Lately, I have been more intentional with my coffee intake and have stepped away from the commercial, sugary crap that you find on every corner. La Blanca Dura is my absolute favorite. It's so hard to find a beautifully crafted light roast beverage. I like it just the way it's stated on the menu. The subtle notes of Yemen spices deliver warm and bright notes with a light and nutty undertone. It's perfectly balanced. If you're caffeine sensitive opt out for the small size. Service is friendly and efficient. Thank you Vanessa for the recommendation! read more

Carmen's Coffee Company - La Blanca Dura - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

I drove by this pop-up coffee truck half a dozen times over the past few months and knew I had to try it. Carmen's Coffee Company is a Long Beach food truck serving up caffeinated beverages and pastries. Each Saturday they pop up at the local Naples carwash and offer takeout for the locals. I ordered the iced lemon meringue latte. A dessert style latte, topped with lemon cold foam. The drink was yummy, but tasted more like syrup than espresso. When I got home I added an extra espresso shot and it did the trick. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu! I might just avoid the more dessert like drinks. read more

I've driven by and finally took the time to stop and it was worth it! Cutest coffee truck!! I ordered the strawberry latte (my new fav!) bc the sign was so appealing and grabbed a jalapeño/cheese croissant as well. Both were so delicious and fresh. Service and ambiance were amazing too! Can't wait to come back :D read more

We saw this cute little gem on our morning walk and it's definitely the spot to stop by! I got a chilled caramel latte and the girl recommend that I try it with orange and cinnamon.. I was very skeptical to say the least but I said why not.. I'm not sure how these flavors combined but it was so DELICIOUS! The staff was super friendly as well! I'll definitely be back! If you haven't stopped by, you should! read more

Stayed around the corner and walked here EVERY morning for coffee. Lattes were great and the ladies working were super nice. Had the blueberry and cinnamon crumb muffin and both were good. My brother in law had a panini and it was really good. read more

I had to try the nitro cold brew since no one around here sells it.. and WOW! It's super creamy and not acidic! There was also a little added treat ;) the staff was super helpful and answered my questions regarding the coffee beans (i need to be careful due to a health issue). Service was super fast and she was kind! The ambiance was cute and chill! I highly recommend checking out Carmen's... I've had a speciality latte a while ago and they never seem to disappoint! read more

Vey helpful and suggestive too. I tried the food here before and it's quite impressive. Adore this neighborhood place a lot. read more

We have seen this food truck every time we pass by the detailing shop that is right behind it and we decided to go here and have some food. I wanted the food to be so good and we ordered a ham sandwich and a vegetarian option. The cheese in both of them as very dense and the sandwich didn't taste much. The service was quick and they have a couple of tables next to the truck where we sat. Cool atmosphere on second street but the food was definitely not the best. Not sure if I will come back. Maybe for the coffee.... read more

Coffee truck located in Long Beach with a unique menu! This place caught my eye cause of the unique flavors that you won't find in most coffee places. I tried their Spanish Mocha, House latte and a custom banana mocha frappe and they were all average. The coffee is watery and is missing that deep aromatic flavor. The Spanish Mocha is not your typical Spanish latte and was strangely spicy. I couldn't drink more than a sip. Also, I couldn't detect the mocha flavor in this drink. For the banana mocha frappe and house latte, there wasn't much flavor. Service was good and they were quick to make the drinks. There isn't a parking lot designated for this coffee shop as far as I know however you can park on the street. read more

Nice people not serving corporate coffee. Ambiance is Naples traffic and car detailers, but sometimes a couple of mint green tables and chairs on a sidewalk is just as good as sitting in a mini mall big box coffeehouse listening to Alabama Shakes. Warning: No roof or bathroom, and parking isn't easy. The pay off is you can enjoy your beverage as you walk the canals. read more

IMO I was not impressed. It took forever to get our drinks, and the staff wasn't very friendly. The drinks were small and overpriced. The shop was cute and quaint, visually IG worthy...but I wouldn't go back. read more

Such a cute spot! Delicious quality coffee and a unique variety of lattes /drinks to order. The customer service 10/10. Great experience. Quick, easy and friendly. Plus got a lil treat with our coffee. read more

Carmen's Coffee Company - Strawberry Latte 16oz. Cold Chilled fresh brew - 16 ozBrew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

Yummy vegetarian breakfast sandwich. Reliable and good options. Love having them in the neighborhood.

