    Matcha Latte with a shot of Espresso

    Mobile coffee shop, serving some of the best espresso around, out of an electric rickshaw. Their menu offers high quality coffee/tea, and specialty drinks prepared with house made syrups. The owners care deeply about social justice, and safely serving the community during the pandemic. They are regularly parked on Broadway and Hermosa, outside of Black LB. However, days and hours may vary, as they also offer catering for special events. Follow them on IG for daily updates @cafablanca. I got a Matcha Latte with a shot of espresso, oat milk, and their own vanilla syrup, and thoroughly enjoyed every sip. Cafablanca is 100% donation based, so I just paid what my drink would cost at most other LA coffee shops. Juan was really lovely; chatting with him brightened my day. I am happy this place exists.

    Keep in mind they only have plant-based options, and while I'm not the biggest fan, the oat milk is really nice here.

    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. If it weren't for him, we would've left immediately to find somewhere else. I ordered a Mexican hot chocolate and a blueberry muffin that I asked to be warmed! 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.

I tried the Lychee Martini ($15) which consisted of lychee, pear, lime juice, non-alcoholic gin and infused with chaga, kava root, kratom, and lion's mane. I tasted mostly lychee, but it wasn't too sweet. Towards the bottom of the drink, I could taste more of the concentrated mushrooms and it gave me a tingly sensation on my lips for a bit. The kava and lion's mane were relaxing. From Thursday through Saturday, they're open till 12am and it's pretty poppin when there's a DJ playing chill tunes or good beats to dance to on their small dance floor. The staff are very knowledgeable about their products and happy to explain any and all of it with recommendations. Their small bites menu is limited to nuts, olives, guac, chips and mushroom jerky, but they might have a pop-up outside. There was a really good pizza vendor when I was there last Saturday. Considering that we're at the lowest drinking rate among adults in 90 years, we may start seeing more spots like Culture Shrooms in the near future!
