    Iced 007 with Oat Milk and Agave
    Kyle H.

    This past Saturday was my first time at Black Dog Coffee Roasters. This Location is on 3rd and Cerritos in the North Alamitos Beach Neighborhood of Long Beach. Charming coffee shop with a brick facade. The interior decor is rustic, warm and cozy with low lighting and great laid back tunes playing in the background through some classic Bose 301 Speakers. They offer free wifi making it a good space to do some work. They have indoor and outdoor sidewalk seating under market umbrellas. There is even enough space inside if you wanted to bring your bicycle in or a scooter. There is street parking in front of the shop and around the area. Their beans are sourced from a farm in El Salvador and roasted on location. You can of course purchase their beans pre packaged. They have a really nice menu that includes hot or iced coffees made using different techniques of choice, as well as some great house specialties. They also have a Chai and Matcha selection. They offer a variety of sweeteners including a sugar free one, Different types of milks including dairy free And they even have a breakfast menu which i will pick from next time. I had one of their specialty drinks. The 007 with Oat Milk and agave over ice. It is basically a shaken espresso with oat milk and agave. It was light and smooth with the perfect amount of sweetener and it was very refreshing. The baristas are super friendly and accommodating. Prices are average and if i remember correctly. Their marked prices also include tax. I had a great first time experience. So, I will definitely be back. I may also check out their Signal Hill Location. I highly recommend Black Dog Coffee Roasters.

    Iced coffee with oat milk
    Koryn G.

    Walked here from my hotel while visiting Long Beach & loved it! Staff was friendly & got my iced coffee out promptly. Appreciated that they had alternative milk for my lactose intolerant self. It was nice they did have outlets as well so if you need to charge your phone, laptop,etc it's available. The tile on the floor gave some character to the cafe & enjoyed seeing the world map on the wall as someone that loves to travel. Definitely would go back when I'm in Long Beach again!

    Everything about this place is 5 stars; the coffee, the staff, the vibes, the aesthetic. Love coming here to read while enjoying a nice latte. Big plus is that they don't charge extra for alternative milks! Nobody else does that!

    Sweet Little Hulk
    Jacqueline M.

    I went today and got the sweet little hulk. It's now made with strawberry syrup and not rose. But still tastes delicious. Cute spot, but service was slow. Only one person working the register and making the coffee. It's street parking only, with a 15 min parking spot out front. 8/10, I like the aesthetic.

    Ice Americano with oat milk & a hint of vanilla.

    The customer service was outstanding I was warmly greeted as soon as I walked in. The pastries smelled wonderful, and the prices were very affordable. The coffee was strong and tasty, just the way I like it. I also appreciated that it's dog-friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable. I would definitely come back again!

    Locally owned and serving delicious coffee! First one here and the Spanish latte (hot) was a hit. Keep it up!

    007
    Lorena S.

    The Long Beach parking gods were on my side the day I went to visit dog. I was able to find a parking on the next block so I had a really good feeling about this visit. My instincts were right. Black dog is located right on the corner with some very cool outside tables walked in and everyone was very welcoming saying hello. I do wish that they had had a menu I could look at instead of in front of the register because the people in front of me were blocking it so I wasn't able to look at their drink options until I got to the register. I ordered the 007 after a recommendation from the barista and so glad I did. It was a combination of a little bit of sweet but really great coffee. I took my time sipping it because I really did not want the experience to end. The place is really cozy. They have some pub tables and one smaller table inside. I was able to sit and read my book while enjoying my coffee taking in the surroundings.

    Mexican Mocha
    Tristen S.

    Cute, neighborhood coffee shop. Their drinks have just been okay for me. I definitely don't recommend the matcha as it was quite watered down. Their flat white was pretty standard, nothing special. I did really like the Mexican mocha. I added an extra espresso shot in the really sink in the coffee flavor. The baristas are super nice & friendly. Service is pretty quick too! There's lots of street parking around. Overall, not a bad spot, but not my favorite either.

