Beach and CM Evan for this eggstra delicious YEE (sorry, I'll see myself out...). Got to Eggbred right when they opened this morning at 7am. The resto is located at the bottom of an apartment bldg at the corner of Alamitos and Ocean. Busy area for sure. Since it was early, I managed to find parking in the back in a space that looks reserved for ppl visiting the Leasing Office? In any case, I didn't get ticketed but it could just be because it was so early. Anywho, once inside I checked in and ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese sammy and the nice manager gave me the side of curvy seasoned fries. Everything was freshly made so I took about 15 mins to receive my order. Even after taking it to go, the curvy fries were still warm, crispy and super tasty. I dipped them in ketchup mixed with Cholula hot sauce and it was perfection. Highly recommend! My sandwich was also strong - sausage patty seemed made in house and was ample, egg cooked well, cheese melty, and the sauce complemented the sandwich well. I had read a couple other reviews saying their brioche bun was cold and stale, but I experienced the opposite- bun was soft, warm, and fresh. The only small criticism was the sausage patty was a wee bit dry- but nothing some Cholula ketchup can't fix. Overall, a decidedly positive experience. While staff were making a large order of breakfast burritos - they looked and smelled delicious. Can't wait to try one the next time I stop in. Thanks again for the solid breakfast!

    Loved this event! I always enjoy coming to businesses promoted by Yelp in this area because the food and business are always hidden gems. This one was no exception! It seemed like a popular breakfast spot since the hours are focused on morning and lunch. I got there around 11am on a Saturday and it was busy. The employee at the front was friendly and helped me out quickly, and I ordered the sausage egg and cheese sandwich with the potatoes. It took a bit longer than expected but mostly because of the high volume of orders. The food itself was delicious, everything I expected but with extra flavor and it was fresh and made to order. Thanks as always to the business for hosting and the Yelp team for organizing! Definitely coming back to order more menu items.

    EggBred is a breakfast spot located off Ocean Blvd in Downtown Long Beach. It's just down the street from the Convention Center. I came down to try their Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich and I also got a side of their fried, seasoned potatoes. Their breakfast sandwich ($10) has bacon, a jammy egg, american cheese, and a tangy ketchup on a brioche bun. The ketchup is pretty overpowering and sweet; however, I balanced it out with some cholula. The sandwich was made to order, and it took about twenty minutes to get the order. Their potatoes ($3.95) are freshly fried and seasoned with their spice blend. They are a thick curly wedge fry, and it was a nice bite to go with the sandwich. Thank you to Evan and the team at EggBred for the chance to try out the egg sandwich. EggBred has locations in Seal Beach, La Habra, and Garden Grove. If they ever make another location in LB, then I hope that they choose a location that has a better parking situation in a neighborhood that's less impacted by the homeless population. While I like the sandwich, I can't see myself paying for parking to come here for their breakfast sandwich; however, it is a good breakfast option for visitors who are attending a conference at the LB Convention Center and/or are staying at a local hotel.

    Sausage egg and cheese Potatoes  Biscuits and gravy
    Nicolas J.

    Tried the sausage egg and cheese; was insanely impressed by the potatoes and lowkey they stole the show. I decided to support the business and bought the biscuits and gravy which are worth mentioning. This place is walking distance to my residence and I've been meaning to try it but never did; now I'm a fan and I'll definitely be returning. The sandwich I got I requested scrambled egg. The egg was super fluffy which I liked. Only negative is parking depending on time of day but if you don't mind parking a block away you likely will find something

    HUGE thanks to EggBred and Evan for this experience! It was a long wait for a breakfast sandwich with a side of thick curly potatoes and an orange juice, but it was worth it. The girl Rios behind the counter was fun to have a quick chat before the line behind me got really busy. The place looked clean and the limited outdoor seating is a nice touch as the view outside is amazing.

    Bacon egg cheese
    Noba N.

