A central location on Long Beach's main strip, an eclectic assortment of recycled furniture and antiques, friendly owners, and terrific Arabica coffee beans from Dalat are more than enough reasons to choose this creatively decorated nook.

Though overwhelmingly touristy, the night market's animated vendors and buckets of fresh seafood, which are cooked to order, provide some eye-catching visuals and seafood dinners here can be a memorable experience, especially for a group.

This cute little café has an Asian fusion menu that has a vegetarian section and a good selection of drinks, including Pasteur Street craft beer on tap and a sizeable menu for wine by the glass.
