This is one of Long Beach's treasured spots. Is it an eatery, a bakery or a place to enjoy coworkers friends and family?... Wonderful homemade soups, bagels and breads, fresh salads, beautiful sandwiches and only friendly faces. Read more
My mom & dad came here often. It was one of their regular places. They both passed away last year. I recently moved to town &... went in with a friend to see if it could become one of my places too. I thoroughly enjoyed my hot pastrami sandwich (throughsome tears, truth be told), and we splurged on some "death by chocolate" mousse! I also purchased a birthday cupcake for afriend, who was very pleased! I will totally be back. Thank you! Read more
I was visiting Mom for the holiday. I hadn't seen her since June. She loves to go to lunch at several little cafes around town.... Two of them are closed on Mondays so we took a chance on Grounds. The person outside breaking down tables was super snarky. Sheacted put upon and like we were stupid because didn't realize they were closing an hour early for Labor Day. It seemed like shewas mad to be working on a holiday at all. I felt bad/embarrassed because I worked in restaurants when I was a young person. Itsucks to work on holidays when everyone else is at the beach or having barbecues. And I try not to be a customer that arrivesright before closing because I know that the faster the staff can clean the kitchen and dining room, the sooner they can go havefun. Mom and I got there about 1:25-ish so we weren't being complete jerks. We ordered sandwiches, chips, and pastries for takeout. The cashier was friendly. I loved the her pink mermaid hair. It suits her perfectly. The manager was funny and joked withMom. Mom is pushing 92, so I'm always grateful when servers and retail folks are kind and patient with her. The food wasprepared quickly and correctly and we were on our way. Yay! At home, we devoured the sandwiches, chips, and sodas. It wasnearly 2 p.m. and we didn't realize how hungry we were. The sandwiches were yummy. They're just like the sandwiches you wish youcould make for yourself at home but you don't want to keep the squaw bread, produce and condiments on hand all the time. Thepastries we had the following morning with our coffee were really good too. The chocolate croissant is EXTRA special becauseit's not all bread like most places serve and has a dusting of happy powdered sugar. ???? RECOMMEND Read more