I stopped here on a Thursday morning for a coffee. They have quite a few specialty drink options; I ordered the nitro creamsicle cold brew. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was delicious! The coffee is made in a little truck and there are two small tables for seating, so taking things to-go is the best option. The food looked good, but we didn't try anything. The staff were really nice. read more

What a lovely little coffee spot! Came around noon on a Sunday and was helped right away. The customer service was on point and any questions I had were clearly answered. I decided to get their black forest latte as I was intrigued that it's made with real cherries (big cherry lover here) & spanish chocolate. It was absolutely delicious and well balanced and what made it better was that I was able to get it with macadamia milk. It's so rare for places to carry macadamia milk so what a treat that was! My partner got the nitro cold brew with vanilla cream and loved it as well. I also got their huevo prensado to eat which is a pressed croissant with eggs, cheese and ham inside. I love a good croissant sandwich but the panini press detail made it extra divine. There are a couple tables to sit at next to the truck and parking wasn't too bad either. I definitely want to come back and try more options! read more

Coffee is absolutely amazing! They have an incredible selection of nondairy creamers and flavors to add to your coffee. I enjoyed the breakfast bocadillo, which is this delicious breakfast panini with eggs, machengo cheese, delicious roasted peppers, arugula and green olives. I thought the combination of ingredients sounded so weird to be paired up but decided to try it. OMG it's delicious! And HUGE! It is definitely shareable. I am glad I got to take half home for later! This shop is well worth your time! read more

My favorite coffee spot in Long Beach! Carmen's coffee is packed with flavor, and their unique drink ingredients are a treat for all who consume them. Whether you're sticking to the famous nitro cold brew, or trying a specialty drink (healing spices is my favorite), you can't go wrong with anything off their menu! Each cup of coffee has the cutest little treat on top. The staff are always friendly, and great you with a smile. This place is a must for coffee lovers! read more

They've been coming to my job for a couple weeks now and their drinks are awesome! They also have milk substitutions an d make pastries, some vegan too! The strawberry latte is my fave and the bas thru use is their house milk (almond+vanilla cream) Amazing! Give them a try and support family owned small businesses :) read more

Horrible coffee and staff in my opinion is rude. I would recommend Starbucks or any other coffee house. Somebody sleeps in that truck sometimes when closed, who wants to eat or drink from that? No thank you! And FYI trolling customers not satisfied with your business is petty and unprofessional, definitely a bad look which further supports a not so positive review. I recommend only locations that treat everyone kindly, have class and something of substance to offer the public. If people are spending their hard earned money they deserve the best. Period. read more

Great coffee and delightful experience! Service with a true smile and perfectly presented. Great location too!

Great location to get your car washed and grab a bit. The Huevo Prensadonwas yummy. Must try!! read more

Coffee was ok. Didn't end up getting the sandwiches as the barista admitted they were frozen and it would take a while to get them out. The barista was very rude they entire time of ordering and we were taken a back as we just wanted to have a good start to our Sunday. Oven also looked very dirty. Have this place a lot as a Long Beach local but definitely will not be coming back was it was overall an underwhelming experience. read more

Carmen's Coffee truck has been my favorite for years! The entire team is welcoming- and they all make my drinks and food items perfectly!! The Breakfast Bocadillo is my favorite breakfast. I prefer it over going out to a restaurant for breakfast. My absolute favorite is their Chai latte. They have their own proprietary spice blend (which I wish they sold too, because I would buy it for myself and as gifts) that is absolutely delicious! It has a kick from ginger, cinnamon, and more, that is unparalleled. I have tried to recreate it, but can't come close. I also buy the jalepeno quiche in small batches to keep at home and work when I can't make it to the coffee truck. The pastries are all delicious, even the vegan options. The vegan offerings are not dry and boring, they are even kid approved. As a bonus, the truck also travels to events in the area like the Patchwork festival and car shows (even PTA events), and I always line up when I see them. I know I sound as though I'm obsessed... it's true. I am. read more

We've been coming here for over 6 months now. The staff is friendly and they have a variety of great drinks and treats.

