    Cinnamon frappe
    Ali I.

    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.

    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 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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    spanish latte
    Angeline N.

    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!

    spanish latte
    Karen N.

    i work pretty close to this place, and i can't believe i never tried it out because the coffee is really good! i ordered a spanish latte for my coworker and me, and we both really liked our drinks. the coffee was strong but not too strong where it'd give me tachycardia, and the flavor overall was not too sweet. all of the drinks sounded pretty good, so i would love to try the others when i stop by again! the store wasn't so busy for a monday afternoon, and service was really quick! the store itself doesn't have any seating and is more for grab and go. also, there is a dedicated parking lot right outside the shop, so always a bonus!

    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.

    Great customer service, best matcha in Long Beach. The coffee shop is a vibe. There's cool cookies and stickers to buy.

    I normally get my coffee from there, but my daughter just brought me coffee and it was water down. No flavor. Very disappointing. Not sure what's going on other times The coffee is very Good

    Great! Stopped by here for a quick cup of coffee around 10:45am on a Saturday. We were in and out in MINUTES. Everything was so quick! Service was great as well. My husband ended up trying a Spanish latte and it was delicious! Sweet (but not too sweet) and bold. We both really enjoyed the drink! I'd love to come back to try their blended drinks. Next time!!!

    See all

    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!

    I love a good coffee. They have some unique Latin flavors here. I got myself the El Cubano drink,…read morewhich is supposed to be pretty strong. I got it over iced, and it sure was strong, but for some reason it did not wake me up like an iced americano does, but it was still good and decently strong. I also ordered the strawberry tres leches muffin, which was my favorite item, and my wife got her abuelita mocha chocolate frapp, which tastes exactly like an abuelita chocolate just in frappe form, and it was so good, better than my drink. My first time coming here, and I enjoyed it. We don't have one of these in the valley, none that I've seen, so I'm glad I got to try this out while visiting Long Beach. But be warned, this location was packed. The drive-thru line was long, parking sucks, and there is not a lot of street parking. But still worth it, in my opinion.

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.
