    Ambiance: it's a corner coffee spot located in a shared plaza with other merchants, takeout place only, few tables outside but no seating inside Service: attentive and friendly staff Drink: standard coffee menu ORIGINAL VIETNAMESE COFFEE - ** the large cup is not fulfilled as large portion, and it tasted so bland and not like Vietnamese coffee Price: middling drink, and over priced for its quality, not worth around $7 per drink

    Uji Matcha Latte Einspanner

    I really wanted to have some good matcha einspänner so decided to try out the ones by Blk Dot Coffee. This cafe location is inside of a shopping center with tight parking spaces and availability. I attribute that partially due to the Trader Joe's being so close to it, and the day of the week being Saturday morning. The order was placed online for an in-store pickup. I arrived about 10 minutes prior to the promised ready time and my order was actually ready. The drink itself did not have a very strong matcha flavor I was looking for. It still had a nice mouthfeel to it. I appreciated the cocoa powder dusting on top and the amount of ice being perfect. Many times, these cafes tend to put a huge amount of ice and so little drink to actually sip on. Not here! I also liked witnessing the barista placing my drink in the fridge instead of leaving out on the countertop for me to until I arrived to get it. Many cafes tend to just leave it on the pick-up counter space for someone to accidentally take it or the ice melting half way and getting gross. Something to keep in mind -- there is really no space to sit down and enjoy your drink, socialize, or study. It was quite busy inside the store and the line was long and disorganized. The drinks will become available fairly quickly, but expect the wait time to be a bit on the longer side during the weekend mornings.

    Fiesta Bowl!

    I can't over how clean the Cypress location is! And the black couch chairs are perfect for reading. But the hit of today is the Fiesta Bowl! Talk about bag for your buck! This bowl is packed with a variety of feisty ingredients that all come together perfectly. After this and VTM, i am pumped for the day!

    6/16/25 Hot oat milk latte to go! This spot used to be CBTL a while back, glad it's replaced by another coffee shop that serves up great Java. It's cute, small with just a couple of outdoor seating. Service is friendly & accommodating. My latte was made & I requested for my own container to be filled with hot water first to warm it up so my beverage will keep hot longer. That was very cool for the staff to accommodate. The latte tasted great, rich, deep, dark, the way I like it. Highly recommend

    Good spot for a quick breakfast bite and good coffee.

    Breakfast food is good. Very tasty potatoes! The coffee was good, hot and strong! Service was very quick. Restaurant is cute and clean. Definitely recommend for a coffee and breakfast spot.

    I have had plain coffee from this place and it was pretty good but today I wanted to try something different. My friend ordered the matcha latte and I had the oat milk brown sugar cold drink. My friend enjoyed her matcha however mine tasted like a plain iced coffee so I asked for some more of the syrup and then it became too sweet. I had to drink slowly so it wasn't too much for me. I will post again once I try other items.

    $7 for a couple sips of a large Iced VTM coffee that was mostly ice. Wasn't even filled close to the top with coffee. I took a few sips, and less than a mile down the street it was all gone. Not worth it imo.

    Pretty good Vietnamese coffee! Definitely taste the bitterness of the caffeine which isn't overwhelming, and there's a hint of sweetness from the condensed milk. Definitely worth a try, especially from a chain coffee shop.

    Service was amazing. I was welcomed right away by not one but two of the workers. The cashier was friendly and helpful. I got the Tiramisu Latte Einspanner. Plenty of parking and love that there was a Trader Joe's nearby. Any excuse to go into Trader Joe's... lol. Inside was clean. I got my drink in no time. When I went, I was able to order right away... but then a bunch of people started coming in afterwards; it got really busy. My experience was amazing! I liked my drink and the service was awesome. : )

    Yuzu Mango Matcha Latte and  Iced LVTM Coffee
    Lorena S.

    So I have been on a coffee tour in Long Beach and definitely had this spot on the radar. Blk Dot is really small inside. It did get a little crowded when there was a good group waiting for their coffee. They do have a few tables outside, but it was a little chilly and so most of us were waiting inside. I love matcha and jumped at the chance to try their mango Matcha. It was amazing. I don't ordinarily order mango because it can be a little overpowering, but this was perfect. It was a beautiful blend of both Matcha and mango. My boyfriend tried the light Vietnamese coffee, which was also very tasty. Vietnamese coffee can be pretty strong and I'm so glad he got the light version. We did have their breakfast sausage bowl and their breakfast sandwhich. The bowl is huge. We could have shared that and still been equally full. I did take off a star because I have been to a lot of coffee places and i have had some really nice experiences with staff especially when I had questions and I just wasn't getting that vibe from the team here.

    I wasn't expecting to pay $10 for a cup of ice today. I couldn't even move my straw the ice was so dense. I see other people are having the same issue too. I don't think I will be back for a while. It's a shame bc I like the location.

    This was my second time here but today I wanted to try something other than just a plain cup of coffee. I had a latte while my friend had a cold brew. This place is very small so if you plan to just sit and sip on your coffee it wont happen, unless you take one of the few tables outside. They do have some more seating area around this complex which is what we did. Oh and they also offer a limited variety of breakfast items.

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!

They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it.

I rarely order pizza at a place like this, but sitting inside, with the pizza oven in view, I just went with it. Overall, fabulous! I had pear (instead of figs) and prosciutto.

    I never expected to find stellar cocktails and wings inside of a hotel, but you truly never know…read more Let's start with the cocktails; they are KILLING it. The menu has a ton of really detailed options, each drink with its own depth. The menu changes seasonally but what doesn't change is the smoked old fashioned - a must-order. They smoke your drink in a glass container using applewood chips; it's quite a show and it also does make the drink much more enjoyable. Ask the bartender and they can also help guide you to a drink - I've done it a couple of times and always pleasantly surprised. Next up, the food! The hummus was very flavorful and paired with an amazing fluffy pita bread. The truffle fries were solid but the plate was HUGE, definitely needs a friend to share. The Nashville wings are the star of the show. I cannot stress this enough, this is worth a DRIVE for. The seasoning really does remind you of Howlin' Rays (the highest compliment) and the chicken is extremely crispy yet insanely juicy. The pickles and ranch that it comes with pairs so well. Do note that they are tossing it in pork fat, which enhances the depth but also makes it a little greasy at the end. I also wished they'd warn you this and offer to order it without it; especially for those who don't eat pork or for those trying to cut some calories. There's a happy hour menu too!!! So you can get drinks and food even cheaper. I cannot stop thinking about this place. It's such a sleeper. Head to Midnight Oil after a visit to continue your night.

I found the prices to be reasonable, especially given the quality of the food and drinks and the central location inside The Westin Over two visits, I tried the hummus, barbacoa tacos, proof burger, and a jalapeño margarita, and everything hit the spot-fresh, and well-seasoned. One thing I would call out is to double-check that your drink is made with the alcohol you requested. I asked for a specific brand in my jalapeño margarita, and the bartender used the one I had specifically said I didn't want (Casa Amigos). I watched him make it and had to ask our server to confirm what was in the drink. To their credit, they remade it with no issues, but it's worth paying attention if you're particular about your spirits. The staff was friendly and welcoming each time I stopped in, and while service ran a bit on the slower side at moments, they stayed attentive enough that it never felt like a real issue.
