My partner and I were talking a stroll down our new neighborhood, and quite literally SMELLED the delicious food before seeing this place. It was almost cartoon-like the way we just followed our feet toward the warm buttery smell of a local diner. We probably got lucky since it was just two of us and spots were available at the counter right when we got in! We sat down, and were greeted right away with a smile and a fresh pot of coffee. Menu is extensive for such a cozy spot! Health is also highlighted in their menu..plenty of options to enhance the menu to your needs. My partner got the turkey omelette sub egg whites, and I got the French toast combo w/ a side of potatoes (10/10). The atmosphere is amazing, and we love businesses that highlight artists as well (you can scan under some of the art displayed to learn more). Service is friendly and efficient. When you walk-in, you get a sense that you’ve been there before. And that’s a very comforting feeling for a first timer (:

Great place for breakfast. I'm vacationing from out of town and I eat here every morning. The waitress, Cameron, is awesome too.

I love having Breakfast or Lunch at Coffee Cup on my days off. I've ordered Omelets, sandwiches, pancakes etc and haven't been disappointed. If you want to try something different, try the cream cheese french toast, you don't be disappointed. The coffee is delicious I can honestly say the best in Long Beach. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Clean and comfortable environment.

Nice friendly place with good service. They sever vanilla coffee regularly. ☕️ had the ABC omelet and it was good. Parking is difficult.

So lets talk about the Coffee Cup Cafe located in Long Beach CA. I order the same plate for years now and I do not plan on changing my order. Hanks Chicken Chili Verde is my go to there. That plate coupled with the flavored coffee is the way to start off the day. You might see me sitting at the bar mowing through a plate. Make sure you say hello

Food is portioned. I've had a heftier plate elsewhere. The food is okay. The pancakes are okay, not the fluffiest. They're charging .50 per egg based on the plate you've ordered so for example, I ordered the French Toast combo & it comes with 2 eggs & 2 Sausages or bacon. They charged an extra $1. They say it's due to the increasing price of eggs. Went when it was busy, was sat right away, but only got a refill on my coffee once-which was when I was already done with my food. Waiter passed by us so many times, but never checked in on us until we were done with our food. I'd say go spend $60 for two elsewhere, where the service is a tad better & food is much tastier-but that's just me 🤷‍♀️ Oh! They have 3 restrooms, which is a plus for when it gets packed

Ate here on a Friday morning. Had banana nut pancakes, a side of bacon and earl grey tea. Other patron had french toast with substitute links. Service was friendly. Cute place. Food was just OK to us. That's butter not whip cream on top of the bananas. $38 for decent portions.

Small cafe in the area that is cash only and old school. I’ve been here on multiple occasions and it’s always a good standard breakfast place. The food is solid and has great prices. The thrills and tricks of brunch spots can always be fun, but if you are looking for a solid breakfast place and have some cash on you then you’re in luck. My recommendation is the pancake plate- sometimes chocolate chip pancakes are needed for adulting.

I have been a fan of Coffee Cup Cafe for years! Their food and service has always been top notch! Very consistent! They have local artists on their walls year round as well. This has been a staple of the community for a long while, and I can't wait until the next visit. I love that they offer vegetarian chorizo. Their eggs are well done. The owner once recommended their chicken quesadilla, and it was exceptional. Making me hungry thinking about it. Thanks Coffee Cup Cafe!

Place was packed, and it's been a while since we've been to the coffee cup, though it was the Huntington Beach location. We remembered the food and service was really good at a very affordable price. Didn't come in with major expectations other than it should be somewhat decent. Come to learn that the place changed ownership and it showed: Service: while our waitress was kind, her finger touch the food when she served one of then plates. Just nasty. When she brought an extra dish, it had film and residual food on it. Was pretty obvious but kinda disconcerting that it had to be pointed out to her: Food: Chorizo scramble:. Not good. It tasted sour like too much vinegar or something. Portions were decent but not enough to offset the bad taste. Blueberry pancakes: Spongy, not fluffy. Little greasy. Meh at best. Overpriced for quality. For a few bucks more, can get quality breakfast elsewhere. Won't be returning.