    Eggbred seems to be a new chain which features breakfast sandwiches along with their burgers. My son who is picky and rarely gives compliments repeatedly expressed that he liked the burger and fries says something lol My son also doesn't like droopy egg and he mentioned he was worried about it but when he had it he said it went really well with the burger. I got the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and it was amazing. Sometimes burgers can be a big commitment and I felt like the bacon cheese and egg was the perfect volume for me. Thank you Evan for allowing me to experience this place and a special shout out to my buddy Charisse for posting the pics on IG which totally reminded me to go. Beyond the food experience I'm very thankful for what Yelp elite has to offer. Good food Awesome community manager Awesome community Wishing Eggbred successful days!

    I made it for Taste of Downtown 2024 and I'm glad I did…read more I will have to say that we had fewer vendors this year than last (2023), which was disappointing, but everything else was the same - from how you could purchase tickets (in-person at the entrances OR online via Eventbrite). Just liek last year, the Taste tickets can be utilised for any of the series in the calendar year, but they do not transfer over to the following year. This year was a bit better organised because of the much closer all the vendors were, although one of the vendors ended up not showing up that year unfortunately. We didn't know until we showed up the first day and realised that the vendor was not present. As usual, parking is free for 2 hours at the nearby parking structure by Ross. And, like last year, I give the entire event a 4/5 stars primarily of the fewer vendors and the lack of notice of vendors dropping out. I also knocked a star off because cars were still passing by on Pine between 3rd and 2nd, and wish that that had been blocked off for pedestrian safety and accessibility because vehicles aren't really stopping at the pedestrian walk signs on Pine, despite LBPD being there - not that they are of any help anyway (something never changes with them, as you can tell).

    The taste of downtown was another a great setting in the heart of the promenade. The majority of…read morethe booth are right off the promenade across from the Ordinaire. There were some restaurants that had booths on Pine Avenue. Bo Beau had a rocking Brussels spouts for only $3 it was enough to share with 2 people. Padres had tostadas that were piled high with Ceviche or Barbacoa. Ordinaire had a great short rib sandwich for $4. The $3 nachos from Beachwood Brewery were great! The 4th Horseman had vegan pizza and pesto pasta for $2. Algegria Cocina Latina had a great tamale coated in a creamy chowder for $2. Parking is free for 2 hour at 51 E.3rd Street. What a fun night can wait till the next one.

So 5 hours later, I'm pretty sure I'm still hammered, but my friends and I had so much fun. We hung out in the VIP area for a little while, and tried to add up in ounces how much beer we had drank and I think we were at a 40 and a tall boy....this is after 1 hour at the event. So it was time to slow down a tad and we did that at the Yelp booth. We played Yelp corn hole (best game ever) and chatted with some of our favorite Yelpers. All in all I think we will do this again should the Taste of Brews come back to the LBC.

    I confess I used to hate beer. I'm still usually a wine drinker when given a choice, but my…read moreappreciation for beer has continued to grow. This festival provided numerous opportunities to learn about and taste a variety of the brown and tan colored rainbow that is beer. It was a beer lover's dream! Lagers and ales, ciders and stouts, this festival had them all. A four ounce mini beer mug gave drinkers the chance to have a decent taste while leaving room for the many other varieties available. They gave us tickets for the tastes upon arrival, but none of the breweries really collected them. Even if they had, there were still more tickets than I could have used in one afternoon. The breweries and brews present change from one year to the next, so I won't bother listing them here (although they are available on the website). It was nice to taste a different brew from a trusted brand, and then try a brewery I had only heard of (or maybe never heard of)! This year's festival was held on a warm day, but the ocean breezes made the festival very pleasant. So pleasant that groups of people laid out in the grass all afternoon. Well, maybe it was the alcohol that did that; I can't say for sure. :P But hey, the more people "relaxing", the shorter the lines (which were usually relatively short to begin with). The Yelp booth had some games and prizes (that Yelpstick came in handy on a sunny day!). I think there's an opportunity here; it would be cool if there were more non-drinking activities throughout the festival to give people a break from drinking. All in all, it was a very pleasant festival full of friendly people. Considering the free flowing alcohol, I was pleasantly surprised that I did not witness anything really bad. I was lucky enough to win tickets to Taste of Brews (thanks,Ryan!), but if I hadn't, the price is pretty decent for a real drinker, especially considering the variety available. They had lots of small bottles of water, which is a necessity when alcohol is unlimited. Security was very present, but I didn't see anything unpleasant. They made people laying down on the grass get up and keep moving (toward the end of the festival), but everyone seemed nice. After drinking on an empty stomach, I learned two lessons- eat before coming, and take a tip from the pros- wear a pretzel necklace to absorb the booze. Pretty simple yet clever! My little suggestions to make the festival better- a map of the breweries to help you find the ones you want to try most, better line organization (more room), and more seating areas for those buying food from the food trucks. Overall, there was a lot of time to enjoy a lot of craft brews, so I'm a fan.

