Guys, I buy coffee out every single day, and most days I even make a second cup at home--so when I say this is some of the BEST coffee, I mean it! You truly can't go wrong with anything here. They know how to dial in their beans and pull the perfect shot, and you can actually taste the quality of the coffee in every drink. I've tried so many of their drinks and have loved them all. I go to a lot of coffee shops, and sometimes places get so caught up in the aesthetic, 100+ syrup flavors, cream tops, and all the extras that the actual coffee gets lost. This place manages to be cool, creative, and unique while still getting the most important part absolutely right..the coffee. And the pastries?! SO good. Made in-house and seriously worth getting with your drink. My favorite the butter croissant and strawberry cream cheese danish. Great location, amazing atmosphere, incredible coffee, and everything is consistently on point. I come here at least four times a month, and it never disappoints. Easily one of the best coffee spots around!
It's located next to Bristol Village Plaza, and when I went, there is plenty of parking. Inside the store was pretty spacious, and there is also lots of seating available. Good for studying and working. What I got: Banana Cloud Matcha $6.95 - 2/5 for me. - although the cream was tasty, it was mostly foam for some reason. Their matcha tasted bitter and watered down. And once the drink is mixed, you will not taste the matcha AT ALL. Service was okay. I saw that the girl who helped the customer before me was really friendly and accomodating. However, the guy who took my order was not really friendly as throughout our interaction he did not smile once, and sounded really bored and lowkey annoyed. Anyway, I would still go back to try their lattes/coffee as I think that's what they are more know for.
First time here & the einspanner did not disappoint, I really look forward to trying it again! Glad we stumbled by this small coffee shop tucked away in a lot across Boil & Bake. The baristas were awesome, interior was clean and uniquely furnished, bathroom was clean, parking was not bad. Would definitely come back here again to explore their menu and other flavors!
I dropped off my little one at a day camp close by. Went with my usual coffee order and opened up my laptop. Found myself at a small table for six, with 2 other people and an outlet on the wall behind me. I decided to stay much longer than anticipated, because the vibe was good, and orderd a croissant and another drink. Patty gave me great service and recommendations. She also remembered my name, so that is always a plus. Its the kind of place where you can spend a couple hours. They have a little library with a couple games too. I ended up here 5 days in a row!
This might be my newest favorite spot for a banana matcha because that banana cream top was just perfection. It was a bit sweet, but when combined with the matcha, it was just right. The space felt very open and minimal but still had some mid-century modern style furniture for you to hang out with some friends or get some work done. They also have some board games to play as well some shelves that display merch and coffee beans from Korea for sale! Honestly, you'd never know there was this coffee spot unless you look past the gas station and semi-dated plaza, but I definitely appreciate another nearby spot to add to my rotation for solid matcha drinks. Service was really quick and overall friendly. Space felt very clean and definitely would return to try their other drinks!
I ordered the biscoff latte. Had hazelnut coffee base which I didn't love love but the biscoff cold foam on top was amazing and once it mixed a little better with the coffee was all delicious.
A colleague brought me a coconut macadamia latte from here one morning and I've been wanting to come back for my own experience. Today was that day! When I arrived, parking was a bit busy but I found a spot. I walked instead to smiling faces. They gave a few recommendations and I chose the pistachio cream latte. They let me know that the croissants were made in house so of course I had to get one as well! I picked the spinach kale croissant. If it has greens it's healthy right? I explored the decor while I waited. It's a cute little place with some seating. Once they called my name, I excitedly hurried over to try my drink and croissant. The verdict? AMAZING! All of it. I could go back tomorrow and be just as impressed.
Long Black Coffee sits near the eastern Costa Mesa / North Newport Beach border on Bristol, where there's a dearth of Asian coffee shops, so when this one opened up in the neighborhood, we had to go pay a visit! I'm a sucker for creamy, cloud-like textures, so naturally I ordered the Einspänner. The coffee part was strong and delicious, while the thick, velvety hazelnut cream top was such a decadent treat. Of course I had to take a few sips of the hazelnut cream top before mixing it into the coffee. I'd highly recommend it if you've never had an Einspänner. I'm looking forward to trying the pistachio cream latte, biscoff cookie butter latte, or corn latte next time!
Could have came here for work but I didn't bc it was Sabbath. I didn't see any tables where you can park and work for a few hours. You prolly could. But if you need coffee before flight, this is the place to get yo caffeine. It's right across from that nice hotel so it's quite convenient. The waifu was commenting on how nice the prices were. No need to make your own 'bucks drinks to save a few bucks. Also it's got a nice library so it's definitely vibing and welcoming atmosphere to just sit and chill before a busy flight schedule. Solid A--
The space is small but cozy and cute. They have some books and board games to spend the time here. Small parking lot thats shared with the gas station and other shops. Ordered the hot Orange Bourbon Cardamom latte; wow! Its not for the faint of heart because it does have a very particular taste. The taste of orange peels is strong and makes the coffee mildy bitter but the sweetness and oat milk balance it out perfectly. Its such a unique drink and soooo good!! The syrups are definitely homemade and make the drink so special. Service was quick, several staff members working in the back. Super friendly when they handed me my drink. Will be back!
I was in the area for an appointment and I love checking out new coffee shops and Long Black Coffee did not disappoint. There didn't seem to be much parking considering the other shops in the strip mall. However, I got some gas and stayed parked there while I ran in to get coffee. No outdoor seating but a few tables and comfy chairs inside to accommodate. I believe I also saw a few shelves full of board games. The gentleman welcomed me as soon as I walked in which I absolutely love. After a quick glance at the menu, I decided on the iced coconut macadamia latte. It was so delicious. The perfect amount of sweetness, full of flavor, and the coffee wasn't bitter at all. I will definitely return if I'm back in the area.
The staff here is super friendly and very good at their craft. You get the same service as all of their other locations. The new iced espresso orange bourbon cardamom is packed with a light cardamom flavor accompanied by orange bourbon cocktail like flavor. This is one of those sip in a glass cup drinks that you need to sit and enjoy in house. It's just classy and refreshing for summer. 5/5 stars Orange bourbon cardamom lattes is very similar to the iced espresso with not milk added. I prefer the balanced flavors in the iced espresso but if you need a larger version this is it! Summer drinks are on point for April! 4/5 stars Croffle with cream - crispy outside soft inside like a waffle should be. Sweet cream on top is perfectly sweet. It's a good light breakfast. 4/5 stars Jalepeno cheese Croffle with bacon green onion is packed with flavor from the Croffle to the cream topping. Fresh green onions with bacon is great combo. 5/5 stars
Got their einspanner latte and it was so good! Strong but sweet and creamy. The hazelnut cream was an added touch most spots don't have

