Stopped here after going to the Trader Joe's next door. The Coffee Bean that was immediately next door closed awhile ago so it's nice to have a place to grab some coffee. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized it's primarily a Vietnamese coffee shop! I really think Vietnamese coffee is the best out there. They make a Vietnamese coffee that's traditional and hard to find outside of little Saigon that's authentic. My husband doesn't think so but he's not Vietnamese so I don't think his opinion counts as much, haha. We had the VTM coffee which I really liked, and the avocado toast and breakfast banh mi. I felt like the avocado toast was a little lacking in avocado (kind of just a light spread), but the breakfast banh mi was a good take on a traditional banh mi. Would definitely come back! read more

I knew i wasn't making it up!!!! I went back to blk dot today hoping i could get the coffee i love made the correct way and not have subpar service! I ordered what i ALWAYS order spicy honey oat latte with only spicy and with almond milk.; i also ordered the avocado toast and the total for them both is $19 so the last thing you want is a bad drink. Their avocado toast is huge and vegan friendly and never disappoints. The guy that took my order was very polite and he also made my coffee and when he gave it to me he said please let me know if i can make any adjustments i was blown away!!!!! Last time i was here my coffee as terrible and the girl argued with me about it. Anyway my coffee was perfect no adjustments were needed and i just hope other baristas here get the training they need.! I love it here so convenient after a workout. read more

So I ordered a large iced coffee with light ice. Staff informed me that management does not allow them to do light ice. After I poured it into a small cup, this is all that's left. If management is this skimpy on allowing less ice, where else are they cutting corners to save pennies? Never coming here again. read more

Blk Dot Coffee - So I ordered a large iced coffee with light ice. This is all I get - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

Great service and delicious coffee! They always make my coffee just like I order it! The quality of ingredients is very high.

Review is for the Viet ice coffee. Good level of sweetness and good robust taste and strength. A few reviewers mentioned finally a good viet coffee joint outside of little Saigon to go to. I also agree and love that it's local. There is still a hazel nut after taste but the robust of the coffee and sweetness of condense milk make it still enjoyable. Someone mentioned phin on a review and I think it's better than phin. Good dark color and robust smell and taste I appreciate the cup it's served in with the pin back sip lid. If ur a fan of cafe sua da , Viet ice coffee, then you should give place a visit. read more

I'm so glad BLKdot opened up right in the middle of a horrible work deadline! With a little adjustment to my route in the mornings, I was able to stop and pick up BLKdot multiple times and let me tell ya - the coffee hits your hard! When I'm craving something on the slightly sweeter side, their classic VTM hits the spot. I got a large once and was completely wired for the entire day (probably not a good idea) and a regular size gets the job done really well. Most of the time thought, I just want a simple iced sea salt coffee. Black coffee topped with their sea salt cream (reminds me of the sea cream black at 7Leaves), a little hint of salt, a little creaminess, and a whole lot of coffee to sustain me through the day. Great addition to this area and my new pit stop in the mornings! :) read more

Love this place for my Vietnamese coffee with matcha. It is one of the places that makes this drink the best. Barista usually very nice and friendly. They have a nice little outdoor area if you want to come chill with friends. I like to place my order online so it will be ready when I come in. read more

The staff were so sweet and recommended me a popular drink since it was my first thanks!!!!

Coffee was delicious, first timer! I got the Vietnamese tiger. Soooo delicious. Also tried the Sammie, perfect grilled cheese. It was phenomenal. The coffee shop is great, cute little place. Music was a vibe. Customer service, bad. The cashier, smaller middle eastern looking chick had a rbf. She didn't even greet us at that. She didn't even bother to wait for me to finish paying on card terminal or see if I requested a receipt. I asked for a straw & her body language/facial expression was as if I was asking for a free drink. Didn't like her vibe, attitude & customer service. The barista & food prep guy weren't friendly either but didn't give me attitude. To sum it up, good food & drinks, bad customer service. I don't think I'll be back to this location. read more

I can always count on this place for the matcha coffee! Sweet and just deliciously addicting! 100% would recommend! You dont taste the earthy flavors of the matcha. Lol the staff are always nice! No bathrooms at this location tho but you can always use bathroom at Trader joes which is probably a 2 min walk. Also got their avocado toast, one of my go tos when I'm in a hurry! Never a miss. read more

I'm surprised this establishment doesn't have better reviews. I tried their VTM with Matcha and it was the best tasting dirty matcha I've had. I was worried it was going to be strong or bitter but it was so sweet which I loved. I also got thru hot honey avocado toast and it was amazing. The bread was so soft and generous amount of avocado. Cant say much about the customer service bc I was just in and out. read more