    The Queen Mary's Dark Harbor presented a special Valentine's event called Dark Masquerade February…read more13th & 14th. It was the first time they hosted a masquerade, and they killed it! Dark Masquerade has scare actors like their usual Dark Harbor season, along with some horror experiences and a dance party. It's open from 7PM-12AM, but be sure to arrive early so you can experience everything they offer. Upon entering the Queen Mary, you walk through the corridors and see glimpses of their horror props to set the mood. It leads to the dance floor (aka The Ringmaster's Dark Masquerade), which is massive and blasts killer dance tracks. You're given complimentary masquerade masks once inside, so no worries if you don't bring your own. Speaking of fashion, it was a mixture of casual and people going all out for the masquerade theme. If you fear you'll be overdressed, there's no such thing here! Some of the masquerade costumes/masks people had were pretty impressive. There were three horror experiences: (1) Gale's Requiem - descend six fathoms deep into the ship to see the experiments of a mad doctor, ending with Gale's performance as she sings for the dead. There's several tables surrounding Gale so feel free to take your time. There's also a photo-op on your way to the elevator. (2) The Search For Mary - you're given a single red glowstick and must make your way through dark corridors as Scary Mary haunts you. While the idea behind it has potential, it's literally pitch black and the glowsticks are too dim so it's a wee bit too hard to navigate. I walked into a wall because you can't see anything and the scare actors aren't helpful in directing any poor soul that gets stuck. My wife got claustrophobic and she absolutely hated a part where you get on a catwalk and they simulate it about to drop. (3) Sweethearts' Slaughterhouse - groups are ushed through a bloody restaurant and must work together to piece together the menu of a deranged chef and his killer kitchen staff. It was fun as it was interactive with others, so play nice and everyone will have a good time. The horror dummies/gore was pretty crazy to see (some of it brings to mind Hellraiser). The experience ends with a choice of leaving through a hallway or crawling through an oven (vent). Our group chose the oven, which is a bit unforgiving if you have weak knees or are wearing any fancy clothes. Fyi there's a slide at the end of the oven so be sure not to fall like a cartoon character (like I did). Overall the horror experiences were cool, but the main thing we loved was The Ringmaster's Dark Masquerade. They also have scare actors on the dance floor to help keep your blood pumping. If you're worried about being the only ones dancing, fear not - once it got going, it didn't stop until the end of the night! It's a 21+ event, so there's bars/alcohol throughout the ship (naturally it's expensive). For food it's really just snacks like churros, pretzels, popcorn, cupcakes, chips, etc. If you want some fresh air, there's a jazz stage outside for a more chill time. They also had hookah tables outside if you feel the need to do that. I hope Dark Masquerade becomes a regular off-season part of Dark Harbor because it's way too much fun to be a one-off! Even if you don't like horror, the masquerade dance party was worth the price of admission. Try not to wear heels though because the ship is tricky to walk through as is (not to mention the grated catwalks). Strobe lights and fog machines are used in parts of the experiences. There's a special merch store located inside if you want a goodie/memento for the night. Dark Masquerade returns for the next 2026 Friday the 13th weekend in March, so don't hesitate to get tickets if you can!

