Locally World Famous


I love corny sayings like "Locally World Famous." That's one of the reasons I like Chuck's Coffee Shop. The other is that Chuck is usually there, welcoming you, shaking your hand, offering you coffee, asking how your life is going. He had a sailboat named "The Weasel" and that's where he invented his omelette filled with chili and cheese. Someone told him it was so good he should open a coffee shop. So he found this odd-shaped place in Long Beach and now it's packed every Sunday morning. When I go to Chuck's I feel good about life because it's filled with ordinary people and a warm sense of community. No wonder it's "Locally World Famous."

  1. Pete,

    There is a great bike path along the beach that leads directly to Chucks... and a steaming cup of coffee.
