Been wanting to stop by Qargo in DTLB for a while since my drive to work few years ago I saw the coming soon sign. But, it took a long time and since it's a really far trek from the WTC to here, and I was usually too lazy to stop by on the way to work by car in the morning, long story short, finally last week was when my colleagues and I stopped by. I have been back again so in total twice. I have been to Qargo in Costa Mesa so I know what to expect. They serve good (Lavazza) coffee and their matcha is pretty good. Their sizing here is great. Great because they literally have jumbo sizes. Matcha is decent here. Hard to get good matcha in the walking distance in DT... so this and rose park I think are my go-to for good quality matcha. Their pastries are good too, especially when warmed. Lots of seatings inside, not sure about parking since we did not come by car.. But it's DT so, you know what to expect.
It is a nice modern style coffee shop on a very busy corner in Long Beach. Great music playing and staff that is friendly and nice when you enter it is a nice open concept and great respect to art and architecture. The food is very nice and fresh. The espresso and specialty drinks are very refreshing matcha is normally not sweetened but it can be just make sure you get the correct amount for preference. It could have been mixed a bit better before serving to avoid lumps . The toasted foods were very good in flavor and fulfilling as well. Overall nice place with friendly staff will be coming back 4.5/5
Good coffee! Came here while heading to Eggbred for food. I parked along ocean blvd, street parking. Parking might be difficult to find. I ordered the iced mocha ($6.25) and coffee eclair ($5.45). I thought it was pretty good, nice local coffee shop. They have lots of pastries but they're a bit pricey. Interior has nice modern wooden look. The couch was hard and doesn't have much cushion. I would like to see a trash can by the door along Ocean Blvd. I had to walk to the other side of the coffee shop to throw my straw wrapper. Would definitely come back.
I will start this review by making the obvious comparison: this place feels like a fancy Italian Starbucks. When I say fancy, think more comfortable living room, of a middle-class person, please do not think fancy like Pavarotti's living room which I assume has a baby grand and couches made with Italian leather, the same kind use for a Lambo. This place just gives a crumb of vibes of the Amalfi coast gone business casual, which is enough because other chain coffee houses do not help one travel to the boot shape country of Europe. I entered to grab a coffee at a nearby business, where I was getting a breakfast sandwich, the joint did not have coffee that was special, just black to be enhanced with Splenda and half-half, and I get that enough on normal weekdays. I was helped by Isabella, a sweet person, who was kind enough to invite me back again, after she learned that it was my first time. This gesture seems small but in reality it is hospitality in a phrase, which reminds me of a Japanese proverb: A kind word can warm three winter months. I got a regular latte, and Isabella listed the various syrups available. She went down the line deep, I think I remember that are common like vanilla and caramel and others that seemed more original to a coffee chain, like pistachio, and others felt tropical like mango. The coffee distinguished itself enough to be remembered as delicious but not well enough for me to know that I had gulped pistachio instead of slurped it, as when I have pistachio ice cream, or munched as I have when I have pistachio nuts, straight out of the shell. But still it was grand coffee, again better than one can get at other similar coffee houses, but, truth be told, I have had coffee from other chains that was steadfast in its roasted glory, which I will not name out of respect for this exxperience, but, the extra x in the word experience is a hint. :-) What was wonderful about this house, again, was the elevated comfort that this place offered. The wood wave wall, which I and other Yelpers have captured, felt more artistic than a design choice. I do not want to over hype this place, but I feel like I have seen something similar- to these wood waves- at an LA museum, perhaps the Broad, or the Moca. And atop these waves was the phrase- empowering the creator. I never wanted to write a screenplay or the next summer beach book but the message made me feel like this place can help me do just that--- someone give me a brush and a color palette I think I want to paint sunflowers on a vase! The couches seemed plump and they made me want to be a cat--- a feline with the famed ability to stretch and rest, without worry or woe in its mice-filled head. The selections of baked goods, seemed sophisticated. For example, they offered French Macarons, Dulce de Leche Cheesecake, Tiramsu, Chocolate Ganache Cake and other items that all seemed special, and like a treat that elevates a typical day to one that I can claim to be special. I can imagine, that when I was younger, less informed, more broke, more open to wonder, I would have plastered my face into the display and spend minutes trying two decide the two pastries that will allow myself to feel Parisian and decadent. This place had a lot of small touches that were stylistic choices to make this place a stroll for the eyes, which is great because it gives one something to do as they wait for their food. I completely forgotten that Reese Whitherspoon had a book club, but this place spotlighted one of her recent pics--- I accidentally deleted the book, but the place reminded me that not only Oprah or Rory had books to recommend to the caffeinated masses. I also liked the gray-green pumpkin. Another touch to remind us all that this place was fresh in its take on what a coffee house should be, and that take was fancy can be accessible to the average creator! of art, in its many forms.
Julia (the manager) caught that my custom iced latte order was basically a white mocha & rang it up that way since it costs less! Perfect drink, ocean view across the street, great service. My new regular spot!
A palatial coffee haven. Ceilings within a sniff of the clouds themselves. Palatable decor aesthetic devoid of painful puns, godawful shiplap, or calculated kitsch. There are so many places to sit here. I almost felt rude only having the one set of glutes to park. Seating problems haunt coffee shops, but not Qargo. They understand chairs here. The staff is absolutely on their coffee game. Julia made a point to ask me what type of milk I wanted in my mocha for health reasons, etc. She conducted herself like a legitimate bean roasting queen. I do not know what that last sentence means, but she makes a point to do her job well. I think that is why so many busy professionals drop by this venue to have coffee & read email. Oh yes, the mocha tasted like milk & coffee & chocolate mixed together.
Never actually got the $7.40 drink i ordered. Firstly, no vegan brekky options? NONE? no oatmeal? no fruit bowl? its 2025 and it's the easiest thing in the world to provide at last one vegan-friendly option when you have 12 regular options, not counting the pastries. they also upcharged me for oatmilk without disclosing the upcharge verbally or on their menu. I only realized it because I asked for a receipt after noticing the total was higher than expected. also, let it be known that i ordered at 9:48, it's currently 10:03 and i don't have my drink yet. I unfortunately need to head out to see my partner cross the marathon finish line, it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to make ya girl a smoothie. literally could not have been a worse experience :(
Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and--most importantly--excellent coffee. Their cold brew is on another level and easily outshines other coffee shops. Highly recommend.
One of my fave LBC coffee shops. Great location, friendly service literally always every time. they recently made me the perfect chai latte I've never had a better one and I've been drinking them for 20 years, it was the perfect amount of spice & sweet.
Food is amazing , service is great as well, and the whole vibe is also A1. Not to mention Julia and her amazing customer service..

