    Two Americans and one vanilla latte.

    Great coffee, good prices, and vibrant coffee shop. Very friendly staff and owners. It's cool to see the transition this place has gone through. Very clean and cool common space. When I'm in the area I make a point of stopping here for some good coffee.

    Recently got introduced to Nowadays Coffee thanks to a good friend. We were with our fur babies for a morning walk event at Rosie's Dog Beach and of course had to make a pit stop for matcha! Nowadays Coffee is situated on Main St and PCH within the namesake plaza. There's decent parking in said plaza, but street parking is also available. They had some food options available too. We both went with the Matcha Yuzu Cream Top and absolutely loved it. Perfect drink after a morning beach walk. I really hope they bring this back on the menu for next summer. Such a cool community cafe. Support local!

    Coffee was great! They have some special drinks that are pretty cool. Chill and open space. Great service, super friendly.

    I've been here a few times now and it's been a good experience every time! Baristas are super nice and the coffee is delicious!

    New branding.

    Was a bit confused at first - hadn't been here for a while. Nowadays Coffee is the new brand name for the former Humblemakers Coffee. Same great drinks, friendly service and large seating areas - inside downstairs and outdoor patio upstairs. Easy parking off alley behind the location. Right on the corner of PCH and Main - not a lot of identifying graphics outside, but it's there and worth a stop.

I went with the recommendation of another yelper, Cindy O, and got their signature "fifth avenue bagel", which was a open-faced lox bagel sandwich with cream cheese, capers, and thinly sliced onion on a salt bagel. The sandwich isn't trendy like the insta-famous bagel spots. I respect that this is made to maximize flavor, rather than for maximizing social media clicks. All of the flavor components are tucked under the cover of a generous portion of lox. At the trendy bagel spots, all of the ingredients top the lox; however, at those places, the ingredients rain off the sandwich when you take your first bite. The salt bagel is a nice touch on this open-faced sandwich because it seasons each bite liberally. The bagel is freshly toasted and warm, which contrasts with the cold toppings. There is a jolt of mild lemony flavor, you get creaminess from the cream cheese, and you get a really nice amount of lox. I did ask for extra onions, which are thinly sliced with a mandolin. The only thing that could have made it better is if they added something herby like dill. Overall, I really like that I can get a good lox bagel here and I'll be back.

    First time here!…read more Both my friend and I selected this location randomly to enjoy a breakfast bagel. What should've been a normal transaction turned into a stellar experience, all thanks to Misty.

    Stopped in for the official grand opening of the DTLB Cassidy's Corner (named after owner's oldest…read moredaughter) bagel shoppe on 6/6/26. Found friendly employees, really loud music from a DJ, and a diverse crowd enjoying themselves. This is the 4th Cassidy's location in Long Beach, and the ninth one overall (all of them in SoCal, with the original and one other in Lakewood). The cafe is located on the corner of 7th and Pine in downtown; my wife and I have passed by this storefront many times and have seen the 'opening soon' signs for a long time. This area is pretty devoid of retail (even though there are many large apartment complexes nearby), so hoping that this is a start of others to come. It's a pretty simple set-up with a few 2 person tables inside and some bigger tables outside facing Pine. Definitely meant for the majority of customers to enjoy their bagels and coffee to-go. For now, the menu is very simple as well, all around their freshly made bagels and coffee. One places and pays for their order, and are then given a pager. It went off after about 5 minutes. Got a Cassidy's Club ($14) on a sesame bagel, and it was decent with very fresh ingredients (good bacon, deli turkey, fresh romaine, and decent avocado), but in confirmed my preference of a bagel (even toasted) not being my first choice as a sandwich bun. Also got a very large Asiago bagel ($3), untoasted, uncut. There was a cool bagel peg board displayed, showing the variety of bagels offered (at one time or another): 13 columns by 7 rows...that's a lot of flavors.