I was staying at a hotel across the street for a few days and went looking for a good coffee shop on this side of town. I actually tried another nearby place first, only to discover it was closed for renovations--and I am SO glad it was, because otherwise I might never have found Long Black. I ended up coming here three times. No regrets. My first visit, I ordered the Biscoff cookie coffee and a spam, egg & cheese croissant. The coffee was delicious and, surprisingly, not overly sweet at all. You could still really taste the quality of the coffee underneath the flavor. And the spam, egg & cheese croissant? LIFE-CHANGING. Seriously. The next day I came back and tried their popular hazelnut Einspänner. I was not prepared for how thick the cream layer on top would be at first, but I let it sit for a bit while I drove to the office and allowed the cream to melt into the coffee a little. AMAZING. I love hazelnut, and this was so good. Naturally, I had to come back one more time before leaving and tried the banana cloud coffee. Again: fantastic. What impressed me most across all three drinks was the balance. Their flavored coffees aren't "sugar with some coffee." You taste the COFFEE first, then the rich cream and flavor, and then just enough sweetness. That's really hard to do well, and they absolutely nail it. I also tried an almond croissant, which was very good--and I say that as an almond-croissant heat-seeking missile who will find every great almond croissant within striking distance. They told me they bake their pastries in-house that morning, and you can tell. I eventually brought my sister with me, and she loved it too, including her regular croissant. Beyond the food and drinks, I loved watching the staff work. Everyone seemed genuinely dedicated to what they were doing and to the craft of making really good coffee. I came here because another coffee shop was closed. I came back twice because Long Black was THAT good. This will absolutely be my coffee stop anytime I'm on this side of town again. read more
Long Black Coffee & Cafe is hidden off the side by Arco gas station. The small plaza seems muted by the busy streets and other more colorful shops at opposite corners. Long Black has the option of online ordering but I decided to stop in to check out the ambiance. I found the interior much more spacious and welcoming than I'd expected seeing how weird the angle of the door to the cafe. We placed our orders and see several people already enjoying the space. The coffee and matcha are great. I see Long Black also joining the trend of offering season "Orange cream" type of a foam or note.... They took it up a notch by adding the essence of orange cream liqueur. I had to give it a try, and it wasn't bad, but the orange cream flavor didn't hold up the way I wanted. It dissolved pretty quickly, so by the end, it felt more like I was just drinking cold brew with a hint of orange. I should had stuck with my usual and favorite Biscoff Pannna Coffee!! read more
Had a chance to stop by today and was VERY impressed! Long Black is located at the corner of Bristol & Red Hill, in the same plaza as the AMPM gas station. There's plenty of parking next door, and while there is no seating outside, there's plenty indoors. It's a really minimal shop, but they have some cool furniture if you want to hang out and play some board games. Service was friendly and fast, especially since the line never let up the entire time I was there. On the food & drinks front, I ordered a ham/cheese/jalapeño croissant, an almond croissant, the Pistachio Cream Latte (w/ almond milk), the Maple Pumpkin Pie Latte (w/ oat milk), and the Orange Bourbon Cardamom latte (w/ oat milk). Everything was great, I especially enjoyed the ham/cheese croissant m, OBC latte (the orange and cardamom really stand out in this and compliment each other well), and the Pistachio Cream latte (if you like pistachio ice cream you'll love this). Their seasonal MPP latte was good, but I didn't get as much pumpkin in it as I would've liked (still a good drink). This is a great coffee shop that makes unique drinks that I really enjoyed. I definitely plan to come back to try some of their other drinks, and would recommend paying them a visit if you're in the area. read more

