Ubuntu Café

Wonderful Sunday brunch at Ubuntu. It was surely happening on a sunny morning. You have to line up for food first and then it is brought to you at the table. Lots of space for al fresco dining and the vibe is relaxed but boisterous. I had a simple scrambled eggs and it was well seasoned and filling too. My friends and I chatted away and spent a wonderful late morning catching up. The cheese puffs were especially good.

Ubuntu is my favorite eatery in Long Beach. I go there at least once a week—whether for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. Some people don’t realize how romantic and delicious dinner is at Ubuntu. Unlike ordering at the counter during the day, at night the friendly and enthusiastic servers provide service at the table. Thursdays and Fridays soft jazzy music or bossanova create a pleasant backdrop. Try the dinner burger, some of the pastas, or any of the delicious entrees. Leave room for the chocolate mousse or the extraordinary passion fruit mousse. BTW, there’s now a second location in beautiful San Juan Capistrano.

This place has good reviews so was curious. It's expensive for a regular to mediocre omelet. The texture seemed a little too gooey. They make their own almond milk so their latte doesn't contain any added sugar at all, which is good. Good service. There's free parking at the restaurant. It seems popular and busy. People place order at the cash register and pick their own seating. No gluten free option. There's only one restroom. Pet friendly.

This place is wonderful! I really loved everything about it. The location, the vibe and menu were all solid! Our table started with great coffee & Cappuccinos and soon followed up with the Quiche, Short-Rib Chilaquiles and the Angry Fried Chicken Sando. I must say that ALL of these were a big hit! Sierra (a server) was welcoming, friendly and very helpful. Thanks Sierra! If you're looking for something different with quality dishes and great ambiance, check this place out!

WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful restaurant, amazing food, and honestly THE BEST SERVICE WE'VE HAD SINCE COVID! Every staff member welcomed us and Ramon was the most friendly and helpful of all with menu recommendations, history, and even heard it was my birthday and brought us cheese bread as a birthday gift! Who does that??? 🤯 Reminded me of how service used to be and it was so very much appreciated, fits perfectly with the beautiful decor and incredibly delicious food, absolutely our new favorite restaurant, can't wait to try dinner! Thanks again Ramon and everyone on shift today, we will be back and I'm telling all our friends to try Ubuntu! 👍👍👍👍👍

This crew is always so kind and nice. Elizabeth literally remembers my name. They have patience, always smiling, even when it’s overwhelming. The coffee is amazing. The food is also 10/10 I can’t say enough about the wonderful atmosphere they provide customer service is almost nonexistent these days, but not at Umbunto LB

There's a place where the hummingbirds know your name. Ubuntu isn't just a cafe—it's a philosophy come to life. The name means "I am because we are," and you feel it the moment you arrive. This is the kind of neighborhood spot that restores your faith in community. The veranda is pure magic. I've spent countless mornings here listening to the fountain and watching hummingbirds dart between flowers with impossible grace. There's something about this place that makes creativity flow—I've written entire chapters of my novel here, inspired by those tiny, fearless birds. The food is exceptional, the coffee is perfect, and the atmosphere shifts beautifully from productive mornings to relaxed evenings. When the sun sets and the deck lights come on, it transforms into the ideal spot to end any day with good conversation and even better company. The staff treats you like family. The regulars become friends. And somehow, in a world that often feels disconnected, Ubuntu reminds you that we all belong to each other. Whether you need a quiet place to work, a spot to meet friends, or just somewhere to remember what it feels like to be part of something good—Ubuntu delivers. Every single time. Especially if you love, like I do, gluten free cheese puffs! P.S. If you love hummingbirds as much as I do, you'll understand why this place found its way into my forthcoming novel, Song of Hummingbird Highway. Whether you come for the friendship, the exceptional food, a drink on that magical veranda, or just to feel good in a world that sometimes forgets how—Ubuntu delivers. From hummingbird mornings to starlit evenings. It's not just a neighborhood cafe. It's a reminder that we belong to each other.

