I left my help review and her response is a lie i didn’t even fully read it bc she is lying immediately she said i sprayed my dog in the face? with a spray?? She claimed to have cameras she can show what really happen bc that’s a lie the lady was very rude and I stand on what I said she was disrespectful and didn’t say anything until we bought the coffee I understand to be money hungry but that is insane. I will not back down nor take my review down!! I am not intimidated by her response at all bc it’s A LIE THE LADY WAS MAD DOGGING THE WHOLE TIME!!!!

The ambiance is out of this world, but don't be misled by the storefront. It is quite large with many rooms. Food was fantastic! It took a while to get it, but I think that's because they didn't have enough people working. Coffee was great also!

Found my new favorite coffee café in Long Beach! The staff is so friendly and welcoming — excellent customer service and a true family-and-friends kind of vibe. I ordered a latte along with a pumpkin cinnamon roll and a slice of coffee cake. Everything was delicious! Both pastries were soft, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Portions were just right, and the prices were very reasonable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home!

From the moment my wife Debra and I walked into Padekwa Coffee and Creole Café, we knew we had discovered something truly special. This isn’t just a coffee shop—it’s an experience. The moment you step through the doors, you’re wrapped in a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a hug from family. The hospitality here is next level—genuine smiles, kind conversations, and a sense of community that’s hard to find these days.

Now let’s talk about the coffee… WOW. Bold, smooth, perfectly balanced—clearly made with love and expertise. But it doesn’t stop there. Every bite of their Creole specialties was packed with flavor and soul. You can taste the tradition and care in every dish, and the variety ensures there’s something for everyone.

Whether you’re swinging by for a quick coffee or settling in for a full meal, Padekwa will exceed your expectations. We HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food, incredible service, and a place that just feels right.

This is now officially our go-to spot—and YES, we’ll absolutely be back (again and again!).

With full hearts (and full bellies),
Damon & Debra Jones