I've been here twice and the breakfast food is good! Staff is friendly & welcoming! Our coffee cups were always be refilled during eveyr passing moment. Come try this place out for breakfast/lunch one day. I would suggest coming early to avoid the long wait times during the weekends! Tip: There are parking around the neighborhood of the restaurant if you can't find any! :)

Our plans took a turn and I knew this was a place to potentially pass by. We had this marked to make a stop at and Sunday was it. It's quite a big place but you walk in and it's a nice diner. I'm thinking the owner sat us down herself. They have a long bar to sit at, and the help was on is right away. I'd been looking for a new chicken fried steak plate to match the one I had to leave town for and thanks to David, I found it. I couldn't find much wrong with the plate. It was perfectly crispy, and in my opinion, the gravy was really good. The potato's were well seasoned and crunchy so I was more than satisfied with the overall dish. My girlfriend enjoyed her pancakes, eggs and sausage and agreed with some of my dish. The highlight that came a little late was the biscuit. I asked for a hit of whipped butter and they brought me some to slap all over my biscuit. Talk about the perfect ending to breakfast. I also love that they have pebble ice in their water. This place is definitely in my breakfast lineup!

Been here a few times and tried a few items. Service is still on point and the food as well. The chicken plate is one of my go to options and a safe choice when I don't want to be adventurous with the menu. Came here with a few friends who've also been fans. Worth a try if a local or a visitor for sure.

Excellent breakfast spot! Expect that downtown Long Beach street parking. We went on Sunday morning, wasn't too bad. The ambiance is bright, airy, friendly customer service and efficient. Tables, counter, and booth seating. Our party of 3 was present, we were seated right away. All the breakfast items we had were tasty. Don't sleep on the blueberry pancakes- good texture, moist, you could really taste the blueberries, i feel like I tasted a small hint of cinnamon. Corn beef hash is the way we like it (see pic), breakfast potatoes were good seasoned, with slight crisp texture, my egg whites fluffy, Spanish enchilada sauce is tasty , breakfast hamburger patty good! Hollandaise is also good, French toast is also good with good texture, lightly powder sugared. A definite repeat ! Added to our favorites :) Used to be cash only, but they accept card now!

My personal favorite breakfast place in Long Beach Part of me didn't think they needed my yelp review since they do so well and there's a line outside on weekends lot of the time. The photo is a veggie scramble, which was delicious if you want to avoid some meat. Speaking of meat, I love her corn, beef, hash, and eggs, Old-school diner style corned beef hash. I enjoy their black coffee, they use "Boyds" if you're familiar with Boyds, it's pretty good . They serve lunch as well, but I don't think I've ever ordered lunch because I love breakfast and they do breakfast so well. Also, they have three different salsas to choose from that they make in the house which our absolutely delicious. You really can't go wrong with coming here for breakfast or bringing out of towners to show off a good breakfast place. Check them out. See what you think.

Oh the food.... This place used to be the bar set high for every other breakfast lunch / shop in Long Beach and now it's simply garbage. I work in the industry, and have for over 25 years, my wife and I used to eat here sometimes two times a week before the new owners. Now, I do not recommend it as the prices have gone up, service down (except Jose who is and will always be the best server in LBC) and the food...smh BAD. See the attached photo of the burger my wife sent started eating fast because she was on her lunch break from work and it turned out to be bloody raw. Worse part the new owner offered her 50% off her meal the next time she came in. Guess what? She went back, taking a friend and ordered another burger and went to pay the bill. When she reminded them about the 50% comp for the RAW HAMBURGER. When the owner who was taking tickets came back, they only took 10% off and said they didn't remember what happened. Waste of time. Bad food. Bad Service. Bad Ownership and a huge decline from a destination place that we've literally brought dozens of people to over the last ten years.