    Picture this: You're getting on a cruise ship in 4 hours, but the hotel you're staying at doesn't…read morehave a breakfast buffet. Besides, for the next (insert the duration of your cruise here) days you'll be eating at the buffet a least once a day. No need to start Buffeting it up before you step foot on the Lido deck. That's what brought us to 5th Ave Bagelry. Located less than 1/2 mile from our hotel, it was an easy walk down the surprisingly un-busy streets of Long Beach, CA at 9:00 on a Thursday morning. 5th Ave Bagelry has A LOT of varieties of bagels. To put a number to it, about 25 different varieties of bagels, all made fresh on site daily. Add to that, 8 different flavours of cream cheese and you've got nearly endless bagel-and-cream-cheese options. To be fair, you're not limited to bagel & cream cheese. They also offer breakfast bagel sandwiches and non-breakfast bagel sandwiches and a few specialty items. Even though it was 9:00 in the morning I was tempted to try a pizza bagel but I resisted. The siren song of a jalapeño bagel with jalapeño cream cheese wins out every time. (This is a proven statistic. Just ask me.) They also offer an endless variety of coffees in just about every possible fashion (latte, espresso, iced, iced blended). Smoothies, juices, and soft drinks round out a very impressive selection of offerings. The staff at 5th Ave Bagelry appeared to be very focused. While they weren't swamped when we visited, they did have a steady influx of customers. It's an order-at-the-counter-and-we'll-call-your-number-when-it's-ready arrangement which seems to work well for them. All food is delivered in a paper bag. Our food delivery was about 10 minutes and everything was hot and accurate. My iced vanilla latte was exactly the go-juice I needed to jump start embarkation day. My jalapeño bagel with jalapeño cream cheese? Chef's kiss. I love jalapeño bagels that present a little spicy heat. The jalapeño cream cheese managed to round out my "Jim loves spicy food for breakfast" life choices. During our roughly 1/2 hour there I didn't see anyone come out from behind the counter to tidy up the dining room, which was needed. I'm assuming they had a pretty intense breakfast rush and just hadn't fully recovered yet, as one of the two trash bins was full. In a perfect world I'd be able to visit enough to try all of the bagels, but home isn't in Long Beach.

    Came to pine Ave for breakfast and saw this place and from all the signs outside decided to give it…read morea try. I thought it was going to be pricy but no! It's so well priced. We wanted to try the simpler stuff on the menu. We got the just egg and sausage in a plain bagel and just egg and cheese and sausage on a Jalapeño bagel. I can't remember the last time we paid around $20 for a breakfast meal for two. They were both tasty but needed salt hot sauce and ketchup to be added. The best part is they have all this out for you to grab. Once we added it, it was so good. The portion size for the price is incredible. No way did I think I would pay 6.99 for a big bagel, a large piece of egg and 2 pieces of sausage. It was such a great price. Now I am so excited to come and try others. But the prices do jump nearly double, but I think it will be worth it. Check out the menu pics I added to see the prices. It's hard to hear inside. We sat inside to eat since it was very clean and well maintained. They brought us our bagels but I think that was because we forgot to get up from being called. Again it was hard to hear but when the food came out it was all worth it! The jalapeño bagel did not shine as much. It tasted like a plain bagel with no spice even from the bits of jalapeños. This made me wonder if their sweet bagels are different. They recommend the Asiago bagel so maybe I'll try that for the next savory option. Honestly I don't know when they make the bagels but we came around 11am, try coming earlier and maybe the bagels will be fresher. By noon the line picked up, but it never got as busy as other stores around. I'm excited to come back and try the omelet sandwiches and other bagels!

Most of the staff were friendly, but one employee who appeared to be the manager was surprisingly dismissive. My husband asked if they had liquid sugar for his iced coffee. Instead of answering the question, the employee pointed to a condiment station with granulated sugar and said, "Sugar is over there." My husband politely clarified that he was looking for liquid sugar since granulated sugar doesn't dissolve well in cold coffee. The employee simply pointed to the same station again and repeated, "Sugar is over there." If they don't offer liquid sugar, that's completely fine, a simple "Sorry, we don't carry it" would have answered the question. Instead, the interaction came across as unnecessarily rude and unhelpful. Between the mediocre food and coffee and that experience, there wasn't much that would make us choose to return.
