Delicious breakfast, brunch and lunch, serving extremely generous Bellinis! Famous and popular joint downtown that opened a second shop blocks from the house! Enjoy the delicious food and vibes a short walk going east rather than towards Retro Row and avoid the downtown crowds and lines. You won't be disappointed!

Grab a bike, your rollerblades, a scooter, a pair of sneakers or flip flops to enjoy the unique Long Beach boardwalk. There is plenty of space for everyone and it extends from downtown all the way to Belmont Shore. Room for wheels, runners or strollers, pick your wander style or take to the super soft sand and not-so-freezing water line to enjoy a cool and uniquely Long Beach day at the beach. Stop at Saltwater Deck for a drink or snack right on the beach.

Chuck's is a coffee shop serving breakfast in Belmont Shore. "Locally world famous", the owner, Chuck, is known for a food dish called the Weasel. It is a scrambled egg plate topped with chili. Delicious and hearty for breakfast, it is the best cure for a hangover among college students from Cal State Long Beach.