I have eaten here and taken items to go. Every time I liked their food. The wait can be long as this place is popular, and for a good reason. Parking can be a bit hard to find, and this place is cash only.

This place a such a gem in Long Beach and arguably the best breakfast in the city! My wife and I have been coming here since we first started dating 12 years ago, and the food is still just as good! We always get the Baja burrito with steak, and it always hits the spot. I enjoy a cup or two of coffee as well, their freshly ground and brewed coffee is always smooth and never burnt. Everyone is always friendly and the service is fast and attentive. The cafe always gives off mom and pop vibes and is well maintained. Very nostalgic for my wife and I so we try to visit at least a couple times a year.

Coffee Cup is the place to be! On a Tuesday because there's no wait. They offer all the brunch things: omelettes, scrambles, south of the border collabs - you think it, they have it. The omelette selection is quite imaginative and offers a little more than your standard Denver type omelette. I was drawn to The Boss' Favorite ($13.95) because it has turkey bacon, muenster cheese, tomatoes, red onions, and topped with avocado. While I like all of these items individually - mixing them altogether in an omelette didn't quite do it for me. After this omelette experience, I've come to the conclusion that I prefer unadulterated forms of muenster cheese (sliced) and red onion (raw). A slight miss however the eggs were fluffy and the avocado was creamy. This won't deter me from trying more of their original creations. My friend, on the other hand, very much enjoyed his scramble. He got a side of tortillas and proceeded to fashion the scramble into breakfast tacos. I'd suggest you do the same if you're into that type of breakfast vessel. I also loved the table salsas. They paired perfectly with my omelette + the breakfast tacos. I'll be back. After all, Coffee Cup Cafe is Long Beach brunch royalty.

Great breakfast spot. Food was delicious and service was amazing. The variety of the menu was a perk for our large family group.

The place was empty this morning. I use to love this place but it has fallen into the wrong hands we ordered this morning. Why did it take more than 40 minutes to serve our food on a slow day the service was horrible we ended up leaving without eating. We paid our bill and left. What was upsetting about the situation. The manager took our money without asking what happened instead he bashed us like if it was our fault. He was a rude owner with no management skills With this kind of attitude. He doesn't deserve great customers like you and I. The breakfast bar is way better or the pot holder Skip this place and keep driving up the street to the pot holder Never again will we eat here

There was a scheduled neighborhood power outage at my home so I decided to come here for breakfast and write in my journal/organize my calendar in my weekly planner. The first time I came to this restaurant, I was sorely disappointed that they were a cash only business (I have hardly carried any cash post-pandemic) so I turned around and went to another business. They do have a sign stating they have an ATM machine for those who don't have cash. This time around, I came with cash and excited to try some place new. Upon arrival (Friday morning), I was greeted by such friendly staff. I had my choice to sit anywhere in the restaurant so I opted for a booth in the corner. I had a healthy sandwich with sprouts, avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, bacon, tomato, and cucumber on wheat. I opted for a side salad instead of fries. Everything came within minutes after ordering. The diner was busy but it didn't bother me as I spent time in my journal writing my morning pages. I really enjoyed this place and look forward to coming back. I enjoyed the art display on the walls. Parking wasn't a challenge for me but it wasn't easy. Without a dedicated lot, I had too circle around once to find a decent spot.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Dependable, tasty breakfasts, with a wait. This place always gets so dang crowded on the weekends we generally avoid it unless we can get there before 9am, but since the first place we were going to was unexpectedly closed, we bit the bullet. Luckily, however, since it was around 11:30am and we were ok with the low counter seats (the ones that make you feel like a kindergartner, lol), we didn't have to walk too long. I got the Sal's Enchilada Eggs with Coffee and the hubby got Michelle's Tostadas with a Pepsi. I feel like they'd changed up the menu somewhat since we last visited, perhaps for the better. We enjoyed our food (especially their homemade salsa) and the service was nice. This is why the coffee cup is so popular.

