This is probably my favorite place to go when I need a day off from life! I love the iced coffee they make weather it's Martin or the owner Samone! It's just good Iced Coffee! Today I asked about the soup of the day-what a selection! I chose Butter Nut Squash a healthy option, along with a Chicken Cordon Bleu Panini Sandwich; my mouth is already watering just writing this post ! I can't wait! If you are in the neighborhood make it a point to stop by the Gathering Cafe! You'll love the food and atmosphere! They are open until 3pm so just allow yourself time to enjoy the experience!

What a cozy little cafe in Long Beach. The Gathering Cafe is located on the corner of E Village Road and Montair Ave. There is no lot to park in, so you'll need to street park in the neighborhood. The space is very open with its purple painted walls on the coffee bar side, and pictures hung up on the white walls across the room. There were a out 6 tables or so, the staff was kind enough to add another table to sit our party of 6. There is a singular restroom near the back which also leads out to patio seating. We ordered crepes which were a good portion of the menu, but they have sandwiches and soups. As a part of a food crawl with friends we split the Chicken Marsala, Burrito, and Creme Brulee crepes. The Chicken Marsala crepe was delicious, the sauce was creamy. Nice cheese pull too, chunks of chicken throughout. The Crepe Burrito was a nice take on a breakfast burrito using a crepe instead of a tortilla. I really liked how light it made it. Eggs were fluffy, with bits of bacon throughout and the spicy salsa was perfect. The creme Brulee crepe was a nice ending. It wasn't totally creme brulee but it wasn't bad by any means. Custard in with bananas and strawberries, simple but still light and just the right amount of sweet. I also ordered a Salty Caramel Latte. It was a little on the sweeter side but not overly sweet. Nice foam and smooth going down. This place is a perfect brunch spot if you're looking for one. Would come back to try more crepes!

Came here for breakfast for the first time. The food didn't disappoint--perfect portions and just what breakfast should be. Tasted like a hug in your mouth. The place is quaint and feels like a neighborhood cafe. Service was personable and attentive. Will be coming back fo' sho'!

I'm so happy we have a new breakfast spot that serves excellent crepes! I've been craving it so much since La Creperie closed. This place makes really good Chicken Marsala. It was filling and good for sharing. I can't wait to go back and try the rest on the menu. Street parking is easy to find. Come early because they get pretty busy. There's more seatings outdoor in the back if you have a bigger group. I love that this place is kid-friendly.

This is a nice quaint cafe with a small patio out back. The menu costs it of mostly Crepes and Sandwiches along with Coffee and Smoothies. I'm always a sucker for a good Panini so I ordered the Italian. It was good but not great, so as I'm expected I suppose. The service was good, but the kitchen was slow, so I would recommend this place if you about to starve, but it's nice to meet with some old friends and break bread with some good conversation. They offer a free Regular Crepe for Yelpers, and we opted to add Bananas and Strawberries for $2.25. It made for a really nice desert.

I was finally able to make it to The Gathering Cafe to try some crepes after having it bookmarked for some time. We received a friendly greeting immediately from one of the owners (Samone) when we walked in. Samone was very friendly, energetic, and enthusiastic during her interactions with us and you can tell she really cares about giving customers a great experience. She was able to give us recommendations and talk about some of the menu changes and seasonal specials they have. We ended up deciding of two savory crepes. One was a lox crepe and the other had chicken, spinach, tomatoes (I think) and a white sauce. We also received a free sweet crepe for checking in with Yelp. If I had to rank them, I'd say the sweet was the best of the 3. It had strawberries, bananas, and a light cream that wasn't overly sweet. The savory crepes were solid, although I do think they tasted as if they were missing something to make it stand out. The chicken one could have used a bit more salt. Other than that this place has a large variety of other crepes and coffees on the menu that may be interesting to try. I did get a change to try the expresso/condensed milk new item on the menu and it was a nice strong and sweet pick me up.

Located near Heartwell Park and Village Rd in Long Beach, this creperie is hidden and it's interesting! I came on a weekday for breakfast and it was quiet. Ambiance feels like you're in a home patio in Lakewood and service was friendly, but not doting. Talked to chef and they've been around for 7 years locally and 17 years in LB. This was previously known as "delightful crepes". I've lived here for a while, but didn't know this place was here as it's hidden from the busy traffic. Was only able to hear about this through yelp and their huevos rancheros crepe is what caught my eye. Their huevos rancheros was nice. It gave me bean and cheese burrito vibes, but their runny egg and homemade salsa were nice. I mean that in the best way possible. I did want a boost of spice/heat, so I added some habanero hot sauce. I didn't miss a tortilla as their freshly made crepe was a fun substitute; however a crispy texture (crispy onion/crisped tortilla strips, crisped potato strings) could have elevated it further. Apparently, you could order "house potatoes" as a side dish and I think I should have done that. Their most popular crepe is apparently their chicken marsala crepe, but their chili relleno crepe special caught my eye. I Checked in and they had a "yelp check in deal" for a complementary classic crepe, which was a simple crepe with brown butter and brown sugar. It was the perfect dessert and palate cleanser. Next time I come back, I'd like to try their custard filled, "creme brulee crepe". I did order a salted caramel latte and they use the torani syrups to flavor the coffee. Their hours are limited, but they're open for brunch hours daily. Support small business! Important Note: CASH/VENMO/ZELLE ONLY

Had a pleasant brunch! Owner/Manager was super friendly and had a few nice chats! First time here and we ordered the "meatless" meatball soup, Caesar salad, and basic breakfast. Drinks: Thai Iced Tea & Pumpkin Spice Latte. Everything was good! Looking forward to trying different items on their menu!

Quaint and homey cafe that seems to be able to transport customers to an exotic neighborhood, The Gathering Cafe offers plenty of interesting brews, but it's the large selection of crepes that really steals the show. It was my first visit, and the chicken marsala crepe opened my mind on what's possible with a well prepared crepe. It's not only delicious and flavorful, but it's a substantial crepe filled with high-quality ingredients. Every bite is a blessing. Perhaps because it's tucked away in the back of a shopping center, it was not crowded during lunch time. The clientele tends to be older too. I was the youngest customer, and I am already in my fifties. They serve breakfast and lunch, and close early at 3:00 pm. Soak in the nostalgic vibe of the restaurant and be ready to be transported to a different dining experience.

What a cute and delicious surprise! Felt like having a crepe for brunch and what a cool surprise to see the huge selection of crepes here! The decision was hard but ended up going with a chicken enchilada crepe! So different so fun! Homemade batter for the crepes, homemade enchilada sauce! Definitely would get again. Also had a cup of their nopales, bean and potato soup! So good highly recommend but it was the soup of the day so do not know when it will be there again! How was the service might you ask? Excellent and very attentive to all our needs. Only thing I wish they offered was sugar free syrup as a few of my family members always prefer that but no big deal.
