“ My first time here. Looking for something healthy to eat after a 90mins massage. Went to go check this place out. Yum . Will come back. ”
“ 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! ”
“ Sooooo good that veganism will be easy for you haha. The strawberry cake was the best strawberry cake I've ever had! I was obsessed with the cute latte art on my moringa latte - my friend who has tried almost every other Grain Cafe locations said she has never seen this cute cat art before hehe maybe the Long Beach location is special~ ”
“ I have been there twice and each time I had stomach issues. At the time the food was great- but I wonder now if it was the place Everything was wonderful. I ordered a kale mixed vegetable dish. It had sweet potatoes. Boyfriend ordered a wet burrito. We shared a pomegranate berry smoothie. food was delicious, service was great ambience was cozy. I liked how they put little flowers on our food. We will come back. ”
“ 10/09/24 I am a returning patron because the food here is very fresh and deliciously tasting. My compliments to Nicolas the chef! Great food! When dining inside, you hear some nice upbeat spanish music playing. The establishment is very clean with a hint of mexican decor. Love it! Junior was our server. He did an excellent job at making us feel welcomed and attended. Thank you, Junior! ”
“ 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. I've been coming here ten years and they never miss! ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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! ”
