I can't wait to come back! The staff were so kind! I left in a more positive mood than when I came in I loved that they had a sign to direct me to this store with cute outside seating and plenty inside seating as well. The menu is so big I can't wait to come back and try a bite. Their smoothie and hot lemon ginger tea was very good. Look at that cute little Sonny angel one way to be as happy as that Sonny angel is to come get some food and drinks here ! read more

Love this place. They have delicious food, baked goods and drinks (their matcha is one of the best I've tasted in LB) Customer service was just as amazing too! This is definitely a great addition to 2nd St, I can't wait to come back! read more

This the newest addition to coffee shops in Belmont Shore. Open about two months, located next door to the Candy Store, I decided to give it a try. The shop is large and cheery. It seems to be quite popular, as it filled quickly after my 9:00 arrival. They serve pastries, breakfast and lunch foods, in addition to a full espresso bar selection (oh! And ice cream ). The coffee is excellent! After becoming accustomed to more insipid brews, this is flavorful, strong (in a very good way) and balanced. There is a patio out front, which is lovely for people watching and also making new friends. I found my morning here to be throughly pleasant read more

New Coffee/Breakfast/lunch/gelato place that recently opened up in Belmont Shore. I walked by it a few times and decided to try it out this morning. I was just going to go in for a iced coffee drink but stayed for breakfast! Very inviting, lots of seating inside, and a patio with some seating outside. Even a doggie bowl full of water for your furbabies! Several people had their laptops and were doing work. Quiet place and room to spread out! The menu is a bit overwelming at first glance, as they have lunch sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, coffee/tea drinks, gelato, and smoothies! The staff was very patient while I reviewed their many offerings. I decided on a Bagel with Lox/works on a toasted Sesame Bagel. If you know me, I love my bagels and drive over to Los Al usually to my other places. So happy a have found a place that is a short walk away vs driving! The Sesame Bagel was very fresh! The Lox on top, very fresh and generous portion. Open faced, easily shareable, so larger, but as usual I managed to finish it all. I was dining alone this morning. I ordered an Iced Matcha Latte, excellent! Service was very friendly and helpful! You order at the counter and then they bring it to your table. For a weekday mid-morning, it was surprisingly busy, very good to see for a new business! Definitely coming back very soon! I go out for breakfast once a week, usually by car, but not anymore, found my once a week new place! read more

A 40 MINUTE WAIT FOR A TURKEY PANINI!! I came in with a friend to finally try this spot, but it was a total disaster from start to finish. We ordered separately, and after my friend received her sandwich, I realized something was wrong since I had actually ordered before her. When I asked about my food, the lady told me she had only taken my smoothie order. She said she'd "put it in now" and told me I could just pay for the sandwich afterward since she was busy taking other orders. I sat there watching person after person get their food while I was waiting on a turkey panini! It wasn't until my friend asked for a to-go box that they finally claimed my food was "coming up." By then, I had completely lost my appetite. I told them to give the sandwich to someone else and walked out. Truly an annoying, poorly managed experience. I will NOT be returning! read more

Espresso Bar on 2nd Street is basically where Long Beach goes to pretend we all have our lives together. The café is cute, bright, aesthetic... like everyone inside either owns a film camera or journals for fun. The lox and bagel? Dangerous. The chicken panini? Life-changing. And the berry smoothie tastes like somebody mixed vacation, therapy, and good decisions into one drink. I walked in planning to grab Spanish latte and leave... next thing I know, I'm sitting there for two hours acting mysterious on my laptop with absolutely nothing open. Honestly, this spot makes you want to order "just one drink" and somehow leave with three drinks, a sandwich, and a new hobby. read more

Came across a tik tok highlighting Espresso Bar's matcha lattes and tuna salad sandwiches (2 of my fav things) so I knew I had to try it. Got lucky and found a metered parking spot out front. Upon entering, was pleased to see the airy, modern atmosphere. Perfect to sit and chat with a friend. However I wasn't impressed by the quality of food. My bf got the acai bowl and it was completely melted, like an acai soup. Or an expensive bowl-form smoothie. The granola they chose didn't complement the flavor as well. The tuna salad melt was pretty good but for the price of nearly $17, I think it could've had more to offer. It looked much less impressive than the tik tok I saw. I've been on a quest to try all the matcha lattes I can in LB, but this latte was one of my least favorite I've tried, nothing special. As another reviewer mentioned, the cashier is not very welcoming, but I would say it was an overall neutral experience as far as service. Was a decent experience but would not recommend. read more

I ordered a sugar-free vanilla latte and I was impressed! It had the most smooth coffee that reminded me of my mom's Armenian coffee! It was the perfect amount of sweetness and the best part was they had coconut milk! The girl helping was very sweet and the coffee shop was pretty big. read more

Came to this place for some coffee after soaking up some sun at the beach. I believe it was a viral tik tok my friend saw that had us curious to try. We ordered the strawberry matcha which was to die for!! Also got a lavender latte that did not disappoint. The banana latte was okay, but the gelato definitely hit the spot! Loved the natural lighting of the place, perfect for sitting in & doing some work or studying. Service was quick & the bathroom was ELITE, so nice & clean. read more

