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!

A highlight on the menu is definitely the banana coffee.

It was unique, indulgent, and absolutely delicious--a must-try for anyone who loves discovering new coffee flavors! If you're looking for something different from your usual coffee order, this place is definitely worth visiting. Great flavors, a memorable coffee experience, and a drink I would happily come back for. Highly recommend!

It's constantly clean so you don't have to worry about a mess. What I got from this cafe is the Caramel Tiramisu Espresso and it was the most delicious speciality drink I've ever had.

Really cute cafe with delicious strawberry matcha and a promise they can "Einspänner anything!"…read more Cafe The Scoop has been on my "to-try" list since we moved to Long Beach, and I'm so glad we finally made it over there. Judging by how busy the place is on weekends, it's obviously a local favorite and I can see why. It seems they put a lot of effort into the quality and presentation of their drinks. They have a fairly extensive drink menu with something for everyone, and also sell pastries, though I haven't had one yet. Definitely a coffee/tea shop worth a try if you're in the area and wanting a treat!

The banana flavor is from a sweetened house made banana syrup which has a good sweet banana flavor, but it's pretty sweet. Even when I asked for it to be less sweet. It's different than the Da Vien banana matcha which has a plop of the thick banana cream on top. The winner at this place is the banana pudding. Can't find too many places that make banana puddings but this one comes in a cute sized grab container, perfect serving for oneself. But by the time I get to my chiropractor at 10, they're already sold out! So get there early to grab this treat. Super creamy, fresh bananas, it's SO good!

I was a part of the early-bird crowd on a Saturday morning and was luckily able to snag a spot in…read morethe small lot attached to the building (5 regular spaces + 1 handicap). The lot is inconspicuous but totally fine to park in - pulling in/out is just a bit tight if it's full with bigger cars. I wasn't sure if I could park there until I read the manager's comments on Yelp, so maybe it would be beneficial to put up a sign outside? Just to inform/reassure customers. There's also some limited street parking in front. The inside is bright and minimalist. Not super unique, but it works. There's a nice variety of seating throughout, from benches with outlets, to regular tables and chairs, and barstools against the window. Music was a nice volume and it didn't get too loud even as the cafe slowly filled up with people chatting. The bathroom is on the right end of the shop. I sat by an outlet and was able to get a good chunk of work done for about 4 hours. I'm not sure if it's just because of where I was sitting, but I did start getting a bit chilly (maybe I was near a vent?). Overall, the environment as a whole is pretty conducive to working on a laptop. I got an iced Ube Latte (total $7.71) and I thought it was okay. It's really pretty and very purple, so I was expecting a much stronger nutty/coconut/vanilla taste. There was maybe a hint of ube, but overall it was more reminiscent of a regular latte. I am slightly disappointed, especially because pricing is on the higher end. I sat in front of where the drinks were being sent out, and noticed that each Ube Latte came out looking quite different (some looked extremely purple while others looked just tinted). Not sure if they use any specific measurements, or if the amount of jam really impacts the taste, but it was something that I noticed. Sadly, my drink wasn't very memorable. I was mainly just looking for a change in scenery to get some work done while in LB for the morning. For that purpose, this spot was great. However, my drink didn't amaze me, so it's not something I would come back for. The staff seemed to have a good handle on getting drinks out when there was a rush. Not bad by any means, just not outstanding. TikTok: @qtrinthejukebox Instagram: @qtrinthejukebox

V Cafe is my favorite when I am visiting the salon two doors down. The owner is amazing and she…read moremakes everything from scratch. She also delivers to the other storefronts (her neighbors). I was first introduced to the café when I wanted a drink. The butterfly lemonade is the perfect thirst quencher. The lemonade is freshly squeezed from the lemon in the refrigerator case. You see her grab the lemon and hand juice it. The butterfly tea is then freshly brewed and added at the top giving you a drink with blue on top and lemon color on the bottom. The magic is when you mix it. Try it! When I had more time, I tried the beet salad. Its made to order. Fresh everything, crisp salad, candied walnuts, feta sprinkled on top, and the perfect raspberry vinaigrette to finish it off. It comes with toasted bread that gives you just enough carbs to round out the salad. The mushroom melt is packed with mushrooms and I always ask for havarti as its my favorite. She is flexible when she is able to (ingredient availability or pre-prepped). But it is no small sandwich. I usually get the soup and sandwich. I have tried the tomato, mushroom, and lentil soups. All very filling and compliments the sandwich. Mushroom soup is seasonal so when you see it, try it. It is amazing. The impossible Caesar salad is made so fresh as if it is straight from the farm. The café also serves coffee items. Be sure you head over early though. It closes right when late lunch turns to early dinner or if she is out of main ingredients.

I ordered the cortado which was a decent drink and I thought I was going to get it in a dine in cup like the pictures but no. So onto to the sandwich I ordered which was the Mushroom Melt and it did deliver with cheese but it looked like they threw in a couple or so of mushrooms and called it a day. The service felt like I was a bother to them or her I should say. It rattles me when the person taking your order is fidgety and looks like she had better things to do. Maybe the college students that come don't mind but I definitely do. I'm really surprised they're still in business. And that's my take on this failed adventure, Peace out...

Thursday comedy night they host there (they aren't *normally* open as late as they were both times I was there, if anyone was wondering why I was *drinking* so much wine and beer while I was here - but my understanding is it seems they do always *have* wine and beer, anyway.) So as far as that goes, they have a couple wines, a red and a white, I'm not sure if they change, but as of when I was there, the white was pretty good, the red (a cab) was super good. They're also not cheap, at 12 bucks a glass, but I was there to support them for hosting great local comedy obviously. Their beer is also local and craft - they also only have a couple, and one's always a pilsner (I've never liked pilsners personally), but the other, when I was there, was a great local lager (also a lot cheaper, at $6.50.) If you're there at a more normal time for more normal coffee shop type products, though they are also great. The first time I was there, I didn't have any coffee drinks, but the second time, I felt like I could use the caffeine, tried their tiramisu latte, which I absolutely recommend. I also had a chocolate croissant with it, which I can also totally recommend. Maybe not as good as the best chocolate croissant I've ever had, but that was also in France. It's a lot cheaper than flying to France.

I also tried one of their croissant sandwiches and it was a lot so I ended up splitting it with another person. This location is the one right behind Walgreens. They have a very, very small parking lot off to the side of the building and you can only use the right side because the left parking spaces is reserved for the other building. You're better off finding street parking.

After browsing a couple pics on Yelp, I decided to try their chai latte. (Since moving to Long Beach from San Diego two years ago, I've been DYING for a creamy cup of chai. Everywhere I'd tried so far was just a spicy cup of hot tea -- not creamy or very sweet at all. I had honestly given up looking but something about Wolf's made me try theirs.) I'm SO glad I did! I've FINALLY found my perfect cup of creamy chai latte in Long Beach! I don't live super close, but you bet I'll be making the 10-15 minute drive to get my chai latte fix every so often. Thank you Wolf's Brew!! Oh, and the shop itself was cute and clean, and the service was courteous and prompt. There are a few tables outside to sit and enjoy your drink.

It included bacon, egg, cheese, and brown beans and comes with a side of salsa. I forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry, and I was still hungry after. It seems as though it's a premade burrito and they just heat it up. I would say skip the burrito just get the coffee. 8.2/10