    It's been a while so an update is due…read more The highlights: -They've increased security for scare actors as well as DH patrons. *At first I was confused why I was being followed as the last one in mazes, then realized they were tracking things for everyone's safety. -They've increased first responder presence as well. I watched a few fire performances and the LBFD were checking in on their set times to be present. - The decor and makeup were done really well. I'd say a step above Knott's. - The hookah people were so so sweet! - Whatever fries they're selling with cotija, creama, meat, and spicy sauce get it. The price is on the high end, but my goodness they fill up two people! -The performances were awesome! I would try to plan on seeing the slider show, the "sideshow," and at least one of the fire performances on the major stage. -The bus from the park back to downtown was a refreshing thing to see. The misses: - Some things weren't explained or occupied which made things confusing. The boat near the whole bayou area where the voodoo queen reigned... You just walked through it and looked at stuff. There were no scare actors or anything. It was just an empty boat. - Some mazes required you to go up entire flights of stairs or dropped you off at them. It was weird. *certain mazes had accessible entrances but it didn't change everything to my knowledge. - Some mazes were not well-ventilated and really hot. - Having to leave on plywood boards oddly placed across the park's uneven ground made things rough for some. I had to help a man in a powered wheelchair who got stuck in the predicament. There's room for improvement, but it's also a decent haunt considering the talent.

(I didn't review this year's other 2 Taste events, East Village and Pine Ave but I do have a rant on how they no longer offer an extra 2 tickets if purchased online ahead of time. They have the nerve to charge a fee now so I wouldn't even bother paying for them online when I can get them at the event. Also, they're not accepting previous year's yellow tickets. The new tickets have the year on it so it must be used up at Waterfront. Lastly, the menu isn't pre-posted on the website anymore. I really liked being able to preview what items each vendor was offering so I can plan.) Slight change of location this year. Instead of being in the area in front of Gladstone's and The Pine Ave Pier boardwalk, this event was situated in a fenced-in area east of the spiral staircase, closer to Shoreline Village. As in all events, there was a ticket booth at either end. Auld Dubliner usually offers a tasty bite but this time they only served alcohol. These events seem to be getting smaller every year. There were only 7 vendors with actual food. That doesn't count the liquids from Plant Junkie and Thickshake. Of the 7, Parkers Lighthouse only offered one item. It was appreciated that Q Smokehouse (previously Famous Dave's) offered a jackfruit slider for those avoiding meat. If you're not in-the-know, jackfruit is all the craze lately as a replacement for pulled pork. The awesome thing about this year, those attending the first night were treated to a pretty decent firework show from the direction of the lighthouse. I really wasn't expecting much of it but it was on par with the Queen Mary firework show on Independence Day. Had it not been for the fireworks, I would have rated 2 stars instead of 3. 10% discounts on 5 businesses at Shoreline Village was available with the map/menu in hand, 15% for Pirates Cove.

Wè attended since we still had leftover tickets from the Pine Śtrèèt event. This is consideràbly smàller than the other two. (Ten booths but heavy on the ałçohol) Parking was more expensive and inconvenient. Thè shuttle bus îs the bettèr choice. It is a good venue for restaurants to develop a following. Cafe Sevilla has become a favorite for us. Last night we had tasty ribs from Q Smokèhouse and good mac and cheese from Gładstone's We will try both for happy hour. Parkers Lîghthouse did little to make a tuna slider àppealing. Mostly à dry day old bun, or so it seemed. Parkers has decent food bût one wouldn't kñow it from łast nîght. The entry ticket booth was positioned iñ an odd way. The space encompassed a separatè cigar mixer. Who knew? As we ate in the comfy seats, Î noticed the crowd was just drinking beer from a bar booth (The Stave). They seemed as anxious as ałert seagulls waiting a nibble to drop. Also, à lady tried to sell me property. But I àlready have a bridge in Brooklyn.

    Good news first; the staff are friendly. If you like quiet places, this is for you. If you don't…read morelike crowds, this is for you. The building itself is pretty. If you get overstimulated very very easily this is perfect for you because there's honestly hardly anything there to overstimulate you. The loudest and most exciting thing there was someone's R2-D2 robot prop-toy (which was pretty cool ngl) Bad news: This was quite possibly the most boring con I have ever been to in my 25 years of living. I can't believe I spent over $50 of my hard earned money on this slop. To just get 1 WATER BOTTLE at the vending machine is $11... There is hardly an artist alley, I didn't see any artist booths in the artist alley. The exhibit/merch section was also mostly barren. I've been to comic con ran events before such as wonder con, which is wonderful!... I've been to smaller events like anime Ontario which was great! Honestly, this wasn't anything like wondercon. I'm so disappointed. It feels more like an old folks home than a convention. Conventions typically should be more exciting than this ... My bestie and I got so bored we left the con and walked across the street to the aquarium and had more excitement watching fish list aimlessly in a tank.