Came here upon my host's recommendation & the fact that I am an Ubuntu Linux user 💻 (you may be familiar if you work in software 😂 ... I can't wait to tell my coworkers I went to an Ubuntu Cafe). Jokes aside, I don't have any additive commentary because all the 5 star reviews you see here hit the nail on the head already. The service was wildly good. We were offered free Brazilian cheese bread from our gracious host... our servers stopped by frequently to check on us and clear our tables. We truly felt welcomed!! Breakfast sandwich was a tad mediocre (it was good, just nothing special), but the bacon was super crispy and flavorful. Omelet was out of this world, very delicate, well-seasoned, and masterfully put together. The indoor/outdoor patio is also beautiful - we enjoyed the balance between having some sunshine/shade/ocean breeze.

I visited Ubuntu Cafe with my wife and kids and had a wonderful experience. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and family-friendly--perfect for a relaxed breakfast outing. The staff were attentive and made sure our family felt welcome. For breakfast, I had the chilaquiles, which were flavorful and well-prepared, and my wife had a breakfast sandwich paired with a French toast latte, both of which she really enjoyed. The kids also found plenty to like on the menu, and everything was served nicely and on time. Overall, Ubuntu Cafe offers fresh, tasty food, great service, and a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere. We'll definitely be returning to try more of their menu.

When visiting here, my wife asked me what Ubuntu means, and I used the internet to figure it out. The internet confirmed that Ubuntu, in African dialects, "expresses the idea that 'a person is a person through other people'." It's a beautiful sentiment and it's a mission statement that this location actualizes magnificently. At its core, Ubuntu Cafe is located in the heart of a Long Beach community. It has a huge parking lot and is centrally located near several parks and a lagoon. They have outdoor seating with charmingly decorated ambiance, you could see locals running down the street with their dogs, and they have a welcoming service that embodies this feeling of community and local flavor. Still having Christmas decor, the walls and tables were thoughtfully lined with winter dressings and the chairs had blankets pre-positioned for those who were cold. Though the ambiance and staff were unique, the food was equally impressive and thoughtful. I ordered a single piece of "millionaire's bacon" and, though the $11 price made me "double take", I was pleasantly surprised by it. The slice of bacon was steakhouse quality, thick, salty, peppery, and smoky with a hit of maple. What a welcome morning surprise! We also had their breakfast sandwich, which had a brioche bun that was loaded with thin bacon, a jammy egg, and creamy avocado. One thing you can't miss is their Brazilian Cheese Bread, which they make to order. I'd come back just for this bread alone. Lastly, I really loved drinking their coffee, which had a nice roasted flavor that was great on this morning. Even though I came here for the food, I really did enjoy my vanilla latte here. Overall, the community atmosphere at Ubuntu Cafe is special and I highly recommend that you visit this location. It is dog friendly. I brought my sister-in-law's dog with us, and we had a beautiful walk around the community after our meal. Thank you, Ubuntu, for making us feel part of your community on this rainy weekend.

This cafe is in my neighborhood and I have been here many times. I love that it has been so well supported! It's a wonderful location next to The Lagoon and Marina Park. This morning, I walked over with my daughter for a bit of breakfast. We both ordered lattes and some food. This is a "counter service" establishment....you order at the register counter and the food is delivered by wait staff. Today things were not running quite as smoothly as expected....the egg sandwich was delivered fairly quickly. After a somewhat lengthy amount of time went by, the lattes were delivered. I wanted to wait for my daughter to receive her food order, before I started. However, my sandwich was now getting cold and needed to be eaten . After too much time, her avocado toast arrived. This is a bad practice to deliver food items with widely spaced timing. (I'm hoping this is a temporary glitch.) I also need to comment that the egg sandwich was not very flavorful. There are many really good breakfast sandwiches available close by. I will probably not order this again.

I absolutely LOVED my experience at Ubuntu! Decided to go here for brunch on a Sunday afternoon and it was perfect because it wasn't too crowded. It's a casual dining cafe so you go up to the counter to place your order and find a place to sit. The cafe is openair with mostly outdoor seating which I loved. The staff is also extremely friendly! We told our waitress it was our first time here and she brought our complementary Brazilian cheese bread, so nice! I ordered the chilaquiles and was not disappointed. Very delicious and one of their most popular items. I got an Americano to drink which was very good! My bf got the millionaire bacon and loved it. He also got the chilaquiles but added brisket and was thoroughly satisfied! I will absolutely be back here. It is perfect for a nice brunch or a to bring your laptop and get work done!

