    When initially walking in, I just knew I'd like this place (dimly lit, upright pianos in the corners of the room, random student desks in the middle, a selection of books to read, TV with subtitles that you can actually read...). Employees were kind and service was fast. Got an iced BBM (blueberry matcha) while I was here- not that sweet, definitely recommend. Will be back whenever I can.

    Strawberry Matcha with Oat Milk
    Raquel M.

    Best strawberry matcha I've had! It was extremely balanced - no grassy or overly sweet taste.I don't know what took me so long to come here, but I'm so happy I did. The shop itself is very inviting with lots of seating options, a piano (hence the name) and album covers on the walls. When I went there were people ordering to go, while others worked on their laptops or just hung out with friends or family. I will be back to try the coffee options, mainly my go to Vanilla Latte.

    Spanish latte & iced matcha latte
    Jacqueline G.

    My family & I probably visit 88keys about 2-3 times a month. My go to order here is the iced banana latte. It's soo good. Love their banana flavor. Coffee isn't bitter. The taste is always consistent. Their matcha isn't bad either. I tried it before and although I can't remember much - I know it wasn't bad. It's been awhile since I've ordered a matcha latte from here since my go to is the banana drink. My daughter loves chocolate milk & will always order their iced chocolate milk. She says it's one of her fave chocolate milks she's tried. My husband is a hot coffee type of guy so he always gets the Spanish latte. It's one of his fave places to get the Spanish latte. The indoor decor/setup is cute. Some weekends that we've dropped by, there's a vendor outside making burritos. I've seen a couple of pop up tables selling trinkets such as bags, stickers, other knickknacks.

    BBL (Blueberry latte) is what made me come. It was a 7/10 too milky barley taste the espresso or blueberry.  Cookie Butter was really good.

    Coffee is okay. Dry customer service, place is very nice and quiet. Wouldn't come back.

    This place has always been here for quite a while and never gave it a chance until the other day. When I entered it was quite packed, they have a bit of seating, but there were several people standing waiting for their order I personally liked their interior design filled with vinyl records and a piano. I ordered an Iced Americano and I enjoyed it compared to other Americanos at other places. It felt very smooth to me and the vanilla syrup I added to it created a nice touch of flavor in it.

    Great place to work or study. Really good drinks with trendy atmosphere and music. Plenty of seats and chargers. Parking was a bit snug but was still able to find a space in the shopping center. I got an earl gray iced tea with honey (total $5 and ir was great) it was presented on a spinning record which was unique and on brand! The two gentlemen working the coffee bar were friendly and had a sense of urgency to bring out orders which was great.

    Was looking for a close independently owned copy place in the area. I was also looking for somewhere where I could sit and get some work done. This place fits the bill. I ordered this ice Spanish latte and it was really flavorful and not too sweet get some work done with their free Wi-Fi. Staff was friendly helpful and services really fast. It's close to 90° today and there was no air-conditioning inside, but it wasn't too uncomfortable

    Came here with my partner and our pups for a new spot to try. Really liked the decor inside quirky, but homey feel to it. I like the bigger community seating style table as well as the living room set up and individual tables as well. Nicley done to accommodate a single person or a group. We ordered a pastry, cortado and a chai latte. Pastry wasn't anything special pretty standard coffee shop pasties, the cortado was pretty good but the Chai left me with a "meh" feeling. Very watered down with how much milk was used. I would have liked to taste more Chai. Other than that not bad and it's nice to see that Lakewood has a few coffee shops out there we can visit. Would we come back.. we have our favorites but if we are in the area sure why not. Beats Starbucks or any big box name.

    This coffee shop is a nice hole in the wall type of place great coffee and customer service from Oscar and Lily! They were able to explain their specialty drinks and notes and flavor. They were both On Key with their recommendations and quick service. They have some nights with live music all type and even open Mike night. It is a super welcoming place to be. Coffee was greasy notes and you can taste the quality of grain. The matcha is a nice touch, actual matcha that is not pre-sweetened but with many flavor options. The empanadas are very fresh a savory and cooked to perfection. I will definitely be coming back to this shop just for coffee and great times

    Mango matcha
    Anthony T.

    To be honest, wasn't impressed on the mango matcha I got there was nothing special about it and it was made in 30 seconds .. where's the love ? Ive had plenty of matchas and this one was not it. I could barely taste the mango and the matcha didn't taste the best. The inside was really cute and well put together Though no complaints there. I'd give it another shot but not getting any matcha from here. It was nice how fast my drink came out but I wish it tasted better that's all.

    Mexican Mocha Add hazelnut cold foam Add biscoff crumbles
    Tara F.

    This shop is located in a plaza right on the corner of the main street next to Carls jr cant miss it so theres enough parking spots. Originally came here for their "mixtape" latte but they discontinued it and so the very helpful gentleman suggested i get the mexican mocha so i did but with a few little tweaks.. Order: Mexican Mocha Substitute almond milk Add hazelnut cold foam Add butter cookie (biscoff) crumbles Came out to $9.50 All lattes come w 2 shots btw so i was delighted this drink was delicious top tier! The inside however was a little muggy and hot. they were about to close and people were still coming in hot so you already know this place is worth it I recommend!