Breakfast in Long Beach! So many choices and ALL within walking distance! I had the Corned Beef Hash and never have I had it rolled up like this. Mine has always had the browning from the pan in the plate Side leaving the hash chunky looking. Well, I tell you, such a small difference bright the browned flavor out that much more! Very good! This came with home fries, just normal, not my favorite. And sourdough toast. We are all the jams in the table and then I started wondering why in earth they do single use containers when their salsas and syrups are delivered in pouring pitchers? The half and half too. That I can understand better, cuz if they are busy and some one wants creamer it's right there. I'd prefer to ask for milk and so that came in a tiny pitcher. To top off the meal, as we were walking home I was admiring the pruning of a plumeria and the home owner came out to say we could talks both trays of clippings she'd left. A nice conversation with Phyllis. Her daughter has a place in Costs Rica too! But their spanish is not coming along as fast as ours. Oh well. It was a lovely conversation.

Our favorite brunch spot. Almost everyone is amazingly sweet. They recognize you and welcome you back. My go to is the ABC omelette. My partner gets the soyrizo burrito. Both are delicious! I always get a side of refried beans and grilled jalapeños. Today we got the stuffed French toast. It's a bit loud and usually busy, but still very pleasant. We love it there.

CASH ONLY!! They do have an ATM machine available but they do not take credit cards!! The wait here isn't too bad compared to other brunch spots in Long Beach and the food is great!! Noise level is average. They have some cute paintings on the wall. The decor is very simple and clean. I had the California burrito and it surely filled me up. They gave a lot of meat and fries in it and it was very tasteful. The French toast wasn't too bad. The staff are very friendly and approachable

Came here for brunch and was definitely happy for the bang for the buck you get here. I'll do a pros and cons to make it easy. Pros - Food is pretty good with big portions - The service is actually good and the employees are really kind - Definitely gives off an old school ambience indoors with a big menu Cons - Cash only unfortunately. They do have an atm but hate paying those fees - They only have half and half creamer for the coffee Overall, it's an easy 4/5 with the service, food and, prices all being great.

Visited on 09/15/23. I was first introduced to this place by my oldest son. Famous for their omelettes, which I've had, but this time around I just got the Two Egg Breakfast which includes one of the following: sausage, turkey sausage, bacon, turkey bacon. Served with toast and potatoes. The ambiance gives off a small town feel. Service was great. Only negative was that our table was wobbly but my husband took some sugar packets and stuffed it under a table leg to fix it lol. *NOTE: cash only - they have an ATM inside.

Love, love, love this place. The food is delicious and you can not go wrong with anything on the menu. It is all good!! The Hanks chili verde is our go to. But I promise you won't get a bad plate of food. (We just miss the mountain of potatoes. A lot less now) ‍ They rotate the coffee flavors as well and it just smells divine when you walk in. To say we love this place is to say we visited first thing when we came back from college in Iowa. First before seeing our families. Lol Place is clean, food is great and service is fantastic. Weekends.. you will have to wait a little, but it's worth it! Enjoy!

