Marlena Long Beach
5854 E Naples Plaza, Long Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Marlena is a charming outdoor-focused spot in Long Beach where warm, down-to-earth service pairs beautifully with creative dishes like their melt-in-your-mouth baby sweet potato starter and thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks. The cozy, Instagram-worthy atmosphere makes it equally perfect for a girls' night out or a relaxed family breakfast, though come prepared for intimate street parking and an entirely open-air experience that captures the best of Southern California dining.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Wow wow wow. THIS place deserves all the attention & praise! I would dare to say it’s in the top 10 restaurants I’ve been to. From the moment we walked in, we loved the vibe, so cozy, warm, and family style. They have a wood fired oven where you can watch them make the pizzas.…
