Their menu can be a little convoluted, and the drinks are over the top, but that's also part of the fun--there are a ton of interesting coffee combinations to explore.

If you like your coffee with a little personality (or a LOT of it), Rad is worth checking out.

Although the line may look long, it moves quickly! The team is efficient and keeps things flowing, and the coffee consistently hits the spot. One time, I tipped them via the drive through and it seemed they were not expecting it which made me sad because they deserve it, they work hard in the shop. This is definitely a reliable stop when I'm craving a good cup without having to leave my car.

I need to not cheat on my PCH Tierra Mia…read more I never go anywhere else except the PCH one. Guess what I did? Visit the one on Carson st. Horrible idea. Short drive through, extends onto Carson st. The wait time was maybe 30 minutes. They were slammed for sure. I ordered my usual horchata matcha. First sip. Milk. Shake, shake, shake. Another sip. Milk with a taste of matcha. It was NOT my horchata matcha that I always get. I was extremely saddened by this. I threw away the drink. I'm going to stick to my pch girl from now on. If I was pregnant I would be throwing the biggest fit. I still did, but imagine. Ugh my craving was not satisfied. If you want to sit inside good luck, that parking lot has like 4 spots and I'm sure the employees use them. Otherwise street parking will be your only option. They have an updated menu with flan & banana items at the time I went 05/22/26. It's attached in my photos to view.

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.

Excellent cold brew! That's my jam…read more Great place to pop up your laptop and work! Plenty of seating and outlets. Staff were friendly and overall my experience was great. 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!

It literally was a tres leche cake but smaller. It does fall apart quite easily so be careful while eating it. I appreciate that you could warm up the pastry. The latte was delicious. I'm the type that doesn't like the taste of coffee itself and prefer my lattes to be sweet. This matched exactly that. Cannot wait to come back again.

Can never go wrong with the horchata frappe 10/10 Their tres leche muffin is another must try. They definitely have an excellent selection to choose from. The workers always so friendly and great service. They have a good amount of inside sitting area, they have restrooms, and drive thru. Definitely a recommended spot to try.

Ehhh, very overrated boba shop, imo. Picked up on this place due to some social media posts I got…read moreshown by friends, but the jelly they show on top of the drinks is actually just a topping that ends up in the drink. It's...ok? I've tried a few of their drinks, but I don't find the tea tasting special at all. The jelly are fine, but also nothing particularly stand out. My first visit I waited like 20mins near closing, which is waaaay better than the hour it was beforehand. And on a recent visit there was essentially no wait. I'm not sure I'd come back as I have other boba shops I much prefer nearby me.

Hechalou ceased to exist at this location. I suspect that owners broke away from the franchise and…read morestarted their own boba business at the same location. They changed the name subtle enough to avoid a lawsuit, but the changes in the menu and the quality of the drinks are far more drastic, and it's not for the better. Gone are the traditional teas and sesame jelly that made Hechalou so famous. These options are replaced by cheap imitations of Starbucks' frothy drinks that sound good on paper but taste like iced piss with sugar. The drinks are excessively sweet, a mortal sin by Asian standard, and they have a generic taste that might as well have one item on the entire menu. Alas, to get a sip of the old favorites, now I have to drive across town instead of stop by after work. I am glad that I got my many trips here before the old guards died, and it's probably better for my hemoglobin A1c in the long run.

I tried their lemon bar and it was so buttery and flaky that crust and the lemon was so tangy and tart and sweet. My chai latte was also so creamy and sweet and hot. I loved it. I love those spices in it. Service was very friendly and fast it seem to be a favor with locals as it was very busy and mostly inside the ambience is very calm and relaxed. They don't drown you and loud music. Everything is very quiet and peaceful. It's also very close to the beach so you can take a drink and bite to go and eat it as you watch the ocean waves roll in!! Thank you to my cousin Brenda for bringing me here. I can't wait to go back~~~

If you are looking for an indoor cafe you might want to look elsewhere though... they have a BEAUTIFUL inside the only tables seem to be monopolized by people with laptops and don't care to budge even with no signs of products from the establishment on the tables anymore... I find that to be rude on the guests end tbh. It's wild to think this place doesn't even have WiFi as an offering to avoid that (probably) but people bring in their WiFi anyways. I had a maple coffee iced and it was delicious!! Overall very cool atmosphere on the outside and inside. Only 6 people are allowed inside at all times to avoid going over their max occupancy so be sure to wait outside until it's your time to order. They only have street parking as well for those who like to know about parking. Overall I will be back especially to try to get a cinnamon roll since they were out at the time I visited and tbh that's the photo that brought me in! I hope this time I am able to sit inside.

We ordered the Monster Latte and the passion fruit milk tea with golden boba, and both drinks were delicious. The Monster Latte was refreshing for a hot day, and the passion fruit milk tea had a nice balance of sweetness and tea flavor. The golden boba also had a great texture. What can I say--just really solid boba when you need a cold drink to cool down.

Hmm, going over the other one star reviews, I can notice a common theme…read more Really weird experience here. First it's 7:30pm, planned on ordering a matcha and the person at the register informed me that there was "No coffee or tea after 4pm" so I choose to order a non alcoholic beverage and maybe something to eat and cashier or owner, whoever this person was tells me if I plan to work because it becomes a "laptop free zone" after 4pm. Odd behavior to tell someone what they can and can't do at an establishment considering it's called a coffee AND wine bar. Maybe this is something to advertise on your yelp and website but a "laptop free zone" after 4pm is pretty ridiculous for potential customers who were just looking to eat and work. I almost feel like he just told me that because I was going to order a salad and a non alcoholic beverage and wasn't planning on ordering much. As the other 1 star reviews mention "pretentious behavior" so it's either the cashier or whoever it was is being pretentious as others mentioned or RACIST... Kinda odd to dictate what I do on my own accord while I'm a patron at your establishment. If I ordered food and a drink but chose to open my laptop, are you going to ask me to leave? Doesn't really seem customer centric. Considering that I've worked on my laptop at dine-in restaurants, it's pretty odd behavior to display. Also, considering that this is not a club, and there's no live music, and there were only 3 people sitting in there, I think I would have been fine to sit there quietly in a corner with my laptop. 1 star for the experience and weird behavior. Like I said it's either pretentiousness or racism but weird behavior nonetheless.