Such a beautiful cafe, always so decorated and aesthetically beautiful for every season. You instantly feel welcomed by their great hospitality. I've been here numerous times and without fail it's one of my favorite cafes! I enjoy their Spanish lattes and pastries, if you like drinks more on the sweet side, their French toast latte is delicious as well.

this is a review for their dinner only! I want to come back for brunch since I know most people go for brunch service was 10/10, all staff kept asking if the food was good and gave us updates on when it was coming out. I mentioned it was my first time here and they gave me complimentary Brazilian cheese bread! worth getting food was okay for me, it was tasty but I thought for my crab and lobster pasta dish, the sauce was a little too salty for me? went on a Friday, they had live music and I liked the band! parking next to the restaurant, I didn't have problems finding a spot for dinner good vibes, excellent service. I would come back one more time for brunch

Ubuntu Café is one of my go-to brunch spots. The open-air layout is perfect for patio dining, whether you're under the cover or out in the sun. Also, the water feature in the middle adds a nice touch of zen, and the blankets and heaters at each table keep things cozy when it's cold. Although some areas are tight, especially around the counter area, the service doesn't skip a beat. They keep things flowing. There's a small counter filled with drinks, pastries, and a few fun retail finds that practically beg you to grab one. The chocolate chip cookie is ridiculous. I'd say the real standout here is the pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread). Fresh out of the oven, crispy shell, gooey center...absolute fire. A top seller, Thick Cut "Millionaire's" Bacon, smoky, sweet, and sticky with that caramelized edge that's dangerously good. You won't be able to resist this piece of meat. The Chilaquiles with Short Rib add-on is one of my favorites, and those Sticky Ribs hit that sweet and savory mix just right. I love the Pork Belly Adobo Bowl, but the consistency can be hit or miss. The first time was perfect, but on later visits, it's either lacked flavor or the pork belly came out dry. If I had to point out one thing, it would be consistency. The Chilaquiles with the Portuguese Sausage add-on was really good...had a nice smoky flavor. The Grilled Cheese with Tomato Bisque Soup...hit full comfort mode. Unfortunately, the Dark Chocolate Pot De Crème was just ok. French Toast Latte runs the show, my favorite, followed by the Spanish Mocha and Spanish Latte. The Pumpkin Pie Latte missed the mark flavor-wise...was ok. Come early if you can because it fills up fast, especially on weekends. Even if you're stuck waiting, grab a drink and enjoy the vibe. If you're lucky, they'll bring around a few bites to take the edge off your hunger. They call it the greatest neighborhood café, and it really fits. It's tucked right in the middle of a quiet residential area, with a lake and park around the corner, blending chill vibes, solid food, and good coffee that just works every time.

Amazing!! Service was fantastic! Ahi tuna salad was on point, seared nice, great flavor in the greens, just delicious!! Food came out pretty quick. Oh and the cheese bread, oh M g! I'm just visiting but I will definitely eat here again next time I'm in Cali. Bloody mary was good too. Outdoor and indoor seating available. They even had some blankets in case you get cold.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine kindness, patience, and respect. The location alone set the tone -- early in the morning with the sun hitting just right, it felt amazing on my skin and instantly put me in a great mood. The food was incredible. The service was truly top tier. This has easily become one of my all-time favorite spots, hands down. I left feeling happy and already wanting to tell my friends and family about it. I ordered the chilaquiles and they were so good -- the tortilla was soft yet perfectly crunchy, and the egg on top added that extra touch that made it unforgettable. My girlfriend had the breakfast sandwich with tea and couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was. Elise -- I believe that was her name -- was incredibly sweet and patient with us. Big shout-out to her for making our experience even better. I 100% recommend coming here and will definitely be back.

This place has been on our radar for years, but for whatever reason it never worked out for us to stop. This weekend, we were in the right place at the right time. We arrived at Ubuntu in the later morning and were lucky enough to not have to wait for a table. Moises greeted us, and made our entire experience amazing. He explained the menu, the restaurant motto and culture, and he even hooked us up with some amazing cheese bread. When we ordered, he introduced us to the owner who is just as lovely and friendly. We ordered the chilaquiles and breakfast sandwiche on a croissant. Delicious!!!! We also loved their passionfruit margarita. We can't believe we waited so long to stop, by but so glad we finally did. They absolutely made us feel welcomed and like family, and that was just the cherry on top. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, Moises and Ubuntu family. We will absolutely be back in the near future.