Qargo Coffee exceeded expectations. When I accidentally ordered a hot matcha instead of iced (didn't specify), the barista didn't bat an eye. She cheerfully remade it iced right away. I added Ube foam to the matcha and it was superb. No dyes added. While sitting outside enjoying the patio, Sam came out to ask if our husky wanted a pup cup, returning with an adorable creation topped with a treat bone. That level of hospitality is rare and genuinely made our day. Pro tip: they are cash and Zelle only (no credit cards accepted). Big shoutout to Sam for making us feel welcome! read more
Qargo has a really nice interior with plenty of seating. The decor is really cute too! Loved the LB theme. I ordered a vanilla soy matcha latte and it was really good. Not too sweet and the matcha flavor was strong. I also like trying the something and nothing sodas they have in the cold beverage section too. Solid spot if you need a matcha fix in the LB area. read more

I walked here one weekday afternoon after visiting a friend who lives a couple blocks away. If you don't live or work nearby or aren't enjoying the beach across the street...good luck finding parking; it looks to be near impossible. The interior is modern and visually stimulating. There's a good amount of seating inside and a small patio outside. I purchased an iced vanilla latte and a warmed chocolate croissant. They offer several boba teas, one of which my friend wanted, but was told they were out of boba! So she ended up getting a plain iced tea which she didn't care for. We sat out on the patio to chat over our drinks. The vanilla latte was good; above average but nothing spectacular. The croissant was small but great; fresh with plenty of chocolate inside. Better than Starbucks. But honestly most places are. read more

I love the cafe vibes especially the unique walls. Plenty of seating but it's freezing in here. do like the throwback 2010s music they're playing and it's not too loud where you can take phone calls. The WiFi password incorrect, it's a lowercase w, and incorrect store hours. It closes at 6 pm not 7 pm. I hope they correct that on yelp, google maps, and maps. The girl with short hair was super sweet. They made my coffee in a quick amount of time. They opened the door for the bathroom for me, which is coded. I got the Lavazza Coffee with oat milk for $4.11 which is fairly cheap. The coffee was water down. It just taste like regular coffee you make at home. It's not good as Starbucks but better than dunkin donut but not as good as a mom and pop coffee shop. read more