It's been awhile since I originally tried Coffee Cup Cafe, so I thought i would try again. I wasnt too thrilled with it last time i went, and wanted to give them another shot. I kind of wished I had chosen somewhere else. Arriving to it on 4th street, it wasn't too hard to find street parking on a Sunday morning. Walked up to it and wrote my name on the sign in. I noticed nobody had wrote down counter seating and it was wide open. As I walked inside to sit at the counter rather than wait inline for a booth, some older lady kind of looked at me, not in a welcoming way. She never said good morning or welcome or anything pleasant like that, and didnt say her name nor have a uniform on or branded tshirt, so I really had no idea who this person was. No greeting at all but some awkward confrontation of sorts. I asked her about sitting at the counter and she stated i could sit at the end of the counter at the last two seats. I didnt want to sit there, because it seemed to much where traffic happened and just wasnt feeling those end seats and the feng shui of it. She stated that even the counter seats are part of the the wait list. Again, there was no one requesting counter seats on the wait list, so I don't know why she said that. After awhile, people came in that wanted counter seats and she directed them and some got the seats we originally wanted. She kept placing people right next to each other. Mind you, we were just a party of two, so we weren't going to be throwing off any seating spaces. During our meal the host kept coming over to where I was eating and grabbing menus from the side, rather than having them up front where a host usually stands to greet people. Throughout the meal, she kept walking around and watching people, not engaging or servicing, but just being very overbearing I would say. Although the food was good. The french toast and coffee were delicious, her lame attitude and how she policed the room taking out all welcoming feeling out of it. I wont be coming back here. They still dont take credit cards in 2024 which is a pain in the ass. Given that it was just the two of us and wouldn't have taken up much space, the scenario raises concerns: Space Utilization: There seems to be no practical reason to restrict us to the end of the counter when the middle seats were available, especially if space was not an issue. Fairness: The host's decision appears even more arbitrary since we were directed to the less desirable end seats, while later arrivals were given the option to sit in the more favorable middle seats. Customer Service: Good customer service would involve accommodating my preference for seating, particularly when there are no apparent constraints. This situation reflects poorly on the restaurant's seating policies and customer service practices.

Coffee Cup Cafe @is a cozy little spot in LB on 4th Street featuring friendly service and wonderful home cooked meals. It's popular for weekend breakfasts and features a very good breakfast burrito. We ordered the standard burrito with chorizo and medium green salsa on the side which was perfect as the salsa does have some kick. Fluffy eggs, yummy home style potatoes, and savory chorizo are tucked into a fresh, warm tortilla (I might ask for it grilled next time). Great balance and overall flavor underscores an outstanding value, with some foodie BBs going for almost twice the price. While you're there try the French toast!

They recently got new owners which means they got some updates like new payments. It's used to be only cash. I've always liked this place for its French fries they're delicious! Yesterday I had their turkey sandwich and it was really good. Service is always great. Place is always busy and clean.

Friendly and comfy ambiance. The food service was great and fast. Now let's talk about how tasty the food was. The Huevos Rancheros with the green salsa were fire! We also had the potato scrambler with turkey sausage--so, so good. We added a blueberry pancake, which was delicious as well. The price is super cheap for the amount of food and how tasty it is. Highly recommend stopping at the Coffee Cup Cafe for a great breakfast!

Every neighborhood should have a restaurant like The Coffee Cup Cafe, where the food is great, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the servers are attentive and helpful. I had a wonderful brunch here today with a friend who has been here many, many times, and she confirmed that it's always fabulous. I loved my Fitness Scramble (without mushrooms) so much that I'm going to try to make it at home. It was refreshing to have egg whites that tasted this good. Long Beach, count your blessings!

Absolutely loved this place. First of all, I'm not even a pancake person, but I have been dreaming about this pancake since I left. It was perfectly fluffy and so freakin delicious. And of course, the rest of the food was perfect. The bacon was crispy and the eggs were not dry. The stuffed French toast wasn't too sweet (which I appreciated) and the potatoes/home fries were crispy. The coffee was awesome and staff were great at making sure our cups never went half empty. This was the best breakfast I've had out here, by far! Loved the service and loved the food. The ambiance and food scream classic diner. I absolutely will be back.

Used to love this place and my usual spot to sit was at the bar. A few months ago I went in solo and headed for my usual barstool, to the right. I was told I could not sit there because ownership had a specific floor plan in place with respect to volume at certain times. The hostess this was more than apologetic and respectful in her request, as I was seated at one of booths- generally seating for up to four; or five with a squeeze. Enough said. One star, never again, thank goodness for many other wonderful breakfast cafés in Long Beach. I never thought I would feel so strongly about seeing this place fail, close and stripped down to nothing more than a faded memory.

The coffee cup was one of our favorites in town. My fiancé and I loved the food and service. The servers were always smiling and nice to all the customers. Recently went and noticed the big changes. New menu, new prices, new owner. Sad to see one of our fav spots change so much.