Updated review. I've been denied service because there are "no dogs allowed" inside the establishment. Today I came in and what do I see a dog inside of the establishment. Pick and choose when they want to enforce their policy. I guess it only applies to some customers. read more

You can taste the difference in flavor and quality after you take the first sip of a iced Vietnamese coffee from Blk Dot Coffee. Very chill but prompt service. One of the best Vietnamese coffees we've had anywhere...totally a must try & will definitely come back! Only giving 4 and not 4.5 bc there is one or two areas that could be improved: I wish they would take cash & switch out the plastic white straws they use for a better quality brand straw bc in the past I've had the straw tip break into sharp edges as I'm sipping on it. If they can, pls bring back the Black straws bc they seem to be more durable. read more

Stopped for coffee here after lunch. This is a delightful little coffee shop has the most delicious Vietnamese coffee. I had the caramel macchiato, and my friend had a decaf latte. It is a nice spot just outside the Trader Joe's. The little patio outside has been a favorite spot for years! Check it out read more

I came in the morning around 10:30. It was a bit crowded ,but that's to be expected since it's morning time. I got the avocado toast and added bacon, this was really good. I wish I had l just a little more flavor but overall pretty tasty. I also got a chai latte and this was also very good! The only downside would be the price, both of these items came up to $23 , which to me, is a bit pricey for toast and coffee. Overall, I recommend if you don't mind spending a little extra money.:) read more

I will start off by saying that the Dulce vtm coffee is one of the best coffees I've ever had. It was divine. But there was so much ice I couldn't enjoy my drink. I paid almost ten dollars for the drink and I barely got anything. I'm a slow drinker. It takes me a while to finish a beverage. The fact that I finished this drink in five minutes shows how much ice was in there. There was barely any coffee or milk. It was filled to the brim with ice. I know a lot of coffee shops do this, but for the price I expected a bit more. read more

Please have your baristas both learn about coffee and how to not patronize customers. Especially when the customer points out that something they ordered was not made correctly. Completely obnoxious. Coffee was just okay. read more

Baristas are always pleasant, attentive, and acknowledgeable. Every time I order, my drink is amazing. Breakfast sandwich was good, but over priced. read more

This place was just okay. They have a clean aesthetic and good customer service. I ordered a bacon egg breakfast sandwich. It looked nothing like the other photos on Yelp not to mention it was over cooked. Bagel was hard from being over toasted, and eggs also overcooked. I ordered a sea salt foam cold brew and a caramel macchiato that didn't impress me much. read more

I love this place so much. I come here often and I work in the plaza so it's a plus. the only complaint would be out times. Not sure if it's short staffed issue, under paid / over worked staff or lack of urgency but it took 20mins to get a cream cheese bagel out today. read more

100000x better than Starbucks at near the same price point. Since working from home, if I'm going to go grab some coffee, I come here. It's like a 7 minute drive and super easy pick up when you order online. read more

One of the thing that threw me off about this place was service. The cashier wasn't really friendly or welcoming. She just looked like she didn't want to be there. This location is pretty small and there's no tables inside in case you want to study/or do work. Luckily I came early in the morning so there was parking but usually this lot can get hectic considering it's right next to Trader Joe's read more

I came here after a friend told me coffee is good I got the matcha Vietnamese. The code was good but service is ok. I came back today to try to get another one and it was 3 minutes before they will open and they refused to sell me a coffee. This is bad customer service read more

I love the coffee here. Whenever I'm near it's a must for me to get some. The service is always spot on and great vibes.

The coffee. The food, the customer service literally 10/10! This place is awesome! If you are thinking of going, do so! The breakfast scramble SO GOOD! read more

I've been here 4 times and cannot wait to come back. I love their VTMatcha (viet iced coffee with matcha on top), Passion fruit green tea, and Peach lychee iced tea. Their clear crystal boba is better than regular boba. They are able to adjust levels to sweetness. My friend recommends their Hot White Chocolate. Parking is easy. Service is friendly. I wished they opened later in the day as well. read more

Tasty. However I will most likely be bouncing off the walls in a couple hours cause I underestimated the caffeine amount. So if you need a pick me up that will stay up for the rest of your work day, this is the place for you. read more

Meh. You want real vietnamese coffee? Just go to your typical Mr. Lees sandwiches, and feel the wrath (in a good way). The Vietnamese coffee here seems a bit too sweet. Not too my liking. I don't know if it's the layout of the store, but the line seems to be a bit disorganized. I've been here several times, and people seem to not know where the line begins. read more