Came in on a Friday around 1pm, it was my first time here so I was excited about trying this place I always see it on my way to work. I was disappointed in the service. The barista was so unhelpful, I asked about the sandwiches and his response was I don't know. If you work there, you should know about the things you serve. I then ask about what kind of sweetener they use for the Matcha latte and he just pointed at the list as if I was supposed to know already or it was something that was so obvious, it was pretty rude. I thought he was just having a bad day. As I'm waiting for my order I notice he was laughing a smiling with his co worker. It wasn't a good look. The place is so beautiful. It was just a disappointment that, that was my first experience there. read more

QARGA COFFEE in Long Beach provided a fantastic temporary working space while my little one was at a camp nearby. There are free limited time street parking in the nearby streets. The space is large, airy, spacious, relaxed, clean, quiet and provided plenty of of power outlets. WIFI is strong. Food selection was great with coffee. Speaking of coffee, they use strong Italian Lavazza coffee. read more
I ordered ahead for a Lotus energy strawberries and cream flavor, no ice, less sweet, and a chocolate chunk scone, not toasted, which was ready quickly. I wanted to try the Lotus since I hadn't seen this for sale at other stores before. The Lotus was very sweet even at "less sweet" level so I'm not sure if it's just because the drink itself comes with a baseline level of sugar. It has a sharp taste likely due to carbonation so you'll probably enjoy this if you like soda or highly sweetened sparkling water. The chocolate chunk scone was pretty good, I heated it up when I got home and it had a good amount of chocolate. I felt it was reasonable price for a baked good. read more

Hi Marissa,…
A new modern, and spacious coffee shop located in downtown Long Beach. I would always drive by this spot on the way to the gym, so I'm glad my colleague recommended we co-work here. There are plenty of tables and they also have a comfy-looking patio which seems like a vibe! I'm not a big chai drinker, but I somehow woke up and was feeling it! I ordered an iced chai latte with oat, and it was super smooth and easy to drink. It's on the sweet side but hit the spot. On the side, I ordered a sausage cheese croissant that was pretty tasty. I definitely would come back; the only issue is that it's so hard finding parking in this area. read more
We ordered through the app inside. There was an option to put cold foam on hot drinks so my fiancé and I added it. Thinking nothing of it. But as soon as we added it the guy at the registered started talking to his coworkers saying that's stupid people add cold foam to hot drinks and I don't know why people keeping adding that. I think it's ridiculous that people keep doing that. And a few other things after that. Im not sure if that was his way to inform his coworker. Or if it was just to rant. But we were sitting in front of him. I didn't think they knew it was us. Being informed would of been nice. The way he was saying it though came off rude and condescending, made us feel less welcomed. It's very rare for me to say something about a place but this was one of those times. On top of that a couple of people who came after us and ordered at the register got there orders first. We waited about 20 mins for our drinks? While we were waiting I went up to him. To ask about our drinks and he told me hasn't been called yet. And I asked him no cold foam right? He and his other coworkers looked at me like they knew what I was talking about. Instead of being extremely upset and trying to yell or anything I just informed him we didn't know and that it's an option on the app. Was a bit thrown off by our experience and I don't think we'll be back. Plus it's street parking and hard to find parking. Only I will say is the insides is different. Coffee itself was ok at best. read more
Loving the spacious and contemporary Scandinavian interior of this charming cafe. The wavy wooden walls and shelves, elegantly showcasing Lavazza coffee beans and merchandise, create a captivating modern display. The cafe also presents a delightful assortment of iced beverages and pastries. The coffee shop offers several small tables and seats for customers to work with their comptuers. What I ordered: ICED AMERICANO - The price was similar to the Bucks. The Lavazza beans, known for their milder profile, offered a beautifully smooth and balanced taste that I enjoyed. A chilled caffeinated drink was what I needed during a sunny afternoon. read more

Does this place have outlets for computers and a bathroom?
There are outlets but i think they dont have many. I was able to charge my laptop by finding an outlet near one of the walls. Idk about the bathroom...
