the interior of a cafe

Located at the Westin, it was convenient coffee. That's really about it. My iced latte with oat milk wasn't mind blowing in any way. Service was meh. It never leaves the best impression when I was making more of an effort to be personable than they were. My feedback to them would be to try harder, care more. Maybe have some coffee.

The coffee shop is located within the Westin hotel. So you know it's roomy and spacious. Good vibes all around. Parking can be tough if you're not residing in the hotel but overall, the staff was friendly and the matcha hit the spot. If you like creamy matcha, definitely recommend! Very frothy!

Avocado Toast

Bluestone Lane is a chain of Australian inspired coffee shops, with 55+ locations in the US. The founder is from Melbourne, and opened the first location in NYC in 2013. Their coffee is still roasted in Brooklyn. They utilize high quality ingredients, and are equipped with top tier Italian machinery, so you're guaranteed a great drink. This location is inside the Westin in downtown Long Beach. You do not need to be staying at the hotel to come here; it's downstairs in the lobby. There is a massive amount of seating, all drenched in sunlight. For downtown Long Beach, it's a nice ambience. It's an Australian place, so I felt obligated to get an Australian espresso classic: The Flat White. If you are unfamiliar, this is an espresso drink with half the amount of milk as a latte (and no foam), allowing for a stronger espresso flavor. I got it with oat milk, and it was exceptional. The barista was genuinely friendly, and knew how to make a perfect drink. Skip the Avocado Toast. It was ~$13 for a piece of barely toasted bread that tasted like cardboard. It was topped with a decent amount of avocado, plus micro greens and chili flakes, but come on: you can easily make this at home.

Quick, friendly service and delicious coffee and breakfast sandwich for around $20. It's inside the beautiful, sunny lobby of the Westin, not at all crowded at 8am. I had a 12oz flat white with almond milk and their Breakfast croissant (with fluffy eggs, cheddar cheese, arugula and a bit of vegemite mayo. I was curious as I have never tasted vegemite (but always heard horrible things about it). Let me tell you this was delicious! Very filling too. I ate half before I remembered to give this place a stellar review. Other breakfast options all sounded delicious and reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend, even for non-guests of the Westin (like me), they still made me feel super welcome!

Interesting location inside the Westin off Ocean. Rode my bike to check it out. Very open, airy and clean space being in the hotel's lobby. Huge windows over looking lush gardens and courtyard. They have what seemed to be a nice selection of drinks on the menu and some pastries in the glass case as well. I was surprised to see they serve breakfast and thought to try their bacon, egg and cheese croissant. Asked what flavored lattes they have and was disappointed. Maybe they are short on supplies today, because they said they only had vanilla and mocha. I opted for the vanilla and it wasn't as hot as it could be. A click above warm, but not hot. The sandwich was good, but very hard to eat as it just fell apart so easily, but I had a fork and knife so I made due cutting it half and eating the scrambled egg that fell out. I think it would have been better if the scrambled egg wasn't so crumbly. The croissant wasn't flaky, rather soft. Overall, the sandwich was kind of dense and mushy.

the ambience/outdoor courtyard seating was LOVELY. But it was better than the food and service LOL. Ordered the fried chicken sandwich, burger, and chili scramble. My sister enjoyed her burger, my dad enjoyed his sandwich, and I enjoyed the egg scramble on multigrain. I wouldn't say anything was outstandingly superb or unique. The chili scramble was too spicy for my dad (he is getting older and cannot handle a lot of spice anymore) but a fine level for me, although the chili oil/sauce tasted like instant ramen seasoning (it's a yummy taste but I'm not trying to taste instant ramen in a $16 dish). Our main server was sweet and attentive, but another server seemed very flustered and frustrated the whole time. Of course we gave her the benefit of the doubt but it made for simple requests like asking for a check uncomfortable.

WOW WOW WOW. Phenomenal breakfast. Excellent coffee. Very kind and patient staff. We walked over from Hotel Maya for breakfast, not realizing this place is inside the Westin. No issue, just didn't know. The atmosphere in the Westin is very welcoming. I was torn between a few options and the barista explained in more detail a couple of dishes. I got the peanut butter and berries toast. HOLY MOLY. Incredible. Peanut butter, fresh strawberries and raspberries, mint that absolutely makes the flavors POP, and drizzled with honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Also got a draught oat flat white that is delicious. Partner got the bacon croissant breakfast sandwich and it was also just out of this world good. We eat excellent food all over the place and everything we got here was top tier breakfast food!

I'm always intrigued by a new coffee place, especially if it's within walking distance from work. This place is tucked inside the Westin, a counter set against the west entrance of the hotel. They have a simple menu of foods (mainly topped toasts), and a bakery case with a variety of croissants (Nutella, Plain, Everything, one other savory flavor), Kouign Amann, vegan donuts, and chocolate chip cookies. Their bakery case is limited, so don't expect a replenishment. With this being in a hotel with foot traffic and out of towners there for conferences, expect sell outs of food. They were out of nutella croissants when I was there this morning. On the recommendation of the friendly staff, I got the prosciutto toast because I love prosciutto. With that small drizzle of honey, it didn't disappoint. It's a small but filling portion with balanced flavors. Great recommendation. The iced latte I got was also pretty smooth. If I was finally going to give vegemite toast or a Flat White a try I'd probably give it a go here, over Starbucks. THINGS OF NOTE: CASHLESS payments only! Luckily I had my phone with me so I could use apple pay. Prices are on the higher side, since lest you forget, you're purchasing food and drink in a hotel, but ultimately it's a nice change from my typical desk salad or jimmy johns sandwich. Thumbs up. 5 stars.

Iced latte with oat milk
Alice Y.

Solid five stars for vibez, fast & friendly service, and a delicious oat milk latte to start the day. Tucked away in the left side of the lobby at the beautiful Westin hotel in Long Beach, I'm glad we were able to stop by for some good coffee. The latte was $5 and an extra $1 charge for the oat milk substitute, which I thought was pretty steep. Other than that, loved all the natural lighting that filled the hotel lobby, the decor, and the yummy coffee!

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.

The lovely man working here, I do believe he might be the owner, pushed together three smaller tables together so my group of five would have somewhere to work.

The cafe has a very warm, cozy, old-fashion feel where you never want to leave. I can see why so many people come here just to sit and chat.

Plus they serve everything from bagels, croissants, sandwiches, desserts, etc. Place is spacious indoors. The staffers all were very nice and accommodating to the grandchildren. We ordered coffee and some sandwiches and very good! We truly appreciated the kindness of the staff and enjoyed the coffee/tea and food. We will definitely come here again on on our visit to Long Beach and recommend them to our family/friends. John, Thank you the reply! Please tell the staff who provided the banana to our grandson! She so sweet! We where there this morning 9:36am.

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.

I ordered a banana latte, first time having something like that, and it was to die for. The flavors meshed so well. Also had an order of a banana matcha and wow. No complaints. The bold matcha flavor combined so well with the banana if you haven't tried a banana matcha and want to try it get it here!

I read a few reviews how it's spacious, however I found it to be smaller than I thought. Because of busy it was for a Friday morning, seating was limited as most people were there studying/working or socializing. Staff were very nice and friendly and worked quickly despite the rush. I ordered an iced banana latte and it was good! I would say it was more a hint of banana. I also tried their chocolate croissant which was a good size for breakfast and was perfectly toasted. Most people come here for their matcha so I'd have to give that a try next time. While there is a parking lot, parking was a bit challenging as this coffee shop is in the same lot as a lot of other businesses.