This is my favorite cafe in Long Beach. The drinks are carefully crafted and the staff is kind. The last time I visited, we were initially seated in the sun, which normally wouldn't be terrible except this time I was wearing black denim. (Seriously, though, what's up with that sun?!) Anyway, I need to give mad props to Elise, who was utterly delightful to meet and found us a wonderful table for two inside. As for food, the millionaire bacon is a must-try, and the iced tea delicious. My friend loved her vegan burger, which looked like a legit regular cheeseburger! The baked goods are beautiful and the cafe is truly wonderful to visit. I plan to return every time we are in town.

Came back and really liked the summer toast: ricotta and fresh plums and peaches on brioche. The avocado toast was alright - the avocado doesn't taste fresh unfortunately but the lox was on point! I would do without the avocado next time and get eggs and lox or something like that. My kids got cereal and berries and some scrambled eggs. They still didn't direct us to the kids menu, but it was located next to the main ones thankfully. Service was great - a couple of people came by. A bit weird that one person was trying to upsell us some mimosas - felt a bit off putting to be honest. Food is great. Prices are high (but that's everywhere). Great location and overall pretty good service. Family friendly. We'll be back.

Not bad! I had a bagel and lox with an oak milk cold brew and liked them both. It's definitely pricey, especially for a plain bagel (a shame this is the only option) where only one side had cream cheese. I did ask for more shmere and was given "extra" for free after looking both disappointed and aghast at a dry half of the bagel and flimsy amount on the other side. Cute spot and I do recommend trying it out. But be prepared to spend - especially if you intend to have a drink.

Fast casual, and you order first. Farm to table ingredient's. Had their delicious and warm lentil soup, perfect for the rainy weather. Along with their deviled eggs toast, hot Brazilian cheese bread and coffee. Sit in their patio and cozy up with their blankets! Staff were very polite, attentive and helpful! Order what they recommend!

Chilaquiles with short rib are a must! We've had them several times and it's always super tasty. The short rib is a nice touch and makes this dish very different from traditional chilaquiles. My husband also loves the Spanish latte. This time around we finally tried the avocado toast and it was totally worth it. It has bits of egg mixed in with watermelon slices. Sounds odd, but I promise it's good. As always, service is always on point.

Went during lunch on a Saturday and it was very crowded. Ordered a breakfast sandwich, cheese bread, and iced americano. Service was great, food was amazing, and it was fairly easy to find a spot to sit even thought it was crowded. Vibe was cool. Check this spot out!

With Bossa Nova in your ears and ocean breeze in your hair, there's no better way to enjoy a relaxing brunch with friends or your best friend (dog). They definitely have the friendliest stuff and their service is impeccable, including bringing a bowl of water for your dog. Their food is meticulous crafted from the highest quality ingredients, and the presentation itself is enough to whet your appetite. Enjoy a memorable dining experience here, but be prepared to spend a pretty penny.

The Perfect Neighborhood Haven Ubuntu Cafe embodies its name--a South African philosophy meaning "humanity to others" or "I am because we are." This isn't just marketing; it's the lived experience of every visit. What makes Ubuntu special: The veranda with its soothing fountain and resident hummingbirds (seriously, watching them is meditation) Excellent food and drinks that never disappoint Atmosphere that works for solo work sessions or gathering with friends Day-to-night versatility--productive mornings transform into magical evenings on the deck Staff who genuinely care and remember you A sense of belonging that's increasingly rare I've become a regular here, often working on my writing projects while the hummingbirds visit. There's something about this space that inspires creativity and connection. In fact, those hummingbirds made such an impression they found their way into my novel! Ubuntu is proof that a cafe can be more than a place to grab coffee--it can be a sanctuary, a creative space, and a reminder of our shared humanity. Highly recommend for anyone seeking great food, genuine community, or a moment of peace in a beautiful setting.

I had to work around the area and found this place. I ordered the lobster bisque it was really good along with a glass of rosé. The ambiance is cozy, especially on a rainy day. The front desk guy was kind. I'll definitely come back to try the breakfast menu.

