I love this place so much. Ground Hideout Coffee is a Long Beach coffee shop gem. They are family owned. They have a great coffee and food menu without overwhelming customers. I love their in house made foams. The seating inside and outside is small but very cozy. Their drinks are so delicious. I love their customer service, they're super friendly. Honestly, this is one of the best coffee shops in Long Beach. Street parking is available, check them out on Instagram. read more

Update: My point proven with their response. Original post: I honestly wasn't going to post anything because I thought the whole situation was really weird, but I feel the owner should know how this interaction was handled. I've been to this coffee shop many times before and have never been treated this way by any of the brothers who work there, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I asked to use the restroom because I genuinely had to go. I was told I needed to make a purchase first. I was already planning on buying something, so I made the purchase. After I paid, I was STILL told I couldn't use the restroom because the employee said she felt uncomfortable. If there is a restroom policy, I understand. But I followed what I was told to do and made a purchase, so I don't understand why I was still denied. I then asked for the employee's name because I wanted to make a complaint. Asking for an employee's name is NOT a threat. It is a normal thing for a customer to do when they want to provide feedback. What I don't understand is why the situation escalated to the point where I was being kicked out simply for asking for a name. That's why I didn't immediately leave. I wanted to explain myself because I genuinely felt like I had not done anything wrong. The dad was the person I was trying to speak with because he was the only one I felt I could have a calm conversation with. I was NOT screaming at him. I was trying to explain what happened. He was explaining their restroom policy, but I don't think he understood that I had ALREADY made a purchase and that there was more to the situation. It felt like everyone immediately took the daughter's side because she said she felt uncomfortable without stopping to ask why or what had actually happened. As a business owner, you should understand the entire situation before making a decision. If your daughter says she feels uncomfortable, why not ask what happened and understand both sides before removing a customer? I eventually left because I didn't want the situation to escalate further. Instead, I was being pushed out while people were recording me and putting their phones in my face. I did not give permission or consent to be recorded, and I specifically said that during the interaction. I was not recording them during that time. But then I did have to record and I do have a recording of the moment when the mom touched me to make me leave, and what I said during that interaction is on the recording. There are also cameras at the busines that can show what happened. I should have called the police when she put her hands on me, but I chose not to. I'm a mom too, and I didn't want to put another family in that situation while emotions were high. I would have preferred for someone to simply take a moment to understand what happened. This was never about who was right or wrong. It was about basic etiquette and customer service. I also looked at the business Instagram afterward and saw that it is Latino family-owned. I'm Latina as well, so it was especially disappointing to feel so unwelcome. I'm a mom and a single mom, and I had gotten very little sleep that day. I'll be honest I did not look put together. I looked tired because I WAS tired. The way I was treated left me feeling like I was being judged based on my appearance. I'm not saying I know what was in anyone's mind, but I know how the interaction made me feel. If someone walks into your business looking tired, messy, or not "put together," should they receive different treatment? Customers deserve basic respect regardless of how they look. After everything happened, I didn't even receive my full refund. The money was thrown back to me in a way that felt extremely disrespectful. I've been here many times and never experienced anything like this. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will never be back and I will never spend another dime here. This isn't about revenge or threatening anyone. It's about basic respect, customer service, and etiquette especially here in Long Beach. I came in as a customer. I expected to be treated with respect. That's it. read more

Lovely service and great coffee! I came for a solo date with my book and found the space to be super cozy and perfect for reading with a coffee and biscuit sandwich. The owner is beyond friendly and treats you like family. As I was sitting with my biscuit and just thinking some jam would be great with it, she checked in on me and asked if I'd like some jam for my biscuit. I'll definitely be coming back. Thank you so much for the kind service. It was appreciated more than you know! *I did bring my laptop to work, but there is a no laptop or tablet policy Friday-Sunday. I respect that commitment to maintaining a more genuine experience for customers when they come in. read more

Service was incredible! I found parking nearby. I knew I wanted to try their Ocean Latte, however their summer series menu looked very tempting - I wanted to get at least two other drinks. I ultimately got what I came for and it looked great, but I just thought it was ok. Really sweet service and I have been wanting to come here for a long time. I'm happy I was able to finally try it. read more

Ground Hideout Coffee - Ocean Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

Ground hideout coffee is a coffee shop on the corner of E 4th street with indoor and outdoor seating. I came here with my family of four to grab a quick bite before a road trip. The staff was friendly and able to make some good recommendations. I got the sunrise sandwich and cookie butter latte. The cookie butter latte came with a biscoff cookie on top which made it look really cute. It was not overly sweet which I appreciated. The sunrise sandwich had a house made habanero jam which provided a good amount of heat. The arugula was a nice fresh ingredient addition atop the crispy bacon. If I lived in the area I would surely be back because this place was delicious! read more

Such a cute corner coffee shop in LB! I was lucky and found temporary street parking my first time in, but it can definitely be a challenge. The autumn series had just dropped so I tried the sea salt maple latte with oat milk & it was soo tasty! All of the drinks and food options look delicious - will definitely be back to try another seasonal drink! read more

