Recreational Coffee

Visited Tues morning on the final week of April, 2026. I flew into Long Beach for a conference & love trying unique coffee spots, such as this one! The space feels open w/ a good blend of brick facade & modern day furniture. The daily drip was well made & tasted on-point. My g/f‘s chocolate cappuccino was excellent: not too sweet nor excess coffee to make it bitter. Our sandwiches, 2x sausage, egg, cheeses on a roll, were not greasy or tasted too fatty. It was a surprise! And, finally, the donuts were an exceptional treat: not overly sugary but a ‚smooth‘ taste This is a flat and easy 15min walk from the Long Beach Convention Center. And I recommend it to anyone looking for great coffee paired w/ decent food choices, too

This is such a cute, funky spot to get your caffeine fix. We ordered two iced almond orgeat lattes that we’re still talking about to this day. It basically tasted like an amaretto-inspired coffee, slightly nutty, a little sweet, and really smooth. Loved it. Not sure if it was just the timing, but the barista was working solo and handling everything, so definitely don’t come if you’re in a rush. They also use my favorite almond milk, which is always a plus.

Best neighborhood coffee shop! The shop’s ample seating and wifi make it a great spot to work or study. The baristas are personable and knowledgeable, and always helpful when I can’t make up my mind. The vibe is great and I’ve loved attending community events there. Plus, it helps that the drinks, pastries, and toasties are delicious. I’m partial to the green pineapple tea (iced)- it’s so refreshing and not too sweet. But I also love trying their seasonal creations! A current special, the espresso mule, is a delight!

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.

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.
