Hof's Hut
Best Family Restaurant in Long Beach · CA
A Long Beach family table since 1951
Hof's Hut began as a 1950s coffee shop in Long Beach when Harold Hofman opened the first location in 1951, and grew into a beloved Southern California family restaurant and bakery. The all-day menu spans breakfast classics, patty melts, and comfort plates, backed by a case of house-baked pies and cakes.
Warm, unpretentious, and multi-generational, Hof's Hut is the Long Beach coffee-shop tradition families have marked birthdays and Sunday breakfasts at for decades.
