There's a new Vegetarian cafe located in Long Beach, California. One of the local rags did a write-up and I paid them a visit. Frankly parking was a little tight in this down town LB area called the Artist District, where there are plenty of new lofts being constructed. Since I’m interested in both walking through lofts (hoping to afford one of these puppies sooner than later) killing to birds with one stone, by eating and prowling new models was a fine way to spend 90 minutes. Using phrases like “killing two birds with one stone” as a vegetarian----just bugs my subconscious. Anyhow I digressed, walking into the Zephyr café was a bit concerning. The atmosphere is cold and sparse. Slowly I approached the counter in a manner in a totally uncommitted posture. Seeing a friendly, semi attractive young women with her warm smile comforted me and I committed to stay. I chose Teriyaki Vegetable and Tofu Bowl $7.25 and ice tea to sip. Taking a window seat to watch the world move by. The problem was the windows have strange soap like substance washed intentionally all over from ceiling to floor. I guess it’s there for a reason? I found it bothersome. A boy with a poker face served my meal and I enjoyed every last bite. There were many other things I wanted to check out on the generous selection, that I’d have to return soon. My hope is the staff and the room warm up a lot. So on my next visit I won’t need a blanket to keep my spirit warm while dinning. Oh and a window view would gain more value if I could really see out of it with out struggle. Other than tall the above mention---I liked it.
Open 11-8 Tuesday- Saturday 11-4 Sunday. (562) 435-7113 340 East 4TH Street LB,CA