First time visiting and Ubuntu Cafe didn't disappoint! The space has an open, airy, and sunny vibe that immediately makes you feel welcome. The food was absolutely fabulous, and the service was friendly and attentive. Loved that it's kid- and dog-friendly too. Can't wait to come back!

I've always wanted to try this place! I was blessed to be able to have tried the DTLB promenade location and ran into the sweet owner, Dani! She made me fall in love with the Restaurant and I brought my friend and we had such a great time! The food is amazing! All of it! But we keep coming back because of the owner! Her & her husband's heart and soul and sweat into bringing 3 locations around SoCal is so admirable! Always great service! Always great time! Always great food & drinks! Finally got to come here, last night, and got to see both of the owners and they got to meet my son. This family business is so special! Found out Thursday's and Fridays have LIVE music! So I'm back tonight! Come and enjoy the view, the sunset, the music, the food and drinks! There's something for everyone! Last night, we got to try: - the ribs! Omg! Perfect sweet and tender taste, you'll lick your fingers! - of course, the Brazilian cheesy bread, that used to be made by Dani's mom! Bless her heart! - I was craving crispy pork and saw this and ordered it and so glad I did! So healthy and so yummy! Crispy and melts in your mouth! - Lobster bisque! Need I say more? Mmmm! Perfectly paired with the cheesy bread! - And I got to try a possible new item for the menu! Mmmm! You gotta come and ask for it! Lobster and crab lovers! You'll love it! Tonight, I just got a blood orange spritz! So yummy & pretty! Like a sunset in a cup! Cheers!

Great little corner spot by the water, flooded with warm sunlight, and costal breeze. I enjoyed their Angry Chicken Sandwich... which left me tummy quite happy. I also had the delicious and authentically Brazilian "Pão de Queijo" (cheese bread) with a creamy cup of latte! The staff is warm and friendly... For a moment there, I thought I was back in Brazil. I was told I must have the Chilaquiles, so I shall make another trip soon.

The best way to unwind on a Saturday night is trying a new place for dinner. A refreshing passion fruit margarita, appetizer and a delicious pasta . You must try the cheese bread ! You won't regret it . The guava and passion fruit jam is made in house . Thankful for such welcoming owners, staff and beautiful location . Enjoyed a dinner with my niece . We will definitely be back .

Quite a pleasant, classy yet casual place for food and drink, a semi-outdoor layout with an extensive patio, and live music as well. Service was good but had a few fits and spurts, maybe because they were kind of busy. Cucumber was literally a grilled cucumber, but tasty all the same, if cut a little large. Pork belly atop a bed of beans was solid but could have used a sharp knife to cut. The happy hour cheeseburger was excellent, curious to try the regular burger someday? Also does the champagne button in the bathroom really send for champagne? I wasn't drinking this meal so wasn't in a situation to try...

Ubuntu The Greatest Neighborhood Cafè is a casual cafe located between Alamitos Bay and Colorado Lagoon. Currently Ubuntu operates two other locations - the Promenade in Downtown Long Beach and San Juan Capistrano. [Parking]: Easy and free parking on early weekday morning, but the parking lot is most likely packed on busy weekends. [Ordering & Atmosphere]: Customers order at the counter first and find an available table. Cute dining atmosphere with a well-lit outdoor patio. The cafe has an open-air setting with bar seats at the patio area. [Menu]: Some of Yelp highlights include - coffee ice cubes in iced coffee, Signature Thick Cut Millionaire Bacon (dish to share), Breakfast Sandwich, and Brazilian Cheese Bread (dish to share). Staff favorite items listed on the menu include Breakfast Chilaquiles, Braised Dark Greens, and Breakfast Sandwich. Heck they even offer picnic baskets with 4 different options (each basket serves 2-3 people & require 48-hour order in advance). *** Ubuntu Signature Thick Cut "Millionaire's" Bacon ($11): No question it was one of the thickest piece of bacon I have seen. It was one chewy bacon and also not a dish one person can finish alone. Heck it felt like I was cutting a steak. Breakfast Sandwich (hass smashed avocado - niman ranch bacon - gruyere cheese - organic free range farm egg on toasted brioche bun - $16): Brioche bun was a bit cold and not soft. I couldn't recall my last time having a smashed avocado on a breakfast sandwich. The sandwich didn't taste bad, but flavor profile was pretty mediocre. Coffee (small $4.50): I requested my coffee to go in a paper cup and was able to get a free coffee refill at the cashier counter before leaving. Black coffee surprisingly was quite good. *** Not exactly peak breakfast food given the hefty price tags, but visitors pay up for the cute ambiance and maybe 3.5-star food. This is actually a pretty good romantic date spot due to (1) right next to Will Rogers Mini Park so couples can take a walk right after the meal and (2) lots of shareable dishes between two people. A solid 3.5-star breakfast/brunch spot and bump up 4-star on friendly service and ambiance.