    Banana Latte(Oat Milk) Brown Sugar Cold Foam
    J Li Woo ..

    2nd time here and I found my new favorite coffee shop in LB, this is the banana latte(oat milk) with brown sugar cold foam the best coffee I've have stateside . I also tried the cookie butter latter without cold foam which was very good.

    Strawberry fields
    Linh P.

    For the person who said that the strawberry fields coffee is too strong, try mixing your drink prior to consumption. I was in the area and wanted a pick me up. From my yelp research, the coffee options here sound intriguing. They have a great selection of coffee and teas. The strawberry fields caught my eye. The strawberry is so smooth. Good amount of coffee. A regular asked for something off the menu and I think they made him one! It's a great spot to hang out. They have 2 cool pianos. The bathroom is clean. Lots of outlets if you want to hang out and work or study. They do close early on sundays. But check it out if you are in the area.

Let me just say, Padekwa is so much more than a coffee shop. It's a community space that hosts pop-up events, Sip & Paint nights, Open Mic nights, and even R&B and Gumbo nights. It's the kind of place where people come together to enjoy great coffee and great company. Now, let's talk about the coffee! They offer an impressive variety of specialty coffees and matcha drinks, and you can even add collagen to your beverage. I ordered the praline coffee with a sprinkle of brown sugar and added collagen. It was absolutely delicious--smooth, rich, and full of flavor. Every sip was worth it! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it easy to relax, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy the moment. It's clear that Padekwa is about creating an experience, not just serving coffee.

So I stopped by to get an ice Americano. The vibe of the coffee shop is very nice. Open layout study rooms perfect if you want to study or if you're going to meet up with friends. The other thing is the barista was very friendly and inviting. I should have known when I asked her if they had ice coffee, she said yes and responded with we can make you an ice Americano, which it's not the same. However, I decided to order an ice Americano. The other thing is I ordered a turkey sandwich which was very good and had a lot of favor. By the time, when my order comes out, I take it to my car and start drinking it, I started sipping my coffee, not realizing that I had coffee grounds inside, I was already late to work, so I did not want to go back or to make any fuss about it. Which couple hours later I just wanted to call the store to ask them if they can remake it or if there's anything that can do, they do not say anything about that and not acknowledge that my coffee was pretty much coffee grounds, and water. Which I was very sympathetic and told them I don't know if they calibrated the machine in the morning because I can in the morning. At the end of the story, she said thank you for letting us that our machine is not calibrated and she said goodbye. I really like this place I like the vibe I like the small family Business own. but if I'm gonna receive a terrible coffee order with a side of terrible customer service it's not worth driving here. At this point, I would rather just go to Starbucks and save myself a couple dollars. I am tired of small little businesses, not taking time and effort to really understand how to make a good cup of coffee. And they be charging a leg and an arm for it. Now that I'm reading the reviews, nobody talks about the coffee here. they talk about the environment and the food, which I do agree the food and the environment is very nice.

Very convenient, lol. After browsing a couple pics on Yelp, I decided to try their chai latte. (Since moving to Long Beach from San Diego two years ago, I've been DYING for a creamy cup of chai. Everywhere I'd tried so far was just a spicy cup of hot tea -- not creamy or very sweet at all. I had honestly given up looking but something about Wolf's made me try theirs.) I'm SO glad I did! I've FINALLY found my perfect cup of creamy chai latte in Long Beach! I don't live super close, but you bet I'll be making the 10-15 minute drive to get my chai latte fix every so often.

The upbeat music, welcoming atmosphere, and great customer service made for a wonderful first impression. They offer an assortment of unique coffee flavors that go beyond the usual menu, which was a nice change from the typical coffee chain. And let's talk about the coffee cakes--they not only looked amazing but tasted absolutely divine! One thing I also appreciated was the comfortable seating and the amazing artwork. Whether you're catching up with friends, having a casual meeting, or just enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, there are plenty of places to sit, relax, and chat while enjoying your drink and a sweet treat. Like most specialty coffee shops, the prices are a little higher than making coffee at home, but honestly, they're not much different from the larger coffee franchises. If you're looking to support a local coffee shop and want to try something different from the usual chain cafés, I definitely recommend Coffee Cakes. It's a great place for delicious coffee, amazing pastries, good conversation, and a relaxing atmosphere. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

It's a pretty spacious shop with plenty of seating, and I absolutely love how they play nostalgic R&B music non-stop. After checking out what they had available that day, we ordered four drinks and three coffee cakes between the two of us. Unsurprisingly, we couldn't finish it all in one sitting, but we were committed to the attempt since everything looked amazing. For the drinks we ordered the Honey kiss latte, Lucky charms latte (marshmallow syrup and foam), Biscoff matcha, and Strawberry matcha. I personally liked the two lattes better than the matchas, but everything was good despite being on the sweeter side. As for their signature coffee cakes, we purchased the toffee nut coffee cake, lemon blueberry coffee cake, and school house coffee cake. Let me start by saying the slices were huge, and they were definitely generous with their portions. Our favorite of the three was the lemon blueberry because of how moist it was. My least favorite was the school house rock because it was pretty dry, in my opinion. All in all, I will definitely be back the next time I get a coffee cake craving. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.
