Am I the only one that thinks they need a second register ? It shouldn’t take 25 mins to get bread and coffee. Literally 25 mins wait while I witnessed people behind me leaving. A message to the owner. You’re losing money. I counted 21 customers waiting on a Saturday morning. Tight squeeze. lol. Not enough staff at all. One cashier. One making drinks and three back of the house. You need more help.

Chocolate croissant. Sourdough bread. Summertime mint lemonade. Breakfast sandwich. Breakfast burritos. Chocolate & blueberry financiers…. I can go on and on about my favorite things about Blacksmiths.It’s my favorite (no second best) bakery. But what makes it my favorite are the people. They truly care about the ingredients they use and the food they make. Whether it be breads, pastries, breakfast or lunch meals, it’s all made on site and sourced for their customers.And I can’t say enough good things about the people that work there. They’re really salt of the earth people.

We were introduced to Blacksmith's Bread at the Kennedy Plaza Farmers Market. Then again at the Farmers Market in Malverne, LI. Finally Blacksmith's Bread store opened up on Beech Street in the West End of Long Beach. It was a bit hard to find. Parking was impossible and they were out of the bread I wanted. I liked it better when it was at the markets in the summer. I think it is available at the enclosed shop in Malverne where Crossroads Farm was. It's worth a try there.But for me relying on the Long Beach store is too difficult. But the bread is excellent. Good luck getting it. (Photo from store website).Parking: Depending on the season and day of the week, parking can be so-so to impossible.

Ray and the team make amazing breads coffee and food. Best breakfast and bakery in Long Beach, a real gem and a pillar of the community! Try the BLT, the egg sandwiches, the specials, all are very good. My entire family has been going to Blacksmith for years and we all agree, best place to go in the West End for breakfast or brunch. Takeout is great too

Food was average. I like the overall selection of drinks/coffee. Unfortunately this place is a bit overpriced and it takes about 15min to get your food while 4 people are staffed in the kitchen. I’d not recommend coming here again.

Blacksmiths is a gem in Long Beach! I’ve tried every loaf and they’re all amazingly good for sandwiches or spreads. Pick up an iced latte or hibiscus teas, they’re so delicious. The kitchen staff is so friendly and make the atmosphere so homey! Would highly suggest this for a breakfast run or lunch.

Fantastic place- honestly the only good breakfast on Long Beach in my opinion. Not surprised a handful of adult babies would attempt to slander this business when it's made uncomfortably obvious the world doesn't revolve around them. They're busy as hell (for good reason!!) but the food is always worth the wait. Keep doin what you're doin!! Real food made with love is hard to come by.

Service was great, and they kindly redid my cappuccino when it was too heavy on the milk... which I appreciated. Even at 11am, there was a line out the door, so the double doors were propped out letting out all the AC out on a hot hot summer day. I wasn't crazy about my special of the day sandwich. The croissant on which it was served was bland and texture felt stale. It was definitely NOT hard from toasting, but probably from the humidity. Honestly I paid $19 for a sandwich that I only hate HALF of and then tossed the rest. Forcing down a dry sandwich isn't worth the calories, especially when it was nowhere on this side of yummy. Seating is tight.

After seeing the owners response I just want to add I don't have a bruised ego and am obviously not lying if you said she told me to put the stroller outside. Being a dad I'm not sure how you would feel if someone asked you to put your stroller outside that very clearly had a infant in it but whatever you think :) it also could've been said a lot nicer than can you leave your stroller outside by your bubbly worker but thank you for your reply!

The morning bun, blueberry crumb & hot coffee were outta this world! They even brought out some fresh butter to spread on top the bun. Excellent service, kind smiling faces. Don’t pass through LB without stopping by here.

This place is an absolute rip off in every way shape and form. After waiting 15 mins and having 5 people served before me who ordered after me, I realized that they completely forgot my order...then once I finally got the coffee it was lukewarm. Mediocre at best.

the quality of the pastries is great - but multiple times ive ordered when they are in the front and then they forget to out aside ..then sell it to others leaving me without the items i alright bought..may seem trivial but very frustrating and no accountability their end

Quaint bakery/cafe in the West End of Long Beach with great bread, a tasty food menu and exceptional coffee. Eat-in or grab something quick to-go and you will not be disappointed. While the seating may be limited, the charming decor is very inviting for a sit-in meal. The breakfast burrito (with chorizo) is one of my favorite meals in town - the flavor of the pickled veggies is noteworthy.
