There are 2 reasons why I included The Attic on this list, the first is their homemade hash browns, which is without a doubt one of the best breakfasts I had in Long Beach, and the second reason is the breakfast burrito with roasted polenta, grilled cheese and scrambled eggs…delicious.
The only reason I placed the attic in the 11th place on the best spot for breakfast in Long Beach list, is because of the desserts.
This breakfast restaurant in Long Beach has only one dessert, the $10 traditional beignets covered with powdered sugar, which I found kinda boring.

In 2018, I went to this Long Beach breakfast restaurant with some friends for brunch.
It is a lovely place and the portion of the coursed was satisfying, but on top of all that, the bread was outstanding.

My decision to dine at this restaurant was based on the fact that they have a whole vegan menu.
The bottomless mimosas are another great feature of this place.
As soon as I arrived, Riley, the host, and Taylor, my waitress, went above and beyond with their service. My experience with her was excellent, and I couldn’t have asked for more. As a whole, the experience was fantastic.