    Comic con? More like FraudCon. I paid $75 for the weekend and had high hopes. The staff were…read morefriendly and helpful and the star is for the staff alone (and the gorgeous convention center). This venue was reduced to two tiny rooms, the "Artist alley" barely had any artist booths inside (maybe like 3 or 4). The rest were just booths of voice actors or vendors selling overpriced comics and funko pops and essential oils for some reason??? My sister and I have been to several conventions in the past (AX, Anime Pasadena, Wondercon, etc) and usually, you will find a large amount of cosplayers walking about. But here, we felt foolish bc there were very few cosplayers other than us. Very few people at all really. It was quite sad. We only lasted like an hour and 20 minutes of that hour was the line. Also, to add insult to injury, I am not a huge fan of one of their rules regarding the wristbands. If I pay for a ticket, have a receipt and proof of purchase, then why would I ever have to purchase ANOTHER weekend pass for losing a flimsy paper wristband?? Although I did not lose my wristband myself, it just seems like a racket to me. You might as well just start handing out lanyards and badges instead like other conventions...that way it's much harder for people to lose them.

    Well, it took 5 days to add this as a business, and it was posted on the phone application for Yelp…read moreunder events, but like the others, you could not check in! Better late than pregnant I always say! ============================================================ The city of Long Beach has pushed the elements, gangs, thugs & the ilk out of this area (One of many in progress) and made way via landscaping & reinventing a section of Bixby Park that not only hosted this event, but hosts other venues as well. And on a cloudy, humid, but cooler rain pending Monsoonal day, my Yelp friend Steph H had her eclectic, unique & one of a kind visionary pieces on display for a completely different journey for the eyes, visually taking you from polar bears to butterflies & more amidst others during this much overlooked Long Beach venue. Many other vendors at this event in numbers around 40-50 were offering up many crafts, handmade items, art work in water colors, oils & charcoals, some were works in progress right before your eyes-such talent and great people of many ethnicities made this event a must come & see for every citizen in the LBC! Strolling along, coffees & teas are offered up by a vendor to perk up your senses, stimulate your buying bug or, to cool you down, but what ever you needed, even a cart with churros & chips was there for the "I need to call Jenny Craig" crowd too at prices that won't break the bank! A live band, A-Capella performers, and other live entertainment, made for a few hours of a much needed get out of the house, you work from home way to much MP Saturday, and I'll for sure be back to see what's happening among an ever so crowded lightly venue at the Park known as Bixby, for The Annual Art in the Park-Long Beach. You may even purchase raffle tickets for great prizes, which proceeds go to making this venue possible & more! My fellow Yelpers, keep your eyes open, read those event tabs here on Yelp and look for this venue so as no to miss out, it is listed among many others, and is a nice addition. If nothing else you get to socially interact with many citizens of Long Beach in an environment once off limits to the decent & law abiding. I was delighted to see Steph, her extraordinary work, the talents of others, and hang out with my good Yelp Buddy Dave G. *Most of all, I enjoyed watching the children utilizing the park, swings, jungle gyms, slides and other "Be a, or be a kid just once" attractions feeling safe as parents watched not having to be hyper-vigilant, along with the presence of the LBPD too making sure that this event and others like it continue to bring back our city for what it is known for-Diversity Ad infinitum. Go on, look for the next one, even if you just go to do this, you won't be disappointed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrGLNtZ0rEg

    Thanks to Michael P for getting this page up, despite all odds, lol! This annual event, occurring…read moreevery July, helps raise funds for Long Beach's historic Bixby Park, an awesome neighborhood park that's definitely on its way back from neglect and abuse and is being rediscovered by its residents! I first became aware of this event through Nancy O'Neil, another local Long Beach artist whom I met at an art show I had at Sasha's Living With Style. She's a real local arts activist and is also behind the Long Beach Women's Art Show in December. Anyway, she invited me to be a part of this event and I thought it'd be awesome to be able to show some art close to home and benefit my community as well. As a participating artist I made a donation to the Friends of Bixby Park but didn't have to pay any other fee or commission from my day's sales. It was a great opportunity to connect with other local artists, musicians, vendors and residents, and I felt it was a worthwhile thing for me to do. If I could say anything about how to make this event better, it would have to be increased publicity and artist participation. A lot of people who came by didn't even know this event was going on, and just happened to be randomly at the park. They were happy and excited to see the event, but I wish more people had known about it. However, I'm hoping that with listings like this on Yelp with reviews by established Yelpers like me and Michael P, that the word will spread and the event will only get better. Thanks to all the friends and family who did show up, however--your support was VERY much appreciated!

