Best Waterfront Breakfast in Long Beach · Long Beach, CA
Schooner or Later is a Long Beach breakfast institution on the marina, a bustling patio café overlooking the boats where locals line up for oversized morning plates. Its famous 'The Mess' — eggs, potatoes, cheese, and the works piled high — earned a spot on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
Open early with a full bar and marina views, Schooner or Later has been the Long Beach waterfront's go-to weekend breakfast for decades.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Schooner or Later (2025). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
