The Potholder Cafe P3 in Long Beach

If I could sum this review up in one word it would be WOW!!!!😮😮I was in the Long Beach area today doing business and we wanted to try out a new eatery so we doubled back to The Potholder cafe. My brother n law ordered the Grand Prix and I ordered the J.R.’s flagship. Absolutely phenomenal food and some of the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Our server Sylvia is a sweet gem and knows the menu and how to direct you accordingly. They have a large menu with tons of options even for you plant eating folk. If you’re in the LBC area and you’re in need of a great eatery you’d be foolish not to treat yourself to The Potholder cafe. Happy eating fam!!

Came here with my brother the other day cause it was close by our current vicinity and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious. My brother said and I quote the best breakfast hes had in a while. We both got the chorizo and eggs and substituted our bread for french toast. I opted to get the fruity pebbles kind, and paired it with the boysenberry syrup and it was really good! 🔥

Pleasantly surprised. Customer service to food options and taste, were very good. I had the chilaquiles which had chorizo. Great combination! Their hash potatoes were surprisingly delicious with a buttery taste. I need to go back and try more of their eclectic food options.

Incredible service, food, atmosphere, portion sizes! Definitely a classic gem.

Was super excited to come here to the Potholder. Every time I drive by there seems to be a line. So, wife and i decided to give it a try for breakfast/brunch on a Saturday morning.We arrived about 1030am. Signed in, waited about 30 min, then we were seated. We sat in a pretty spacious patio out back. The place was running on all cylinders!First thing I notice is that service is tip top. Everyone was very efficient, pleasant and helpful. Second thing i notice is that even is very clean and organized. With limited space its very helpful. And finally tho is an amazing space for families with little kids and open enough for strollers!However, one looming issue with my wife and i was the food. I dont know if this was just an off day, but besides the hash browns, everything we ordered seemed bland from the coffee ($3.25 with free refills), hot chocolate, mimosas (($10.95) and bloody Mary ($10.95)to the tall stack of banana nut pancakes. I placed an order for Maritime loco Moco ($13.45) to share with my daughter. Not sure how they make brown gravy but it underwhelmed and tasted like it came from a can or box. Eggs Florentine ($11.95) that my wife ordered were pretty decent, especially the hash browns. But the main part of the dish also underwhelmed. Hollandaise sauce was bland for me. And finally the tall stack of pancakes ($10.95) with banana nut ($1.95) cooked in. Portions was huge, which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, but texture and flavor wise i bit chewy. Not sure if it was the nuts or walnuts cooked in that made it chewy, but my wife and forced ourselves to eat about 1/2 the order whole we just left the other half.There are definitely a number of other items on the menu that i would otherwise try. I dont know of Id order the same things again.All in all, not sure what the hype here is. For me, service is excellent but food for me wasnt worth the price. However, come an try for yourself and see. Happy eating!

Food was delicious even on Fathers Day the wait was quick. Good food selection and good vibes family oriented will be back. If your a pancake lover thier 18inch pancake can feed your whole family its huge.

I’m town for a few days looking for a good breakfast spot, man I stumbled on a jackpot. So good in fact that I ate there everyday during my stay in Long Beach. Five stars all the way, friendly staff, great food, and super chill atmosphere. Highly recommend