Wow, this place is so darn cute! Candles on the table with little red blankets to keep you warm on a chilly night it's adorable We had just eaten at the market and stopped over to see what they offered. Well they have everything you can come here for brunch. You can come here for dinner. If you just want a coffee we grab some delicious dark chocolate and said to ourselves, we will definitely be back either for a brunch or for dinner . It's one of the cutest little restaurants at the Riverwalk with the nicest owners in the world.

Very nice place, good ambience and good decoration. There is good amount of parking by the restaurant. Food was very delicious. Price is on the higher side so that's the only downside probably. Service was very good. Overall, good experience.

I love Ubuntu. It's a very classical brunch spot. I lived in Paraguay for 2 years so I love getting the cheese balls which are so close to chipa from Paraguay. They're perfectly soft and the cheese in the middle is pull apart melty. I tried their breakfast croissant and it was very very solid. All the comforting flavors of breakfast. My friend got the chilaquiles and just by looking at her dish I could tell she needed more sauce, but the service was great and promptly got her more sauce. We fried the Mimosa sampler- turns out I don't like lavender in my champagne, but the other flavors were great. Parking can be rough, and the lines can get long, but it's worth it. I once met the owner and she was so incredibly sweet. I would tell everyone to support her. The ambiance is great, they've done a great job with decorating the location.

Popular spot. Came in to check out what the buzz is about. Decent banana bread (toasted instead of microwaved) , lukewarm coffee drinks. Prices reflected in waterfall ambience, costly napkins/dining ware and service with seeming style. An experience, nonetheless

If you haven't been here it's a must!! Lovely ambience nestled in a neighborhood. Fantastic service and very friendly staff! I went in the evening and was so impressed by the quality of food so fresh and of course ambience charming !! I've been here for breakfast which is delicious too. It can get a bit busy so go early or bring your patience with you! Worth the wait!! A big kudos to the owner, chef and all staff!

I love a boutique Café me and my family love to come here at such a family friendly restaurant. I recently had their steak and eggs, which oh my gosh were so good. I love that this location is surrounded by grass fairly close to a park because my kid likes to play at the park so we go after and it's such an open air vibe. The service is great. You order your food first before sitting, and if you would like to add on more they have no issue with charging you at the table, which is very convenient. Definitely a local spot and vibe. Long Beach is the best!

5 years since my first visit here. As good as ever. I don't know how the staff could get any friendlier but they seem to with every visit. Happy staff and consistent, great food are signs of great owners and managers. Kudos to the Ubuntu team. Please don't change.

WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE Beautiful restaurant, amazing food, and honestly THE BEST SERVICE WE'VE HAD SINCE COVID! Every staff member welcomed us and Ramon was the most friendly and helpful of all with menu recommendations, history, and even heard it was my birthday and brought us cheese bread as a birthday gift! Who does that??? Reminded me of how service used to be and it was so very much appreciated, fits perfectly with the beautiful decor and incredibly delicious food, absolutely our new favorite restaurant, can't wait to try dinner! Thanks again Ramon and everyone on shift today, we will be back and I'm telling all our friends to try Ubuntu!

This establishment must be new to me, I used to live in that area right before moving out of LB, but I first time visiting here. My family and I loved the ambiance & environment very much, beautiful little cafe on the corner. Talking about FOODS, Amazing, Delicious, flavorful, beautiful presentation. We loved everything we ordered and everything was recommended by the sweet nice cashier girl. Especially the French Toast Latte.. OMG.. it's right to the spot. Since I'm a coffee lover. Strongly recommended, make sure u don't miss this out (0_0) Talking about service, nothing to complain but amazing, the foods came out extremely quick. [no reservations, but line up at check in and make your order right away, when ordered is completed, you look for your own seats, but they helped you out to adjust the table as well]. I appreciate her comp on Brazilian Cheese Bread , it's very tasty. Kiddos love it. Plenty of parking, compares to some busy locations in LB, this spot is just everything in it. Views, parking, and short distance walk to the little lake next door. I will be back again.

