The Potholder Cafe
Best Breakfast in Long Beach · CA
Long Beach's breakfast headquarters
The Potholder Cafe has been a downtown Long Beach breakfast fixture since the 1970s, a bustling, come-as-you-are room serving a huge roster of egg scrambles, pancakes, and breakfast burritos to a loyal, tattooed-to-tourist cross-section of the city.
Generous portions, strong coffee, and an easygoing vibe made the original Broadway location a Long Beach staple — the sort of no-fuss breakfast joint the whole town claims as its own.
