Happy Cow Kitchen - Long Beach

What an incredible local jewel, if you are lucky to find yourself there during the limited opening hours, you will have an incredible cookie experience. During the week they bake for restaurants, the weekend you can stop and flower on a sugar high. This is the craftsmanship that can only come from a small local company that has grown into the right balance of sugar, flour, skills, freedom and life. Cookies are large, chewing, unique and tasty. When you talk to the owners, you will hear their perspectives of chefs instead of bakers. And then, if you chop the pastries, you will realize this training in the taste of their baking. Obviously, my new favorite place. It's okay with coffee. Yum.

I absolutely love Happy Cow Kitchen! I recently relocated to this area of Long Beach and have discovered this little gem where I can enjoy a big cup of coffee and an amazing selection of pastries, quiches, and more. I want to try everything on the menu! Everything I've had so far has been fresh and delicious! A long walk helps me justify indulging in all the treats! The owner is warm and engaging, and she truly values her customers. She takes great pride in her restaurant, and rightfully so!

I've been here before about 6 months ago because I love to support small local business and everything was great. But the last two occasions have been very disappointing. The cream in the cream horn was slightly sour and the pastry very dry. I'm afraid it seemed to be a little stale. At the time I thought I may have caught these guys on an off day, so I gave them another chance and tried the quiche but it was obviously not as fresh as you would expect. So I won't be back, sorry.

A true gem of Long Beach. Claudette is amazing at baking anything and everything, the weekly specials and variety is amazing and Claudette is the nicest and kindest person! Definitely make the trip and get a Chocolate and Marmalade Croissant or any cake! It's the best

This place is absolutely fantastic! The pastries and desserts are simply to die for. My personal favorite is the chocolate and orange jam croissant. However, if Claudette has made a cheesecake on the day you visit, you definitely need to try it! Everything Claudette creates is amazing. You can tell she truly loves her job, as she genuinely values her customers. She remembers her regulars and is always delighted to chat with new visitors. My fiancée and I come here nearly every week, and we plan to keep coming back as long as we can!
