Just okay - Edit
The food here is okay. A lot of the food has little to no seasoning and just lacks in flavor. The stars I gave are for the service because the girl who waited on us was so sweet, and everyone seemed very friendly! I hate to give a fully vegan place a bad review, but my boyfriend and I were both sadly very disappointed with our food.

homemade vegan food - Edit
This place is a solid spot for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. I come here regularly and I love their crepes, mexican food, breakfast menu— actually, I love the whole menu! Fast service and friendly environment. Hot sauce and cakes are a must.

Huge vegan menu - Edit
This place made me want to move to LB. We came here almost every weekend for brunch and the only issue we ever had here is that they don't offer their hot sauce via IV. I love their crepes and their chai latte, their tofu scrambles are fantastic. My husband loves their waffles but cautions you to beware of the serious itis that will follow. They also have a tasty selection of desserts. And Emely is a fantastic waitress.

Meh - Edit
So this place has potential. Very friendly staff! The food was not so good. It came out super fast and just tasted cheap. Lots of different options though from pizza, nachos, to crepes. I had the nachos and enchiladas. They both kinda lacked flavor. I tried to get a crepe for dessert because maybe the breakfast was good! Tried to give it a chance but it was very doughy.

Amazing food, super friendly service! - Edit
I had the Chilaquiles and my wife had the Reuben... both were absolutely phenomenal! The marinated tempeh on the Reuben was a total standout, but the chilaquiles were great as well w/ a really nice silken tofu sour cream. We’re going to be back very soon!!

Best vegan pancakes - Edit
Hands down the best vegan breakfast food I’ve ever had. I always get the pancakes, but I have tried the waffles and breakfast burritos as well and they are also excellent. Huge menu with breakfast served all day! I always mean to go in and try their dinner food but I cant help but get pancakes instead every time! Friendly servers and nice, relaxing atmosphere. They also always have freshly baked cakes and a great espresso drink selection.

Open All Day - Edit
One of the best things about The Grain Cafe is that it's open from early in the morning until late in the evening. In addition, breakfast is served all day; if you're in the mood for a scramble or a breakfast burrito at 3:00 in the afternoon, it's available! The ingredients are all organic and everything is made to order. Custom juices are available. A chalkboard lists all of the fresh ingredients available and each customer chooses up to four ingredients to create a custom juice blend (the price is the same no matter what is chosen). There inventive uses of tempeh are a standout as well. Seating is limited as is parking on the street (no lot).

everything on menu delicious - Edit
I've yet to find an item on the menu that wasn't delicious. I dig the rueben the most.
Read moreDefinitely opt for the greens instead of the potatoes. You can have different dressings than the one it comes with.
Treat yourself to any of the smoothies
Pros: no regrets when trying something new

Casual sit down, friendly wait people, full menu - Edit
Three of us went for brunch on a Saturday. Full vegan menu. We sampled too much food, but all well prepared and tasty. My favorite of a great selection of Mexican dishes was the Chile relleno lunch featuring a mouth watering, mildly spicy, ‘cheesy’ stuffed poblano pepper. Our coffee was cinnamon laced soy milk enhanced, and the others had teas or blended juice, all meal brightening. The American dishes are numerous, and the breakfast “egg” scramble dishes were enjoyed by my friends. We also had their version of a nacho dish - popular but not my favorite. Lastly, the ‘burger’ was the only thing I thought was too typical, and was a pale sister compared with the rest of the vibrant menu. Highly recommend if you are near Long Beach State.

Raw - Edit
The Garden Wrap can be ordered raw. It's the most amount of greens you'll find in LB. I get it with no dressing, chard instead of the tortilla, and sub the hummus with the tuna pate. No oil. It kills for $12.08. It comes with avocado so it doesn't really need the add on.

Favorite spot - Edit
Just got back from California and we ate here 2 days in a row. The whole menu looks amazing but we ordered breakfast both days. Tried the grain breakfast (pancakes, tofu eggs, hash browns & sausage or tempeh bacon) The tempeh bacon is bomb, make sure you get an extra side! We also tried the chilaquiles & breakfast burrito. Both delicious! The serving sizes are large and we were stuffed all day. The hot sauce they bring to the table is spicy and amazing also!

don't forget Dessert - Edit
Had the patty crepe, pretty clever and tasty but I am writing to tell everyone you must try the green tea cake. Even if you are full, get it to go! One of the best pieces of cake I've ever had vegan or non vegan. Service was great too.