This is such a cute little neighborhood gem! I came here with a group of girlfriends to celebrate a birthday, and it was the perfect spot. First off, the Spanish Latte was hands down the best I've had in a long time--smooth, flavorful, and just the right touch of sweetness. We had a party of 9 and the staff was incredibly accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in to order. You have to order before you grab a seat, so don't try to save seats! The parking lot was full when we arrived, but street parking wasn't a problem at all. We tried a mix of lattes and cocktails, and everything was delicious! The avocado toast was solid, the billionaire bacon was my personal favorite, the breakfast sandwich was good, and the summer/spring chicken salad was super fresh and light. The chilaquiles were a hit, too! But honestly, what made everything even better was the company I had and the lovely service we received. Definitely coming back soon for another Spanish Latte fix even if it's just to go! I want to try the other lattes and brunch items- they had some yummy pastries too!

While in Long Beach, I met my long-time college friend for brunch at Ubuntu. We ordered our food and the manager came out to chat us up. He brought out an olive oil muffin for us to sample. Delicious! My Breakfast Sandwich was the tasty. The bacon was cooked as I like it and the avocado and egg added to the flavor. My friend ordered the Eggs Benedict and said it was amazing as always. Later on, the owner came by to chat with us as well. She informed me of the meaning behind Ubuntu. Even though the restaurant was getting busier, she made time to connect with us and have meaningful conversation. We appreciated that so much. We chatted about the new location opening in Belmont Shore. When I'm back in the area, I will definitely stop by.

This café is so cute!! We had the Spanish latte & the French toast latte. Prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is so chic, service was excellent & the coffee was delicious. Loved it!!

The Breakfast meal was delicious. The coffee was the best I ever had, both strong and tasty. Great service. Reasonable price. Maria Hanson

The best find we have had in a long time. Family owned, food is amazing, owner Danni is the sweetest and most personable. Staff is friendly, best Caesar salad I've ever eaten, portions great, food is tasty and satisfying. Ambiance is great. Can't say enough about this cute place. Go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and will not be disappointed.

Had this was on my saved for a while some good and some not so great... First the place is beautiful, if you wanna go there for cute pictures and nice dining that's where you go. And the drinks were also good, I had gotten the HOT SPANISH LATTE w/ OAT MILK and my partner had gotten SPRITZ ME UP. We had gotten the EGGS BENNY W/ POTATOES, the Benny was pretty good, but 3.50 for half a potato is wild. My partner got the LENTIL SOUP, $17 not really make it your own, no flavor and just the add on thrown on top. Some not so great.... - Please help your servers, had like five servers come to us to see if I had there there plate, drinks, or number, I'm not mad at the servers because the number they give you are not visible. - The Bill was $90 for 2, don't get the add ons they're not worth. - If I'm dining in, you would think they would give your latte in the mugs like what picture portrays but I had gotten just a reg paper coffee cup

I'M IN LOVE!!!! So glad I got to experience Ubuntu because there was so much to love about this cafe! This cafe is counter service. You are welcome to sit anywhere and they offer complimentary blankets at each table. There's tables on all sides of the the ordering counter. Ambiance is super cute!!! It's very welcoming and there's merch available. Customer service are allllll so nice - super attentive, super accommodating, great vibes, great smiles! My spanish latte was amazing! The spanish bread and the angry chicken sando that I got not angry was delish! The fries that it came with are perfect! I would recommend this place!

Decided to try this spot because I heard great things from a friend. It's very vibrant and fun, and we enjoyed the overall ambiance, great customer service, and tasty food. They were all decked out for Halloween/Fall--loved the decorations! We got a French omelette that came with potatoes, sauces, toast, and a small side salad. Their steak plate was delicious, a bit pricey; however, it's a 12-oz portion with two eggs, potatoes, and chimichurri sauce. To drink, we shared a pumpkin spice latte, delicious! Looking forward to coming back. Oh, almost forgot about the Brazilian cheesy bread rolls made in-house, which are also delicious!