Iced einspanner. I love coffees topped with cream. It completes the look. Seating inside includes a big community table and a few smaller tables. Located on the corner of Bristol/Redhill next to the Arco gas station. I order on the app and pick up my drink. Rewards program! Baristas are friendly and it feels calm inside. read more
This coffee shop happened to be right across the hotel we were staying at and I'm glad I stopped by. Greeted with a friendly welcome and the service was great. I was happy to see that had stuff to eat because that's always a plus. A good pastry and coffee bomb! I ordered their strawberry cream cheese croissant and their biscoff cookie butter iced latte. My gosh they were both very yummy. The best part is that they were not extremely busy and I received my items fast. Place is also big enough to stay and enjoy it there if you want to. read more

Best einspanners in OC! I've had very many einspanners and many of them have sweetened foam or soft espresso. This one is a true einspanner! Ambiance is very nice in the costa Mesa location, good seating options and lots of people working. read more
Usually go to the Long Black Coffee in the Fountain Valley, but wanted to check out their new location in Costa Mesa. It was in a small area near a gas station. Parking was okay but can be packed if the area becomes busy. The interior was small, cozy, and modern with a few seating (some small tables and a longer one). The staff was friendly and welcoming as I entered. Ordered my go to Ice Pistachio Latte. Which was as good as I recalled from the other location. Can taste a little bit of nuttiness from the drink. read more
Stopped by the Long Black Coffee location in Costa Mesa for the first time after having been to their Fountain Valley shop before. This location was noticeably less crowded, which made it a really pleasant place to grab coffee and relax. I ordered my go-to, the Madagascar vanilla latte served hot, and it was just as great as I remembered from the other location. Smooth, well balanced, and not overly sweet. The staff were very friendly and welcoming on the day I visited, and the interior has a modern, clean design that feels comfortable without being sterile. You wouldn't think that given that it was located in a gas station parking lot with an unassuming entrance. read more
It took me a couple wrong turns to find Long Black in an unassuming gas station parking lot. Was a little apprehensive at first but was quickly humbled and reminded of the life lesson: don't judge a book by its cover. Was told the iced einspanner ($6.50) is a hit so went with it. Requested a single shot as it was inching close to my 3p coffee cut off time. Also substituted almond milk for whole milk ($1). Gosh I really really loved my drink. Like a lot. The traditional einspanner with espresso, short milk pour, and cream top all in one sip was fantastic. I will absolutely be back for more, perhaps try their FV location. Thanks Long Black for delivering on an exceptional einspanner. You did the opposite of disappoint! read more
A new Long Black location, prime spot A small, but accessible, parking lot Near main roads and gas stations, if to fill your tank, you need A small space turned coffee shop, like many, indeed Five paired tables, 1 big table, a little bench seat Display case with the iconic croissant treat I ordered a (half sweet) oat milk matcha latte And I felt it was good to okay For the people who complain about ice quantity, it is filled high For those who like a touch of sweet, don't half modify It does have a distinct matcha taste, green a nice shade It doesn't top my current OC faves for a matcha well made But, it is nice to know it's there and I look forward to revisiting for a different drink order share Overall, grab a drink on your way And have a beautiful day. xo- Op Add on (repeat visits): Almond croissant: delicious Honey oat latte: good read more
Spent a couple of days at SCP recently and found this new coffee shop on Yelp, so we had to stop by. Ordered the following: Einspanner latte: excellent Biscoff cookie butter latte: excellent We were there early in the morning to enjoy our coffees in a quiet store. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be back the next time we're in town. read more

