The Wild Chive

When a vegan foodie friend came to visit California recently, we went here for brunch, and it was fabulous. The service was great, our server was so cool, and the decor and vibe were on point. ALL of the food was so good, including the fried pickles! I got the French toast and cleaned my plate. My friend also loved her breakfast entree, made of tofu. I would definitely return, and I’m not even a vegan. Check the hours - they aren’t open late. Parking is just street parking and in the residential neighborhood.

Food was delicious, my sandwich was super flavorful and coffee was great. Service and atmosphere were lovely. Thank you so much!!!

I'm not a vegan but I definitely would recommend this place to anyone who wants to give vegan food a chance. One of the best vegan brunch spots that I've had! I got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and it was amazing. They made it with house made condensed oat milk and I can't wait to go back to have more! We also got the Monte Cristo, Zucchini bites and Mushroom burger! So so good!!

I loved my Lunch/Brunch. The Vietnamese Coffee was perfect and balanced. I had a Monte Cristo sandwich with fries. Also excellent. While it’s always difficult to balance plant based food to their meat counterparts I think they did well. Could have been a tad Smokey -er. It was still well made and the jam was excellent. Next time a bring a bunch of friends to enjoy this local goodness. And did I mention the sweeten condensed oat milk was made on site? Bravo.

First time we try this place and it has become our new fav brunch/lunch spot in Long Beach right away! The food is super tasty and healthy, definitely one of the best vegan food I ever had in LA. Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. To top it off, the patio tables and indoor/outdoor space make it very dog friendly which was perfect for our dog (it’s also 5min from Rosie’s beach, so very convenient!)
