Schooner or Later is a waterfront breakfast and lunch joint in Long Beach. It was an overcast afternoon, but the sun kept popping through so we decided to sit out on the patio. The view and fresh air were great.
The patio is a good size and there are probably a dozen or so tables. There are only a few tables that are permanently covered and in the shade. They do have umbrellas for the tables, but they were not out when we visited. They also have heat lamps for when it is cold outside. There is plenty of parking only a few steps away from front of the restaurant.
I decided to go outside of the box and ordered "The Mess". This is a blend of chopped ham, bell peppers, onion, hash browns, eggs, and cheddar cheese. It is $18.95 for a half size portion, and only $21.70 for the full size portion, so it's silly to not pay a few extra dollars and take any leftovers home.
I ate about half of it, and it was pretty good as-is, but it was missing a little something. I had the rest at home and added sour cream which made it way better. I would definitely recommend adding sour cream, avocado, or chili which are optional add-ons at the restaurant. It also comes with two slices of sourdough toast, and there are several flavors of packaged jelly on the table.
She had the Cinnamon Roll French Toast ($16.75), and added a side of scrambled eggs and sausage ($8.95). She said it was good, and the portion size is pretty generous.
Service was prompt and friendly.
