Ubuntu Café

What an adorable neighborhood café! We stopped in for a weekday brunch while our family was together over the 4th of July week. Although they were busy, the staff graciously rearranged tables to accommodate our group of 11, including three little ones. Elizabeth was our server, and she was incredible. She and the rest of the staff anticipated our needs—especially with the kids—and our food and drinks arrived quickly despite the bustling atmosphere. We shared a wonderful bottle of Prosecco (served in chilled glasses!), and several of us enjoyed beautiful (and delicious!) coffee drinks. The menu was filled with so many tempting options that it was hard to choose. We all ordered something different, and every dish was outstanding. I'm still dreaming about the delicious chicken grain bowl I ordered and can't wait to try recreating it at home! Ubuntu truly lives up to its reputation as the "greatest neighborhood café." The warm, welcoming, and very kid-friendly atmosphere made us feel right at home. Our little ones especially loved exploring the peaceful water feature out front and searching for the little plastic duckies throughout it. The café is also perfectly situated overlooking

Off work early = Sunset Hour = Happy Hour! Parking: They have medium/large parking lot. Finding a parking spot is easy. Ambiance/Environment: This is an outdoor restaurant. I love the decor and setup. They have a good amount of seating. It wasn’t busy when we visited around 16:00, but they did have a dinner rush later on. They also offer live music during dinner! Service: Everyone we encountered was courteous, quick, & efficient. We were checked on multiple times, and throughput was quick after ordering. Food & drinks: They offer a brunch menu, happy hour menu, and dinner menu. Unfortunately, they do not have a full lunch menu. 1) French Toast Latte - I’m a crackhead for caffeine, so of course I ordered a latte instead of a cocktail lol. I enjoyed this latte! It surprisingly wasn’t too sweet. It had a good balance of coffee to sweetener ratio. 2) Great American Cheeseburger - My friend and I ordered this from the Sunset Hour menu. The burger was good and tasted as expected. 3) Fries - Since the burger didn’t come with fries, I ordered some on the side. They were shoe string fries topped with shredded cheese. The fries were also good. Pricing: I can only speak on their Sunse

I had not been back here for over 4-5yrs since they opened. It’s definitely a neighborhood’s cafe for sure. It’s in an apartment & shop complex even through it has it own separate area including parking. Plus it right next to the lagoon & park. They open all day except an hr break during weekly and 2hrs break during weekend after lunch services. The menu is quite nice unique and very tasty too. Yes the prices can be shocking and overwhelming but worth it with the quality of the foods and well cooked & good preparation/presentation. Service is great & friendly plus attentive, cause of that it could/might slow the lines (if you’re ordering from the cashier). The vibe here is great, open door and high ceiling with natural air and light make it more enjoyable and feel at ease. They do have indoor, back or side patio, front patio…pretty much any open area will be a seating area. Overall, great cafe place to hangout with friends and/or family or just solo and enjoys the moments.

Amazing breakfast! Wonderful spacious and cute ambiance! Best part is parking in front! The staff was kind, friendly, helpful and really showcased the passion and love for their restaurant. The staff checked in on us, they made our meals with love and it shows! I ordered the egg benny and my friend ordered the breakfast sandwich, plus we have the bread and the guava passion fruit jam was amazing! My favorite part was the hollandaise sauce that they used on eggs benny, it was almosted like a light whipped cream texture compared to the standard runny pudding texture. It was to die for and I highly recommend it!

Our favorite coffee spot. A calm, cozy atmosphere, incredibly kind and attentive staff, and the owner, such a sweetheart, truly lovely. You can really feel the care and love in the whole Ubuntu experience. If you’re in Long Beach, it should definitely be on your list of places to visit. ☕✨
