Best Breakfast in Long Beach · Long Beach, CA
The Potholder Cafe has been a downtown Long Beach breakfast fixture since the 1970s, a bustling, come-as-you-are room serving a huge roster of egg scrambles, pancakes, and breakfast burritos to a loyal, tattooed-to-tourist cross-section of the city.
Generous portions, strong coffee, and an easygoing vibe made the original Broadway location a Long Beach staple — the sort of no-fuss breakfast joint the whole town claims as its own.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after The Potholder Cafe cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
