I was welcomed very warmly when I entered this establishment and the staff was very polite and attentive. I ordered a latte with almond milk and it was pretty good. The farmers omelet I ordered was amazing, but the hash browns were kind of dry and really bland. I would give a five star but everything was only okay and the cleanliness wasn't what I expect when eating out. If I'm in the area there is a good chance I would try this place again.

It was our first time at this cafe. The cafe was under staffed today and full of people. But we decided to wait anyway. Understandably we knew that it was a going to be a while. We waited about 40min until we got a table for 2. We were of course greeted and right away ordered our drinks. We patiently waited and eventually had our food ordered and just took in the ambience and vibe. I could see the servers were very attentive to other costumers and the hostess was pitching in cleaning and setting tables. I could see the team effort. Our table had a little basket with creamers and sugars and Crayons! The "table cloth" was actually a large white piece of paper, so I took the opportunity to doodle while we waited for our food. Eventually we got our food, and it looked great. The portions were large and perfect, and the taste was even better. It made the waiting worth it. I'll definitely come back.

Had breakfast with my son after running a half in Long Beach. We wanted some good post run eats but nothing heavy or regretful. Googled breakfast spots and came across Small Cafe. The wait was less than 10 mins, the staff was super friendly and very accommodating and the place was packed! The tables were covered with white paper so you can doodle with crayons while you sit and wait. Their menu options are enough to satisfy the pickiest of eaters as they pretty much have something for everyone. I had the Farmers omelet (veggie omelet) with ground beef and avocados and it was delish! Very hearty but light. My son had the Spud which has hash browns mixed with meat, egg, and some veggies. Both dishes were nicely portioned. I was only able to eat half. We were both pretty happy with our meals. I'll definitely return. Small Cafe does big thangs! Check them out if you're ever in Naples of the LBC. 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯😊😋

The foods was good but slightly mediocre. The eggs benedict was good but nothing special. The service however was great!

Came in today at 8:30 am to get 2 coffees and the female cashier was not pleasant at all. Supporting small businesses is hard when they have employees who don't value customer service. I could have spent the same amount on Starbucks and been greeted with a smile, thank you and good energy.

Mostly want to keep this place secret. It is the coolest little cafe in Long Beach. Wonderful service and really good food. Fun location. I often get a breakfast that is plated so perfectly it makes me exclaim. The food is high quality and delicious and the value is great. Please don't tell anyone...sshh.

The Small Cafe is great!!! The recent remodel has been such an improvement. It has been totally updated & has a great atmosphere. We love going there for the chilaquiles! Love that salsa they have on it because we love it spicy. This is a definite "RTR Must Do". If you are in the area make sure you stop by. The owners & staff are always so friendly & welcoming. Thank you so much for making this place better. See you all here!

Decent prices, good food, very friendly staff, strong coffee, and very welcoming. I originally walked in to order a coffee to go but ended up having breakfast there because the place was so welcoming (nice decor) and the staff was so friendly (I saw them laughing and talking to their regulars). They also had the news on and my waitress frequently asked if I needed anything else. I ordered loaded hash browns (see pic) and they were delicious. It tasted home cooked, and the coffee was nice and strong. I'll definitely be coming back.
