Most of the time when coming to…read morecoffee shops you have to worry about seating especially when you plan to work there but there was plenty. I got: Breakfast burrito with bacon (4/5): good flavor, bacon was crispy, chipotle aioli was tasty and nicely spicy, but potatoes were too big imo. Satisfying and a big burrito for sure. Iced americano with honey (5/5): smooth coffee, good ratio of honey Will be back to try the other stuff!

inconsistent but pretty good when they get it right…read more burritos are mainly potatoes/egg w sprinkling of protein and cheese. donuts are average (not sure where they get them), but overpriced. dont think they take phone orders since its impossible to find a telephone number on the pricier side for a burrito - will probably wait till things stabilize before returning. staff is friendly and food comes out at a decent rate.

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.

If you're looking for a study spot this is definitely a rec. and the coffee makes it even more convincing. The coffee was absolutely amazing with a perfect mixture of sweet n flavorful while still maintaining the bitterness coffee has. I ordered a banana latte, first time having something like that, and it was to die for. The flavors meshed so well. Also had an order of a banana matcha and wow. No complaints. The bold matcha flavor combined so well with the banana if you haven't tried a banana matcha and want to try it get it here! Overall this cafe is probably one of the best in the Long Beach area, if you're searching for high quality coffee and matcha Cafe The Scoop needs to be placed on the list.

I read a few reviews how it's spacious, however I found it to be smaller than I thought. Because of busy it was for a Friday morning, seating was limited as most people were there studying/working or socializing. Staff were very nice and friendly and worked quickly despite the rush. I ordered an iced banana latte and it was good! I would say it was more a hint of banana. I also tried their chocolate croissant which was a good size for breakfast and was perfectly toasted. Most people come here for their matcha so I'd have to give that a try next time. While there is a parking lot, parking was a bit challenging as this coffee shop is in the same lot as a lot of other businesses.

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.

While taking…read more our walks around the neighborhood and we found this place that's very comfortable for the kids to relax but especially for us wanting coffee and tea. 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!

I wonder what # coffee shop this is for me…read more I picked out this spot because I saw via photos on Yelp that there is ample seating inside to do work. I ended up showing up around 12:40 and there were some people but not a whole lot. I was still able to fit me and my life at the table with my coffee. I landed on ordering the pistachio latte. I went on a whim with this because I'm such a Spanish latte girlypop. Ironicallly they're known for their Spanish latte, but I ordered the pistachio latte instead. We were feeling... experimental. And I'm so happy I did! I loved this coffee so much. I don't know what bean they use but it is amazing. It's so rich and smooth. The pistachio nut is nutty and more a background singer. Not overly sweet at all. It is definitely in one of my top coffees for sure. I definitely plan on coming back to this coffee shop for both the space and quality of coffee. Also I need to try the Spanish latte, duh. The only sad part was my friend ordered a blueberry donut & she said it tasted store bought and not good. I can't comment on that because I did not try it but I figured I would add it in here. There have a private room you can book as well! I didn't take a photo of it unfortunately but it's to the left of where the cashier is. Parking is on the street & they have two entrances. WiFi is available and I think there's 2 or 3 restrooms I don't remember lol

Great neighborhood coffee shop in the wrigley community! A good place to chit chat or get some work…read moredone. There's plenty of work space in the main area but only a few outlets on the side wall. They also have private rooms that can be rented out by the hour. The main area isn't the quietest, so just be aware that this isn't the place if you're easily distracted. They have music playing and they way the main room is set up, you can hear the combined conversations that can get really loud. However, the music playlist is a vibe, I enjoyed it even though it was distracting lol They have new drinks based on the season so some items are only available for a certain amount of time but they also keeps their main menu up all year. I tried one of their new drinks- sakura matcha with vanilla cold foam. They charge extra if you ask to sub for oat milk, so 1 drink can really add up. The drink was okay, nothing really stood out to me. I don't think I would order it again. I would love to come back and try one of their lattes next time.