This is probably my least favorite location for Blk. I just find the staff here to be very unwelcoming and unhelpful. They rush you through your order and has a more of a "what do you want" attitude. The shop is also really small with no seating. There is communal seating outside but if its cold out you are shit out of luck. I do think their drinks are pretty good though but just pricey. I paid $6.50 for a regular (which is basically a small) espresso drink. Oh and they do not take cash. read more

Don't let the modern decor fool you. This local OC chain is serving up some authentic Vietnamese Coffee aka VTM. ITEM'S ORDERED: VTM (Original Vietnamese Coffee) VTMatcha (Vietnamese Coffee + Matcha) TASTE: The VTM here is well made & what I expect from a good Vietnamese coffee. Strong dark roast coffee flavor balanced out (not overtaken) by the sweetness of condensed milk. Coffee strength is quite present so I could see this maybe being too strong for some people. I do see they also offer a lighter version as well. Towards the middle/end it did get somewhat too sweet & creamy for me, but I am a big strong coffee fan. VTMatcha is exactly what the name implies. For the matcha fans, the ratio of matcha to coffee is on the matcha side. & On the plus side the earthy matcha flavor is not lost. So it comes together with the Viet coffee to make a tasty drink. SERVICE, LOCATION, & PARKING: Service was very good right when we walked in. Cashier was friendly & the girl who gave the drinks to me was kind as well. Just FYI, they don't accept cash. It's a pretty small interior with no inside seating. Pretty sure it's not just a covid thing since I don't see where they'd even put inside tables/seats. Looks like there were 3 tables outside. Interior is a simple, clean look which is still inviting. I like how the ceilings are high to make the small place seem larger. This BLKdot is located Marketplace Long Beach (corner of PCH & 2nd Street) with several other businesses (Trader Joe's, Veggie Grill, etc). There's ample amount of parking & I found a spot right in front on an early Saturday afternoon. FINAL THOUGHTS: Little bit pricey here since you are buying from a newer/modern coffee shop in a nicer area. The VTM was basically $6 while the VTMatcha was basically $7. BLKdot VTM reminds me of the house coffee at 7 Leaves, but stronger. Which makes sense since the VTM does not have the sea foam to subdue/counter balance the coffee strength. It they used crushed ice I'd be even happier. Just makes it that much better to me. They use bamboo straws which hold up much better than paper & are more eco friendly than plastic. I like this. Could you find a similar (maybe better?) Vietnamese coffee at a more "mom & pop" location for lower cost? Yes Could you serve the VTM to your Vietnam born auntie & they'd give it the stamp of approval? Yes Would your Vietnam born auntie approve of this price? No Would I come here again? Yes read more

I've been a fan of BLKdot Coffee since I've tried them in Irvine! They have really delicious Vietnamese coffee and avocado toasts. I'm so glad they opened one up in Long Beach. This location is in the plaza by the Marina, next to Trader Joes. Parking is ample as it's a huge plaza with many stores. The shop itself is small, no room for indoor seating, but there are a few tables outside. I usually get the VTM Tiger (has delicious qq brown sugar jelly), Green Tiger, or VT Matcha. Always strong and tasty. The toasts and sammies are pretty good too! I recommend the spicy avocado egg toast or the cali chicken sammie. Service is friendly and energetic! Love this spot, and I'll definitely be coming here regularly! read more

I usually come to blk dot once or twice a week if I'm lucky. I enjoy there food and drinks. My current obsession would be their iced matcha Vietnamese coffee. The two stars has to do with the service received today. There was probably five employees today, not one person had a smile on today which I found very unwelcoming and weird since I've been here a few times. I ordered two iced coffee one with ice on the side, avocado toast, apple juice, hot chocolate and chocolate croissant. Five minutes later they tell me they're out of apple juice which I was ok with since they had lemonade, I received my drinks both with ice, and toast about 10minutes later. I waited a few more minutes and still have not received the chocolate croissant having to remind them only to be told they were out of the chocolate croissant as well. I had my one year old daughter in my arms. It would have been nice if employees were aware of my large order and offered a drink tray and bag. They seen me waiting not one person asked or checked if everything was received. Items were out of stock which should have been told when the order was given not when the customer ask where there item is. Don't get me wrong I enjoy BlkDot but todays service was definitely horrible and should be addressed. read more

Food and drinks at @blkdotcoffee. They were welcoming and friendly! They made an extra Vietnamese iced coffee and ask if I wanted it, woohoo! I ordered an Iced Chai Latte and a Brekkie bowl! The staff were so kind and welcoming. Having great service is huge in my book. I used to go to the Irvine spectrum location but glad they opened one up in Long Beach! It's in the same plaza as Trader Joe's which I love. I usually get their Vietnamese iced coffee which is SO GOOD but decided to try something different and go for the iced Chai latte, also very good! read more
