Drive down Retro-Row and soon enough you will come across a small little corner Café where the vibes are just right. Choose from a menu with a wide variety of options that are equally satisfying. Their deeply rooted origins from Oaxaca, Mexico will come out in their spices. Although recently opening its door to Long Beach residents, The Grain Café is quickly becoming a local favorite.

If you’re looking for a tight knit little spot that will make you feel right at home, then steamed is the perfect place to sip your Long Beach-brewed kombucha. You might have guessed it, but steamed Steams its food. Try a quesadilla, loaded salad or burrito with locally sourced ingredients served without the use of a grill or fryer.

Ahimsa Vegan Café

There’s something about Ahimsa that makes you feel like this is the right place to brunch. Lunch. And dinner. To start, their aesthetic (chalk wall, Piano, tables) makes the place a standout. Try some of their fresh squeezed juices and smoothies. And the fiesta burrito (my favorite) is a must-try. The staff is friendly and makes this a place for all to try.

Veggie Grill

Keep a look out for their hours as they close daily from 2:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. Otherwise, the food here speaks for itself. Healthy and delicious.
