Spreading holiday cheer can leave the wallet a little light this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through our Eat See Do newsletter<\/a> (sent out every Thursday) we put out a call to readers to send in their favorite cheap breakfast spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With those suggestions \u2013 and a few of our own \u2013 here\u2019s a list of Long Beach eateries where you can grab a good breakfast for under $10:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our reporter John recommends Long Beach\u2019s best-kept breakfast secret in the Alamitos Beach neighborhood. The Long Beach Senior Center is open to the public and everything on the menu is under $5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For $4.50, you can choose a breakfast burrito, a breakfast sandwich or a breakfast plate that comes with scrambled eggs, two pieces of bacon or sausage, a hashbrown and toast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee, tea and hot chocolate are all available for $1 for the regular size or $1.25 for the large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Friendly Cup Cafe is open 8 a.m. to noon every day except Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Library Coffee House (3418 East Broadway)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reader Julie recommended the breakfast sandwiches from this cozy Bluff Park coffee shop. Heartier options cost $8.25 while simpler breakfast sandwiches are $6.75.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastries are also available ranging from $3.75 for a croissant to $4.75 for a cream cheese danish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Library Coffee House is open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grounds Bakery & Cafe (6277 East Spring Street)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Grounds, a family-owned cafe near El Dorado Park, has an array of breakfast options under $10. Those include various omelets, skillets and breakfast sandwiches on your choice of bread, bagel or croissant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the only options that tops $10 is the huge triple-decker sandwich that comes with two eggs, ham, two sausage patties, four slices of bacon and two types of cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grounds Bakery & Cafe is open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leo\u2019s Mexican Grill (225 E Broadway)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reader and Downtown Long Beach business owner Kimberly recommended Leo\u2019s breakfast burritos, which are $6.50 between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Link<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Choose between bacon, ham, sausage, chorizo or machaca, but if you place a phone order you must pick up your burrito by 10 a.m. to get the discount price. Bonus tip, their taco Tuesday and taco Friday deals are great for a cheap lunch at only $1.75 per taco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leo\u2019s Mexican Grill is open daily from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still hungry? Here are a couple more suggestions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reader Julie also recommends Manna Donuts <\/b>(3199 Pacific Coast Highway) for the $7 ham and cheese croissant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m partial to DoLy\u2019s Delectables<\/b> (245 East Broadway) for their $6.75 breakfast sandwich or any of the freshly baked pastries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