    This place was 5/5 let me just start off with the that!!! I loved the whole look of this coffee shop from the outside to the inside! Walked in and was greeted right away! They were very friendly and welcoming! Was looking at the menu and they offered help as well as recommendations!!! I got the 007 and an iced americano. The taste of the coffee itself is great! The 007 was also a great recommendation since it had a nice flavor to it but for me it was just a little sweet! The 007 seems to be a popular drink since while I was sitting there about everyone who came in ordered it! They have seating inside as well as outside! I just loved the vibe the service and the coffee everything for me was 5/5! I'm sad that I don't live near here because this would definitely be my go to spot!

    Strawberry Hulk, Spanish Latte

    Came in on a weekday and unfortunately the car showcase was closed which is fine. We ended up trying a strawberry hulk and spanish latte however both of these drinks were disappointing. They were served lukewarm and both drinks tasted watered down. Service was great our barista was very friendly but the drinks were so disappointing. :(

    Cute neighborhood coffee shop!! I was lucky to get a spot rt upfront on my way to visit my mom. Tried their Mexican mocha and it was really good also tried their chocolate scone which was amazing I usually do fruit scones but tried the chocolate and so glad I did so yummy. Service was super friendly and welcoming. I need to bring my husband in to try their peanut butter mocha

    Flat white & PB Latte

    This place is cozy and the workers were kind. My flat white was amazing! Great balance of strong espresso flavor and silky milk.

    I've been to the Signal Hill location many times so I was excited when they finally opened this location. The interior is spacious and well decorated with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Service was friendly. I usually order the Sweet Little Hulk but they replaced the rose syrup with strawberry. It wasn't as sweet and a tad underwhelming this time so not sure if it was bc of the syrup swap. Hopefully it's not a permanent change to the drink. Only downside to this location is that it's street parking only.

    My girlfriend and I were looking for a caffeine boost to get us through Sunday when we stumbled…read moreupon Recreational Coffee in Downtown Long Beach. A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers. Check them out!

Ordered and it didn't take long at all to get it. Did they even add espresso? Who knows because the latte was weak. It barely had any hint of coffee. I asked if the latte was sweet and they said it wasn't. After the first sip I could just taste all sweetness no espresso. Recreational coffee do you guys add espresso to the lattes? Maybe I should have ordered something else not sure.

We ordered coffee and some sandwiches and very good! We truly appreciated the kindness of the staff and enjoyed the coffee/tea and food.

Let's start with service: the woman at the front was very dry, quiet, and uninterested. We tried asking her if we could add cold foam or sweet cream to our drinks to make them sweeter, and she said it was only available on seasonal drinks. As an avid matcha latte consumer, this made zero sense to me. While I don't blame her bc she likely had nothing to do with that decision, she wasn't kind in relaying that information or trying to help me find something on the menu I may like. Her demeanor remained the same when my friend ordered his drink, and we both felt a very negative energy coming from this woman, simply put it didn't seem like she wanted to be there taking our order. This was around 1pm last Saturday (the 21st of March), so they had a decent amount of customers, but it wasn't some crazy morning rush. Forward to the drink : we grabbed our drinks which came out promptly. I tasted my matcha and just as I suspected due to the lack of sweetness, it just tasted like grassy chalk. I assumed that my friends latte would be better, as matcha can tend to have an earthy taste to it to begin with. Then I tried his... chalky and sour. Due to the lack of customization and the barista's attitude, we just took a couple sips and tossed our drinks. It was a super negative experience for a place I really really wanted to like. I think allowing people to use sweetener and cold foam on more than just seasonal lattes would be a great first start, and perhaps training the staff on appropriate customer interaction would also help. Loved the branding on this spot, but it seems like the people who work there don't want to be there and it really put a damper on the experience, and for a place so cute, the drinks and vibes should be top notch.
