There’s no major debate that The Breakfast Bar is one of the most popular and respected breakfast joints in the city: It’s been named by Yelp! as one of the 100 Best Brunch Spots\u00a0in the United States<\/a>, it’s been featured on our Essential Breakfast Joints list<\/a>, and it’s just generally adored by the community, especially in the Downtown.<\/p>\n

Now, owners Pam and Joshua Beadel hope to expand their popularity further with the opening of their second location, set to take over the former Francelli’s space (which closed recently<\/a>) near the southeast corner Fourth Street and Redondo Avenue.<\/p>\n

“We are so excited,” Pam said. “Josh has been looking for a new spot for two years\u2014and this was just the perfect second location for us. We have keys and the old restaurant is cleared out; all we’re really waiting on is the asbestos results.”<\/p>\n

With hopes to be open by December, they plan on having operating hours as follows: 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday while weekends will have service from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

Yes, that means breakfast for dinner.<\/p>\n

When The Breakfast Bar opened in 2013\u2014in a joint that once tried to create a Margaritaville-like space complete with tinted windows, fake straw hut roofing, and a complete lack of tact\u2014Long Beach didn\u2019t quite know what they were getting.<\/p>\n

The Breakfast Bar is the place you go to get breakfast food you can\u2019t get elsewhere. Their Hung Over plate\u2014a dish of fries slathered in gravy, eggs, sausage, pico de gallo, and sour cream\u2014is nothing short of wondrous (and acts very Hair of the Dog-ish when paired with one of their breakfast Mai Tais or mimosas).<\/p>\n

Uncle Marcee\u2019s Omelet Casserole\u2014a dish that is prepared a day ahead\u2014is worth every eggy, cheesy bite. Hell, even their Naked Cakes\u2014whole wheat berries freshly ground, blended with buttermilk, and stacked after grilling\u2014are easily the best pancakes in DTLB.<\/p>\n

In other words, it will be a welcomed addition to the nearby breakfast joints like Coffee Cup Cafe and serve as an offshoot for those unwilling to wait during The Attic’s packed brunch hours.<\/p>\n
