The Grain Café Long Beach

I met up with a childhood friend here, and it was the perfect location. I looked for a place that had gluten-free and dairy free options, and The Grain Cafe didn't disappoint; they are all organic and vegan. I got the huevos a la Mexicana and gluten-free pancakes. It's safe to say I'll be back! Big bonus is that their menu has 4 items with nuts, so for a family that has life-threatening food allergies this is big for a vegan restaurant. Thank you for the first time experience!!

Passing through town and wanted something healthier than typical chain restaurant fair. Had the grain salad with kale and tempeh, it was fantastic! The staff were very friendly and attentive. I was visiting someone from out of town and we stayed a very long time just talking and our server still continued to check on us long after we were done eating. I highly recommend if you are looking for clean healthy food that tastes great. I wish I was in town longer to go back and try more.

Customer service was perfect! Both waiters were attentive and helpful in my food selection. The chilaquiles with red sauce was good with nice presentation. Their house hot sauce paired well with it. The caramel mocha was enjoyable. Good prices. This meal and coffee were $21.50 including tax.

I got the Grain Salad~Marinated tempeh, black wild rice, quinoa, mixed greens, spelled berries, kale, carrots, and pumpkin seeds tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette. I loved it, it was fresh, filling, and flavorful. I paired it with some fresh green juice. Service was good, friendly staff. The desserts looked amazing, was too full to splurge. Had a taste of the torta, I loved it. Bought a bag of organic date seed powder to try later as a replacement for coffee

I enjoyed this place, I met up with family for a bite to eat and they had so many yummy vegan dishes, it was hard to choose! The location is a small dining area but just enough for a cozy vibe with a small group, music playing and the aroma of delicious food cooking in the kitchen. Our server was great, she explained some dishes to help us make a decision and the food came quick and we were beyond ready. I chose a Reuben sandwich, very tasty mix of sauer kraut and tempeh which honestly I normally wouldn't like but here, at this place it was seasoned to perfection. I washed this yummy sandwich down with a mint lemonade... again... yummy hits the tastebuds with a refreshing cool splash of mint and lemons a great combination. I saw a almond strawberry cake on the menu and although I was too full to eat it there, I put that bad boy in a to go box and was a happy camper! The location was kind enough to allow us to sit for hours and catch up with each other, I live this place and their food!