I've been working in DTLB for 16 years and I can't believe I have never been to Ubuntu!!!! Wow, they definitely live up to their name as the greatest neighborhood cafe! From location to food to service to even parking (you know how important parking is in LB and especially it is free)! Ubuntu situated nicely across the lagoon on top of an apartment complex, with plenty of parking in a big lot. They were all decked out for Christmas with a huge Christmas tree out front. This is the place for all your get-together with friends and family and they had such a nice brunch food and drink menu. We ordered a lot of things! One thing is that they want you to get in line to order your food and then grab a table. Once you are at your table and want to order more, you can always grab your server and order with him/her and pay, no need to go back in line. Food wise, EVERYTHING was good! The best thing I loved was the millionaire bacon, and I don't even like bacon!!! The piece was hug and thick and gooey with maple or something infused. So good! We had four adults and two kids so we ordered everything that looked good on yelp and about 3 or 4 orders of the cheese bread because the kids ate them all. I really like their short ribs chilaquiles, so good! Just like how I had it in CDMX! I also like the fig toast. Lastly, I love love this place for their coffee!!! They are one of the few that actually can make all their specialty coffee drinks in decaf!!!! I love their decaf Spanish latte! I got two of them! We lounged about and went to the lagoon to walk off some calories and came back to order some more to-go. I highly recommend Ubuntu!!!! If you haven't been, you are greatly missing out!

Ambiance: This place is adorable! So cozy and tucked in... they even had fluffy blankets on the chairs to wrap up in when it was cold. Loved that. Service: You pay at the counter FYI. Staff was super kind and helpful and made great suggestions! Food: I got the angry chicken sandwich and though it was delicious there wasn't even a hint of spice. Lol I did really enjoy my meal.... GET THE LEMONADE and thank me later! Overall this was a great place and I'll be back to try other things.

had sunday brunch here with one of my really close friends. we met kinda early, which was perfect, bc the place was pretty packed by 1030am been wanting to check ubuntu out for awhile so glad we agreed to meet up here! super cute and laid back vibes staff were all welcoming you have to order first, then grab your table seating outdoors/patio, inside, which have multi sliding patio doors, another section of outdoor seating with over head heaters, which is where we opted to sit they also have blankets! we ordered: Breakfast Sandwich Bagel & Lox side: portuguese sausage Famous Scrambled Eggs side: UBUNTU SIGNATURE THICK CUT "MILLIONAIRE'S" BACON iced french toast latte bloody mary did not take long for all our food to arrive everything looked so pretty the food was delicious everything tasted fresh and the meal was light, not to carb loaded would def come back and order a few order items from their lunch menu very dog friendly establishment! parking: pretty large lot, but it fills up on the wknd

I enjoyed a little brekky at Ubuntu the other week and was left with a great first impression. This spot is perfect for a sunny day meal with the indoor and outdoor seating. It's a market style restaurant where you order your food/drinks first, find a table, and they bring it to you (the wait time was not long at all!). I ordered the chilaquiles with Portuguese sausage and my sister got the deviled egg toast. I thought both were delectable and would definitely order it again! My only note is that the sausage to chip ratio was a bit off - throw in another sausage in there - don't be shy!!!

Wonderful ambiance.... It was a chilly day and they gave out blankets and had heat lamps. Great customer service . Despite a line out the door to order the owner or manager who took our order never made us feel rushed. The food was very good!

Ubuntu is a gem in Long Beach! I love how it has many food options depending on what mood you're in! I love their brunch options and lattes especially. The service here is top tier and the location is beautiful too!

What a nice hidden gem in Belmont Shore, Long Beach. We first noticed this cafe while driving around our neighborhood and said "we have to go one day". We're lucky enough to be walking distance but it looks like there's a lot of parking! We were warmly greeted by a server right away which was nice. He explained how the restaurant layout is. We walked up the stairs and waited in line to order. Ambience is so cute for brunch! And it's Christmas right now so I think it's extra cute. Food was slightly over priced but it's worth it imo. We got our food promptly and a nice high top outside to eat it at. Very dog friendly too. Food is yummy and I would definitely go back or recommend this for a brunch date.