Because it's a short walk from Belmont Shore, we typically have brunch nearby so that we not only find a convenient parking spot, but are well caffeinated before taking on the wares of the day. They do have a variety of food trucks available on-site too if get hungry mid-shopping. The saving grace is usually the shaved ice truck, cause it can sometimes get so hot out and it provides a nice little sweet relief. I love that it's free and there's always a good variety of things to look at. Be sure to bring some sunscreen, a hat, and maybe a tote bag in case you score a lot of goodies.

    *** Chocolate Fest was not the best ... ;( ***…read more But we had a good time, I must confess. The sun was out, even a rainbow appeared. It's just too bad, better chocolates weren't here. My lil son was excited, trembling with glee. He bit the first cake then looked sadly at me. So we moved on to search for lil dark delights 'til we stumbled upon pookies ... gooey, alright! The pookies were good, but really just a tease. Son wanted more ... this was a fest, you see? So we continued along Second looking for more. Blindly seek'n chocolates ... going door to door. Finally we saw Andrea & Erin; oh, what a sight. They bought us some crepes without any fight. We avoided that line. Devoured these crepes. They were strawberry filled, chocolatey draped. Son quiped "more". I said "you gotta be kid'n"? So we scampered along for somethin' mo' fit'n. Soon we reached La Strada, an Italiano café. Mousse filled with gelato really made my day. I ate this with pleasure; I was happy as can be. My lil brat said "oh nooo ... none of that for me"! So to Jamba Juice we went, where he gotta smoothie. I gulped a wheatgrass shot; hmm, that's kinda groovy. After a day of this fest, kid had to getta juice to smile? That tells me that this fest must improve after 'while. ;( *** For 2011: quality and organization must be better. ***

    My girlfriend, lil bro, and I went here earlier and it was packed. There are a lot of people since…read moreit's also Saturday. We went to the front of Chase so we can get our $10 for 12 tickets, which it is a pretty sweet deal. We tried the Chocolate covered Rice Krispy from Legend's Sport Bar and it was good. One of the items I remembered cause it's gooey, crispy, marshmallowy, chocolatey goodness. We walked next block towards PCH and tried chocolate covered items such as oreos at Peet's Coffee with a complimentary brewed coffee. The chocolate covered oreos are delicious as well. Then we went to Taco Surf and they served Chocolate Tamales and is my favorite of all this festival's item. Taste like tamale, but in a deep chocolatey flavor.. Super gooood and can't say no more :) Moving on, next stops are Cheese Addiction's cheese brownies and Brix in the Shore's Bacon Chocolate Bread Pudding. The cheese brownies are ok and the Bacon Chocolate Bread Pudding is the bomb! It is quite unique.. Mixing chocolate and bacon together is an excellent idea. Salt and sweet together almost always are the better pairing. Then we went to Roe Express, they serve chocolate bars; their popular one is the Macha Green Tea chocolate.. Unique and melt in your mouth sweetness! Next we went to Shannon's for the chocolate martini, but costumer service sucks and they are lazy to serve us cause the reason is they're busy, which is not an excuse if you signed up to serve in this Chocolate Festival. That was a dissapointment, but moving on.. Lastly, we went to Frosted Cupcakes and guess what they serve chocolate cupcakes and this time is for cheaps. 1 ticket per cupcake is a really good deal, so we decided to spend our last tickets in it. Each of us ordered 3 cupcakes and 9 overall. Too bad, we didn't get to try the Urban Table's chocolate menu, however we had fun trying each and every restaurant's chocolate samplers. I was going to give it a 5 star, but Shannon's costumer service mess it up for us. PS: Hopefully, next year they'll make at least until 6pm so we can try more