I finally decided to try Ground Hideout Coffee and will definitely be back! The aesthetic is super cute and cozy with lots of natural light, plants, and comfortable seating. I placed a pickup order and it was ready in about 15 minutes. I stopped by around 1 PM, which seemed to be one of their busiest times. The employees looked super busy, and they may have been a little understaffed, but everyone was still friendly, calm, and professional. My food was ready first and the drinks came shortly after. Both the food and coffee were a solid 9/10 -- everything tasted fresh and delicious. It was definitely worth the wait. The only thing to keep in mind is parking. It appears to be mostly metered street parking, and I got lucky because the meter I parked at still had time left on it. Overall, great coffee, great food, and a really cute atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! (p.s I got Cookie Butter Latte, Carrot Cake Latte, Sunrise Sandwich, Almond Butter Toast, Caprese Melt) read more

The matcha is pretty good here. I got fancy and tried their summer special: matcha mango - but without the syrup cuz I don't like my drinks too sweet. The mango cold foam was sweet enough and delicious. Not pictured is the vegetarian breakfast burrito I got , came with salsa verde (love that)- so filling and tasty. It was perfectly soft and crispy at the same time. Very cute small shop, big beautiful windows, and they had some outdoor seating as well. Only street parking mostly metered. read more

I placed a pick up order for 8:15 am and upon entering the establishment, the person at the register didn't say anything when I went up to the counter. He just had a blank stare and I started the conversation by saying goodmorning. Blank stare. I told him my name and that I placed my order online. Blank stare again and he walked away and came back to hand my drink and the only words I heard during this very awkward interaction was "here you go" and thats it. The Carrot Cake Latte was nothing special and the flavors clash with the weak espresso taste. I don't think I could justify the price and lack of service to return. read more

I love this coffee shop. Their coffee is so good and they always come up with amazing seasonal drinks like right now they have their fall drinks out. The Caramel Apple Latte was amazing and last month when they had their summer series, I tried the Ocean Latte and it was so good. They are always so nice when I go and my favorite sandwich is the Sunrise Sandwich because it has habanero jam; it's spicy but sweet and it just really adds to the sandwich (: read more

I used to really like this place, but unfortunately it's gotten pretty expensive and there seem to be a lot more rules now. The "no laptops" rule at a coffee shop was especially surprising since a lot of people go to coffee shops to study or work. I paid $28 for a breakfast burrito and an iced latte The food and coffee were good, but for the price I expected a little more. The atmosphere also didn't feel as warm or welcoming as I remembered. read more

I tried their cappuccino and enjoyed sitting inside the cafe. They use a blend of a light roast espresso. While it's a nice cup of cap, it's very smooth taste of espresso while I like mine to be more espresso forward cap. Breakfast options, sandwiches and pastries available Service was friendly and quick. Ambiance is nice inside and out. They also have coffee making accessories available for sale as well as candles and tea. read more

At the corner of 4th & Elm, you'll find a wonderful coffee joint where you can feel right at home. Pretty fast service that comes with a smile. Great indoor vibes, but it's even better outside to people watch the very vibrant and diverse community in this part of DTLB. I enjoyed my pistachio latte. Their other menu items look and smells amazing. Definitely worth coming back! read more

Gave this place a try and it was pretty okay. It's a nice quaint little coffee shop! The staff were really nice. Theres some seating inside and outside! I got the carrot cake latte, which was actually very delicious! The coffee tasted smooth and the cream cheese cold foam was sooooo good! We also got a matcha with sugar free vanilla syrup, but it was kind of disappointing. Maybe it was an off day, but it tasted sort of sour and a bit weird. read more

I found this place on Yelp and was so excited to try! I seem good reviews here and on TikTok. My sister and I finally got around to trying it. It's a quaint coffee shop in the heart of downtown Long Beach. I was lucky to find street parking. Upon arrival, I wasn't impressed or disappointed. Everything was pretty standard. They had a regular menu and limited time or seasonal menu. The service was sub par. Kind of dry but they were kinda busy. I ordered two drinks, the smores and brown butter or sugar one. The smores had more flavor (I asked for extra sweet on both) the browned butter one was nothing spectacular. They were smooth but didn't have a strong coffee profile. I don't think it was good enough to go back but I can see why the locals enjoy it. read more

If you weren't looking hard enough, you can easily miss this place. I dont know if it play on word in part that "Hideout" is a part of their name or it just happens to be that difficult to find. Just be aware. Customer service is great. The pastries looked fresh. The interior looked clean. The coffee... it was okay. I can say it won't be my go-to place for coffee considering how competitive coffee is in Long Beach, but I would still say to check them out. read more

The biscuit is homemade and absolutely amazing. I got mine with scrambled egg instead of over easy. I told the young lady that I like mocha and sweet. She recommended strawberry cold foam, and then little less sweetener in the white mocha. It still had that great coffee taste, a little sweet, and then that hint of fresh strawberry. It was so absolutely amazing, I ordered another one for the road on my travels. read more

