Although the line may look long, it moves quickly! The team is efficient and keeps things flowing, and the coffee consistently hits the spot. One time, I tipped them via the drive through and it seemed they were not expecting it which made me sad because they deserve it, they work hard in the shop. This is definitely a reliable stop when I'm craving a good cup without having to leave my car.

This review, however, is motivated out of my desire to offer major props to the young man - I think I overheard something like Sip? - working this morning. This guy was on his A game, multitasking and juggling multiple tasks with perceived ease and being pleasant and accommodating all at the same time. Great job! Your effort is noticed and appreciated. Thanks for that. Had it not been for this (and their delicious pastries), I'd give Cyclops a 3 - 4 stars because I have a real bone to pick with paying for a larger Americano and getting the same number of shots regardless. I don't like when businesses do that so that would have otherwise been a major ding for me.

I got a croissant and they warmed it up for me. It was flaky and good, but wow was it buttery! My fingers were covered in grease and i got it all over my laptop. Oops. I wish they had a bigger selection of pastries. I got there at around 11 and their case was pretty bare. Usually my go-to stop in Long Beach for coffee because it's super convenient to get to, but parking can be tough!

WoW! WoW! WoW! I've…read moreseen this company around for a few years but never did I think to try them... until now. I'm so sad that all these years I have been missing out on the goodness. I was looking for something sweet and most local places were closed. I'm not a coffee drinker and I thought this place was like a Starbucks... mostly coffee. I saw Tierra Mia was open late so I decided to check it out. The service was good. There was a full crew of young ladies and they were all very welcoming and doing an outstanding job. This place is always busy but the employees work hard and efficient. The place is very old-school and gives the perfect Latin vibes. All the pastries are delish, My favorite was the churro muffin along with the Mexican hot chocolate. The Mexican hot chocolate tastes just like my mama made it. The place was packed inside and outside. The drive-thru was backed out to the street, I guess that tells you how good it is. I know they have tons of locations now so if you've been like me and have yet to try them... try them! Enjoy :) SYoY!

I got the Dulce de Leche Latte and Tres Leche Muffin…read more First, the muffin was way better than I thought. I don't know what I was expecting to be honest, but it was soft and moist. It literally was a tres leche cake but smaller. It does fall apart quite easily so be careful while eating it. I appreciate that you could warm up the pastry. The latte was delicious. I'm the type that doesn't like the taste of coffee itself and prefer my lattes to be sweet. This matched exactly that. Cannot wait to come back again.

Ehhh, very overrated boba shop, imo. Picked up on this place due to some social media posts I got…read moreshown by friends, but the jelly they show on top of the drinks is actually just a topping that ends up in the drink. It's...ok? I've tried a few of their drinks, but I don't find the tea tasting special at all. The jelly are fine, but also nothing particularly stand out. My first visit I waited like 20mins near closing, which is waaaay better than the hour it was beforehand. And on a recent visit there was essentially no wait. I'm not sure I'd come back as I have other boba shops I much prefer nearby me.

Hechalou ceased to exist at this location. I suspect that owners broke away from the franchise and…read morestarted their own boba business at the same location. They changed the name subtle enough to avoid a lawsuit, but the changes in the menu and the quality of the drinks are far more drastic, and it's not for the better. Gone are the traditional teas and sesame jelly that made Hechalou so famous. These options are replaced by cheap imitations of Starbucks' frothy drinks that sound good on paper but taste like iced piss with sugar. The drinks are excessively sweet, a mortal sin by Asian standard, and they have a generic taste that might as well have one item on the entire menu. Alas, to get a sip of the old favorites, now I have to drive across town instead of stop by after work. I am glad that I got my many trips here before the old guards died, and it's probably better for my hemoglobin A1c in the long run.

It was a Saturday morning and the ambiance still felt like a neighborhood coffee spot. The staff was friendly and nice enough to give a few minutes to look at the menu and answer some questions. There isn't a lot of space to sit inside. There are a few tables outside at the sidewalk. The inside though, is lovely decorated with plants and other things. I got a Cafe con Leche drink, and it was just as expected. My only comment would be that you can only get a certain size for certain drinks; but I assume it is common. They also have pastries including cookies, cake, and macaroons as well as food items. I have never gotten food, but the pastries have always been delicious!

I tried their lemon bar and it was so buttery and flaky that crust and the lemon was so tangy and tart and sweet. My chai latte was also so creamy and sweet and hot. I loved it. I love those spices in it. Service was very friendly and fast it seem to be a favor with locals as it was very busy and mostly inside the ambience is very calm and relaxed. They don't drown you and loud music. Everything is very quiet and peaceful. It's also very close to the beach so you can take a drink and bite to go and eat it as you watch the ocean waves roll in!! Thank you to my cousin Brenda for bringing me here. I can't wait to go back~~~

I picked this spot specifically because of the pictures of the shop, which made it look like a cute, dainty little place tucked away, and once we got there it really was. Great little design, though the inside is extremely small. The staff was very sweet and welcoming, so that part was a win. My wife got a ham and cheese croissant and a vanilla latte, and I got their vanilla matcha latte. The croissant was just your standard croissant. Nothing wow, nothing crazy, the kind of thing you could get at any other coffee shop. I couldn't tell if it was made fresh in house or came from a local bakery. The vanilla latte was actually good, pretty creamy with a nice little vanilla taste that wasn't overpowering. My matcha, on the other hand, was not memorable at all. It tasted like watered down milk with a hint of matcha, and it just wasn't mixed properly. I could kind of tell as soon as I saw it, and my first sip confirmed it. My wife and I are matcha connoisseurs, if you will, so our expectations are pretty high, and this is just not a place I'd recommend for matcha. Maybe they had a bad batch that day, I'm not sure, but I took two or three sips and threw it away. That's totally okay though, because we ended up just sharing the vanilla latte, which was pretty good, just a standard vanilla latte. Would I recommend this place? Not quite, but maybe next time. www.whatcustomers.com

The Monster Latte was refreshing for a hot day, and the passion fruit milk tea had a nice balance of sweetness and tea flavor. The golden boba also had a great texture. What can I say--just really solid boba when you need a cold drink to cool down.