10/10 would recommend! The tuna melt was chef's kiss. I cannot recommend it enough! The only feedback I have is to include some chips or something small as a side along with the sandwich bc the sandwiches are kind of expensive to come solo. read more

I was one of many people drawn here after seeing the viral TikTok/Instagram video showcasing this new spot. It's within walking distance of my house, so I was excited to stop by and try the pastrami sandwich featured in the video. The interior is very cute, and the bathroom is clean and well designed. I ordered the pastrami sandwich to-go, and overall it was very tasty! The pastrami was good quality, the jalapeños added a nice spice, and the pickles on the side were great. Next time i would probably choose the sourdough bread instead because the ciabatta was a bit tough. One disappointment worth noting is that the pastrami sandwich i received looked noticeably different from the one shown in the viral video. There was significantly less meat than what was advertised. I understand wanting to make an influencer's experience special, but it's important that the product customers receive is consistent with what is being promoted. When people visit specifically because of a viral post, they expect the same quality and portion they saw online. I noticed a similar difference with the tuna melt. The influencer's sandwich appeared generously filled, while the restaurant's own Yelp photo shows a much smaller portion. This wasn't necessarily a dealbreaker for us- Espresso Bar is still new and finding its rhythm. However, consistency between what is advertised and what customers receive will be important for building trust and encouraging repeat visits. I'm happy to support small local businesses and hope to see them succeed! Consistency will go a long way in building a loyal neighborhood following. read more

I never had pastrami and was very surprised about how good it was. It was hot and ready to go. The matcha with mango was also very good and the almond glow smoothie was very good. 10 on all boards. I love how inviting this place it great vibes. The service was also very good easy to order and the came to give us the food which I appreciated. read more

I went to the bathroom. And I ordered my drink before the bathroom. I took about 6 mins in the bathroom with peeing and washing my hands. When I came out the guys were chatting and it was no customers at all. I figured they had my drink ready since they were talking and I didn't see any movement. Thought maybe they gave my friend the drink who was with his drink sitting outside. When I asked them if my drink was ready and if they did give it to my friend they both looked puzzled and then said "oh my bad" we didn't even start on it. I had to sit outside and wait about another 5-7 minutes for my drink. I ordered the strawberry matcha and it's steep. $9 and change for it to take about 13 mins and no customers because the two guys decided to be all giggly and talkative instead of getting the customer taken care off. Totally unacceptable! read more

I had an amazing experience at Espresso Bar! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable. The service was top-notch--friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about making sure everything was perfect. Every item I tried was absolutely delicious. You can really tell they care about quality and consistency in what they serve. The espresso was rich and flavorful, and the rest of the menu did not disappoint at all. Overall, everything--from the service to the drinks and food--was awesome. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Espresso Bro to anyone looking for a great spot! read more

The food was decent and service was fine. I did ask for no tomatoes and got them in my sandwich no biggie I took them out. What bothered me more was the lack of chicken in my chicken sandwich? Matcha didn't taste much like matcha the mango overpowered. And what threw me off was a worker went up to us to tell us they were closing 15 mins before but didn't tell any other table besides mine I thought that was a little odd. Overall this is a skip for me read more

I'm a local and live just a few blocks away, so I was really excited to finally try Espresso Bar. I ordered a strawberry matcha, but unfortunately, I could barely taste the matcha, and the drink seemed to be mostly ice. The quality didn't live up to my expectations, especially given how much I was looking forward to supporting a nearby business. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I don't think I'll be returning. read more

First off, I don't like writing negative reviews. I was excited to try this cafe but was left disappointed. We spent $56 after tip for 2 drinks and 2 food items. The caramel latte was okay but came in a tiny cup and was nothing memorable. The banana collagen latte tasted like artificial banana flavor (think banana laffy taffy). Onto the food. The lox on everything bagel was as expected. The turkey avocado crepe is the what compelled me to write this review. This is truly inedible. Seriously unfollowing the TT creator that recommended this bs. The turkey is so salty along with the salted avocado. I love salt but this was a salt bomb that I could not finish. I always finish my food. Skip these items. The prices here are giving airport for no reason. Leaving this review here so that people are warned before choosing this over nearby options. read more

The pastrami sandwich is a GEM. Loved everything about it. I asked for some modifications and the crew vibed with it no problem. I think the team members name was Brux who made the sandwich for me. Dropped it off himself and checked on me. A+ pastrami. I wish I could eat it more often. read more

They use torani syrups for their drinks and none their flavors are house made. I wanted this place to be good after I seen so many businesses already fail at this spot. I just don't enjoy torani or monin syrups. I understand not everything has to be house made but that's what I've come to expect when paying extra to support a small business. I can buy those flavors at Marshall's ... so why not make it at home. You need to be doing a lot more than that to stand out in the Long Beach coffee scene. read more