I went to downtown Santa Ana for the artwalk and they were there. So I decided to get coffee with my cousin. This is a cute coffee truck with pastries. I was able to place my order and get my order in a good time. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

We visited Long Beach for a week from Nebraska. We had their coffee every single morning. I still think about how amazing the orangesicle and strawberry cold brews were. The girls working were so sweet and gave us suggestions of things to do in the area. We can't wait to return next summer! read more

I have absolutely loved Carmen's since my first trip there. Fantastic service and fantastic drinks/food!

Both the coffee and matcha here are delicious! Banana foster coffee is awesome and not too sweet. The matcha with strawberry cream foam is on the sweeter side but the flavors were light and refreshing. Very close walk from the beach makes it convenient for grab and go. We didn't try the pastries but each drink comes with a mini bite sized cake on a skewer. read more

My review is actually on the Carmen's Coffee Truck that is currently parked in front of their up and coming location off Linden & Broadway in East Village. I literally live next door to what will be their new location, my wife & I are patiently waiting for them to open. It was a pleasant surprise to walk outside & see the truck. I was greeted by Kia, very nice, very pleasant & friendly young woman. I decided to go for a coffee since I have a long evening ahead of me. The Cupids Mocha, perfectly infused with Strawberry & Vanilla over ice, had a little sift cake bite of some sort as a spill gaurd (very cute, nice touch). My first drink, my taste buds were dancing, it was amazing! Know why they call it Cupids Mocha, you will fall in love with it. I'm very picky and I had nothing to complain about. They had a few food items on the menu but I had just eaten so I waited on the food. Kia made me feel welcome, I can not wait till the shop opens. Come back soon yall. read more

The drink I ordered is just a big no so asked if it was like a Frappuccino she said yes it's not the pieces of ice are way to large such an awkward size you have to bite them similar to a snowcone then you're getting frozen butter in your mouth which the first time I thought it was banana that would make sense since I ordered bananas foster blended it goes all over your mouth and sticks to your teeth like wax this drink is just a fail it doesn't make any sense nobody wants a snowcone to drink with frozen butter in it also the straw they provide is not big enough to drink the drink imagine that so I had to go to Starbucks for a spoon and then go buy a toothbrush and toothpaste to get all the butter off my teeth and mouth before work talk about nightmare read more

I first became acquainted with Carmen's Coffee Company at a community event (remember those??) almost two years ago. Elisa, the owner, was so nice. I felt like I had a new friend! I have ventured out in the COVID-19 quarantine to her Naples location. Her coffee shop operates out of a darling food truck, named for her mother. She adds a little something extra to every beverage...a tasty baked nugget, that makes you want to try a full sized one of her selection of delicious baked goodies! She has terrific quiche too. She is available for rent as well, for that big post-pandemic party you have planned. read more

I always go to Carmen's coffee truck for the iced matcha latte. It has this sort of cinnamon and hint of mint flavor to it. It's different but it's good! They also put this amazing cookie at the top of the drink. I give Carmen's 4 stars instead of 5, just because the drinks are a little overpriced, and because it can really take a while to get your drink. I've sometimes waited almost 20 min. Park right next to Carmen's truck, in the car wash area. I've never had a problem parking there! read more

I definitely wanted to check out the coffee, as the truck was so cute - beautiful teal blue! It was pouring, and I thought it would be a nice treat to have some hot coffee. My husband ordered a latte and I ordered a Spanish mocha. I accidentally had a sip of his drink first (whoops? Haha), thinking it would have been the Spanish mocha and was shocked by the lack of flavor. Little did I know that I was having a sip of my husband's latte! The latte was a bit underwhelming, honestly and the Spanish mocha had some decent spices but felt like it was missing something and wasn't at all sweet - maybe not enough chocolate flavor? I do love the creativity in adding a little cake pop to the beverage, though! Super cute coffee truck, but I unfortunately will be trying a different coffee place next time around. read more

Super cute little coffee cart. I got an iced vanilla latte which was pretty good but kind of over priced. Their food is mostly premade so it's hard to make substitutes if you want a meatless option for the breakfast sandwich. There's a few tables next to the coffee truck so you can sit while you wait or to enjoy your food. Would definitely go again for a quick coffee on the go. read more