I was looking up breakfast spots in Long Beach and I came across the Coffee Cup Café! It is super cute inside and everyone is so nice and attentive. Since it was our first time we asked for recommendations and our server suggested the huevos rancheros. I ordered them and they were so delicious!! I got them with both red and green sauce. I will definitely be back!!

A friend brought me here. This was on my list to try. We were seated right away. This was between 10-12 pm on a week day a good time to go. I was told it's very busy on the weekends. The service was good and everyone very friendly. I ordered the Veggie scramble with their veggie chorizo, it comes with potatoes and toast. My friend ordered their usual Cajun scramble and we split blueberry pancakes. Everything was really delicious and generous portions. I had their butter pecan coffee also Plenty of seating booths and at the counter. Parking on the street. Again it was a weekday so parking was easy to find but weekends might be different. I hope to go back soon!

Been coming here for years. People are always friendly. Food is fast, if not weekends, And delicious. Its a cash only and kid friendly. You'll get seated faster if your party is only one or 2. There is always seating at the counter which I feel provides you with better and speedy service. The ambience is welcoming and very clean and tidy. Coffee is always being served and I promise you, Like myself youll keep coming back. The quality is amazing! The cooks are Mexican so that means only one thing... Food is cooked with lots of love and SAZON.

THE best flavored coffee in Long Beach. There is no other to compete with the flavored coffee, which alternates flavors by day. While the food is simply just diner food, the flavored coffee is really what you should be coming here for. But if you are there to eat, the Chicken Chili Verde omelette, black bean soup, any south of the border version of breakfast will leave you more than satisfied. BUUUUT! The Chicken Chili Verde omelette is a must if you are eating here.

We have been regulars for years and loved this place but something has been off for a while. We've given it a handful of tries since, but most of the staff are just not nearly as outgoing and welcoming as before. And there's now a certain lackadaisical or at least dispirited or disinterested attitude that you can pick up on, if you were a customer both before and immediately after the pandemic. During today's visit we learned that there was an ownership change. I'm not sure when, but I'm guessing that's it. Today's visit will be my last. The restaurant was not more than a third full on this Sunday morning at this time, and we took counter seats, which is something we have sometimes (several dozen) done over many years. As I say, this place has been off for at least a few months. When we realized it was taking much longer than normal to get waited on, we started a countdown clock. Sixteen minutes! Not until José -- always friendly and helpful -- walked by 15 minutes into this ordeal did ANYONE other than the bus/coffee person (who brought us our coffee 5 min after we arrived) even acknowledge that we were there. And no one said "Good Morning," "Welcome," "Be with you in a few minutes," or even look at us. Plenty of staff rushed by but it was as if there was no wait staff assigned to the counter at all. A couple who was close by at the counter also told us they also felt service was slow. Mind you, the woman who I learned later is the new manager was merely standing at cash register midway down the bar not even twenty feet away the whole time. I took her to be a new employee who was not permitted to wait on customers or I would have flagged her down. And the person who I later learned is the new owner was standing next to her for ten of those minutes. Also, part of our meal (toast) was not delivered with the rest of the food, and we were told it would be coming, but it never arrived. When we had finished eating, our waitress was nowhere to be found (again), so we had to flag down another to get our bill. It's nice that they have the ability to pay by credit card (including your phone via QR code printed on check) now, which we took advantage of for the first time, but beware of a 3% surcharge. The manager, as we had seen her do with the few other counter customers who had finished up before us, immediately came over to clear plates. "I hope everything was OK," she said. I told her of our disappointment, the particular issues of our visit, the fact that we have long been coming, etc. Her response: also disappointing. No explanation, no apology, no "sorry to hear that," or the like. Just "Oh."

This review iS YEARS overdue. 8yrs overdue to be exact. Started visiting coffee cup cafe back in 2014. We drive in from the San Fernando valley. I'm committed to good food and coffee and coffee cup delivers every single time. Round of applause for the amazing Latino staff in the kitchen making sure every dish is finger licking good. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Veggie scramble , French toast , oatmeal and of course their coffee is always out go to.