WOW!!!! I am such a big fan of banana lattes so when I saw that they had a monkey mocha latte (banana and chocolate), I was so excited! The banana flavor is from a housemade banana syrup!!! The monkey mocha (I ordered mine half sweet) was sooooo good. It was a perfect balance of banana and chocolate!!! I will definitely be getting that again next time. I tried some of my friend's pistachio cream latte and that was delicious too! I'm not normally a pistachio inclined person but it was yummy and I could drink the whole thing. I also tried a regular iced latte, and it was pretty good. But next time I go back, I will definitely be getting their monkey mocha again. The space inside is cute. I love that this coffee shop is literally right by the Arco. So random but so fun! read more

Excellent coffee and service. Was very crowded and they were efficient and as quick as possible. The coffees were excellent! read more
This location just opened for their soft opening recently so it is pretty bare. We ordered the banana latte (decaf) and the chai tea latte both iced. The banana latte was absolutely perfect but the chai latte was on the spicier side. It seemed like the peppercorn was on the stronger side and I wouldn't reccomend. Be patient with the workers! Seems like they only have one person working at a time right now read more

Banana Cloud Latte is where it's at! We live very close by and wanted to take our dog for a walk and instead of going to dreaded Strbx we went went to LBC. It is the shiz!! I got the Banana Cloud iced latte! It was a treat and I highly recommend this. I look forward to trying more! So glad they are here - service was fantastic. Ambiance was mellow. I loved how it wasn't chaotic like some of the other trendy coffee shops - this place is a hidden gem. read more

Nice staff, decent pastries and my coffee was delightful. Ordered the Orange bourbon and added cold foam, nice and thick not cheap and watery like a lot of shops. Super decadent with nice creamsicle flavor. Also got an almond croissant, filling was flavorful. Management needs to fix that stuck restroom door though read more
i usually go to their fountain valley location + occasionally to cortado in garden grove, but the drinks are always consistent regardless of the store! my go-to drink is the biscoff cookie butter latte - 5/5 with oat milk! no other places compare to long black for this in my opinion. seating is super limited at this location (maybe 6 seats at a big table with no nearby outlets and then some other seats scattered around). the wifi is pretty good though, so if you're able to snag a seat here, it's a fine place to study! parking was a bit limited (thur afternoon) and is only for 2 hours read more

I love long black! I've been going to the fountain valley location for a while and had no idea this one has been around for a few months now. The coffee is great, the baristas are kind, this location is kind of in an odd spot. Unless you stop to pump gas or know it's there, you'll probably miss it. I typically order their espainner but decided to try the biscoff latte and it was definitely tasty. I haven't tried their food but they have a few treats if you're hungry as well. read more

Very solid einspanners! Inside is cute and wasn't crowded. I saw 2 outlets from when I looked around the seating. I liked the einspanner latte more than the tiramisu but the tiramisu latte was pretty similar. The hazelnut cream in both of these drinks was delicious. read more
