    What a "rad" place! Hah. This place is such a vibe, love!! So many unique drinks to choose from which is pretty awesome. They have pinball machines which is always fun to see and they had fun merch and snacks. The worker was very nice and helpful when we couldn't decide what to order. I really wanted to try their Cinnamon Toast but it didn't have caffeine in it, I could've added but I wanted to try something as is, no modifications. My bf ended up ordering the Cinnamon Toast since he doesn't drink coffee and that way I could try it. I liked it! But definitely a "dessert" type drink. I got their Salty Caramel iced coffee which was just okay. It could've probably used an extra shot but flavor was good. I would love to come back and try their other drinks! IG: @ammysalamii

    Drive from Pasadena for their horchata. It's just different enough. Service has always been good.

    Tried a vegan smores bar. Good but very sweet. Also ordered a cinnamon frapp decaf. I liked that they have decaf options. The whip cream was dark purple which I guess looks cool but not a fan of color additives and it stains your lips/tongue. It was good but very sweet. I went in originally to do some work on my laptop and after I ordered I realized there are no tables in the place at all. Only a pick up and go place. I asked if I could get a refund before he made my drink but the worker said they can't give refunds without the owner there. So I spent 12 bucks and went to another coffee shop lol. My bad for not noticing and being in a rush but also there should be a refund system that works.

    Rating: for customer service I needed an afternoon pick me up and found myself in the Long Beach area, so I decided to give Rad Coffee a try. Unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing, primarily due to the customer service. As it was our first time there, we were a little indecisive about our orders. I approached the counter and asked the worker for recommendations, mentioning that I don't like sweet drinks. Instead of being helpful, he responded in a rude manner, essentially asking, "Well, what do you like? With an attitude " and started listing off options coffee, tea, and lemonade without giving any real suggestions. He even rolled his eyes at me, which felt unprofessional and dismissive. When I finally told him I like coffee that's not sweet, he then asked quickly iced coffee or a latte? I felt rushed throughout the interaction, and the head bobbing didn't help either. The name on my cup said it was Issac, but honestly, he didn't help make our first visit enjoyable. Now, onto the taste. I went with the Ripper, but to my disappointment, it tasted watered down and had an artificial flavor. Overall, I was really hoping for a better experience at Rad Coffee, but the service and the drink did not meet my expectations.

    I have never been so appalled by coffee before. This picture is my full cinnamon toast crunch drink going straight into the trash. My boyfriend got the ripper, which his was 10000x worse in flavor than mine. We both were absolutely disgusted by what we got and it's truly so sad to say that! We did not expect that based on everyone else's review of this place. I also did NOT get any cereal on top of my blended drink and there was a couple right before us who got a blended drink and got cereal on top of theirs, so i'm not sure why my drink didn't come with it. Overall, a VERY disappointing experience. I won't be back and I do not recommend this place unfortunately.

    Rad coffee has so much potential! I've had the Spanish latte and it's delicious but you have to order it with 25% sweetness. Even the worker suggested it! I'm glad she did! In my last visit, I noticed that their outside patio is closed and there is no other seating area. This place has so much potential for customers, but without anywhere to sit and eat, it's easier to go down the street and find a café where you can chill. I'll give them kudos for their branding as well. Their logo and colors are pretty cool. I really want this cafe to thrive. Hopefully they open up the back patio, with some nice lighting and board games for the customers.

    They were all ok. But not strong for me even if I had already put two extra shops of espresso. Their service is good. They greet you and explain all the drinks to you. Love the vibes tho. Horror theme good.

    Rad coffee is a unique place with a selection of drinks. I tried cookies and scream, the staff who took my order recommended to add a shot of espresso as the drink itself does not contain caffeine and it was the best decision ever! The place has a selection of merch including shirts, stickers, and pins. Location does not have tables or chairs to hang out at, it's more of a hang out, pick up and go

    They have everything from coffee, expresso, iced tea and cappuccino. Service is always a delight. Ambiance is definitely rad! They got the whole goth slash emo but make it cutsey vibe here

    Was looking for coffee pre heading to Dtla, and landed on rad coffee. Super cute place with unique cereal centric options, which was fun. Barista walked us through options, where I like a sweeter more flavorful coffee and my friend was more into strong vs sweet. I landed on the cinnamon toast option and my friend got a cold brew, and they were good. A tad sweet, even for me, but this spot is super unique, has good quality beans, and very fun vibes and flavor options.

