We came in with hopes up having some delicious & beautiful coffee, along with a pastry before hopping on our cruise. When we arrived the place looked a little dirty & the pastries visually looked unappetizing with some wrapped up looking days old. We decided just to get coffee. Visually, the coffee was amazing! Taste wise, the coffee tasted old, and dirty like the machine needed cleaning. For 8 dollar coffees, I expect way more. Overall super disappointed and wouldn’t go back.

Stopped in as part of my 2026 January Coffee Tasting month and grabbed a cup of the day’s drip—so glad I did. The barista set the tone right away with a warm, genuinely welcoming vibe.
Drip: Mexico 🇲🇽 from Finca Las Chicharras — Bourbon & Caturra beans. Bright citrus notes up front, a soft hint of black tea, and a cozy honey finish. I added a splash of vanilla honey milk and it tied everything together beautifully
Simple, comforting, and thoughtfully crafted. This cup absolutely delivered 💯

My wife and I visited while on vacation from Massachusetts, where we own a groovy coffee shop of our own.

We know great espresso, great food, and great service—and this place truly has all three.

On top of that, it has a relaxed, chill vibe with plenty of seating. Easily a five-star experience.

What a fantastic find!! We are coffee shop owners in Massachusetts and try to find Indy coffee shops when we travel to see what others are up to. I got espresso and it was soooo good. Smooth and served in a cute little cup. Thanks for being awesome!!

I tried 3 different cafes in Long Beach and this one was hands down my favorite. The winter berry house specialty latte was unforgettable. One of the best original drinks I've had ever

Loved it!!!! Got turned away at another coffee shop nearby by some woman with attitude. So I went here instead, was the most pleasant experience. Had a great coffee, will come back again.

I'm a coffee snob from Seattle and by far the espresso here is the best in Long Beach. Even the decaf is stellar. The staff is incredibly sweet and they always host fun art community events like poetry jams and zine fests! Only complaint is they always have the AC blasted. Aside from that, 5 stars ❤️

Great environment and service. The quick coffee was also super tasty. However the value on the breakfast sandwich was not great. It's over $10 for a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, and the egg was very small. If the bacon weren't sticking out of the sides, you wouldn't even see any substantive ingredients between the buns.

Got greeted warmly the second I walked in. Exposed brick walls which is a rarity! Delicious espresso and comfy couches. Love this place wish I was closer
