Although the line may look long, it moves quickly! The team is efficient and keeps things flowing, and the coffee consistently hits the spot. One time, I tipped them via the drive through and it seemed they were not expecting it which made me sad because they deserve it, they work hard in the shop. This is definitely a reliable stop when I'm craving a good cup without having to leave my car.

    I need to not cheat on my PCH Tierra Mia…read more I never go anywhere else except the PCH one. Guess what I did? Visit the one on Carson st. Horrible idea. Short drive through, extends onto Carson st. The wait time was maybe 30 minutes. They were slammed for sure. I ordered my usual horchata matcha. First sip. Milk. Shake, shake, shake. Another sip. Milk with a taste of matcha. It was NOT my horchata matcha that I always get. I was extremely saddened by this. I threw away the drink. I'm going to stick to my pch girl from now on. If I was pregnant I would be throwing the biggest fit. I still did, but imagine. Ugh my craving was not satisfied. If you want to sit inside good luck, that parking lot has like 4 spots and I'm sure the employees use them. Otherwise street parking will be your only option. They have an updated menu with flan & banana items at the time I went 05/22/26. It's attached in my photos to view.

This review, however, is motivated out of my desire to offer major props to the young man - I think I overheard something like Sip? - working this morning. This guy was on his A game, multitasking and juggling multiple tasks with perceived ease and being pleasant and accommodating all at the same time. Great job! Your effort is noticed and appreciated. Thanks for that. Had it not been for this (and their delicious pastries), I'd give Cyclops a 3 - 4 stars because I have a real bone to pick with paying for a larger Americano and getting the same number of shots regardless. I don't like when businesses do that so that would have otherwise been a major ding for me.

I got a croissant and they warmed it up for me. It was flaky and good, but wow was it buttery! My fingers were covered in grease and i got it all over my laptop. Oops. I wish they had a bigger selection of pastries. I got there at around 11 and their case was pretty bare. Usually my go-to stop in Long Beach for coffee because it's super convenient to get to, but parking can be tough!

    Ehhh, very overrated boba shop, imo. Picked up on this place due to some social media posts I got…read moreshown by friends, but the jelly they show on top of the drinks is actually just a topping that ends up in the drink. It's...ok? I've tried a few of their drinks, but I don't find the tea tasting special at all. The jelly are fine, but also nothing particularly stand out. My first visit I waited like 20mins near closing, which is waaaay better than the hour it was beforehand. And on a recent visit there was essentially no wait. I'm not sure I'd come back as I have other boba shops I much prefer nearby me.

    Hechalou ceased to exist at this location. I suspect that owners broke away from the franchise and…read morestarted their own boba business at the same location. They changed the name subtle enough to avoid a lawsuit, but the changes in the menu and the quality of the drinks are far more drastic, and it's not for the better. Gone are the traditional teas and sesame jelly that made Hechalou so famous. These options are replaced by cheap imitations of Starbucks' frothy drinks that sound good on paper but taste like iced piss with sugar. The drinks are excessively sweet, a mortal sin by Asian standard, and they have a generic taste that might as well have one item on the entire menu. Alas, to get a sip of the old favorites, now I have to drive across town instead of stop by after work. I am glad that I got my many trips here before the old guards died, and it's probably better for my hemoglobin A1c in the long run.

    This is probably one of my top coffee shops in Long Beach! My go-to is the vanilla honey oat…read morelatte, and omg, it is SO good! The staff is always super nice and welcoming too. I've tried their breakfast sandwiches, which I definitely recommend, but my absolute favorite is the apple croissant It is sooo good! Honestly, it takes me right back to my childhood and the pastries my mom and I used to enjoy together. The guava croissant is also pretty yummy! I also buy their espresso beans because, you know, I can't come here every day lol. And if you buy a bag of coffee, they give you a free drip or iced coffee, which is such a nice little perk! One thing to keep in mind: if you come on a weekend morning, make sure you have a little extra time. The shop itself is pretty tiny, so they only allow about 5-6 people inside at a time, and the line can form outside. That said, they have tons of outdoor seating and even some additional indoor seating right next door, so there's still plenty of space to enjoy your coffee. Oh also, they do have customer bathroom inside the shop. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Long Beach and a place I'll keep coming back to!

My vehicle was hit in front of my home, and the incident was captured on camera. I work hard for what I have, so having my property damaged and then having to deal with the aftermath has been incredibly frustrating. What makes this situation even more upsetting is that I work in the veterinary field and have personally helped care for her pets in the past. I provided them with care and professionalism, so I never expected to find myself dealing with a situation like this involving someone I had previously helped. About two weeks after the incident, I saw her and attempted to approach her to address what happened. Instead of having a conversation, she quickly left. As a Black man, it was especially concerning to feel as though my attempt to simply address the situation could be perceived or portrayed as me being aggressive. I wanted a conversation and accountability for the damage to my property nothing more. The matter has been reported, and I sincerely hope law enforcement handles it appropriately. I'm sharing my personal experience because accountability, honesty, and professionalism matter. Unfortunately, based on my experience, trusting this business owner was a big mistake in Long Beach.

I personally love the Sunrise Matcha with their Breakfast burrito!! Service is quick and everyone has been very friendly. They also have wine offerings and a food menu so it's my go-to for Brunch. Their food is always delicious and fast. They have a very spacious interior. Lots of different seatings for groups or single seats at the bar.

    Hmm, going over the other one star reviews, I can notice a common theme…read more Really weird experience here. First it's 7:30pm, planned on ordering a matcha and the person at the register informed me that there was "No coffee or tea after 4pm" so I choose to order a non alcoholic beverage and maybe something to eat and cashier or owner, whoever this person was tells me if I plan to work because it becomes a "laptop free zone" after 4pm. Odd behavior to tell someone what they can and can't do at an establishment considering it's called a coffee AND wine bar. Maybe this is something to advertise on your yelp and website but a "laptop free zone" after 4pm is pretty ridiculous for potential customers who were just looking to eat and work. I almost feel like he just told me that because I was going to order a salad and a non alcoholic beverage and wasn't planning on ordering much. As the other 1 star reviews mention "pretentious behavior" so it's either the cashier or whoever it was is being pretentious as others mentioned or RACIST... Kinda odd to dictate what I do on my own accord while I'm a patron at your establishment. If I ordered food and a drink but chose to open my laptop, are you going to ask me to leave? Doesn't really seem customer centric. Considering that I've worked on my laptop at dine-in restaurants, it's pretty odd behavior to display. Also, considering that this is not a club, and there's no live music, and there were only 3 people sitting in there, I think I would have been fine to sit there quietly in a corner with my laptop. 1 star for the experience and weird behavior. Like I said it's either pretentiousness or racism but weird behavior nonetheless.