I came in for their Winter Series! I ordered their Matcha Grinch Latte drink (not sure if that was the name since it was handwritten and not on the printed out menu.) My friend got the campfire latte, and while I don't drink coffee, I can confidently say that this place does not serve good matcha. It tasted closer to chocolate milk than actual matcha. I'm sure they have better drinks, but for anyone else, stay away from the matcha if you want to save your 7 dollars. Parking is limited but the interior more than makes up for the drinks, it's got outlets, and plenty of tables for college students, but I can see it being busy during finals. read more

The shop has a nice aesthetic, but they don't allow laptops Friday Saturday or Sunday. I bought a coffee and was working outside, waiting for my drink when it wasn't busy at all, and they asked me to put it away. Really bad way to keep business as I wouldn't return. Other guests mentioned it was weird. read more

Cute coffee spot in Long Beach. We walked here from our hotel - The Hyatt. Inside has seating, it's quiet, clean, and perfect to relax and enjoy coffee. Service was a little slow because only 3 people were working and they were very busy! I understand why. The cold brew I got with eggnog cold foam was amazing. The coffee wasn't bitter and the egg nog made it creamy. We enjoyed our iced coffees as we walked around Long Beach the rest of the morning. read more

The foam was delectable and their cold brew coffee was strong but not bitter, a perfect cup read more

I came here on a Saturday morning after a workout. It's a cute coffee shop located right on the corner. It's a family run business as you can tell by the photos on the wall. A small shop with quality service and quality ingredients. I had the most delicious pistachio matcha latte here. I think it may have been a limited time offering but oh my, it was so good! I also had the avocado toast with a fried egg on top. I don't normally order avocado toast but I had just finished a workout and this is exactly what I needed. It tasted fresh and was quite good. read more

I don't know what people are writing about when they say rude service... I think they must have been the rude ones and not the people working there. The staff were very friendly and even checked on me after I started eating. The lady taking my order said she makes the vanilla syrup for the cloud coffee herself and they have single origin beans so the coffee is strong and tasty. The breakfast burrito was delicious and was pressed so it stayed intact and didn't fall apart as I was eating it. They have cute cafe tables outside that are perfect if you bring your furry friend. read more

It was the perfect balance of sweet and coffee and they make their syrups in house! A true LBC gem. read more

The ham n cheese croissant was super flaky and well made. The biscuit for the breakfast sando was delicious, the jam on the side was perfect with it. Now for the biscoff latte, I'm not sure if it was the oat milk or the butter but the drink tasted nutty, it was alright. The staff was very friendly read more

Love love love! Delicious speciality lattes. I recommend the tiramisu or the toasted coconut. Liked my cup clean after the coffee was gone. Also got a breakfast sandwich that left me drooling after the first bite. I don't remember the name of it, but it had dippy egg, bacon, a jelly with a little kick to it, on a brioche bun. I would come back for this breakfast 100 times. If I lived closer it would definitely be a problem. read more

There's something so charming about this quaint little coffee shop. The ambient music set the tone, and the soft rhythm of Spanish being spoken around me made the whole experience feel like a quiet escape. I ordered the honey pistachio latte and avocado toast. The latte was rich and flavorful, with bits of pistachio that gave it both texture and the perfect kick to start my day. The avocado toast was fresh and satisfying. I added bacon, and you could smell it being cooked right there, warm and inviting. My Southern taste buds did wish for just a touch more salt, but overall it was still delicious. Definitely a place I'll return to. Worth every bit for the service, ambiance, and flavor. read more

Been working in DTLB for a little under 20 years and to be honest I always try to look for new coffee/restaurant/snacks/desserts/any shop to try! Overtime my colleagues and I really ran out of options but when we stumbled upon a good place, we really go out of our way to support the business! So, I dragged my colleague to Ground Hideout coffee (it was about 20 mins walk) to try their coffee and pleasantly discovered they also have super cute plants on consignment here! We both got iced Chagaccino with different milk base and it was so yummy! Would definitely coming back. It would be one of the places to motivate us to speed walk to enjoy a good cup of coffee and maybe pastries too. They looked pretty yummy! read more

I was at a convention for the weekend in the area, and was really looking for a cute spot to grab good coffee and food. This spot was on our way to the parking lot we were headed to, so we made a quick stop. For starters, it's a very stylish, and well decorated space with plenty of natural light! They have seating both outdoors and indoors by the windows, and while it was pretty busy, I was lucky to snag a spot in the corner window. From the start, the service was very friendly, and I really got great energy from all the employees who worked there! The food and coffee was the real highlight for me though. The biscuit with egg and bacon was so tasty and very filling! I loved the biscuit it was on and it had a really nice texture. The coconut chocolate latte was also a hit for me, and had a great flavor. I had no trouble finishing off both, in fact, it made me wish I had more. I'm really glad that I stopped by here, because it will definitely become a go to stop when I'm in downtown Long Beach. Try it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more