    Ordered the Ripper and it literally tastes like watered down coffee from an old Keurig machine

    Long Beach Rad Coffee has officially went down the drain. We had been coming for years and loved it before but as of today, we're done coming here. The appearance has slowly but SURELY gone down hill with the patio area never reopening to enjoy your coffee there as well as the "out of service" bathrooms. It's unkept, the floors are always dirty, and the drinks have also fallen off from taste. We had taken a break and returned since we saw they finally had new cups but it's really just not worth it anymore. So disappointed.

    spanish latte

    Really love the vibe and concept of this place! The interior is super nicely decorated and colorful. I got the spanish latte and the workers made it really quickly. The coffee was nice and strong while still showcasing all the flavors, with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. It kept me awake for the rest of the day at work and also tasted amazing! Will definitely be back!

    10/10 Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal Chiller - this is my go to drink here. Omg this is literally my favorite place in the world to get speciality frappe's. Also their whipped cream is made in house from scratch! 7/10 Service- The girl who took our order looked like she hated her life. Service could be better. Cost - $6.25 in total. Wow this is so freaking greatly priced. Doesn't get better than this.

    What if I have my dog with me?

    Not sure but ordering is pretty fast I have never experienced long lines. Maybe your dog can wait in the car 5min.

    Is it a good place to do school work or study?

    If you like loud punk music then yes, if not it's a big no.

    Is there decaf?

    Yes! Decaf Espresso. Also, any of the blends can be made with decaf and or coffee free.

Just yesterday, while taking my kiddo for a drive, I realized there's a spot nearby where I now live! I'm obsessed with their horchata frappe--has it gotten even better over the past 20 years? I swear it has. Their tres leches muffin is also absolutely delicious and worth grabbing if they have it--but go early because they tend to sell out by the end of the day, proof of just how good it is. The drive-thru line can get pretty long, but it moves pretty quickly. You can also park and walk inside; the place is spotless and cozy. I could see myself sitting there, catching up on some work while enjoying my coffee. Tierra Mia is a hidden gem--if you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out and definitely should!

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 place sits right next to the bowling alley and there is actually No big sign for it. Thankfully when we went there was no line either which was great since everyone talks about how busy it gets in there. There was a kiosk or you can order with the employee. She told us they were known for their jelly's so I made sure I tried it. I ordered a black milk tea with matcha jelly And hubs ordered his with almond pudding. Thankfully I could adjust sweetness and milk. I thought mine was good. It's not bad but I knew it wasn't something I would crave. Hubs did not like his as much as I did.

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.

There was so much construction going on and parking was terrible but I managed to find some in the residential area. There is outdoor seating and very limited indoor seating. The place itself is super cute and I really want to go back already. I love their decor. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the baristas. The gentleman that helped us at the cashier was extremely friendly, his smile, his attitude and mannerisms were beyond friendly and professional. I have to give him his kudos, because a lot of businesses don't have employees like this anymore. We were not ready, so we let someone go ahead of us. There was so much to order, but I decided to just get two drinks and the jalapeño cheese croissant. I have to say the jalapeño cheese croissant is my favorite. The bread was so warm, flaky, and that cheese and jalapeño were just enough. They did not skimp out on this. Our drinks were SOOOO GREAT! I got the honey vanilla oat latte with the banana cold foam. Yes the cashier guy helped me and I absolutely love all his suggestions. He also suggested the cheddar jalapeño croissant. My daughter got a chai tea latte and we LOVED our drinks. I must come back very soon. I regret not buying some of the treats like the rose cookies and fruity pebble rice crispies that I saw on display. While we were waiting for our drinks outside, the cashier came out to bring us our croissant. I also noticed the trolley outside, which I read serves chili in a bowl on certain days. All around, this place gets five stars + and I can't wait to be back!

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 plowing 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. I've worked at restaurants before. Considering this is not a club, 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 either pretentious or racist but weird behavior nonetheless.
