The café has outside and inside seating. I prefer to sit outside since there were a lot of students working on their laptops and I didn't want to cause any distraction since we were there to mingle and chat. Being outside was nice, but you also still have other people seated outside, or in passing. The barista/cashier was friendly, especially when I let him know that it was my first time. He asked me what my likes were and said he can make that for me. I went with a hot honey cinnamon vanilla latte and it was good. It may have needed more to it because it was not flavorful and sweet enough. I couldn't taste the honey or cinnamon. It tastes more like a vanilla latte. But I think this is an easy fix next time I order. They also have a restroom for customers which I visited, and it was clean. There is plenty of parking and this is definitely a college crowd, but welcome to everyone.

The staff is cordial, respectful, and genuinely helpful. If you ask for recommendations, they won't hesitate to point you in the right direction. I also appreciate that their oat milk lattes don't contain sunflower seed oil, which is a big no-no for me. On top of that, they make their syrups in-house, which makes the experience feel even more special.

Chill staff too! I chatted with a barista to find the right cup to get, then enjoyed a brew from Newbery St. (beans from Thailand!). It came out super delicious, and I enjoyed my purchase in air conditioned bliss. Pourover coffee not your thing? There's batch brew, and you can always get a cappuccino. Or matcha. Or a Thai tea. Pastries if you're hungry. Memento was an unexpected *MEMENTO*. I found out they're part of this year's "The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops" list, and this tracks. My only complaint? Wish the music wasn't as loud. Outlets if you need them. Play Pokemon Go? Memento is near a Pokemon gym.

There are also little touches of charm throughout the space from the decor to the merchandise on display. The space itself is on the small side therefore seating can be limited during busier times. Ordered the following: - Hojicha Einspanner - Matcha Einspänner - Matcha Latte The Einspanners were really enjoyable - the cream on top added a smooth, slightly sweet layer that balanced well with the roasted hojicha and earthy matcha. The Matcha Latte itself was well made - not too sweet. Overall, a good spot to try matcha and hojicha as well as their other drinks! Which I would like to come back and try!

After browsing a couple pics on Yelp, I decided to try their chai latte. (Since moving to Long Beach from San Diego two years ago, I've been DYING for a creamy cup of chai. Everywhere I'd tried so far was just a spicy cup of hot tea -- not creamy or very sweet at all. I had honestly given up looking but something about Wolf's made me try theirs.) I'm SO glad I did! I've FINALLY found my perfect cup of creamy chai latte in Long Beach! I don't live super close, but you bet I'll be making the 10-15 minute drive to get my chai latte fix every so often. Thank you Wolf's Brew!! Oh, and the shop itself was cute and clean, and the service was courteous and prompt. There are a few tables outside to sit and enjoy your drink.

While there is no indoor seating, they do offer plenty of outdoor seating, which makes for a nice place to sit and enjoy your drink. Their menu is simple and easy to navigate without feeling overwhelming. I ordered an iced chai latte and an iced Americano, both of which were enjoyable. They also offer food options if you're looking for a quick bite alongside your drink. Overall, it's a comfortable and convenient café with a laid-back atmosphere, especially if you enjoy outdoor seating.

I have frequented here often, and watch how he will say hi to every guest except the black ones? I've tried to not let one bad apple ruin the bunch, however today was the last straw. I often get anxiety attacks, I step for air and prop the door open so I could return to my stuff. He watched me open the door step out and take a deep breath... what did he do instantly slam the door shut! When I explained my stuff is right there wait, he brushed me off with his hand and said "you use the other door". Very rude. So I took my stuff and walked down the street to Steelhead Coffee, where it is WAYYY cleaner and the vibe is so much welcoming.

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.

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!

Maybe I should have ordered something else not sure.

I had a bunch of questions about the different kinds of matcha because I'm a newly matcha girlie and still learning the flavors. I told them I wanted something sweet, and they gave great recommendations and let me know the one I chose was really good quality. When I got it, it was a little strong for me, so we added more oat milk and a splash of vanilla, and that made it perfect. The aesthetic of the café was beautiful; minimalist, bougie, and it literally felt like a high end neighborhood café. The menu was teeny tiny, so it took us a minute to decide. My friend got an iced Spanish latte, and she said it was probably the best one she's ever had, this was also recommended by the cashier. We sat inside, drank our drinks, and did a little people watching out the window. Parking was a little sketch, but overall I definitely recommend and can't wait to go back.

When I walked in, there was a long line, so my friends and I naturally moved toward the back to wait. For some reason, the staff decided to make us the star of the show. Even after we clearly answered that we were not in line, multiple employees kept stopping service to ask my friends the exact same question over and over. It felt like I was being singled out for no reason, and the repeated attention was embarrassing and unnecessary. This is a coffee shop. We're not trying to budge the line just because we're brown people. I've never been to a coffee shop where employees were so focused on making a customer feel uncomfortable instead of simply serving people. It completely devastated my peace and made what should have been a quick coffee stop feel awkward and hostile. Customer service isn't just about making drinks--it's about making people feel welcome. Unfortunately, this experience did the exact opposite. I won't be returning, and I certainly can't recommend this location to anyone looking for a relaxed atmosphere.
