Alder & Sage - Long Beach (CA)

5 /5 Bridgid Conn: Very cute restaurant space! Everything wr ordered was delicious. Highly recommend the whiskey caramel latte especially if you like sweet. Also highly recommend the polenta with mushrooms, shakshuka, and pear salad! Great service and atmosphere:)

5 /5 Emiko Kawashima: We decided to go there to listen to our friend’s band on Thursday. We arrived there at 6 pm and found a parking space (public parking) next to it. We paid $7 for two hours. Once inside the restaurant, we situated ourselves at a comfortable booth seats and near the music stage. We ordered a couple of drinks, appetizers to listen to the music. The staff checked in a few times to make sure we were okay, which was a nice gesture. Our appetizers were tasty and right amount. We left the restaurant happy after two hours.

5 /5 MR. GOODCAT: If you’re really into baristas with booger hugger nose rings, then this place is for you! Also the food is delish, the coffee is pretty good and the pastries are yum yum… It’s an authentic Long Beach experience a little on the pricey side but in line with very good quality. Recommended but not required ;)

3 /5 Erwan Chatelet: Cute place, but average food. The inside is stylish and the coffee was good and original, but the food was not "great". The french toast was dry, and the mojo pork was not very tasty (but the potatoes were really good). Not the worst and still 3/5 stars, but not as good as expected, specially for the price.

4 /5 Mulan Novilla: GREAT FOOD & VIBES, BAD SERVER EXPERIENCE I booked a table for 14 for my birthday on a Sunday afternoon and they seated us in the large bench table outside, perfect setting. We unfortunately had a bad experience with our server Cole, whose attitude made one of my guests feel unwelcome and embarrassed when she asked for a cup of ice. We also asked him to take a photo of our party outside the restaurant after we had paid, but he said he had to immediately clear our table when he could’ve spared a minute or two. I love this restaurant and the food and the vibes and I had great service the last time I was here, which is why I was so taken aback by my experience with this server. It was a pretty busy day so I understand the stress and hustle of catering to a 14 person table, but I feel like our experience was less than satisfactory because of these moments. I will still be returning because the food & coffee were very good— their signature seasonal drinks were amazing as always, the mazapán latte and guava cloud iced tea were perfect summer drinks. I also really liked the chicken wraps, portion size was perfect and everything was fresh.
